An engineer by training with a math background from Oxford, he has spent his career at the intersection of machines and markets—and has made AI fluency mandatory for all 400 employees.\nEngland believes refusing to use AI is like refusing to use the internet in 1995 because it wasn’t perfect. His use of AI is public and effusive, including in a firm-wide email that opened with “I used ChatGPT to write this email. You should be using it, too, and be proud of it.” AI informs how Walleye drafts memos and selects stocks.\nOn Every’s AI & I, Dan Shipper spoke with England about why he’s betting his entire organization on AI, why “results are what matter” more than blood, sweat, and tears, and what the American frontier can teach us about leading through technological change.\nLike, subscribe, comment, and share!\nTo hear more from Dan Shipper:\nSubscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribe\nFollow Dan Shipper on X: https://twitter.com/danshipper\nGo to https://attio.com/every and get 15% off your first year. \nTimestamps:\n0:00 Start\n0:51 Introduction\n3:25 What pushed Will to go all in on AI\n15:15 Inside the ‘AI-first’ memo Will shared at Walleye\n17:02 Why you shouldn’t be afraid of using AI for work\n31:25 How Will uses LLMs to sharpen his thinking\n35:57 Walleye’s approach to using AI to reduce risk\n39:35 What history can teach us about leading through change\n57:10 Will’s first principles for making better decisions\n59:23 Why Will journals every day—and how AI makes it easier\nLinks to resources mentioned in the episode:\nWill England/Walleye Capital: https://walleyecapital.com/bio/will-england\nEvery’s AI tools—Monologue, Cora, Spiral, and Sparkle: https://every.to/studio\nEvery’s AI consulting: https://every.to/consulting","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tpm1hNSy8JXTtPDypo5McPF0S6eDqruRTGYywu9SVrc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNDM2/YzU4NDNmYTQxNTJh/MTEzYjE4YmJmYTg5/ODY1NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
