Venture capital is pouring into the agency world because of AI — and Jordan sits down with one of the founders at the front of that curve. Jason Hu (UChicago '22, ex-AI researcher, a16z-backed) built Nexad, an AI-native platform for marketing agencies that wraps every major model and 1,000+ integrations into one command center. They cover the three archetypes of AI adoption in agencies, a live demo of creative generation, account health audits, and bulk campaign operations, how Nexad auto-routes between models like Claude, GPT, and Kimi K3 based on daily benchmark evals — and why Jason believes agencies will thrive, not die, in the AI era.Key TakeawaysThe three AI-adoption archetypes: (1) the unfamiliar — heard the buzzwords, only ever used ChatGPT as a chat; (2) the majority — using point solutions (creative gen, one-off agents) but not chaining them into agentic workspaces; (3) the frontier — operators running 20+ agents simultaneously. Each has different pain points; the platform meets all three where they are.The "impossible to keep up" problem: New models ship weekly. Nexad positions as a wrapper and router — an internal eval system runs each new model against ~30 representative agency tasks (health checks, complex campaign ops, long-running tasks) and auto-selects the best cost/performance option daily.Real routing example: Within an hour of Kimi K3's launch, their evals found performance comparable to Claude Opus 4.8 at roughly half the cost — so mid-tier traffic was rerouted automatically. Users pick a tier (Light / Pro / Max), not a model.The agent = a marketing employee's loop: ingest inputs (client comms, ad platform data from Meta/Google/TikTok/GA4, competitor intel), process (analysis, creative generation), output (campaign changes, uploads, client-ready reports). The demo covered competitor creative teardowns, a shareable account health audit, and bulk-uploading 100 creatives to Meta.Guardrails for sensitive actions: budget or creative changes trigger explicit review-and-approve prompts and batch action review — a contrast Jason draws with running raw agents that can "go rogue" in the backend.Client context is the killer feature: the platform reads Slack, Gmail, meeting transcripts, and Drive to build persistent client context ("no logos in creatives") that agents apply automatically — over 50% of agency hours go to client communication, and this attacks that directly.Chat first, automate second: typical adoption path is playing in the chat interface, then converting proven outputs into scheduled automations (e.g., daily health check → Slack report) in about 10 seconds.The closing thesis: AI commoditizes the execution layer of agency work. What remains — and becomes the whole game — is creativity, client trust, and proprietary market insight. Agencies thrive in the AI era; they don't disappear.Resources & LinksNexad: nex.adJason Hu on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/qitian-huWork with Jordan: 8figureagency.co

OK, my survivor friends, as promised I have news. My summer has been jam-packed. This month has been even jam-packier. Let's talk about Pat's story contest story we just listened to. Again, 900 words isn't a lot to play with and I think he did a good job building a story arc into that space. It's got a beginning, middle and end. There are clear stakes and a complete character arc. I could see this story as a ClarkesWorld or Dust or Escape Pod offering. More to come - We both just submitted stories for the summer contest. The second book of the After the Apocalypse 5 novel series is finished and shipped and available anywhere you buy books. So go get it. Read it. Tell your friends. Leave a review. Let the world know that this is a great series and they won't regret engaging. But, wait! That's not all. I also built a commercial proposal in July and submitted it to publisher. The process helped me organize my thoughts and content in a form that I can reuse. So that was cool. Let me know if you're interested in seeing the proposal. It took me most of July to get the proposal prepared.But, one of the things they ask for is comparison books. Basically what are other book that have been published recently that are representative of how your book might be seen in the market and how did they perform. My knee jerk reaction was to reach for famous apocalyptic books, like The Stand, or The Road, or The Earth Abides, or The Dog Stars. But I felt like this was lazy and not a true comparison. So, I researched more contemporary post-apocalyptic fiction and found three that I'll share with you. I listened to them all on audio, because I had a deadline. All of them were available through my library on the Hoopla app. So, my friends, if you love listening to post-apocalyptic fiction, get yourself a library card and use their app to get your fill of free, high-quality fiction. The first book was A Beginning at the End by Mike Chen. It's a post-apocalyptic family drama based in current day San Francisco Area. It was ok, but a bit soap opera with a wimpy main male character. The second book was Moon of the running leaves by Waubgeshig Rice. It is written in the POV of a First Nations people in Canada searching for a new home after some sort vague systems collapse ends civilization and government. I really liked this book. Especially the audio version. It has a lyrical cadence to it. It is beautifully written. The third was The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton. I think this was the best constructed of the three. The opening chapter builds characters and stakes so well and then grabs you by the throat. The stakes are high. The story is set in a rapidly devolving Florida. The environment is reclaiming the lands. Government is failing. Humanity and our protagonists learn to adapt and evolve. These are all worth listening to. They are all deeper than just chase scenes and explosions. And now we stumble into August and I'm turning my attention to several other projects. Including helping listener Colin create a 3-episode Australian apocalypse arc that we'll start releasing in August. And Mike Darling from the Apocalypse Post wants to collaborate on a story. Anyhoo – go leave a comment on the podcast in whatever pod-catcher you're using – give Pat and Virginia some feedback. You can always poke me on the After the Apocalypse Facebook page, and if any of this patter hits you in such a way that you want to talk to me directly, just send me an email at cyktrussell at Gmail. But, before you do that, get my 2nd book, read it and leave a review. And pull your face out of the cloying, fetid mud and gaze hopefully at the burning clouds and acid flashes of lightning. Hold your gaze. And keep surviving. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#1015 Ever wonder what it takes to run a $2 million+ Etsy and Shopify empire while working just two to three hours a day? In part 1 of this two-part episode, Christina Umerez of CUOnline joins us to break down how she built a location-independent print-on-demand business — and how she's using Claude AI to automate the tedious parts that used to eat up her entire day. Christina walks through her journey from hand-drawn pet portraits on Etsy back in 2020 to scaling two separate seven-figure storefronts, and dives deep into how she's using Claude's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to handle customer service drafts straight from her Gmail and auto-generate SEO — titles, descriptions, tags, and more — for every new product she lists. She shares real numbers on the time she's saved (cutting her VA's customer service hours nearly in half), what it costs to get started, and practical tips for anyone looking to buy back their time with AI! What we discuss with Christina: + Building a $2M+ Etsy store via print-on-demand + Scaling a second Shopify store to $2M+ + How print-on-demand works (Printify, no inventory) + Testing niches with 10 designs each + Working just 2-3 hours a day + Using Claude MCPs for Gmail customer service drafts + Auto-generating SEO for Shopify listings + Claude subscription costs ($20 vs Max plan) + Cutting VA customer service hours in half + Re-prompting Claude to refine its responses over time Thank you, Christina!

