Is your AI use exposing your business to risks you can’t see coming?

It’s not just about saving time — it’s about protecting your clients, your content, and your credibility.

In this episode, Dawn Andrews sits down with AI strategist Elizabeth Goede to unpack the real (and often ignored) risks of using AI in business. From ChatGPT to Claude, learn what founders must know about security, data privacy, and ethical use — without getting lost in the tech.

“You wouldn’t post your financials on Instagram. So why are you pasting them into AI tools without checking where they’re going?”

Listen in and get equipped to lead smart, safe, and scalable with AI — no fear-mongering, just facts with a side of sass.
