• Here's Exactly How You Can Let Robots Do all the Work for You | Ep. #183

  I sat down with Flo Crivello, the founder of Lindy, and this one completely changed how I think about AI agents. We talked about how Lindy works like an AI employee that can handle everything from customer support and sales outreach to booking meetings and even making phone calls. Flo showed me real examples from his own workflow, daily digests, email triage, recruiting, you name it. We also got into how people are already building entire agencies on top of Lindy, charging thousands a month just to set up and maintain these AI flows. If you're even slightly interested in automation, starting a business, or just want to work less and get more done, you need to hear this. https://www.lindy.ai/Timestamps below.

• The Easiest Way to Test Any Business Idea⏐Holdco Bros. Ep. #182

  Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.comHoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, Nik and I discussed a bunch of real-world business ideas. We started with how I generated 70+ high-intent leads for a secret pickleball club using just $200 in Facebook ads. We got into the economics of renting out backyard sport courts, talked about a Swimpley-style marketplace for pickleball (www.portacourts.com), and broke down why bathtub refinishing might be one of the best overlooked home service businesses out there. Toward the end, we talked through a new idea for an AI-powered accountability partner that feels more like texting a friend than using an app.Learn more about Nik here: http://linktr.ee/cofoundersnikShare your ideas with us:[email protected]@cofounders.comTimestamps below.
