What happens when AI makes your business model obsolete in six months, but your money is locked away where you can't touch it?

Jamie built a successful medical transcription service over fifteen years. That is ... until AI-powered tools could do the same work in minutes at one-tenth the cost. She had the vision to pivot and the industry knowledge to succeed, but faced a devastating problem. The problem was that her capital was trapped! It was in retirement accounts that she couldn't access without massive penalties.

In this episode, we explore why traditional financial advice can leave business owners asset-rich but opportunity-poor. This becomes a big problem precisely when AI disruption hits their industry. We also reveal the strategy that's helping smart entrepreneurs not just survive the AI revolution. Some even profit from it while their competitors struggle.

Key Quote: "I had money, but not where I could use it when I needed it most."

What You'll Discover:

• How a medical transcription business owner lost a $150K opportunity to compete with AI (and what she could have done differently)
• Why the accounting firm that embraced AI transformation thrived while similar businesses failed
• The story behind Raj's $2.8M fleet upgrade that cut operating costs by 23% in 18 months
• How to access capital for business pivots without penalties, taxes, or bank approvals
• Why the pace of AI change makes traditional business financing dangerously obsolete

Listen now to discover how to build wealth that works WITH your business evolution instead of against it.
