Automation

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I run two blogs. Not one — two. And I do it alone, without a content team, a virtual assistant, or a single line of code. The secret isn’t working harder. It’s building a system that does the boring parts for you. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I keep seeing the same thread on Twitter: “I went from $0 to $10K/month building AI automations in 90 days.” It gets 50K likes. The replies are full of people asking how. The person selling the course makes $10K/month — from the course, not the automations. So I spent three months actually trying to build an AI automation business, and here’s what nobody’s telling you. ...

If I lost everything tomorrow — no subscriptions, no bookmarks, no muscle memory — and had to build an AI-powered workflow from scratch with exactly zero dollars, here’s what I’d set up before lunch. Not the “best 47 tools” list that makes your eyes glaze over. The actual six tools that form a working system. Every single one has a free tier that’s genuinely usable, not the “free trial then $49/month” bait-and-switch. ...

I’ve tested AI fitness coaching tools for two weeks across the workflows coaches actually do every day: client management, program design, scheduling, and content creation. Most “best AI tools” lists recommend Jasper and Zapier for fitness coaching, which tells me the writers haven’t used either for that purpose. Here’s what I found works, what doesn’t, and where the real time savings live. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Your boss just sent an email. All employees must now use AI tools — every day, tracked, leaderboard’d, and metric’d. Welcome to 2026, where using AI isn’t optional anymore, and the people who work at Amazon have already invented a word for what happens next: tokenmaxxing. ...

The setup took me about 11 hours total spread across a few weekends, and it now saves me roughly 11 hours every single week. If you’re running a coaching practice and spending more time on admin than actual coaching, here’s exactly what I built and what I learned the hard way. ...

It’s a model that decides which model to use. AI orchestrators are exactly what they sound like — one system that routes your request to the best AI for the job. Need to write code? It sends it to Claude. Need to analyze a spreadsheet? Gemini. Need a quick answer? GPT. You don’t choose. The orchestrator chooses for you. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I keep getting the same DM: “I run a small business. I’ve never used automation. Should I start with Make or Zapier?” And every time, I want to give a different answer — because the honest answer is “it depends,” and nobody who’s drowning in manual work wants to hear that. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Something happened this week that most people outside the developer world completely missed. Cursor — the AI code editor that’s already changing how people build software — released an SDK. And if you’re someone who’s never written a line of code, this matters more than you think. ...

You keep hearing that AI can automate your business. But every tutorial starts with “open your terminal” or “set up your API key” and your eyes glaze over. You’re not a developer. You’re a business owner. You don’t want to learn code — you want your inbox to stop being a full-time job. Here’s the good news: you can build your first real AI workflow in under 30 minutes without writing a single line of code. I’m going to walk you through exactly how — with real tools, real prompts, and a workflow you can copy today. ...
