Sandra Booker, founder of Sidekick COO and Creative Scale Society, shares how she went from 60-hour weeks as the “single point of failure” to building an AI-powered advisory board that helps her make decisions faster and execute with less friction. Sandra explains how she uses Claude (including “curated rooms” and role-based AI board members) to challenge her thinking, protect pricing, shape offers, and turn meeting minutes into ClickUp action items automatically.
