Last night, we had an amazing call with Dan Martell, the renowned AI expert and entrepreneur. On the call, Dan covered some incredibly valuable topics: 1️⃣ He shared his "AI Adoption Ladder" framework, which outlines the 5 key stages of AI adoption in businesses. This was super insightful for understanding where our own businesses and skills currently sit. 2️⃣ Dan dove into the top trends he's seeing in building successful AI-powered startups, including the importance of targeting specific verticals and leveraging distribution partnerships. 3️⃣ He also provided a ton of practical, actionable advice on how to go from 0 to $10M ARR with just a 2-person team. His emphasis on simplicity, customer focus, and leveraging AI was really eye-opening.

I just sat down with João Moura, the founder of CrewAI, for a deep-dive interview and if you’re building with agents (or thinking about it), this is a must-watch. João shared major new CrewAI features, real-world examples of how companies like PwC are using agents in production, and his take on where agent development is heading. Here’s what you’ll learn: ✅ Brand-new CrewAI updates: reasoning agents, Slack integration, one-click deployment, and more ✅ Real use cases from enterprise companies and startups alike ✅ Behind-the-scenes dev insights on flows, evaluations, and scaling agent workflows ✅ How to position yourself for AI dev jobs using CrewAI (including a jobs board you didn’t know existed) Whether you're already using CrewAI or still figuring out which agent framework to pick, this interview will help you see what’s possible and where to go next.
