In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, I’m joined by Wes Towers all the way from Australia, and he’s up early for this one, so yeah… MVP status ✅🏀
Wes is the founder behind Uplift 360, a digital agency serving the trades and construction industry through websites and SEO, and we dig into what it’s really like staying relevant in a world where AI is moving faster than people can update their passwords.
We talk about:
-
The real lessons entrepreneurship teaches you (especially the ones you learn the hard way)
-
How to communicate tech to non-tech clients without frying their brains
-
Why AI is changing marketing, SEO, and even how websites get traffic
-
The difference between using AI to sharpen your message vs creating “AI slop”
-
Why specificity wins: who you serve, what you stand for, and what you want to be known for
-
The future of leads: quality over quantity, and why trust is the new conversion rate
-
Why brands that show humanity and even flaws will stand out in the AI era
-
What tools are opening doors for entrepreneurs to build faster with less money
-
And why the “rough edges” might be the most valuable part of the whole thing
Wes also shares where to connect with him (LinkedIn) and plugs his new podcast for the trades and construction industry: Built. Trusted. Chosen.
If you’re building a business in 2026 and trying to stay real while the internet gets noisier by the day, this episode is for you.
