    This episode is a must-listen if you're a solopreneur or small business owner who's curious about AI but doesn’t speak “tech.”

    I sat down with Jacob Bank, founder and CEO of Relay.app—a no-code platform that lets you build your own AI agents (even if you’ve never written a line of code). Jacob shares exactly how he uses 40+ AI agents to run marketing, support, sales, finance, and more... all without a team.

    This isn’t theoretical. Jacob is doing this right now—running a full company solo, with the help of AI.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • What an AI agent actually is (and why it's not just a chatbot)
    • The simple 5-step workflow Jacob uses for repurposing content on autopilot
    • The one chart that changed everything (hint: it's got 40 AI agents on it)
    • How to think in flowcharts instead of tech terms
    • Why AI is still underhyped—yes, underhyped
    • The critical skill that every solopreneur should start building now

    This is one of those episodes you’ll return to whenever you’re ready to take your business automation to the next level—it’s that good.
