How We Work and Live in the New AI World.
Hosted by Gary Kadi and Gus Waite
Season one asked what success was costing the man behind it. Season two goes outside: how do you redesign a business so success no longer requires the founder, the team or the family to suffer?
What happens when businesses use AI to move faster without stopping to ask what actually creates value? Chris Condon went from driving a forklift to turning around a company with $59 million in debt, walked away from a profitable business model, and believes speed without judgment simply moves the mistake further down the line.
That loss changed the course of Dr. Steven Charlap’s life. Surgeon, Harvard MBA and founder of MEDOME.ai, he spent more than a decade developing a different approach: AI as a second layer of intelligence that helps patients understand their own health and catch what might otherwise be missed. Trust, but verify.
Why founders become the biggest bottleneck in their own companies, the 80% rule for delegation, and why memory is critical for AI-native companies. Vlad Podoliako on building a company brain around your knowledge, and why AI agents can elevate people instead of replacing them.
Eight years, tens of millions of dollars, and not one unit sold. That is what it took Cody Simmons and his team to get DermaSensor through the FDA, the first automated skin cancer detection device cleared for use by primary care doctors. Three of them stayed the whole way.
Could you build a $5 million company at 70% EBITDA with no employees? Not a few. None. That question broke my brain when Gus first put it to me, and it is the wrong place to start. Underneath the number is a belief most founders carry without ever naming it.
Season one was Inside Man. We spent a year asking what success was costing the man behind it. Season two is delegAIte, and now we go outside. Same heart, new game: how do you redesign the business so success no longer requires the founder, the team or the family to suffer?
Every episode circles the same question: what would your business look like if the repeatable work ran without you? That is what delegAIte installs.
