Adapting to AI: Build Tall or Build Wide? | Numbers & Nonsense S201

Описание: Welcome to Season 2 of Numbers & Nonsense!

In Season 1, we focused on the mechanics of buying and running small businesses — SBA loans, due diligence, cash flow, and real-world deals.

In Season 2, we’re zooming out.

This season is about how the world is changing — through the eyes of entrepreneurs actually living it.

In this episode, Joe Nolan and Aaron Holtzman sit down with Johnny Gabriel, serial entrepreneur and founder of Daedalus, to talk about how AI is reshaping work, hiring, and leverage — especially for small and mid-sized businesses.

We break down a simple but powerful idea:

Do you grow by building “wide” (more people)… or “tall” (more leverage)?

In this episode, we cover:

-How AI is replacing busywork, not human judgment
-“Tall vs wide” growth strategies explained in plain English
-Why professional services are shifting from compliance to advisory
-The rise of “proof of human” as a premium experience
-What this means for hiring, margins, and customer relationships

This conversation kicks off Season 2 — and coming up next is a two-part series where we break down the same business deal from both sides of the table:

Part 1: the seller

Part 2: the business broker who put the deal together

If you’re buying, selling, or building a business right now, this season is for you.
