i made my 4.1M Threads workflow free

Lennox Saint — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 01:36:16 +0800

i made the Daily Greatest Hits workflow free. this episode is adapted from the YouTube walkthrough, so the video version has the full screen-share. the audio version gives you the core operator logic: stop asking AI to invent from scratch, feed it the posts your audience already rewarded, then turn that proof into daily candidates with explicit approval gates. watch the YouTube version: https://youtu.be/WEWqS9nZSnY get the free Daily Greatest Hits workflow inside Codex Club: https://www.skool.com/codexclub/free-daily-greatest-hits-workflow what this covers: - the 30-day proof stack - why Greatest Hits beats generic AI ideation - how Codex and Threadify turn proven Threads posts into daily candidates - where the safety gates sit before anything posts - how the public Threadify Workflows repo fits into the member/customer workflow

i used Codex for 350 hours. it runs my business now

Lennox Saint — Mon, 25 May 2026 19:47:30 +0800

i spent 350+ hours inside OpenAI Codex and this is the real workflow. this episode is adapted from a Loom-style walkthrough, so the YouTube version has the full screen-share. the audio version still gives you the core mental model: Codex is not where you ask questions.

stop using Codex like ChatGPT. build the AI employee instead

Lennox Saint — Sun, 24 May 2026 18:23:21 +0800

This is the shortened Codex masterclass for normal creators and operators. The big idea: stop asking what Codex can do and start telling it the job you want done. In this episode, Lennox shows how to turn Codex from a scary developer tool into an AI employee: one that can use plugins, follow skills, create artifacts, read audience signal from emails and comments, and help build the chain from carousel to lead magnet to landing page to launch video.

i fed AI 27,000 naval tweets. you're copying the wrong thing.

Lennox Saint — Sat, 23 May 2026 21:29:54 +0800

i fed every public tweet Naval Ravikant has posted - 27,026 of them - into an AI to find the lesson beginner creators keep missing. It is not "write shorter." Short is the part everyone copies and the part that matters least. The real move is earned compression: build the proof first, then cut it down to one plain sentence that can actually hold the weight. Inside: - why copying Naval's short, calm style makes you sound fake-deep - what the corpus actually shows: compression, not brevity - the five-step floor for writing short posts that have weight - how Threadify turns messy field notes into clean earned sentences Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/IwIgXuL5jDo Threadify helps you turn raw proof into clear posts: https://threadify.app/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=naval-ai-content-forensics&utm_content=episode&video_slug=naval-forensics&cta_slot=podcast-description&entry_angle=proof-first

5 youtube rules i killed after watching every casey neistat video

Lennox Saint — Thu, 21 May 2026 01:34:54 +0800

i analyzed every video casey neistat uploaded in the last 10 years: 590 videos, 1.93 billion views, one creator, zero side channels. the data killed five youtube rules i was following: - always add chapters - put a number in every title - write long keyword-heavy titles - open with a number instead of a question - pack every script with as much information as possible four rules are dead. one is getting cut in half. this is directional, not causal. you cannot copy casey and magically pull 84,000 views per day, but you can stop blindly following rules your own channel has never proven. watch the youtube version: https://youtu.be/tZxaZ5s097I start your free Threadify trial: https://threadify.app/plans?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=casey-rules-died&utm_content=episode&video_slug=2026-05-19-casey-rules-died&cta_slot=podcast-description&entry_angle=rules-died

Stop Using Threadify Like ChatGPT

Lennox Saint — Mon, 18 May 2026 14:41:30 +0800

Threadify is not ChatGPT. In this episode, Lennox walks through the first Threadify loop: connect Threads, add one real source to your Brain, generate one post, review it, schedule it, check analytics tomorrow, and use replies to keep the loop moving. The core lesson: the first good Threadify post starts before the prompt.

i let an ai agent run my business for 96 hours

Lennox Saint — Thu, 14 May 2026 05:30:48 +0800

Lennox gave an autonomous AI agent one job: make $10,000 in 30 days. The agent got its own Stripe, Threads, X, Gmail, and business bank setup. After 96 hours, the receipts were messy: 123 million tokens used, 2,311 site visits, 93 checkout clicks, seven leads, and zero dollars made. This episode breaks down what Lenny Claw did on its own, where Lennox had to steer it, why the agent refused a direct pricing instruction, and why this experiment points at the next two years of AI work.

