SaaStr 806: How The Smartest Founders Are Already Winning with AI: SaaStr CEO Jason Lemkin on My First Million  SaaStr CEO and Founder Jason Lemkin recently returned to HubSpot's My First Million Podcast with Sam Parr and Shaan Puri to do a deep dive on AI and SaaS.

My First Million Key Takeaways  Everything is an issue of agency; agency is the most valuable skill for any founderWork from a creative mindset by actively applying your sense of agency: Write down the value, how you can display it, and then do the thing Getting Ted Lasso'd: When a Brit with twice the intelligence and knowledge gets outperformed by the American who has 10x the agency and confidencePay attention to your ideas that make you laugh; if they elicit this type of emotion in you, then you might be onto something If you wait for the news, you will be wrong or lateWhat is ignored by the media today that will be studied by future historians?  Leverage on high agency has never been higher, thanks to modern AI tools Some people let reality happen to them and then use words to describe it, while others use words to edit and shape their reality Language shapes the world around usMinimize “should” from your vocabulary and start doing!The best way to increase your agency is to hang around people with high agencyIdeas are avocados: they are perishable – there is no time like the present to work on your idea The high-agency approach to problem solving: Ask “Why, Why, Why?” and continue to drill down on the problem until you arrive at the fundamental issue upon which you can take action today Speed is negotiable: Mobilize your army, which is your ideas, your resources, and your intention, to achieve your goal in much less time than you perceive to be possible Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEpisode 703: Sam Parr ( https://x.com/theSamParr ) and Shaan Puri ( https://x.com/ShaanVP ) talk to George Mack ( https://x.com/george__mack ) about high agency.  — Links: • Steal Sam's guide to turn ChatGPT into your Executive Coach: https://clickhubspot.com/wec • High Agency - https://www.highagency.com/  • Nick Mowbray episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pHcxoZ0j9A  — Check Out Shaan's Stuff: Need to hire?
