I hit the @renderatl stage to break down how non-technical founders can use AI to build smarter marketing and sales funnels.

Not just asking AI to write a caption or an email. I’m talking about prompting the entire funnel: understanding your customer, crafting the offer, creating content, capturing leads, nurturing prospects, and moving them toward conversion.

The founders who learn how to prompt AI strategically won’t just create faster. They’ll build systems that allow them to sell and market at a level that once required an entire team.

AI is the tool. Your ability to think, prompt, and build the right system is the advantage.

Grateful to RenderATL for giving me the stage to share what I’ve learned from building, testing, and coaching founders through this new era of business.

I didn't plan any of this.

One chapter led to the next.

Before I knew it, I had lived five different lives in one career.

Each room felt like a detour.

Looking back, every single one prepared me for the next.

That's what I've learned about building something that lasts.

It rarely looks the way you planned.

But when you keep showing up, the dots connect.
History repeats itself.

Greatness is in my DNA.

And on April 15th, @pinkycole and I are sharing everything those rooms taught us.

This season brought me back home to the Bay Area, and I couldn’t be happier. 🌉❤️

Atlanta was my finding Jesus season. A season of surrender, transformation, and becoming.

Now I’m stepping into my building wealth season.

New city. New chapter. Same God. Bigger assignment.

@renderatl 2026 🎤

This week I took the stage to break down something I’ve learned after years of building companies, advising founders, and working across the startup ecosystem:

Hustle can get you started. Systems help you scale.

My talk, From Hustle to Systems: How Non-Technical Founders Can Use AI to Build Marketing & Sales Funnels, was about giving founders a practical framework for using AI to build the infrastructure behind growth.

We walked through the entire marketing and sales funnel, from attracting the right audience to capturing leads, nurturing relationships, converting customers, and creating systems that continue working without the founder manually pushing every button.

The biggest takeaway: You do not need to be technical to build sophisticated systems anymore.

AI has fundamentally changed what a founder can build, automate, and execute without an engineering team.

Thank you RenderATL for the stage and Atlanta for an incredible week of conversations, collisions, and community.

Now it’s time to build.

God will give you the right friends for the season He’s calling you into. 🤍

Friends who pray with you, sharpen you, celebrate you, correct you when needed, and remind you who you are when life gets loud.

Not every connection is meant to go where God is taking you. Pay attention to the people who bring you closer to purpose, not further from it.

The right friendships are a blessing @msselenahill 🙏🏾

@testifyandpitch was a reminder of just how faithful God has been throughout my journey.

For years, I built based on what I thought success was supposed to look like. Today, I build differently. I only build with God at the center of everything. Every decision. Every opportunity. Every business. Every next step.

Thank you, Laneisha Roberts, for creating a space where we could openly talk about faith, business, purpose, and the testimonies behind what we’re building. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to share mine.

I don’t know everything God has planned for me, but I know I don’t want to build anything He isn’t in.

If you’re an entrepreneur who wants to build with God at the center of your business, comment BUILD and I’ll send you the link to join Faith-Based Business School. ✝️

Had to forfeit Invest Fest today to hang out with my techies for Atlanta Tech Week, and it was absolutely worth it. 🤓🔥

Caught up with my friend Emily Dinu, Founder & Managing Partner of Numinous Capital, an Atlanta-based venture firm investing in early-stage deep tech, hard tech, and life sciences. She’s doing some incredible work around strengthening the investor ecosystem in the Southeast and backing founders building the technologies and industries of the future.

Tons of great conversations, new connections, and a lot of fun.

Catch me tomorrow on Breakout Stage 4, Floor 4 at 3:15 PM!

I’m breaking down the entire sales and marketing funnel and showing non-technical founders how to use AI to build and automate it.

From Hustle to Systems: How Non-Technical Founders Can Use AI to Build Marketing & Sales Funnels

Most founders hit a ceiling, not because their product isn’t good, but because they’re still running their marketing and sales manually.

They’re posting on social media, sending emails without a clear strategy, manually following up with leads, and wondering why revenue plateaus between $100K and $1M.

This session is for founders who built successful businesses through hustle but know they need systems to get to the next level.

I’ll break down how to use AI-powered tools and prompting to:
• Build a complete marketing and sales funnel
• Create a consistent content and lead generation engine
• Automate lead nurturing and follow-up
• Build sales systems that keep working when you’re not
• Do it all without an engineering team or writing a single line of code

This isn’t theory. I’m walking you through the framework and showing you how to actually prompt AI to build these systems as a non-technical founder.

📍 Breakout Stage 4, Floor 4
🗓️ Tomorrow
⏰ 3:15 PM

See you there!

Building a startup isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things in the right order.

Join us as we talk about what actually helps startups grow, including customer acquisition, validating your ideas, generating revenue, prioritizing what matters, and avoiding the mistakes that keep founders stuck.

I’ll also share why, for me personally, building with faith has become just as important as building with strategy. The best businesses aren’t just profitable. They’re built with purpose, integrity, and a commitment to serving people well.

See you live on the @renderatl YouTube stream on July 16 at 5 PM ET!
