The Midwest is quietly leading an automation surge, and this episode shows how. We break down practical, real-world wins with n8n: a 42-year-old Akron manufacturer reduces order processing from three days to four hours, and a Dayton law firm cuts admin overhead by 35% while boosting billable hours by 15%. Learn why fair-code licensing matters for ownership, stability, and valuation, and see how visual workflows turn messy handoffs into fast, reliable processes that no computer science degree requires.

We map the three-stage automation journey (task → process → system), show how to bridge legacy tools with modern apps, and point you to starter templates, community support, and certification tracks. If you want speed, consistency, and control without renting your stack, this playbook is your first step. Subscribe for Episode 3 on rapid app building.
