SUMMARY:Cochrane Chamber of Commerce Lunch 'n Learn - How Small Businesses Are Using AI to Take Back Their Week
DESCRIPTION:Description\nJoin us for an AI themed Lunch n’ Learn – refuel and connect over a fresh lunch spread with sandwiches\, fruit and veggies and a sweet treat to enjoy! \n11:00 am – 12:00 pm: Networking & Lunch\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm: Presentation \nPresentation Description: \nMost small businesses don’t have an AI problem. They have a systems problem and AI just exposes it. In this 30-minute session\, Aaron LeBlanc\, founder of Cochrane-based Hypelocal\, breaks down exactly how local businesses are using AI today to eliminate the invisible bottlenecks that quietly eat 5–10 hours out of every week. No theory. No buzzwords. Real examples from real businesses\, trades\, real estate\, retail\, and professional services\, that have automated the boring-but-critical work and won back their time.\nAttendees will walk away with a simple four-question audit to identify which tasks in their own business are ready to be automated this month\, a take-home handout with the five highest-leverage automations every Cochrane business should have in place by year-end\, and a live demo showing how AI automation can save time and make your business more profitable.\nIf you’ve ever felt like your team is too busy doing low-value work to focus on growth\, this session is for you. \nSession Content: \nA new way to look at your business. A simple framework that helps you spot the invisible bottlenecks costing you 5–10 hours a week and a clear sense of which of those AI can actually fix.\nReal examples from real businesses. Not theory or buzzwords. Specific stories from trades\, real estate\, retail\, and professional services including one cautionary tale about what happens when nobody checks the system’s work.\nA live demo you can actually use.\nA four-question audit you can run the next morning. A simple test to identify exactly which tasks in your business are ready to automate this month and which ones aren’t.\nA take-home one-pager. Five high-leverage automations every Cochrane business should have in place by year-end\, plus the audit on the back.\nThe AI search shortcut. Three things every local business can do this month so Claude\, ChatGPT\, Perplexity\, and Google’s AI Overview can find you before your competitor figures it out. \nFees/Admission: \n$20 for Members\n$25 for Non-Members
