The Jake Woodhouse Podcast

Most people using AI are re-writing emails or summarising documents. That's fine. But this episode is about something different — using Claude as a daily operational co-pilot to actually build things. Over the last week and a half I built two separate marketing funnels from scratch. One organic, one paid. Different audiences, different entry points, different conversion paths. I'm not a software developer. I'm a podcast host running a productised consulting business from Byron Bay, whilst homeschooling three kids. Every time I hit a wall — a WordPress setting I didn't understand, a DNS record I was terrified to touch, a ConvertKit automation I couldn't figure out, a Linkedin Ad setting I didn't understand — I took a screenshot, sent it to Claude, and got unstuck in minutes. That's the episode. Not theory. Not a tutorial. What this actually looks like in practice. What's covered: The two-funnel structure: organic (podcast + Apollo cold email → lead magnet → nurture sequence) and paid (LinkedIn ads → dedicated landing page → free discovery call) The "screenshot workflow" — the simplest way to use AI when you're stuck in an unfamiliar tool Building a lead magnet page in WordPress with no prior experience Creating a five-email nurture sequence in ConvertKit, including the automation logic The DNS records moment — being told exactly which one not to touch, and why Designing ad creative in Canva, setting up audience targeting, and building the landing page for paid traffic Why the master thread / sub-thread / project file structure makes every prompt more powerful Links: Download the free AI self-assessment: jakewoodhouse.io/self-assessment Book your AI Assessment ($999, Report-Pays-For-Itself guarantee): jakewoodhouse.io/ai-assessment

I sell a $999 AI Assessment to Australian small businesses. Last Thursday I ran it on my own business — same call, same interview questions, same Claude prompt, same Gamma report, no shortcuts. The report told me to do something I hadn't seriously considered: cold email outreach to Australian accountants using a tool called Apollo, with my own self-assessment PDF as the proof piece. Something that wasn't even on my radar a week ago, just this morning at 9am, fired out it's first batch of 10 emails. Honest point: I don't know if it works. Two weeks left in the proof window to find out! The entire report — the exact PDF a paying client receives — is linked below.

A friend mentioned a story to me last week. Somewhere in suburban Texas, a pool builder has allegedly built an autonomous AI agent that scans satellite imagery for affluent homes without pools, renders a luxury pool into the actual backyard, estimates the build cost, and mails a personalised postcard with a QR code. No human in the loop. Tens of thousands of homes. Inbound qualified leads. I haven't independently verified the operator. What I have verified is that every component of the workflow is real, accessible, and being discussed openly across Reddit, LinkedIn, and the AI builder community. And the deeper insight — the one that actually matters — is that AI has just collapsed the cost of hyper-personalised outbound marketing by four to five orders of magnitude. For the first time in marketing history, this kind of campaign is economically viable for local-service businesses. In this episode I walk through the workflow step by step, dig into the unit economics, name the ethical pushback, and pull it into what it means for Australian small business owners — landscapers, fencers, solar installers, granny flat builders, kitchen renovators. Someone is going to do this in your industry in 2026. The only question is who.

Three months ago, at 4am, my net worth had just halved. Bitcoin had crashed and I'd been heavily exposed. Three kids asleep upstairs, wife asleep. I sat at the laptop and typed one question into ChatGPT: how do I make money? That rabbit hole became the AI Assessment business I now run, and it became this episode. This is the actual workflow. The system I copied from my wife. The verification layer that handles AI hallucination. The exact stack producing this podcast — and why I cancelled Buffer this morning. Why the next decade of business building looks nothing like the last one. And the real numbers from real clients: Pete the chartered accountant, $17,400 a month found in a 20-minute call. Mat the landscaper, $1,500 a month sitting in his invoicing alone. If you run an Australian business and you've known for a while that AI matters but haven't really started — this is for you.

Ten days ago I sent an SMS to my warm network offering a free AI Business Assessment. Five business owners said yes. By Friday, I'd run five 20-minute calls, delivered five custom AI roadmaps, and identified between $1,560 and $17,400 of monthly value waiting to be unlocked. Lewis, a construction and landscaping director in Melbourne, replied: "What once felt overwhelming now feels exciting."

