Preston Anderson knows things about the tax code that most CPAs will never tell you. And now, thanks to AI, that knowledge is no longer locked inside one person's brain.

In this episode, Andrea and Susan sit down with Preston, a tax strategist who built a 12-person firm around doing what most accountants refuse to do: using the tax code the way it was actually written.

Preston is blunt about the industry, clear about what is legal, and completely unbothered by competition. He is also the last person you would expect to build a custom software app in 10 days with zero coding experience. And then he did exactly that.

This conversation goes deep on what it actually looks like when original intelligence meets artificial intelligence, not as a replacement, but as a multiplier. Preston's story is a masterclass in why deep expertise is an asset in the AI era, not a liability.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why most CPAs leave serious money on the table, and what a real tax strategist does differently
• How Preston built a full custom app on Replit in 10 days by dumping his frustrations into an AI tool instead of writing a single line of code
• Why AI gives dangerously bad tax advice by default, and how an expert has to fight it to get to the right answer
• What the pizza tracker analogy reveals about client trust, transparency, and the future of professional services
• How Preston plans to take his own expertise and put it into the hands of accountants across the country

Every creative is asking the same question right now, "if AI can do what I do, what am I actually worth?"

Design mentor and funnel strategist Alyssa Aviles has been sitting with that question, honestly and out loud. In this conversation with Andrea and Susan, she shares what it really feels like to navigate a 16-year creative career as AI reshapes the industry, and what she's discovered about the part of human creativity that no tool will ever be able to manufacture.

Alyssa is a Canva and ClickFunnels ambassador, award-winning funnel designer, and the author of the upcoming book Create a Better Brand, a guide to building an authentic personal brand in a world where AI is replicating everything except your soul.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the speed AI creates is quietly killing creativity, and what to do about it
• How human intuition differs from AI pattern recognition, and why that gap is exactly where creatives will thrive
• Alyssa's personal branding framework: why it starts with knowing yourself before thinking about your audience
• The 10% of expert work that AI can't replace, and how to build your future around it
• Why sharing your real life on social media is one of the most strategic brand moves you can make right now

There's a question keeping every course creator and coach up at night right now: if AI can answer almost any question instantly, what are people actually paying you for?

Chris Cameron, VP of Coaching Programs at Prime Mover and ClickFunnels and the man behind Russell Brunson's 2CCX and Prime Mover coaching programs, joins Andrea and Susan to answer it.

With 26 years alongside Russell and a front-row seat to how the industry is shifting, Chris brings a grounded, experience-first perspective to the AI conversation that cuts through the noise.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why AI can deliver information but cannot replicate the lived experience that creates real transformation
• How Russell Brunson's 10-80-10 framework keeps humans in the driver's seat while letting AI do the heavy lifting
• The hybrid facilitated learning model that Prime Mover uses to scale coaching without losing the human element
• Why disclosing that something is AI actually increases trust and tolerance from your audience
• How the "time-money loop" works: why people give you time before money, and how human connection drives retention and ascension
• The three types of learning, and why only one of them actually requires a coach

Your brain was designed to heal your body. So why isn't it working?

Lori Olds, naturopathic practitioner and founder of Ascend Brain Center, joins Andrea and Susan to break down the science of why so many of us are stuck in chronic fight-or-flight, and what it actually takes to get out.

From microcurrent neurofeedback to haptic frequency patches that send corrective signals through your skin directly to your brain, Lori's work is part cutting-edge science, part reminder that your body already knows what to do when given the right signal.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your nervous system gets rewired around fight-or-flight as the new normal, and how to reverse it
• What microcurrent neurofeedback is and why it can work when talk therapy hasn't
• How haptic patches use your skin to send corrective frequency signals to the brain, with zero ingredients entering your body
• What each of the 15 brain codes does, from Peace and Liberty to Joy, Defend, Zen, and Kick It
• Why Lori believes a regulated nervous system is the foundation for showing up fully human

AI can write your emails, build your funnel, and personalize every touchpoint in your client journey. But what it can't do is create what happens off screen, the moment your client tears open a box, runs their fingers across the pages, catches the scent of something unexpected, and feels the weight of a medal they actually earned.

That experience is entirely, irreducibly human. And according to Mark Stern, most online business owners are leaving it completely on the table.

Mark is the founder of Custom Box Agency, and in this conversation with Andrea and Susan, he makes the case that we've been so seduced by the efficiency of digital that we've accidentally stripped out the very thing that makes transformation stick: the body.

Experience is perceived through the senses, and every fully digital product is working with two of the five. The other three are wide open, and almost nobody in the online business world is touching them.

This is an episode about reclaiming the senses AI will never own, and building a business around them.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why digital-only delivery is failing clients at the moment they need momentum most
• How tapping into touch, smell, and physical interaction creates deeper memory and identity shifts
• Why the decline of the info product is actually an invitation to do something more human
• How to design a physical product experience that builds confidence, gamifies progress, and keeps clients engaged for the long haul
• Why the rise of AI is making physical products more powerful, not less, and what "AI-enabled" boxes actually look like in practice

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why Jenna believes human connection is about to become the ultimate flex in business, and what that means for how you show up

When was the last time you walked away from a conversation and thought, "That person was completely, fully there with me"?

Not checking their phone. Not waiting for their turn to talk. Not trying to impress you. Just, there.

That's what it feels like to spend time with Sarah Grace Allred. And in this episode, Andrea and Susan go deep trying to figure out exactly how she does it, and whether the rest of us can learn it too.

What starts as a conversation about presence turns into something much bigger: a real exploration of what makes human connection possible in a world that keeps pulling us away from each other.

Sarah's secret weapon is a single question she carries into every room she enters: "How are we alike?" Not what can I get from this person, not how do I look, not what do I need to say next. Just, where do we meet?

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The question Sarah asks in every conversation that creates instant connection, and how to make it your own
• Why the ordinary, unsung parts of someone's life matter more than their accomplishments when it comes to real relationship
• How a lesson from Sarah's late grandmother (a tobacco farmer who was unfazed by prophets) shaped the way she moves through the world
• The difference between the hero's journey and the heroine's journey, and what it reveals about what people actually need before they'll trust you
• Why making space for hesitation, fear, and uncertainty builds deeper loyalty than confidence ever could
• What it means to let another person's lostness, and your own, be the bridge between you

This one is for anyone who has ever wanted to be better at showing up for the people in their life, in conversations, in business, and everywhere in between.
