Search ArticlesYour AI workflow is too easy to break đ
The real test of an AI setup comes when the tool suddenly disappears. Thatâs when you find out whether youâve built a useful way of working or just got very good at using one model. If the prompts, context and checks only make sense inside that tool, changing models means rebuilding far more than it should. Raghav Mehra is a tech consultant and AI practitioner based in Spain, who writes the Cash & Cache newsletter.
The wrong hire said all the right things 🎭
The easiest candidate to hire can be the most dangerous one. A bad hire hurts at any level. Put the wrong person near important decisions and the damage can spread before the probation period has even caught up. The trap is that a polished interview can make the risk harder to see. Clean answers, neat stories and the right values can feel like proof, when they may only show that someone prepared well. Daryna Karuna writes The Leverage Point, a field guide to hiring and senior decision risk.
Build the business beyond you đ§±
At the start, it works because you do. Thereâs comfort in being the person who knows. People come to you because you have the answer, and you usually do. Thatâs useful early, until the business starts needing you for too much. Then you have more people, customers and moving parts. Your memory and willingness to step in are still holding too much together. Gary Das had to admit this in his own business. âI realised that I was the problem. I was the bottleneck.
AI slop starts inside the business 🧹
AI has made it much easier to create a mess that looks productive. Every new tool adds another thing someone has to check and clean up. Neha Kabra writes The Humanizing and works with banks, fintechs and private equity-backed businesses on making AI work inside complex organisations. Her piece is about the gap between a good demo and the business strain that follows. The next discipline is deciding what deserves trust and what should be cut. 👇🏻 More tools will not fix the work underneath.
The co-founder prenup đ Agree before building
You can spend hours discussing the product, the company name and how youâll launch. The harder questions get left until later. Who has the final say when you disagree? What happens if one person works harder, the business canât pay you or you want different exits? When the company has no value and both of you are excited, those conversations can feel unnecessary. You trust each other and assume youâll work out the difficult parts later.
The bank balance warns you too late đ
Youâve made sure enough money came in this month. Maybe even a little more than expected. Then a tax bill arrives, or a client who always paid on time suddenly doesnât. The money still has to come from somewhere. You take out credit, delay something else or, as Iâve done before, reach into your own savings to cover the gap. The bigger the business, the more money you have to find. Getting caught once is painful. When it happens again, you can end up frighteningly close to the edge.
The video isn’t your real problem 🎬 Dustin Schultz
Spending more on a video won’t make your business easier to understand. That is the mistake Dustin Schultz sees all the time. You decide you need a better video, then jump straight into production before the message is clear enough to carry it. Dustin has spent 15 years building Union, a creative agency that helps businesses turn ideas into video that actually has a job to do. His view is useful because he’s not precious about production for its own sake.
The cringe tax is costing your business đ
I spent 15 years in news, running the show from behind the camera and the keyboard. My name sat on the masthead with the editor title, although plenty of the work carried no byline. I was used to making the calls without making myself the story. Millennial Masters asked something different of me. I had to put my face on camera and publish ideas and experiences Iâd previously kept private. Iâm not shy and I donât lack confidence.
Your raise can make the business worse 💸
Raising a serious round feels like the moment the business becomes real. That feeling is dangerous once the money lands and problems are easier to ignore. I’ve learned the hard way that funding doesn’t mean the business will survive. That’s why I invited Ben Botes | GP & 4x Founder to write this guest post. He’s a four-time founder and investor who also writes the ScaleSignals newsletter. His argument is uncomfortable: the money can hide the problems that still need fixing.
The new one-person company đ§âđ»
The tiny company is no longer a joke. A few years ago, the idea of building a proper company with one, two, or three people still sounded far-fetched. It usually came wrapped in internet bro nonsense. Work from anywhere, automate everything, run a tiny empire from your laptop in Thailand while the tools do the hard bit in the background. That version still sounds unlikely. The useful version is harder to ignore now.
