🚀New AI Insights episode of Automation Unplugged — live now.
In Episode #368, Ron Callis welcomes back returning guest Jason Barth, CEO and Lead Designer of The Premier Group, to share how he turned a year of scattered AI experiments into a real operating system for his business.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why AI felt like a pile of cheap hacks for a year, and what finally made it meaningful
✅ How Jason built the foundation first: a common language document, a company taxonomy, and an org chart his AI tools can actually use
✅ How Premier structures its Claude workspaces around the full project life cycle, from marketing through customer service
✅ The install-to-service handoff that now produces a personalized client letter and full warranty documentation in about 30 seconds
One of Jason's best pieces of advice: "Our goal is the human becomes more important, not less important. I'm not trying to replace anybody. What I'm trying to do is have tighter standards and a better outcome for our clients."
