Epiphany Generator: Using AI in daily workflows can transform it into a tool that not only provides information but also stimulates new ideas and insights. Towards Better Conversations: The episode emphasizes the importance of rethinking how we engage AI and challenges the notion that it's primarily for problem-solving rather than for facilitating understanding. Bias Acknowledgement: It's crucial to recognize our biases toward AI capabilities and to shift our perspective to appreciate AI as a tool for both interpersonal and intrapersonal dialogues. Designing for Listening: Future AI technology should intentionally be designed to foster deep listening and enhance understanding, moving beyond merely responding with solutions. Notable Quotes: "I used GPT as an epiphany generator, an elaboration encourager." "I believe that the primary limitation right now is the interface between us and the machine." "We need the Mediator app. It's not just the fingers problem."

Episode Summary: Joined by Jeremy Utley, David McRaney, and Henrik Werdelin, the discussion takes a deep dive into how AI could act as a facilitator in human interactions, potentially bridging gaps in communication. The episode addresses the potential of AI as a tool for mutual understanding and its limitations in conveying authentic emotional connections. There is a focus on how AI can strive toward becoming a "faithful translator," aiding in better translating human thoughts and emotions into shared understanding. This interplay of AI, cognitive biases, and communication brings forth a rich conversation on the collective and individual impacts of AI on productivity and personal clarity. Key Takeaways: AI has the potential to bridge gaps in communication, acting as a "faithful translator" to help humans better understand each other. Cognitive biases and the ambiguity of language highlight the challenges AI faces in truly capturing and conveying authentic human emotions. The importance of AI lies not just in providing organized information but in facilitating deeper layers of connection and understanding. Practical applications of AI in summary and synthesis show promise, yet the depth of understanding requires further development. AI can serve as a catalyst for personal insights, yet users must actively guide it to achieve exceptional results. Notable Quotes: "As our ability to understand each other approximates zero, so does our ability to do anything else." "The medium is the message. The technology you use uses you." "AI's best use is in establishing a shared conceptual framework before we start the conversation." "It's not the utility of the communication, it is the emotional connection." "If this could be exceptional, how could it? What would I need to say for it to be truly exceptional?"

We're celebrating the 400th episode of The Modern Customer Podcast with Henrik Werdelin, co-founder of Bark, founding partner of Prehype! Henrik explores the powerful role of AI in leadership and customer experience, showing how it drives personalization, efficiency, and innovation.  From building personalized customer relationships to empowering leaders to embrace AI firsthand, Henrik shares actionable insights that you won't want to miss.

Nicholas Thorne is a partner at prehype, a venture development firm that helps large companies create startups by acting as an incubator. He's also the founder of Audos, an AI co-pilot designed to assist entrepreneurs in conducting customer interviews, creating slide decks, and potentially investing in their ideas. According to Nicholas, Audos can even write code and identify freelancers, functioning as a virtual technical product manager. I interviewed him to explore how this co-pilot supports entrepreneurs, particularly those in the “conceptual stage,” to locate — and eventually exploit — what he calls ‘founder-customer fit.' He outlined the ideal user profiles for Audos, which range from small business owners to corporate innovators and also explained how Audos leverages AI to tackle various tasks for entrepreneurs and discussed the investment opportunities he's pursuing. Finally, Nicholas shared some of the resources he's using to deepen his understanding of AI. Runtime: 25:39 Episode breakdown (1:31) How Audos works, and who's using it. (4:33) "It's just about trying to do the best thing you can to create more information with which you can make progress." (9:12) Audos' ideal customer is a "conceptual stage" founder. (11:40) Helping entrepreneurs "find and then nurture, and over time, exploit what we call 'founder-customer fit.'" (15:36) Using AI to shorten the customer discovery process and speed time to market (19:30) "I think you would probably consider it a family or suite of GPTs that are all trained in extremely specific jobs."