Calvin #1: Some more things about Django I've been enjoying Julia Evans is learning "2010-style" web dev (Django + SQL + server-rendered HTML) after years of Go backends and JS-heavy frontends Query builders: likes defining custom QuerySet classes with chainable filter methods (.approved().future().with_tags()) — more readable than raw SQL Template filters: highlights urlize, linebreaksbr, json_script, and especially querystring for building/modifying query-string links in templates Migrations: still loves Django's auto-generated migrations — 19 and counting on her project Skips inheritance for class-based views; prefers function-based views for sharing code, though fine using Django's own mixins/interfaces Performance surprise: CPU profiling (via py-spy) — not slow DB queries — revealed the culprit; she'd accidentally disabled the cached template loader, and re-enabling it took throughput from ~2-3 req/s to ~12 req/s on a $10/mo VM Michael #2: Who cleans up after the vibe-coding party? FT Magazine piece by Sam Learner (July 11) on AI coding tools overwhelming open source maintainers - sent in by listener Dylan McConnell, whose main point was that this ran in the Financial Times, not a dev blog. cURL as the case study - Daniel Stenberg has been the only full-time person on it for years; libcurl has been installed an estimated 20+ billion times with 3,000+ listed contributors. Bug bounty killed - cURL ended its paid security bounty program in January, citing an "explosion of AI slop reports" that take real time to debunk and drain morale. Extractive contributions - authoring a PR is now nearly free, reviewing one still costs a human; tldraw's Steve Ruiz closed outside contributions entirely, asking why he'd want someone else writing the easy part. Guido weighs in - van Rossum says projects are holding emergency meetings over the slop flow, and notes LLM patches tend to touch unrelated parts of a file, making review more tedious. "Vibe Coding Kills Open Source" - paper from Miklós Koren's group: packages frequently recommended by coding models saw big download jumps with no matching engagement, breaking the reputation loop that sustains maintainers. Stack Overflow flatlined - over 100,000 questions a month before ChatGPT, under 1,500 last month, with the response rate cut roughly in half; the public archive is now stale training data. The course-creator angle - Josh Comeau's newest web dev course launched at about a third of prior enrollment, and he worries about devs who never learn which questions to ask. But the most interesting portion is what was omitted. Focused on: The end of the curl bug-bounty Omitted: High-Quality Chaos Why the omission is interesting It fits a narrative. The FT piece is a maintenance-and-decline story, and January-Stenberg is a perfect witness for it. April-Stenberg complicates it - same person, same project, better data, opposite direction on the specific claim being used. The tell is already in the article. Learner quotes Stenberg saying AI tools are much better at finding problems than fixing them. That's the April thesis in one line, and it goes undeveloped. Reason for the shift is process, not vibes. Killing the bounty removed the cash incentive and the venue change filtered the rest. Worth saying out loud, because "AI reports got better" isn't quite it - "no bounty plus a real triage platform" is closer. Joke too: Sarah O'Connor wrote a related piece (is this just before skynet launches?) Calvin #3: Where Did All Your AI Tokens Go? AgentsView to the rescue!

As usual with phishing scams there are a bunch of tells that this isn't legitimate, but just enough plausibility that I could see falling for it in a weak moment. Relative nobodies like me haven't historically been worth the effort to hit with scams this specific. Agents change the game though :-/. Be careful out there folks! Original message From: "Patrick (Blacktrace)" [HTML_REMOVED] To: LISTENER EMAIL Subject: Your Bandit #1350 (B105 NextToken false positive) -- just fixed that exact case Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 12:02 AM Hi AJ, Saw your Bandit issue #1350 -- the B105 hardcoded-password false positive on the string NextToken. I build a deterministic gate that filters that class of Bandit noise, and #1350 was literally the case I just fixed: NextToken / next_token / page_token / nextPageToken now stay quiet, while a genuine hardcoded token like api_token="sk-live-..." still fires. Verified against your exact case. 30-second paste: https://blacktrace.co/noise-eraser Where it still trips, published: https://blacktrace.co/kruc Curious whether it clears what you hit -- and if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply. Patrick, Blacktrace I asked Claude for some analysis too. It was pretty good at finding them. The message name-drops enough real detail to feel legit, but the structure is pure phishing - everything in it exists to get AJ onto blacktrace.co. The strongest ones: Freemail sender, corporate signoff. Signs as "Patrick, Blacktrace" but sends from emailpjv@gmail.com. Real company outreach comes from the company domain, not a personal Gmail - and there's no last name. Over-specific targeting. It mirrors AJ's exact public activity - issue #1350, the B105 rule, the NextToken false positive, even the token variants. That's the "just enough plausibility" AJ flagged, and it's exactly what agents make cheap: scrape a GitHub issue, auto-generate tailored bait. Legit cold outreach rarely reads your history back to you this precisely. The entire payload is two links. Strip the technical flattery and the message is just "paste here" plus "see results here." When the whole point of an email is the click, that's the tell. "30-second paste." Low-friction urgency, and "paste" most likely means paste your source into their tool - handing your code to a stranger's site. Exfiltration dressed as convenience. Brand-new, no-reputation domain. blacktrace.co has no track record, and the name is doing some ominous work. The /kruc slug is random noise, not how real product pages get named. Precise-sounding jargon that's actually vague. "Deterministic gate," "noise-eraser" - impressive, empty. Bolted onto correct real details (B105 is the Bandit hardcoded-password test, sk-live- is a Stripe live-key prefix) to borrow credibility. The disarming close. "if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply" - engineered humility that flatters your expertise and baits a response. Makes engaging feel like you're doing them a favor, which drops your guard.

Is Google losing the AI search war - or winning it? Eli Schwartz, bestselling author of Product-Led SEO joins Russ Macumber to unpack why Google's distribution edge (Android, Chrome, YouTube, Gmail) still beats anything ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can offer - and why AEO is really just SEO wearing a new hat.They cover how Reddit's data feed may shape what LLMs trust, why chasing individual AI platforms is a losing strategy, and whether AI is coming for marketers' jobs (mostly just the boring parts). Plus: real takeaways from Google I/O, an early look at AI-powered Gmail search, why prompt-tracking tools mislead brands, and the fast-approaching world of hyper-personalized search.

In this episode of Negotiating Happiness, host Adriana is joined by Brittney Ashley of Creative Dynamics for Part 3 of their 4-part AI series—grounding the conversation in where AI already shows up in everyday life. Even if you've never used an “AI tool,” they explain how AI has been shaping what you see (and don't see) for years through search, recommendations, and filtering—using familiar examples like Google Search, Netflix personalization, and Gmail spam protection. The takeaway: “AI is everywhere” doesn't mean it's taking over tomorrow—it means it's been quietly embedded in the background of digital life for a long time, and you can start engaging with it more intentionally.

There may be a podcast you've listened to for years—someone who has taught you, encouraged you, entertained you, or helped you make decisions that changed your life. But have you ever actually told them? I've been listening to podcasts since the summer of 2005. Over those twenty years, I've listened to thousands of episodes from countless creators. Yet when I honestly thought about how often I've personally reached out to tell one of those creators about the impact they've had on my life, the number was surprisingly small. This episode was inspired by something I heard while listening to Matthew McLean interview Sarah Golding on his Audio Indies podcast. Sarah talked about how little direct feedback creators sometimes receive—even when the download numbers tell them that hundreds or thousands of people are listening. She shared that one meaningful piece of feedback can sometimes provide enough encouragement to fuel a creator for another six months. That really stayed with me. As listeners, we often assume established creators hear appreciation all the time. The reality is that they often don't. People listen silently. They learn silently. They appreciate silently. Sometimes they even make significant changes in their lives because of something they heard—and the person behind the microphone never knows. In this episode, I share why analytics and download numbers can never replace genuine human acknowledgment. I also tell a very personal story from the early days of the Weekly Lost Podcast, when harsh criticism nearly caused me to walk away from podcasting altogether. I genuinely believed I was done. Then something happened. Our community responded with an overwhelming amount of encouragement and honest feedback about what our work meant to them. That feedback helped me keep going. Had I stopped producing podcasts at that moment, my entire life might look very different today. There may never have been a Podcast Answer Man. I may never have trained more than 40,000 people to launch podcasts. So much of what followed over the next nineteen years might never have happened. That experience taught me just how powerful expressed appreciation can be. I also share a practice I've developed over the years: intentionally saving meaningful feedback. I have physical letters and cards that I've kept, along with a Gmail label called Praise and Encouragement where I save messages that remind me why this work matters. When those inevitable questions arise— Is anybody really listening? Does this matter? Should I keep going? —I have somewhere to return and reconnect with evidence of the impact. A Few Creators I Want to Publicly Thank In this episode, I also take some time to publicly express my appreciation for several creators whose work has had a profound influence on my life. Leo Laporte introduced me to podcasting in its earliest days and has been one of the most influential voices in my relationship with technology. More than twenty years later, I still regularly listen to MacBreak Weekly and This Week in Tech. Fr. Roderick Vonhögen has been another voice in my life for more than twenty years. His curiosity, childlike astonishment, authenticity, love of service, and passion for personal growth have influenced me in countless ways. Over the years, our connection grew from listener and podcaster into a meaningful personal friendship. Brian and Liz Deacle, creators of It's a Drama, are another couple whose podcast I listen to consistently. I love their authenticity, their relationship, their adventures around the world, and the opportunity to live vicariously through some of their experiences. I also give honorable mentions to three people whose podcasts have played significant roles in different seasons of my life: My dear friend and mentor Dan Miller and the 48 Days Online Radio Show Michael Hyatt and his This Is Your Life podcast My dear friend Ray Edwards and The Ray Edwards Show Each of these creators has contributed something meaningful to the person I am today. My Challenge to You Before today ends, think of one creator who has positively impacted your life and send them a message. Don't just write: “Great episode.” Tell them something specific. Tell them what you heard. Tell them what you learned. Tell them about a decision you made or something you changed because of their work. Tell them the story of the impact. And for bonus points, consider doing this one without AI. Just be fully human. Human to human. Listener to creator. Don't assume your appreciation is obvious. Expressed gratitude is different from felt gratitude. The message that takes you three, five, or ten minutes to send may become the fuel that helps someone continue creating for the next six months—and their decision to keep going may ultimately impact countless other lives. Sometimes We Need More Than Encouragement There is another side to feedback. Sometimes we simply need someone to remind us: What you're doing matters. Keep going. But there are other seasons when encouragement alone isn't enough. Sometimes we need honest reflection. We need someone who can see what we're too close to see. We need questions we haven't thought to ask ourselves. We need strategic feedback, greater clarity about where we're going, and help identifying the next aligned step forward. Sometimes we need a room where we can safely say: “This is who I am. This is where I am. This is where I want to go. This is where I'm stuck. What do you see that I may not be seeing?” That is exactly why I created Next Level Mastermind: Momentum. Momentum is a weekly mastermind environment for entrepreneurs who want greater clarity, honest reflection, strategic feedback, aligned next steps, and the kind of relational accountability that turns insight into committed, calendared action. I have been loving what is already happening in this room each week. If you are in a season where you could benefit from greater clarity, perspective, meaningful feedback, and a room of people genuinely committed to helping one another move forward, I invite you to check it out.

