Episode 66: Can you really build a zero-employee business with AI? Nathan Lands (https://x.com/NathanLands) sits down with John Rush (https://x.com/johnrushx), founder and self-proclaimed builder of “the most automated org on earth,” to unpack what it takes to launch and run a company where 80% of the work (and soon, 100%) is done by AI agents.

John shares his journey from managing large VC-backed teams to going fully solo and using AI to automate nearly every task in his startups, from prototyping and front-end design to sales outreach and SEO content creation. The conversation covers unique agent workflows, how to rapidly test business ideas, how specialized vs. generalist AI agents can supercharge productivity, and practical insights for solopreneurs and founders curious about leveraging automation for scale.
