How a $5B founder is using AI (3 tutorials)
Wade Foster, co-founder of Zapier (valued around $5 billion), joins Sam Parr and Shaan Puri to demonstrate how he uses AI not just as a chatbot, but as an operational force multiplier in his life and business. He walks through custom AI agents that run deterministically via Zapier, including a morning presidential-style briefing, an evening scribe that automates follow-ups, and a 'war council' of AI personas that challenge his thinking. The conversation evolves into deeper themes about leadership, decision-making, wealth, and defining personal success.
