Episode notes
INSIGHT

Right Tools, Not More Tools

  • Most solopreneurs grab shiny AI tools without strategic thinking, creating digital chaos instead of productivity.
  • Kevin Williams argues the real value is fewer, well-integrated tools that form a cohesive workflow.
ADVICE

Ask Build, Buy, Or Delay

  • Decide if a solution is a build, buy, or delay decision before investing time or money.
  • Only build workflows when they provide a true competitive advantage not available in the marketplace.
ADVICE

Prototype With AI Workflow Builders

  • Use workflow tools with an AI layer, like n8n, to parse and act on complex documents automatically.
  • Prototype in these builders, then move to custom dev only when scaling demands it.
