He joined Every just four months ago—and it feels like we’ve done the work of years since. We’ve launched two new AI products, an incredible amount of great writing, a new course, and more.\n\nWe get into my candid thoughts on entrepreneurship in the AI age—including why you should ship fast, and how not to be misled by metrics like TAM; how AI startups can find valuable niches—and live demos of our apps Spiral and Sparkle; Brandon’s hard-earned lessons from running a insuretech business for seven years; the confusing realities of being an exited founder, and how we navigated through those times; what brought Brandon to Every—including the email he sent me before joining; and Every’s master plan and what we hope to build over the next few months and years\n\nThis is a must-watch for anyone interested in building a calm, profitable business empire in the age of AI. \n\nIf you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! \n\nWant even more?\nSign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT.
