Summary
In Episode 65 , Chad, Tony, and Lars explore how business owners can turn unexpected chaos into operational gold. When a rare North Carolina snowstorm threatened to derail a week of factory training for the Calgary team, the hosts pivoted to an impromptu Technician Exchange Program . They discuss the massive "ROI of fresh eyes" when a guest technician shadows your team and provides an unfiltered perspective on your culture and workflows. The conversation then shifts to the "Invisible Employee"—Artificial Intelligence. One year after their first AI deep dive, the trio discusses how the tool has moved from a leadership-driven "ask" to an organic part of their employees' daily habits. Chad shares how he is currently using LLMs to "shake up" the accounting department to find efficiencies that were previously hidden by "the way we've always done it." Plus, Tony shares some major personal news as he prepares to "level up" his family with a second child.
