Buckle up, Quad Cities entrepreneurs — the nerds are back!
In this lively episode of The Collective Cast, host Lizzy McNett teams up with Bree Hinkel from the Better Business Bureau and tech/security wizard Niles Benghauser for a spirited, laugh-out-loud conversation about Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, and the tools that can actually help (or hurt) your small business.
From “Is AI going to take my job or supercharge it?” to practical ways to use AI for content, customer service, and operations — plus real talk on staying safe from scams and cyber threats — this trio keeps it real, relatable, and refreshingly honest. No tech overload, just actionable insights with a healthy dose of humor and Northern Arizona straight talk.
You’ll walk away excited to experiment with AI tools that fit your business, smarter about protecting what you’ve built, and inspired to lead with confidence in a rapidly changing digital world.
Whether you’re an AI-curious newbie or already dabbling, this episode is packed with “aha!” moments tailored for Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt business owners who want technology to work for them — not the other way around.
