How to Thrive in a Post-AI Economy with Amy Sangster

Business

This episode? It’s not just fire—it’s a full-on revolution in how we think about business in 2025 and beyond. 🔥

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Amy Sangster, the powerhouse CEO of Member Up, a community platform that's reimagining how entrepreneurs build profitable businesses together. Amy has been building and scaling online empires since her early 20s, and while she used to cruise around in a Lamborghini, now she’s focused on building long-lasting impact through intentional community.

And y’all… she dropped GEM after GEM.

We talked about how AI is changing the entrepreneurial landscape (hello, ChatGPT 👋🏼), and what we—real humans with beating hearts and big dreams—can do to thrive in a world full of humanoid robots and smart machines.

Amy shared why community is not just a cute buzzword, but the strategy for future-proofing your brand. We also got real about how the next wave of business growth won’t come from better funnels or shinier tech… it’s going to come from building real connections and activating your community.

We also covered:

  • How Amy built multiple 7-figure businesses from scratch.
  • Why the best time to build a community is NOW (especially if you think you’re “not ready”).
  • Her step-by-step framework for launching a profitable membership.
  • The mindset shifts needed to lead with service instead of fear.

If you've ever wondered: “Can I really create a community that brings in revenue, impact, and legacy?” — this episode is your answer.

Oh, and we get a little spicy talking about mindset, identity, and why your vision is your superpower in a world racing to automate everything.

So whether you’re just starting your business or scaling to 8-figures, Amy’s insights are going to shake your world in the BEST way.
