Okay?
So omagally from Landel. But I've been living in New York for like ten years. My rest of my family is in Orlando. It's put it between like Orlando and Miami. And I finally got like, I just closed on the house.
Congrass.
I really want thank you so much. I know that you're big on home ownership.
Yes I am, And I really want my family to do the holidays this season at my spot. Since I've been living in New York, I've been going down to Orlando all the time to go spend.
It with my family. My sister has kids. Boy, I'm having trouble on how to ask them for them to come up here.
So what happens when you ask them or when you propose that.
I haven't yet. My parents are Caribbean.
They're really strict.
It's like they're ware the highway.
And I'm sure because you're the only one here, it is more difficult for everybody to travel. But you have to make it seem like a little treat and a little vacation. Is there anybody in your family who you could have on board in your corner so that when you guys propose this it sounds exciting and fun.
Yes.
I have two sisters. My other youngest sister, she's actually considering coming to college in New York. I was thinking about, well, maybe if you come out here, we can see NYU. Maybe she wants to like kind of do a college towards type of thing.
Right, And you have Caribbean parents that I know they big on college, okay, And so I would say get the sisters on board first where they're ready to like go and get their flights. And it also can double as that we can go see NYU. You know she wants to go to NYU, so we can be supportive of that and get them on board. So when you guys propose this, it's more like listen, we were thinking this year, since I just bought a house, it could be like an amazing housewarming. I would be so appreciative for you guys to come and see where I'm at. And I want to take care of you because you guys have done so much for me every single year every time I come out there.
Now I want to return that.
And I also want to have my sister go and look at school, and we can be supportive of that.
At the same time.
We are one persuasive lady, and I'm gonna tell them. Eduly says, so to spend Christmas here.
Yes, spend Christmas here, and then let them know.
Look, have some plans and things ready to go, not too much because you know, we hate a full lot tenerary. But maybe there's like a Broadway play you guys could go see that they could only do if they come to New York. Maybe you guys plan like to go see the tree, whatever it is that you want to do. So if you can make it seem like it's going to be like a fun trip for everybody but also productive but also great for you. You bought a home, let me take care of you guys. All you got to do is get on the plane and come here. I got everything else.
Yes, well, thank you so much.
This is great. All right, I'm coming over to hey life.
We want to take out though.
All right, all right, well, thank you for calling and good luck.
Thanks that was ask ye eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you could leave a message and ask a question that way and when we come back. I told y'all it is a wealth Wednesday. Angelina Darisa is joining us. She's a digital coach for Google, but she's also got her own business where she's actually coaching entrepreneurs.
She's the founder and CEO of the c Suite Coach.
But she's going to help you guys learn how to scale your business with help with Googles, Gemini AI.
All right, we'll tell you all about it. It's way up.
Had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth Wednesday, on way up with Angela Yee.
What's up?
Its way up at Angela Yee And it's our favorite time of the week.
It's Wealth Wednesday. I'm as Stacy Tisdale my partner, and.
We have a great end of year boost for all you entrepreneurs out there. H Angelina Darisaw, the founder and CEO of c suite Coach, which is just an incredible platform.
Is here today.
She's here to teach you guys all about AI and what AI can do for small businesses. Thank you so much for coming.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
Before we even get into the AI with c suite Coach, I just want you to give people some insight again on what your business is, because I know you've gone through a lot to grow the business the way that you have.
C suitet Coach, we're almost approaching a decade. We are an organizational development consultancy. So essentially what that means is we work with large companies on people solutions, upscilling their talent on leadership skills, offering executive coaching services, and also building programs that foster community. One of those programs includes the Growth Google Digital Coaches program, which we've been working on since twenty seventeen, so really making sure that we're thinking about resources that communities need to upskill themselves and to develop themselves as leaders.
So, first of all, tell us how you have used AI in your own business.
Well, one of the big things that we've been focusing on for the near term is doing a better job at submitting for RFPs. And I don't know if you've ever looked at a government RFP, but they are like ninety pages longh. And that's also a great opportunity for more small businesses to be thinking about. But in any case, the RFPs are really long, and I could pop my RFP into Gemini and ask it give me my deliverables, also tell me the timeline important dates I need to know. The other way all cuts down days days of work. And then one other thing I will call out that's been really helpful is Notebook LM, which is another tool where you can actually put in a web address and have it scan a website and tell you what it finds. And we did this. We put our website in there and asked it to come up going through our website looking at what would the commonly asked questions be for our website, and it populated a list and now, without having to us much thought power, we're adding frequently asked questions to our website to answer some of those questions for our customers right now.
It's it well through Wednesday.
Stacy tis delit here with me and we are talking to Angelina Daris, our founder and CEO of the c Suite Coach but also a Google Digital coach.
AI is here. Eighty percent of small businesses are using it, and especially when I hear you describe how you're using it, it's almost hurts your bottom line not to absolutely.
Yeah, the businesses who aren't using it are putting themselves at a disadvantage really because it's here, and as you call out, businesses are already using it. Those businesses that are using it are saying it's helping them increase productivity, They're gaining more sales and also they're reducing costs.
I used to be a technophobe, but hear about new technology and be like, oh, I have to get trained in this. It's not that at all. The key is asking the right questions, talk about how important that is.
Yeah.
Absolutely, So we actually have a workshop that's free on demand online that's available for anyone g dot co, Slash Growth, slash AI for SMBs, completely free, and that workshop is all about the quality of a good prompt. So I do use Gemini and I use it for a number of reasons. I am a small business owner. I leverage Google Workspace to run my email accounts, our cloud, our docs, work you know, everything slides everything within Gemini. I can sync it with my Google Drive and say even like look at path articles I've written train it on my voice and then now write an email in my voice.
Angelina Darisi is here for Wealth Wednesday. We'll talk more to her when we come back about AI, about being a digital coach, and also about her own business and helping entrepreneurs. Its way up, had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind.
Sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.

I know, I think it's relatively new.
So Google is taking the lead with us with Gemini Gemini Business. I know it's for small businesses and if people want to get trained on all of this, you are a Google Digital coach. Tell us what that means.
Yeah, So since twenty seventeen, I'm really excited. I've been working with growth Google Digital Coaches program and I serve as a national coach. Essentially, what that means is we create trainings and deliver trainings like what Ange went.
Through all across the How long was that training? That one is about forty five?
Yeah, I was like, yeah, you can learn things so healthful and they're really focused on throughout the whole country figuring out how to help more small business owners and they do.
This with free.
We do this with free skills based training, no cost at all, and you can sign up for free training anytime. We're in seventeen states and trainings are happening throughout the country every day. So really glad that that's a resource. We've been able to support over two hundred and fifty thousand small business owners at this point, and the numbers will just keep growing and next year we're going to be supporting a lot on AI because it's going to keep changing and we're going to have to keep business owners up to date on these things.

Dot Google Slash Digital Coaches and you can find the coach that's nearest to you. You can also, as we called out, take some of my on demand courses that are available. But there are workshops again in all the markets, both virtual and in person, completely at no cost.

I don't play, and I'm always about educating myself, so I want to make sure that people again take this absolutely free course.
Yes, because why wouldn't do this.
You're play in the background while you're, you know, washing your dishes. It's it's very quick, it's very efficient, and I would say most importantly impactful, and you'll walk away with a new knowledge of how to do something. You're using Google anyway, right like everyone is, so at least figure out now how to adapt to that next stage, which is those AIS tools that are embedded.
You have given us a lot of websites for Google, Digital Coaches and for c Suite. Promise that you'll put these on your social media and tell people how to find you on social media.
