She's a renowned AI strategist known as the Queen of AI, entrepreneur and TEDx speaker, with over two decades of experience at the intersection
of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and business innovation. Please work with the money making conversation masterclass, Alicia Little. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much. It's probably been about almost two years since I interviewed you last time. And it has been. Yes, yes. And you impressed me so much. I heard an interview on Sirus XM, like 141. And I tracked you down and I was able to get you on your show. So in that period, tell us what's been going on with your career and how much has AI changed since I interviewed you almost two years ago? Sir, AI has changed so much. There's so many new tools. And then as business owners, we're using new strategies and using AI differently, and really leaning into it even more. For me, I used to do summits every year, you know, 2023, 2024, 2025. But in 2025, I started doing it every single month because people wanted to know, like they couldn't wait a year anymore. They needed every month. Right. And then so that's the biggest thing that changed for me
is that I started doing a lot more training and teaching. I was already doing a lot of speaking and speaking at events and corporations and that sort of thing. But I've really gone all in and teaching the entrepreneur and the small business owner and especially women, how we can really leverage artificial intelligence. No, at least this is what this show is. It's about small business owners, non-profits, entrepreneurs. We used to train in AI. What exactly you were talking about? Sure. I show them how to use AI, so I don't just talk about it. Like this is what artificial intelligence is. No, I'm like, open your laptops, open up chat GBT, and let me demonstrate to you how you can use it. And then I want you to use the same prompt I use, see what results that you've just got. So what I like to do when I say training, it's let's do some interactive hands-on exercises together so that you understand how to use AI because I believe that if I can show you how to do it, you see me do it and you're like, oh, she can do it. And you're like, wow, I can do that too. And then I'm like, go ahead, do it, try it. And then you try it and you're like, I did it. Now people are more able to say after I learn from her,
I can keep going and that's what I want them to do. I guess I'm trying to slow this down a little bit for me, because I, my staff uses AI for editing, marketing, social media, plans, and in general rewriting, we download our shows now, we go to AI and use it to write our summaries, descriptions, much more professional. It's turned my company, I created a much more professional output for a map. Now when you said, learning, you show them, what are you showing them that's helping them? Because that's the mental block for me. It's like when I hear professionals like you who know it so well, but help a dummy like me. First of all, so what I like to do is I'll say, let's use this episode an example. So you take the YouTube link of this episode, and I'll say, okay, everybody open up Notebook LM.
It's a Google tool, notebooklem.google.com. And then when you're on Notebook LM, click on Create Notebook. Click on that plus sign, and then that opens up. And you see where that YouTube button is? Click on that and paste the link to this episode in there. So they follow that, they paste the link in, and then they see that, oh, now I have a summary of the episode. And then you can tell Notebook LM, create show notes from this, and it will create the show notes. And then you say, write seven emails to send out my list to tell them to watch this and why a series of seven. And then if you go on the far right hand side, which is called Studio, there's three, six, maybe nine buttons over there, click every button. It'll create a mind map for you. It'll create an audio overview of the show for you. It will create a PowerPoint presentation. It will create a video overview. It will create flashcards, a quiz, a study guide. So you click on all of that, and you see what can be created. And you're like, wow, you could take this one episode and repurpose it
into all these different, these content ways. So people learn differently. Some people might want an audio from it. Some people might want a summary in a video, form out of a quiz. And you'll get all of that in Notebook LM. So I just tell people step by step, here's the example. Like I said here, you know, put the URL of this episode, follow it all the way through, see what's created, and now do it for whatever you need in your use case to do it. Now that I've showed you one way to do it, run and test it differently. I was printing. Every time you was talking, it was like, wow, because you hear so many, I'm going to let me reference everybody. I'm speaking of a little, since the CEO and co-founder of AI Innovations. She is known as the Queen of AI. Before I go for you to extend that question, how did you, you seem to be, you saw it coming and you jumped in this lane. Yeah. So back in 2017, I spoke at a Walmart event. It was called Walmart Tech Live. It's an internal Walmart event only for their employees.
