On today's episode I stress-test Gemini 3.0 in Google AI Studio to see how good it really is as a designer, not just a code generator. Across the episode, I ask Gemini to redesign my personal website in a Windows XP–inspired style, build a restaurant analytics SaaS dashboard, and create a workout mobile app inspired by the “Brain Rot” app. Along the way, I experiment with prompts, visual annotations, and reference images to see how well Gemini takes feedback. By the end, he's rating each build. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:54 – Personal Website 15:48 – SaaS 21:52 – Mobile App 26:35 – AntiGravity 27:17 – Final rating and takeaways Key Points Gemini 3.0 can now generate full, styled web and mobile UIs (not just “purple Tailwind vibe-coded” layouts) when given strong prompts and references. greg-take-02 A Windows XP–themed personal site, built from a screenshot and a short prompt, impresses Greg enough that he considers redoing his actual homepage. greg-take-02 Visual annotation inside Google AI Studio (drawing on the canvas and commenting) is a powerful way to refine icons, backgrounds, and layout without “speaking designer.” greg-take-02 A restaurant analytics SaaS dashboard (“Chef OS”) shows how combining Dribbble shots + Teenage Engineering hardware as references pushes Gemini toward more tactile, “real button” UI. greg-take-02 The “Gains” workout app, modeled on the Brain Rot app, demonstrates that AI can remix an existing product pattern into a new behavior-change app with streaks, goals, and a reactive mascot. greg-take-02 Greg's big takeaway: good ideas + taste + references + Gemini 3.0 let non-designers ship highly differentiated experiences, raising their odds of standing out. greg-take-02 The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.com LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.

Get a private, on-screen walkthrough of Google's new Gemini 3.0 with Logan Kilpatrick. We vibe-code full apps, games, and product UIs in real time. You'll see how to go from raw idea to working product in a single prompt, then iterate visually with design, features, and AI workflows. They turn an IdeaBrowser concept into a live talent-matching platform, screenshot-clone the IdeaBrowser UI, wire up a “generate tomorrow's idea” feature grounded in Google Search, and even add co-founder matching on top. If you're building with AI or still on the fence, this episode shows what's now possible with Gemini 3.0 Pro in AI Studio. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 01:00 – What Gemini 3 is and where it lives (Gemini app, AI Studio, API) 03:03 – Vibe Coding 3D games 09:27 – Vibe Coding an idea from IdeaBrowser 25:02 – Screenshot-cloning the IdeaBrowser UI and regenerating it in Gemini Key Points Gemini 3.0 Pro in AI Studio lets you “vibe code” full apps—UI, logic, and AI features—from natural-language prompts, then iteratively refine them. Games and complex simulations are a stress-test and showcase for the model's capabilities, not just toys. You can paste an entire business idea (like IdeaBrowser's generational talent-matching concept) into AI Studio and get a working, multi-screen product with AI-powered workflows. Gemini 3.0 Pro is free to use inside AI Studio up to generous limits, and the API is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $12 per million output tokens under 200K input tokens. Screenshot-driven UI cloning plus “add five more features” prompts are powerful loops for product and UX ideation. You can layer social features like co-founder matching directly on top of idea-discovery products with only a few additional prompts.

Master Your Cashflow (Templates Included): https://startup-ideas-pod.link/money-map On this episode, I share my simple financial operating system that helps me run my business. I share actual workflows that have saved one of my portfolio company from an 11-week runway crisis (when they thought they had 8 months), and the templates behind his 13-week cash tracker, Bear/Base/Bull decision framework, and one-page board report. This is a rare look inside the tactics I use to think about cash flow, dilution strategy, and building companies that don't run out of runway by accident.

New format, same value. I cover one startup idea, one trend, one news debate, one growth framework, one AI tool, and one product recommendation. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:53 – Startup Idea 05:55 – Trend 08:17 – News Item 12:05 – Product Framework 15:31 – AI Tool 17:00 – Product Recommendation Startup Idea Solo Female Travel Safety Platform The problem: 84% of solo female travelers feel unsafe. No reliable platform answers basic safety questions. The solution: Map-based reviews where verified female travelers rate neighborhoods, hotels, and restaurants on actual safety metrics. Path to $500K ARR: 5,000 members at $30/month Hotel safety certifications at $500/month Lead magnet: Free travel safety quiz Distribution: Facebook groups (400K members), travel influencers, short-form video Trend: Gamification UI: Duolingo did it. Social platforms are built on it. More apps and websites are adding points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges. The opportunity: Launch an agency specializing exclusively in gamification. Start at $10K/month. News Item Ex-Reddit CEO: "AI Startups Have 12-18 Months" Yishan's viral take (20M views): AI apps are flash-in-the-pan cash grabs. Foundational models will crush them. Greg's counter: Great AI wrappers that own workflows, customers, and network effects will build billion-dollar companies. Remember when everyone said Apple would clone every successful app? That didn't happen. Product Framework: 3-Step Creator Growth Playbook for SaaS Attach the right creator (target 120K followers or less for higher response rates) Offer generous affiliates (30-50% lifetime, not 10-20%) Gamify the experience (contests, trips, prizes for top performers) Real example: Goji (apple cider vinegar gummy) hit hundreds of millions using gamified TikTok Shop affiliates. AI Tools: Krea AI: Alternative to Glyph AI. Generate images, video, 3D objects. Features Nodes product for building creative workflows. Mini apps: Virtual try-on, hairstyle generator, object remover, product photo editor. Product Recommendations: La Colombe Cold Brew (Light Roast) - $5-8.49 at Target for multiple servings. Light, smooth, always cold when you need it. Olipop Classic Root Beer - 35 cal, 3g sugar. Better than Diet Coke. 8.5/10.

