Listen "The Construction Worker Who Became an AI Director in 2 Years (Robby Higgins)"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to AI Marketing Experts, the show where smart marketers use AI to work smarter, not harder.
In this episode, we get practical about context engineering the shift from “prompting” to organizing your info so AI can actually ship work.
Our guest Robby Higgins (AI Director, Seven Figure Agency; Bridge Ninja) breaks down how voice notes, file-system agents, and projects turn messy ideas into finished deliverables like a 72-minute Airtable rebuild where Claude designed the schema, wrote docs, and migrated data.
You’ll see day-to-day workflows: Apple Notes voice transcription to clean briefs to tasks; Claude Desktop/MCP as a file-manager “AI layer”;
Notebook LM / doc-chatting to learn complex tools fast. Expect real ops wins (one workflow saved ~40 hours/month) without blowing your tool budget.
Steal the prompts and timestamps below to replicate our workflows. (Front-loaded keywords + chapters = better discovery & watch time.)
Timestamps
00:00 Intro
02:10 From construction to AI director (learning out of necessity)
08:00 Early “talk to code” wins (Apps Script + email automation)
10:22 Docs to dialogue: scraping manuals to master complex tools (GHL, AWS, GCP)
18:58 The 72-minute Airtable rebuild (schema, API, migration, docs)
21:34 Ops use cases beyond marketing (SMB reality check)
22:24 Apple Notes to custom GPT to clean SOPs (saved ~40 hrs/mo)
27:19 The brain-dump habit (80/20 for focus & flow)
28:25 DIY transcription device & auto-workflows (share to auto-transcribe)
36:27 Why context engineering to prompt engineering (info architecture mindset)
38:27 Claude Desktop/MCP: the file-system superpower on Mac
44:14 The OS agent race (Claude Desktop now; Windows Copilot coming)
46:15 How to reach Robby (Bridge.Ninja) + wrap
What you’ll learn
How agent-style tools cut planning, research, QA, and ops time.
A repeatable voice-notes to SOPs flow anyone can run.
Context engineering: turning chaos into searchable, reusable knowledge.
Like, subscribe, and comment with the ops workflow you want us to test next. New interviews dropping soon.