And the speaker before me, he was 15 years old at the time, Tanme, Bosch, he is his name. And he talked about IBM Watson, which is an AI tool that IBM had. He was how old? 15. So I was paying attention first of all, because I was not on stage. An event like that, at 15. So I was celebrating him and like paying attention to every word. I need to pay attention to what this 15 year old is saying. And so when I learned about IBM Watson that day, and I learned that a computer program had beaten the nation's best jeopardy champions in a game of jeopardy. And I saw this computer acting as if it was a human. I said, oh no, come on now. What is this about? And I really started to get interested in AI, especially its ability to do things that I only thought was possible for a human to do. Right. I didn't think a computer could play a game of jeopardy against two humans. Right. With logic. With right. We didn't even have the pool and the right information. Answer the questions the right way. And that's what I think. So I became really interested.
And then shortly, I couldn't use IBM Watson then. It was too complicated for me. Right. I don't have a tech background, right? So I come from the digital marketing space. But my background is environmental science and geology. Okay. So far away from where I am now. A lot going on now. Environmental science and geology. Which means that's a complex logical world that you are in. You know, when you use word science, this logic is tied to that. But as you build your brand, you start opening these different layers, what were your peer group saying to you or your industry people saying to you? Because they were not in this lane. Right. I mean, my business partners, my sister and my team, they were very concerned one back in 2022. I said, we're closing this business completely pivoting and going all in to AI training and consulting. And they were like, what are we talking about here? Nobody wants to work with AI right now. So why would you do that? But I said that in the future, in the near future, it's going to be the most highest in demand thing.
Corporations and businesses are going to need to know how to integrate AI. So we need to be the ones to say, hey, we can show you. We can teach you because we know how to use AI. And then we started, this was back in 2022. As soon as ChatGPT came out, I'd been using tools before that called Jasper and writer. But when ChatGPT came out, it changed the game because of accessibility. There was a free version. It was available for everyone. Everyone could use it. And then the rate that people started using it, it started to get international attention. Every news station started talking about it. So now I felt like, okay, people are not only going to want to use this tool, but the other AI tools that are out there are going to start to compete. And we're going to be in an AI race war where all these tools will start competing. But then who's going to be training all of these businesses on how to use these tools?

We'll be right back with more Monday Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to Monday Making Conversations Masterclass with me, Rishan McDonald. We always hear that the African American community is at the end of the line, especially in text space. Now I'm talking to an African American woman who felt I believe is at the front of the line. How do you feel about that? Yeah, thank you. First of all, thank you. And my mission really is to make sure that not only does our community not get left behind, but that we're ahead of the curve right now. So I'm speaking as much as I can at every event where black entrepreneurs are, black business owners saying, hey, pay attention and go all in on this because it will be a game changer for you. Never has there been a better time in history. I've been an entrepreneur for 26 years. This is my 26 year.
Never have I seen a better time for people to start, build, or scale a business than right now. Because if you remember back in the day, to build a website, it takes a lot of work to build a website. They charge a lot of money. And a lot of money. Now I could build a website right here in front of you and be done in three minutes. And it would just take me typing in. Just look at it. Yeah, look at your teeth. I've been done in three days, boss. You done about three minutes. And three days is still really fast with building with traditional. Like that's pretty fast. But usually we have, you know, a usual website agency is going to tell you they need a month or two to build your website. But today we can build websites at the speed of typing in our request to a tool. I use a tool called lovable lovable.dev to create my websites and my software tools now. You know, first of all, I'm enjoying this interview. And in some ways, I'm kind of in awe of you because you're talking so casual about all these tech lanes that we should all be using.
