Upgrade Today, Lead The Future!

R. Kenner French opens the conversation with a strong warning to business owners: if they ignore AI, their business could “die.” He explains that many people think they “kind of” use AI, but very few truly implement it deeply into their operations. At VastSolutionsGroup.com, their mission is to help entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and professionals actually deploy AI in practical ways—especially through their webinar and funnel platform, VastCast. To support this, he introduces Ben Polley, their in-house AI specialist, who helps business owners bring AI into real workflows.

Ben emphasizes that AI is evolving extremely fast and that what we see today will look very different in a year. Because of this, staying “up to date” is no longer optional—it’s survival. He explains that AI is now a core component of business competitiveness, even if companies don’t openly admit how much they rely on it. Using VastCast as an example, Ben describes how businesses can use AI not just to host webinars, but also to inform, nurture, and support customers automatically—answering questions and providing information without the business owner needing to be present live.

Both Kenner and Ben highlight how AI changes the old rules around expertise and education. In the past, you needed formal degrees and years of experience to create value. Today, knowing how to ask the right questions to AI and how to implement the answers can be just as powerful. Ben admits he knows how to code, but says he now lets AI write and automate most of the work. The real skill, they argue, is no longer memorizing knowledge, but having a clear vision and the ability to direct AI toward that vision.

They then tie this into specific business use cases, especially in real estate and professional services. With AI, you can automate lead funnels, rank which clients are most promising, streamline paperwork and deal flow, and even handle onboarding of new clients—turning a manual, slow process into an efficient, scalable system. AI can also support social media content, build business plans, draft books or educational products, and respond to client questions automatically using intent detection and smart replies. The message: you can massively increase speed and capacity if you let AI handle repetitive and process-driven tasks.

Toward the end, Kenner tells the backstory of their own AI journey. Years ago they created an AI solution called “Einstein” to help reduce tax liabilities and support retirement planning for entrepreneurs and real estate investors. When OpenAI exploded onto the scene, it disrupted their lead—but also pushed them to evolve. That evolution led to VastCast: a system that automates webinars, funnels, follow-up, and even delivery of services using AI. Now they offer that same automation approach to other business owners. They close by inviting people to contact VastSolutionsGroup.com, call their office, or ask specifically for Ben if they want help implementing AI—stressing that the only real limit with AI is the limit of your own imagination and willingness to use it.
