    Stop writing technical docs manually

    Send us a text When you’re building AI and automation for clients, the tech is the easy part — explaining what you built is where things bog down. In this episode, Micah and Beau walk through the internal “Tech Doc Agent” they built to turn messy JSON workflows into clean, 7-part client-ready documentation in minutes instead of hours. They break down how Beau translated real client questions into a repeatable structure, how Micah turned that into a minimal viable agent (MVA), and why starting simple (not “perfectly automated”) is the real unlock. You’ll hear how this one agent now saves hours of back-and-forth with developers, makes Beau more confident on client calls, and doubles as a training tool for future projects. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to turn recurring client questions into a structured template an AI agent can followWhy “minimal viable agent” (MVA) beats over-engineered automation every timeHow to keep documentation consistent across workflows without dragging devs into every revisionA practical way to use agents to support client services, not replace themHow agents let your experts focus on strategy and relationships, not copy-pasting between toolsPerfect for: founders, ops leads, and client-facing PMs who are constantly explaining “how it all works” and want an agent to handle the grunt work.

    #1 Rule: Simplify then Automate

    Send us a text Most leaders want automation… until they realize their own process is the biggest thing standing in the way. In this episode, Alane and Micah break down one of the most common patterns they see inside companies: trying to force new software to fit an old, overly customized process. They talk about why leaders get attached to “the way we’ve always done it,” how human teams naturally smooth out messy workflows, and why those same messy parts become major blockers the moment you try to automate. Alane shares real examples from clients who built processes out of necessity—stringing together spreadsheets, hacks, and workarounds—and now struggle to let go of them, even when a better solution exists. Micah walks through the shift every business needs to make: instead of hunting for the “perfect tool” that matches every nuance of your current process, rethink the process itself. Start with the desired outcome, simplify the path to get there, and use the software tools that already exist (instead of building custom systems that take months and drain budgets). If you’ve ever found yourself saying “our process is too unique to automate”—this one’s for you. You’ll learn how to simplify workflows, choose the right tools faster, reduce complexity, and finally unlock the automation potential sitting inside your business.

    Use AI to build your ideas in less than 60 minutes

    Send us a text Every founder knows the pain: you can see the product in your head, but explaining it to a designer or developer? That’s where things fall apart. For decades, the gap between visionaries and technical teams has been one of the biggest blockers to shipping great ideas. Endless Google Docs. Confusing sketches. Misinterpreted mocks. Weeks of back-and-forth. Frustration on both sides. But for the first time ever…this problem actually has a solution. In this episode, Micah and Alane break down why communicating vision is so hard and how today’s AI tools finally bridge the gap. From rapid prototyping in Gemini and Lovable, to low-tech hacks like Chrome Developer Tools, Mac Preview mockups, and Loom walkthroughs, you'll discover the new way leaders can turn ideas into clear, buildable prototypes without writing code. They share real stories (including the infamous “wrong font dashboard column”) plus practical techniques any founder, executive, or product owner can adopt to get dramatically better results from their technical teams. You’ll learn: Why vision often gets lost in translationThe old ways founders tried (and failed) to communicate ideasThe new AI-powered prototyping tools that change the gameHow to make sure your team builds what you actually wantThe simple processes that prevent back-and-forth, burnout, and wasted timeWhy showing—not just telling—is now the superpower every leader needsIf you’ve ever said, “That’s not what I meant…” during a handoff, this episode will change how you work forever. Tools Mentioned in This Episode Google AI Studio: Lets you type out what you want and instantly see a working version of it, without needing to codeLovable: Turns your idea into a quick, clickable mockup you can share with your teamBase44: Helps you create visual layouts so you can show, not just tell, what you want builtVibecode: Gives you a simple way to create or tweak app screens without touching any technical backend workDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links.

    The real ROI of relationships

    Send us a text In this episode, Alane shares how joining the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program completely reshaped the way she approaches business growth—and why no founder should try to build alone. What started as a 12-week crash course on scaling a company became something far more powerful: a network of entrepreneurs who understand the highs, lows, and relentless pressure of running a business. From presenting on stage in front of thousands to finding real friendships that extend beyond business, Alane and Micah discuss how community isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s essential. You’ll hear: Why joining the right peer group can accelerate growth faster than any marketing strategyHow to find communities that genuinely support founders (and not just sell to them)The long-term impact of relationships built through programs like Goldman Sachs 10KSB and EOWhat isolation costs leaders—and how connection restores purpose and perspectiveWhy investing time in people creates exponential returns for both your business and your wellbeingFor founders used to doing it all themselves, this episode is a powerful reminder: your network is the one system that can’t be automated—but it will scale everything else you do.

    Find out what AI and Agents can’t fix

    Send us a text In this episode, Alane and Micah tackle one of the biggest misconceptions about AI agents — the idea that they can magically fix broken workflows. They unpack why automation only works when the underlying process is solid, clear, and well-defined. They share real stories from their own experience, including how strategy and design make up 80% of the work in building automated systems, and why slowing down to document and standardize your processes can actually make you move faster later. You’ll hear: Why AI agents can’t save a poorly structured workflowHow to identify when you’re ready to automate (and when you’re not)Why the design phase is the most valuable part of any automation projectHow to document, diagram, and break large systems into smaller, achievable workflowsThe importance of starting small and improving over timeIf you’ve ever been tempted to “throw AI at a problem,” this episode will show you how to rethink automation so it actually works — and how to build a process your agents, and your team, can rely on.
