I Almost Hired an Editor-in-Chief. I Built One Instead.

from eComFuel Podcast

What happens when a business owner spends 40 hours building their own AI-powered workflow system instead of hiring another employee? In this episode, I share what I learned after diving deep into Claude Code and building a custom content operations platform designed to streamline idea capture, content creation, scheduling, analytics, and workflow management. You'll learn how AI coding tools are changing the way founders operate, why business owners need to become fluent in AI workflows, and how custom-built systems can dramatically improve efficiency, quality, and consistency. Listen in to hear about the practical realities of building with AI, including the costs, mistakes, mindset shifts, and workflows that helped me move faster. I also talk about why trust is becoming one of the biggest barriers to using AI effectively, how I trained tools to better reflect my voice and ideas, and why I believe the future of teams will revolve around people who are either exceptional with people… or exceptional with AI.
