  • Back in the days

    Once the best podcast on the planet, but now it’s all click bait titles, moneymaking lies and literally nothing of value.

    I miss the old Greg who loved to brainstorm. The Greg that ignited thousands of people to create stuff. To just do stuff. For those just started listening. Go back to the old episodes. Those are gold. Those are different. You can find what Greg does now everywhere, but the old Greg was unique.

  • Thank you so much!!!

    It’s amazing when people who are financially successful still feel the desire to teach and give back… we are lucky to be living in that generation where that’s normal. I hope Greg continues to give to us forever and teach us the ways to make money and make use of AI in the modern era. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Agents Full Course 59 Minutes (for beginners)
Q: How should people think about security and these different products?
Security is about scoping tool access and privileges, using read-only or limited permissions, and understanding the risk of giving an agent control over sensitive actions like ad budgets;慎 choose tools with appropriate permissions and manage context carefully.
AI Agents Full Course 59 Minutes (for beginners)
Q: Basically, I want you to tell us the concepts behind all this. By the end of this episode, Remy, do you think you can do that?
Yes, we will cover the core concepts that differentiate chat models from agents, explain the agent loop (observe, think, act), show how memory and context are managed, and demonstrate how to connect tools via MCPs, all with beginner-friendly explanations and live demos.
I let OpenClaw run my organic marketing (while I sleep)
Q: Which tools are you going to use, and why is it not too good to be true?
The approach hinges on an AI agent that acts as a dedicated marketer, supported by a skills marketplace (Larry Brain). It automates content generation, posting workflows, and analytics feedback, while retaining human oversight for quality and strategic direction; over time, it self-optimizes by iterating on hooks, formats, and CTAs based on performance data.
Making $$$ with OpenClaw
Q: Nick, by the end of this episode, what are people gonna learn?
People are going to learn that OpenClaw is more than just a personal assistant. You can actually deploy this into businesses and drive actual business outcomes.
Claude Code built me a $273/Day online directory
Q: What do you have to say to people who are naysayers about directories?
If your timeline is to make money in less than six months, I would not build a directory.
