Episode notes

Peter Yang spent 10+ years building products at Roblox, Reddit, Amazon (Twitch), and Meta. Then he walked away from a high-paying job at Roblox to go all-in as a solo builder. His newsletter Behind the Craft has 140K+ readers, and his podcast has deep conversations with 30+ AI leaders from Anthropic, Google, Cursor, and Replit. In this episode he breaks down how: how to move from using AI like a search engine to building systems that run your work, how to build a personal AI that knows your strategy, and the one thing to do this week to get ahead. We cover: The 5 layers of AI adoption, from "I ask ChatGPT questions" to "AI runs my whole operation," and how to find which layer you're actually on Why you should stop using ChatGPT and Claude chat and switch to Codex or Claude Code, even if you've never written a line of code The one-day reset: cancel every meeting, brain-dump your real workflows out loud, and let AI turn them into skills that save hours every week TRICK: the personal advisor skill - a one-page Google Doc with your goal, your principles, and what gives vs.
