Everyone thinks their IT team can “build an AI agent.” They can’t. Not the real ones. In this episode, I break down why most teams hit a wall in 30 days and why leaders need to stop chasing ego projects and focus on execution that actually drives growth.

Most companies still think scaling means hiring more people. That era is dead.

Brandon walks through his actual workflow, his personal AI stack, and how he went...

Not because reps are bad. Because the system is broken. So we walked through Zoe, our Cloud Employee that handles the entire lead response motion end to end. Enrichment, outreach, follow-up, scheduling, C...
