I've spent ~10 years helping digital brands grow. I share what I know and what I'm experimenting with in this newsletter.

Why AI content sounds like everyone else

A few weeks ago, someone in the GM community posted something that stuck with me. ... She said she'd built all her agents with Claude.... She could get products to market. ... She was good on sales calls. But content consistency was her bottleneck, and the thing that was holding her back. She'd tried tools. She'd tried prompting ChatGPT directly. But as is always the case with base AI products or SaaS that’s only a wrapper for OpenAI, the output was generic, and there was still a mountain of...

You already know the answer

You know you need to post consistently on social. You've known it years. And honestly, you've probably tried more than a few times. You sat down on a Monday morning with good intentions. Opened a blank doc. Wrote one post. Felt decent about it. Started a second one and... stalled. An hour later, you've got one LinkedIn post and half an Instagram caption. Your actual work is piling up. You close the doc, tell yourself you'll finish later, and later never comes. By Friday, you’ve got 2...

Overcoming the hump

You know the feeling. You see someone online waxing lyrical about the benefits of AI. In just a day they've managed to... Create 3000 "SEO Optimised" pages Send a bajillion outreach emails Create a full product funnel that easily clears 1k / day ... and it grabs your attention. You're no fool though. You know those claims are gonna be exaggerated. But, you also know someone with your knowledge and experience could turn even 10% of that output into a real, tangible revenue result for your...

Planning some workshops and "build alongs"

Yo! I'm planning a number of workshops and buildalongs to help people get more comfrtoable and better resultsa from AI in their business. Would love to know what you'd want me to cover. If you've got 2 mins, I'd love to know... If AI could solve ONE problem in your business right now, what would it be? And what have you tried so far that didn't work? Cheers!

What's the biggest AI frustration in your biz?

Morning all. Got a quick Q I was hoping you could help with. I put the GM marketing on hold for a while as I was head down getting familiar with AI. Over thelast few months, I’ve managed to build some cool stuff as a non technical person, including… Cut $600 / month in SaaS fees by building my own versions Created full automation systems for things like social sharing across 8 channels, research, draft, and optimise ads and YT videos from a single prompt Ghostwritten a Romantasy book and got...

4 ideas. Which would you actually use?

Yo! I wanna follow up on Yesterday's email about live workshops on building with AI. I've had a few people respond and we've been hashing out some ideas, but I'd like your take as well to help me nail what we should cover. Some quick context... I run two AI-driven businesses. The automation behind both runs on a stack I've stitched together over the last few months AI + self-hosted n8n + custom builds on cheap self-hosted (€5 / month) servers. which is way cheaper than all of the SaaS brands...

Interested in this?

Yo! Quick feeler email for something I'm thinking of doing. Over the last couple of weeks/monhts, I've been diving deep into building with AI. And, not to toot my own horn, I'm not too bad at it. While a lot of the AI advice out there is all a out "HoW To SeT up ClauDE" (which any idiot can figure out by just messing about with it in an afternoon), I've been building full automation systems for new offers and businesses. Hell, Vagrant Press is a full site that's 100% built with Ai. And, I've...
