AI Replaces Our Team, Expensive Developer Mistakes & Keeping Hackers Out

Author: Andrew Youderian | e-Commerce Entrepreneur November 28, 2025 Duration: 18:27

What happens when months of experiments, mistakes, and unexpected wins all pile up at once? In this solo episode, I'm sharing an honest behind-the-scenes look at what I've been building, breaking, automating, and learning across ECF and my own personal workflow.

Listen in as I talk through replacing (and not replacing) a key team member, how AI is reshaping assistant work, and what went wrong with a recent developer hire. I also share the story behind a new branded video project and explain why hardware security keys are becoming essential for anyone running a digital business.