This morning I want to share some witnesses of healing with you. Before I share them, I want to talk with you about how important it is to enlist others to pray with you and for you as well. I am on several prayer chains. In case you aren't sure what that means, let me explain. It is a group of people who offer to intercede on your behalf. A lot of churches have a prayer line where you can call in or email in a prayer request, and then whoever is in charge will email it out to all who volunteered to help pray. Also, it may be the members of a prayer group, or another group that has a group chat. I am in three different WhatsApp groups, and we send prayer requests when we have them, and then everyone on the chat prays for the person requesting prayer. If your church does not have a prayer line, consider starting one. It is as easy as setting up an email address where people can send in requests. For instance, I started one at St. J's collaborative in MA. So I went on Gmail and created an email account name that is St.Jsprayerline@gmail.com. Then I put an announcement in the bulletin looking for people who would be willing to pray for any requests that came in. There are 42 people who volunteered to be on that email list. Now, people send in prayer requests, and at least 42 other people are praying for them. For the various WhatsApp groups, there are different numbers of people in each group. There are a lot of reasons why we may not want to ask for prayers. We may not want people to know we are struggling. We may not want to worry people. We may not think our struggle is important enough to bother people with. We may think God has more important prayers to answer. We may think other people are too busy to pray for us. Whatever it is that we might be thinking, the truth is, no one is too busy to say a quick prayer. Another truth is that there is so much power in asking people to pray for you. There is so much power in multiple people interceding on your behalf. You do not have to suffer in silence. You do not have to just deal. Ask people to pray. Also, we get graces every time we pray. So asking others to pray is actually helping them out too!   Here are a few prayer requests and responses from the various prayer groups. This woman had asked for prayers because she had to go to the eye doctor. The pressure was high in her eyes, and they said she needed to come back for a follow-up. If it was still high, they were going to need to do surgery. The doctor seemed pretty sure that they were going to need to do surgery. Here was her text the next day. “Good evening, Prayer Warriors. JESUS DID IT AGAIN! The test for my eyes was normal - the pressure was low, under 20! YES - HE DID IT AGAIN - what a wonderful GOD we serve. Thank you for your prayer this morning. God bless you all.”   Next is a woman whose uncle has been refusing to eat. He was having dreams of his wife who had passed away telling him not to eat, so he wasn't. We prayed at our prayer meeting that he would start eating, and here is her text message afterward. “Good morning, Watchmen.  My uncle just asked for food. Thank you for your intercession. May God continue to bless all of you, and may He answer your prayers speedily!”   Next, I have the specific prayer request and the text message reply. Dear Sisters, I ask for your prayers for my friend. He is young, in his late 40s. Tomorrow morning he is having a very complicated open-heart surgery to replace one of the valves. This is his third surgery, and it's a complicated one because of complications from an enlarged heart/aorta. Her reply after the surgery? “I wanted to update you that my friend has come through his open heart surgery successfully yesterday and is in the ICU. Thank you for your prayers and intentions. God bless you all.”   Here is the next prayer request and answer. “Good morning, watchmen. Please keep me in your prayers. The director of the agency that I work for has recommended me for a promotion at the agency's headquarters. There are two other candidates, but the director just told me she would rather have me in that position due to my work ethic. Good morning, beautiful people of God. God has done it! The prophecy came to pass.  I got the promotion!!! Please help me praise God for his divine mercy and provision.  May God do unto you all the marvelous things he has done for me.” This woman did not even know there was a promotion available. She did not seek it out; her boss came to her, told her about it, and told her to apply. She not only got this promotion, but she got a second job that she had been looking for! God is so good! This same woman was in prayer group one morning and mentioned her daughter was sick. Her daughter had been experiencing intense ear pain for the previous 8 hours or so. She was going to have to take her to the doctors. We took time to pray over her daughter. After prayer, her daughter said it felt a little better. Later that day I got a text from the mom saying her daughter felt so much better she wanted to go to school that day.   Here is a prayer request from another group. “Healing for my niece Kathy who broke her back 2 months ago. She is in a lot of pain, and can't be treated until some healing can happen. Please pray for healing.” Here is the text we received a few months later: “Regarding my niece Kathy who broke her back in February, I asked for her because there was no hope the surgeons could restore anything. The sutures finally came out today; she will start Physical Therapy soon and will hopefully go back to work in August. A miracle thank you for your prayers!!!” Here is another prayer request: “Please pray for Ann, who is in the hospital and having surgery on her back to repair chipped bones to help lessen her back pain. Thanks” And the text afterward: “Update- Ann's surgery went well. She might come home today. Thanks for the prayers.”   Here is another one: “Prayer request for Tom having cardiac ablation tomorrow at 12:30 pm. Thank you, everyone.” The reply: “Thank you, everyone, for your prayers. Tom had his heart procedure; so far, he is doing well and needs to be careful. 5 days of being careful, then back to normal! Praise God” These are just a few of the many prayer requests that come in. As you can see, some of them are really big, and some might not feel so big. There is no criterion for when we should ask for prayers and when we shouldn't. If you ask me, you always should; what could it hurt to get extra prayers? I remember in my Encounter Ministries classes Deacon Joe would always say it doesn't matter if we are praying for a healing of cancer or a healing of a hangnail. God cares just the same about both and can heal them both. He doesn't have to pick. When we are praying to God about the things we might think are small, it doesn't take anything away from other people's prayers. God can hear all of our prayers. He is not limited in any way. I pray this episode of Witness Wednesday does three things for you. First, I pray in encourages you to ask others to pray for you whenever you have a prayer request. Second, I hope you search out a prayer line or prayer chain you can join so you can start interceding more for others. And finally, that when you do ask people to pray for you, you update them on how the situation turned out. When we tell others about how God answered our prayers, it builds their faith in God and also reinforces that prayer does work! I love you all, and I want you to know that even though I may not know you, I am praying for you and your families. Please pray for others, it is so important!! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Building an AI agent starts with one thing most people skip. Purpose. Get that right and the platform choice becomes obvious.In this episode of The Unlock, Oliver Bruce walks through the workflow he has refined over six months of building agents and platforms on OpenClaw, Manus and Lovable, all anchored in a single Claude project.It starts with the Three Ps Framework. Purpose is what your agent is for. Product is how you package that into something you could explain to a client. Prompt is the detailed brief that drives the build. Skip the purpose and you get hallucinations and code you never asked for.The hub for all of it is a Claude project. You upload your knowledge documents and your prompt, then tell the project to treat that prompt as the heartbeat of the build. From there you use Claude Code as a consultant, running a two way loop between the code and your terminal to keep the agent on track.Oliver breaks down where each platform fits. OpenClaw is the most robust and operational, but it needs a Mac mini that stays on and carries some security exposure. Manus, acquired by Meta in late 2025, is the creative engine that plugs into Instagram, Gmail and Nano Banana, but it burns credits fast. Lovable is the lowest barrier to entry and the quickest to monetise, because it ships a real platform you can charge a SaaS fee for.The thread through all three is the same. Start small. Set tight parameters. Ship slowly and methodically.Key topics covered: The Three Ps Framework for briefing any AI agent Why purpose has to come before platform How to use a Claude project as the hub for every build How to run Claude Code as a two way consultant What OpenClaw is best for and what it costs to run Why Manus is the creative engine and how it burns credits Why Lovable is the fastest platform to monetise How to set parameters that stop agents hallucinating Key takeaway: Get the purpose, product and prompt right and Claude will tell you which platform to build on.

