“Most businesses aren't losing to AI. They're losing to competitors who use it. After 800+ episodes interviewing founders, I've noticed the ones winning right now all do 3 things: 1 - Let AI handle the busywork 2 - Spend the saved time on sales 3 - Move faster than everyone else If you're doing real revenue and want this built into your business, reply 'SCALE' and I'll reach out.”

“Learning AI today reminds me of discovering Bitcoin in 2011. That’s how early I believe this opportunity is. If you already understand an industry, think about what happens when you also learn how to put AI to work in it. Spend time with the tools. Learn how to prompt properly and test whether the results actually solve a problem. That’s where you start building an advantage. I’m taking this seriously because I believe understanding AI could change what I’m able to build. What are you using AI for right now?”

“Learning AI today is like discovering Bitcoin in 2011, not because the technologies are identical, but because both represent early-stage shifts whose long-term impact is difficult to see at first. The people who learn how to use AI now may gain a significant advantage as it becomes more capable and widely adopted. Most people don’t yet realize how much they could create, automate, and accomplish by starting today.”

“I keep saying it — AI is moving way too fast, and I don’t think enough people in crypto are taking the security implications seriously. We’ve already seen hacks bring down entire protocols. What happens as attackers get more capable AI tools to find and exploit weaknesses? Are the teams behind our favorite protocols preparing for that? How are they protecting the assets people have trusted them with? I want to hear more about that when a project talks about its AI strategy.”

“The more I think about it, the less I believe humans will be able to control AI in the future. We’re building something to be smarter than us and somehow assuming we’ll always have the final say.”

“I don’t think people understand how dangerous AI is. Imagine telling Grok to disengage your Tesla and it tells you no. Some of you never watched I, Robot and it shows.”
