1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 I've been building companies and leading people strategy for decades, but I've never been a developer. For years, that meant my best ideas stayed trapped in my head—or cost me tens of thousands of dollars every time I wanted to build something real. Then AI changed everything. In this episode, I'm sharing my story of going from paying $10K+ per change on my Everyday Innovator assessment to building HeyAnna—a fully functional collaboration app—in 48 hours after a breakfast conversation in Kiowa, Colorado. This isn't a tech podcast. This is about what happens when the barrier between &quot;I have an idea&quot; and &quot;I built the thing&quot; disappears. We're all so busy being afraid of what AI might replace that we're missing what it makes POSSIBLE. For the first time in history, you don't need permission, investors, or a technical co-founder to turn your ideas into reality. I lived through Facebook, Uber, and the birth of the internet. This moment is bigger. AI isn't just changing how we work—it's democratizing who gets to build. What we cover: The real cost of being non-technical (and how AI eliminates it) My journey from paying developers to building myself with Claude and Lovable The exact moment everything changed (spoiler: it involved eggs and Jeff) Why &quot;I'm not technical&quot; is no longer a valid excuse What courage looks like when the tools finally match your vision If you've been carrying around an idea but feel stuck because you &quot;don't know how to code,&quot; this episode is for you. The tools are here. The moment is now. Let's build.
