Omar Zenhom scaled his podcast from one to three episodes per week using five AI tools that cost $79 monthly. He replaced a writer, researcher, designer, developer, and executive assistant, saving the $300,000+ in annual salaries those roles would cost.
Let me tell you something that's gonna make you sit up straight, especially if you're stressed about hiring. I run a business that produces a podcast 3 times a week, and the output of that business has tripled in the last 2 years. Not because we hired more people, but because I have built a 5-tool AI stack that costs me $79 a month. The same output that used to require multiple hires, a writer, a researcher, a designer, a developer, an EA, now happens with 5 tools and a fraction of the overhead. The average salary of a content writer in the US is $55,000 a year. A junior graphic designer— junior— is $50,000 a year. A research analyst is $60,000 a year. A freelance developer for a basic app— and we're talking about a very basic app— is $5,000 to $20,000 a project. A personal assistant, $45,000 a year starting. You're basically getting a functional output for all of these jobs for $79 a month. Let that sink in for a moment. You have Leverage net.
