About this episode

Four operators discuss the impact of AI on their businesses one month into a cohort program.

A GTF Productions live briefing recorded Friday, July 17, 2026, one month into Dan Aberhart's GYFOS AI cohort. Four Cohort 1 co-creators -- agronomist Robert Woolf, farmer Joe Larre, entrepreneur Chris Nykolaishen, and farmland realtor Tim Hammond -- go around the horn on what they were trying to fix, what their personal operating diagnostics revealed about how they're wired, and the specific moments AI-built agents changed a real decision: a satellite-corrected reseed call, a walked-away combine deal, a 4 a.m. reconciliation agent, and a tool built to help Tim rehearse hard conversations. Dan closes with the Cohort 2 offer (Aug 4 start, 8-12 seats, $2,250 USD, 30-day guarantee) and the larger thesis: the course was the funnel, the room is the product. Listeners walk out with a concrete before/after on what a 30-day AI build cycle actually produces for four very different ag-adjacent businesses.
