How often do you feel overwhelmed by all the steps it takes to produce content? From research to recording, editing, publishing, and repurposing, it’s a lot. Today, I’m putting the spotlight on co-host Nick Nalbach, who recently built a custom project management app to tackle this exact problem. Even more impressive? He built it in just 48 hours using AI, and he’s not a coder.

We talk about the mental load that comes with content creation, what inspired the build, and how his app helps track time spent on each task. The idea is simple: know how long things really take so you can plan better and stop beating yourself up. We also dig into how AI will soon help the app suggest when to work on creative vs. admin tasks based on your personal productivity rhythms.

Plus, I share my first impressions of the new Zoom PodTrak P4Next, a portable, affordable podcasting tool that could be a smart option for creators on the go. Whether you’re a gearhead or not, I think you’ll find this conversation equal parts inspiring and practical.
