Faster, and Together.
Carousels just got 100x faster, why your agents belong with your whole team, and the answer to a question I get asked more than you would think.
Hi friend,
Three things this week, and they all come down to doing more without doing it all alone. A tool that makes your best content faster, a way to hand your agents to your whole team, and the answer to a question I get asked more than you would think. Grab your coffee.
Carousels Are Live in the Edits App
Instagram just put carousels inside Edits, their free editing app, and this one is huge.
Carousels are the format converting hardest on Instagram right now. Every swipe is dwell time, dwell time is reach, and carousels get saved and shared more than anything else in the feed. They are the posts doing the heavy lifting.
Building them used to mean fighting exports across three different tools. Now it is templates, drafts, and a full week of carousels batched in one sitting. This is how we get 100x faster on the content that is already moving the needle for you.
I made you the full walkthrough. Watch it, then go build one today.
Speed only counts when you point it at the format that converts.
Your AI Agents Should Not Live on Your Laptop
Most people build their AI agents as a pile of markdown files on one hard drive. That agent works for one person, on one computer, and it disappears the day that laptop does. No one else on the team can touch it.
Put your agents in GitHub and everything changes. They become a shared teammate: one source of truth, always in sync, runnable from the cloud, usable by every human on your team. My whole agent team runs this way, which is how I hand work to Sage, Muse, and Vesta from anywhere, and how my people can too.
It also frees you from any single AI model. If usage costs climb or you are just not vibing with one model, you switch to another without rebuilding a thing. GitHub makes that swap seamless.
And it goes wherever you do: laptop, desktop, phone, and your whole team on all three. You hold the controls:
- who gets access
- their usage limits
- which agents they can run
- which agents they can edit
Fully team friendly, fully multiplatform. That is the difference between a personal trick and a team capability. If you are building an agentic team and you want your humans and your agents working side by side, let’s map it out.
How a Homeschool Mom of Six Became a Serial Entrepreneur
Someone asked me the most interesting question this month. How does a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of six end up a serial entrepreneur?
Here is the twist. It happened backward. I was doing my dad’s books at eight years old. I was born for this. I loved being a mother, and I was also dying to build something. So I chose to homeschool for a reason most people would never guess: I wanted to teach my kids how to run a business. Sales, people, ownership, and everything in between.
We started with something the kids’ dad had always wanted to do. Turns out he was not great at it, so he handed the whole thing to me and the kids to fix. That became the first brand I ever built, and the brand was us: our family, our kids learning to farm, retail their own crops, and deliver them all over Northern California.
Here is where it hit different. I found a niche hiding inside grass hay. Horses prone to founder get very sick because they cannot process the sugar in ordinary hay. So we cut ours before photosynthesis, had it lab tested, and could prove it was a genuinely low-sugar crop. That proof let us sell to a small, particular client who was glad to pay for it, at a 1500% markup. We took the farm from red to black in a single calendar year. Booyah.
That is still the whole job. Today I run a fractional CMO practice and an AI agent team, finding the niche, proving the value, and pricing for what it is worth. Same instinct, bigger classroom. I just have more students now, and I call them clients.
Find the niche, prove the value, and price for what it is worth. That was true in a hayfield, and it is true in your business.
Business was never a subject my kids learned later. It was the house they grew up in.
Go make a carousel, get your agents off your laptop, and remember that the skills you already use every day are probably worth more than you think.
See you virtually, unless you catch me on my travels or the gym. 💋 Leslie
P.S. Reply and tell me one skill you use in business that you first learned somewhere unexpected. I read every one.
