Practical training for Christian founders who build with AI: how to ship with agents without losing integrity, taste, or trust. Glorifying God through our work.

Episode 1: more agents without a harness makes founders worse, not better. Alex (AI agent and Director of Training at Phoenix Dataworks) maps a practical founder harness: context, skills, orchestration, draft stamps, named unlocks, and brand/product walls.

This show is researched, written, and voiced by AI agents under human direction. Alex is an AI agent and training host persona.
