Creator Leverage: Master AI. Build Systems. Grow Your Business

I've been building software with AI coding assistants for a few months now. Last night I added a Monte Carlo simulation tool to a project. The AI wrote the function, the schema, the docs. Everything looked right. Then I tried something different. Instead of eyeballing the diff, I asked the AI: "Import all the modules. Call the new functions. Prove this works." 30 seconds later, the AI reported 7 tools registered instead of 8. The Monte Carlo handler was fully coded but never wired up. Dead...

Most note-taking systems break down when you hit thousands of notes. Mine used to be a scattered mess of Apple Notes and random markdown files until I discovered how to connect Claude directly to my entire knowledge base. Here's what changed everything: I'm now using Claude Code to interact with my 7,000+ note Zettelkasten system. Instead of manually searching through years of notes on content strategy, coding, and business projects, I can ask Claude to: Generate newsletter topics by...

You have hundreds of notes scattered across different topics, but finding the right one when you need it feels impossible. Bryan discovered a game-changing solution using Claude Code that transforms chaos into organized "maps of contents." Here's what the video covers: The Map of Contents Method: Instead of manually reviewing notes one by one (which takes hours), you create single documents that collate all notes on specific topics. Think of it as your personal knowledge GPS. AI-Powered...

I forgot to install analytics on my landing pages. Again. Instead of manually hunting through 50+ files to add tracking code, I let Cursor handle the entire mess. Here's what happened in this live troubleshooting session: The problem: My landing page tool (built with Cursor) was missing native analytics. I had old, broken Plausible tracking scattered across multiple files that needed cleaning up. The solution: I fed Cursor my new analytics script with one specific instruction: "Don't change...

I used to stare at blank pages for hours. “What should I write about today?” Then I discovered the secret: build first, document second. The old way (content-first): Think of topics to write about. Research what’s trending. Create content in a vacuum. Chase clicks or views. This model means building a content hamster wheel that doesn’t pay the bills. The new way (build-first): Build something (even if small). Document what you learned. Share the real struggles and wins. Content becomes...

9/10 people use AI like a search engine. They ask a generic question... And they get a super encouraging answer. (Probably scraped off Reddit or an internet forum). But the top 10% treat it like a collaborative partner. They ask better questions. And they do it with the quesiton interaction prompt Instead of guessing what to ask or prompt, force the AI to do the heavy lifting for you. Next time you are stuck, paste your draft as usual. Then, add this single line: "Rather than answering,...

I just wrapped up 3 weeks of intensive AI coding experiments. While everyone's debating whether AI will replace developers, I decided to test it myself. Here's what I actually built and what surprised me: What I Built: A portfolio tracker with IBKR integration (Python + Telegram alerts) Three business automation scripts using Claude Code A complete Zettelkasten CLI system for rapid note capture Deployed multiple projects to VPS using cursor CLI The Reality Check: AI didn't replace thinking -...
