TL;DR — THE STACK IN 60 SECONDS Don't collect tools. Assign them jobs. Seven jobs cover a growth team: thinking, research, writing, visuals, video, automation, and data.

The starter stack: one LLM + Perplexity + Zapier or Make + Canva + one specialist for your biggest bottleneck. Roughly $150–200/month. AI compresses execution, not judgment. It makes a good growth process faster. It cannot replace one.

Turned 40, Restarting My Writing Journey
I turned 40 this year. It’s one of those moments that make you stop and look back. Almost 18 years in this industry now — building products, working with different startups, some small, some bigger, all of them teaching me something. It’s been a good ride, honestly.
