FOF 184 | Sid Bharath. Agentic AI In Practice.
Sid Bharath, founder of Refound, lays out what it means to rebuild a company's operating model around AI rather than bolting it on. The conversation covers an agentic way of working day-to-day, treating AI agents as employees by stripping admin busywork into a "parallel AI employee," where mid-market companies should start for fast ROI, and how an always-on "AI OS" turns on-demand prompting into true agent automation.
FOF 183 | Deepak Shukla. On Endurance, Rapping And Technology.
Deepak Shukla, founder of Pearl Lemon and LemStudio, shares an unconventional path from Deloitte to rapping to 200-mile ultramarathons to building software companies. The conversation explores how endurance sport shapes a founder's tolerance for stress, why most risk is really "loss of status," what recording 150 rap songs taught him about ambition and volume, and why distribution—not software quality—is the non-negotiable skill in the AI era.
FOF 182 | Lee Williams. The Age Of The Orchestrators.
Lee Williams, founder and CTO of Edelleye Digital, argues we have entered a "digital renaissance" and a new age of builders he calls orchestrators. Drawing on a career that spans the first smartphones at Be and Palm and leading Nokia's smartphone group, he explains how to read technological waves, why human agency and creativity still matter most, and how the role of the builder is shifting from writing code to orchestrating teams of AI agents.
FOF 181 | Tim Serewicz. Everybody Is Vulnerable To The Hype Cycle.
Tim Serewicz, a veteran technology executive, CTO, and AI strategist, explains why everybody—from boards to engineers—is vulnerable to the AI hype cycle. The conversation covers the biggest misconceptions executives hold about AI, why most implementations fail when they are not tied to business processes, where small and on-premise models will outperform frontier systems as a cost reckoning approaches, the "player-coach trap" in technical leadership, and what engineers must do to remain indispensable over the next decade.
