Should You Hire Offshore… or Replace It All With AI? What You Need to Know Before You Do ANYTHING with Marissa Kos

Are you saving AI posts and prompts on IG?

Are you using Chat GPT here and there but have no idea what it could look like to actually incorporate it into your business?

Or even wondering if you should ditch the team and buy a Mac Mini to build your business with Open Claw?

Take a deep breath and listen to this episode.

The AI landscape is moving FAST and it can feel very hard to keep up with (and that’s because it is hard to keep up with).

I wanted to chat to someone who has been in the industry from the start. So today I’m sitting down with Marissa Kos (aka The Blonde Bot and founder of MXM), who is helping founders build AI systems, train their teams and actually make it work inside businesses.
