Let’s be honest: you’re probably spending way too much time reinventing the wheel every day-and so is your team.

In this episode of Automate Your Agency, Alane and Micah get straight to the point. They’re here to show you that templates aren’t just another bland productivity tip-they’re actually the secret sauce behind real business growth and smooth automation.

Think about it: How many different ways does your team answer the same client questions? Why does every project kickoff feel totally different depending on who’s in charge? And seriously, why are you still starting from scratch every single time?

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

  • How shared templates can turn a bunch of scattered processes into a streamlined system everyone can follow
  • The one crucial step most businesses skip when making templates (spoiler: if nobody knows they exist, nobody’s going to use them)
  • How to upgrade your manual templates into fully automated workflows that actually scale

Whether you’re leading a team of two or twenty, it’s time to stop settling for the chaos of everyone doing things their own way. This episode is your green light to standardize, template, and eventually automate the repetitive stuff-so you can finally focus on the work that really matters.

If you’re enjoying the podcast, we’d love a 5-star review! It helps other listeners find us and lets us know we’re on the right track. And don’t forget to subscribe-new episodes drop every week!

Send us a text Tired of those dreaded "automation failed" notifications? You've built the perfect workflow, everything runs smoothly for months, and then someone changes a single field name—suddenly your entire system crashes. Sound familiar? Alane and Micah know this frustration all too well, and they're here to tell you there's a better way. Traditional automation with its rigid mapping and brittle connections is becoming a relic of the past. In reality: while automation early-adopters are maintaining technical debt with 75+ fragile automations, newer businesses are starting AI-agent first. They're building flexible systems that adapt like humans instead of breaking at the first sign of change. This isn't about lowering standards—it's about building smarter systems that actually scale with your business. In this episode, you'll discover: Why traditional automation feels like it's held together with digital duct tape How AI agents use context and instructions instead of rigid mapping The crucial difference between "technical debt" and "people debt" Which of your current automations to prioritize for upgrading first Why companies that embrace this shift now will dominate their industries If you're running a business where changing a form field requires calling in technical support, this episode will show you how to build systems that evolve with your needs instead of fighting against them. The automation revolution is here—the question is whether you'll lead it or get left behind. Enjoying the podcast?

Send us a text If you're worried that AI is coming for your job, you're asking the wrong question. The real question is: what if AI could eliminate all the tedious work you hate doing so you can focus on what you're actually good at? In this thought-provoking episode of Automate Your Agency , Alane and Micah tackle the biggest fear around AI and automation head-on. Yes, some jobs will change. But just like we don't miss phone operators or copying documents by hand, the jobs disappearing are often the ones that were keeping us from doing our best work anyway. The truth is, AI cannot fully replicate human-to-human connection, strategic thinking, or creative problem-solving. What it can do is handle the busy work, the copy-paste tasks, and the time-consuming lookups that drain your energy and steal time from what you're actually hired to do. Here's what you'll discover: Why AI agents enhance human creativity instead of replacing it How to identify which tasks should be automated (and which shouldn't) Why consistency from AI beats human inconsistency every time The "uncanny valley" problem that keeps humans essential Whether you're a leader drowning in busy work or worried about your team's future, this episode shows you how to think about AI as your productivity superpower, not your replacement. The companies embracing this shift are already pulling ahead—don't get left behind. Ready to explore how AI can transform your business operations? We're launching a mastermind focused on implementing these concepts responsibly. Shoot us a note to get on the waitlist! Enjoying the podcast? A 5-star review would mean a lot!

Send us a text If you're constantly jumping between projects, making tiny progress on everything, and finishing nothing—your team probably feels like they're getting spaghetti noodles thrown at them all day long. In this focused episode of Automate Your Agency , Alane and Micah tackle the productivity trap that's killing most small businesses: trying to do 20 things at once instead of doing one thing really well. The word "priority" was never meant to be plural. When you have multiple priorities, you actually have zero priorities. And when your team gets scattered directions every day, they can't build momentum on anything that matters. Here's what you'll learn: The simple exercise to narrow infinite tasks down to your one true priority Why "minimum viable" beats "perfect" every single time How to let projects breathe before moving to the next shiny thing The accountability systems that keep you (and your team) on track Whether you're building systems, launching products, or scaling your business, this episode shows you how to break the cycle of endless baby steps and start actually completing the things that move your business forward. (And if you're struggling with perfectionism, check out our episode on "Why perfection is killing your business growth." Ready to get focused and get things done?

