How I Use Claude Code & Cursor (Ship 10X Faster)
1 december 2025 · 34 min
On this episode I sit down with indie app builder and designer Chris ****Raroque to walk through his real AI coding workflow. Chris explains how he ships a portfolio of productivity apps doing thousands in MRR by pairing Claude Code and Cursor instead of picking just one tool. He live-demos “vibe coding” an iOS animation, then compares how Claude Code and Cursor’s plan mode tackle the same task. The episode closes with concrete tips on plan mode, MCP servers, AI code review, dictation, and deep research so solo devs can build bigger apps than they could alone. Lees meer

03:04 – Which Tools & Models to Use
09:16 – Thoughts on the Vibe Coding Mobile App Landscape
11:14 – Live demo: prompting Claude Code to build an iOS “AI searching” animation
18:07 – Live demo: prompting Cursor with same task
21:02 – Chris’s Best Tips for Vibe Coders
Key Points
You don’t have to pick one IDE copilot: Chris actively switches between Claude Code and Cursor because they have different strengths.
For very complex bug-hunting, he prefers Cursor with plan mode; for big-picture app architecture, he leans on Claude Code with Opus.
Non-developers should start on higher-level “vibe coding” platforms like Create Anything for mobile apps before graduating to Claude/Cursor.
Plan mode plus detailed, spoken prompts dramatically improves code quality, especially for UI and animation work.
MCP servers and AI code review bots let solo developers safely set up infra, enforce security, and catch bugs they’d otherwise miss.
Claude’s deep research is a powerful way to choose the right patterns and libraries before handing implementation back to Claude Code or Cursor.

[DELETED ON YOUTUBE] Best Products of 2025 (Apps, Video Games, AI)
28 november 2025 · 1 uur 3 min
Join me as I sit down with Jonathan Courtney to host the second annual “Sippy Awards,” the most prestigious award show in tech for the products, games, and tools that shaped 2025. We crown our most-hyped products for 2026, favorite games of the year, best productivity tools, and best products under $100. We also dive into analog tools like Traveler’s Notebook, hi-fi systems, Japanese porcelain, and simple clothing uniforms as ways to make everyday life better and de-fragment your brain. Lees meer

25:41 – Premium Domains
29:56 – Best Productivity Product
42:02 – Favorite Product of 2025
54:10 – Best products under $100.
Key Points
The Sippy Awards are a playful but serious way for Greg and Jonathan to highlight the products and games that genuinely improved their lives in 2025.
They argue that cult classics (Wind Waker, Pinkerton, Kid A, Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring) come from creators who put the audience last and follow their own taste, even at the risk of initial backlash.
Distinctive visual identities and premium dot-com domains are framed as both trust builders for users and commitment devices for founders.
Their favorite productivity and lifestyle tools—ChatGPT, Things, Endel, Traveler’s Notebook, YouTube Premium, Japanese porcelain—show how small, well-crafted tools reshape daily workflows and rituals.
Analog practices (morning pages, notebooks, hi-fi listening) and simple clothing uniforms are presented as ways to de-fragment your brain, reduce decision fatigue, and focus on what matters.

Reviewing Claude Opus 4.5
26 november 2025 · 1 uur
I sat down with James, the Boring Marketer, to stress-test Claude 4.5 Opus against Gemini 3 Pro for real-world coding and design work. Together we live-build and compare landing pages and clickable prototypes for an “EstateClear” probate-family dashboard, then zoom out into conversion copywriting frameworks, “elevated direct response” brand voice, and ad creative workflows. The episode is a practical walkthrough of how non-technical builders can go from idea → landing page → prototype → ads using modern AI tools without vibe-coded, low-converting sites. Lees meer

31:38 – Gemini’s prototype and comparing product depth
36:40 – Anti-Gravity + Nano Banana workflow for mockups and code
44:41 – Claude Skills Workflow and Best Practices
56:41 – Final Thoughts
Key Points
Claude 4.5 Opus can act like a senior engineer for non-technical builders when paired with a tight skill and tools setup.
Conversion wins come more from “elevated direct response” copy and clear page architecture than from fancy visuals alone.
Claude’s front-end design skill meaningfully reduces “AI-looking” gradients and vibe-coded layouts, producing cleaner, production-grade UIs.
Live tests show Opus 4.5 generates more refined layouts and deeper product thinking, while Gemini often injects clever AI product features.
Google’s integration of Anti-Gravity, Nano Banana, and AI Studio points to a powerful end-to-end environment for shipping and promoting products.