Henrik Werdelin is on an AI-fueled mission to launch thousands of startups a year. He is the founder of BARK, which went public, and prehype, a studio that has incubated several unicorns. With Audos, Henrik is building AI agents that can coach founders how he would — if he had infinite time to do so. And Audos is not just for the cliche founder looking to launch a unicorn… It's for entrepreneurs of all stripes. With AI making things easier, Henrik expects to see lots more “DonkeyCorns,” i.e. highly profitable businesses operated by just one or two people. “DonkeyCorns party like unicorns, but they grind like mules.”Check out this episode for lots of practical tips for how you can get more out of AI. Plus, we'll peer into the weird future we're building. Takeaways from this episode: AI enables new businesses to be created, launched, and tested very quickly. Henrik shares how Audos uses AI to help founders focus on their customers, launch, and get customersHenrik talks to his AI agents like they're people: He gives them names and backstories. By doing so, he finds he has a better partner than a bot or Google search would be. The more creative you are with prompts, the better the AI will be. e.g., Ask for “ten ideas that will definitely get me fired”“Customer-founder fit” is the most important ingredient to Henrik Use “signal mining” to prove there is real demand for your product“The swipe” proves there is real intent for your product, i.e. get people to pay for it, even if you haven't built it yet.BARK succeeded (it's gone public) by following its mission (be “Disney for dogs”) not by following its utility (boxes of stuff for pets)“Relationship capital” and “humanity” will be more important, as AI continues to excel at technical jobs. Take AI seriously right now. And Henrik says senior leaders need to be using it themselvesIt's weird out there: We discuss the uncanny valley of talking to AI agents (including those that impersonate your dead spouse) Rock and roll – Henrik tells the story of his career break: As an intern, he pulled an on-air stunt at MTV that he was sure would get him fired, but instead got him a huge promotion.Henrik is the author of The Acorn Method: How Companies Get Growing Again. And he's writing a new book, Me, My Customer, and AI. He also co-hosts the podcast Beyond the Prompt, which features the interesting, weird, and uncanny-valley ways people are using AI in their day-to-day lives, as well as practical tips for how you can go beyond “beginner mode” in your own use of AI. CRAFTED. is brought to you in partnership with Docker, which helps developers build, share, run and verify applications anywhere – without environment confirmation or management.

Henrik Werdelin is a serial entrepreneur and author, who co-founded BarkBox, a subscription-based service providing a monthly box of treats and toys for dogs. BarkBox is now called BARK and it is a publicly traded company, after its IPO in June of 2021. Henrik has also started Prehype, a collective of entrepreneurs that builds products and companies through collaboration with corporations and VCs.Henrik talks to us about the early days of BARK, randomly meeting his co-founder Matt Meeker during a cruise ship and the strategies used for growing their company. We discuss the creative marketing and the famous 4/20 campaign, as well as raising capital at the beginning of the twenty-tens.We also talk about the best dog breed for founders and delve deeper into the world of pet startups. Henrik speaks on his book “The Acorn Method”, which covers building new product lines within the confines of an existing business. and shares interesting insights on what makes a good startup employee and how the roles of early employees shape across the lifespan of a company.

Originally from Denmark and now living in the US, Henrik Werdelin has been recognized as one of the “Top 100 Most Creative People In Business” by Fast Company and named to the “Silicon Alley 100” by Business Insider. His path to entrepreneurship took him through the BBC, MTV and Joost before he ended up creating Prehype, a “halfway house” for entrepreneurs like him, who didn't know what to do next. Not only has Prehype incubated new ventures from scratch and in collaboration with Fortune 500 companies, it's also where he hatched his own startup, Bark. With a mission to make dogs as happy as they make us, Bark quickly took off, expanding its BarkBox subscription service over the years to include toys, pet food, home and health product lines. In June of 2021, Bark went public via SPAC by merging with Northern Star Acquisition. The newly combined company is valued at approximately $1.6 billion, and Bark is expected to generate around $365 million in revenues and reach a gross profit of $221 million this year. But the coolest part of the job, Henrik says, is getting to make dogs happy. *** If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Organic growth and innovation are increasingly hard to come by. Large companies are progressively acquiring or collaborating with more nimble and younger startups. However, acquiring another business or partnering up is a serious commitment - integration can be a challenge, payback time frames can be long and success is far from guaranteed. What is the recipe for success and what role do VC funds, incubators and innovation consultants play in this ecosystem? Panelists Harry Keen (CEO and Co-founder, Hazy), Stacey Seltzer (Partner, Prehype), Itxaso del Palacio (Investor), Matthew Price (Customer Connect Program Leader EMEA, Oracle) and Anela Musat (Partner, CMS London) share their experience.

  Dustyn Winder is the co-founder and managing partner at Akili.Vc Akili is a pre-seed to Series A fund tailored for Africa. Their philosophy is based on the belief that there are very interesting problems that are often difficult for entrepreneurs to execute on, whether because they are hidden inside corporations, neglected in disaffected communities, or in geographies that present different challenges than traditional startup markets.
