Many founders approach automation with a single idea in mind: “If I just automate this one thing, everything will get better.” But the truth is, businesses aren’t built on one system—they run on dozens of interconnected ones.

In this episode of Automate Your Agency, Alane and Micah challenge the “one workflow” mindset and show why real freedom comes from systemizing the entire business, not just automating a single task. They share stories from their own experiences—mergers, exits, and client work—on how building layered systems can reduce employee overhead, eliminate bottlenecks, and even increase a company’s valuation.

You’ll learn:

• Why no business truly has “just one process”
• How to shift from transactional fixes to long-term systemization
• The risks of relying on institutional knowledge trapped in people’s heads
• How systemization supports different founder goals (taking time off, changing roles, exiting, or building a legacy)
• Practical ways to prioritize what to automate first—based on impact, not just feelings

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the day-to-day of your business or wondered how to prioritize what to systemize next, this episode will give you the roadmap—and the mindset shift—to get started.

There could be an AI security risk brewing in your business.

Your team is already using AI—the question isn't whether they should, but whether you have control over how they're using it. This solo episode with Micah tackles the security nightmare that most business owners are completely ignoring: uncontrolled AI usage across their teams.

Employees creating personal ChatGPT and Claude accounts, uploading company proposals and client data, then leaving with all that information still in their personal accounts. Even worse, paid AI accounts are sharing your business data for training purposes by default.

What You'll Learn:

• Why personal AI accounts create data retention nightmares
• Step-by-step instructions to secure ChatGPT and Claude settings
• How to create AI policies that actually work
• The critical difference between chat interfaces and API usage
• Why even paid accounts share your data for training by default

This episode provides the roadmap to get ahead of AI security issues before they become a crisis that could cost you clients, competitive advantage, and legal compliance.
