Brunch & Learn: AI Can Run Your Business. It Can't Build Your Network. (July 08, 2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 15:00:00 GMT

BRUNCH & LEARN

July 8, 10am-12pm

9706 Plymouth Rd, SA, TX 78216

Speakers: Christine Brinkman - Babes Support Babes

Title: AI Can Run Your Business. It Can't Build Your Network. Why Your Network Is Still Your Greatest Competitive Advantage.

In a world where AI can write your emails, build your funnels, and automate your strategy, what's the one thing it still can't do? Show up for you.

This session is for women who have scaled their businesses and know that success is rarely built alone. Speaker and community builder Christine Brinkman brings 8+ years of lived experience growing meaningful business communities to share a timely, powerful framework for why in-person connection and trusted networks matter more — not less — in the age of AI.

Using her original ROOTS Method™, Christine will show exactly how your community compounds over time to create opportunities, credibility, accountability, and the resilience needed to stay in the game for the long haul.

Key Takeaways:

• A clear framework (The ROOTS Method™) to evaluate and strengthen their current network

• A fresh perspective on why AI makes community more valuable, not less

• One specific, actionable next step to deepen their highest-leverage relationship

• A renewed conviction that in-person connection is a business strategy, not a luxury

The AI Advantage:

How Smart Business Owners are

Getting Found and Getting Time Back

AI isn't coming. It's already here, and it's already making decisions about your business without you in the room.

In this session, Dawn Richardson breaks down the two biggest ways AI is reshaping the landscape for small business owners right now: how customers find you, and how you get your time back. You'll learn why AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Claude are becoming the new Google and what it takes to show up when they recommend businesses like yours. Then Dawn pulls back the curtain on what's actually possible when AI runs parts of your business for you, including a live demonstration of a real AI briefing system she built herself. No coding, no technical background required.

This isn't a talk about ChatGPT tips or writing captions faster. This is about understanding the shift that's already happening and positioning yourself to win on both sides of it. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's possible, why it matters right now, and three things you can do Monday morning to get started, even if technology has never been your thing.

We’d love to have you join us for an energizing NAWBO SA event where women business owners come together to learn, connect, and grow. Whether it’s your first time attending or you’re a long-time member, you’ll find a welcoming space, real conversations, and practical insights you can take back to your business. And yes—your registration includes a delicious meal!

3 Takeaways:

1. The way customers find businesses has fundamentally shifted. AI-powered search tools are now recommending specific businesses, and most small business owners have no idea this is happening to them right now.

2. AI has crossed a line most people don't know about yet. It's no longer just answering questions. It's completing tasks, running workflows, and operating as a full team member without being asked twice.

3. You don't need to be technical, hire anyone, or spend thousands. The same tools available for $20/month can act as your inbox manager, researcher, onboarding coordinator, and social media person simultaneously.

What to Expect at All NAWBO Events
✓ A warm, welcoming environment
✓ Friendly registration table + hospitality team to greet you
✓ Featured speaker + insightful programming + NAWBO updates
✓ Wrap-up and open networking with other local businesswomen

Being a business owner can be isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone. At NAWBO, you’ll find women who get it and are excited to grow alongside you. Join us and connect with women who are building, leading, and thriving together

3 Takeaways:

Color communicates before you say a word — learn how to make it work for you.
Style is a tool, not a standard — dressing with intention is about feeling like yourself.
When you feel aligned in how you show up, your presence shifts and the room feels it too.
