Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into the powerful intersection of AI and lean operations with our special guest, Chad Bareither, founder of Bareither Group and expert in operational excellence, continuous improvement, and lean thinking.

Chad brings a grounded, real-world perspective from years of working with manufacturing and utility companies. Together, he and Jonathan unpack a critical question for modern businesses:

Is AI actually making you more efficient—or are you just doing the wrong things faster?

They explore how easy access to AI tools can tempt leaders into “more, more, more”: more posts, more tools, more projects, more data. But without clear goals and a solid process, AI becomes an accelerant for chaos instead of a driver of meaningful results.

Chad explains how applying lean principles—clarity of purpose, focus on value, and disciplined measurement—can help business owners deploy AI intentionally, not emotionally. Instead of throwing AI at every problem, he shows how to treat AI like a team member: define its role, set expectations, and measure outcomes.

From manufacturing lines and data lakes to social media strategies and boutique consulting practices, this episode is a masterclass in doing less, better—and making sure AI serves your business instead of overwhelming it.

Notable Quotes:

• "There's nothing more wasteful than doing efficiently what should not be done at all." – [Paraphrasing Peter Drucker, cited by Chad Bareither]
• "AI is just an accelerant. If you have a bad process, you’re just going to do it faster." – [Jonathan Green]
• "I like to think about any type of AI solution you're putting in as a team member. What is the role of that team member, and how will I measure whether or not it's being successful?" – [Chad Bareither]
• "You have a presence, but you don't have a following." – [Chad Bareither]
• "The more viral something is, the less likely it is to appeal to your ideal customer." – [Jonathan Green]
• "What’s really going to eliminate your business is not AI in itself. It’s bad scoping and weak process." – [Chad Bareither]
• "We’re keeping people busy generating AI that’s generating a bunch of stuff—and this ‘more’ is now just amplified." – [Chad Bareither]

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we tackle a massive generational challenge: can AI help solve the “silver tsunami” of baby boomer business owners looking to exit their companies—and do it in a way that protects jobs, preserves legacy, and maximizes value?

Our special guest is Jonathan Cheung, a business broker with Transworld Business Advisors, the world’s largest business brokerage firm. Jonathan specializes in helping small and medium sized business owners successfully exit, and he brings a rare combination of big firm valuation expertise (KPMG, Facebook, tech valuations) and hands-on experience with traditional, Main Street businesses.

Notable Quotes:

• “I think it's a historical moment where trillions of dollars are expected to transfer over the next two decades. It's really the largest wealth transfer in history.” – [Jonathan Cheung]
• “AI as a source of labor… works for you 24/7 and is able to have more predictable outcomes.” – [Jonathan Cheung]
• “Every business someone started themselves, there’s no instruction manual. That’s why their first hires struggle—nothing is documented.” – [Jonathan Green]
• “People either massively overvalue or massively undervalue their business. They’ll shut down a thriving business and say, ‘Nobody wants it,’ or think it’s worth 10, 50, 100 times what it is.” – [Jonathan Green]

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into how AI is reshaping the world of website building and small business marketing with our special guest, Pedro Sostre, a seasoned digital marketer and key leader at Builderall.

He and Jonathan break down why so many “AI website builders” fail, what business owners actually need, and how to future‑proof your skills in an AI‑driven market.

They explore the growing gap between what AI tools promise and what they actually deliver, especially for small business owners who are busy, overwhelmed, and not interested in becoming “prompt engineers.” Pedro explains how Builderall is tackling that challenge with pre-built, strategy‑driven funnels and AI‑assisted tools that do the heavy lifting in the background—so business owners can focus on running their business, not wiring together tech.

You’ll hear them discuss why design alone doesn’t sell, how bad AI content is clogging the internet, and why the people who win won’t be AI itself—but the humans who learn to use it better and faster than everyone else.

Notable Quotes:

• “Right now people are expecting all sorts of different things, and the reality is they’re generally getting junk, even if it looks good.” – [Pedro Sostre]
• “Whatever you think you have secure job security in today is probably not gonna exist in two years… You should be doing something different in three years.” – [Pedro Sostre]
• “People do not care which AI they’re using. They don’t care if the backend is Grok or DeepSeek or ChatGPT. They only care if it works.” – [Jonathan Green]
• “We’re not gonna be replaced by AI. We’re gonna be replaced by people who are better at AI than us.” – [Jonathan Green]
• “Train it to do what you do now, because your job needs to be different in two years.” – [Pedro Sostre]

Pedro highlights how Builderall is evolving from “a big toolbox” into a guided, AI‑assisted marketing platform. With their new “builds,” a course creator, agency owner, or realtor can log in, choose their business type, and instantly see which tools to use, in what order, and how they all connect—without needing to touch APIs, Zapier, or complex integrations. It’s like having a marketing consultant baked into the software, helping you deploy proven funnels instead of guessing your way through 25 different tools.

Pedro shares how Builderall is integrating AI behind the scenes to write copy, build pages, and connect tools for small business owners who don’t have time (or desire) to learn complex prompting. Their focus is on making AI simple, contextual, and results‑driven—so users see more leads and sales, not just prettier websites.

If you’re a small business owner, agency, or creator wondering how to actually use AI to grow your business—without becoming a full‑time tech expert—this episode is a must‑listen!
