I solved a huge marketing and social pain point with AI. The team connects their Google Drive and Dropbox. Claude then recreates a much lighter thumbnail for speed of loads. Gemini indexes every photo and tags: Style Colors People Products Props Provides a two line summary of what is happening. The photos get bucketed. This runs every 4 hours for new photos added. Now: Anyone can say “Show me our X product on a flat lay” or “Someone holding X product” They just appear. Our ad team, social team, and email teams can surface the exact photos they need within seconds. No more file structure issues. Weird names. Losing huge photo sets. Having to remember anything. I’m using Gemini 2.0-Flash. Costs you a couple dollars for 10,000 photos.

The best investment I made last year was only $100. I paid a local college coder dude $100 to sit with me for an hour at a coffee shop and teach me terminal and connect Claude Code to my computer. You've probably not used terminal much, so you might be thinking I'm over hyping this, but I promise you this is a MASSIVE unlock. An actual. literal. modern. SUPER POWER. You can do things via terminal that your browser or even your AI just cannot. For example, recently most of the Youtube Downloader chrome extensions were taken down or made in effective. Well... still light work for terminal. Look, listen to me, don't listen to me, doesn't change my day. I'm still doing cool stuff and fillin my bank account, just trying to help who I can, where I can. LEARN TERMINAL! Hire a local nerd for an hour and just ask him to install stuff and explain stuff. Do this weekly or monthly if you must, but trust me, you'll love this.

vibe coded The Epstein Files podcast with Claude in a weekend and just crossed 100,000 downloads in its first week. to put that in perspective: the top 1% of all podcasts globally get around 5,000 downloads in their first 7 days. this did 100k. that's 20x the top 1% threshold. the average podcast gets 141 downloads in its first 30 days. most spend 18+ months trying to crack 1,000 per episode. a lot never get there and there are 4.5 million podcasts out there right now. no fancy studio. no production team. just Claude, a mac mini, and a weekend of focused work curating the right approach to this series. still processing this one honestly.
