This isn't about forcing compliance—it's about earning buy-in through better communication, smarter timelines, and understanding the human psychology behind organizational change.

In Episode 57, Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson share hard-earned wisdom about why teams resist change and the exact framework that can transform resistance into enthusiasm.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The real reasons your team dreads new systems
• How to identify and leverage your champions
• The proven timeline that actually works for sustainable change.
• Plus, real stories from the trenches about what happens when change management goes wrong (and right).

With how fast business is evolving, change management isn't a nice-to-have skill—it's survival. Master it now, or spend your budget on turnover instead of growth.

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.
