A weekly newsletter · Sunshine Coast
Freedom over
Status
One AI-built idea a week, shipped from the Sunshine Coast.
I'm Jeff. I clean houses, run a small HR search practice, and build with AI. Every Thursday I share one idea I've built and shipped that week: how I built it with AI, what broke, and what I learned.
From Opera Australia to scrubbing showers.
01 · The stage
Ten years as a professional singer, touring the world and performing with Opera Australia.
02 · The desk
Sales and business development in Melbourne, then my own HR recruitment company, started in the middle of COVID.
03 · The road
Home on the Sunshine Coast with my young family. Cleaning houses, recruiting, and building AI products between jobs.
I chose freedom over status. This is me showing my working.
In every issue
A five-minute read for small business owners and first-time founders who want AI to buy them time and freedom. Real businesses, honest lessons.
- The Build
- This week's idea: how AI built it, what broke, and what I learned.
- The Owner
- One small business owner's real AI win, or fail, in their own words.
- The Signal
- One idea from the global AI conversation, tested against Aussie reality.
- The Toolbox
- Three tools worth your time, one line each.
The builds
Every idea I build, as I build it. I'm learning in public: some will stick, most won't, and that's the point.

The full story: footy, the stage, a breakdown, a recruitment company, and why I now clean houses, recruit, and let AI agents build while I work.
