  • Exactly How I Run My Business on Claude Every Day | Ep 103

    In this episode I walk you through my actual day and show you exactly how I use Claude to run Resolve Business Coaching. Not theory, not a list of apps. The real routine that saves me 10 to 15 hours a week, and in some weeks closer to 20.

    I start in the car on the school run, using voice mode to triage my inbox and get replies sitting in my drafts folder before I walk in the door. From there I cover the two daily briefings that fire before I open my laptop, one on my numbers and meetings pulled from Xero and my calendar, one on the last 24 hours in AI and social media with content ideas built off it. I go through why I keep a Claude project for every single client, using Krisp to capture face to face meeting notes, building workshop slide decks and proposals in Claude Design, pulling on brand photos of myself out of Higgsfield, and drafting Instagram DM replies through GoHighLevel with a trained Claude skill. I also share the client of mine, a blinds business, who now runs his quotes through Claude Design and reckons it is saving him 15 to 20 hours a week.

    The big idea here is simple. Stop using AI to answer questions and start using it to do the work. And do not just keep it in the business. I have a project for our Vanuatu family trip and another one for bin night, because life admin eats your time too.

  • The 5 Things Actually Working on Instagram Right Now | Ep 102

    In this episode I break down the five things actually working on Instagram right now. Not stuff I read in a book or saw in a YouTube video. This is what is working on my own account, and what I am seeing work for my clients and our Resolve Business Club members right now.

    I go through trial reels and how they let you test content with non followers before your audience ever sees it, why showing up human beats polished content in a world drowning in AI captions, how to use reels for reach and carousels for belief, and the big one, why your DMs are the actual funnel. I break down exactly how I use ManyChat to turn a comment into a conversation, including the automated welcome message that goes out to every new follower and sends them my free Claude training guide.

    Then I finish on the one that matters most. Consistency beats strategy. Most business owners are planning their content instead of posting it. Stop overthinking it, get a post a day out, and make it fun.

    Which one of the five do you need to double down on? Come and tell me. DM me on Instagram @glennhaworth_coach with the word GROW and let me know what you are working on.

  • Start Here: The Exact Claude Setup I Give Every Client | Ep 101

    In this episode I take you right back to the basics and walk you through the exact Claude setup I use to run Resolve Business Coaching, and the same one I'm getting my coaching clients set up with. If AI feels overwhelming, start here. One step at a time, no trying to run before you can walk.

    I cover getting Claude on your desktop and phone, loading it with instructions so it actually knows you and your business, and then the part where it gets powerful: connecting your tools. Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Outlook and Xero, so you can ask who owes you money and have the chase up emails drafted for you. I go through Projects for clients and jobs, Scheduled Tasks for your daily briefing, and Skills, which is just training Claude once in how you want something done so you can say "draft my DMs" and it does it your way. Then the newer stuff: voice mode can finally reach your connectors, so you can do your inbox from the car. Claude Design for slide decks, proposals and flyers. The Chrome extension for working on your website and CRM. And Higgsfield plugged into Claude for the AI images you've been seeing on my feed, dragon included.

    This is the stuff that saves you hours every week and lifts how professional your business looks at the same time.

    Want to learn it hands on? I run fully funded workshops for eligible business owners across Kiama, Wollongong and the Illawarra.

    DM me on Instagram @glennhaworth_coach with the word "workshop" and I'll send you the details. Not local? DM me "GROW" and I'll tell you about coaching and the Resolve Business Club.

  • pisode 100: If I Lost Everything, Here's How I'd Start Again in 2026 | Ep 100

    Episode 100! To celebrate the milestone I'm answering the big question: if I lost everything tomorrow and had to build a brand new business in 2026, what exactly would I do? This is the full playbook, step by step, from someone who took Haworth Guitars from six figures to six million a year and sold it.

    I walk through how I'd apply the 4 Growth Levers from day one. Building massive awareness with organic content and posting before you're ready. Running your first paid ad even on a small budget just to learn the skill. Investing in sales training early so you can convert. Stacking value to lift your average sale. And over delivering to create raving fan clients who bring you referrals on repeat. I also cover the mindset piece, how to kill imposter syndrome, why you need to build the garden and not just chase butterflies, and why I'd become a ninja at Claude AI from day one.

    The Resolve Business Club is open for enrolments right now. If you want to get around like minded business owners applying all of this, DM me on Instagram @glennhaworth_coach with the word "GROW" and I'll send you the details.

  • How I Run My Entire Business From Claude | Ep 99

    In this episode I break down the exact AI tools saving me 10 to 15 hours every single week, and the same tools I'm now showing my one on one clients and our Resolve Business Club members how to use.

    I go deep on why Claude is my go to, how Claude Cowork connects to the tools you already use (Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Xero, Zoom and GoHighLevel), and how I've trained it with "skills" so I can just say "draft my emails" or "draft my DMs" and it does the work in my voice. I also cover the Chrome extension, Lovable for building landing pages and sites from a prompt, Claude Design for proposals and social posts, Higgsfield for AI images and video, and where ChatGPT and custom GPTs still earn their place.

    Most people are using AI just to get information. The real leverage is agentic AI that actually does the work for you. But here's the catch I won't let you forget: do not lose the human connection while you're at it.

    Keen to learn this stuff hands on? DM me on Instagram @glennhaworth_coach and say "AI" and I'll let you know what's coming up next.

  • The Return of Haworth Guitars: Meet The Basement Unplugged with Jackie & Kai | Ep 98

    In this special episode of the Business Breakthrough Podcast, I sit down with Jackie and Kai, the new owners of what was once Haworth Guitars, now reborn as The Basement Unplugged.

    Haworth Guitars was my family's baby for decades. My dad Phil started building guitars out of our garage in Kiama Downs back in the 80s. I took the business on in my mid-20s, scaled it to multiple stores, a music school, e-commerce, and a 70K+ Instagram following before selling it in 2024. Now, a few years on, Jackie and Kai have stepped in to write the next chapter, and they're absolutely smashing it.

    We unpack:

    • How a vision board literally manifested this business into their hands
    • Why Kai (a young muso building bass guitars) saw the opportunity nobody else did
    • The mother-and-son dynamic of running a business together
    • Why they're doubling down on local community, face-to-face experience, and the "rockstar moment" instead of chasing online
    • The shift happening in retail right now and why "come in, jam, and feel it" beats "click and ship"
    • Their plans to bring music, events, and culture back to the Illawarra music scene

    🎸 Plus a massive announcement: Free Restring Day on Saturday June 13th, 10am – 4pm at 2/22 Durgadin Drive, Albion Park Rail. Bring any standard acoustic or electric, get it restrung for FREE with strings included (sponsored by D'Addario). Live music. Sausage sizzle. Discounted servicing. Get there early, there should be a line out the door.

    This episode is about legacy, passion, taking imperfect action, and what happens when the right people pick up the torch.

    If you love stories about family business, local entrepreneurship, and people who back themselves, you'll love this one.

  • The Mindset Shift That Actually Grows Your Business (Post-Retreat Reflections) | Ep 97

    Just off the back of our 3-day Business & Mindset Retreat at The Bunker House and the biggest takeaway wasn't the marketing strategy, the AI training, or the sales frameworks. It was the mindset work.

    If you're a business owner who's done all the courses, read all the books, but still feels stuck, this episode is for you.