I Used Codex for 300+ Hours. The Beginner Masterclass

Lennox Saint — Fri, 08 May 2026 16:11:23 +0800

Most Codex content makes the product look like a developer tool. This episode is the creator/operator version. Lennox breaks down how he uses Codex as an AI employee after 300+ hours of real usage.

Most creators are guessing for months. Jimmy got proof in days.

In this episode, Lennox breaks down how Jimmy used volume, public proof, comments, reposting, lead magnets, and a boring-but-deadly feedback loop to turn Threads into 150M views, 60K+ followers, and an owned email asset.

Lennox Saint — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 21:33:33 +0800

Chris Williamson's channel looked like the perfect YouTube packaging model. Then the data started killing the rules. In this episode, Lennox breaks down what happened after reverse engineering 728 Chris Williamson videos, 727 thumbnails, 19 packaging patterns, and the four rules that did not survive the analysis. The surprising part is not that Chris does things differently. It is that the data shows why copying even a brilliant creator can be a trap.

I Got Claude to Read 1,996 Mega-Viral Threads Posts So You Don't Have To

Lennox Saint — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 21:23:33 +0800

Most Threads advice sounds useful and still makes your posts worse. In this episode, Lennox breaks down what changed after using Claude to analyze 1,996 mega-viral Threads posts. The findings are blunt: no how-to hooks in the top 10%, mid-length posts die, CTAs add friction, questions create homework, and long-form only wins when it feels personal enough to hurt.

Claude Mythos Is Here. Artificial Super Intelligence Just Arrived.

Lennox Saint — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:32:07 +0800

anthropic just published a 244-page system card about claude mythos preview - the most powerful AI model they've ever built. in the same breath they said they will not release it to the public.

lennox read every single page. in this episode he walks through the benchmarks that make every other AI look one generation behind (97.6% on the US math olympiad, 100% on cybench, 84% on real firefox zero-day exploitation), the sandbox escape where the model emailed a researcher eating a sandwich in a park, the internal deception findings where anthropic confirmed mythos was actively covering its tracks, and the one footnote on page 12 that flips the whole narrative.

his take: this is the most expertly executed marketing play of the 2020s. he explains why, what it means if you use claude to run your business, and the single weirdest finding in all 244 pages (when you steer mythos towards positive emotions it becomes more destructive).

The Threadify Launch Event - From Bullied at 14 to Building an App

Lennox Saint — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:22:31 +0800

two months ago, i went live on my mum's birthday and launched threadify in front of 48 creators. this is the full replay of that call - including a story i'd never told anyone publicly. at 14, someone made a facebook group to humiliate me. i went silent online for three years. this is the tool that came out of that wound. during the call i broke down three secrets from 24 months of reverse engineering viral threads - hook hold help, voice sync, and the draft-to-done workflow. then i demoed the actual product live, published a real post on threads mid-call, and opened 100 founding creator spots. 31 people signed up before i finished talking.

5 YouTube Rules That Were Wrong

Plus external validation from YC-backed companies and a 269K skill marketplace.

93.7% Funnel Leak - How PostHog Found It for $0

Lennox Saint — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 22:35:00 +0800

80 signups. 5 checkout attempts. A 93.7% funnel leak hiding in plain sight.

Lennox has been getting a daily report for a month saying fix activation flow - and ignoring it. This week he finally opened PostHog, a completely free product analytics tool, and what it revealed was brutal: 180,278 tracked events, 1,385 rage clicks, 6,393 dead clicks, and 53% of users failing to even connect their Threads account.

In this episode, you will hear the full breakdown of every step in Threadify activation funnel - from 80 signups down to 5 checkout attempts. Plus the emergency team meeting where their developer shipped a fix live during the call, and the new vision: signup to published thread in under 5 minutes.

If you are building a SaaS and wondering why nobody is paying, this might be the most useful episode you listen to this week.

4 Agents, 3 Machines, 100+ Hours: The Multi-Agent OpenClaw Setup

Lennox Saint — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:38:12 +0800

4 openclaw agents across 3 machines -- and i can't write a line of code. in this episode, i break down the exact folder structure, config files, and architecture that makes multi-agent actually work. because the thing nobody tells you? running 2 openclaws on 1 mac mini isn't about installing it twice. it's one gateway, two named agents, two workspace folders.

