You know AI is the answer, but you're overwhelmed by the hype and don't know where to start.
"The AI Hat Podcast" is your practical guide to escaping the grind.
This isn't another show about abstract AI theory. This is a workshop for building your AI-powered operational engine, piece by piece. Join your host, Mike Allton—a fellow solopreneur and AI architect—as he provides step-by-step "AI Workflow Teardowns" designed to solve your biggest bottlenecks.

Build custom "AI Agents" that act as your social media manager, content assistant, and operations coordinator.
Achieve true scalability by designing systems that grow your business without requiring you to hire more staff.
Apply the H.U.M.A.N. Framework to ensure AI augments your unique creativity and expertise, rather than replacing it.

Are you training your AI, or is your AI training you?
AI for Solopreneurs: The AI Hat Podcast

1 week ago
Are you training your AI, or is your AI training you?
Ever feel like you're spending more time teaching your AI tools how to work than actually getting work done? You're not alone.
In this week's AI Hat Dispatch, I share the brutal moment I realized I'd become an unpaid trainer for yet another "revolutionary" AI video tool - and the eye-opening lesson that changed everything about how I approach AI in my business.
If you've ever found yourself jumping between a dozen different AI platforms, each demanding you learn their language and work around their limitations, this episode is for you. We'll explore why the most successful solopreneurs don't actually use more AI tools - they use fewer, better, and smarter ones.
More importantly, I'll show you the difference between being your AI's assistant versus being its boss, and why that shift is the key to finally building systems that work FOR you instead of against you.
This isn't about adding another tool to your stack. It's about becoming the architect of your own AI-powered business.
