You’re Being Recorded: How AI and Transcripts Can Transform Your Business

“Wait... am I being recorded?”If you’re in a meeting these days, the answer is probably yes — and that’s not a bad thing.

In this episode of The Do Business Podcast, Todd Frazier explains why recording meetings and letting AI take the notes might be one of the smartest business moves you can make in 2025.

🎯 Why Recording Meetings is a Business Game-Changer

Whether you're on Zoom, in a boardroom, or chatting with a client on the go, the ability to record and transcribe meetings brings real advantages:

• Stay fully present — no more scribbling half-baked notes

• Capture everything — never forget what was actually said

• Increase follow-through — AI summaries + action items keep projects moving

If you’re not a natural note-taker, this is your lifeline.

🤖 Enter the PLAUD AI Recorder (link: https://amzn.to/40Bzp1g)

Todd shares his experience using the PLAUD AI recorder — a pocket-sized device that captures conversations, transcribes them, and creates AI-generated summaries and action items.

Combine it with ChatGPT Teams and Zoom’s AI Companion, and you get:

• Context-aware summaries

• Action items assigned to speakers

• Searchable transcripts tied to clients or projects

It’s like hiring a personal assistant who never sleeps.

⚖️ But Wait… Is This Legal?

California is a two-party consent state — meaning everyone in the conversation must agree to be recorded. So before you hit record:

Say something like, “Just a heads up — I’m recording this so I can review later. Is that okay with you?”

That keeps you compliant and respectful.

🗂️ From Meeting to Archive: Building Your Business Intelligence Library

Once you start recording and storing your AI summaries:

• You can reference past client conversations

• You’ll never misremember what was promised or discussed

• You build a living, searchable archive of your decisions and strategy

This creates accountability — not only to clients, but to yourself.

🔄 Do Business Method Spotlight:

Todd’s “Do Business Method” applies perfectly here:

• Perspective: What if you’re missing key information because you’re not recording?

• Process: Record → Transcribe → Summarize → Store

• Results: Better clarity, better decisions, better business

• Repeat: Make this a rhythm, not a one-off.

•
