Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Kali Somerville of Anne Arundel County

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Kali Somerville. Check out our conversation below.

Kali, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What do you think is misunderstood about your business? 
Most people hear “AI consulting” and immediately picture robots taking jobs, or some complicated tech only the big players can afford. That’s not what I do. The AI Advantage Group exists to give everyday business owners—especially faith-driven entrepreneurs—the unfair advantage of using AI the right way.

The misunderstanding is that AI is cold, impersonal, or a threat. In reality, when used with wisdom and strategy, AI frees you up to serve your clients better, protect your time, and scale without burnout. I don’t teach gimmicks. I show business owners how to align AI tools with their values and vision so they can grow with confidence, not fear.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Kali Somerville, founder of The AI Advantage Group. After building a multi million dollar life insurance brokerage and coaching high achieving women through breakthrough transformation, I saw firsthand how quickly artificial intelligence was reshaping business and how many small business owners and entrepreneurs were being left behind. That’s why I launched The AI Advantage Group a faith based AI consulting firm that gives entrepreneurs the unfair advantage of using AI tools, automation, and strategy to stay competitive.

What makes us unique is simple I bridge the gap between technology and purpose. I translate complex AI solutions into practical steps such as business automation, customer engagement systems, content creation tools, and AI workflows that align with each client’s brand, values, and growth goals. It’s not about replacing people it’s about freeing them. Freeing time, expanding capacity, and creating scalable systems so business owners can grow without burnout.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
For me, it’s the need to prove myself. That drive served me well when I was rebuilding my life and launching businesses, but at this stage it no longer serves the vision. I don’t need to prove—I need to expand. Letting go of that old mindset frees me to lead from faith, wisdom, and strategy instead of striving.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding my pain the day I realized it was not a weakness. It was a testimony. July 12, 2016, when I got sober, was the turning point. From that moment on, I chose to stop performing perfection and start telling the truth. That truth became my power.

Instead of covering my story, I began to use it to help high achieving women, entrepreneurs, and faith driven business owners break cycles of fear and build generational wealth, sustainable systems, and AI powered solutions. It is why I launched Her Breakthrough Coaching Company and later The AI Advantage Group. To show that your deepest pain can become the platform for your greatest impact.

Now every workshop, automation build, or coaching session is fueled by that same principle. Take what tried to break you and turn it into a competitive edge that lifts others.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
People often assume the confident speaker, CEO, and coach they see on stage or online is my natural state. The truth is, I’m actually an introvert. I grew up shy and quiet, the kind of girl who would rather sit in the back of the room and observe than be in the spotlight.

What you see now is not a mask. It’s me showing up on purpose. Over time, faith, healing, and discipline taught me how to step into leadership without losing my core personality. I still value solitude and reflection. I still need time alone to recharge. But I refuse to let introversion become an excuse to play small.

That’s what makes my work at The AI Advantage Group and Her Breakthrough Coaching Company unique. I understand what it feels like to be overlooked or underestimated. I show faith driven entrepreneurs, women leaders, and small business owners how to use their own wiring—whether introvert or extrovert—to build authentic brands, scalable systems, and AI powered solutions without sacrificing who they are.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
When I was growing up, I was told to go to school, get good grades, and find a good job. I followed that path for a while because it was safe and respectable. But the truth is, it never felt like purpose.

The moment I decided to become an entrepreneur was the moment I stepped into what I was born to do. Building Her Breakthrough Coaching Company and The AI Advantage Group allowed me to break free from expectations and create something that aligned with my faith, my story, and my vision. Now I get to help faith driven entrepreneurs, women leaders, and small business owners use AI tools, business automation, and scalable systems to grow with confidence and build legacies.

That’s not what I was told to do it’s what I was created to do.