And then, but how do we use them? How do we didn't touch with you at least? Yeah. So I do a summit, a free summit every month. It's the AI business summit. So I would invite everybody to join that. So the last summit on day one, when I started off, we had 21,000 people watching 21,000 people watching live on this summit. They get bigger and bigger. You need to stop. You need to stop. I was like, oh, 21. No, 21,000 people listening to you live. Live. And we had a lot of people coming in and out on that day. But it was a lot of 100,000 people coming in. That's incredible. And it's completely free. And by doing that, I really feel like we can empower and teach and lead the way when it comes to teaching our families and our communities. So I tell people, be on your computer. So they're on their computer. And then they watch me do something and then I have them do it. And then we're off to the races.
So we always start off with something fun. Like one session, everybody turn themselves into a superhero. So graphic design for thumbnails to get attention and this sort of stuff. The last one, they turn themselves into a plushie and put their brand name on it. And then they had their plushie dance on stage. So we do, we do fun things to get people to say, oh, this is cool. I see how I can use it, my business. And then we're like, let's write emails. Let's write sales copies. Let's build web pages. Let's build a software tool. So it's AIBusinessSummit.com. It's completely free and I do it all the time. AIBusinessSummit.com. That's it. That's once a month. This is the first Monday, first, first, first. It's usually kind of the middle of the month, but on the website, I always update it for when the next one is. Okay. So people can always join. Okay, at least I did you get to 21,000 people that show up on your brand live. It has to take experience. It's the credibility of what I did. I was stuck. Remember when you told your staff, AI is coming. They looked at you and going, we need to talk to her.
So yeah, now it's about scaling the business that we have. And it's about doing as much self promotion as possible. So when I talk to business owners and entrepreneurs and say, you want a bigger audience, you've got to talk more. You've got to show up more. I'm always showing up at summit sessions, radios, interviews and talking about my passion. And the more that I do that, the more people that I can attract my summit. And I talk about my mission all the time. It's to help demystify artificial intelligence and help people cash in on the AI revolution. That's it. You want to cash in on the AI revolution. You need to learn some AI comes to my summit. And then I'm easy to reach on all social media platforms. But since the last time we were, we did the interview, I, my social media has grown by probably 100,000 on Instagram. 50,000 on YouTube. So, but it takes dedication commitment and no matter how much AI I use, it still work. It's still work.
So it's that as entrepreneurs and business owners, we have to say the amount of effort that I put into my business is a direct result. I see the result on my bottom line. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm confused. I hear about AI. I hear AI. Yeah. There are four mats out there. You said chat GPT. Yeah. I think I use copilot a lot because it's tied to my Microsoft platform. I hear Gemini is the bomb. It is. How does one make a decision on which one of these platforms? I'm sure I'm leaving some out. Sure. How do you make recommendations or you allow the client to make the recommendation? And you, because you're going to look like you're pushing somebody somewhere because you get in the side, right, payment or whatever. How does that work? Right. So I usually, the tools that I focus on, I usually look and say, is this, has this tool been in round for a while? What are the chances that it will be around for a longer time? What are the investments looking like into this tool? Who's running the tool?
So that gives me some sense of longevity of the tool, safety, you know, on the tool. So, for example, I love a tool called Hey Jen, which I use for video cloning. They used to be called Movio back in 2023 when I first demoed them and they constantly improve, like constantly improve. So if you're using a tool and you constantly see the improvements that they're making, you know, all right, this is some place that I can invest my time into learning this tool and using it for my business. But over the years, I've just formed my toolbox, but I have tested hundreds, if not thousands of tools, AI tools, testing them all the time. And seeing, can you knock out my number one? You know, I'm always looking for what's better and especially what the new and upcoming tools can do. But there are some core tools, Chachi BTI love, you mentioned Copilot, great for companies that have Microsoft 365 already, is not my favorite tool, but it's great, especially the integration of it.
