Fast Hours.

Six months ago, they were discussing who they'd need to hire to scale Fast Hours. Now they've built an interconnected system handling everything from podcast clips and thumbnails to website publishing, creative production, and client workflows.

Naturally, that freed up enough time for Drew to spend an unreasonable number of hours building a squirrel video game with his dad, while Rory assembled an army of AI agents inspired by Lord of the Rings.

Somewhere between the squirrels, the robots, and the existential questions about creative work, there's a pretty compelling picture of what happens when AI gives people the ability to execute their ideas.

[Discussed in episode]
Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn explain AI agents, Claude skills, Model Context Protocol integrations, and reusable creative workflows. Fast Hours production covers Riverside, Cloudflare, YouTube packaging, clip selection, and thumbnails. Creative experiments span Blender, Magnific, Runway, Higgsfield, and Figma. Examples show agent teams, model specialization, automated quality control, and context-driven production.
