Stop Building, Start Orchestrating

In partnership with

I had a revelation last week that changed how I think about business forever.

Building is overrated. Orchestrating is the future.

Let me explain.

For years, we've glorified builders – the people who code, design, and create from scratch. But in the AI economy, the highest-value players aren't builders. They're orchestrators – people who can coordinate AI systems to achieve specific outcomes.

I watched a "non-technical" founder launch a complex SaaS product last month. No coding background. Just excellent orchestration skills.

He used Claude to draft the specifications, Replit to generate the code, Midjourney for visuals, and n8n to automate the workflows between them. Then he hired one part-time developer to clean things up.

Total cost: under $5K Time to market: 3 weeks First paying customers: Day 1

This is the K-shaped economy in action. Traditional builders are being squeezed while orchestrators are thriving.

The new career path isn't linear anymore. It's convergent – skills + assets + audience.

To win as an orchestrator:

  1. Master prompt engineering across multiple AI systems

  2. Learn workflow automation tools like n8n or Make

  3. Develop a specific domain expertise (the thing you're orchestrating toward)

The best part? You don't need a computer science degree or 10,000 hours of practice. Just start small with a personal project.

🚨 Want to become famous(er), grab more customers, and 100X your reach?

Stop burning budget on ads and hoping for clicks. Podcast listeners lean in, hang on every word, and buy from guests who deliver real value. But appearing on dozens of incredible podcasts overnight as a guest has been impossible to all but the most famous.

I built an agent last weekend that monitors my analytics, drafts social content based on what's performing, and schedules it automatically. Took me about 4 hours, saves me 10 hours weekly.

This is why I'm bullish on small teams. A skilled orchestrator with 2-3 high-agency collaborators can now compete with 50-person companies.

The question isn't "what can you build?" It's "what can you orchestrate?"

What would you create if technical limitations disappeared?