Build Mobile Apps that Stand Out (Here's the Playbook)
24 november 2025 · 47 min
On this episode I sit down with indie app builder and designer Chris Raroque to break down how solo developers can make apps that truly stand out in a world of “vibe-coded” clones. Chris walks through concrete examples from his own products, Ellie (planning), Luna (budgeting), and Amy (calorie tracking), showing how small details in animations, interactions, and haptics dramatically change how an app feels. We dig into mascots and illustrations, iconography and typography, widgets and Apple Watch apps, and the design resources Chris studies to sharpen his eye. The episode is a practical blueprint for turning AI-assisted prototypes into polished, premium-feeling apps that users remember and keep coming back to. Lees meer

03:54 – Animation and Interactions
20:50 – Illustrations and Mascots
33:57 – Iconography and Typography
37:28 – Widgets
43:04 – Design Inspiration Resources
Key Points
In a world where anyone can ship an AI-generated app in 24 hours, polish and interaction design are the real differentiators.
Thoughtful animations, micro-interactions, and haptics can be the difference between a tweet that flops and one that goes viral.
Mascots and custom illustrations give apps a recognizable personality and can transform empty states and onboarding into memorable moments.
Consistent iconography and basic typography choices have outsized impact on perceived quality, yet are often overlooked by “vibe-coded” apps.
Home screen, lock screen, and watch widgets act as retention engines by giving apps constant real estate in users’ daily flows.
Continuously studying well-designed apps and curated UI libraries sharpens design taste and makes it easier to brief AI tools effectively.

Is Gemini 3 a 10x designer? I Wanted Proof.
21 november 2025 · 29 min
On today’s episode I stress-test Gemini 3.0 in Google AI Studio to see how good it really is as a designer, not just a code generator. Across the episode, I ask Gemini to redesign my personal website in a Windows XP–inspired style, build a restaurant analytics SaaS dashboard, and create a workout mobile app inspired by the “Brain Rot” app. Along the way, I experiment with prompts, visual annotations, and reference images to see how well Gemini takes feedback. By the end, he’s rating each build. Lees meer

00:54 – Personal Website
15:48 – SaaS
21:52 – Mobile App
26:35 – AntiGravity
27:17 – Final rating and takeaways
Key Points
Gemini 3.0 can now generate full, styled web and mobile UIs (not just “purple Tailwind vibe-coded” layouts) when given strong prompts and references. greg-take-02
A Windows XP–themed personal site, built from a screenshot and a short prompt, impresses Greg enough that he considers redoing his actual homepage. greg-take-02
Visual annotation inside Google AI Studio (drawing on the canvas and commenting) is a powerful way to refine icons, backgrounds, and layout without “speaking designer.” greg-take-02
A restaurant analytics SaaS dashboard (“Chef OS”) shows how combining Dribbble shots + Teenage Engineering hardware as references pushes Gemini toward more tactile, “real button” UI. greg-take-02
The “Gains” workout app, modeled on the Brain Rot app, demonstrates that AI can remix an existing product pattern into a new behavior-change app with streaks, goals, and a reactive mascot. greg-take-02
Greg’s big takeaway: good ideas + taste + references + Gemini 3.0 let non-designers ship highly differentiated experiences, raising their odds of standing out. greg-take-02

