What happens when a billion-dollar company can be built by a team of one, or just a few, thanks to AI? In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing work, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and organizational structure.
Our guest, a veteran tech entrepreneur Dave Sifry, shares hard-won lessons from scaling startups like Technorati, insights on company growth breakpoints, and candid reflections on how Gen Z and Gen X are navigating this new world. We unpack the socio-economic implications of AI, the dangers of centralized power, and the once-in-a-generation opportunity to build lean, impact-driven companies.
Whether you're starting out or reinventing yourself mid-career, this conversation is for anyone curious about the real future of work.
