Let AI Do the Boring Work so SLPs Can Be More Human with Izzy Montano

Today, James sits down with speech-language pathologist, Navy veteran, and entrepreneur Izzy Montano to talk about the possibilities and limitations of AI in the disability space. Izzy shares how his own frustrations with the repetitive tasks of clinical work led him to create SLPTools.ai, a collection of AI-powered tools designed to help SLPs spend less time on paperwork and more time connecting with the people they serve. He and James discuss where AI excels, why human judgment remains essential, and what entrepreneurs should keep in mind when using emerging technology to solve real-world problems. Izzy also shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey, including the importance of developing new skills and having the tenacity to stick with an idea through the inevitable challenges along the way.
