You Don’t Need More Tools. You Need the Right Ones How to Build Your Custom AI Tool Stack (+ What’s in Mine)

Nova Sinclaire

Alright y'all, so last time, we called it out—straight up, no chaser. Your AI tool stack? Yeah, most of it? Ain’t even working.

Nova Sinclaire

You’ve got flashy tools, sure. They look great on that Instagram reel. But are they really pulling their weight?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

because the real question isn’t how trendy or high-tech your stack looks; it’s about efficiency and impact. Is it solving your bottlenecks? Is it actually moving the needle in your business?

Nova Sinclaire

And let’s be real—so many people out here are just collecting tools like they’re Pokémon. But tools don’t make progress unless they’ve got a purpose, right?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yep, that’s what we unpacked last time. We talked about leading with function over form, choosing tools that directly address your business’s needs, not just the flavor of the week.

Nova Sinclaire

Because, listen, no one wins the "Most Tools in a Stack" award, okay?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

That's funny. It’s not about volume; it’s about alignment. Your stack should integrate seamlessly into your workflows, and every tool should play an intentional role. Otherwise, it’s clutter, not strategy.

Nova Sinclaire

Clutter! That’s the word. And clutter is a straight-up business killer. I mean, if your tools aren’t solving problems, they’re just adding noise.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yes, and that’s a crucial realization. Because without that clarity, you’re not just burning money—you’re burning time and opportunity.

Nova Sinclaire

Clutter, clutter, clutter—it's the buzzword that should make us pause. So why are people still drowning their businesses in it? Let’s call it what it is: tool hoarding. Buying shiny apps like they're business cure-alls when really? It’s panic shopping fueled by fear.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yes, fear of missing out, fear of falling behind, fear that if they don’t have the latest buzzworthy tool, their competition will leave them in the dust. And it’s understandable— sometimes it's not even your fault. These app dev companies keep pumping out app after app, after app and everyone wants to test them out. Take Manus for example. They debuted 2 months ago and have already introduced 5 major new upgrades. Every time a new upgrade drops, people just have to get the tool...

Nova Sinclaire

Mm-hmm, but it’s not smart.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Right, it’s not strategic. Look, I see it all the time—business owners who buy first and plan later. But here’s the problem: without clarity on your specific bottlenecks, those tools just become distractions.

Nova Sinclaire

Like, it’s wild. You’re out here thinking, “Oh, this CRM is gonna transform my sales process,” but you’ve barely got leads to organize in the first place. Start with the bottleneck, not the wishlist.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Focus on the core problems you need to solve right now. Ask yourself: What’s the pain point? Where is the workflow breaking down? Then, and only then, look for solutions that directly address those challenges.

Nova Sinclaire

Look, y’all, tools with no purpose are just... I don’t know, placeholders? You’re draining your bank account, your focus, and your bandwidth for no reason.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And here’s something else—it’s not about how cool or cutting-edge the tools are. It’s about function. If it doesn’t integrate seamlessly into your current workflow or actually make your life easier, it’s just added chaos.

Nova Sinclaire

Right! You’re just layering noise on top of noise. Stop the madness!

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And that’s the trap. Instead of empowering you, this fear-driven buying cycle drains your resources and leaves you with a stack that’s bloated and inefficient.

Nova Sinclaire

So what’s the fix? We’re gonna tell y’all, but first, let’s talk about these curated carousels and all those influencer toolkits that’ve got y’all fooled.

Nova Sinclaire

let’s keep it real—those curated carousels and influencer toolkits? They’re just marketing traps. Don’t get played by the gram or Tiktok or Youtube.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Maaaannn listen, because those curated visuals and flashy carousels? They’re really designed to grab attention, not necessarily deliver results.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Y’all ever notice how everybody’s “perfect stack” looks hella cute online? But let’s be honest—how much of it is even being used consistently?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Not much. And here’s the thing—the aesthetic appeal of a stack doesn’t correlate with its practicality. A well-chosen three-tool system will outpace a chaotic ten-tool lineup every time.

