How A.I. is Transforming the Acquisition and Operations of Small Businesses

Today’s episode is one that I’ve been hoping to publish for many months now, mostly because there was a very specific person that I wanted to speak with. Substantially all of us are aware of how much A.I. has already changed how we live and how we work. You’re probably also aware – at least vaguely – of how much it will continue to change the way that we live and work over the coming months and years. The process of searching for, acquiring, and operating a small business is no exception to this: Those who don’t know how to leverage the power of A.I. may find themselves quickly falling behind those who do. To help me better understand how A.I. is likely to change acquiring and operating small businesses, I was joined today by Geoff Woods, author of "The AI-Driven Leader", currently one of the fastest growing and best-selling AI books in the world. Prior to writing the book, Geoff was the Chief Growth Officer of Jindal Steel & Power, where he drove market cap growth from $750M to $12B in four years through AI-driven leadership. He also co-founded the training and consulting company behind "The ONE Thing", where he coached and advised companies with annual revenues ranging from $10 million to $60 billion.​​ Link to episode: https://mineolasearchpartners.com/2025/11/13/how-ai-is-transforming-the-acquisition-and-operations-of-small-businesses/
