    Episode 2161 - Vibe Coding Bugs and the Workflow Fix

    Today is day 15 of my 30-day AI experiment, the halfway point. The aim is to take a business concept to profitability in 30 days, with AI doing 90% of the work. I built no new modules. Most of my time went on fixing bugs in modules I had already built, and rebuilding some which were not fit for purpose.In this episode I explain the difference between small AI requests, which are easy, and large modules, which need structure. I walk through BILD, the prompt structure I use: Breakdown, Initiate, Limitations and Done for you result. Then I share what today taught me. A breakdown needs a simple workflow in stages, so the AI understands the order of the journey, not only the description. My estimate is this halves the time spent on iteration, testing and bug fixing. That is an estimate from limited use, and I will keep checking.I also talk about the heat on today's run. It was 24 degrees, which my body treats as about 34, so I was breathing harder than usual. I am behind on my output and expect some weekend work to catch up. I accept that, because consistency means the bad days count too.This is consecutive day 2,161, 16,591.88km into the 40,075km lap of the world, with 23,483.12km to go. The aim is to raise £1M for children's causes.

    Episode 2113 - Grassroots Football Referee: The Match I Wish I Could Forget

    Today is Day 2113 of my daily run streak, and I am talking about my worst experience as a grassroots football referee. I help run my oldest son's under 15s team, and this is my tenth year with the group. A local derby turned toxic. Half of the opposition were lovely lads, but the noise from some players, coaches and parents made the game hard to control. I showed two yellow cards. One of them deserved a red, and I explain why I chose a yellow. We equalised a minute and a half from the end of added time, then a player tried to start a fight, and his own coach had to bring him to the ground at the final whistle. Nobody was hurt. Some players would not shake my hand. The lesson for me is perspective. Children's football exists so children stay fit, enjoy a team game and learn to win and lose with respect. Adults set the standard, and the children copy it. I also reflect on discipline. A referee makes a call, accepts the consequences and returns the next week. A daily run asks the same of me. I have now covered 16,246.89km, with 23,828.11km left on my 40,075km lap of the world, all in support of a £1M target for children's causes. If you coach, assist or referee youth football, I would like to hear how you handle a touchline like this one. #grassrootsfootball #refereelife #respectinsport #streakrunning #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/whRrYP_QuXE

    Episode 2160 - Financial Clarity for Business Owners Using AI: Day 14 and Run

    Financial clarity is something many business owners lack, and it is the problem I focused on today. This is day 14 of my 30-day AI experiment, where I am taking one business concept to profit with AI doing 90% of the workload as the target. I am about halfway, still on track, and aware of how much work remains.Today I built accounts payable modules for fixed and variable costs, finished the credit control process, and completed a Slack interface so contractors in the field can use the software from their phones. I explain why I built finance this way, and why I think many owners are better served by clear, real-time information than by accounting terminology.I also talk about the pressure. The experiment began as a relaxed test. As the product has become more complete, I feel a greater duty to make it reliable before the first test clients arrive. I cover how I manage that alongside my other businesses, and why I am using the Claude Max 5x plan to show you do not need a large subscription.This is consecutive day 2160 of my daily barefoot-style run. I have covered 16,584.61km of the 40,075km lap of the world, with 23,490.39km remaining. I do this every day to raise £1M for children's causes. Consistency matters more to me than intensity, and I want to keep going for 16.5 years in total. #aiforbusiness #businessfinance #streakrunning #consistency #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/L-OvvCvAU58

    Episode 2159 - Vibe Coding Takes Longer Than You Think: Day 12 of 30

    Vibe coding takes longer than most social media content suggests. Today is day 12 of my 30 day AI experiment, where I am taking a business concept to profitability using AI for 90% of the workload. This is also consecutive day 2159 of my running streak.At the start of the week I had 29 modules left to build. To finish on time I need three or four a day. Yesterday I completed four. Today I completed three, or close to it. We are on track.Today I built a transactions module that handles about 8,000 records, an accounts module with a live feed alert, and a Slack bot that lets external contractors manage their tasks without opening the full web app. The big builds took one to three hours each. The time goes into error checking, bug fixing, the user experience and the stability of the software.I am honest about the outcome. We will have software ready for sale by day 30. Whether it makes a sale is still to be determined.The discipline is the same as the running. I have covered 16,577.44km, with 23,497.56km left to complete 40,075km. I do it every day to raise £1M for children's causes. If you are building with AI, tell me where your time is going. I reply to anything relevant. #vibecoding #aiforbusiness #consistency #streakrunning #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/q2AstT9vvmY

