    This Is the EASIEST Way to Build Apps With AI (We Tried It With 500+ People)

    What You'll Get From This Episode In this transformative episode of the Man on a Mission Show, hosts Tammy Ng and Adeline Ng sit down with two pioneering entrepreneurs and AI educators, Sherry Jiang (Founder & CEO of Peek Money) and Agrim Singh (Co-founder of Niyam.AI), who are redefining what it means to build in the age of artificial intelligence. Fresh from hosting the world's largest Cursor hackathon where over 150 AI-powered products were built in just 24 hours, Sherry and Agrim pull back the curtain on how AI is democratizing entrepreneurship, transforming the future of work, and empowering non-technical founders to build sophisticated applications without writing a single line of traditional code. You'll discover:• Why the barrier between technical and non-technical founders has completely dissolved in the AI era• How to communicate effectively with AI tools like Cursor to build production-ready applications• The mindset shift from asking permission to asking forgiveness—and why high agency is the new currency• Why learning to code backwards (build first, understand fundamentals later) is now more effective than traditional computer science education• The real risks of building AI products too close to the model layer—and how to avoid getting replaced by OpenAI• Why founder-market fit matters infinitely more than product-market fit in today's landscape• How solo developers and small elite teams are now competing with multi-million dollar companies• The future of work: which jobs will thrive, which will disappear, and why high agency beats credentials every time• Why you don't need a CTO anymore to validate your startup idea (but when you might still want one)• The surprising truth about AI replacing jobs: it's not replacing roles, it's replacing excuses• How to build personal apps that solve your unique problems instead of conforming to one-size-fits-all SaaS solutions• Why joy and curiosity—not hustle culture—are the real secrets to sustainable entrepreneurship Whether you're a non-technical founder who's been told you need a CTO, an aspiring entrepreneur wondering if you should learn to code, or a business leader trying to understand how AI will reshape your industry, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about building in 2025 and beyond.If this episode inspired you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon 🔔 for more conversations with builders who are redefining what's possible in the AI age. 👉 Share this episode with a founder who's been waiting for permission to start building.👇 Your hosts:Tammy Ng📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ngtammyyy/🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ngtammyyy💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ngtammyyy/Adeline Ng🌐 Website: https://adelineng.com/📝Free Marketing Notes: https://linktr.ee/adeline.ng📱Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ng.adelinee📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ade_ysc/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ade-ng/🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ng.adeFollow Man on a Mission here:🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manonamissionshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manonamissionshow/?hl=en🏢 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/manonamissionshow📌 Subscribe here:▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@ManOnAMissionShow:

    Lifestyle Business or Exit Strategy? Why You Need to Pick One and Stick With It

    What You'll Get From This Episode: In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Man on a Mission Show, hosts Tammy Ng and Adeline Ng tackle one of the most critical questions every entrepreneur faces: Do you build a lifestyle business or do you build to exit? Drawing insights from their recent panel discussion featuring Annie Yap (CEO of AYP Group with IPO ambitions) and Patrick Chow (Co-founder of Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group who works just one day a week), this candid conversation reveals the truth about business intent, founder identity, and the courage to choose your own path. You'll discover: • The fundamental difference between a lifestyle business and an exit-intent business—and why the starting point matters • Why passion-driven businesses operate differently from market-demand-driven ventures • How Annie's disciplined SOP-driven approach contrasts with Patrick's culture-first leadership style • The real reason some founders pursue IPO while others choose freedom and flexibility • Why changing your business direction every six months destroys team morale and trust • How their own podcast business evolved from a client-filtering tool to a mission-driven platform • The honest truth about making strategic decisions every 3-4 months vs. building for the long haul • Why there's no "right" answer—only the answer that's right for you and your vision • The danger of building someone else's dream instead of your own Whether you're wrestling with the decision to scale aggressively, contemplating an exit, or simply trying to build a business that fits your life, this episode will help you gain clarity on what you're really building—and why it matters.