On New Year's Day 2009 my dad died. Within two years I'd inherited capital I had no idea how to manage. What followed was 17 years of expensive decisions — wealth managers, angel investing, real estate, and Bitcoin, you name it, and I've had a crack at it, whilst recently I've been through a 60% drawdown that brought everything into sharp focus. This episode is the honest story of what happened, what it cost, and what I built from it. Including the text message exchange with a close friend — right at the hardest moment — that has became the foundation of everything I now share. Sound Money. Sound Mind. Sound Marriage. This is The Durable Man. If this resonates, please reach out: [email protected]

In this episode of the podcast I was joined by Andi Pitt, a venture capitalist in the Bitcoin space, and former member of a cult. She discusses the concept of mind control, its prevalence in society, and its implications for individual cognitive sovereignty and democracy. This was a truly mind-bending conversation. We discussed cults and mind control, the Iranian regime, education as a tool for indoctrination, the idea of cognitive sovereignty, Bitcoin and personal freedom, VC in the Bitcoin industry today, and finally the impact of meditation with self-awareness. So much to learn from someone like Andi.

In this episode I spoke with Roland. He run's me through how he's used OpenClaw, and Bitcoin, to create an open‑source personal assistant, that runs on its own LN‑VPS server, pays for AI model usage via Pay‑Per‑Q, and can autonomously spawn new agents to handle tasks like email, GitHub, and continuous research. He also explains how Alby’s self‑custodial Alby Hub ties all Lightning‑enabled apps together, making Bitcoin the native currency for everyday software. Listeners will learn how to boost productivity, automate workflows, and build Bitcoin‑first products using always‑on AI agents without sacrificing privacy. The future is already here, most just don't realise it yet… Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome and Roland's Bali Bitcoin Story 1:18 The Rise of Open Claw 3:36 Setting Up a GitHub Account for Open Claw 6:08 Autonomous Agent Onboarding with Bitcoin 11:49 AI as a Tool for Productivity 17:56 AI, Sound Money, and Human Potential 20:05 Open Claw: A Personal, Always-Online Agent 25:40 How Roland Uses Open Claw Day to Day 30:06 Business Models for AI Agents 34:20 Paying for Open Claw and AI Models 37:21 The Open Source Advantage 43:38 Alby's Mission: Bring People to Bitcoin 57:07 Lightning Network Growth and Adoption 1:01:41 Final Thoughts Get in touch with Roland: Nostr: npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef X: https://x.com/rolznz Get in touch with me: Email: [email protected] Thank you Best, Jake

In this conversation, I spoke with Red Tail Hawk, and we explored the themes of education, homeschooling, and the lifelong process of learning. We discuss the importance of self-directed learning, curiosity, and the role of parents in shaping a child's educational journey. The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on education and the necessity of developing critical thinking skills in a rapidly changing world. Red emphasized that education should be about making memories and fostering a love for learning, rather than merely acquiring knowledge.

This week, I spoke with David Parkinson, an entrepreneur deep in the Bitcoin journey, turning his passion into a reality. No-one said this was easy, but it sure is interesting! Musqet is a very exciting business, and an example of where I see things going long-term, with practical implementations of Bitcoin in the real world.