Nova Sinclaire

Boom. Less is more, y’all. Especially when less is working overtime and actually doing the job.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

the real power of your tool stack isn’t in its size or its trendiness; it’s in how well it integrates into your workflows and supports your operations.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And let me just say this—you’ve got influencers out here showing off rows of apps, claiming it’s why they’re successful. But ask them how much they’re actually using—or better yet, ask if all their employees even know how to use ’em. What you're probably looking at is a money grab using affiliate links.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

It’s about consistent usage, training, and alignment with the business’s objectives. If a tool just sits idle on your dashboard, it’s not an investment; it’s a sunk cost.

Nova Sinclaire

A waste of money. Period. And listen, y’all, I’m not saying don’t flex your tools... but make sure they’re earning their spot in the lineup, not just looking good in a screenshot. every tool in your arsenal should bring an ROI, plain and simple.

Nova Sinclaire

The true measure of effectiveness is in the results, not the aesthetics. And that starts with knowing your needs—what’s slow, repetitive, or falling through the cracks.

Nova Sinclaire

so let’s talk fixes. You wanna make your tool stack work for you? Start by looking for those cracks—what’s slowing you down, what’s repetitive, and what’s making you wanna throw your laptop out the window?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Because identifying those bottlenecks is the foundation for building a strategic stack. Let’s talk specifics—look at your workflows and ask yourself: Where are the delays? Where are things getting stuck or duplicated unnecessarily?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And don’t forget the human side of it! Ask your team, “What’s making you avoid this software like the plague?” Nine times outta ten, the answer’ll show you where the bottleneck lives.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And sometimes, the issue isn’t the tool itself—it’s the process around it. Maybe you don’t have automation set up properly, or the tool isn’t configured to match your workflow.

Nova Sinclaire

Or worse—it’s that tool that everybody thought was gonna save the day, but now it’s just sitting there, chillin’ on your dashboard, collecting dust.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

That’s why you need to think critically here. Don’t just blame the software. Look deeper. Where are your team members running into roadblocks? What processes feel clunky or inefficient?

Nova Sinclaire

And this next part? It’s super important. Stop tolerating pain points. If something’s making your life—or your team’s life—harder, you gotta address it. Period.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yes, because productivity loss doesn’t happen overnight. It’s subtle. It builds slowly over weeks and months. But when you eliminate those bottlenecks, you’ll see dramatic improvements in efficiency, automation, and team morale.

Nova Sinclaire

Oh, absolutely. Y’all, listen, you don’t need a bigger tool stack. You need tools that actually fix what’s breaking down. Find the bottlenecks first, and then go hunting for the solution, not the other way around.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And that’s the mindset shift. Focus on solving problems, not stacking tools. Because, like we’ve said, more features don’t mean a better tool.

Nova Sinclaire

So, building on that mindset shift we just talked about—lemme say this for those in the back: the number of features doesn’t mean jack if they’re not the ones tackling your actual bottlenecks.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

A tool could promise a hundred different functionalities, but if you’re only using two of them because the others don’t align with your processes, then it’s not serving your business. It’s just overcomplicating things.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And y’all know the type of tool I’m talkin’ about. It does fifteen things, none of them well, and now you’re stuck trying to troubleshoot stuff you didn’t even ask for in the first place.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

—it’s function over features every time... --- Ask yourself: Does this tool solve the problem I’m trying to fix? Can it integrate smoothly with what I already use? If the answer’s no, that’s a huge red flag.

Nova Sinclaire

Oh, and don’t even get me started on those tools that launch with a shiny new feature every three months, just to stay relevant. It’s a distraction, y’all, not an evolution.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yes, because innovation should enhance usability, not complicate it. Features for the sake of marketing hype? Not helpful. What matters is whether the tool increases your efficiency, simplifies workflows, or frees up your time.

Nova Sinclaire

Period. If it’s not making your processes smoother, it’s honestly just clogging the system. Like, who needs a tool that can write code in sixteen languages if all you’re doing is turning in client reports?

Nova Sinclaire

The obsession with feature-packed tools often blinds people to simpler, more effective options. Sometimes, a basic, well-integrated tool that does one thing exceptionally well is all your team needs.

Nova Sinclaire

Simplify, simplify, simplify. Y’all don’t need a Swiss Army knife if all you’re trying to do is cut one clean line. Pick the tool that matches the job.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Exactly. Because ultimately, it’s not about what the tool is capable of—it’s about how well it serves your unique goals and challenges. Features are only valuable if they align with your objectives.

