Building a slide deck by hand has been a time-consuming endeavor, until now.

Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson break down how to connect Claude to the systems that hold your data, pull the information, analyze it, and then create an on-brand, template-powered slide deck in minutes, not hours.

If you're currently creating slide decks by exporting reports, reformatting numbers, fighting a master slide, and then emailing a PowerPoint file around for feedback, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the manual part is the data, not the design, and how connectors remove it
• What a design system actually is, described as a fancy way of saying your brand guidelines
• How to turn a call transcript into a deck instead of starting from numbers every time
• What to say to a design team that does not want to hand over the template
• How to get feedback with Claude Design using in-context comments that pass straight back to Claude
• How a 60-slide deck was fully animated with a single prompt and no edits

The episode also debuts the "BO Report" (Biggest Obstacle), a new closing segment on the biggest obstacle that teams face related to the episode topic.

This episode is brought to you by Biggest Goal, the company Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson co-founded.

Fifteen years of scaling their own companies taught them that adoption is a people problem long before it's a technology problem, so we train executives and their teams through workshops, cohorts, mastermind groups, and hands-on implementation support.
