What is the main focus of this episode on writing with AI?
Nicholas Coles made over $30 million writing on the internet. So when he talks about content, I listen. And this episode honestly felt less like an interview and more like just a free masterclass. He breaks down why most people's content gets ignored in the AI era, why AI is making generic writing worthless, and how to build what he calls a digital brain, a library of your story. And your opinions and your lessons and ideas that get you customers 24/7 that builds you trust and gives AI something real to work with. If you write online, you sell online, or you want ideas to compound, this is honestly worth thousands of dollars, but it's free for you. The people that stick around to the end of this uh, you know, are are not going to be writing AI slop.
And I think the people that you know you Use AI to actually create interesting content. I mean, of course, those are the people that have the highest probability of success. Enjoy the episode. I learned a lot. I think you will too. Today's episode is brought to you by Brex. My company's been on Brex for a year and a half, and I started because I kept hearing companies like Vercell, OpenAI, and Thropic were using Brex, and I figured if they're using it, why shouldn't I? It's been a game changer. The thing that got me is how smooth it is. It's got high limit cards, it's got banking, it's got AI that handles the back office busy work like expense reports, which I don't want to do on its own. It's really just built for this agentic world.
If you're building something new, it's time to get Brex. Check it out at Brex.com/slash solutions slash startups. Link in the description.
The start of I just
Nicholas Cole, thank God you're here, man. By the end of this episode, what are people gonna learn?
By the end of this episode, you will better understand the short, medium, and long term value of everything you create and write and market on the internet before you create it. That is the goal. Before you invest the time, you will understand why you're doing what you're doing in the first place.
Yeah, and I think that matters a lot because all of us are, you know, vibe coding software. We know there's a lot of opportunity to build apps. Ship SAS, things like that. But it's hard to get customers. And what I love about you is through writing, you understand how to get seen, how to create stuff that goes viral. And there's sort of a bit of a art to it. And what I hope to learn to f you know, selfishly by the end of this episode is to to to get some of that uh art from you, to learn about that so that, you know, the products that I create, I could accompany it with content writing that's tells stories that, you know, hopefully goes viral or that just resonates with people. And um Cole, can you commit can can you commit that to me?
Can will I learn that?
Yeah. That's what we're gonna talk about. I I so some something I see people talk about a lot these days is that in the AI era, SAS no longer has a moat. And I actually think that that's not true. I think that SAS has a moat when you have a point of view. And I didn't. That was a nice little rhyme there. But what I mean by that is if you're just building commodity SaaS, meaning like you're just providing features that accomplish tasks to people, um, that's fundamentally a commodity. SaaS with a point of view means that you're building some sort of product or platform that enables users to do things in a certain way. Like they're they're executing a certain method. So for example, like we have a SaaS platform called Typeshare.
And the goal of Type Share is not, well, there's a gazillion scheduling apps and there's a gazillion writing apps and our writing app does writing and scheduling too, right? Like that is a commodity. The goal of TypeShare is to quote unquote automate or or make tasks easier for people who want to execute a different methodology for writing on the internet. So there's a point of view that drives the product. And if someone says, Well, why would that create a moat? For example, if we say inside typeshare, well, your goal is we're gonna help you build your personal language model.
