In this episode of The OBM Show, we're tackling the question almost every Online Business Manager has quietly asked themselves in the last year:
"Is AI going to affect my job?"
Here's the honest answer: yes, things are changing. But probably not in the way you fear.
Because after more than a decade in the Online Business Management industry, here's what I'm seeing. AI is not coming for your OBM career. It's coming for the low-level execution work that was never where your value lived in the first place. The first-draft SOPs. The meeting summaries. The reporting. The project timelines.
And the OBMs who learn to use AI as a strategic tool, rather than fear it as a threat, are stepping into an incredibly powerful position. Because the businesses they support need them more than ever.
In this episode, we'll talk about:
- the three biggest ways AI is changing the OBM role right now
- how AI-integrated businesses become more complex, and more in need of an OBM
- the categories of AI tools genuinely worth your attention (SOPs, project management, meeting summaries, reporting, and content)
- where over-relying on AI can actually backfire
- the one thing AI will never be able to do, no matter how advanced it gets
- what to do right now to position yourself as a strategic OBM in an AI-driven world
If AI has felt exciting, overwhelming, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you cut through the noise and get clear on where you actually fit in all of it.
Because the OBMs who thrive in this environment are the exact same OBMs who have always thrived. The only difference now is that the tools in their toolkit just got dramatically more powerful.
