(Bonus) Behind the scenes of Diary Of A CEO + how the team built 48 AI tools and saved 62,000 hours

In this special bonus episode, Georgie Holt (co-founder of Flight Story alongside Stephen Bartlett) takes us behind-the-scenes to look at how her team is redefining media and podcasting using AI.

Georgie shares the story of an internal AI competition that led to the creation of 48 new tools, saving over 62,000 hours of work and $1 million in efficiencies. She takes us inside the tools powering Diary of a CEO, including “Unicorn Hunter” and “Prewatch,” and explains how AI helps the team identify cultural moments, book high-impact guests, and tailor content to maximise engagement.

You’ll learn:

  • How Diary of a CEO finds the right guest at the right moment using AI

  • How Diary of a CEO uses data to refine content before it even goes live
  • The importance of community and loyalty in building media that lasts
