In this short monologue, Joe Apfelbaum shares his observation that most CEOs he’s spoken to lack practical knowledge of how to apply AI in their daily work. He dismisses sci‑fi hype and frames AI as an always‑on personal assistant that can draft emails and manage outreach within seconds. He stresses the importance of preserving a human voice when using AI‑generated content to maintain authenticity, consistency, and profitability. He ends with a call‑to‑action, inviting founders to comment their biggest AI‑related struggle so he can provide concrete, step‑by‑step solutions.

I spoke to a crowd of CEOs, and most of them don't know how to actually use AI at work. Forget the sci-fi hype. Think of AI as an assistant who never sleeps. It drafts your emails and handles your outreach in seconds. Just make sure that you don't sound like an AI, but human. That saves you time, builds daily consistency, and grows your profits. Founders, comment your biggest struggle below, and I'll send you the exact steps to fix it.