    Episode 2157 - Weekly Team Check-Ins When AI Does 90%: Day 11 of My AI Challenge

    Weekly team check-ins are what kept day 11 of my 30 day AI challenge on track. Today is consecutive day 2,157 of my daily run, and I spend this episode on the problem I have struggled with: how to divide the work when AI does around 90% of it.I explain the two lanes I set up. One team member owns the marketing platform: the website, the sales funnels, the paid advertising and the lead nurture that leads to a call. The other owns quality control, quality assurance and user experience, and will grow into support and implementation. I lead product development and the early sales calls.I describe our simple Slack bug channel. She lists a bug, I fix it with AI and add a green tick, she retests and adds a second. Only two ticks mean fixed.I also share the plan: 29 modules by day 20, about three a day, then five days of migration to a platform built for up to 50 clients. My target is 30 clients within 12 to 18 months. A business of that size could be worth around half a million, which I treat as a barometer, not a result.The lesson is that short sprints need regular, light communication so problems surface early. It is the same discipline as the daily run.So far I have covered 16,563.24km of the 40,075km lap of the world, which leaves 23,511.76km. My goal is to raise £1M for children's causes.

    Episode 2121 - Running Near Waterways: Swans, Space and Staying Injury-Free

    Today I am talking about running near waterways, and a danger I had not covered before: large birds. I run by lakes, rivers and canals whenever I can because it feels calmer and more therapeutic. This morning, a swan on the path raised its wings, fluffed up and hissed at me as I approached. I stepped onto the grass and gave it a wide berth. I had also read about someone whose arm was broken by a swan's wing strike, so I did not want to test it. I talk about how I assume I am bigger and it will move, why that assumption is risky, and how it connects to other wildlife I have met on runs, including cows, a bull and stray dogs. I also mention some darker birds I could not identify, and admit my wildlife knowledge is limited. The lesson for me is that consistency depends on small, sensible choices that keep me able to run tomorrow. This is Day 2121. I have covered 16,304km of the 40,075km lap of the world, with 23,770km to go, raising £1M for children's causes. If you run near water, I would like to hear what you have come across.

    Episode 2155 - Running Streak Mistake: The Daily Average I Let Slip

    Today is day 2155 of my running streak, and I have to be straight about a mistake. When I set out to run a lap of the world, 40,075km, I worked out the daily average I needed to finish on my 50th birthday. It was roughly nine kilometres. I told myself that any short days would be made up during the big events. I never made them up.My real average is 7.68km. I have run 16,548.89km, which is about 41 percent of the distance, while I am past halfway in days. The gap is only about 1.3km a day, around five minutes. Over six years it comes to roughly 3,000km.In this episode I explain why I chose not to chase that distance with 10km days. My body has already handled a broken foot, plantar fasciitis, calf tears, hamstring tears and back strains, and I am 44. Instead I have moved the finish to day 5,000, around February 2034, with an 8km minimum daily. That costs me nearly two extra years, and it keeps the streak safe.The lesson for me is that small shortfalls compound, and that the right correction is the one I can sustain. The mission is unchanged: 23,526.11km to go, and £1M for children's causes. If you run endurance races, check your own average against your own plan. #runningstreak #endurancerunning #mindset #consistency #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/dPLUBRBzsKs

    Episode 2154 - AI Business Plan: Day 10 of Building a Product With AI

    Today is day 2154 of my daily running streak and day 10 of a 30-day experiment. I am taking a business concept through build, launch and delivery, aiming for profit within 30 days, with AI doing 90% of the work.In this episode I explain where the build stands. I am about 50% through the product. I have learned more about structured vibe coding, and I have written a clear project plan for the next two weeks. The second half of the build gets ten working days. The last ten cover marketing assets, launch preparation, migration to a more robust back end for subscription clients, and onboarding.I also talk about the planning tools I have already built. They connect a ten-year vision to quarterly projects, monthly milestones and weekly tasks, and they give me a clear view of what needs doing in both of my businesses. Using them also shows me bugs, which I fix as I go. I share the pricing I am working to: a £2,000 implementation and an ongoing £249 subscription. At 30 clients, I value the business at around £550,000. These are targets, not results.The lesson for me is simple. Without a clear plan, delivery is close to impossible. The streak works the same way. One run, every day, decided in advance.This vlog is part of my mission to run 40,075km, a lap of the world, in barefoot-style footwear and raise £1M for children's causes. Today I have covered 16,541.80km, with 23,533.20km to go. If you want to follow the build or the mission, subscribe and share.