Nova Sinclaire

Right! So here’s the takeaway: stop being impressed by fancy feature lists. Ask yourself—does this tool actually make my life easier? 'Cause if it doesn’t... well then.... ditch it!

Nova Sinclaire

so we’ve been talking about picking the right tools for the job—tools that truly solve your problems and don’t just offer fluff. Now, let’s apply that to content creation and repurposing, 'cause this is where the magic happens, y’all. But seriously, the wrong tools can turn that magic into a headache real quick. So let’s break it down...

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Otherwise, you’re spinning your wheels. Content creation tools should streamline your process, not make you work harder. The goal is to create assets once and repurpose them effectively across multiple platforms.

Nova Sinclaire

Yeah, like, don’t be out here redoing work you’ve already done! That’s just—no, we’re not doing that in 2025. Period.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And this is where tools like Descript or Canva come in handy. Descript, for example, can transcribe your audio, let you edit it like a text document, and even create video clips—all in one platform.

Nova Sinclaire

Wait, say that again. One platform? Clip editing, transcribing, AND visuals? Whew, that’s a game-changer.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

It is. And Canva? It’s perfect for repurposing—you can take a single design and adapt it for Instagram posts, Facebook banners, email headers, you name it. Repurposing should be effortless with the right tools.

Nova Sinclaire

Mmm, but here’s the thing—you’ve gotta actually use those templates. If you’re going in and designing from scratch every time, you’re playing yourself! Pre-made and customizable—that’s the way.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Absolutely. And we haven’t even talked about automation tools yet—like Zapier or Integromat or N 8 N or Make —to keep the content ecosystem flowing. These allow your platforms to talk to each other seamlessly, saving hours of manual work.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

and let’s not forget scheduling tools! Y’all, if you’re still posting to socials one by one in real-time—with your phone in hand—I gotta ask, why? Stop doing that to yourself.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

batch your content and schedule it. Tools like RainMaker Suite or Hootsuite enable you to plan weeks of posts in advance. This frees you up to focus on what truly matters—strategy and growth.

Nova Sinclaire

Right! 'Cause if you’re stuck on the day-to-day, how are you supposed to scale? You’re basically holding yourself hostage with busy work.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And here’s the key—invest in learning the full capabilities of these tools. Most people barely scratch the surface of what their software can do.

Nova Sinclaire

Oh, and we’re definitely gonna get into that next, 'cause if I hear one more person say “Oh, I didn’t know it could do that,”... Come on, y’all.

Nova Sinclaire

So like I was saying, if you’re not diving deep and using at least 80% of what a tool can do, why even have it? I mean, for real, what are we doing here?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Underutilized tools don’t just take up space—they drain resources. Time, money, energy—they’re all being wasted if you’re not leveraging the full functionality of what you’ve invested in.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And let’s not forget frustration! Like, how many times have y’all said, “Oh, this tool doesn’t work,” but you barely even know how to use it? Be honest.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

this is why I always emphasize training and onboarding. Your tool stack should feel like an extension of your operations, not a foreign object you’re trying to decode every time you log in. Onboarding for my RainMaker Suite is hands on, 1 on 1 and we offer live HUMAN tech support after that.

Nova Sinclaire

Facts! And don’t even get me started on skipping the tutorials. Like, come on—how are you gonna skip the part where you learn how to use the thing you just paid for?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And here’s what happens—the less you use the tool, the more you resent it. You blame the software for not delivering results when, in reality, it’s the lack of proper utilization that’s holding you back.

Nova Sinclaire

Mm-hmm. And y’all know that one person who’ll be like, “Well, it’s too complicated.” Okay, but did you even try the help center? Did you Google it? Or are you just out here winging it?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

The issue often isn’t complexity—it’s neglect. Tools are designed with specific use cases and workflows in mind. When you don’t take the time to understand them, you’re essentially paying for functionality you’ll never use.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

let’s keep it real—if you’re not using at least 80%, that tool is dead weight. It’s just sitting there, taking up your mental and financial bandwidth for no reason.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

This is why it’s crucial to audit your tools regularly. Which features are you using? Which ones are being ignored? And more importantly, why?

Nova Sinclaire

Ooh, that’s the question right there—why? 'Cause nine times outta ten, it’s either a training issue or...