Every email you send trains your list to do something. Most people don't realize they're training their subscribers to expect free stuff and never reach for a wallet. In this episode, Igor breaks down why he never sends "chat emails," what Gmail is actually measuring when it decides whether you land in the inbox, and the psychological barrier that makes marketers overcompensate with value emails until their list stops buying entirely. Plus: the story of a friend who ran two campaigns to the same list, sent roughly the same number of clicks, and got 200 sales from one and 20 from the other.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about a very popular term these days which is data sovereignty, AKA owning your data and who owns your data. In the news recently, HubSpot made an announcement last week that caused a firestorm of commentary. Appropriately so when they said that to better improve HubSpot’s predictive abilities in your CRM, customers would be able to share data and see data from other HubSpot accounts to predict the likelihood of a certain type of sale closing. Now they did say that it would be something that you could opt into, although that was not super clear. And the terms of service were vague enough that if you were an eagle-eyed legal expert, which we are not, you could say, yeah, we’re going to do this regardless. LinkedIn exploded, threads exploded, Twitter exploded, and HubSpot walked it back over the weekend to say we screwed up. And to that credit they said we screwed up. We didn’t do our homework on this. We’re not going to make this terms of service change. However, there are still two consequences. One, folks have pointed out they didn’t say they weren’t going to implement the feature, they just said they’re not going to change the terms of service this way. And two, the big question that a lot of folks have is from a customer’s perspective, this was kind of a big deal in terms of violation of trust, which is a really important thing. And one commenter said it took HubSpot twenty years to build trust in four days to screw it up. Now again, to their credit, they did walk it back. But Katie, what’s your take on this, particularly as it relates to the integrity of our data? Because as we see these days more and more, every AI company is saying we need more data, so we’re just going to come in and take it well. Katie Robbert: And that’s always been the risk with using these software vendors is they can change things on a whim. And yeah, you can blow up social media and say I’m so mad at this. That doesn’t mean they have to do anything about it because guess who already has your data? Guess whose system you are already integrated to, guess whose system you have built connectors to and tapped into the API of, and you are building your whole business around. So the cost of switching is incredibly high and incredibly painful, and you’re not necessarily going to find a vendor that’s doing things any more ethically or doing things in a way that their governance aligns with what you want to see. Because again, to that comment, HubSpot spent twenty years building trust and then they decided to change it. I call BS on the we didn’t do our homework, we screwed up. Really. The size of company that you are, you don’t just change things on a whim. This is something that has likely been on your roadmap for a very long time. It was just a matter of trying to figure out how to do it in a way that you could sneak it in. But still, July fourth, holiday weekend. Well yeah, so there’s that. But legally, the language holds up. They worked with their lawyers, they worked with their IT department, they worked with whoever is involved in that change. It wasn’t an oopsie, we didn’t do our homework. No, I’ve worked in a large organization. I know how these things happen. There is no oopsie, we screwed up. You didn’t. You got caught, period. And your customers are angry. But guess who’s not going to stop being a customer anymore? Your customers. And they already got the data. Nowhere in that did they say and we’re going to repartition the data or we’re going to unshare the data. They were just like oopsies, you caught us. Okay, where is it? Oh, it’s over here. Here we go. That gets a red flag today. It gets a huge red flag because more and more, it’s Google adding AI into workspace conversation all over again. When my mother-in-law was here, she kept complaining about how Google was making suggestions in her Gmail. You can turn that off. Well, what if I need it? Then don’t complain about it. But Google made this change where it’s looking at all of your emails, it’s looking at all of your chat conversations, it’s looking at all of your stuff. Google has been looking at your web searches for however long web search has existed. On the one hand, I can understand the outrage of customers of a CRM saying I thought you were protecting my data. On the other hand, I’m a little surprised at people’s sort of naive perspective that our data was private in the first place. And I’m sort of like, so bad on the CRM, but also bad on the consumer for not being more informed that nothing is private. Like your Social Security number. It exists in a million places. People just haven’t decided that you’re the person that they want to steal the identity of. Maybe you’re not that interesting. I don’t know. Okay, I’m going to red flag myself. That was terrible. Red flag myself, sorry. Christopher S. Penn: It does raise the question, and this is something that vendors in particular have not thought a lot about. Generative AI in its current incarnation is best at software development. That is the number one task being used for. It is what is most skilled at, is what has been tuned the best for. Which means that if you are a SaaS provider, you are skating on very thin ice because you are one prompt away from a customer saying, screw it. I’m going to try vibe coding it myself. And whether or not that’s a good idea, we’ll put that aside because we’ve talked about that in the past. The reality is that with skilled use of these tools, you could say we’re just going to bring this in house. And we’ve done that. I’ve done that even on my personal blog, on my personal website. I said, you know what, I don’t want to pay for this plugin anymore. I’m just going to bring this in house and stop paying for this. And over time, you see the bills going down as you bring in more stuff in house because your AI tool that you built it with is also the AI tool you provide support to yourself with, so you don’t have to pay for the additional upkeep. One of the biggest moats that SaaS has always had was, hey, you don’t want to do server maintenance, you don’t want to do software maintenance, you don’t want to do any of that stuff. Pay a vendor to do it. Well, now it’s like I have basically a junior employee, right? Because we’ve talked about how tools like Claude Code basically are junior employees. I have a support resource. It may not be perfect, but it gets better every day. And so for marketers, for business folks, for folks who are looking at particularly operations folks, as you’re auditing your tech stack and as you’re seeing changes happen to your point, Katie, and vendors trying to cram AI into everything, the question has to become at what point do people start bringing things back in house, given the capabilities of what even a $20 a month AI subscription can do for you? Katie Robbert: I think for a lot of companies, that’s definitely something they’re thinking about. But you’re still talking about a whole suite of skills. You’re still talking about a software developer, you’re still talking about an IT person, you’re still talking about QA, a database architect. Sure, AI can do that stuff, provided you know how to tell IT what to do. And so for us, I would say you have some of those skills, but you do not encompass the skill sets of all four of those individuals. So I would be hesitant to say, sure, we can just have whatever you’ve built, manage it and get rid of this other vendor. We’re not there yet. I can see us getting there. Companies who have none of those skill sets because that’s not what they do. Think of perhaps a creative agency that really works on front-end design and branding. They don’t have the skill sets in house to do this. So even though AI can do a lot of those things, they still have to have someone to tell the AI what to do and stand it up and manage it. That data has to go somewhere. That data still has to be secure in some way. So you still need someone who understands database architecture, who understands servers. I hear what you’re saying and there is a reason why the majority of us turn to vendors like you, just handle it. Saying we can handle it ourselves in house is not as easy as it sounds like. Yeah, it’s an empty threat to the vendors. Especially if you’ve never stood up a server. You don’t know what goes into good data privacy. You are just vibe coding your own version of a CRM. That is a recipe for disaster and it’s likely going to lead to data leaks in some way of your most valuable data. So I hear what you’re saying, Chris. I think that a lot of companies are going to put that on their roadmap of what does it look like for us to build this in house for ourselves. I think that is more possible than it ever has been. But there’s still a lot of caveats with that. I’m saying to do it the right way, you need those skill sets. It doesn’t mean you can’t just go ahead and do it. Christopher S. Penn: It’s true. I do think there’s