How AI is Quietly Making Your Service Model Obsolete
Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming; it's already here. And it’s quietly dismantling the traditional service model while most leaders are still debating its “potential.”
If your business relies on manual research, repetitive execution, or predictable workflows, AI has already surpassed your efficiency. The question isn't if it will affect you; it's where it already has.
The real risk isn't AI itself, it’s complacency. Founders who continue to operate under the same assumptions that once made them successful are the ones most at risk of becoming irrelevant.
The opportunity lies in rethinking how you create value. Ask yourself:
Which parts of your business model can be automated or accelerated by AI?
Which parts truly require your human expertise, creativity, and judgment?
The companies that will thrive are not those that resist AI, but those that redesign their models around it, freeing their people to focus on the high-value work only humans can do.
This episode breaks down the shift that's already happening and how to adapt before your service model becomes a case study in obsolescence.
