The fastest path to AI adoption in your company isn't hiring an expert. It's becoming one yourself.
In this episode, we sit down with John Kaplar, who left an 18-year software career to teach founders and designers how to integrate AI into real workflows. John makes the case that founders who delegate AI before they understand it can't manage the work, evaluate the results, or build on what's possible.
We dig into why agentic AI is the wave founders can't afford to skip, how one founder built a full SaaS application in a weekend, and the single best use of AI for early-stage companies. Plus, what founders need to know about data ethics, AI bias, and why showing up as an actual human is becoming the only competitive moat that matters.
If you're trying to figure out where AI fits in your business right now, this episode maps it out.