a space for consultancies and agencies to operate, particularly if you’re a hybrid agency where you have an IT consulting capability. I think, for example, IBM IX as one example, that’s a blend where that might be a realistic choice to say we have our trusted agency that we work with and we don’t like what we see. A HubSpot or Salesforce or whoever doing it, we don’t need it. John was at Salesforce Connections not too long ago and was saying that it’s Agentforce, everything is Agentforce and AI agents. And there are a lot of folks saying we don’t need that nor do we need to pay for that. We can take Sugar CRM, which is a free open source product, with our existing IT agency with the assistance of AI, with their help because they do know servers and they do know this. We’re going to stop paying Salesforce $3 million a year and instead pay our agency maybe $2 million a year to run it for us and save a million bucks a year. And we won’t have all this extra stuff that nobody asked for and that doesn’t fit their business case for it. And I think there is an opportunity in the marketplace for that. Katie Robbert: I agree. But let me counter with this question. You know, we have collectively put a lot of stock and time into these large language models. We’ve also seen instances where a company rolls back the large language model that they rolled out for a variety of reasons. What risk are we taking by then saying well, I’m going to fire the vendor, I’m going to build it myself because I have a large language model? And then tomorrow the large language model gets shut down. So you fired your vendor, you don’t have a large language model. What do you do? Is that a real risk? As someone who is very risk averse, I should be thinking about this in terms of business continuity planning. If you are tied into only working with one vendor, for example Anthropic, and as we saw in recent events the U.S. government said you can’t have that model in public, yes, that is a risk. Christopher S. Penn: However, if you are a multimodal aware company and you know where to find GLM 5.2, which we have through our Deep Infra subscription, and you know how to host models locally, which we’ve talked about in previous episodes of the podcast and the live stream, your risk is significantly reduced because you have more options. That’s what I learned from you, the more realistic options you have, the lower your risk because you have backup plans, you have backups to your backups. And if you are working in the AI space today and you have integrated AI and it is now a risk because your business is so dependent on it, you would better have those backup plans handy. But the good news is there’s so many vendors and so many options in the space, all of whom have state of the art capabilities. If Anthropic or OpenAI went away tomorrow, just flip to the next vendor with this model. Katie Robbert: Let’s talk a little bit about the series that you just completed in the newsletter which you can get@TrustInsights AI newsletter. You talked a lot about Enterprise AI. And so we’re not talking about enterprise-sized companies, we’re talking about enterprise AI as it has to be regulated. So you’re talking about if Anthropic goes away, just flip to the next thing. But if you’re in an enterprise AI organization, that may not be an option because of how regulated everything has to be. So can you speak a little bit to that? Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. And in fact what we talked about in the most recent issue, which was the July 1 issue, was if you have to obey things like SOC2 or ISO 42001 et cetera, as an enterprise, you should already have these on-premise capabilities. Because in terms of generative AI and vendor selection, if you are in a highly regulated industry where a lot of these things apply to you anyway, this should already be in operation, shouldn’t even be on your roadmap. It should be in operation. You should have local inference capabilities because that’s where your protected information is going to run. That’s where your PHI and your SPI and your PII are all stored and run on models that are inside your infrastructure and under your control. And no data leaves. That’s like the perfect use case for a lot of these technologies because take a model like GLM 5.2, it is an OPUS class model. It is very smart. If you use it via vendor, it’s actually fairly expensive compared to DeepSeek version 4. However, it’s still cheaper than Claude by a 10x. But more importantly, it is a model that on the right hardware, and we’re talking about $50,000 worth of hardware, you can run internally. Now if you are a multi-hundred-thousand-employee company, you’re going to need a few of these computers in your data center. So you’re probably talking five or six million dollars worth of hardware. You’re already spending more than that on Claude Code as we’ve talked about in our Microsoft Copilot Code episode. You’re going to spend that in two months. So you absolutely should have those capabilities internally already. And if you don’t, you are behind. I mean, there’s no polite way to say that. Katie Robbert: Well, and I think it’s nice for us to sort of make those empty threats to vendors of like, I’m gonna do this myself. And then you’re like, I have no idea how to do this. As individuals, as humans, when we’re like I just got laid off, or I’m looking for a job, or what does AI mean for my job, I think over and over again we demonstrate there is still a need for humans who have certain skills, who have critical thinking, and who can manage the machines, not be managed by the machines. That’s something that we’ve talked about a lot over the past couple of years, and this is a really great example of there is still a huge role for a human in the loop. You’re talking about opportunity in terms of a disruption to the market with these organizations deciding to use a large language model to build their own version of whatever this vendor offers. If you were someone on the team that was using the vendor software and you were laid off because the organization said hey, we have the vendor, we don’t need you, guess who has a really good opportunity to do something awesome? You can go and be like well, I know this vendor software inside and out. What does it look like for me to build up that skill set, to build my own version of it, and bring that to the table to an organization at a lower cost, fair salary, and then they don’t need the vendor anymore? Christopher S. Penn: Mm. Yep. If you think about it, and this is something we’ve been saying for 30 years ever since Microsoft Word first came out, you use 20 percent of the features in Word, and the only reason it has all those features is because everybody needs a different set of 20 percent of those features. A law firm has very different use cases for Microsoft Word than we do. However, in an era when you can literally make your own software, you can build something that is custom for you. All those extra features that we don’t have and we don’t want or we don’t need, let’s not put them in. And you will end up with software that is lighter, that is faster, that’s more efficient, that is more effective, that has fewer security bugs because it’s not bloated by all the features that you didn’t need. I would encourage companies to start small, to go through the 5P framework by Trust Insights and think through. Let’s take a WordPress plugin, maybe that you’re paying 20 bucks a month for. What does it do? How do you use it? Your purpose, who uses it? How does it work? What technologies does it rely on? And how do you know that it works? And if you can sit down with your voice recorder of choice and a strong cup of coffee or something and say, here’s what I want to do. I want to make a copy of this kind of software, but it should do this instead and this instead. Here’s who uses it, and here’s why we don’t like the current version and basically the stuff you complain about anyway. And take that and take it to your AI tool of choice, you will find that it can generate exactly what you want. And again, start small. A single plugin, a single utility. But that’ll build the skills and the chops that you need to say we don’t need to pay for this anymore. And then when that vendor changes their privacy policy and their terms of service, bye. Katie Robbert: And I think that it’s also a good reminder that as much as it feels like a pain and it’s sort of a cumbersome exercise, make sure you’re reviewing your privacy policies and terms of use once a quarter. Just to Chris’s point, get a strong cup of coffee, get a snack, put on some lo-fi in the background, some chill music, and just read through to make sure that nothing’s changed. And if something has changed, make sure you’re aware of what’s changed. Companies will say hey, we told you. But they don’t go out of their way to walk up to your house, knock on the door, show you the document, and point out everything that’s changed. They just put it out there. Christopher S. Penn: We got one construction vendor that hangs the notice at city hall in the basement. We followed the letter of the law. Katie Robbert: Yeah, legally, we did what you were supposed to do. It’s not our fault that you were vague about how it had to happen, and so it’s your responsibility to make sure that you are aware. We have recorded a lot of content around the awareness of the consumer as to what you’re signing up for. And this is even more prevalent today than it has been because of how much data is being