What if the reason your service business isn’t scaling… is because you’re selling skills instead of insight?

In this powerful “She Built This” episode, Dawn Andrews breaks down how Inez Kaiser, America’s first Black woman to found a PR agency built a service business that attracted Fortune 500 clients without a blueprint, permission, or precedent.

But this isn’t a history lesson it’s a strategic wake-up call. You’ll learn the three-part service model Kaiser engineered that made her the obvious choice (not the risky one), and how to apply it to your business today using AI as your thinking partner.

If you’ve been relying on referrals, reputation, and “being really good at what you do”… this episode will show you why that’s not enough and what to do instead.

If you’re ready to stop being the best-kept secret in your industry and start building a service model that actually scales, join the free AI for Founders community on LinkedIn.

Key Takeaways

• Your niche isn’t your industry it’s your lived insight.
• Trust isn’t a vibe, it’s a system.
• Scaling happens when you build access, not just deliverables.
• If you’re still trading time for money, you’re missing the model.
• AI isn’t the answer but it’s a damn good mirror.