I got a private lesson on Google's NEW Gemini 3.0 AI Model
18 november 2025 · 39 min
Get a private, on-screen walkthrough of Google’s new Gemini 3.0 with Logan Kilpatrick. We vibe-code full apps, games, and product UIs in real time. You’ll see how to go from raw idea to working product in a single prompt, then iterate visually with design, features, and AI workflows. They turn an IdeaBrowser concept into a live talent-matching platform, screenshot-clone the IdeaBrowser UI, wire up a “generate tomorrow’s idea” feature grounded in Google Search, and even add co-founder matching on top. If you’re building with AI or still on the fence, this episode shows what’s now possible with Gemini 3.0 Pro in AI Studio. Lees meer
Timestamps
00:00 – Intro
01:00 – What Gemini 3 is and where it lives (Gemini app, AI Studio, API)
03:03 – Vibe Coding 3D games
09:27 – Vibe Coding an idea from IdeaBrowser
25:02 – Screenshot-cloning the IdeaBrowser UI and regenerating it in Gemini
Key Points
Gemini 3.0 Pro in AI Studio lets you “vibe code” full apps—UI, logic, and AI features—from natural-language prompts, then iteratively refine them.
Games and complex simulations are a stress-test and showcase for the model’s capabilities, not just toys.
You can paste an entire business idea (like IdeaBrowser’s generational talent-matching concept) into AI Studio and get a working, multi-screen product with AI-powered workflows.
Gemini 3.0 Pro is free to use inside AI Studio up to generous limits, and the API is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $12 per million output tokens under 200K input tokens.
Screenshot-driven UI cloning plus “add five more features” prompts are powerful loops for product and UX ideation.
You can layer social features like co-founder matching directly on top of idea-discovery products with only a few additional prompts.

Screensharing $90M of Startup Finance Lessons in 32 Minutes
17 november 2025 · 32 min
Master Your Cashflow (Templates Included): https://startup-ideas-pod.link/money-map Lees meer
On this episode, I share my simple financial operating system that helps me run my business. I share actual workflows that have saved one of my portfolio company from an 11-week runway crisis (when they thought they had 8 months), and the templates behind his 13-week cash tracker, Bear/Base/Bull decision framework, and one-page board report. This is a rare look inside the tactics I use to think about cash flow, dilution strategy, and building companies that don't run out of runway by accident.

00:00 – Intro: The whiteboard that saved two companies

08:14 – Rule 3: Extend Runway

15:06 – Rule 5: Cards and Credit
18:01 – Rule 6: Track 5 Weekly Metrics
20:00 – Rule 7: The Monthly One-Pager
21:12 – Rule 8: Tools and Automation
26:11 – Rule 9: Dilution Mindset
27:59 – How to implement: The weekly rhythm in practice
29:31 – Action plan and closing
Key Points
Your P&L lies about survival—one portfolio company thought they had 8 months of runway but actually had 11 weeks when mapped to real cash flow
The Bear/Base/Bull decision framework prevents emotional spending: if two-plus scenarios say no, wait (a $60K conference booth was rejected in bear case, approved two months later in bull case)
Acquisitions happen in 48 hours—keep a 10-file data room updated quarterly so you can respond to Tuesday emails with Wednesday meetings
Trust doesn't scale, policy does: weekly corporate card reviews caught an $8K personal ad spend in 7 days instead of 30
The system runs itself once built: 15 minutes Monday + 30 minutes Friday + 4 hours/month replaces heroic monthly scrambles
Every dollar raised costs ownership forever—cutting $40K/month burn has the s…

Gamification UI: Duolingo did it. Social platforms are built on it. More apps and websites are adding points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges.
The opportunity: Launch an agency specializing exclusively in gamification. Start at $10K/month.
News Item
Ex-Reddit CEO: "AI Startups Have 12-18 Months"
Yishan's viral take (20M views): AI apps are flash-in-the-pan cash grabs. Foundational models will crush them.
Greg's counter: Great AI wrappers that own workflows, customers, and network effects will build billion-dollar companies. Remember when everyone said Apple would clone every successful app? That didn't happen.
Product Framework:
3-Step Creator Growth Playbook for SaaS
Attach the right creator (target 120K followers or less for higher response rates)