exchanged. Data is the most coveted currency of all of these vendors. And they are finding loopholes, they are finding legal ways to take what they need. And to be quite honest, they’ve always owned the data. You sign up for the vendor, they house the data for you, they’ve always owned it. It’s the same story unfortunately of you’re renting from a landlord. Landlord can decide tomorrow, I want this building back. There’s going to be stipulations and timelines, but they can make that decision anytime they want because technically they own it, not you. Christopher S. Penn: Yep, this is a chicken farm now. Everybody out. And that is the legal reality. Katie Robbert: And so there’s two aspects to this data sovereignty, right? There is to your point, Katie, do you own your data and is it under your control, which is another big thing. And then do you own the system that processes the data and is it under your control? Christopher S. Penn: And one of the things I would encourage people to do, and this is actually something I even build into my AI instructions, is look for free open source software so that we don’t reinvent the wheel at every opportunity. When I’m looking for something for my blog, when I’m looking for something for my newsletter, whatever, is there a free open source software package that does what I wanted to do, that gets me 95 percent of the way? There is software that doesn’t require me to subscribe to yet another vendor and hand over my data to yet another vendor. And the answer increasingly is yes. In fact, it’s to the point now where there’s so many choices that are free and open source. Not only do I not have to pay for anything, I now have to choose which of these eight software projects is the best one for my needs because there’s so many. And do I want to customize it further for my use? Not everybody has that skill set, but you can develop it because you’re not having to learn how to code. You’re learning how to ask good questions and develop a good vocabulary. Katie, you could do this today using the 5P framework by Trust Insights. Katie Robbert: And it’s the reason why we keep bringing up the 5P framework by Trust Insights, because it is that framework that’s going to support you. It’s foundational. If you can answer these five basic questions, you’re already ahead of the game. When we talk about vibe coding, we want you to do this first. Don’t just open up a large language model and say I want to build my own CRM. Go, no, that’s a bad idea. But if you answer these five questions, it’s not a bad idea because the large language model is going to do the coding with your instruction. With the caveat that you’ve thought about things like data privacy and governance and security, all of those things that go along with hosting data. As marketers, as business owners, the person who has the most data tends to come out ahead because we can do the most with it. And that’s what these vendors are trying to sell you on. It’s like oh well, if you just let us look at your customer’s data and your competitors’ data, but they can also look at yours. Everybody wins, right? No, no, don’t do that. Would I love to take a look at some of my competitors’ data? Absolutely, but only in a very legal way. That also means they couldn’t look at my data. And that’s just not how that works. So you need to think about a couple of things. One is what is your level of risk aversion? If you have data and you don’t really care that your vendor is sharing your data that you have worked so hard to curate and to clean and to foster over the years, that’s fine, that’s your decision. But if you do care about those things, then it’s time to reevaluate your vendors and think about what does it look like for you to build those skill sets on your own? And it’s not impossible anymore. You have a lot of considerations. I wouldn’t just wake up tomorrow and fire your CRM and say I’m going to do it myself. Maybe give it a little more thought than that. But as you’re thinking about it, think about what does it look like? What does that long-term maintenance look like? Could I do this myself? Could I bring on a contractor to help me do this? Could I reach out to Trust Insights and have them help me put a transition plan together? The answer is yes, we could absolutely do that. But it’s worth thinking about. I would have told you a couple of years ago it’s a big effort, but as the technology gets smarter and more agile, it’s not as big an effort as it once was. It is possible. There’s more human upfront thinking that has to be done. But guess what? That’s what we’re here for. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. Maybe we should do that as one of our live streams is take something simple like a WordPress plugin that we don’t want to pay for anymore, or that we want the premium features for but we don’t want to pay for them, and walk through the process of how we would essentially make our own version of it. Katie Robbert: It’s a good idea. Christopher S. Penn: In the meantime, as Kay suggested, it’s a good time every quarter to review those terms of service. Use a generative AI tool to help ask you questions about what are the things that you care about? And then have it help you read through the document. Don’t have it do it for you, but have it help you by asking good questions.

#980 What if the fastest way to get ahead of your competitors was already sitting in an app on your phone? In part 2 of this 2-part episode hosted by Brogan Williams, Jacques Hopkins breaks down exactly how everyday entrepreneurs can start using AI agents today, no Mac Mini or technical setup required. He walks through the three tabs of the Claude app, and makes the case that Cowork is the easiest on-ramp for non-coders who want to connect tools like Gmail and their calendar and start delegating real tasks. Jacques shares the origin story of his AI Operator Bootcamp, born from a retreat where fellow course creators were blown away by what he'd built with Rocky, and reflects on rebranding his business around AI as information becomes commoditized and transformation becomes the real product. He closes with candid advice on what he'd do differently starting out today (hint: audience first, always) and how he stays current in a space that changes by the week! What we discuss with Jacques: + Claude app's three tabs: Chat, Cowork, Code + Cowork as the easy on-ramp for non-coders + Connecting Gmail and calendar via connectors + Natural language works even in Claude Code + VS Code vs. using Claude Code directly + Origin story of the AI Operator Bootcamp + Migrating clients from OpenClaw to Hermes + Why transformation beats information now + Audience-first advice for starting over + Using X lists to stay current on AI Thank you, Jacques!

The person next to you probably paid less for their seat than you did — and you'll never know it. Spencer talks with Sam Hollander, founder of Autopilot (withautopilot.com), about the overlooked art of saving money after you've already booked. Since U.S. airlines killed change fees, you can claw back cash every time your fare drops and snag last-minute premium-cabin upgrades for a fraction of the sticker price. Sam breaks down how to automate all of it, which tools every points-and-miles traveler should be using, and why free elite upgrades are quietly disappearing in 2026. Questions Asked What is Autopilot, and how does it save travelers money after booking? Are you canceling and rebooking the ticket, or filing a claim for the fare difference? What happens if the price drops multiple times? Does this work on codeshare flights? What do you need to share with Autopilot to get started? Does it work if you book with points or miles? How does the pricing and success-fee model work? How do the upgrade-offer alerts work, and do you recommend a bid amount? Do you need a credit card on file for the free tier? What travel tools are you using besides Autopilot? What's most exciting to you in the travel space right now? In 2026, with airlines selling most premium seats, what actually works to get up front? Where can people find you and follow what you're building? Main Topics Covered How the post-COVID end of change fees created the opening for Autopilot Lowest Fare Guarantee: automatic refunds when your booked fare drops $20+ Automation as a money philosophy — low-cost, automated, diversified, simple Importing trips via Gmail sync, email forwarding, or confirmation code Free tier vs. 25% success fee vs. $9.99/mo Pro plan Upgrade-offer bidding and how to judge whether an upgrade is worth it Why 2026 airlines are pulling back on free elite upgrades Day-of-departure price drops and pricing anomalies (business cheaper than premium economy) Best days to book and fly, and why "book now" beats waiting Building Alaska/Atmos Rewards miles through Bilt Autopilot's new hotel repricing feature Resources Mentioned Autopilot (withautopilot.com) MLA & SCRA fee waivers Google Flights (https://www.google.com/travel/flights) Seats.aero (https://seats.aero/) PointsYeah (https://www.pointsyeah.com/landing) ExpertFlyer (https://www.expertflyer.com/) CardPointers (https://cardpointers.com/) Travel Freely (https://travelfreely.com/) Max Rewards (https://maxrewards.com/) Flighty (https://flighty.com/) Bilt Rewards (https://www.bilt.com/) BofA Atmos Rewards Summit card Sam Hollander on X @samhollander_ https://www.withautopilot.com/ Advertiser Disclosure: This video may contain links through which we are compensated when you click on or are approved for offers.