Nova Sinclaire

So let’s talk about that training issue—or lack thereof—because here’s the truth bomb: some of y’all are out here running stacks where half the tools are basically fighting each other for the same job.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Overlapping tools often create confusion, inefficiency, and unnecessary costs. It’s like having two people steering the same wheel—it’s counterproductive.

Nova Sinclaire

it’s worse than counterproductive—it’s chaotic! Imagine having three tools that all claim to “streamline communication,” but instead, you’re juggling Slack, Teams, and WhatsApp like it’s some tech circus.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

and what ends up happening is that instead of streamlining communication, you’re fracturing it. Messages get lost between platforms, processes get duplicated, and frustration builds.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

think about it—are all those tools even getting used? Like, really used? Or are they just sitting there, looking fancy while creating more steps in your workflows?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

here’s the key: redundancy in tools often stems from poor planning in the decision-making process. People don’t assess functionality or integration before buying, so they end up with overlapping capabilities.

Nova Sinclaire

Right. Like, “Oh, let’s get Trello, Asana, and Monday.com!” But why? Are you using all three to manage the same projects, or are tools just multiplying faster than your tasks?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

It’s a common trap. And let’s be clear—there’s rarely a need for overlapping functionality. If two tools do the same thing, pick one and make sure it fits seamlessly into your overarching strategy.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

listen, y’all—one tool done right beats five tools barely working any day. So, start asking yourself: “Is this streamlining my process, or is it just taking up space?”

Dr. Kim Professional Read

overlapping tools don’t just waste money—they waste time. Time spent switching between platforms, duplicating data entries, or troubleshooting integration issues is time stolen from productive work.

Nova Sinclaire

And let me add this—if your team can’t even figure out which tool to log into first, guess what? Your stack has become part of the problem, not the solution.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Yes. You need clarity... efficiency... and alignment in every piece of your tech ecosystem. Without that, overlapping tools create bottlenecks instead of removing them.

Nova Sinclaire

Mm-hmm. And we’re about to get into the real question: does your stack actually make things easier, or...

Nova Sinclaire

...does it actually reduce friction, or does it just... feel like it might? Let’s dig into that.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

that’s the right place to start. Ask yourself: Does it make the process smoother? Does it eliminate repetitive tasks or excessive manual effort?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

If it’s not cutting down on something annoying—or sorry, borderline painful—then why’s it even on the table?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

A good tool should feel like it’s removing barriers, not adding more steps. And while you’re at it, look beyond the immediate “cool factor.” Is it saving you time in a measurable way?

Nova Sinclaire

'Cause let’s be real—y’all don’t need “cool.” You need results! Saving five hours a week? Now THAT’S cool.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Absolutely. And it’s not just about time either. Results matter. Is this tool improving your outcomes? Are the tasks getting done faster? Is the quality higher?

Nova Sinclaire

Or—and I gotta say this—is it just making things look busy for the sake of looking busy? 'Cause some of y’all are masters at that. No shade, just facts.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

It’s true. And here’s the thing—when you evaluate tools through the lens of friction, time, and results, it’s easier to identify which ones are worth the investment and which ones are just distractions.

Nova Sinclaire

Right! So next time you’re looking at that shiny new platform promising you the world? Stop and ask three questions: Does it reduce friction? Save time? Improve results?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And if the answer to any of those is “no” or even “I’m not sure...” then you know what you need to do.

Nova Sinclaire

Alright, y’all, we’ve been breaking down how to spot tools that reduce friction, save time, and improve results. Now let me ask this—what kind of tools does someone like Dr. Kim keep in their bag?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

That’s right, it’s time to open up the vault. These are my go-to tools—the ones pulling their weight every single day in my business.

Nova Sinclaire

Ooooh, the VIP list. Spill it, Doc—what we working with?

Dr. Kim Professional Read

First up, my RainMaker Suite, which is a CRM, sales and marketing automation powerhouse that streamlines my entire client management process—from onboarding to email campaigns. You can also offer free and paid classes, coaching sessions, private communities and so much more

Nova Sinclaire

Oh wow, the RainMaker Suite sounds like a serious game-changer. That’s not just automation — that’s infrastructure. I love that it handles everything from client onboarding to email campaigns and offers built-in ways to monetize through classes and communities. That kind of centralization? It’s exactly what most business owners are missing.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Absolutely. Then there’s Canva—it’s my design wizard. From social media graphics to client proposals, it gives me professional-level results without having to hire a full-time designer.