In this episode I spoke with Scott Dedels—author of The Dao of Bitcoin and founder of Block Rewards—who's delved deep into how Daoist thinking can smooth the roller‑coaster that is life. He recounts how a basketball coach’s gift, The Tao of the Jump Shot, sparked a lifelong study of Daoism, which later merged with his work in the corporate world, and his discovery of Bitcoin as a tool to reclaim “time” from inflationary, attention‑draining systems. By practicing the Daoist middle‑path—doing enough without over‑forcing—Scott helped to teach me how to stay calm amid price swings, avoid the trap of endless consumption, and focus on what truly matters. He also explains Block Rewards, a B2B SaaS business that he's building, and a company with huge potential. 0:17 Scott on his second Bitcoin book and Block Rewards 2:09 The origin of Daoism in Scott's life 5:42 Mapping Bitcoin as a thing of nature 7:20 Bitcoin as a life raft or source of frustration 11:08 Scott on his "fiat career" and Daoist lens 14:30 The historical context of Daoism 20:53 Universal truths and approach to conflict 24:18 Bitcoin, Daoism, and the theft of time 31:11 Solving the wealth problem with Bitcoin 41:42 Block Rewards: Making money in and around Bitcoin If you want to reach out to Scott: Nostr: npub1eawxwqldulz8rn80jug6n63seyn8pwelm9mmu7rdt622lfj7am9qgem0rx BlockRewards: https://blockrewards.ca/ If you want to reach out to me: Nostr: npub1ltz38gwwmmg740r5qlqjn96gth5thv5wmhkwlgqks9lu3485q7jsy6k4fh Email: [email protected] Website: https://jakewoodhouse.io/ If you want to give value-4-value: Via Fountain: boosts and all streams are split 50% with the guest Via Nostr: zaps always welcome Thank you Best, Jake

In this conversation I spoke with Contra, and dove deep into the concept of a “thought‑criminal”, - anyone who refuses to let algorithms and institutional “thought‑police” dictate what they believe or share. Using a recent Nostr post as a springboard, we explored why the emerging Purpleverse of Nostr, combined with Bitcoin’s monetary sovereignty, offers a practical antidote to the outrage‑driven, profit‑first models of legacy social media. Keep an ear out for insights into Contra's personal evolution - from a turbulent childhood, and a stint in the military, to a family‑centered life grounded in faith - showing how each stage sharpened his awareness of systemic control, and sparked a quest for genuine freedom.

In this episode I spoke with Jeff G, it was fascinating, and lived up to all my expectations. In a world where private messaging is still vulnerable to metadata harvesting and single‑point failures, Jeff explains how Nostr’s relay‑based architecture and true end‑to‑end encryption can finally give users control over their own conversations. He also reveals a sustainable, non‑profit model that keeps the service free from ads and corporate pressure; critical for building truly censorship‑resistant communication tools. Tune in to learn the technical breakthroughs and the roadmap that could reshape digital privacy over the next year.

To kick off the New Year in style, I have an episode of the highest quality for you, with Jesse Shrader. If you ever wonder "what is actually being built on top of Bitcoin?" then look no further. I asked Jesse: "Why would it be useful to have Stablecoins on the Lightning Network?" "If Bitcoin is like Gold, do you think the lightning network is like using Bronze?" "How many Lightning nodes exist?" "How many Lightning channels exist?" "What kind of volume can the Lightning Network do?" "Are you doing a financing round?" "How does Amboss make money?"

This episode covered a topic I love: capital. Tune in to learn from Rev Hodl, who with a permaculture lens, runs us through how he grows, manages, and protects multiple forms of capital, all at the same time. I asked Rev: "What is capital?" "How does permaculture look to develop savings?" "How bullish are you?" "Where are we in the adoption curve?" "Do you like to make experiments?" "What is a mad scientist?" "How does permaculture approach debt?" "What does a day look like when you're managing a homestead?"

In today's episode I am speaking with Dan Ostermayer MD. It's a true "mind-bender" of a conversation, digging into some recent scientific research that re-ignites the age-old discussion between Germ Theory and Terrain Theory. I asked Dan: "What was the recent research that caught your attention?" "Through your medical education did you even discuss terrain theory?" "Are vaccinations pointless?" "Could you envisage any major change to the system?" "What is your day job like?" "How did you come across Bitcoin?" "How many other people have you managed to persuade Bitcoin is a good idea?" "How excited are you about the future?"

Today's episode is with BTC BACKPACKER. I am sure you'll enjoy this just as much as I did. A great example of Nostr doing a brilliant job at connecting people, helping them share their story, and work towards their vision of life. I asked: "What are you working on right now that you're most excited about?" "Was homeschooling something that came along as part of the process?" "What do you think was the root cause of your wife's cancer?" "What did the Bitcoin journey make you learn?" "How important from a position of decision-making power was it to be debt free?" "How did you start learning about Bitcoin?" "Have you created a process that you go through to create content?" "What does homeschooling mean to you?"