En este episodio Víctor hace balance de tres meses metido de lleno en la inteligencia artificial y responde a la frase que más ha escuchado en todo ese tiempo: «esto la IA no lo puede hacer». Con ejemplos concretos, algunos anecdóticos y otros con implicaciones serias, desmonta barrera tras barrera y anuncia el siguiente reto que tiene en el punto de mira: llevar la contabilidad de su empresa con IA y presentar los impuestos sin gestor. De trabajar con hasta 30 personas en GuideDoc a estar 100% solo y hacerlo todo mejor, más rápido y con mucho más alcance. Si eso ya es posible, ¿qué más puede ser imposible? ¿Quieres ver cómo Víctor aplica todo esto en la práctica? En el episodio Premium de esta semana explica paso a paso cómo ha construido su extensión personalizada de Gmail con dark mode, modo minimal y botones de IA integrados, para que tú puedas replicarlo. → Apúntate al Premium Lo que vas a escuchar De 30 personas a cero: cómo GuideDoc funciona ahora 100% con IA y una sola persona, y por qué el resultado es mejor que antes. «Esto no lo puede hacer la IA»: el patrón que Víctor ha repetido en cada fase y cómo siempre se ha roto. Un videojuego en diez minutos: la prueba de concepto que hizo desde el móvil mientras su hijo veía «Rompe Ralph». El manuscrito de Voynich: Víctor le pasa a Codex uno de los grandes misterios no resueltos de la humanidad y ve qué pasa. El gran reto del año: llevar una contabilidad paralela con IA y presentar los impuestos mejor que un gestor. La cosa que mas le ha costado: crear un Gmail en dark mode real, y el modelo inesperado que lo resolvio. El episodio Premium de esta semana En el episodio Premium Víctor explica en detalle lo que en el episodio normal solo menciona de pasada: El proceso exacto para construir la extensión de Gmail personalizada con dark mode y botones de IA. El modelo de IA inesperado que uso para resolver lo que Claude Code y Codex no pudieron. Como replicarlo tu mismo paso a paso, aunque no sepas programar. El plan de contabilidad paralela con IA: como esta estructurando el experimento y que herramientas esta evaluando. → Apúntate a No es Asunto Vuestro Premium para escuchar el episodio completo. Transcripción del episodio [00:00] De 30 personas a cero: el recorrido de los últimos tres meses Desde que me metí de lleno en esto de la inteligencia artificial, comenzando con pequeños experimentos que he ido contando sobre todo en la parte Premium de No es Asunto Vuestro, hasta llegar al punto en el que estoy ahora: sin contarme a mí, el 100% de todos mis proyectos tiene el 100% de inteligencia artificial. Lo curioso del caso es que por GuideDoc han llegado a pasar, en distintos ámbitos y con distinta implicación, hasta 30 personas. Y ahora estoy 100% solo. Lo digo y se me ponen los pelos de punta. Estoy 100% solo y a nivel de contenido somos mil veces mejores que antes. A nivel técnico, por supuesto, también. Llegamos a muchos más ámbitos, lo hacemos todo mucho mejor, lo hacemos todo mucho más rápido. Ahora mismo estoy trabajando mucho porque hay muchas cosas por implementar. Pero yo podría, una vez que esto esté en marcha, trabajar una centésima parte de lo que trabajaba antes, aun estando solo. Es alucinante. [01:26] La frase que más he oído: «esto no, esto es imposible» Durante todo este recorrido, si queréis saber más detalles de lo que está pasando, lo explico en la parte Premium. Pero lo que más he oído, en todas las fases por las que he pasado, es siempre la misma frase: «no, pero esto, la inteligencia artificial, esto no lo puede hacer». La versión exacta era: «sí, esto que acabas de hacer, sí, pero esto siguiente que dices que vas a hacer, esto no, esto es imposible». Y así en cada fase. Al principio, cuando yo mismo estaba asustado, lo que hice fue una aplicación interna o algún cambio en No es Asunto Vuestro. Y yo iba diciendo que en algún punto quería hacer algo con IA para GuideDoc. GuideDoc es un proyecto muy gordo, muy difícil. Y mucha gente de mi entorno me decía: «hombre, esta aplicación pequeña sí, pero GuideDoc no puedes hacerlo con IA, o AWS, que no se va a enterar de nada». Pues mirad dónde estamos: el 100% de GuideDoc ahora está controlado por mí, pero hecho con inteligencia artificial. Os lo digo una y otra vez: dejad de tener miedo. [02:38] Ejemplos reales de barreras que se han roto Hoy os voy a explicar algunos ejemplos de barreras que en estos dos o tres meses, que parece una eternidad, he visto cómo se iban rompiendo. Hace poco estaba en un encuentro, en Acena, donde había una persona que trabajaba en una consultora que hace CRM enormes para grandes empresas. Me decía exactamente lo mismo: «sí, GuideDoc sí, claro, porque cómo te van a decir que no a algo que ya has demostrado que se puede hacer. Pero lo nuestro es imposible». GuideDoc es un proyecto serio, y ahora mucho más, porque tenemos implementaciones que antes no nos habíamos atrevido a hacer. Estamos en Roku, en LG, en Samsung. Cosas que antes eran muy difíciles y que prácticamente habíamos tirado la toalla. En otro encuentro había una persona del mundo de los videojuegos que estaba buscando inversión para seguir desarrollando. Yo les dije: «oye, ahora es un buen momento, ¿has hablado con algún experto que esté haciendo algo con IA? Porque a lo mejor estos recursos que os faltan se pueden suplir con inteligencia artificial». Me dijeron: «no, es imposible, los videojuegos son demasiado complicados para la IA». Yo no puse la mano en el fuego porque no había investigado. Pero dije: «por lo que he visto con Codex y con Claude, yo diría que a lo mejor algo te puede ayudar». [04:38] Un videojuego en diez minutos desde el móvil El otro día estaba con mi hijo, los dos de Rodríguez porque mi hija y mi mujer estaban en Málaga en un concierto. Fuimos a un salón recreativo y había una maquinita de videojuegos que a mi hijo le volvió absolutamente loco: quería más y más dinero para seguir jugando. Al salir le hice una foto pensando en buscarlo para la Nintendo Switch, la Steam o la PlayStation. Después de comer, mientras mi hijo veía «Rompe Ralph», yo me puse a buscar el juego y no lo encontré en ninguna plataforma. Y entonces dije: «espera un momento», abrí Claude Code desde el móvil, le pasé las capturas que había hecho y le pedí que me hiciera ese mismo videojuego. Me dijo, básicamente, «hold my beer». Y efectivamente, en unos diez minutos me hizo el videojuego: un juego de disparar a botellas y payasos, con un par de pantallas completas, hecho con Godot y C++. Evidentemente es una prueba de concepto, pero si le metes horas, puedes hacer un videojuego. Lo estuve hablando después con Joan Boluda y él también se animó a investigar. Me dijo que hay assets que puedes comprar de artistas, y que luego tú aplicas las físicas o la lógica con tu IA. O sea que sí, se pueden hacer videojuegos. [06:49] El manuscrito de Voynich y la IA Otro ejemplo, en la categoría de «parida de cuñado»: cosas que supuestamente no se pueden hacer con inteligencia artificial. El otro día me salió en Instagram un post sobre los grandes misterios de la humanidad. Uno de ellos era el manuscrito de Voynich. No había oído hablar de él en mi vida. Se trata de un libro ilustrado que nadie sabe qué es: hay plantas, hay cosas de astrología, dibujos de mujeres dentro de líquidos. Y nadie ha podido descifrar qué significan las palabras que aparecen ahí. No se sabe si es una lengua, un cifrado, o simplemente un tío que escribió letras sin sentido. Y entonces, como estoy así todo el rato, dije: «espera un momento». Lo hice con Codex para no gastar tokens del bueno. Me bajé el manuscrito de internet, se lo subí y le pedí que me ayudara a descifrarlo. Estuvo un rato analizando y, sin que yo sepa absolutamente nada del tema, me dijo cosas que afirma que no se sabían hasta entonces: que no es una simple sustitución de letras, que tiene sistemas internos distintos, que las palabras están construidas con una plantilla de prefijo, núcleo y sufijo. Y se aventuró a decir que es un manual medio técnico, medio esotérico, en código, que relaciona plantas con astrología y con el cuerpo de la mujer. Estuve ahí diez minutos. Alguien que le interese el tema y le dedique tiempo puede dar muchos más pasos de los que se habían dado hasta ahora con las herramientas anteriores. [08:54] El reto del año: contabilidad e impuestos con IA Ahora estoy al borde de otro precipicio dentro de No es Asunto Vuestro. Todo el mundo dice: «hombre, esto ya sí que no, esto seguro que no se puede hacer con inteligencia artificial». Y lo tengo marcado como objetivo antes de que acabe el año: presentar los impuestos. Ya sé que mucha gente se habrá puesto las manos en la cabeza ahora mismo, y lo entiendo. Pero mi plan es el siguiente: ¿cómo que con Claude Code o con Codex no puedes llevar la contabilidad de una empresa o de un autónomo y presentar los impuestos mejor que un gestor? ¿Estáis seguros? Todos los pasos que he dado en estos tres meses me llevan a pensar que estoy segurísimo de que se puede hacer. Así que voy a llevar una contabilidad paralela: me voy a crear un gestor paralelo con IA, lo pondré a trabajar en paralelo a lo que hacen mis gestores actuales, y voy a ir comparando resultados mes a mes. Aún no he decidido con qué herramienta lo haré exactamente. Y el objetivo final es que la IA entre en las webs de Hacienda, presente los impuestos y, si llega una inspección, que tenga que ir ella a la Agencia Tributaria. Iré explicando todo este proceso en la parte Premium de No es Asunto Vuestro. [10:38] Lo que más me ha costado: Gmail en dark mode Curiosamente, hay una cosa que se me ha resistido más que el manuscrito de Voynich y más que los videojuegos. Y eso, tocate los huevos, ha sido crear una versión dark mode de Gmail. Eso es lo que más me ha costado de todo lo que he hecho desde que empecé con esto. Seguramente por eso Google tampoco lo ha sacado. Hay una opción de fondo oscuro en Gmail web pero es horrorosa. Yo quería una versión dark mode de verdad. He hecho dos o tres intentos y tanto Claude Code como Codex fueron incapaces. Pero al final, después de unas cuantas vueltas que nunca me esperaba, se me encendió una lucecita. Use un modelo que nunca antes había pensado que necesitaría para esto, y lo conseguí. Me he creado una extensión de Gmail que es espectacular: el Gmail más minimal de la historia en dark mode, que se activa y desactiva con un toggle sin ningún problema, porque a veces prefiero pantalla en blanco según el momento del día. Y de paso me he dejado llevar y he ido añadiendo cosas: un botón para poner gifs, un botón para mejorar el texto que acabo de escribir, un botón para traducirlo. Me he hecho un Gmail absolutamente loco. En la parte Premium de No es Asunto Vuestro os voy a explicar exactamente cómo lo he hecho para que lo podáis hacer vosotros también.

