"I like to think about ChatGPT like a Swiss Army knife. It can do everything pretty good, but maybe nothing amazingly. You use ChatGPT when you need to move fast and structure things quickly."
▶ 3:43"You can use tools like Claude and Replit and ChatGPT, and they can help you build this."
Personal use in 2 episodes
"I use Claude code and Claude code basically allows me to make things that are like another agent that can do things for me. All I have to do is talk to it like a human and it starts actually creating a real usable database."
▶ 12:30"Claude is the best at thinking and nuanced writing. You use Claude when you need to think through something deeply or when the quality of the reasoning matters or if you want to use agents."

"This is where Lovable comes in. I think it's the best AI website builder on the market. You describe what you want and it builds you an actual functional design site. This would have taken a developer a couple weeks and $3K, maybe just last year, and we just did it in 4 minutes."

"I like to use Whisper Flow. I've got ideas, I've got prompts I want to run, and typing it all out is really slow. So I use this tool — basically a voice-to-text tool that runs in the background on your computer. Transcribes everything you say instantly into whatever app you're using and doesn't make a bunch of mistakes like my voice to text. I use it all the time. So will you. You're welcome."
▶ 4:56Personal use in 1 episode
"I want to start with Perplexity. It's the best research tool you can use, and it gives you answers with all of its sources cited, so you're not going to have AI hallucinations like you get with ChatGPT. It isn't the best at inference, so we're going to use it to get data."
▶ 3:27Personal use in 1 episode
"Can I use something like Superhuman, which is the software I use that automates all of my email inbox management better? Great."
▶ 12:15Personal use in 1 episode
"I eat chia pudding with fresh fruit. It's one of the best plant sources of omega-3s. It's great for your brain function."

"This is where Tidio comes in. Tidio is an AI-powered customer service tool that sits on your website as a live chat widget. It answers customer questions in real time and it uses this knowledge base you build — your return policy, your shipping times, your product details, your FAQ. It even acts as a salesperson to help the customer solve their pain and go to checkout. I set it up for my leash business in about 20 minutes."
▶ 20:14Warned against
"Amazon FBA. I think it sounds great. There's lots of people online, but then Amazon owns you. They can suspend your account overnight, copy your product."
"Don't use ChatGPT, use Claude for proposals, emails, SOPs."
"Anybody who is trying to sell you a Pokemon card thinks you're an idiot. The problem is that none of these things hold their value over time."
"Robinhood lets you do one leverage. That's like if you have 10K, they'll give you 10K in margin loans. Please, dear sweet baby Jesus, don't do this. This is how you give yourself an all-star and lose your house."
"I think Zoom meetings are where dreams go to die. Particularly in a world where 99% of the time people are hiding behind one of these things."

"No email or slack. The second you open email, you're working on somebody else's priorities."
"Most people, they check email, Slack, notifications 20 to 30 times a day. That's not multitasking."
