Josh and Derrick demo some half-baked AI features.
Because with weekly $100K revenue swings, there’s no time for perfection.
In episode 5 of Josh Lowman Needs Money, Derrick Hicks and I crawled out of our Claude Code caves to show what we've been building — a way to run my shop without logging into 20 different SaaS websites, finally.
We covered:
The profitability dashboard that scores my weeks (and why a 10 means I can breathe)
Why my feelings are the biggest bottleneck in the business
The cold email follow-up system with a "confidence score" that knows when to tag me in
How we put a human in the loop without becoming the loop.
And the interface layer with AI that's changing how our whole team works

Josh and Derrick call an emergency AI meeting
Josh and Derrick call an emergency AI meeting.
Because Claude Code with a memory changes everything.
In episode 4 of Josh Lowman Needs Money, I sat down with Gold Front's fractional marketing leader (and undercover AI wizard), Derrick Hicks, to talk about the Claude Code rabbit hole we both fell down — and the memory engine he built that changed how I run my entire agency.
We covered:
Why Claude Code beats regular Claude
The context window problem nobody warns you about
Derrick's 5-layer system that gives Claude a real memory
How I'm building Gold Front OS — and why it already knows my to-do list before I do

Josh wants the AI search shortcut
Jason Widup teaches me a brand new way to rank on ChatGPT.
And yes, it’s a big shortcut.
In episode 3 of Josh Lowman Needs Money, I talked with fractional CMO Jason Widup about Noble—the platform that automates getting your brand into the articles ChatGPT cites when people search for what you do.
We covered:
Why optimizing your website won't get you cited by AI
How Noble finds hundreds of articles you're not in (and gets you added)
Automated article outreach that negotiates with publishers for you
How Jason turns 50 outreaches into 3-5 mentions, guaranteed

Josh wants to make $$ selling workshops
Jacob Pegs shows me how to sell digital products without selling my soul.
I just have to be myself (and I’m pretty sure I can do that).
In episode 2 of Josh Lowman Needs Money, I sat down with Jacob to map out a plan for running workshops, cohorts, and so many more things that I genuinely like doing and make me cash money.
We covered:
Why real leverage is time, and time is happiness (and money).
Turning 1 hour into 5 figures.
How teaching makes you stronger in client meetings.
And why being yourself is the whole ballgame.
