A few weeks ago, I ruffled some feathers on social media. I said, “Telling people you wrote your book with AI is like telling people you ran a marathon with your car.”
Wow. People took umbrage with that statement. And while I stand by what I said, I thought it would be a good idea to talk to an AI expert. So I reached out to Bryan McAnulty of Heights Platform to see me (or everyone else) straight. And you know what he told me?
We’re all doing it wrong. We shouldn’t use AI as a proxy for Google. We should use it as an actual assistant. And for that, we need to give it a ton of context.
Top Takeaways
- Instead of thinking of AI as a tool, think of it as an instrument. You need to learn how to play it and personalize it to play your kind of music.
- In the long run, you won’t be able to use AI to cheat, because what makes your content unique is your personal experiences.
- Since AI works on how you train it, You can have as many AI assistants as you want. It doesn’t just have to be one.

What is Streamlined Solopreneur: Systems for Overwhelmed Coaches, Consultants, and Service Providers Who Want Their Time Back?
Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone — and it's not because you're bad at this.
Whether you coach, consult, or run a service business, when you're solo, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.
But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, and AI doing the tasks, not the thinking, parts of your business can run without you. That's what buys back your time and gives you the freedom to take a real break...and the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.
Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.
Every week, one clear idea to help you beat overwhelm and build a business that doesn't depend on you. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
