The app for independent voices

Most people still talk about AI like it removes management.

I think it often relocates management.

Tomorrow morning, I’m publishing the first article in my new Hybrid Solopreneur series: The Leverage Illusion

It starts with a question I think more founders need to ask:

What if your “cheap” AI stack is not really buying leverage? What if it is quietly hiring you into a second job?

Not because the tools are useless. Because setup, babysitting, checking, routing, fixing, and rework all still have to live somewhere.

Too often, they end up living in you.

This first piece breaks down the hidden tax behind the shiny math, the trap behind the promise, and the filter I think more solo operators need before adding one more tool, one more agent, or one more dashboard.

If you’ve ever looked at your stack and thought, “Why do I somehow have more to manage now?” this one is for you.

Monday morning. The Leverage Illusion.

Restack this if you know a founder who is drowning in “leverage.”
