You've been using AI wrong. It's not just for writing emails. It's for building your own software.

In this episode, Austin Armstrong (Founder of Syllaby.io, author of Virality) breaks down the "vibe coding" revolution — how anyone, even if you don't know a single line of code, can build custom apps, automate their business, and create new revenue streams using AI agents.

Austin also reveals why he intentionally cannibalized his own successful marketing agency to go all-in on AI, and he breaks down his exact START framework for going viral on purpose.

If you want to stop paying for bloated SaaS tools and start building your own solutions, you need to watch this.

In this episode:

• How to "vibe code" your own software for under $200
• The START framework for strategic virality (and why most people blow it on the first two steps)
• Why doing a "time audit" is the best AI strategy you can implement today
• How Austin built a $60K internal tool that now generates 95% profit margins
• The build vs. buy decision — and why the math has completely changed
