AI is moving fast. But speed in the wrong direction doesn't help anyone.

In this episode, Dr. Una shares the five laws she personally follows to make sure every AI tool she adopts is pulling her business forward. She opens with the distinction that changed how she thinks about all of it: there's a difference between learning AI and leveraging AI β€” and confusing the two is costing physician entrepreneurs real money and real time.

Law by law, she walks through the framework. AI must serve the vision (meaning you stay the visionary β€” not the tool). It must generate a return on attention, which she makes concrete with a simple hourly rate calculation any CEO can run. It must get you results faster, it must do things cheaper, and it must give you capacity you didn't already have. She backs each one with specific examples: how she trained a Claude project to write in her voice, how she built an AI-powered data analyst to crunch years of collected survey data, how she created a slide generator, an HR department, and 19 AI employees to work alongside a team of six humans.

This isn't a conversation about what AI might do someday. It's a practical episode for physician entrepreneurs who want to use the tools that exist right now without losing their focus, their voice, or their direction.

Tune in and get inspired!
