If you've ever stared at your business IP and thought "there has to be a way to turn this into a product that doesn't require me" — this episode is your permission slip.

I'm sitting down with Jordan Gill, founder of Systems Saved Me, who went from teaching VIP days to building custom software tools — without being a developer. We're talking micro tools, vibe coding with Lovable, and how Jordan turned a voice-note-to-content idea into a product that 700+ people have purchased.

We get into:

  • What a "micro tool" actually is (spoiler: Jordan made the term up and it stuck)
  • Her journey from hiring developers on Upwork to building her own tools with Lovable
  • How her viral product Carpool Content turns voice notes into polished content for 9 platforms
  • The smart way she keeps backend costs low (hint: users connect their own storage)
  • How to decide if your idea should be a course, a service, or a micro tool
  • Why custom GPTs might be on the way out — and what to build instead
  • One of the wildest micro tools a student built (a book club organiser that pulls bestseller lists via API and lets members vote on the next read — I mean, come on)
  • Plus the AI Confession Booth gets… dermatological 👀

Whether you're sitting on frameworks, processes, or just a really good Zapier workflow that deserves better — this one's for you.
