In this brutally honest first installment of a two-part series, Liam exposes the true bottleneck in his journey: the war between his complex AI empire and his own ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder).

Liam is building four AI assistants (Guru, PodGuru, Scribe, SkoolGuru) for leverage, but the development process has triggered a destructive loop of over-engineering and burnout. We dive deep into the paradox of the PodGuru Trap—how trying to automate simplicity led to frustrating chaos.

Part 1 is the diagnosis. Liam unpacks the mental toll, revealing why the common entrepreneurial belief in multitasking is a fatal lie and how the internal Crash Cycle—Idea, Spike, Shutdown, Repeat—is eroding his discipline and self-trust.

The episode closes on a powerful cliffhanger: the recognition that he is losing the battle and must implement a radical, painful solution to save his business. Tune in to Part 2 next week for the Radical Subtraction plan.

Please note the following Gemini conversation regarding the comparison Liam made between AI and quantum computing. This will better explain where he was coming from in case there's any confusion:
