This might be the most honest, unfiltered conversation about being a content creator you'll ever hear. Robert and Ashley have known each other since they were teenagers working at a movie theater, and now they're both navigating the chaos of making money as content creators in an AI-disrupted world—and they're holding nothing back.

From admitting they both hate social media (while being on it constantly) to confessing they still don't know what they want to be when they grow up, this accountability session covers building service pages, cross-promotion strategies, the struggle of having creative minds without business brains, and why "doing what you love" still requires figuring out how to eat. Robert commits to finally monetizing Crooked Table Productions properly, Ashley shares her fitness podcast pivot, and they both agree: you can't just have a blog anymore in 2025. Fair warning—this episode includes tangents about ramen noodles, station prep, and whether Famous Ashley Grant is actually a porn site.

What if you could write a book in a weekend? Psychiatric nurse practitioner Andrew Hewitt did exactly that, creating four comprehensive business books in just 60 hours by using AI as an interview coach instead of a ghostwriter. In this game-changing episode, Andrew reveals his exact process for turning his expertise into published books without spending years writing or letting AI put words in his mouth.

Ashley and Andrew dive deep into the ethical way to use AI for content creation, the difference between having AI write for you versus having it guide you, and why this method works brilliantly for experts who are too busy to write but have knowledge worth sharing. Andrew also shares his incredible journey from homelessness to running three successful companies, his philosophy on betting on yourself, and how he helps other healthcare practitioners break free from corporate jobs to build their own practices. Plus, hear the inspiring story of how he refused to let a colleague give up on her dreams, leading to a thriving practice and a lasting friendship built on collaboration over competition.
