Bizhaps Podcast created by Ana Gonzalez. Running out of gas in the rain with Richard Blank. An inspiring story about pushing his car in the rain with a client, which turned into a memorable bonding experience. The conversation highlights the importance of vulnerability, human connections in business, and the dedication to overcoming challenges. Richard also discusses his business and the unique opportunities in Costa Rica. The time when I turned misfortune into a memorable moment with Richard Blank Ana Gonzalez Ana helps businesses multiply their productivity by automating their sales and support with AI. She has an unrelenting passion for learning, constantly seeking new knowledge and getting excited by new discoveries. Originally from Mexico City, Ana now calls Austin, Texas her home. What if you could 4x your lead conversions without changing a thing in your business? That’s exactly what I help businesses do with my Conversational Funnels at Anabots, an AI-powered method that turns every lead into an opportunity, every interaction into a conversion, and every business into a success story. Originally trained as an architect, I now build sales systems that never sleep, never miss a lead, and always show up when your customers are ready to buy. AI isn’t about replacing you or your team; it’s about giving you the tools to work smarter. The best part is that you don’t need to be a tech expert to make it work. Conversational Funnels is simple, effective, and built for business owners who value their time. Beyond building AI strategies, I co-host two podcasts, Basic Business AI and BizHaps, where I break down complex AI strategies into simple terms and highlight real stories from entrepreneurs. I’m always looking for fresh voices, so if you’d like to share your insights or story, let’s talk about having you on as a guest!
