Zero to $50M in 4 months. $100M+ in 12 months. That's the story of how Handshake discovered they were sitting on AI's most valuable resource: 20 million students and experts. For a decade, Garrett Lord built a career network for students and PhDs. A great business, growing well. Then AI happened. Last Christmas, Garrett realized his network of 500,000 PhDs and 3 million master's is exactly what frontier AI labs desperately needed to train their models. He flew around the country during the holidays, talked to lab leaders, and launched a new business inside his existing company. Eight months in, they now work with all 7 major frontier AI labs and have become one of the fastest-growing businesses in Silicon Valley history. In our conversation, Garrett shares: 🔸 How Handshake found this opportunity 🔸 Why AI models need human experts (e.g. physics PhDs) to improve 🔸 What this “data labeling” actually involves 🔸 Inside the actual work: what a biology PhD does for 8 hours that makes GPT-5 smarter 🔸 The playbook for building a startup inside a startup: separate teams, separate offices, separate everything 🔸 Why the shift from “generalist” to “expert” data labeling created a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity 🔸 Why AI won’t eliminate entry-level jobs—it’s creating “Iron Man suits” that make junior employees 10x more productive Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 CodeRabbit — Cut code review time and bugs in half.

Inside Every 📧: The AI-native startup with 5 products, 7-figure revenue, and 100% AI-written code With just 15 people, Every 📧 publishes a daily AI newsletter, ships AI products, and operates a million-dollar-a-year consulting arm—all while their engineers write virtually zero code. It’s the most radical example of an AI-first company, and Dan Shipper 📧 (CEO) is a prolific writer who has become a leading voice on how AI is transforming the way we live and work. In this conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why every company needs an “AI operations lead” 🔸 The most underrated AI tool for non-programmers 🔸 Why Dan thinks AI will reshore jobs to the U.S. 🔸 An inside look at Every’s AI-first workflow 🔸 How Dan’s team uses an arsenal of AI agents (Claude, Codex, “Friday,” “Charlie”) in parallel, treating each AI like a specialist with unique strengths 🔸 Why generalists will thrive in an AI-first world, as rigid job titles blur and everyone becomes a “manager” of AI tools 🔸 Dan’s playbook for making any company AI-first—from the CEO setting the example, to hosting internal prompt-sharing sessions, to upskilling teams on AI tools 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 CodeRabbit—Cut code review time and bugs in half.
