Gabe Arnold

And today's guest learned that lesson the hard way.

We've got Gabe Arnold in the hot seat.

He is a CEO of Simple Operations.

He said, I think you could be number one in the country.

You know, I remember telling my dad that, and I went home that night and I was like, dad, you know, like Gabe, Gabe Arnold, like who's number one winner, number one in the country.

Just like looked at me and told me, he's like, he believes me.

I can be number one in the country.

AI probab- probably will not replace every job, but it may expose every business whose decision, processes, and accountability still live inside one person's head.
