Tools Are Not the Solution

Don’t get another tool until you listen to this. When I built a fence last summer, my brother-in-law brought an auger. It made the job faster, but the auger alone would've left me with holes in my yard and a trip to the ER. It wouldn’t have built the fence for me. The tool is not the solution. Today, I use James Patterson, George R.R. Martin, and Stephen King to show why the system beats the tool, and how to figure out which tools you actually need.

4 Questions Before You Vibe Code a Tool Replacement

Should you replace your software subscriptions with tools you vibe code? I've replaced several of mine, but I'll never replace others.

What I Learned at Ecamm's Creator Camp [Friday Wrap-Up]

This week I share what I learned after speaking at Ecamm's Creator Camp: why listing the simple automations I use landed better than I expected, and how my "AI is for tasks, not craft" line ended up on the quote board. I also go through four questions I'm asking myself now. Should I go back to Instagram? What should my YouTube pillars be? Do I need a simple digital product? And when should you code your own tool instead of paying for one?  Plus, starting October 9th, the Friday Wrap-Up goes live on YouTube.
