Have you ever had a business idea but felt stuck because you didn't have the technical skills to build it? That feeling is about to change.

In this episode, I sit down with Katja Rubin, AI educator and strategist, who has made it her mission to make AI genuinely accessible to everyone — not just developers and tech people.

We talk about vibe coding, why right now is actually the perfect moment to start building with AI, and why confidence doesn't come before you start — it comes after.

Whether you're a founder, a business owner, or just someone who's been watching from the sidelines wondering if AI is for you — this episode is your sign to just try.

What we cover:

• What vibe coding actually is and why it's a game changer for non-technical people
• Why you're not too late — and why now is the perfect window
• How to find the right problem to solve with AI
• Real examples of people building products without writing a single line of code
• Where to start if you want to build confidence with AI this week

In this solo episode, Anja shares a candid update on what's really going on behind the scenes of running a business for over a decade.

First, she talks about one of the most common founder traps: being too involved in operations. Anja opens up about how she became the bottleneck in her own company and what she's actively doing to change that — from giving her team more ownership to learning the difference between reacting and responding.

Then she shares what she's been building with vibe coding. In Q1 of 2026, Anja discovered how AI tools are transforming the way she runs her company — from dashboards that pull data from multiple platforms into one place, to AI agents that take over tasks so she can focus on what actually matters. She also shares why she believes every business leader needs to be personally in the game when it comes to AI — not just their team.

Finally, real talk on health. Using her Whoop tracker, Anja shares what happened to her biological age during one of the most stressful periods she's had in years — and why she believes sustainable businesses are not built by burning out their leaders.

Anja is also looking for a co-host for future solo episodes — reach out via the show notes if that sounds like you!
