Show Notes
Geoff is the CPO of Ramp and runs one of the most AI-native orgs I’ve seen. He showed me an amazing Claude Code PM skill that his team uses to go from idea to product and shared live demos of Ramp’s internal AI agents for customer research, data analysis, and more. Geoff also shared 5 specific tactics Ramp followed to go from barely anyone using AI to non-engineers shipping production code.
Geoff and I talked about: (00:00) "If you're not using Claude Code, you're probably underperforming" (04:45) Voice of customer agent (demo): 8 days of research in 8 minutes (07:57) Analyst agent (demo): Get insights and pull data using English (13:08) The best Claude Code PM skill I've ever seen (15:20) "50% of Ramp's code is written AI. It'll probably be 80% soon." (16:38) Inspect agent (demo): Building a production feature in 5 min (28:21) The two directions the PM role is splitting into (34:05) Ramp's L0-L3 framework for getting every employee to build with AI (36:36) The AI interview question Ramp asks every PM candidate (39:15) "Management is probably dead...optimize to be the best builder in the world."

Pomp and I worked together at Facebook a decade ago before he became an investor, best-selling author, and public company CEO with an audience of 3.3M. We had a great chat about how to build an extraordinary career and life and how he's building Silvia, an AI CFO for independent investors, to take on the AI labs.
Micky is a full-stack engineer who has taught 100K+ people how to build with AI. In our episode, he walked me through his 4-step agentic engineering workflow to avoid pumping out slop: Isolate every task, build to a clear structure, prove via validation loops, and ship after agents review your PRs or escalate to you for a manual look.
Sam is the co-founder of Granola, the AI meeting notes app now valued at $1.5B. Granola has helped me survive (and even enjoy) countless meetings, so I was excited to learn how Sam uses AI to show up prepared. We also talked about building an AI-native company without the 996 grind and what design means when agents skip your app entirely.

In our interview, he shared six practical ways to use ChatGPT to find wasted spending, save money on taxes, maximize credit card rewards, and model major financial decisions. I’m confident at least one of these use cases will save you money today.
