About this episode

Dan Martell discusses how business owners can leverage AI to save over 20 hours a week.

Most business owners are losing 20+ hours every single week to work that AI could be doing for them right now, and they don't even realize it. In this episode, I show you exactly how I use AI to claw back at least 20 hours a week so I can run over a dozen companies while traveling and barely touching my phone. Stick around because the way most founders are using AI today is the exact reason they're still drowning in their calendar. Prompts from the episode (run these on your AI with your calendar connected): 1) "Audit the last 2 weeks of my calendar. Based on my quarterly goals doc in Notion, tell me what meetings I shouldn't be in, what stuff is below my pay grade, and where I'm wasting time. Ask me questions first to get better context." 2) "Okay, based on that, build me a mock calendar of what I should actually be spending my time on. And walk me through your reasoning." 3) "Now tell me the top 3 action items I need to focus on to make this change happen. Be specific. Who on my team is involved, what's the impact, what's the plan." ▸▸ Subscribe to The Martell Method Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3XEBXez ▸▸ Get My New Book (Buy Back Your Time)…
