Descriptions:
Craig Hewitt, founder of podcast hosting platform Castos, details the eight specific Claude Code workflows he relies on to run a seven-figure company—reframing the developer-oriented terminal tool as an executive decision-support system accessible to non-technical leaders. The video is built around real project folders and slash commands Hewitt uses daily, making it a concrete case study rather than a conceptual overview.
Key workflows include a Weekly CEO command that pulls live metrics from ChartMogul (MRR, churn, and customer count) via API and synthesizes them into an actionable briefing; a Team Think skill that runs structured diagnostics and psychological framing when evaluating personnel decisions; and a Decision Journal that maintains persistent institutional memory across Claude Code sessions—compensating for the tool’s lack of built-in conversation history by writing decisions to local files the agent can recall in future sessions.
Hewitt also demonstrates his Second Brain project—a dedicated Claude Code environment functioning as an always-available thought partner with full business context—and explains how dropping client call recordings into project folders gives the agent longitudinal memory for ongoing coaching relationships. The throughline is that Claude Code’s value scales far beyond software development: when loaded with the right context files and custom skills, it can function as the COO, strategist, and analytical partner that most small businesses can’t afford to hire.
