The call that killed a 5-month dev project
I unpack a podcast conversation about implementing AI without an expensive dev shop, including the $1,500 diagnostic that replaced a stalled project.

I sat down with Stuart Willson on his podcast Just Curious this week and we spent 30 minutes talking about how non-technical business leaders can actually implement AI without hiring expensive dev shops or feeling overwhelmed.
It's the most honest conversation I've had publicly about how I work. Including the part where I admitted that when I started consulting, I had no idea what to charge clients so I just asked Claude to benchmark it for me.
We also got into:
- The $1,500 diagnostic that replaced a dev shop spinning its wheels for 5 months
- How I turn one meeting transcript into 10 different assets after almost every call
- How I built an automation that scrapes 700 conference websites weekly for a PR agency
- My real feelings about that MIT study claiming 95% of AI projects fail
