Systems That Set You Free: Interviews with Leaders in Consulting · 2026-07-30 · 31 min
Thinking about implementing AI in your business? Before you invest in another AI tool, you need strong business systems. Most AI projects don't fail because of the technology. They fail because the business processes behind the work were never documented in the first place. In this episode of Systems That Set You Free , I La Tonya Roberts sits down with Emilie Schario , VP of Engineering at Anaconda and creator of Playbooks and Priorities , to discuss how documenting your business processes, building repeatable systems, and creating operational clarity are the real foundations of successful AI implementation. Together, they explore why AI should never replace broken processes, how to create documentation your team will actually use, and why reviewing your systems regularly is essential if you want to scale your business without becoming the bottleneck. Whether you're leading a growing service-based business, building your first operating procedures, experimenting with AI, or creating systems that allow your team to work without constant oversight, this conversation will give you practical strategies you can implement immediately.
