About this episode

Callan Faulkner discusses how she built a team of 150 AI employees while maintaining her human workforce, sharing insights on productivity and automation.

How She Built a Team of 150 AI Employees Without Letting Anyone Go Look at your to-do list right now. How much of what's on it could be done by something that isn't you?

Callan built The Uncommon Business teaching founders how to hire AI employees, meaning an AI that owns a task or a whole outcome and does it as well as a person would. In three years she's gone from a kitchen-table experiment with ChatGPT to a $19.5 million launch. In this conversation she breaks down exactly how she gets her team to hand the repeatable work to AI and keep only what needs a human, and how you can start doing the same this week. So much of our worth is tied up in effort, in how long something took and how much we carried alone. AI pokes a hole in that story, and for a lot of women it feels like cheating. Callan's reframe: the hours were never what your buyers paid for. Hand off the grunt work and get back the parts of your business only you can grow.
