Using AI to Scale Solo Without Outsourcing Your Brain (with Pia Silva)
listen wherever you get your podcasts:
There's a version of using AI that makes you sharper, faster, and more confident in your work. And then there's a version that quietly hollows out the expertise you've spent years building. Pia Silva, founder of No BS Mastery, TEDx speaker, and author of the brand new book Scale Solo, joins Erika to get real about the difference and why it matters more than most people realize.
Key themes from the episode:
Why women in business tend to feel guilty using AI (and why that guilt is misplaced)
How Pia used AI to write her book without letting it write her book
The lead product process and why the highest-value parts of your work can never be outsourced
What it actually looks like to use AI as a thought partner instead of a ghostwriter
How to build a solo business that hits your financial goals without working yourself into the ground
Why outsourcing the busy work to AI creates space for the high-level thinking only you can do
If you've ever wondered whether using AI means you're somehow cheating or doing less, this episode reframes the whole conversation. The goal isn't to do less thinking. It's to protect your thinking by getting everything else off your plate.
