I’ve built and operated businesses across eCommerce, hospitality, property management, retail, and consulting.
That experience taught me that automation alone isn’t the answer. The real work starts with understanding the operation, improving the workflow, and then applying the right technology.
In this video, I share my journey, why I created BChanel, and what I’ll be sharing here moving forward. 🚀
What works, what doesn’t, and what we’re learning along the way.

operators building automation hits different from devs building it. you know where it actually breaks
Exactly. When you’ve run the workflow yourself, you know which handoffs get missed, which exceptions keep coming back, and where a human still needs to step in. That’s where we start.

Problem: Small teams lose hours every week to copy-paste work — moving data between tools, chasing updates, and doing the same manual steps again and again. Build: With my service One AI Automation Built for You — $150, one fixed price — I build one automation for you in n8n, Make or Zapier, wired into the tools you already use, tested end to end, and handed over with a short walkthrough so your team can run it. Result: One repetitive task runs itself, every time, without the manual work. No calls needed. We work async, in text. What is the one task you would automate first if it ran itself?
one automation that runs every day beats ten half built ones
An n8n workflow I run every day. Every 30 minutes it pulls new email replies, Claude sorts them and drafts an answer, and the draft lands in my Telegram for approval. Nothing goes out until I say so. Happy to share how the approval step works.
Routing every draft through a Telegram approval before it sends is a sensible checkpoint. For patient-facing inboxes I'd add one more check at send time, so a draft approved earlier is held if a newer message has arrived in the thread. Does your workflow re-check the thread before sending?
