The roast
Tom Hunt spent a decade failing at 17 businesses only to settle on starting podcasts for companies that don’t have anything to say. He’s the only CEO who warns you he has no idea what he’s doing, mostly because his engagement rate confirms nobody is listening to check his work.

Now AI can do them all. One example at Fame: asset reviews. We ship around 1,000 client assets per week, reviewing those used to be people, now it's AI. Intelligent tasks are now starting to be done by AI, what used to be a high paying team member is now a $7 API call. An example at Fame: creative assignments. We need to assign the right writer to the right client to ensure the best results, that use

I nearly rejected her. That’s what the AI told me to do. Despite AI “stealing all our jobs”... Fame was hiring for an account manager and I ran a popular AI tool over a couple of candidates as an experiment. But our top candidate was rejected. Why? Keywords on their LinkedIn profile didn’t match the job description. They had the “wrong” background and a gap on paper They're now one of the people I'd least like to lose. Software is brilliant at matching keywords. Please don’t rely on intelligence when judgement is needed. You're hiring a human. Act like it.

I ignore my team if they say: - I have a doctors appointment this afternoon - I will be picking up the kids later - I'm popping out for lunch - Just taking the dog for a walk No reply. Not even a Slack emoji. Just white space. Why? I'm training them to stop asking. As I don't care. They'll all adults. I care: - If they are getting results - If they are happy Welcome to macro-management. Their life is their life. We don't track time, we track output.
