AI at Bat: Jeff Kunzelman on 10× Disruption

Serial entrepreneur and technologist Jeff Kunzelman (3 exits out of 6 startups) joins Andreas to unpack why today’s AI wave is “10 × bigger—and faster—than the original internet boom.”

They cover:

• Challenge - Spotting market-shifting tech before it’s obvious—and the risk of waiting even 12 months.
• Adaptation - Using generative-AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Notebook LM) to collapse weeks of research and prototyping into minutes—and the culture shift CEOs need to spark that curiosity.
• Success - Building leaner, higher-impact teams, saving 2–3 hours per day, and turning interns into instant thought partners.

Lightning Round highlights: Jeff’s current AI tool stack, one use-case most execs miss, and his two-year prediction for “hyper-personalized apps that won’t even be called apps.”

“If you’re not running company-wide AI experiments today, you’ll be ‘too far behind to catch up’ in 12 months.” —Jeff Kunzelman

Stick around to the end for a 60-second Hot-Seat Coaching segment and Andreas’s signature closing:N “Remember, in leadership we adapt and thrive, or we don’t survive.”
