Today, we build a machine to help you actually run customer interviews.

We’ll use AI to tackle the big blockers—accountability, CRM setup, outreach, transcription, and even how to pick your first customer. You’ll hear the idea Brian is testing with the interview machine, and we’ll walk through exactly how AI can make the process faster, more uncomfortable (in the right way), and a lot more effective. Plus, a bit on creativity and being human.