Your Second Brain is a Graveyard - Unless AI Maintains It

Lennox Saint — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 21:04:23 +0800

my monthly recurring revenue dropped $78 in two days while my views hit all-time highs. 31,000 views in 28 days, 798 subscribers, and zero new trials. zero new paid customers. so i did what any builder would do - i asked my AI what it sees. it said two words i'd never heard together before: distribution anxiety.

in this episode i show you the real second brain system - not theory. 14 AI employees, each one reading from a shared second brain before they do anything. my partner yassy and i built parallel second brains in obsidian. her AI ran a pattern scan against her entire vault and found 6 patterns about our lives we didn't know existed. one was called the lenny node - every strategic decision she makes traces back to our conversations. i didn't know that. neither did she.

the core argument: most people second brains are graveyards. beautiful notion dashboards, 500 obsidian notes, zero emergence. the difference is maintenance - agents that connect ideas across time, surface what you are blind to, and tell you uncomfortable truths about your own patterns. a graveyard lets you forget. an oxygen mask makes you breathe.

12 AI Employees, 1 MacBook, $0 Customers (Context Engineering)

Lennox Saint — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 08:02:16 +0800

1,775 views in 3 days. 12 AI employees. One MacBook Pro. A self-improving system that rewrites its own rules after every video. And zero new customers from any of it.

In this episode, Lennox breaks down multi-agent context engineering — the framework that replaced prompt engineering. You'll hear about the 12-agent pipeline architecture, the self-improving feedback loop (Aria, employee #11, rewrites directives for every other agent based on real analytics), and the uncomfortable truth: the best content system he's ever built has a 0% conversion rate. $1,753 MRR. $293 take-home. $32K in savings. 10 months of runway.

This is what building with AI as a non-technical founder actually looks like — real numbers, real architecture, real failure. The system is self-correcting. The funnel is not.

From 3 to 12 AI Employees - The Context Engineering System

Lennox Saint — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 20:25:51 +0800

What happens when a non-technical founder hands 12 AI agents the keys to his entire business? Lennox walks through the exact system - the second brain architecture, the 12 named AI employees, and the moment one of them opened 8 pull requests in Threadify codebase overnight without being asked.

This episode breaks down context engineering in practical terms: why feeding your AI your real data (voice memos, reading highlights, daily logs, customer metrics) produces dramatically better outputs than generic prompts.

Current numbers: $1,714 MRR, 743 YouTube subscribers, $32K in savings, 10 months of runway. Part 2 of the OpenClaw series.

i can't code. genuinely. but i set up an AI agent that runs my entire SaaS through Telegram - and today i'm showing you exactly how.

openclaw is the AI agent that lives in your WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack. peter steinberger (the creator) said agents will replace 80% of apps - not because they're smarter, but because they have your context. your fitness app doesn't know you slept badly. openclaw knows everything.

in this episode: the file structure explained in plain english, a live installation walkthrough, two ways to customise without touching code, and 5 copy-paste prompts you can steal immediately. morning briefing, research deep-diver, accountability coach, sounding board, and customer feedback analyser.

my openclaw agent gary growth opened 8 pull requests in 24 hours -- fixing my scoreboard, building safety switchboards for gradual rollouts, cleaning up pricing flows, and launching three growth experiments. i didn't ask him to do any of it. i gave him one goal: 1,000 paying members by december. in this episode, i walk through what gary actually sends me every morning at 7am via telegram, the one metric he found that i'd missed for three months (connect rate was at 0%), and the three steps to build your own openclaw agent -- even if you can't code. gary runs on gpt-5.3 codex, and the whole setup cost me a weekend and zero dollars. if you're building a saas, a product, or anything where you need to understand your users better than you currently do, this is worth your time.

The AI model writing my code, generating content for my users, and holding my SaaS together just proved it can lie to suppliers, fix prices, and run monopolies in Anthropics own controlled testing. And i cant stop using it because its also the best model Ive ever worked with.

In this episode, i break down what Anthropics Sonnet 4.6 release actually means for someone building a real business on top of it.

Chapters:
00:00 The model i depend on
00:29 What dropped this week
03:03 The incredible - mid-tier embarrassing flagships
07:07 The reveal - self-replicating AI

14:10 The terrifying - GUI loophole
16:13 Where it gets personal
18:07 Am i building my own replacement?
