Where does your agent find news for the podcast?
We don't do news. I hate news. Stop listening to AI news. We mostly get it on X. I'm just going to drink some coffee.

I appreciate it, John Overflow AI, but I know the main channel doesn't do super well, but it kills me because the main channel only gets like 3x the total number of views that the podcast gets at this point. Isn't that crazy? Podcast is over 50 times smaller, which I think is a good segue into strategy.
I think it’s not a bad idea—I could funnel the Stack podcast into the workflow, although I don’t have many daily deliverables tied to work for it right now. I like to keep things related to my daily deliverables, so I’d only do it if it fit that pattern. Honestly, I’m not sure yet, but I’m open to the possibility.
We use an AI agent to automatically publish these videos, and it looks like the agent failed to process the audio for this segment. We’re also hiding the user from that channel as a precaution. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong, but I apologize for the glitch.
On the AI agents video: I was just on a podcast with my buddy Matt talking about this — I think the market is ripe for a counter-signal video right now. A counter-signal is when a market is moving hard in one direction, everyone's hyping something up ('this agent has 8,000 components and automates your whole life'), and you make a video pushing back on that narrative. I think we're getting close to that point with AI agent hype. On the day-in-the-life vlog: honestly, a day in my life is just me sitting here working, exactly like what I'm doing right now. I've always been against POV-style 'entrepreneur in Bali' videos — sure, you can be an entrepreneur in Bali, but that's not really the entrepreneurial part. The actual entrepreneurial work is strategy, reporting, monitoring growth, making decisions that improve projected ROI — and that's basically what I do all day, which doesn't make for a very visually exciting vlog.
