Ordinary Joe Asks AI podcast cover art

I’m going to transform my life from ordinary to extraordinary.

I’m Bruce. I work a 40-hour government job, my daughter’s off at college doing her thing, and this is my turn to make stuff I’m proud of. Not chasing fame — just making cool things, having a good time doing it, and seeing where it goes.

Listen — Ordinary Joe Asks AI

A podcast where an ordinary guy asks AI the questions he’s actually curious about.

  • Ep 1 — “The Experiment Begins” — out now
  • Ep 2 — “Meet Muse” — out now. Nova and Muse go head to head in the Battle of the Bots. Muse won, 2–1.
  • Ep 3 — “Can This Podcast Make Money?” — coming next. Making money online, process-first: affiliate marketing, starting from zero listeners.
