Transcript

[00:00:00] Aarti shares her view on AI as a tool to accelerate business systems. When processes are documented and repeatable, AI can supercharge them for speed and efficiency—making things happen 100 times faster.

[00:05:00] Aarti opens up about her powerful pivot at the end of 2023. After years in corporate, she woke up on January 1, 2024, and declared she’d build a six-figure business—without knowing exactly how. Within weeks, she registered her LLC and launched Kodenyx AI.

[00:10:00] Kelley and Aarti discuss how people stay stuck because they focus too much on “how” instead of starting with “why.” Aarti emphasizes clarity of vision and daily action over overthinking the process.

[00:15:00] Aarti explains the difference between traditional automations (step-by-step tasks) and AI automations that add personalization and decision-making. Many businesses aren’t ready for AI because they haven’t even automated basic admin work.

[00:20:00] She introduces her five A’s framework for AI adoption: moving people from curious, to assessing gaps, to alignment, to lift-off, and ultimately becoming AI-first thinkers.

[00:25:00] Lead generation is a huge challenge Aarti tackles using AI. She explains her cold email system that personalizes outreach at scale, reflecting the founder’s voice and significantly improving appointment rates.

[00:30:00] Kelley admits she’s never tracked how many people visit her website. Aarti stresses that businesses must know who visits their digital ecosystem and how to capture and nurture those leads.

[00:35:00] Aarti explains how AI agents can act like virtual team members—responding to leads, remembering conversations, and keeping context—all tasks that would otherwise require human effort.

[00:40:00] She underscores that data and analytics are critical. If you’re not measuring, you’re not improving. AI helps uncover bottlenecks and guide where to focus next.

[00:45:00] Aarti shares her definition of success: having the freedom to drop everything and take her parents on trips while her business runs on autopilot. Until then, she’s committed to daily standards that bring her closer to that vision.
