A practical guide for leaders without a technical background who need to make AI decisions for their teams. Jon walks through the ten systems he runs inside his own Chick-fil-A, the failures along the way, and the framework for picking which workflow to automate first. Built for executives, operators, and senior managers leading AI adoption without a technical team to lean on.

AI is eating the busywork managers used to claim was their value. It exposes who was leading and who was gatekeeping. Jon's framework for how AI redistributes operator, manager, and leader work, why your middle layer is about to be very confused, and the five concrete steps to coach managers into leadership before AI does it for you. Built for senior leadership, mid-managers, and HR teams designing leadership development.

A talk about what happens after you hit the metrics. Jon's path from West Point to federal work to walking away from a high-status job to operate a restaurant is the case study. The framework: how to choose work that compounds over a lifetime instead of impressing for a quarter. Built for leadership audiences, sales conferences, recognition events, and faith-aligned organizations.
