Recently, a man I was rock climbing with told me about how he'd used AI to make a motivational poster for himself, which he'd hung on his bedroom wall: a bear, walking a slackline over a canyon, holding a sign that said, "Do cool shit." I made what I hoped was a polite noise. What […]
Today, I’m talking with Lila Snyder, who is the CEO of Bose. You certainly know Bose — it’s one of the most famous brands in all of consumer tech. The company started 60 years ago selling speakers to consumers, and its focus on research and development has led it to be a leader in both […]

An AI interview is increasingly the first step of a hiring process. Since there’s no human on the other end, candidates are scheduling them whenever—even deep into the night.
Most businesses don't buy disconnected systems on purpose. They arrive one tool at a time. You start with a spreadsheet. You add a CRM because the spreadsheet stopped scaling. Accounting software because the taxman insisted. A shipping portal because you started sending parcels. Each choice was sensible on its own day. Then one morning you look up and realize that none of these tools talk to each other — and the thing holding them together is a person. Someone reads a number off one screen and types it into another. That person is your integration. And that's a cost you're paying every day without ever seeing it on an invoice. The Cost You Don't Get Billed For Here's the trap. The cost of a disconnected system doesn't show up anywhere you look. It's not a subscription. It's not a line item. It's hidden inside a job title. Someone on your team spends the first hour of every day taking yesterday's orders and copying them, one at a time, from the checkout into the accounting system, then into the CRM, then into the shipping portal. It feels like work, because it is. Nobody questions it, because it's always been done that way. But watch what actually happens as you grow. At ten orders a day, that copying is an hour. At thirty, it's most of a morning. At sixty, it's a full-time role whose entire purpose is retyping data that already exists somewhere else. You never made a decision to create that role. It grew on its own, one order at a time, and now it sets a limit: you can only take as many orders as one person can hand-transcribe before they burn out or start making mistakes. That's the real shape of the cost. It isn't the minutes. It's the ceiling. When a human is your integration, your growth is capped at the throughput of that human — and you'll experience the cap not as a cost, but as a vague sense that "we can't handle more right now." Where the Errors Live The second cost is quieter and more expensive: the mistakes. Anything a person copies by hand between two sy
