  • Pair This With Using AI at Work + Listen Fast!

    Seriously one of the most helpful AI podcasts I’ve found — super clear, super relevant, and packed with strategies. Listen at 1.75x speed so you can absorb more in less time and implement like a machine. Also, make sure you’re checking out Using AI at Work too — both together are a powerhouse. Catch up or get flustered… ketchup or get mustard 😂

Building Powerful AI Image and Video Workflows for Marketers
Q: How did you get into AI and start teaching marketers to use it effectively?
Jerrod explains his long-time content creation background, the shift when Gen AI emerged, and how collaborations with major brands helped him learn to explain tools to different audiences, leading to practical, repeatable workflows.
Building Agentic Workflows with Manus
Q: Why is it important to prepare a full brief before prompting Manus?
Preparing a full brief upfront ensures clarity and prevents wasting credits; it allows Manus to execute with precision rather than spending time in back-and-forth brainstorming, effectively acting as a $500/hour consultant.
Applying AI to Marketing and Business: Lessons From the Trenches
Q: How much time did you invest to get to a working prototype before moving to the next tool?
About an hour and a half in Manus before token costs and scalability became prohibitive, then a much shorter initial effort in Claude before migrating to a more scalable cloud workflow.
Getting Started with Codex by OpenAI: The Future of Business
Q: How do the goals and heartbeat features work together to drive automation?
A goal defines the end objective, and heartbeat allows the agent to periodically check back in and continue working toward that goal without constant manual prompting, enabling proactive and sustained automation.
Getting Started with Codex by OpenAI: The Future of Business
Q: What are the big misconceptions about Codex and who is it really for?
Codex is not just for coders; it's designed to be user-friendly and capable of handling non-technical, business-oriented tasks by interacting with data, apps, and local networks, provided you set clear goals and proper prompts.
