Summary

The Future of Your Business Includes AI Agents… And They’re Not as Complicated as You Think In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and AI-savvy entrepreneur, Rick Mulready, to talk about something that's been blowing my mind lately → AI agents. You’ve heard about ChatGPT, and if you’re an overachiever, you’ve even dabbled in CustomGPTs. But AI agents are the Mac Daddy of them all. Think, responding to data in real time, anticipating your project needs, and making reason-based decisions for you. And the best news? You don’t need to be techie to start using them in your business. Rick breaks it down in the most approachable way… from what AI agents actually are, to how to start using them today to save time, improve workflows, and scale with less stress. Whether you're a solopreneur or you have a team, this episode will shift the way you think about efficiency and growth. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ AI Agents Aren’t Just Fancy Chatbots, They Can Do the Work for You – AI agents don’t just complete one task. You can give them goals, set parameters, and they’ll take action, like researching, writing, posting, and even responding, without you lifting a finger (after you’ve trained them, of course). 2️⃣ Start Small, But Start Now – You won’t nail it on the first try (and that’s okay!). Rick explains how to begin with simple tasks like social media posts or inbox filtering so you can build confidence and see results fast. 3️⃣ The Right Tool + The Right Workflow = Magic – Tools like Relay.app make it simple to build workflows and integrate AI agents into your business. And when you pair that with ChatGPT and clear context, you’ve got a powerful team member working 24/7. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What’s working in my business? I’ll show you!

0:00.0	Hey there. Welcome to the Amy Porterfield Show.
0:11.3	So keep track of what you're doing. What are the repetitive tasks that you're doing in the business?
0:17.2	Or if you have a team, what a repetitive task that the team is doing. I'm not saying
0:22.8	get rid of your team. The reality is, though, is that this is where things are going. The idea is
0:28.8	to have agents compliment people on your team so that they can do higher leverage work.
0:39.9	I've got a funny story about my guest today, Rick Mulready.
0:43.7	Rick's been on the show, the Amy Porterfield show already once,
0:47.1	and he's been on the online marketing made easy podcast many, many times.
0:51.5	So I feel like I've known Rick for at least 10 years. And he doesn't know this
0:56.2	story. But back when we first started to become friends, he lived in San Diego. I lived in
1:01.3	Carlsbad, which is very close to San Diego. And we would meet up every single week at Starbucks.
1:07.1	And we were a few years into our businesses. So we would talk about what wasn't working. We'd
1:12.1	complain to each other about how hard it was to get our businesses off the ground. We would help
1:17.0	each other, create content and strategies and all of that. So we were really good friends really
1:22.7	quickly. And I would talk about Rick with Hobie, who happened to be my new husband at the time.
1:28.2	Like, we hadn't been married that long.
1:30.3	And so I would say, Rick this and Rick that, and I'm going to go meet with Rick.
1:34.1	And so one day we were at Starbucks and we were just working away on our computers.
1:39.2	And Hobie, my husband, walks into Starbucks.
1:42.3	And he never goes to Starbucks for the record. And he made a
1:45.8	beeline to our table and he sat down, like out of nowhere. And he had never met Rick, so I introduced
1:51.7	them. And then he kind of like just stayed around. I'm like, what are you doing, babe? Like,
