Helping Entrepreneurs & Marketers Grow with AI & Media, Mindstream.news
I built a business from scratch and sold it to HubSpot in just 17 months. I co-founded Mindstream, an AI newsletter that scaled from an idea to 150,000+ subscribers, proving that execution beats hesitation every time. I left the editorial to my co-founder Matt and focused on growth, brand, sales, and hiring. Now, Mindstream is part of the HubSpot Media Network, where I lead brand strategy for the AI vertical. Along the way, I’ve grown a 170,000+ following on LinkedIn, sharing real, unfiltered lessons on AI, entrepreneurship, and business growth, with all the wins and mistakes along the way. I believe in action over hesitation—because the biggest risk is never starting.
Adam's Top Tools
Everyone is obsessed with ChatGPT. But I get more value from these 5 tools. I’m busier now than ever, so having the right tool stack is non-negotiable. For a tool to be great, it needs these 3 things: 1. A Great UX: If a tool isn’t easy to use, I’m not using it. 2. Smart Automation: Streamlining my workflow, auto-generating content, or predicting what I need next. 3. Real Value: The best tools aren’t cool; they move the needle in my business. I owe so much of my success to these 5 tools:

HubSpot Sales Hub
"My VP of Growth. Before I sold my company to HubSpot, I had a good idea of what they did. Now I’m on the inside, it blows my mind every day. It’s packed with automation, insights, and tools designed to empower you to grow your business. A must have for all my side businesses." - Adam Biddlecombe
Automate sales, track leads, and close deals faster.
Fyxer
"My Executive Assistant. I am managing 4 email inboxes every day. I have to be organised. Fyxer is like having a personal assistant constantly monitoring your inbox. Its AI responses are pretty good out of the box, but they get better over time, learning your tone of voice. This tool saves me hours every week." - Adam Biddlecombe
Shared inbox for teams to manage emails and boost customer happiness.
Claude
"My Chief Content Officer. I have replaced almost all my ChatGPT use cases with Claude. It’s my everyday business partner. It helps analyse my LinkedIn content, come up with new ideas and create frameworks. Plus it’s much easier to collaborate with my team members." - Adam Biddlecombe
Helpful AI assistant for reasoning, writing, coding, and more.
Perplexity
"My Investigative Journalist. Nothing competes with Perplexity for research. Whenever I want to go deep on a topic, I’m going straight to Perplexity. If I need to analyse competitors, or find stats to back up my points, it’s my go to tool." - Adam Biddlecombe
AI search engine giving answers with cited sources.
Canva
"My Design Team. I am not a designer, but when I use Canva I feel like one. It has such a simple UX, it’s like they made the tool for me. Whenever I need to create a presentation, an infographic or carousel, I’m opening Canva." - Adam Biddlecombe
