HOW I WORK
I Build It First, Then I Teach It
I run my content operation on AI systems I built myself, including custom Claude skills for scripting, reviewing, repurposing and publishing.
Everything I publish comes from something I actually run. If a system doesn’t hold up in my business, it doesn’t make it into the newsletter.
