Someone asked Claude who they should hire. Claude told them to hire me.

This morning I received a new inbound lead from a business owner looking for a Fractional CMO to oversee the digital strategy for several of his companies.

When I saw how he found me, I immediately asked him:
“What did you ask Claude that led you to me?”

He sent me the actual prompt.

He told Claude about his businesses, his location, the marketing support he needed — websites, social media, PPC, digital integration — and essentially asked:
“WHO can you suggest to us?”

And Claude recommended me.

Think about that for a second.

He wasn’t searching my name.

He wasn’t asking Claude to research me.

He had a business problem and asked AI who he should hire to solve it.

THAT is the shift businesses need to understand.

For years, we optimized websites around:
“How do I rank on Google?”

Now there’s another incredibly important question:
“When my ideal customer asks AI who they should hire… will AI recommend ME?”

That’s AEO — Answer Engine Optimization.
And here’s the wildest part…

I’m spending my weekend attending two AI and marketing conferences, learning everything I can about where this technology and our industry are heading.

Meanwhile…

AI literally sent me a lead.
The future we’re all talking about isn’t coming.
It’s already here.

So I built something that lets you start answering the question for your own business:
Check your AI Visibility Score:

See how visible your business is becoming in the AI-driven world — and where you may have opportunities to improve.

Because your next customer might not Google you.

They might ask AI who to hire.

The question is: Will it say your name?

🤖 AI is moving from the technology stack… into the WORKFORCE.

And that shift is happening faster than most businesses realize.

In this episode of The AI Brief, we’re looking at what happens when AI agents stop being tools we occasionally use and start becoming digital workers with access to actual business systems.

One of the biggest issues that comes with that?

Security. 🔐

CrowdStrike and OpenAI recently expanded their partnership around securing AI agents — giving businesses greater visibility into what supported agents are doing, what they can access, and whether they're behaving in unauthorized ways.

Because building an AI workforce isn't:

“Here are all my passwords. Good luck, robot.” 😂

An AI employee needs a job description.

It needs permissions.

It needs guardrails.

It needs oversight.

It needs to know what it can and cannot do.

Sound familiar?

We're entering a world where businesses may need to think about managing AI workers in many of the same ways they think about managing human workers.

And THAT'S why I believe the conversation needs to move beyond:

❌ “How can we use more AI?”

to:

✅ “If AI were another member of our team, what job would we give it?”

That's the opportunity.

The companies that figure out how to strategically build, train, deploy and manage an AI workforce aren't simply going to have better technology.

They're going to operate differently.

If this AI Brief has you thinking about what's possible, here are three ways to take the next step:

AI isn't coming for the workforce someday.

AI is becoming part of the workforce now.

The bigger question is:

What are YOU going to do with it? 🤖

🤖 AI just got promoted.

We’ve spent the last few years talking about AI like it’s another piece of software businesses need to learn how to use.

But the latest AI news points to something much bigger:

AI is moving from the tech stack into the org chart.

In this episode of The AI Brief, my AI Clone breaks down three developments every business leader should be paying attention to:

🔹 Microsoft is literally organizing part of its business around “Agents and Infra.”

🔹 AI customer service is evolving from chatbots that answer questions to agents that can actually take action across business systems.

🔹 And as companies give AI agents more access and autonomy, businesses are now having to think about permissions, security, guardrails and oversight.

Sound familiar?

We may be getting closer to the point where implementing AI looks less like buying software and more like hiring, training and managing a digital workforce.

And THAT changes the question business owners should be asking.

❌ “What AI tools should we be using?”

✅ “What jobs should AI be doing inside our business?”

That’s exactly why I created my FREE AI Workforce Assessment.