What do you do when you're exhausted, your prayers feel unanswered, and you're wondering if God is listening? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we're diving into Proverbs 30 and one of the greatest life lessons my Pops ever gave me: "Boy, send out a G-mail... and then move on." If you've been battling anxiety, waiting on breakthrough, searching for purpose, or simply trying to trust God in the middle of uncertainty, this conversation is for you.Sometimes the greatest wisdom isn't complicated... it's unforgettable.My Pops had this saying that still echoes in my heart today. Every time I found myself worrying, overthinking, or trying to force an answer, he'd smile and say, "Boy, send out a G-mail." His version of Gmail wasn't about technology—it was about faith. Send your request to God... then trust Him enough to let Him be God.Easier said than done, right?In this Inchstones episode inspired by Proverbs 30, we're talking about what it really means to stop carrying what was never ours to carry. We'll unpack why weariness often points to priorities that have drifted, why checking the "receipts" of God's faithfulness changes everything, and how learning to respect the past, accept the future, and reside in the present creates peace that doesn't make sense.We'll also explore:• Why knowing God helps you understand yourself.• How your words reveal what's really happening in your heart.• Why "more" isn't always better.• The danger of chasing shiny things instead of your purpose.• Why honoring your parents still matters.• How self-discipline becomes a superpower.• Why wisdom is built one Inchstone at a time.• How speaking life transforms the people around you.• Why God's blessings rarely make sense through the world's lens.If you've ever felt spiritually tired, emotionally drained, or simply needed someone to remind you to trust the process, I think this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Remember...Simple isn't always easy. But simple is often exactly what we need.Thank you, Pops. Every time I hear your voice in my head saying, "Boy, send out a G-mail," it reminds me to trust a little more and worry a little less.If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who might need the reminder today. You never know whose breakthrough might begin with one simple conversation.

I was hacked last night and EVERYTHING I used Gmail for (which is a heckuva lot), I've been locked out of. I am receiving NO emails from anywhere, I can't get into YouTube, I can't recover my account in a timely manner because the hacker has changed the login information, the password, and even the recovery phone number. I was finally able to use a different email address to try and recover, but now I have to wait 48 hours for Google to determine if I'm even who I say I am. I will probably be out of commission for a couple of days at least.

On February 4th, the Guthrie children posted a video on Instagram begging for their mother's safe return. That same day, Derrick Callella of Hawthorne, California sent two text messages to Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni: “Did you get the bitcoin were waiting on our end for the transaction.” The FBI arrested him the next day. He used a consumer VOIP app linked to his personal Gmail. The IP address traced to his home. He admitted everything — he had no connection to the case, no information about Nancy. He watched the news and decided to see if a grieving family would pay. FBI Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke called him a total imposter. Callella now faces federal charges with a trial set in Tucson. And the other ransom notes follow the same pattern. No proof of life. Deadlines that pass. Demands for far less than the 1.2 million dollar reward. One sender told TMZ Nancy was dead, then said she was alive in Mexico — same sender, back-to-back messages. Former FBI hostage negotiator Chuck Vecchi explained that real kidnap-for-ransom cases are private and always include proof of life. These notes match opportunism, not kidnapping. Tony Brueski examines the full evidence behind the ransom theory in the final episode of a five-part series.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This conversation goes deeper into the practical mechanics of working with Claude. Heather and Jodi talk through connectors (MCPs that link Claude to tools like Gmail, Google Drive, Asana, and accounting software), skills (saved, reusable instruction sets that replace the old habit of copying and pasting prompts), and what both of them call their AI business brain - a structured foundational document that teaches Claude who you are, what you sell, and how you sound, before you ask it to produce anything. You'll come away with a clear starting point: build the foundation first, connect the tools you already use, and create one simple skill - Jodi's suggestion is a daily "morning coffee" briefing - before trying to do anything more ambitious. Key Takeaways AI output defaults to generic. The fix isn't a better prompt - it's a structured foundation document (Jodi calls hers the Hospitality Brand Bible; Heather calls hers her Business Brain) that teaches the model your business, voice, and audience before you ask it to create anything. Building that foundation properly is not a five-minute job. Heather recommends setting aside the better part of a day and using reverse prompting - asking Claude to interview you, question by question, until it has a full picture of your business. Connectors (MCPs) link Claude directly to the tools already in use - Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Asana, accounting platforms - so requests can be carried out end to end instead of copying information back and forth manually. Skills replace the old habit of maintaining a library of saved prompts. A skill is a reusable, named instruction set that automatically pulls in the right reference documents and brand voice without being told to every time. The recommended first skill for anyone starting out is a daily briefing - a "morning coffee" routine that summarizes email, flags anything unanswered, and reviews the calendar - because it is simple, immediately useful, and teaches the basics of how skills work. AI will hallucinate and occasionally get things wrong with total confidence. Both hosts were emphatic that nothing goes out the door - a guest bio, an email, an Instacart order - without a human checking it first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In this solo episode, Axel gets highly tactical on the one thing every real estate investor should be doing right now to get the most out of AI — regardless of which tools they use, how big their portfolio is, or how tech-savvy they are. The answer isn't a new app or a prompt hack. It's building context: the foundational informational backend of your business that allows AI tools like Claude to actually understand your company, your portfolio, and your goals well enough to do meaningful work on your behalf.Axel opens up his own Notion workspace and walks through exactly what Aligned Real Estate Partners has built — from company information and brand voice to portfolio dashboards, transaction coordination, and vendor contacts. He also shares specific real-world use cases: auto-completing loan applications, running weekly email analyses to identify new automation opportunities, and having Claude keep the Notion database updated on its own.This episode is essential listening for any investor or operator who wants to build a real estate business that scales with AI — not one that uses AI as a party trick.Join us as we dive into:Why Axel recommends Notion as the informational backbone of your real estate business — and why it integrates cleanly with Claude, Google Drive, Gmail, and other tools.The new employee analogy: why giving AI context is exactly like training a new hire, and why most people skip this step entirely.A walkthrough of Aligned's Notion workspace: company information, brand voice, mission and values, organizational chart, glossary, lessons learned, software tools, and business history.Why uploading monthly property management statements to Notion creates a living dashboard that Claude can analyze and reference at any time.How Claude is integrated with Axel's Gmail, calendar, Notion, and Beehiiv — and what becomes possible once those connections are live.The 21-day email analysis scheduled task: how Axel uses Claude Cowork to identify workflows that can be automated or removed from his plate entirely.The rent comp use case: how Claude now automatically runs a rent comp search and drafts a renewal offer whenever a lease renewal email appears in the inbox.The weekly vendor discovery task: Claude scans the last seven days of email, flags new contacts worth adding to Notion, and updates the database with one click.Are you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?
