I cloned my own voice this week (and 3 other things)



3.13min Read


I’m pulling the curtain back on the stuff I’ve been building in the background...


So here’s something new.
I’ve been quietly building a bunch of cool stuff behind the scenes, and instead of just hinting at it in here every week, I decided to actually record short videos showing you EXACTLY what I’m doing.

Why? Because I want you to see how this stuff works. Not just hear me say “AI is wild” for the hundredth time. (But it is…)

You should be able to watch the demo and go, “Oh... I could do that too.”
Because you genuinely could.


Here’s what I’ve got for you this week. Four short videos. The TL;DR on each is below, and the full walkthrough is embedded right under it. Watch whichever ones grab you.

1. I cloned my own voice with Fish Audio

We have a sponsorship going with Fish Audio right now, so I’ve been deep in the platform testing every feature. The voice cloning is GENUINELY wild.
10 to 30 seconds of audio. That’s all it takes. Record yourself talking, or upload an old voicemail, or pull audio from a podcast clip. Whatever. It spits back a cloned voice that sounds like you.

I played mine back and my brain glitched a little.

Low-hanging fruit you could build on top of this:

  • Faceless YouTube channel narration
  • Audiobook narration as a service
  • Podcast production for people who hand you a script
  • Kid’s educational content in your voice (or someone else’s, or in a different language)

That’s just what came off the top of my head. The list goes on...

2. I turned a Slack voice memo into an ebook

Somebody asked me about the origin story. The whole how-did-a-cop-end-up-doing-this thing.
So I voice-recorded the whole thing in Slack. Three 5 min recordings. About 15 minutes of me just pouring the story out.

THEN I dropped the transcripts into Claude, used my custom writing skill (which already knows my voice, my tone, who I am), and asked it to clean things up while keeping it MOSTLY word-for-word from the transcript.

The output is a full ebook called The Jump. It’s linked below.
The point isn’t that I have a fancy PDF now. The point is: everything you say can be repurposed into something. Voice memos. Slack rambles. Half-thoughts you sent a friend. It’s all raw material.

If you’ve ever told a story out loud, you already have a book in you.

3. I rebuilt my entire welcome sequence

I mentioned last week that my welcome sequence was wayyyy outdated.
So I redid the whole thing.


Used to be the kind of project that took weeks. Now? The hard part is really just the fine-tuning. The actual rewriting is easy because I have so much context loaded into Claude about what I’m doing right now.

I built a “library” section on the new landing page to house the old welcome sequence content (the how-to-buy-a-business stuff, the self-storage articles) so the good juice doesn’t get lost. Then I wrote a brand new sequence covering everything I’m actually doing NOW. AI work. Content with Chris. The community. All of it.

It’s starting to feel like a real home base.

4. I built an entire AI consulting site with Lovable

Last one. Chief AI Officer is my consulting work helping businesses figure out how to actually USE AI in their existing operations. Not which tools to buy. The strategy underneath.

To house all of that, I needed a real site.
It started in Claude. I prompted out a basic HTML mockup of what I wanted it to look like. Took that code, dropped it into Lovable, and within a day I had something that used to cost thousands of dollars and weeks to produce.
80% done in less than a day. The other 20% was just me being nitpicky.

The newsletter archive lives on it now too, so subscribers can browse past issues right from the site.

Here's the takeaway from all four of these...

It's not about knowing HOW to do this stuff anymore.

It's about being able to think clearly about what you want, and then verbalize that into the AI.

That's the skill now.

If you can describe it, you can probably build it.

So go describe something.

Until next time...

Stay in the fight,
