Description:
In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle Podcast, host Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Michael Whitehouse, author of A Guy Who Knows a Guy and an “extrovert for hire,” to break down how roofers and home repair contractors can actually use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity without getting overwhelmed.
Michael explains why most trades business owners feel behind when it comes to technology, and why that feeling is completely normal in a world where tools and algorithms change faster than ever. Instead of chasing every new platform, Michael shares how roofers can use AI as a tireless assistant to research marketing options, understand Google Business Profile, evaluate tools, stay ahead of regulations, and make smarter business decisions.
