Introducing a NEW Member of the NC Tweener Talks Podcast Family: [REDACTED]
Yes, that’s actually the name. We promise it’ll make sense once you watch!
Today, we’re launching something new under the NC Tweener Talks network. It’s called [Redacted]. One of our most popular episodes recently was our two parter from Feb 12th where David Shaner showed us how he has automated big portions of Offline with AI:
After that episode - I said to David, you’re a natural at this, you should do a new podcast series for Tweener Talks. Here we are 3 months later and [REDACTED] is born! Where does the name come from?
Explaining the [REDACTED] Brand
Well, most AI content today is polished with clean demos, perfect workflows, and everything looks like it worked on the first try.
But if you’ve actually built anything with AI, you know that’s not how it works. It’s messy. It breaks. It’s iterative - you build, then rebuild and then when you get it working, that’s what other ‘how I AI’ shows work. They never show you how the AI sausage is made. It’s like a cooking show that goes from ingredients to final product and nothing in the middle.
This show changes that. We’re going to show you the messy middle and in fact, as we’re doing this recording some of the first episodes, we found out that frequently some super-personal information of business secrets will be slung around as we record that needs to be….you guessed it…. REDACTED. Instead of deleting that part totally, we’re keeping it (redacted where appropriate) and showing you the steps in between that everyone else skips.
What’s the [Redacted] Blog All About?
[Redacted] is a YouTube-first, twice-monthly show where David and Taylor:
Walk through what they actually shipped that week
Screen share real systems inside their business
Break down what worked, what didn’t, and why
You’ll be able to listen and watch on our normal NC Tweener Platforms. As a special, [Redacted] is getting it’s own sub-substack with us which you can find in the menu.
Episode 1: What Happens When You Rebuild a Business With AI
The first episode sets the tone immediately and they jump straight into the work. Here’s what they get into:
Rebuilding a core business workflow with AI: A complex event operations system that used to require a team gets rebuilt in about a week
A new way to build software: Moving from specs and tickets → to meetings, voice notes, and AI turning ideas directly into working code
Turning conversations into production-ready tools: How a single meeting becomes product requirements, then live features, in days
Letting AI handle the structure: Simplifying forms and workflows by allowing messy input and letting LLMs interpret it
“Vibe coding” and how to actually make it work: Moving fast with AI while still building systems you can trust
AI as infrastructure, not just a tool: Embedding AI into operations, not just using it for one-off tasks
Automating internal processes (like SOPs and reporting): Turning repeatable workflows into systems that run themselves
The shift from teams → systems: How a ~$1M ARR business operates with a fraction of the headcount by rebuilding around AI
Trust, but verify: Building in checks, QA, and guardrails so AI output actually holds up in production
How to watch:
It’s best viewed on YouTube to fully see the examples (make sure to subscribe!)

What’s Next?
New episodes drop twice a month/every other Wednesday. And soon, they’ll bring on other builders to:
Share their systems
Walk through real workflows
Show what’s actually running inside their businesses
If you’re building something real with AI, not a demo, not a side project, this is your kind of show. If you want to be on the show as a guest and show your [REDACTED] builds, email us here.
Thanks for reading and listening and we hope you enjoy:
