After kicking off with some quirky February 11th trivia—including the birth of the La-Z-Boy recliner and a 44-pound lobster worth roughly a grand—our host dives into a confession: he doesn’t fact-check everything, and that’s okay. Because as a former history major and lawyer turned entrepreneur, he’s learned the most valuable skill of all: knowing where to invest your time.

Fresh off a late-night coding session with Claude (the AI, not a developer friend), he reflects on how his video production venture has evolved from “let’s make cool videos with CEOs” to something deeper: helping founders step onto bigger stages. The journey required moving past the activity he could visualize and into the psychology of transformation his clients actually need.

Along the way, he shares hard-won communication wisdom born from editing too many videos of himself—slow down, lose the filler words, and connect your heart to what you’re saying. Think clean line edits in writing, not frantic scratching out.

The punchline? AI tools are making solo entrepreneurs 1,000 times more productive. His new website, TheBiggerStage.com, went from concept to live in one evening—no awful templates required. It’s placeholder-level now, but it does the job while he preps for the next-level design. And that’s the point: we’re entering an era where humans get to do the more human stuff. The question is: what are you learning today that’ll matter tomorrow?
