What if the smartest thing a leader could do is try to make themselves obsolete? 
That’s exactly what Georgie Holt, co-founder of Flight Story, set out to test. Her 60-day AI experiment wasn’t about replacing herself - it was about freeing herself from the operational noise that stops leaders from thinking, leading, and creating. 

 In this Quick Win, Georgie shares how she built Scout - a custom AI assistant that automated the admin side of hiring and saved her 20 to 25 hours every week. By “killing off” the operational part of her role, Georgie found more time for what truly matters: people and purpose. 

Georgie and I discuss: 
The question that sparked Georgie’s 60-day AI experiment 
How she built Scout in a few conversations with GPT - no coding required 
Why mapping out her pain points was the real unlock 
The mindset shift from efficiency to presence 
How she now uses that freed-up time to focus on people and long-term vision
