Episode 2161 - Vibe Coding Bugs and the Workflow Fix

Launch a business in 30 days with AI is the experiment I am testing on day 19, and today I share where the build stands. I am taking a business concept to profit in 30 days with AI doing 90% of the workload. Six modules are in build at once, covering systemisation, HR and team records, and content marketing. First drafts are due tomorrow. Next week brings migration to a more robust back end. The final week covers marketing campaigns and assets for launch.I am honest about the outcome. A first customer inside 30 days is possible but not guaranteed. I will be live and able to take payment by day 30. The experiment proves the route is possible, and a weekly plan across six weeks is the reason I am on track. I also talk about the rule of three and why a plan needs room to move.This is consecutive day 2,174 of my streak. I have run 16,683.79km towards 40,075km, with 23,391.21km to go. I run barefoot style to raise £1M for children's causes.

Today is day 17 of my 30-day AI experiment, taking a business concept to profit in 30 days with AI doing 90% of the workload. I am about 60 to 65% through the module build, with around ten modules left this week. Today I made headway on the systemisation section. Business owners learn to document their processes with AI, then build agents to run autonomous workflows. Three of the four modules are done, and I knit them together this evening. I am also honest about what is coming. I expect bugs, errors and issues at launch, and my commitment is to be upfront and fix problems promptly. The lesson for me today is to see your progress and avoid looking too far ahead. Take bite-sized chunks and do what needs doing each day. I know this from running. This is consecutive day 2,173, I have covered 16,676.68km, and 23,398.32km remain on a lap of the world. Each day is the unit of work. Everything I do ties to raising £1M for children's causes through the ultimate ultra-marathon of run vlogging, barefoot style. The more people I reach, the more we raise. If you have questions on AI and business systems, send them in and I will respond where relevant. #aiforbusiness #businesssystems #consistency #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/ym_-AhwqFfo

Today is consecutive day 2,171 of my daily run vlog, and day 16 of my 30 day challenge to take a business concept to profit using AI for 90% of the workload.Progress has slowed, and the reason matters. In the early stages everything you build gives you something visible, so it feels fast. Now I have around 20 modules, my team is testing them, and roughly half my time goes on fixing bugs in work I thought was finished.I talk through what I changed. Fixes used to take five to seven rounds of back and forth with the AI. I now use documented skills for writing clearer prompts, verifying that a fix works, auditing a whole module with a score out of 100, and building a plan I approve before any feature is built. My estimate is that it has cut iterations in half and gained me four to five times on the tasks that had slowed down. That is my own estimate, not a measured figure.The lesson is the same one the streak teaches me. Early enthusiasm fades, and process carries the work from there. I am planning for a 16.5 year streak, so I expect many stretches where progress looks slower. I have covered 16,662.44km, with 23,412.56km still to run on the 40,075km lap of the world, and I do it to raise £1M for children's causes.If you are building with AI or running a business, I hope this saves you some wasted rounds.

Today is day 2170 of my daily run vlog. I have covered 16,655.18km, with 23,419.82km left of the 40,075km lap of the world. Today I talk about gratitude when life is difficult.Over the past couple of years, four of my businesses have paid a price for industry changes, environmental factors and advances in AI. I have lost a significant amount of money. Looking at the losses alone, I could say everything is falling apart. Looking at my highest value, I see something different. My family is fit, well and happy as far as I know, and I am grateful for this.I explain the seven areas of life: financial, social, vocational, familial, mental, physical and spiritual. I explain why ranking them matters, and why starting gratitude in your highest value area works. Mine is familial. I share two recent moments. Yesterday I took my parents and my youngest son to a concert, three generations together. Today I helped my father-in-law put new beds together.Gratitude does not remove a problem. Practised often, it compounds. You think more clearly and you fix more. The idea matches my running streak: small, repeated, consistent.This podcast is part of a fundraiser for children's causes, with a target of £1M. The lap of the world runs barefoot style, one day at a time.

Today is day 2169 of my daily run, and I spend this episode on a question from Saturday football. Do you play to win, or do you play to participate?My youngest son's team finished second in Division 1 and beat a side containing three former teammates who left for teams where winning matters more. Later, my under-15s fell 4-0 behind at half-time, won the second half 3-2 and lost 6-3.Next season is the boys' final year of colts football. Two strong local lads want to join. Most of the squad wants them in. The cost falls on a couple of weaker players who have stayed loyal for years. My gut says give the group a chance to win something, keep everyone in the squad and rotate game time honestly. I am still torn, and the decision belongs to the whole team, players included.I have always played to win, yet the brotherhood in this squad came from participation. Some of our strongest players were once our weakest. The lesson for me is that the answer depends on the stage, and fairness depends on how we treat the players who give up minutes.My streak holds the same tension. Showing up daily is participation. Finishing 40,075km is the win. I have covered 16,647.40km, with 23,427.60km remaining, and every day is part of a fundraiser aiming for £1M for children's causes.If you coach or play, tell me how you decide.

