Who Actually Wins When Everyone Has AI | Dan Shipper
Fri Jan 09 2026
AI is changing what it means to be good at your job.
Dan Shipper, co-founder and CEO of Every, shares how he went from productivity writer to leading an AI-native company running six apps with a lean team, without being a full-time engineer.
In this episode with Jason Shuman, Dan gets into:
- how shipping work now looks more like directing - systems than writing code
- why managing AI feels like running a company
- how compound systems prevent the same mistakes from happening again
- why allocation is becoming the most important skill heading into 2026
This episode offers a clear look at how founders and operators are adapting as AI reshapes how work gets done.
