Key Principles

1. Start minimal Don't buy tools before you need them. Constraints breed creativity.

2. Prioritize repurposing The highest ROI tool category. One pillar → many pieces.

3. Own your data Use tools that let you export and own your content.

4. Integrate where possible Fewer tools that work together beat many disconnected ones.

The Essential Three

If you can only afford three tools: 1. Smartphone — Capture 2. CapCut/Descript — Edit 3. RipurposeAI — Multiply

Everything else is optimization.
