AI Is About to Replace Software (And Create Million-Dollar Solo Businesses)

What happens when artificial intelligence stops being a tool—and starts becoming the engine behind how we think, operate, and build businesses?
In this episode of The Medicine and Money Show, I sit down with Len Ward, founder and managing partner of Comexus, to break down one of the biggest shifts happening right now: the move from a “search and retrieve” world to a “solve my problem” world powered by AI.
Len and I dive into how AI is transforming marketing, operations, and decision-making—and why the people who don’t adapt their mindset are going to get left behind. We talk about what it actually means to unlock your data, layer AI on top of it, and start interacting with your business like it’s a 25-year employee who knows everything.
I also share how we’re implementing these exact strategies inside my own practice—using AI to automate workflows, reduce friction, and allow me to step into more of an editor and decision-maker role instead of being buried in tasks.
We go deep on where this is all heading: the end of traditional software, the rise of one- and two-person companies doing millions in revenue, and why this moment is one of the biggest opportunities I’ve seen for entrepreneurs.
For physicians, this conversation hits home. We talk about the gap between clinical training and business literacy, why not understanding your numbers is a liability, and how ego can quietly hold you back from leveling up.
At its core, this episode reinforces something I strongly believe: AI isn’t just changing how we work—it’s changing who wins.
