Is Claude Winning? [Friday Wrap-Up]

This week I talk about whether Claude is quietly winning the AI war — at least among business owners and tech nerds — after every speaker at Ecamm Creator Camp reached for Claude and nobody mentioned ChatGPT or Gemini, and why its "constitutional" rule-following makes me more comfortable using it. Then my take on finishing The Odyssey (the Emily Wilson translation) on a plane into Chicago, and a look at my Five-CD Changer Playlist — the five-albums-only, no-shuffle rules that make it fun.Links:Slides from my Ecamm Creator Camp / Max Stock talk (add link before publishing)The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilsoncasabona.org/nowIf you enjoyed this, consider joining my newsletter at https://streamlined.fm/wrap.

How Solopreneurs Stop Being the Content Bottleneck

Imagine making yourself a bowl of cereal. But instead of grabbing a bowl from the cupboard, you head to your backyard, throw a brand-new bowl on the pottery wheel, and while it dries, you drive to the store to buy a fresh box of cereal. Then you do the whole thing again the next morning. Sounds ridiculous, right? But that's exactly what we do with content when we create every piece from scratch with no ideas banked beforehand.So today I'm walking through how to stop being the bottleneck in your content creation process. I put out two podcast episodes a week, a YouTube video, a newsletter, and three LinkedIn posts — and I keep up because of three fixes.First, log your ideas as fast as possible so you never start on a blank slate.Second, use tools like Ecamm and Gling to make recording and post-production easy.Third, repurpose in a meaningful way — reshaping your own ideas for each platform instead of having AI spit out something that was never really yours.I also get into why faster isn't better, why creating content is still worth it, and how batching changes everything for a busy solopreneur.Want the simplest system for creating content?

The 4 Systems Every Solopreneur Needs to Take More Time Off

A few months ago I was doing a series of research calls, and the same piece of feedback kept coming up: "I read all your stuff, this sounds awesome, but I don't even know where to start." That was maybe the most important thing I've heard since I moved away from web development. So I finally decided to solve it.That's why I built the Solopreneur System Starter Kit, and today I walk you through the four systems every solopreneur needs to run a business that lets you take time off worry-free: admin work, your CRM, content creation, and idea generation and capture.You can get the Solopreneur System Starter Kit, the most valuable resources I've ever created, completely free.

I bought a tiny game controller for automation [Friday Wrap-Up]

This week I talk about my latest Mac automation tool: the 8BitDo Micro, a $15 tiny game controller I picked up during Prime Week and mapped to complex key combos and Raycast actions — and why these little tactile hardware automations are easier on your brain than memorizing keyboard shortcuts. Then a MacStories write-up that inspired the whole experiment, walking through real use cases for turning a game controller into a Mac input device. And a recommendation for New Rockstars' House of the Dragon Season 3 premiere breakdown on YouTube.Links:Configured Stream DeckEcamm (aff)8BitDo micro (aff)My Latest Mac Automation Tool is a Tiny Game Controller (MacStories)House of the Dragon S3 Premiere Breakdown — New RockstarsIf you enjoyed this, consider joining my newsletter/ You'll get an additional Automation of the Week, as well as regular emails on how to approach building systems that help you take time off, worry-free.
