Intro

In this episode of Mostly Growth, the number one podcast in product monetization, Kyle and CJ explore one of the most important questions in the AI era: what decisions should we actually delegate to machines? From agents spending money with corporate cards to handling customer support, hiring, and even sales, they break down where automation makes sense—and where it gets uncomfortable. Plus, how leadership changes when your job shifts from making decisions to setting the rules.