Nova Sinclaire

Listen, y’all, if Canva’s not in your stack yet, what are you even doing? It’s basically the MVP of visual branding.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Now let me walk you through the rest of my AI stack — because honestly, it’s simple, strategic, and built to run lean.I’m not out here using 30 different platforms. I’ve curated the tools that actually move the needle in my business — and nothing else. So here’s what I use, and why:

Dr. Kim Professional Read

First up, my customized ChatGPT.This isn’t just the off-the-shelf version — I’ve trained it to think and talk in my brand voice, using my frameworks, my tone, and even my language patterns. It acts like a digital business brain — helping me write content, brainstorm strategy, and even run parts of my backend operations. It’s like having an executive assistant that never sleeps.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Now let me talk about Manus — because this one right here? Manus is not just an AI writing tool. It’s an AI agent. And yes, there’s a difference. Manus doesn’t just sit around waiting for prompts like ChatGPT. No — it goes out onto the internet and does my bidding like a digital research assistant with no attitude and no lunch breaks. I tell Manus what I need — whether it’s a deep dive on a topic, a comparative analysis, or pulling together a research-backed argument — and it goes out, combs through real-time sources, reads the articles, synthesizes the information, and brings it back to me in a clean, intelligent format. I use Manus to draft book chapters, build detailed blog posts, prep for keynotes, and even analyze competitive trends. It doesn’t just generate content — it performs complex operations that would take a human assistant days to do. And it does it in minutes. This ain’t no basic prompt-based system. Manus is like having a junior consultant, a research assistant, and a ghostwriter all rolled into one — working 24/7 to support the strategic side of my business. So yeah — Manus is definitely in the stack. And it earns its spot every single time.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Then there’s Hedra. and this one is low-key magical. Hedra is my AI-powered graphics and animation tool, and let me tell you, it’s not just about pretty pictures. This thing is a creative beast. It generates branded graphics, yes — but it also creates gorgeous animations and visual assets that feel high-end without me having to hire a motion designer or spend hours in editing software. And you know those adorable, animated talking baby videos you’ve seen floating around the internet? Hedra is the engine behind a lot of that. It brings characters to life, syncs voice to animation, and makes content move — literally. I use it for: Creating animated promos Social media visuals that stop the scroll Branded storytelling with movement and flair And sometimes… just for the joy of seeing my creative vision animated with zero stressIt’s the kind of tool that brings a wow factor to your brand without needing a production crew. For me, Hedra is my creative director + animator in one — and it’s absolutely staying in the stack.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

HeyGen is next.I use HeyGen to generate AI-powered videos of myself — or my AI clone — so I can be in multiple places at once without actually showing up. I even create entire training classes with it. It’s how I create scalable, on-brand video content for courses, social media, and client onboarding — and yes, the lips sync with my voice!

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Suno is for music creation.I use it to generate background tracks and branded audio clips for podcasts, promos, and course intros. It helps me maintain a unique, polished vibe without licensing someone else’s music every time.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

ElevenLabs is my go-to for voice cloning.With ElevenLabs, I’ve created AI versions of my voice that I can use to narrate videos, podcasts, and even audiobooks — all without having to sit in front of a mic. It’s like creating a vocal twin that can speak anytime, anywhere, on brand.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

And finally, Runway.This is my secret weapon for video editing, motion graphics, and visual storytelling. I use it to level up everything from reels to brand videos to cinematic content — and the AI tools inside are powerful. I can remove backgrounds, add effects, and even generate visuals that match my scripts. It’s next-level content creation.

Nova Sinclaire

Whew—okay, that’s not just a stack… that’s a system. And a smart one at that. What I love is how intentional it is — every tool has a job, no overlap, no wasted motion. You’ve covered every major business function without the bloat. Customized ChatGPT gives you brand-aligned consistency and strategic thinking. Manus isn’t just structuring content — it’s your research agent, pulling insights and building intelligent long-form assets. Hedra? Oh, Hedra is your creative director and animator. It’s not just doing graphics — it’s generating stunning visuals, animations, and even powering those adorable, talking AI baby videos. That’s next-level content that moves — literally. HeyGen and ElevenLabs let you show up on video and in voice without ever pressing “record.”And Runway and Suno bring the cinematic and audio magic that gives your brand polish and presence. What you’ve built is more than a tool stack — it’s a brand-aligned presence engine. Everything works together. Everything supports the bigger vision. This is what more entrepreneurs need to see: it’s not about collecting tools — it’s about building infrastructure that works with you, not against you. That’s high-level CEO energy — executed with precision. I’m obsessed.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

