If AI can write, code, and think cheaper than you — what's left? Your edge isn't intelligence anymore. It's taste, focus, and emotional depth.

You'll learn:

Why taste is your only moat in a world of infinite AI output

How emotion and vulnerability are what machines can't replicate

Why the 80/20 rule is now 99/1 — and where to focus

Why imperfection is the new differentiator

How the best founders used judgment, not effort, to win

The winners won't be the hardest workers. They'll be the ones who protect their attention and refuse to let a machine do their thinking.