This App Hit 2M Users with Creators Who Had 0 Followers (Here's How)
17 september 2025 · 28 min
Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider where we dive deep into how brands can leverage short-form content creators instead of traditional influencers to achieve better marketing ROI. He breaks down the economics of creator partnerships ($900/month for daily content across platforms vs. $2,000 for a single influencer post) and demonstrates how the for-you-page algorithm allows creators with zero followers to potentially reach massive audiences. The strategy works particularly well for mobile apps, e-commerce products, and services with straightforward value propositions. Lees meer
Timestamps:
00:00 Intro
01:26 - Why Short-Form Marketing?
02:55 - Creator vs. Influencer Marketing Explained

16:04 - How to Find and Work with Creators
19:49 - The Drawbacks of this Strategy
20:27 - Tools for Managing and Tracking Campaign Performance
22:56 - Final Thoughts and Conclusions
Key Points:
• Creator marketing is more cost-effective than traditional influencer marketing, especially for mobile apps and B2C products
• For-you-page algorithms have changed how content reaches audiences, making follower count less important than content quality
• Working with multiple creators (5-10) creates a compound learning effect where successful formats can be shared across the team
• This strategy works best for products with simple value propositions that can be purchased impulsively on mobile devices

The YouTube Loophole Printing $1M+ for SaaS Startups Right Now
15 september 2025 · 27 min
Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about the power of using YouTube Creators for influencer marketing. Cody explains a step-by-step playbook for acquiring customers through YouTube creator partnerships. The strategy involves reaching out to 100+ creators in your niche, offering a three-video package plus affiliate commission, identifying which creators drive the most conversions, then putting top performers on monthly retainers. This creates a scalable system where you eventually have dozens of creators regularly making content about your product, with trackable ROI through affiliate links. Lees meer
Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
01:03 - Why partner with Youtube Creators
04:38 - How to find and contact YouTube creators

19:12 - The numbers and scaling the process
22:06 - Biggest Bottleneck
22:50 - Automating the process
24:47 - Why start now
Key Points:
• YouTube creators + affiliate marketing is an effective strategy for getting initial customers, especially for SMB products with one killer feature
• The strategy works by reaching out to creators, having them make videos about your product, and giving them affiliate commissions
• This is a marketing arbitrage opportunity because many smaller creators (10k-50k subscribers) don't know how to properly price themselves
• The goal is to identify underpriced creators, test them, then put the best performers on retainer to create monthly content

what the heck is GEO (AI search, rankings, $$$)
12 september 2025 · 24 min
Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about AI Search. Cody explains that while AI search (GEO) is generating buzz, it currently represents a small portion of overall search volume compared to traditional search engines. The value lies in highly qualified leads, with conversion rates of 10-40% from AI search traffic. To optimize for AI search, businesses need to identify which URLs are being referenced by AI for relevant queries and work to get their brand mentioned on those pages. Lees meer

16:45 - Why are people obsessed with GEO
19:56 - Discussion of available tracking tools

Key Points:
• GEO (AI Search) refers to search queries through AI platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini
• AI search works by expanding user queries into multiple derivative searches, then scraping top Google results
• Most effective for businesses with long purchasing decision timelines (SaaS, local service businesses)
• Success requires getting your brand mentioned on multiple high-ranking pages that AI references

The Most Overlooked $10K/mo AI Startup Anyone Can Start
13 augustus 2025 · 17 min
Get the exact blueprint to from $0 to $25K+ MRR (Diagram Included): https://www.gregisenberg.com/startup-blueprint Lees meer
On this episode I present my three-phase approach to building an AI startup. Begin with a "leveraged agency" model, unlike traditional VC-backed startups, this method starts with manual service delivery to understand edge cases. Then implement AI agents to automate processes while maintaining pricing. And finally scale through multiple tiers and content distribution. This approach allows founders to be profitable from month one, retain equity, and build based on real customer pain points.

09:13 - Building in public and content strategy
11:34 - AI Agent Systemization
12:24 - Pricing System
13:57 - Why this Approach WorksKey Points:
• Start with a manual service agency focused on one boring, painful task ($1K-$5K/month)
• Transition to using AI agents to automate processes, doubling margins and scaling clients
• Create multiple pricing tiers (enterprise, self-serve, API) to reach $5M ARR
• Build an audience through daily content creation to drive customer acquisition
