Steve Cunningham built a 10-year business around being the best in the world at summarizing business books. Then AI did it in 5 minutes. Instead of fighting it, he burned it down and rebuilt. Now he runs an AI agent operation inside Claude Cowork where 30 minutes of his time replaces 70 man-hours and $14,000 of agency work.
In this episode, Steve walks through his exact setup: the folder structure that treats AI like a company, why HTML is replacing every other file format, the invoice method that rewires how you plan, and the overnight improvement loop that makes his system better while he sleeps.
Plus, Steve is offering GTM AI Academy listeners access to his Black Belt AI Workflow Engineering training. Link in the show notes.
