We figured this out by doing it
Maya is a journalist. Jim is a developer. Neither of us set out to build a business around AI. But something happened that we couldn't ignore.

Journalist, Strategist & Co-founderRan a media empire without writing a single line of code.
Maya's story
Two weeks before this site existed, I was running Remote Work Europe on Squarespace. It worked, but it didn't work. I couldn't automate anything. I couldn't connect tools. Every change meant either figuring out code or paying someone else to do it.
Then Jim built me a proper system — fast, professional, designed so I could run it with an AI assistant. With an MVP in two weeks, I was running a media operation that looks like it has a team behind it. I still haven't written a line of code.
That's when we realised: every freelancer we know is in the same position I was in. They know AI matters. They've tried the chatbots. But nothing has actually changed in how they run their business. Read the full story.
The short version
I'm a journalist and content strategist based in Valencia, Spain. I've spent over a decade building Remote Work Europe into a go-to resource for people working remotely across Europe — covering policy, legislation, tax, lifestyle, and the day-to-day realities of location-independent work.
I am not a developer. I have never written a line of code from scratch. And after 20 years of productivity systems that never quite stuck, I was sceptical that this time would be any different.
What I do at Solopreneur Superpowers
I'm the translator between "what the technology does" and "what you actually need." I've been where our clients are — knowing AI matters, not knowing where to start, not wanting to become a tech person just to run a business properly.
I handle strategy, content, workshops, and client relationships. If you're wondering whether this could work for your business, I'm the person to talk to — because I had exactly the same question not long ago. Here's what happened when I found the answer.

Jim's story
I'm a developer based in Valencia, Spain, with 30 years bridging security, education, and technology. I build websites, workflows, and automation systems — with a focus on making them usable by the people who own them, not just the person who built them.
I built my own AI-powered system to run my newsletter, consulting practice, and creative work. It's what I use every day. Solopreneur Superpowers is that approach, packaged for you.
My philosophy
I build it so you don't need me. But I'm here when you do.
Most developers build you a thing, hand it over, and disappear. When it breaks or you want changes, you're back to square one — either learning to code yourself or paying someone to fix something they didn't build.
I work differently. Every system I create is set up so that an AI assistant can work on it alongside you. You describe what you need, your AI handles it. The 90% in between a new site and a finished business? That's you and your AI assistant, working on something designed for exactly this.
What I do at Solopreneur Superpowers
I design and build the technical side — the websites, the hosting, the systems that everything else runs on. I make the hard decisions so you don't have to, and I make sure the whole thing is solid enough for a non-developer to run safely with AI.
When you hit something that genuinely needs a developer, I'm the one who fixes it. But the goal is always to get you back to running things independently as quickly as possible.
"Most people don't need another app. They need someone to build the bridge between all the apps they already have — with business context that's portable, exportable, and never locked behind someone else's paywall."