“And we got a new Beatles song. I can't believe we're talking about the Beatles…. But John Lennon recorded a really corrupted vocal before he tragically died, and it was just kind of there because of some stem separation tech that is only possible because of machine learning. They were able to clean up the vocals, fully on board with the John Lennon estate and the remaining Beatles members, and there's a few others, but this is interesting. It's just, it's a new way of engaging with audio that people, fans are showing that they really like.” – Drew ThurlowThis episode's guest is a former professional musician turned music executive and strategist. He served as Senior Vice President of A&R at Sony Music and has held leadership roles at both Pandora and Warner Music. As a graduate of Brown University with a master's in Technology and Leadership, he blends creative insight with business acumen.

I would so appreciate that.(0:00:00) - Evolution of Music Industry and TasteOur conversation starts off with Drew's early memories of sound and his start as a musician. “I was one of those kids,” he recalls, “who just didn't have idle time without a guitar in my hands, and I didn't think too much about it. I wasn't super self-reflective about it, I just kind of like followed my instincts and continued to do that.” He tells us more about his career journey as a music executive and explains how much the business has changed since he first started out. “There's the whole influencer thing wrapped up in it,” he says, “and the way people, especially Gen Z and younger millennials, fall in love with personalities and artists is different. It's not necessarily bad, it's just different.”(0:12:36) - AI Impact on Music IndustryAs the first half of our discussion wraps up, we turn to the question of whether AI might replace human artists, and Drew offers some surprising statistics. “From our best, really good estimates by places like Deezer and Spotify,” he says, “AI-generated music, even though it's a measurable percentage of all the songs on [digital service providers], is a third of a percent of the royalty pool, and I just want to reiterate that it is a rounding error. Nobody wants this music.” He shares his thoughts on where AI is heading and some of the ways it might help transform the music industry. “On the business side,” he tells us, “there's a lot of evidence that these fans want to engage with music in cool and interesting ways, and these AI tech tools allow them

Il y évoque l'importance de « nouer de nouvelles synergies pour développer et structurer le marché francophone africain ».Un autre exemple marquant : sous son leadership, un « songwriting camp » s'est tenu à Abidjan, réunissant plus de 20 artistes, producteurs et auteurs venus de plusieurs pays d'Afrique. L'objectif : faire émerger une dynamique créative véritablement panafricaine. Aujourd'hui, dans cet épisode, Marc-André partage avec nous :comment il a navigué entre différents rôles pour se forger une vision stratégique de la musique en Afrique francophone,comment il traduit cette vision en actions concrètes pour faire “monter” le marché,quelles sont les clés pour les talents africains, les partenaires et les organisations souhaitant réussir dans cet écosystème.Préparez-vous à un échange riche, sincère, orienté vers l'action : un vrai mentorat pour tous ceux qui travaillent dans la transformation, la culture, les partenariats ou l'innovation sur le continent.Prenez vos notes, car les enseignements sont autant stratégiques que pratiques — et pleinement applicables à des contextes de transformation plus larges, bien au-delà du simple secteur musical.Let start

Über Leidenschaft als Antrieb, gute Nachrichten und echte Relevanz. Fabian Schütze nimmt die Musikbranche regelmäßig mit Low Budget High Spirit unter die Lupe und ordnet aktuelle Entwicklungen meinungsstark ein. Als Stammgast im Redfield Podcast ist er jetzt erneut zu Gast. Dabei gibt er auch Einblicke in seine Projekte: Schütze berichtet unter anderem über das neue Low Budget High Spirit-Magazin, das bereits zum fünften Mal in gedruckter Form erscheint, sowie über das zweite erfolgreiche Newsletter-Projekt Ein Song reicht, das mit dem Preis für Popkultur ausgezeichnet wurde. Dabei wird deutlich: Das Vorantreiben neuer Ideen, aber auch das Festhalten an bewährten Konzepten, erfordert vor allem eines: Leidenschaft als Antrieb. Fabian Schütze spricht mit Gastgeber Alexander Schröder über die Zukunft von Artists, Agenturen und Labels. Sie diskutieren, wie eine Musikagentur der Zukunft aussehen könnte, werfen aber auch einen Blick auf die Gegenwart und die aktuelle Stimmung in der Branche: etwa auf drastische Einsparungen bei Warner Music, die nebulöse KI-Ankündigung von Spotify zur Entwicklung „verantwortungsvoller“ KI-Musikprodukte und auf Veränderungen in Social Media. Außerdem gibt es einen Ausblick zum Redfield Podcast selbst. Es geht viel um Haltung, Kreativität – und die Frage, warum Leidenschaft manchmal wichtiger ist als Monetarisierung. www.lowbudgethighspirit.com www.einsongreicht.de www.golden-ticket.de