Patience in business is a double edged sword. Most of us want a quick return for our effort, and in business the return rarely comes quickly. In this episode, recorded on day 2168 of my daily run, I talk about how to tell patient waiting from drifting.I use a cartoon of two diamond miners to show the cost of quitting too soon. Then I explain the other side. If you have not done the work that produces a result, waiting only lets time and overheads work against you.My own example is my real estate business. I built it over 20 years and neglected it, because my ADHD and entrepreneurial habits pulled me towards other ventures. Over the last part of the year I have worked on optimising it. Everything went back into renovations, and I saw no financial return. It felt like a hamster wheel. I stayed because I track metrics and forecasts, and the numbers said the return was worth the effort. I think I am three to six months from full optimisation, and the first signs of return are showing.The lesson for me is simple. Do the right things early, keep doing them, measure as you go, and be patient only when the evidence supports it.Today's total is 16,640.32km, with 23,434.68km left of my 40,075km lap of the world. I run barefoot-style every day to raise £1M for children's causes. If you believe in the mission, subscribe, like and comment.

Today I talk about partnerships and collaborations, because I have just agreed one. A new startup called Strydian is building a subscription service that matches songs in your Apple Music or Spotify library to your running cadence. Another runner introduced me to the founder, we spoke, and we found a good fit. I will test the service and share honest feedback. She will treat me as a founding member and mention the Runpreneur mission. I mention her product. I receive no money, because everything I do with Runpreneur is philanthropic. Any benefit comes through awareness for the fundraiser.In this episode I explain what makes a partnership fair. Both sides need something relevant to offer. Size matters, so look for like-for-like exchanges before asking someone far bigger for help. If you want more exposure, you can pay for access, give products to people with the right audience, or set up an affiliate arrangement. I also mention smaller collaborations with coffee and cafe providers.This is consecutive day 2,167. I have covered 16,633.03km of the 40,075km lap of the world, with 23,441.97km remaining. The mission is to raise £1M for children's causes. I cannot say yet how much this partnership will help, and I will report honestly once I know. If you are building a partnership of your own, start by asking what makes it worthwhile for the other person. #partnerships #collaboration #streakrunning #barefootrunning #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/IWc3V3Kp_EQ

Returning from injury asks more of us than the injury itself. This week, my podiatrist and I agreed I will not run a spring marathon, even though my foot has healed well.About five and a half to six months ago, I broke the third metatarsal in my right foot. A corn on the sole created a pressure point, and the volume of daily running pushed the bone past its limit. I kept the streak going at 5km a day, then built back up over about 16 weeks to my 16,625.96km daily average.In this episode I talk through why looking healed is different from being ready for marathon training. I share what a medical professional told me about the idea that bones heal stronger, and why joints and soft tissue injuries sometimes linger for good. For a barefoot-style runner, a marathon is an extreme load on the feet, and I think close to 12 months is the right wait before I take one on again.I still train every day. I am aiming for a marathon around October, possibly two, and I accept I may not fit in all I planned.I am on Day 2166. I have run 16,625.96km, with 23,449.04km left to complete 40,075km. The daily streak, the lap of the world and the £1M for children's causes all depend on a body that keeps running. Holding back now protects all three.If you have returned to sport after injury, I would like to hear how you made the call. #returningfrominjury #injuryrecovery #barefootrunning #streakrunning #ukrunnerscommunity #runnerslifestyle #ultrarunninglife #runformentalhealth #strava #stravarun #Insta360 #vibramfivefingersWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/zRJfI3Ps1-Q

Helping others in tough times is today's topic, and it comes from something that happened in my own day. I found out that someone in my close network had been made unemployed. They have a young family and were struggling to see a way forward. I took an hour out of my day to phone them, listen and offer advice where I could.What stayed with me was not the advice. It was the change in their voice between the start of the call and the end. They sounded more confident in themselves, and nothing about their circumstances had changed. They had realised someone beyond their immediate family cared. I talk about why struggle is relative, why something small to one person can feel catastrophic to another, and why a phone call or a coffee means more than a text message.This is Day 2165 of my daily barefoot-style running streak. I have covered 16,618.77 km of the 40,075 km lap of the world, with 23,456.23 km to go. The run is part of a fundraiser for children's causes, with a goal of £1M. Consistency is how I run, and I want to bring the same habit to how I treat people.My ask is simple. Think of one person you know who is finding things hard, and reach out to them this week.

Today is day 2,164 of my daily running streak, and I am answering a question I get asked as a runner: how long should you wait after eating before you run?My rule is at least two hours. Some people say 90 minutes and some say three. I have stuck to two for years. I explain what changes the answer: how much I have eaten, what I have eaten and how my body reacts to it. Processed food, high sugar and high saturated fat sit longer, so I leave more time after those.I am honest about the mistakes. I have a sensitive digestion, and because I run every day, I sometimes squeeze a run in too soon after a meal. I have had stomach aches, stitches, reflux and runs cut short. I also talk about a Zoe App scheme I took part in, which showed me which foods my body handles well.I share the campfire picture I use for digestion, and why staying hydrated helps. The wider lesson is about consistency. A daily streak rewards preparation, and meal timing is part of that.So far I have run 16,611.59 km of the 40,075 km lap of the world, with 23,463.41 km remaining. Every run supports my aim to raise £1M for children's causes.
