ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
This week, the 2 Regular Guys are joined by our good friend Jay Busselle to talk about how automation and AI are transforming the promo, apparel, and print world. Jay is gearing up for his new event, Automate & Elevate, designed to help professionals work faster, sell smarter, and stay profitable. We’ll dive into why now is the time to embrace automation, how AI can elevate people—not replace them—and what trends are shaping the future of our industry.

Aaron: Jay, lots of changes for you over the past year. Share what you’ve been up to lately.
Terry: The Big Picture:
What makes Automate & Elevate different from a typical webinar or training session? And why is now the right time to focus on automation and AI in the promo, print, and apparel space?
Aaron: The Mindset Shift:
A lot of small business owners still feel like automation or AI is “too big” or “too technical” for them. What’s one mindset shift that can help them get started and actually see early wins?
Terry: Humans + Machines:
You’ve said before that automation shouldn’t replace people — it should elevate them. How are you seeing that play out in the promo and apparel world right now?
Aaron: The Road Ahead:
Without giving away all the secrets from Automate & Elevate, what’s one trend or tool you’re most excited about that’s going to change the way our industry works over the next year or two?
Terry: It’s all happening here on the 2RG’s platform, but give our listeners the details about tuning in. And tell us how people can reach out to you.
