Episode Details

What's really happening with AI and how we work? The common story is that AI tools are making us more productive, but the reality is more complicated when most work habits are now optimizing for a bottleneck that no longer exists. In this video, I share the inside scoop on why execution capacity is no longer the scarce resource and what that means for how you spend your time:

• Why the bottleneck shifted to clarity, ambition, and distribution when execution got cheap enough that the meeting now takes longer than building the feature

• How eight specific habits are actively costing you in an AI-native world by protecting execution instead of doing it

• What Anthropic shipping Cowork in ten days with four people reveals about the gap between where the bottleneck moved and the habits most leaders still have

• Where the real moats are forming around relationships, distribution, and ambition when everyone can build but not everyone can swing hard enough

For professionals navigating 2026, the chaos you're feeling is not random. It's the gap between where the bottleneck moved and the habits you still have, and closing that gap is the opportunity.
