<p><strong>CREATIVE INDUSTRIES x AI &amp; THE REALITY BEHIND BUILDING SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>In this extra long episode, we sit down with Costa from Botinsky Labs &amp; Eventbarista Simon from Outliers Coffee — two builders, two very different worlds, one shared week in Portugal that turned into something much bigger than planned.</p><p><br></p><p>Costa is the founder of Costa Boards &amp; now the mind behind Botinsky Labs — diving deep into AI, building systems, workshops and a community around what&#39;s actually possible when you stop being afraid of the tools.</p><p><br></p><p>Simon is the founder of Outliers Coffee, a specialty roastery based in Lucerne, Siwtzerland — someone who came in saying &quot;I don&#39;t really use AI&quot; and walked out having built two apps &amp; a completely new perspective on his business.</p><p><br></p><p>We recorded this after almost a week of Hackathon-style sessions — 9am to past midnight, every day, building, failing, breaking, learning. But this conversation goes beyond AI. It&#39;s about what happens when you actually sit down and build something. About the gap between Instagram-polished success &amp; the real struggles behind every business.About why most people get stuck before they even start.</p><p><br></p><p>Between hype &amp; reality.Between solo founder loneliness &amp; finding your people.Between perfection &amp; just doing the thing.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about why AI isn&#39;t a bubble, what changes when you stop being scared of new tools &amp; how creative people can actually use this stuff to build worlds they care about.</p><p><br></p><p>About highs &amp; lows in entrepreneurship, about being present, about the things nobody posts on Instagram. About coffee, craftsmanship &amp; why quality still matters more than ever.</p><p><br></p><p>A conversation about building, learning &amp; staying human in a world that&#39;s moving faster every day &amp; week.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE</strong>– Why AI is not a bubble &amp; what most people get wrong– From zero to two apps in a few hours: Simon&#39;s story– From Costa Boards to Botinsky Labs: Costa&#39;s journey into AI– The reality of being a solo founder (and why nobody talks about it)– Why creative people benefit more from AI, not less– Hammers, houses &amp; how creative tools shape what you build– Specialty coffee, craftsmanship &amp; the value of doing things right– Highs, lows &amp; what nobody posts on IG– Dreaming bigger: defining your actual ideal life– Workshops, retreats &amp; building communities that matter– Why the next AI hub might be on Ibiza</p><p><br></p><p><strong>GUESTS</strong>Costa // BOTINSKY LABS // <a href="https://botinsky.com/">⁠https://botinsky.com/⁠</a>Simon // OUTLIERS COFFEE // <a href="https://outlierscoffee.ch/">⁠https://outlierscoffee.ch/⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>HOST</strong>Kevin Kummer // 0049 PRODUCTIONS<a href="https://0049.productions">⁠https://0049.productions⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://kevinkummer.com">⁠https://kevinkummer.com⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kevinkummer">⁠https://www.instagram.com/kevinkummer⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>0049 CLUB &amp; SOCIALS</strong><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/0049club">⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/0049club⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/0049club">⁠https://www.instagram.com/0049club⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/0049productions">⁠https://www.instagram.com/0049productions⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@0049productions">⁠https://www.youtube.com/@0049productions⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://de.linkedin.com/company/0049productions">⁠https://de.linkedin.com/company/0049productions⁠</a></p>
