In today’s episode, Craig chats with Anthony Eden from DNSimple about how they use AI in their businesses and their personal lives. As early skeptics of AI, they do a deep dive into what made them change their minds, what AI does for them, and how it might actually be holding people back. Like the internet, AI is a powerful tool people can use to make their lives better.
They also chat about what it’s like to raise kids as entrepreneurs. Has their influence improved or hindered their children’s lives? Not to mention, how do they balance their work life and personal life and is AI helping them with that balance?
Anthony Eden is the creator and founder of DNSimple. He has been developing web applications since the early days of the web (1995) using Ruby, Erlang, Golang, and other languages. He used to publish a podcast called the Strong Businesses Podcast with Steven Bristol. He also published a mostly weekly podcast of progressive dance music over at theministerprime.com. He also produces tracks which can be found on SoundCloud.
Highlights from Craig and Anthony’s conversation:
What changed Anthony and Craig’s minds about AI
How to, as an entrepreneur, leverage AI without just “chasing the trend”
The personal and emotional impacts of running a business in this AI world
What AI will do for the future of business and SaaS
Training AI and what the “mistakes” teach you and your team
“I have to have a little bit of fear in everything I do [as a founder].”
Keeping customer data safe and secure
What data is AI using to aid you with your business?
“This kind of stuff is fantastic but, boy, does it make you lazy.”
As an entrepreneur, how do you talk to your kids about careers after college?
How is generative AI going to make our lives better?
Takeaways and Vision:
How do you take a non-native AI solution and adapt it to a solution for your customers, your team, and your business? As a founder and entrepreneur, how you use AI in your business is important. Not only do you have to pay attention to what information you are getting from AI, but how it is affecting your productivity overall.