Universal Music en Warner Music staan op het punt om meerdere licentiedeals met AI-ontwikkelaars te sluiten, melden ingewijden aan de Financial Times. Nu is het nog zo dat veel muziek zonder toestemming gebruikt wordt om AI-modellen te trainen, maar dankzij de deals moet daar een einde aan komen. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens de ingewijden zijn Universal en Warner bezig met een model waarmee AI-ontwikkelaars per stream gaan betalen voor hun muziek, net zoals muziekplatformen zoals Spotify al doen. Die betalen artiesten een klein bedrag voor elke keer dat iemand hun nummer luistert. Het is nog niet duidelijk of dat ook op die manier voor AI-ontwikkelaars gaat werken, omdat die nummers honderden tot duizenden keren kunnen streamen als ze een model trainen. Wat de deals betekenen voor de rechtszaken die Universal en Warner tegen verschillende AI-ontwikkelaars hebben aangespannen is nog niet duidelijk. Samen met Sony Music hebben de platenmaatschappijen in juni nog AI-muziekplatformen Suno AI en Udio AI, die ook betroken zouden zijn bij de deals, voor de rechter gesleept. Verder in deze Tech Update: Apple stopt met de ontwikkeling van de opvolger van de Vision Pro om zo snel mogelijk een tegenhanger voor Meta's nieuwe slimme bril op de markt te krijgen Duizenden mensen in de Amerikaanse staat Texas hadden urenlang geen internet nadat een verdwaalde kogel een glasvezelkabel doorboorde See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider where we dive deep into how brands can leverage short-form content creators instead of traditional influencers to achieve better marketing ROI. He breaks down the economics of creator partnerships ($900/month for daily content across platforms vs. $2,000 for a single influencer post) and demonstrates how the for-you-page algorithm allows creators with zero followers to potentially reach massive audiences. The strategy works particularly well for mobile apps, e-commerce products, and services with straightforward value propositions. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:26 - Why Short-Form Marketing? 02:55 - Creator vs. Influencer Marketing Explained 04:41 - Micro-Creator Strategy Overview 11:43 - Case study of Focus Tree app using creator marketing 16:04 - How to Find and Work with Creators 19:49 - The Drawbacks of this Strategy 20:27 - Tools for Managing and Tracking Campaign Performance 22:56 - Final Thoughts and Conclusions Key Points: • Creator marketing is more cost-effective than traditional influencer marketing, especially for mobile apps and B2C products • For-you-page algorithms have changed how content reaches audiences, making follower count less important than content quality • Working with multiple creators (5-10) creates a compound learning effect where successful formats can be shared across the team • This strategy works best for products with simple value propositions that can be purchased impulsively on mobile devices The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.com LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.

Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about the power of using YouTube Creators for influencer marketing. Cody explains a step-by-step playbook for acquiring customers through YouTube creator partnerships. The strategy involves reaching out to 100+ creators in your niche, offering a three-video package plus affiliate commission, identifying which creators drive the most conversions, then putting top performers on monthly retainers. This creates a scalable system where you eventually have dozens of creators regularly making content about your product, with trackable ROI through affiliate links. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:03 - Why partner with Youtube Creators 04:38 - How to find and contact YouTube creators 08:11 - Crafting the email and follow-up strategy 09:26 - Overview of the Strategy 14:42 - The value of underpriced attention 19:12 - The numbers and scaling the process 22:06 - Biggest Bottleneck 22:50 - Automating the process 24:47 - Why start now Key Points: • YouTube creators + affiliate marketing is an effective strategy for getting initial customers, especially for SMB products with one killer feature • The strategy works by reaching out to creators, having them make videos about your product, and giving them affiliate commissions • This is a marketing arbitrage opportunity because many smaller creators (10k-50k subscribers) don't know how to properly price themselves • The goal is to identify underpriced creators, test them, then put the best performers on retainer to create monthly content The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.com LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.

Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about AI Search. Cody explains that while AI search (GEO) is generating buzz, it currently represents a small portion of overall search volume compared to traditional search engines. The value lies in highly qualified leads, with conversion rates of 10-40% from AI search traffic. To optimize for AI search, businesses need to identify which URLs are being referenced by AI for relevant queries and work to get their brand mentioned on those pages. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:51 - What is GEO/AI search? 02:18 - Who GEO is most effective for? 08:16 - How AI search actually functions 12:31 - Tools and strategies for optimizing for AI search 16:45 - Why are people obsessed with GEO 19:56 - Discussion of available tracking tools 22:41 - Final Thoughts on AI Search and GEO Key Points: • GEO (AI Search) refers to search queries through AI platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini • AI search works by expanding user queries into multiple derivative searches, then scraping top Google results • Most effective for businesses with long purchasing decision timelines (SaaS, local service businesses) • Success requires getting your brand mentioned on multiple high-ranking pages that AI references The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.com LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
