About this listen

Real conversations with founders, operators, clinicians, and service-based business leaders who scale through systems, innovation, and practical execution.

Hosted by Louis Fernandes, Co-Founder of Edge Partners AI, this show dives into what it really takes to grow, adapt, and win in today’s fast-changing world — without the fluff, hype, or buzzword circus.

This is not a “tech for tech’s sake” podcast.
This is real-world AI & operations for real operators.

🚀 What You’ll Get in Every Episode

Each conversation is a deep dive into:

• The true drivers of scale (systems, processes, execution)
• How founders and operators navigate uncertainty
• The workflows, habits, and business mechanics behind growth
• What’s breaking down inside today’s service businesses — and how to fix it
• The practical role AI now plays in intake, reception, scheduling, operations, and customer experience
• How leaders think, decide, hire, implement, adapt, and stay ahead

Whether you run a dental practice, medical office, behavioral health clinic, med spa, home services company, or any business that relies on consistent operations and customer experience — these conversations will give you clarity, strategy, and an unfair advantage.

🧠 The Edge Philosophy

Business gets easier when:

• Intake is automatic
• Communication is consistent
• Customers never slip through the cracks
• Teams aren’t drowning in admin
• Owners have systems that run 24/7
• The business finally stops depending on YOU

This show explores how leaders build that reality through:

• AI receptionist systems
• Workflow automation
• Modern operations strategies
• Scalable processes
• Team efficiency
• Customer experience design
• Intelligent decision frameworks

The goal is simple:
Give you the “edge” you need to grow without burning out.

🎤 Conversations With People Who Are Actually Doing It

Guests include:

• Founders who built multi-location practices
• Healthcare & wellness leaders improving patient experience
• Home service owners scaling through systems
• Behavioral health executives rethinking intake & operations
• Med spa operators growing without chaos
• Real estate + business leaders building for the long-term
• Innovators using AI to remove bottlenecks, not jobs
• CEOs & operators known for execution, not talk

They share:
What worked. What failed. What changed everything.
And exactly how you can implement the same principles.

🔧 For the Operator Who Wants More

This podcast is for you if you’re the kind of leader who:

• Wants fewer bottlenecks and more freedom
• Hates wasted motion and broken operations
• Believes in systems over chaos
• Knows AI can help but wants someone who speaks plainly
• Wants to scale without adding more stress
• Values real conversations over theory

Every episode gives you a new lens, a new tactic, or a new way forward.

  • Don’t List It, Launch It, Logan Freeman on the 18.6 Year Cycle and Winning in 2026
    Feb 16 2026

    Most people only recognize the cycle after it hits them. Logan Freeman explains why he believes we are in the “winner’s curse” right now, what disciplined operators should do next, and how he’s selling CRE by launching deals like products, not just posting listings.

    Description:
    In this episode of The AI Edge Podcast, Louis Fernandes sits down with Logan Freeman, Managing Broker at Midwest Commercial Real Estate Advisors, also known as the KC CRE Guy. Logan is a broker, investor, and developer with $350M+ in executed transactions and a clear philosophy, he doesn’t just list commercial real estate, he launches it.

    Logan breaks down how he reads real estate cycles in real time using the 18.6 year real estate cycle and Ricardo’s law of economic rent, why he believes we are currently in the winner’s curse, and what operators are underestimating heading into 2026.

    We also dig into his Spotlight Strategy for marketing and selling CRE, how he builds organic demand through content and live deal launches, what changes in a soft leasing market, and where AI actually creates leverage in underwriting, positioning, and execution (including why Gamma has become a non negotiable tool in his workflow).

    If you are a broker, owner, investor, or developer looking for a sharper framework to position assets and stay ahead of the market, this episode will help you think more clearly, move faster, and make better decisions through this cycle.
