Are you still hiring humans when AI could 10x your output for a fraction of the cost?

Jordan Gal hosts entrepreneur Christian Genco on the Offsite podcast, where they dive deep into optimizing personal performance for business success. Christian, a solo developer building File Inbox, shares his recent breakthrough with sleep onset insomnia through a carefully crafted supplement cocktail including melatonin and creatine. "I can create these tools now where I'm hunting," Christian explains about his transition from managing human teams to leveraging AI agents for development work. The conversation explores how small, nimble companies can demand extreme leverage through AI while legacy Fortune 100 companies struggle with outdated processes. How do entrepreneurs maintain focus during chaotic news cycles while building sanctuary spaces for meaningful work?
