After recording hundreds of product-research decisions, Josh Hadley turned his instincts into a 273-rule playbook—and handed it to AI to help train his team. In this episode, he shows how he’s using AI to help his executive assistant take ownership of email, travel, and recurring workflows, while freeing Josh to focus on growth. You’ll hear how short daily check-ins capture his decision-making, how Loom videos become practical SOPs, and how one automated coaching workflow prepares follow-up emails and notes before the next call. The key isn’t asking AI to replace people; it’s giving a trusted teammate the context and judgment to use it well.
