Building a Billion-Dollar AI Startup
Most AI 'innovation' is just workflow automation disguised as intelligence. Benjamin Shapiro, founder of I Hear Everything and creator of AI-powered podcast production systems, talks with Tom Chavez about the brutal realities of building defensible AI companies versus riding the hype cycle. They dissect why proprietary data virtuosity trumps LLM wrappers, how outcome-oriented AI solutions kill traditional left-to-right workflows, and why founders must quintuple their execution speed or face extinction in the compressed imagination-to-execution timeline.
