I was manually scheduling every single video. It was an accident waiting to happen. I'd already figured out how to get AI to edit the show. So I asked myself: What else can I have AI do? Scheduling was next. I had Codex create a skill based on my feedback. Then I watched it add a thumbnail and paste the text into a LinkedIn post. The line breaks were missing. I asked it to fix the post and update the skill. It's still learning. But once I've reviewed a video and I'm happy with it, I can now say, “Schedule the video.” That means more time to be creative and think about strategy and what comes next.

I asked you to name my AI editor. You delivered. A while back I told you my AI video editor was getting so good it needed a real name. I asked you to drop ideas in the comments, and I promised to call out the winner. So I sat down with Jessica to make the call. First, a shout-out to Jonathan Mast. He's the one who said he'd love to see a weekly show, so now there is one: the best moments of the week, five or six minutes, on YouTube. My AI editor even made the thumbnails. The first ugly ones got no views at all. The new ones changed that. Jessica's take: "It really feels like you're watching a show and you know it's going somewhere." Then the big one. Ray Edwards left this comment: "Kubrick (or Stanley). Or... BLADE." Jessica had never heard of Stanley Kubrick. Stanley reminded me of a vacuum cleaner. She said, "Oh yeah, the Stanley Steamer." Kubrick doesn't roll off the tongue. But Blade? "Just has a cool factor sound to it." It cuts through the noise. And editing is all about cutting. I let Jessica make the final call. Blade it is. Then I asked her one more question: is Blade a guy or a woman? "Ooh, a woman." So meet Blade. She's our awesome editor. Thank you, Ray Edwards. Did we pick the right name?

My AI video editor can't hear. So how was it supposed to pick music for my show? Talking heads can be a little boring. I knew the right music could add the emotional connection to what's happening in the story. But finding music, making it work, ducking it down every time someone speaks? Really, really complicated. It's why a lot of creators don't do it. So I asked Claude to go do the research. We ended up at PremiumBeat. Then I hit the problem. Claude can look at screenshots. It can't listen. So I got a creative idea. I had it pull up Gemini, which can hear, and ask Gemini to listen to its choices. They worked hand in glove and came back with a really nice set of sounds. Then I directed it. "I want music here. I want music there." Before I knew it, it came up with something absolutely crazy. My editor is getting exceptionally skilled. And it needs a name.

I'm about to leave town for a week. And I don't know how we're going to keep publishing. While I'm trying to get to 3,000 people at Social Media Marketing World, I'm flying out to an event. You know how it is at an event. I won't be able to publish as many videos. So I took it to my team. Jon had an idea. What if he and Jessica met, recorded it, and sent it to me? I could grab clips. My reaction: wait. You guys can run the show, and I just add color commentary? Jessica pushed back. A call with me at the conference would be more authentic. It shows I'm still committed. I said we could do both. Then it clicked. Every video we produce just goes into a queue. Whatever we record next goes out next. I could just record an intro. Jon said they could knock it out pretty quickly. Jessica's already using Claude to refine the wording. My one piece of advice: think about the story arc. Say what you're here to talk about. Ask for the update. Then let that person talk. At the end of the call I said, "I don't know if we're going to use this one." We might. Who knows? If everything in your business runs through you, what would you hand off first? Tell me in the comments.

My rant was killing my video. I almost scrapped the whole thing. I recorded a ranty video about something I saw in the news that I just thought was crazy. I wasn’t super pleasant in it, but in my mind: “This is going to perform!” I spent a lot of time in the edits app, polished it perfectly, and published it as a trial reel. The retention dropped like a cliff. So I tightened it up even more, convinced this time it would perform. It did absolutely nothing. I was pretty much ready to call it quits. Then I had one crazy idea: What if I edit out the ranty stuff — the stuff I thought was amazing? Boy, am I glad I did. The retention graph turned really, really good. People are commenting, engaging, and it’s getting lots of views. I am so glad I didn’t delete that video. Here’s what I realized: the rant I thought was amazing was actually the thing holding me back. This isn’t really about editing. It’s about taking what you love, testing it, and if it doesn’t work — getting rid of it. Because in the end, we all want our ideas to succeed.

One small mistake and you're cut from the team. That's how she was trained. Yesterday, after a podcast interview, an Instagram expert told me how much she loved these unscripted, direct-to-camera videos — but said she could never do it herself. I asked her why. "I like to be in control." She comes from the world of dance, where one flaw in a performance gets you cut. She was programmed, over and over, to be a perfectionist. Here's the ironic part: I'm a recovering perfectionist too. So I asked her, "Are you up for a challenge?" She said yes. I challenged her to record her first completely unedited, raw video within a week — even about this very topic. Because here's the thing: Control is what got her here. And control is now the barrier stopping her from being her true self on camera. She can be bold behind a podcast microphone — but the moment the camera turns on, she wants control. I bet she's not the only one. Do you struggle with control? Is there a reason you're not showing up on camera and saying what's on your mind? As a recovering perfectionist, I can tell you — it's not as hard as you think. It just takes practice. This is Mike Thoughts from the Porch.
