Bryan, whose company has been called “the Uber for lawn care” by Entrepreneur Magazine, shares how AI helped him transform GreenPal’s operations from reactive problem-solving to proactive customer experience design. His insights reveal how even small businesses can use AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to listen to customer feedback, identify hidden operational problems, and continuously improve.
What started as a simple lawn care platform evolved into a case study in how AI can build customer loyalty at scale. By analyzing call transcripts, customer reviews, and support tickets, Bryan discovered patterns that were driving dissatisfaction and churn—issues that traditional customer service models often miss. Using AI, he built automated workflows that not only fixed these issues but predicted them before they happened. The result? Happier customers, fewer complaints, and a dramatic increase in repeat business.
Bryan’s process is refreshingly straightforward: use AI as your in-house R&D team. He breaks down how any entrepreneur can replicate this approach without coding or big budgets, and why he believes AI is the “rocket ship for entrepreneurs.” From ingesting customer data to generating actionable insights, Bryan shows how the same tools used by billion-dollar companies are now accessible to small business owners everywhere.
Listeners will walk away with practical strategies they can implement immediately, including how to automate customer feedback analysis using AI, how to turn negative reviews into data-driven growth opportunities, and how to build “magical” customer experiences that keep people coming back.
Corey and Bryan also dive into the human side of AI adoption, discussing why founders resist customer feedback, how to avoid “AI laziness,” and why prompting is becoming the most valuable skill in modern business. As Bryan puts it, “These tools are as bad as they’ll ever be. They’re only getting better—so now’s the time to learn them.”
Whether you’re a business owner looking to boost repeat sales, a founder curious about AI’s real-world applications, or simply someone tired of guessing what your customers want, this conversation delivers clarity, inspiration, and an actionable roadmap for growth.
Tune in to learn how to harness AI not just to make your business smarter, but to make it truly magical.
