The Next Build Podcast
by Mason McCumber
The Next Build is for business owners who are ready to go from executor to operator. Host Mason McCumber, SEO expert, AI automation consultant, and founder of M&M Solutions and Consulting shares how to go from manual execution to orchestrated leverage. You’ve been the driver. Prompting, coding manually, doing the work yourself. Now it's time to be the dispatcher. Each episode provides practical frameworks for agentic workflows, memory systems, and the real-world challenges of managing AI as a team member. No hype. There are no promises of “set it and forget it.” Just real conversations about tools that work repeatably at scale and building systems that actually work.