So when it comes to automation, I’ve got that locked down with two tools: Make and my RainMaker Suite. RainMaker handles all the internal automation around my sales, marketing, and client journey — from lead capture and nurturing, to appointment scheduling and follow-ups. It’s the command center for how I bring people into the business and keep them engaged. But when I need more flexibility — like connecting different tools, triggering custom workflows, or setting up advanced backend logic — I use Make. It gives me the power to design exactly how I want things to move behind the scenes. And the best part? I’m not stuck inside rigid templates. I build automations that fit me. Now, for content repurposing — especially with video and audio — I bring in Descript. I don’t use it every day, but when I do, it’s a powerhouse. I can take a long-form video and slice it into multiple clips, pull quotes for social, generate transcripts, or even strip out audio for podcast snippets. It’s like having a little content studio in my back pocket. So between RainMaker, Make, and Descript, I’ve got automation, operations, and content execution running like a well-oiled machine. And that’s what I want y’all to understand — it’s not about stacking more tools. It’s about picking the ones that actually work for your business, and making them work together. That’s how you scale without chaos.

Nova Sinclaire

See, this is what I love about your approach — it’s not just about having tools, it’s about engineering a system that fits your business like a glove. RainMaker handles the heavy lifting on the front end — nurturing leads, managing clients, automating the customer journey. Then Make picks up the baton with backend flexibility, letting you connect and customize literally everything. That’s what real operational power looks like. And bringing in Descript for content repurposing? That’s a masterstroke. So many business owners are sitting on gold — hours of video, podcast clips, interviews — and they’re not maximizing any of it. You’ve turned content into a multi-channel asset that keeps working long after it's created. What you’ve built isn’t just a stack — it’s an ecosystem. Everything has a purpose, everything flows, and nothing’s doing extra just to look impressive. That’s what makes it sustainable. That’s what makes it scale.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

That’s the full stack. Clean. Intentional. No extra fluff. Every tool has a role. Every tool earns its place. Because in my business, if the tool doesn’t serve a clear function — it doesn’t stay in the stack.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

none of these tools are just sitting in my stack for show. They’re all solving very specific challenges in my business. They integrate, they automate, and they boost my efficiency, which ultimately drives results.

Nova Sinclaire

Y’all hear that? Integration, automation, and results. That’s the holy trinity right there.

Dr. Kim Professional Read

It really is. So, here’s my challenge for anyone listening—take a hard look at your stack. Are your tools delivering results, or are they just taking up space? Be critical, be intentional, and don’t be afraid to let go of what’s not serving you.

Nova Sinclaire

Yes! It’s 2025—time to level up, not clutter up. Audit that stack, y’all.

Nova Sinclaire

that’s a wrap for this episode. We broke it all the way down today: how to build a custom AI tool stack that actually fits your business, what to look for when choosing tools, how to use the 80% Rule to maximize your ROI, and why less but smarter is the new power play. You even got the inside look at Dr Kim's personal stack — what’s in, what’s out, and what’s earning its keep every day inside my business. But our next episode? We’re flipping the script!

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Most definitely flipping the script. In our next episode, we’re heading into territory most people think AI can’t touch — service-based and blue-collar industries. I’m talking hairstylists, contractors, personal chefs, massage therapists, organizers — the folks who work with their hands and run their businesses from the ground up. We’re diving into real tools and real workflows that are helping these entrepreneurs automate, scale, and simplify their day-to-day — even if they’ve never touched a tech stack before. If you’ve ever said, “AI? That’s not for my kind of business, the next episode is going to blow your mind. Until then, stay focused, stay sharp, and remember — you don’t need more tools. You just need the right ones.

Nova Sinclaire

Absolutely. So, to everyone listening—keep, kill, or upgrade. That’s your homework. And remember, it’s not about having the most tools, it’s about having the right ones. With that, we’re out!

Dr. Kim Professional Read

Take care, everyone. And we’ll see you next time on The AI Powered Entrepreneur.