Send us a text If you're still requiring college degrees in your job postings, you're accidentally filtering out some of your best potential hires—and you might not even realize it. In this eye-opening episode of Automate Your Agency , Alane and Micah share why they ditched degree requirements over 15 years ago and never looked back. Plot twist: the person with the master's degree still needed training on PowerPoint, while some of their most innovative team members never set foot in a lecture hall. The reality is simple: whether someone has a diploma or not, you're going to train them anyway. The real question is whether they have the curiosity to learn, the drive to teach themselves, and the personality that thrives in your specific role. Here's what you'll discover: Why degree requirements actually limit your talent pool without improving quality How to screen for the traits that actually predict success (hint: it's not GPA) The portfolio approach that reveals real skills better than any transcript Why former entrepreneurs often make exceptional employees This isn't about lowering standards—it's about focusing on what actually matters. If you want team members who think creatively, solve problems independently, and aren't afraid to be wrong, this episode shows you exactly how to find them.

In this episode of Automate Your Agency , they break down how a simple 60-minute Monday gathering accomplishes what endless Slack messages and one-way leadership announcements never could—creating actual team connection, idea-sharing, and results. Here's what you'll take away: The exact Monday meeting structure that gets even the quietest team members voluntarily contributing ideas Why forcing "team building" fails (and what actually works to build genuine connection) How to balance fun, learning, and productivity in a single meeting without wasting time The ripple effect that happens when team members start seeing each other's strengths If you've tried and failed to build culture with your remote team or find yourself dreading "another meeting that could be an email," this episode shows you exactly how we turned our mandatory Monday meetings into something the team actually looks forward to—with measurable business results.

Send us a text If you're leading a team or running a service-based business, you know meetings are a necessary evil for building relationships and keeping things moving forward.

In this episode of Automate Your Agency , Alane and Micah share how AI meeting tools are doing the heavy lifting—turning conversations into clear summaries, action items, and providing the key details you need to quickly draft follow-up emails. No more scrambling through notes or asking, “Who was supposed to do that again?” Here’s what you’ll take away: How to use AI to instantly generate to-dos and follow-ups (without lifting a finger) Why clear internal processes are the real secret to getting value from these tools Reduce manual tasks and improve accountability How AI can double as your meeting assistant and your content repurposing engine If your calendar is packed with calls but your team’s still chasing clarity after every one, this episode is for you.

Send us a text Feeling the need for better systems in your business but unsure where to begin? Many businesses recognize inefficiencies but struggle to determine where to start. That’s why we developed the Priority Impact Review —a structured approach to identifying high-impact improvements across operations. Some of the most common challenges we find in our review? Excessive meetings. If every decision requires a meeting, productivity suffers. Data silos —when departments hold onto information rather than sharing it efficiently. There's so much more to explore here. In this week's episode of Automate Your Agency , Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson break down how the Priority Impact Review works: ✅ Start with an anonymous (or semi-anonymous) survey to gather candid feedback from your team. ✅ Conduct one-on-one interviews to uncover deeper insights into key challenges and opportunities. ✅ Identify department-wide and company-wide trends to pinpoint the best opportunities for automation, workflow optimization, and AI-driven solutions. ✅ Balance quick wins with high-impact initiatives —smaller optimizations can drive immediate efficiency gains while laying the foundation for larger improvements. 👉 The goal of the Priority Impact Review is simple: focus on the changes that will drive the most meaningful impact in the shortest time. Have you done something similar in your business? 🎧 Micah mentioned it in this episode, but if you are interesting in exploring how AI agents can automate and optimize your business processes, check out EP 41: "What are AI Agents and What Could They Be Automating in Your Business?" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts .
