In this episode, Claudine Wong and Lisa Bernard explore how artificial intelligence is transforming entrepreneurship with Jonathan Wank, a serial entrepreneur who’s founded companies across visual effects, renewable energy, and now AI startups. Wank shares how AI has completely changed the way he builds businesses — faster, cheaper, and more efficiently — through his innovative 1-1-1 framework: one product, one month, $1,000. He explains how AI can level the playing field for small businesses and new founders while also warning about the disruption ahead. From brainstorming ideas with ChatGPT to watching AIagents code websites and build databases, Wank pulls back the curtain on how entrepreneurs can use AI to test, iterate, and scale ideas at lightning speed — without losing the human touch.
