Most people open Claude or ChatGPT for the first time, type a question, and start working. And that's fine,  it'll still give you a decent answer. But if you stop there, you're using maybe 20% of what either tool can actually do for your business. The other 80% lives in the setup: a handful of settings that tell the AI who you are, how you want it to sound, and what it's allowed to access on your behalf. Do this once, it takes about 15-20 minutes, and every conversation after that starts already knowing your business instead of starting from zero. Here's exactly what to set up, in both tools, before you dive in.

  Brittni sits down with Robert Molling, founder of 1% Fitness Kitchen, for one of the most honest founder stories the podcast has featured. Robert opens up about overcoming addiction and incarceration as a young adult, and how he found purpose through fitness and cooking during his recovery. He walks through building 1% Fitness Kitchen from a single day of home meal prep into a nationwide shipping brand, the evolution of his marketing from flyers and gym booths to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok ads, and the lessons he's learned about when to DIY and when to delegate. Robert also shares his refreshingly candid take on influencer and affiliate marketing, and how he built a second business turning his original kitchen into a commissary space that's helped launch several well-known Utah food brands. It's a conversation about resilience, hustle, and the power of getting 1% better every day.

Not sure which AI tool actually fits your business? This episode breaks down ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — what each one does best, real small business examples for coaches, consultants, and service providers, and why the smartest entrepreneurs are using all three together instead of picking just one.

Instagram expert Sue B. Zimmerman joins the show to talk about her 30+ years as an entrepreneur, her 18 businesses, and how she built her career teaching Instagram marketing to women and small business owners. She and Brittani dig into why authenticity beats AI-generated content, how Sue B. is growing a new audience on Substack through her Soulful Selling Sisterhood community, and how a new skincare affiliate venture became an unexpected business highlight. The two also talk about the power of community-driven, grassroots marketing over chasing algorithms.   Resources: The Meeting Place Membership Rock The Reels 1:1 Coaching Free Client Welcome Guide Additional Trainings and Resources Connect with Brittni: Follow me on the Gram - @brittni.schroeder Join my Facebook Group  Visit my website Subscribe to my Youtube You can find the complete show notes here: https://brittnischroeder.com/podcast/#
