The Leverage Stack

Code and media gave individuals permissionless leverage. AI agents add a third layer. Stack them deliberately and one person can wield what once took a company.

AI automation isn't about replacing humans — it's about deleting rote work so you reinvest that time into the irreplaceable: judgment, taste, and relationship.
