Build Acceleration
How AI compressed your timeline, or did not. What used to take months that now takes weeks?
Conversations with Founders Building at AI Speed
Founder AI Playbook
Founder AI Playbook is a podcast about modern execution.
Real founders. Real products. Real tradeoffs.
Each episode explores how founders are actually using AI in their build process: what changed, what did not, what surprised them, and what still requires real judgment.
If you are building something ambitious, this is a chance to share the thinking behind your execution.
What We Talk About
The conversation is mostly free-form and centered around you: your product, your journey, and the decisions you have made.
We also anchor each episode in one of four themes that resonate strongly with founders and operators.
Capital Efficiency
How AI changed your cost structure. Did it replace a SaaS, an agency, a dev team? What still required investment?
AI Did Not Fix This
Where it fell short. What broke? What required real engineering? What still needs taste?
Redesigning the Founder Skillset
What founders now need to learn. What matters more in 2026 than it did in 2025?
You choose the theme that best fits your story.
Why Be a Guest?
Founders who explain their execution clearly often improve both strategy and visibility.
Clarify Your Thinking
Talking through your execution decisions sharpens your own strategy.
Expand Your Reach
The episode is professionally edited and distributed to my LinkedIn network and professional audience.
Attract Aligned Talent and Partners
Founders who speak clearly about how they build tend to attract the right collaborators.
Position Yourself as a Modern Operator
This is not a pitch show. It is about execution discipline and strategic clarity, the things serious builders respect.
What to Expect
The goal is simple: an insightful conversation that other founders can actually learn from.
- 30-45 minute recorded conversation
- Prompted but conversational
- You speak freely and I guide the discussion
- Camera optional
- Professional post-production editing
- Published and distributed on LinkedIn and YouTube
I am looking forward to the conversation.
