Eric reveals how he’s restructuring his entire company around AI agents, building what he calls a “single brain” that connects every tool and data source into one unified intelligence. He breaks down the four levels of AI adoption, why 91% of enterprises are failing at implementation, and how an org chart of specialist agents, fleet commanders, and closed loops lets one human operate like a 10x team member. Along the way he shares practical tactics: spinning up hundreds of ad creative variations, building cold email infrastructure, finding $500K in savings with a CFO agent, slashing token costs, and optimizing for the coming wave of agent-driven buying (B2A).

Key takeaways

◾A connected “single brain” beats isolated AI tools

◾One human plus five agents equals a 10x team member

◾Optimize for agents now, because they’re the new buyers
