Best Service AI

10/01/2026

Last night was the Gulf Coast AI Collective’s first session at the Gulf Breeze Rec Center. I came for my friend Jenni of Human Kind Intelligence and left feeling connected to the mission.

Thank you to Tom Northrup for leading the group and Jenni for bringing her perspective as an educator. The conversation about responsible AI, safety, and protecting human values really stayed with me.

I use AI every day through Best Service AI, but relationships are what build trust and loyalty. I want technology to strengthen those connections.

I’m 100% behind The AI Collective’s mission. And this is why I love Gulf Breeze Proper Community we look out for each other here. ❤️

25 years.

We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of those who ran toward danger to help others.

Yesterday, we celebrated 136 years of the Greater Pensacola Chamber🎉

Founded in 1889 on the idea that local businesses are stronger together than alone, and that still holds true today.

As a newer local business, we’ve experienced firsthand how much a referral, introduction, or simple connection can mean.

Grateful to be part of the Pensacola business community and to celebrate this incredible milestone.

Here’s to the next 136 years! 💙

Happy Labor Day.

A lot of small business owners aren’t taking today off.

The restaurant is open.
The shop is open.
Somebody is answering the phone.

If that’s you today, I hope you at least get a slow afternoon.

And if you’re the person who hasn’t had a real day off in months because the business doesn’t run without you, that’s worth sitting with.

Not today. But soon.

Because your business should eventually be able to run without requiring all of you, all the time.

Google can rank you. AI can ignore you. 😳

A recent SOCi study analyzing 350,000+ business locations revealed how often AI platforms actually recommend a specific business location:

🔹 ChatGPT: 1.2% (roughly 1 out of 100!)
🔹 Gemini: 11%
🔹 Perplexity: 7.4%

When potential customers ask AI for the best local services, AI narrows down the list fast.

So the question isn't just:

"Do I rank on Google?"

It's also:

"Does AI even know my business exists?"

👀 Quick test: Ask ChatGPT to recommend a business in your industry and city.

Did you make the cut?

I walked into a business development round table last week expecting a networking meeting.

I left thinking… THIS is what networking should look like.

The Alternative Board - TAB Emerald Coast hosted a sample peer advisory meeting last week..., and honestly, it completely reset my expectations.

No awkward elevator pitches.
No “What do you do?” conversations that end with a business card exchange.
No trying to sell everyone in the room.

Instead, there were real business owners talking about real challenges.

We started with introductions.

What are you building?
What are you proud of?
And what’s actually keeping you up at night?

Then came the part that really stuck with me.

Two business owners brought specific challenges to the group and received honest, unfiltered feedback from people who had absolutely no reason to simply tell them what they wanted to hear.

That kind of perspective is rare.

Sometimes we're too close to our own businesses to see the problem clearly. And sometimes the people giving us advice are too far removed to truly understand it.

Having a room full of experienced business owners who can challenge your thinking, offer a different perspective, and hold you accountable?

That’s powerful.

If you’re a business owner who sometimes feels like you’re solving everything alone, this is the kind of room worth being in.

Huge thank you to Neal Grossheider for creating something so genuine and to Micky Kilburn for the invitation. 🙌

More business owners need rooms like this.

Diving 40 feet under the surface in Barbados gave me a completely new perspective on AI. 🥽🌊🇧🇧

While exploring the reefs here, I got to learn about BlueBOT, a incredible local initiative that uses underwater robotics, computer vision, and machine learning to map coral reef ecosystems, monitor marine health, and even create virtual diving experiences.

Seeing AI used to protect ocean biodiversity while generating open data for ocean conservation is beyond inspiring.

Here's what hit me, floating above the reef off Bridgetown: my own business was running on autopilot at the same time.

That's the whole point of good AI. It works quietly in the background so you can be somewhere else.

If your business stops when you step away, you built a job, not a system.

What would you do with the hours automation gives back?

66% of small businesses use AI now, up from 55% a year ago.

70% say it’s growing their revenue. But 70% also say they still need more training to actually use it right.

The most common entry point? Customer service. 51% of small businesses using AI started there, because the ROI shows up immediately. A call you didn’t miss. A lead that didn’t go cold. An after-hours inquiry that got answered.

You don’t need to overhaul your business. You need one thing working while you sleep.

That’s where I’d start.

The best part? People aren't just clicking and leaving, their engagement time went up too, meaning we’re connecting them with the right audience.

Community Chaplain Network does critical work- they provide chaplain services to first responders and communities in crisis. People need to be able to find them. Now they can.

Thank you to Community Chaplain Network, INC for trusting me with this project and for allowing me to share these results.
