| 5/30/26 | #2307 Eric Ries: Why Anthropic Won and How To Build Incurruptible companies | Eric Ries, who helped so many entrepreneurs build phenomenally successful businesses based on his Lean Startup philosophy, is back with a new book called Incorruptible. The book explains why some companies succeed over the long term, while others wither. I asked him to tell us the stories of the AI companies he’s worked with and studied, and talk about how he used AI help him research his book. Eric Ries is the entrepreneur and author behind The Lean Startup, one of the most influential startup books of the last decade. He has advised founders and companies around the world on innovation, long-term thinking, and organizational design, and he also helped shape governance structures for mission-driven AI companies like Anthropic.

| 5/27/26 | #2306 Polsia: AI Agent + Zero Employees = $10M Run Rate | The zero-human company with the $10 million run rate has a lot of skeptics online. I collected all the skeptics’ challenges and asked the founder about each one.

Ben Cera is the founder of Polsia, an AI platform that helps users launch businesses and software products using autonomous agents. Before Polsia, Ben built and sold startups in the creator and consumer internet space, and later raised significant venture funding to pursue AI-native products. Today, Polsia combines AI agents, infrastructure partners, and automation tools to make entrepreneurship accessible to non-technical users.

| 1/23/26 | #2294 He Claude Code: Build Me a YouTube Replacement | When YouTube kicked Pat Walls’ Starter Story channel off the platform, he spent a weekend getting Claude Code to build him a replacement. I wanted to see how it was done, so he walked me through it step-by-step. Turns out it was a mistake and he’s back on YouTube, but the site he made was so good that it’s his company’s new homebase. Pat Walls is the founder of Starter Story, a media and education company that helps entrepreneurs learn how real businesses get built. Starter Story generates over $2M a year through subscriptions, courses, and content, and its YouTube channel reaches millions of viewers each month.

| 11/5/25 | #2284 Why is Morning Brew’s founder selling “AI Transformation”? | Coming into this interview I wasn’t even sure what “AI Transformation” was, let alone why so many companies pay for it. Here’s the deal: Tenex, the company founded by Alex Lieberman & Arman Hezarkhani, goes into companies hunting for ways to save or making them money using AI. Once they find that, it becomes a no brainer for companies to hire them to build it. But Tenex does more than AI Transformation. They also run a dev shop where their developers use AI to build super fast for clients. Alex Lieberman and Arman Hezarkhani are the co-founders of Tenex, a company blending high-performance engineering with AI transformation consulting. Their model aligns incentives around output rather than time, helping enterprises and startups build software faster and integrate AI across people, processes, and tools. Together, they’re building what they call the “McKinsey for AI”—a hybrid of dev shop, consultancy, and innovation lab helping companies thrive in the post-AI era.

| 10/30/25 | #2283 How Dan Shipper uses AI to build artisanal AI apps | “Why did you launch yet another voice dictation app?” I asked Dan Shipper, founder of Every. I thought he’d tell me that there was some kind of research that showed people needed another one. Nah. It came down to his team’s taste and personal preference. They just wanted something different. So a single creator on the team built it. AI makes it easier for more people to create apps. So what’s the differentiator? From what I got in this interview — over and over — it’s the creator’s taste. Dan Shipper is the founder and CEO of Every, a hybrid media and software company creating AI-powered tools for productivity and creativity. The company publishes one of the most widely read newsletters on technology and builds products like Monologue (AI dictation), Spiral (AI ghostwriting), and Cora (AI email assistant).
