Episode 3: In this episode of Founder Mode, Jason and Kevin dive into how AI is transforming startup life—from supercharging everyday workflows to enabling solo entrepreneurs to build fully functional SaaS products in record time. They share personal anecdotes on using AI tools for email summarization, research, marketing campaigns, and even multimillion-dollar licensing negotiations. The highlight is an interview with Alex Finn, founder of CreatorBuddy, who reveals how he leveraged AI coding to singlehandedly create a six-figure ARR content platform for X (formerly Twitter). Alex emphasizes the value of empowering individuals to act as independent entrepreneurs within organizations and explains why forming and expressing strong opinions is essential in a noisy tech landscape. The takeaway: AI can handle grunt work at lightning speed, but human insight, creativity, and leadership remain the driving forces behind true innovation.
