Stop wasting hours editing. In this episode, we build an AI automation workflow LIVE — turning raw podcast recordings into edited clips and social media posts, completely hands-free.

We break down how to use AI agents like Tasklet to create an end-to-end automated workflow that handles video editing, clip selection, and social media posting. How APIs from platforms like Riverside.fm and Opus Clip connect to automate tasks that normally take hours. And how Michael built the entire workflow in 15 minutes while we were still recording.

If you're a podcaster, YouTuber, or content creator who wants to stop spending more time editing than creating — this is the episode.

Along the way: Unbox Therapy as a dream job, Instagram deleting million-follower accounts overnight, driving a Ferrari 296 at Texas Motor Speedway, Will's 200-300 songs on Suno, and Will finding out he's obsolete in real time.

Life before social media was better. Michael tried to buy a flip phone at T-Mobile and it came with Facebook pre-installed.

Will and Michael talk about what life was like when you knocked on someone's door to see if they were home, why hustle culture never actually stopped, and how without God's sovereignty the world would implode in less than a day. Along the way — internet trolls, VC funding killing companies, the Tower of Babel, Mars missions, and whether all this "progress" actually made life better.

This episode is about questioning whether connection got worse the moment we got infinite access to each other.

In a world saturated with AI-generated content, are your own ideas getting lost?

Dive into a candid conversation about the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence on our creativity and communication. We break down the hilarious but cautionary tale of the "death march penguin" as a metaphor for the misinformation rabbit holes AI can create, the crucial difference between using AI as a tool and letting it replace your core thinking, and why your greatest asset is your original thought.

From critiquing common "AI-isms" in platforms like Claude and ChatGPT to debating the future of human interaction — if you're a creator, professional, or anyone looking to maintain authenticity in an increasingly automated world, this one's for you.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT:— The Ultimate Differentiator: In an AI-saturated landscape, the most effective way to stand out is by leveraging your unique voice and original thought.— Beware AI Rabbit Holes: Be critical of AI-generated narratives, like the "death march penguin" story, which can easily blur the lines between reality and fiction.— AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch: Use AI to refine and structure your ideas, but never as a replacement for your own thinking process.— Fight Repetitive AI Content: Create a personal list of "AI-isms" to instruct your AI to avoid, preserving your authentic voice.

We prayed for hot water with our two-year-old. The instant we said "amen," every faucet in the house turned on. Not a second later. The exact moment.

Will shares the testimony of what happened during the freeze when his entire family was sick and God showed up in undeniable ways. Michael talks about going from zero to eight clients in two months after finally surrendering his consulting business to God. This conversation is about what happens when you stop launching projects without God in the middle of it, why entrepreneurial trauma keeps you from your calling, and how to make room in your heart for Jesus instead of competing with His joy.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT:— Hot water miracle: God answered the instant we said "amen"— Michael's business: 0 to 8 clients in 2 months after surrender— "What's one more thing if God's not in the middle of it?"— Why Will keeps buying things and selling them 6 weeks later— Making room in your heart for Jesus (the only project that matters)

This episode is about what happens when you finally stop trying to figure everything out yourself and surrender it to God first.

The moments before life changes are rarely polished. They’re honest, uncertain, and sacred.

We’re about to become a family of four. This is the conversation before everything shifts again.

In this episode, Will Abel sits down with his wife Sarah for her first full appearance to talk through what no one tells you about a second pregnancy, the spiritual side of nesting, and the weight of preparing for something you know will change you. Eight years into marriage, raising a two year old named Waylon, and preparing to welcome Avery June, this is not advice. It’s two people figuring it out in real time.

From friendships that correct instead of cheer, to inviting God into the war room of decision making, to the tension between career identity and Kingdom focus, this conversation moves beyond parenting into faith, marriage, and personal surrender. If you’ve ever felt underqualified for what’s next, this one meets you there.

Key Topics Covered:

• The emotional and spiritual realities of second pregnancies

• Nesting as preparation beyond the physical

• Postpartum truths and mental readiness

• Inviting God into decision making and leadership

• Marriage alignment through seasons of change

• Career identity versus Kingdom identity

• The value of friendships that challenge and refine

• Preparing for life transitions with faith instead of fear

Identity gets interesting when curiosity turns inward.

When we asked ChatGPT what our names meant, the answers landed closer to reality than expected. Michael as the watchman guarding boundaries. William as the resolute protector leading with intention. What started as a light experiment turned into a deeper conversation about identity, presence, discipline, and the long term cost of grinding without reflection.

This episode moves through psychology, fitness mindset, sleep debt, and the subtle ways environment and habits shape how we show up daily. From gym behavior patterns to oilfield endurance realities, and from nutritional discipline to leadership awareness, the discussion explores how builders learn to balance ambition with stewardship of their own capacity.

If you have been pushing forward without checking alignment or sustainability, this conversation offers reflection on identity, intentional presence, and protecting your future self.

Key Topics Covered:

• AI driven identity reflections and name meaning analysis

• Nominative determinism and archetypal alignment

• Conscious presence versus passive participation

• Gym psychology and behavioral motivation patterns

• Sleep sacrifice and long term performance cost

• Oilfield endurance realities and body resets

• Nutritional discipline and moderation strategy

• Habit awareness and behavioral triggers

• Identity shaped through discipline and environment

The best conversations start random and end up exposing something real.

Your brain is not multitasking. It is just switching fast and doing it poorly. That realization set the tone for a conversation that started with floating lemons and sinking limes, detoured through getting walked out of high school, and landed on whether people actually want connection or just perform it online.

In this episode, Will and Michael move between business realities, AI adoption, stewardship, and identity with the unscripted flow that defines the show. From losing clients and hiring employees to navigating capital responsibility and digital distraction, this conversation blends humor with grounded reflection on how builders think, adapt, and grow in real time.

If you are building in tech, business, or simply trying to stay intentional in a noisy world, this episode touches on decision fatigue, articulation in the age of AI, and the emotional parallels between online and in person rejection.

Key Topics Covered:

• Michael’s high school turning point and early direction

• Decision fatigue and cognitive switching

• Losing and gaining clients while scaling

• Fractional data security and subscription models

• Stewardship and capital deployment in 2026

• AI tool shifts and articulation as a skill

• Coding, automation, and accessibility of tech learning

• Real connection versus performative connection

• Emotional response to digital rejection

The best conversations happen when you stop trying to manufacture them.

Will thought it was spelled “Washa.” Michael roasted Jessica’s cross-eyed tendencies. And somewhere between laughs and randomness, this episode turned into one of the most transparent conversations yet about creativity, identity, and what it actually means to stick with something for four years.

This one moves freely. From creative energy and beard philosophy to testing business ideas without blowing up your life, the discussion lands on persistence, prayer over planning, and learning how to listen when direction matters most. It is messy, reflective, and grounded in the reality of showing up consistently even when clarity is still forming.

If you are building, creating, or simply trying to stay committed to something meaningful, this conversation reminds you that progress often looks imperfect while it is happening.

Key Topics Covered:

• Creative energy distribution and burnout

• The meaning of a four-year commitment

• Identity expressed through small personal choices

• Testing ideas without destabilizing life

• Starting with one client and building momentum

• Prayer, listening, and faith-led planning

• Where creatives actually find inspiration

In this episode of Unscriptd, Will Abel and Michael Grier lock in on how to plan 2026 with clarity instead of pressure.
