Software needs to talk to each other, that's the foundation of all business automation. In this episode, Alane and Micah break down the three critical ways platforms communicate and why understanding these basics determines whether your business stays competitive or gets stuck in manual mode.

What You'll Learn:

• APIs: When you need to ask for something (get customer data, create invoices, update records)
• Webhooks: When you're listening for something to happen (payment received, form submitted)
• MCPs: The AI version designed specifically for agents and task delegation

Key Insights:

• Why "Does it have an API?" should be your first question about any software
• How to spot automation-friendly tools before committing to subscriptions
• Real workarounds when your current software doesn't play well with others
• Using AI to research API capabilities without diving into developer docs

This episode gives you the knowledge to make smarter software decisions and understand why some integrations work seamlessly while others leave you copying data manually between platforms.

Most founders don't fail when trying to sell their company—they fail years earlier by becoming the only person who knows how everything works. In this episode, Alane and Micah explore what it really takes to build an exit-ready business, from documenting processes to leveraging AI for knowledge capture. They introduce the "No Yeah Buts" test and discuss how to transition from being an essential founder to an optional owner who has real choices about their future.
