282: He Didn't Want AI. Now His AI TEAM Gives Him His TIME BACK (Featuring Angelo Santiago)

282: He Didn't Want AI. Now His AI TEAM Gives Him His TIME BACK (Featuring Angelo Santiago)

Author: Jacques Hopkins August 11, 2026 Duration: 1:13:21

Angelo Santiago wanted nothing to do with AI. His business is built around human connection, and he worried AI would pull him away from the clients and mission he cares about.

Instead, his AI operator, Terry, now handles recurring admin, tracks his business numbers, captures content ideas, and helps keep everything moving. That gives Angelo more time for his clients, his family, and the work only he can do.

Angelo also shares how his own marriage struggles led him to create Better Husband, what he learned from his early podcast experiments and launch setbacks, and what finally changed his mind about AI.
