    Build Your First App With AI: The Queen's Guide to Vibe Coding (Even if You're Not Tech Savvy)

    What if you could build a custom app for your business in about an hour without writing a single line of code, hiring a developer, or having a massive budget? That's exactly what vibe coding makes possible. In this episode, Erika breaks down vibe coding—a no-code way to build apps that solve specific problems in your business. She walks through the entire process, shares real examples, reveals the mistakes she made so you don't have to, and gives you the exact platforms and prompts you need to start building today. Key Topics Covered: What vibe coding actually is and why it's a game-changer for women entrepreneurs The five-step process for building your first app (even if you've never coded before) Real app examples: water trackers, expense trackers, habit journals, mood trackers, and more How to start with an MVP (minimum viable product) instead of trying to build a castle when you need a shed The critical lesson Erika learned at the She Leads AI Create Conference that changed everything Step-by-step walkthroughs of building a to-do list app and a symptom tracker Pro tips for making changes, managing credits, and avoiding common mistakes Why starting in ChatGPT or Claude before jumping into a vibe coding platform will save you time and money Your Challenge This Week: Pick one small, annoying problem in your business. Start a conversation with ChatGPT or Claude about building an app to solve it. Then head to one of the platforms Erika mentioned and spend 30 minutes to an hour just playing around. Remember: build the shed first, not the castle.

    Stop Creating Lead Magnets That Collect Dust: How AI Transforms Audience Engagement

    Your lead magnets are sitting in a folder somewhere, forgotten and unused. We've all been there: spending hours creating PDFs, guides, and freebies that people download once and never touch again. But what if you could turn those dusty resources into interactive, engaging experiences that actually convert? In this episode, Erika sits down with Sarah K. Heeter, CEO of Podfox Media and host of the Big Brave Business podcast, to talk about using AI to revolutionize how you attract and nurture your ideal clients. Sarah shares how she transformed her static lead magnets into custom bots and interactive quizzes that people actually use, without paying $29/month for quiz software or drowning in manual work. Key themes from this conversation: AI doesn't eliminate critical thinking—it demands more of it. The bad advice floating around makes AI seem like a magic button, but the real power comes from getting creative with how you use these tools. Lead magnets should provide value, not just collect emails. Sarah rebuilt her equipment guide as an AI-powered consultant that asks questions, offers personalized recommendations, and feels like a real conversation. You don't need to start from scratch. Look at what you've already created. What's collecting dust in your resource library? What questions do people keep asking you? Start there. Interactive beats static every time. Whether it's a custom GPT or a vibe-coded quiz, engagement skyrockets when people can have a conversation instead of scrolling through another PDF. Ask for 20 ideas, not one. When prompting AI, push it to generate a big list. Most will be garbage, but a few will have real spark... and that's where your genius comes in. This episode is for you if you've been grinding away on content that nobody downloads, if you're curious about custom bots but don't know where to start, or if you're ready to make AI work smarter for your business without the tech bro BS.

    GPT-5 Sucks! (No It Doesn't.) Here Are 4 Ways to Get Your Bestie Back Without Paying More

    If you've been wondering why ChatGPT suddenly feels like a boring robot instead of your enthusiastic business bestie, you're not alone. OpenAI overcorrected with GPT-5, dialing back the personality that so many of us relied on. The good news? You don't need to pay $200 a month to get your supportive AI assistant back. This mini episode breaks down what changed, why it happened, and most importantly, how to reclaim that chatty, encouraging tone that actually helps you get stuff done. Key Points From This Episode: • Switch back to GPT-4.0 — Use the model selector in the top menu to choose the legacy model instead of defaulting to GPT-5.0 • Customize your personality settings — Go into settings > customize ChatGPT and select from cheerful and adaptive, thoughtful and supportive, or create your own custom vibe • Clean up your memories — Review what ChatGPT remembers about you and your business, deleting outdated info to keep responses relevant • Try conversation branching — Hover over any response and click "branch into new chat" to explore different ideas without losing your original conversation thread • Use instant vs. thinking modes — Speed up responses with instant mode or get deeper analysis with thinking mode The reality is that Sam Altman himself admitted this rollout was bumpy and that they underestimated how attached people were to ChatGPT's supportive personality. While they're promising to let some users stick with GPT-4.0 for the foreseeable future, these customization tricks will help you get the best of both worlds. Don't pay extra for personality when you can get it back with a few simple settings changes. Your AI assistant should work for you, not against you.
