AI for Small Businesses, Where You Actually Start Without Overwhelm

Most small business owners arent avoiding AI, theyre carrying too much. Between running jobs, answering phones, leading teams, and keeping the business moving, theres little space to sort through the noise around new technology. This talk meets business owners exactly where they are and reframes AI as support, not another responsibility. Well explore how AI is already showing up in simple, effective ways and where it fits without adding tools, complexity, or disruption. This isnt about replacing people or rebuilding your business, its about creating consistency, reducing missed opportunities, and giving owners back time, clarity, and breathing room.

Talk Learning Objectives:
See the real pressures small business owners are carrying and why overwhelm, not resistance, is the barrier to AI

Clarify where AI fits inside a contracting business and where it doesnt, without adding tools or complexity

Discover how AI supports teams through missed calls, follow-up, and customer communication

Identify the most common revenue leaks and how AI helps close them

Walk away with one clear starting point for using AI to save time, create consistency, and reduce pressure

Speaker Bio:
Lucy Davis is a systems-driven entrepreneur with over 25 years in construction and service-based industries. She has scaled multiple businesses while working hands-on in home services, where speed, follow-up, and operational clarity matter. Lucy calls herself a manypreneur, building smart, sustainable companies designed to support real life, not run it. Most recently, she launched HerDrive AI to help small business owners use AI as a layer of support, creating consistency, protecting time, and reducing the pressure that often falls on the owner. Her work is shaped by experience, resilience, and a deep understanding of what it takes to keep a business moving forward, even in seasons that require more strength and support.
