The n8n Masterclass
Welcome to The n8n Masterclass. Iâm Dylan Watkins.
Each week we break down real business wins using n8n and AI automation. Youâll learn what worked, why it worked, and what broke along the way. Founders, automation experts, and AI agencies share how they use n8n to simplify operations, scale delivery, and move faster without adding more people.

Youâll leave every episode with one principle, one pattern, and one action you can apply this week to grow your business, reduce manual work, and unlock the potential of automation.
If youâre building a business that runs on smart systems, AI, and no-code tools, this is your playbook for scaling with n8n. Follow The n8n Masterclass and start using automation as your competitive edge.
