AI is changing business fast, but Ed Parcaut and Brian Galke believe the real opportunity is using AI to create more time for human connection. In this episode of ACES53, Ed and Brian talk about AI agents, virtual assistants, Growth Hacking Live, GoHighLevel, Claude, ChatGPT, app building, smart automation, bad chatbots, customer service, live events, masterminds, and why business owners still need to be in the room. Ed shares his biggest takeaway from Growth Hacking Live: AI should remove busywork so entrepreneurs can spend more time talking to clients, building relationships, networking, and doing the work only humans can do. They also discuss how VAs and contractors are being replaced when they do not keep up with new tools, why employees should be trained to use AI instead of ignoring it, and how AI agents can support people rather than only replace them. Topics include: ACES53 moving to Wednesdays Brian’s human connection event in Dallas Jim Morris and Connect or Die Jimmy Hayes Nelson and the Five Cs Growth Hacking Live takeaways AI agents and business automation Replacing low-level VA tasks with AI Why VAs need to evolve Humans plus AI agents Bad chatbots and customer frustration AI phone systems and customer service When AI should hand off to a human AI clones and video translation AI backlash and authenticity GoHighLevel workflows Claude, ChatGPT, and app reviews Using GitHub with Claude to improve apps AI Jerky and daily AI news Building tools to solve your own headaches StreamYard graphics and transparent logos AI for YouTube banners and brand assets Live events, masterminds, and networking Why small rooms can beat big conferences Vistage, LevelUp, and AI conferences Why being in the room still creates opportunities Hosted by Ed Parcaut and Brian Galke.
