About this episode

Cory Blumenfeld discusses the importance of building a team alongside AI in business development.

Episode #154: Cory Blumenfeld has built five companies across industries he did not know going in, from driveway repair to healthtech, fintech, outsourcing, customer success, and LinkedIn personal branding. He exited CoHealth to ACTO, co founded Caribou, raised over $3M, and now runs BlueMoso and Linked Agency remotely from Playa del Carmen. In this episode, we talk about the big mistake many founders are making right now: thinking AI means they do not need a team. Cory explains why AI can make founders faster, but also turns them into the bottleneck even quicker once traction hits. We discuss what founders should delegate first, how to build with virtual assistants, why outsourcing often fails, and why the real challenge is not operational. It is emotional. We also cover founder ego, remote teams, personal brand, LinkedIn ghostwriting, building in unfamiliar industries, and what it actually means to build a company that does not depend on you doing everything yourself. #AI #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Outsourcing #Delegation #FounderLife #RemoteTeams #BusinessPodcast #NFtwins
