In this episode, Greg explores the possibility of creating a billion-dollar solopreneur company, inspired by Sam Altman's prediction. He discusses the shift from traditional company-building to an AI-first approach, where a founder manages AI agents to automate tasks. Greg shares his personal experience with ideabrowser.com as an example of building an audience and community before product development, and emphasizes the importance of code, audience, and capital leverage. He also identifies five megatrends making this possible: services becoming software, instant distribution, building on existing platforms, trust in small brands, and high-precision ad platforms. Greg suggests starting as a freelancer, productizing services, and gradually incorporating AI agents, while also cautioning against over-automation and the need for a human touch. He concludes that while a one-person billion-dollar company is technically possible with the right conditions and timing, it remains extremely rare but increasingly feasible as AI improves.
