“Command Line Clint Strikes Back…and Claude Gets Put to the Test" featuring Clint and Greg
Guest Introduction
In this episode, there is no outside guest. It is just Clint and Greg, and that is the point.
Clint is a longtime startup operator who has lived through multiple waves of tech change and knows what it takes to turn big ideas into real execution. Greg built and scaled sales organizations in Silicon Valley and knows how revenue actually gets created inside a company. Together, they pressure test AI in the real world for operators in sales, marketing, and leadership.
Today, they go deeper than most business leaders are willing to go. Down to the command line. Into source code. Into Claude Code. And into what it means to manage AI as a team of coders rather than use it like a chatbot.
Episode Summary
This episode is about unlocking new power. Most business leaders still treat AI like a smarter Google. A writing assistant. A chatbot.
Clint argues that this mindset is already outdated.
This week builds on last week's episode where Clint created Greg's new personal website (grosenthal.lovable.app) in less than five minutes using Lovable. Today, Clint walks Greg through Claude Code, running inside the terminal, connected to GitHub, modifying that original website. In minutes, they:
-
Pull code from a repository
-
Run a local web server
-
Modify site content through AI
-
Push changes live
If you can use AI and set up your laptop as a web server, then this episode is for you.
The key shift is this: you are no longer coding line by line. You are managing coders. The AI writes the code. You direct outcomes.
Greg connects this to what it means for sales and business leadership. In the past, this is where non-technical executives would tune out and let the sales engineer handle the conversation. Now, with AI in the loop, he doesn't just need to follow the coders. He can direct. He can build.
The second half of the episode shifts to Claude Cowork, Anthropic’s newer desktop interface. Clint gives a candid review. Listen in to hear his view on the business-readiness of Claude Cowork.
The takeaway is clear. Work is changing fast. The leaders who lean in will operate with leverage. The ones who wait will be managed by those who did not.
AI Challenge: Go Beyond the Browser
This week’s AI Challenge is simple and uncomfortable by design.
If you are only using ChatGPT in a browser, you are playing small.
Clint recently pushed himself into Claude Code inside a real source code repository. It required help to get started. It required some technical fluency. And it stretched him. That stretch is the point.
