0:00.0	Let me tell you something that's going to make you set up straight, especially if you're stressed
0:03.3	about hiring. I run a business that produces a podcast three times a week, a business that creates
0:08.7	content, products, manages a community, runs marketing, handles research, writes copy, builds internal
0:15.4	tools so they can run effectively. And the output of that business has tripled in the last two years,
0:22.4	not because we hired more people,
0:31.9	but because I have built a five-tool AI stack that cost me $79 a month. Yes, $79. The same output that used to require multiple hires, a writer, a researcher, a designer, a developer, an EA,

1:31.9	Thanks for being a part of our journey to help others on their journey.
1:38.1	If you ever thought, I can't scale because I can't afford to hire, this episode's going to change your thinking completely. Before I get into tools, I want to be absolutely clear about
1:42.5	something. This is not about firing your team.
1:44.9	My own team has actually grown since starting using these tools because now I have the revenue
1:51.3	and the profit to invest in better talent, to invest in more talent. And AI did not replace the people I have.
1:58.9	It tripled what they can produce. It supercharged my team
