The Fastest Way to Win With AI: Solve Real Problems People Will Pay For
There’s a lot of noise around AI right now. People love to talk about bubbles, hype cycles, and overnight success. But when you look at what’s actually happening on the ground, a very different story emerges.
In this episode, we break down real AI product success stories from solopreneurs and founders who shipped fast, validated real demand, and focused relentlessly on conversion—not perfection.
From a solo founder who built a mobile app using ChatGPT and Cursor and hit 20,000 downloads in a single week, to a broader discussion on why the so-called “AI bubble popping” is actually a healthy filter for the ecosystem, this conversation is about what actually works.
This isn’t about chasing trends or quick cash grabs. It’s about having strong instincts for real problems, moving fast, and letting the market validate your ideas.
