Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat if you could build a system of 38 AI agents that autonomously researches investors, evaluates their fit with your company, and sends perfectly personalized emails – all while you sleep? That's exactly what tech entrepreneur Jesse Anglen has created, and it's just one example of how Digital Labor is transforming business.In this mind-expanding conversation, Jesse shares his remarkable journey from starting his first construction business at 17 to becoming a pioneer in AI systems that augment human capabilities. With refreshing clarity and zero hype, he explains how he discovered the power of AI when an employee secretly used ChatGPT to complete a six-week process in just four days.Jesse introduces his vision for Ruh.ai – an operating system for digital labor that allows anyone to build sophisticated AI workflows through natural conversation. Want your email organized into urgency quadrants with draft responses prepared twice daily? Simply ask, and your new digital employee gets to work.The most powerful insight comes through Jesse's construction metaphor: "Inside your company right now, probably 80% of what you do is a waste of time... it is moving dirt." This dirt-moving – necessary but intrinsically valueless work – is precisely what AI should handle, freeing humans to focus on vision, curation, and meaningful connection.Unlike many technologists, Jesse balances technological enthusiasm with deep respect for human relationships. He warns about the dangers of synthetic relationships and celebrates how younger generations are returning to authentic human connections after seeing the damage of social media.Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just beginning to explore AI, Jesse's practical wisdom and clear examples will transform how you think about the future of work. The question isn't if digital labor will transform your industry – it's whether you'll be part of shaping that transformation.CONNECT WITH JESSE 🦾LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesseanglen/Website: https://www.rapidinnovation.io/Website:  https://ruh.ai/CONNECT WITH RESET 🎙️ Podcast: https://www.reset-podcast.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tonyajlong-RESET LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reset-with-tonya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resetwithTonya Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570923056203 CONNECT WITH TONYA 🚊 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyajlong/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyajlong Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tonya.j.long/ Check out my bestselling book, "AI and the New Oz: Leadership’s Journey to the Future of Work" available on Amazon [https://a.co/d/aTBJmEr].
