This episode features a revisit of episode 263, which first aired on March 31, 2026, now enhanced with a fresh introduction recorded in September 2026.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Callan Faulkner about the current landscape of AI and its transformative impact on business operations.

A year prior, AI was perceived merely as an interesting tool. Today, it is evolving into the fundamental framework of business processes. Our discussion delves into how AI agents, automation, and tailor-made systems are supplanting manual tasks, providing significant leverage for entrepreneurs.

We explore the trends that are overhyped, areas where human insight remains crucial, and the ways real estate investors—particularly those focused on land—can leverage AI for a competitive advantage.

If you’re looking to expand your business, reclaim your time, or simply wish to understand the direction of industry trends, this conversation is essential listening.

So, why reintroduce this episode now? This upcoming Monday, September 28, Callan is launching The AI Employee Bootcamp (REtipster Affiliate Link), a series of three live sessions where she will showcase her company’s operations and the AI personnel that assist in these processes.

Anyone who registers through our affiliate link, regardless of the ticket level, will also gain complimentary access to Seth’s Exclusive AI Showcase on Tuesday, October 13. This one-hour live Zoom session will detail the ways I implement AI in my own land business. It’s free, it will be recorded, and I’m offering it as a thank-you for using the REtipster link.

Updates Since the Original Airing

When we first broadcast this conversation in March, many of the tools Callan discussed were still in development. Fast forward six months, and I’ve integrated several of these insights into my own operations, including a parcel research system that generates comprehensive due diligence reports from simply a county name and parcel number. This innovation was inspired by our earlier discussion, which is precisely why I wanted to highlight it again.

The recording provided is the September 2026 reedited version, featuring a new introduction that contextualizes these advancements. Several updates from the spring—such as the growth in AI personnel within Callan’s company—are addressed in this intro, and the transcript below reflects the latest version.
