   249. Turn AI Into Your $3K/Month Assistant (No Tech Skills)

   What if the way you're using AI right now is only saving you minutes, when it could be giving you back entire days? In this episode, Dr. Jen Blum gets honest about where most entrepreneurs are going wrong, relying on AI for quick wins like content, while ignoring the real payoff in automation, AI agents, and systems that handle the work you keep repeating. She breaks down how to start using AI in a way that actually frees up time, what ethical and human-centered AI really looks like in practice, and why your thinking still matters more than any tool you plug in. If you've been experimenting but not seeing real traction, this will shift how you approach AI starting now. It's not about using more tools. It's about finally using them the right way.

   248. Maribel Lara goes from Gary Vee's Chief of Staff to CEO of Beget Love

   What happens when you walk away from a powerful corporate brand… and realize you have to become one yourself? If you've ever felt the pull between security and purpose—this conversation will hit deeper than you expect. In this episode of Life After Corporate, Deb sits down with Maribel Lara, former marketing leader alongside Gary Vaynerchuk turned founder of Beget Love Consulting, to unpack what it really looks like to start over—with zero revenue, no safety net, and a whole new identity to build. They dive into the unfiltered realities of leaving corporate, from confidence gaps and visibility fears to rebuilding your network and learning how to attract clients on your own terms. This isn't theory—it's the emotional, strategic, and deeply human side of entrepreneurship that most people never talk about. So the real question is… are you ready to stop borrowing credibility—and finally build your own?

250. Lessons From 13 Years in Business

Published 2 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Are you open to me asking you a few questions about your thinking? What is it specifically that you need to think about? Now, most times when someone says I need to think about it, the response is, oh, okay, I understand that. You don't even make a follow-up call. Instead, that person leaves the conversation where you have lost a sale and they've lost a solution. So when people express their thinking out loud, they get to the bottom line of their fear. And when they get to the bottom line of their fear, they get clarity and it gives you a path forward. There's something to coach on if someone can express what they're truly afraid of. […]
