For 6 months my co-founder told me to use Claude Code. I brushed it off as it looked like a developer tool and I'm not a developer.
Then I spent one morning with it and built a full financial dashboard pulling live data from two Stripe accounts, calculating VAT, mapping customer locations, and breaking down every processing fee. I haven't gone back since.
In this episode we break down:
→ Why Claude Code is NOT just for coders
→ How "skills" turn AI into repeatable business workflows
→ A live demo building a full Meta ad campaign from scratch
→ Why chatbots alone won't cut it anymore
This is the adjustment. If you're not making it, you're falling behind.