There's Google Gemini, which Google came out like and opened their doors and they're like, we're here and we're taking over AI. They did so good. So they have they have amazing tools, no big a lump that I was talking about as a Google tool and they have nano banana that creates great graphics and they have VEO3, which creates great video. They have study guides for so they've got a lot of good tools. I also love perplexity.ai. It's a fantastic research tool. So it sounds like you just given away information. How are you making money? Well, I also teach people to do exactly what I do. So I have a consultant program and I teach people if you want to be a consultant like me and go in businesses and teach them with tools to use do trainings and stuff for them. It's a certified program certified consultant. They can come and take those programs and they pay me for that. So you know, my mission is is big and by me really getting out my mission and saying, hey, I'm going to demystify AI for you and show you how to cash in.

This conversation could be loud, conversation is so interesting. I want to just bumble, keep on brand, keep on brand, bro, you need to educate other people. Now, you have organization harness AI powered automation drive innovation and scale impact across industries such as finance. I want to talk about that health care government and entrepreneurship. Let's talk about finance.
Yeah. So in every industry, AI is impacting every industry. And when we look at the finance industry, we're looking at how are they using AI? We have some banks now that have really integrated artificial intelligence into a way where they have AI agents answering the phone calls and helping customers before it would ever get to a human. I hate them. You don't like that. I like it. There's like a no, I go zero agent agent agent real person real person. You're you are talking to the ones that aren't good. So there are great AI receptionist now. They haven't gone mainstream yet. We're using them in our business. I have one. Leslie. I have another one Monica and Monica makes me so much money because people call our phone number. And before I had it going to voicemail and the voicemail people don't leave messages. And now we have our average is 92% of people interact with Monica till the end. Sometimes it's have our director of business development call back or leaving a message or something for customer service.
But at least people interact with her. But here's what we do. That's different. When our AI receptionist answer. She says, Hi, I'm Monica and AI receptionist for at least see a little. And so right off the bat, we're not we're being transparent that she's AI and that really helps us. But back to the finance, you know, and every industry people are using it, but also financially when we look at small businesses and entrepreneurs, we need to be using it in our own finances as well. So make sure that you set the tools where you have a level of security with them. So chat you BT, go to your settings, click on security, turn on multifactor authentication. Then go back to settings, click on data controls and turn off the ability for chat you BT to share your data with their big model. And now you go to it and you say, these are my PNLs from last year, right? What revenue gaps was I missing? How can I 10X my income? So I've done this. I do this all the time. And it helps me go from, well, let's just say that I made the income that I made in the whole year for 2024. I made in one month in 2025.
And this is by using artificial intelligence to say, what gaps are I missing? Where do I need to go based on this information and what you know about me and these things that are I'm doing. And the and the plans that it can spit out for you. If you follow them, because that's the hardest part is then the implementation. Like let's follow it can can be a game changer for small businesses. The biggest game changer. Cool. Now let's talk about health care. Yeah. So we're seeing AI in in healthcare and all parts of healthcare right from the administration part to the tools that they're using in hospitals now and in private doctors offices. And we're seeing that. So will you say that health care would you go on to the mental side as well? Because I hear there's a lot of AI agents that are really delivering healthcare vice. They are. They are. I will tell everybody you need to be, you know, cautious about using AI for for mental health care advice, but go into it knowing that you're using an AI and just make sure that the settings are, you know, favorable to you so that you know that if you're using an AI therapist, how that therapist acts and what data they're trained on and knowledge that they're trained on. But let's say that somebody is going through something sometimes there's not a human for you to talk to.
