Episode 62: The Data Science Gold Mine Hidden in Small Business AI Solutions

About this episode

While most data scientists chase after scraps at the big business table, a hidden gold mine sits completely ignored. Small businesses are desperate for AI solutions but can't get help because everyone thinks they're "too small."

The truth? These overlooked clients - representing a staggering 99.8% of all businesses - are willing to pay real money for simple AI implementations that deliver jaw-dropping ROI. We're talking five to seven-figure returns from solutions you could build in your sleep.

In this episode, Heidi Araya joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to reveal exactly how data scientists can escape the soul-crushing enterprise world and build a thriving practice serving clients who actually appreciate your genius.
