Are you feeling excited about AI, but also a little overwhelmed by how to actually use it in your Direct Selling business? In today’s episode of the Direct Selling Accelerator Podcast, I’m joined by Justin Belobaba, Founder and CEO of Nowsite, to unpack exactly how AI can support your growth without replacing your authenticity. 

Justin brings over 20 years of experience in the tech world and has built four highly successful technology companies, giving him a rare perspective on where AI is heading and how Direct Sellers can leverage it wisely. We dive into the right and wrong ways to use AI, the biggest missed opportunities in the industry, and why productivity—not automation—is the real advantage. Justin also shares powerful predictions for 2026, including smarter personalisation, AI assistants, and simpler, step-by-step systems that help distributors know exactly what to do next. If you want clarity, confidence, and a practical approach to AI, this episode is for you.
