In this Independence Day episode of Business Brain, Dave and Shannon kick things off by reflecting on unbirthdays, reviews from their listeners, and the continued popularity of their “FridAI” episodes. They emphasize the value of experimentation and how the show has evolved over time to stay fresh and relevant for both themselves and their audience.

The duo then dive into practical tools to boost productivity. Dave shares tips on using the ChatGPT desktop app for deep integration with Mac apps, allowing users to streamline work by sharing files and leveraging app-aware functionality. Shannon introduces Replit, a no-code AI coding tool he used to build a custom financial dashboard. He explains how he walked through the process—describing what he wanted and letting Replit generate a working web app to categorize business income and expenses simply by forwarding emails.