There's so many people who struggle and don't have a person to talk to, but now they're opening up their phone and they're using AI and we call this conversational AI, but they're having a conversation with AI to help them get through something. And so or we call these AI companions a lot and older people are using AI companions as well. So it makes a big difference when someone doesn't have someone to talk to that at least they have an AI to talk to and we're going to see this more and more. I know. It's going to be a really big. Yeah, you know, because of the fact that, you know, they already got little robots bringing you stuff. You see these calls driving around, mapping out and you just hopping the back and then taking to the airport. Right. Now, but the government, you know, we, we know people are always that's what the big fear people always talking AI is going to take my job. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. So when I hear the word government, what role does AI play with people who feel it's going to take their job really if they tweak that. If they tweak their opportunities, they can benefit from AI. Yeah. So you packed a lot of things into that question right there. So let's talk about the government and AI first. Our government is really pushing AI. They want America to be the number one at AI adoption and AI integration. And then when you talk about jobs and people losing their jobs. Yes, we're seeing that people will be losing their jobs. People have lost their jobs. Companies have come out and said we're laying off those who are not AI literate to hire people who are
or we've laid off a group of people because AI can now do that. So to the person I say you need to go out there and be AI literate. You need to be AI fluent because right now there are not enough people that are AI literate and fluent to take all of the jobs opportunities that are available. In fact, as AI consultants and strategists, there is a huge crisis right now where there are not enough AI trainers out there to help these companies integrate and use these AI tools. So I'm telling people like look and see this is your second, you know, this is your second move. Think about a new career in doing something with AI or if you're in a job right now, future proof yourself and learn artificial intelligence and integrate it into the work that you're doing and raise your hand in your jobs and the job. And your jobs and say hey, I've taken AI classes. I'm AI certified. I know what to do. Let me help. So we've seen a lot of people do that who've been put on AI committees who are starting AI committees and their future proofing themselves. They're making themselves more valuable.
And in the times that we're in today, we're in an AI revolution. If you want to make sure that you have a job or your business is growing, you have to there's this there's not should I maybe I will later know you have to learn how you can leverage AI because those using AI will replace you those using AI will as your competitors will far surpass you. So you need to be paying attention to things like that. Well, we started out talking about small businesses and entrepreneurship. So that's what this whole show is about. If you had to give some quick steps of an entrepreneur or small business owner or nonprofit, listen to this interview. How did it get in touch with you and what are the steps to utilize the services at your company? Yeah. Thank you for asking that. The best way to get in touch with me, you can go to my website, Alicia little dot com and on that contact me for him. I answer those that come into my contact. And she does. Yeah. I got her. A L I C I A L Y T T L E dot com also unlinked in. I'm very active. Alicia little and Instagram. I'm pretty active. And then of course my AI business summit, which, which the amount of small business owners that have had great game changing
moments from being there is great. So I always encourage them to come there. And then the different programs that I offer is everything from free training to certification. And I have mastermind groups where we really work with business owners to teach them how to integrate it specifically into their business. So we get more into coaching and integration specifically for them. We also help people write books with artificial intelligence. So we do a lot. But I'd say a lot of people start off with joining one of our summits or sending me a contact us message and seeing how I can help them. You say in one of the questions, it was sent to me is that AI is a human first technology. Yes. Why do you say that? Yeah. We're using artificial intelligence. It's AI plus human intelligence. Right. So the AI plus H I it's the human that's using artificial intelligence that can that knows how to use it well that can take things to the next level. Okay. But AI just sitting there sitting right here. Right. We have chat you be see right here. Let's say it's not doing anything without me or you telling it what to do.
And the better we are at telling it what to do the better results that we get from it that we can then use to grow, multiply and expand our business. So we have to make sure that as humans. Right. This is how we talk now. Like we have to make sure that the humans are making sure that they know how to use the AI and I foresee in the near future where work changes. So where we're working, you know, right now we're working. We're doing our work. Right. But in the near future, we're going to be watching AI do our work for us. And we're going to be managing and monitoring the AI and we'll all have AI doing work for us. Right. At the personal level in our households and then also at the professional level in our work spaces. The Alicia little experience. That's right. You know, you walk with through a journey of AI. I still don't know what I should know. I still am in the dark of a lot of things because you unpacked a lot on the show. But you also told me where I can go to disseminate all this information and they're organized and recognizable path to discover. So thank you for coming on my show again. Thank you.
