A CEO’s AI Experiment: How AI helped me fire myself

Georgie Holt set herself a radical challenge: Could she completely remove herself from the operational side of her job using AI? In this conversation, Georgie shares how she used ChatGPT tools to build systems that dramatically reduced the time she spent on hiring, communications, and day-to-day decision-making.

Georgie is the co-founder and CEO of Flight Story, which she co-founded with Stephen Bartlett. It’s the media company that is home to The Diary of a CEO - the second biggest podcast in the world, with over 1 billion streams and over 11 million YouTube subscribers. 

Georgie walks us through her process for identifying what to automate, how she built a custom GPT to handle interviews, and why she believes this technology can be a game-changer - especially for women in leadership.

You’ll learn:

• How Georgie saved 20–25 hours a week with AI
• The custom GPT she built to run candidate interviews
• Why she created a "writer’s room" AI model inspired by Hollywood
• How AI can help leaders double down on emotional intelligence
• The two areas Georgie now spends her reclaimed time on

This is part one of a two-part conversation that explores the future of work, leadership, and how to use AI to elevate (not erase) your humanity.
