  • His AI Team Works All Night. He Just Clicks Approve.
    27 Oct 2026

    Jordan Hardgrave runs his coaching business with a team of 30 AI agents. There's a sales manager, a security agent, a token agent that moves work to cheaper models, and Phil, a frog in a bow tie who manages all of them and hands Jordan a short list of "magic tasks" every morning. Jordan walks me through the dashboard he had Claude build, why he names every agent after the one job it does, and why running AI like a company of real employees is what finally made it click.

    We also cover this week in AI: two critical PHP holes and a poisoned AI package, why I think the whole internet could go down for a long stretch by 2027, Musk's AI business, Phonon (a free, open-source voice model suite from Gradium that runs on your own computer), and the dream of checking in with your agents from the middle of a hike.

  • Anyone Can Build Anything Now. Is That Good?
    12 Oct 2026

    You used to need a developer, a budget, or permission. Now you need an idea and a weekend. Jordan Hardgrave and I dig into what that means: the good, the creepy, and the stuff nobody's talking about.

    We get into PewDiePie getting banned from ChatGPT, why AI models feel "nerfed" one week and brilliant the next, America.gov, a statewide vehicle tracker I built in a weekend (full video coming soon), AI fusing Spider-Man into a Batman game, whether AI cracked zero point energy, and why you should be buying hardware right now.
