Your revenue team is brilliant, but they are trapped in quicksand.
Research shows that high-performing sales and marketing professionals waste nearly 70% of their time on "Admin Drag" - the non-revenue generating tasks like data entry and meeting prep that kill momentum. You are paying for top-tier talent, but you are getting expensive data entry.
Meanwhile, you are facing a "Year of Reckoning." You know you need to adopt AI, but you are stuck in "Pilot Purgatory," worried about the "Shadow AI" risks your team is already creating in the background.
"AI for Revenue Leaders" is your operational blueprint for the Agentic Era.
Hosted by Mike Allton - a Revenue Architect and Director of Partner-led Growth - this show moves beyond futuristic hype to focus on the practical reality of leading high-performance teams. We don't just talk about tools; we help you build the "Digital Crews" that work alongside your humans.
In each episode, we break down:
The Agentic Shift: Moving from simple chatbots to autonomous AI agents.
Sanctioning the Shadow: Turning security risks into competitive advantages through governance.
The Human+AI Hybrid: Automating the "robot work" so your team can double down on trust, empathy, and closing deals.
Stop guessing. Start architecting.

Your Business Isn’t Stuck, You Are. Here is the AI Fix.
You can’t build a scalable business on a broken operating system. Yet, that is exactly what most solopreneurs try to do. You journal, you meditate, and you "grind," but you keep hitting the same revenue ceilings and making the same fear-based decisions.
The problem isn't your effort. The problem is the Hero Complex hardwired into your subconscious, convincing you that you have to do it all to be worthy. You are experiencing "bugs" in your decision-making software that no amount of willpower can patch.
Today, I’m joined by Heather Morgan, a former FinTech leader turned Growth Mindset Mentor who has engineered a different approach. She isn't here to just talk about feelings; she’s the creator of "Breaking the Loop," an AI-powered system that acts as an objective, emotional mirror. Because AI lacks human bias and emotional charge, it can reflect your blind spots with brutal, necessary accuracy.
In this episode, we architect a way to bypass your conscious mind’s defenses and finally identify the hidden loops keeping your business small.
The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Heather Morgan about:
✨ The "User Error" Trap: Why traditional self-reflection is biased and actually reinforces the patterns keeping you stuck.
✨ The AI Mirror Protocol: How to use artificial intelligence to bypass your ego and identify the data behind your emotional loops.
✨ Systemizing Your Breakthrough: Heather’s specific methodology for training your nervous system to accept success and stop the self-sabotage cycle.
