Real AI Workflows for Modern Leaders

The conversation.

Jim Boswell and Veer Hossain introduce Functional Executives with a short example of what they have been building. Jim, a CFO without formal software development training, describes an application he assembled with AI assistance. Veer reflects on the work that would have gone into a similar project using a traditional development team.

The trailer sets out the show's focus: the workflows they're trying in business and in their own lives, what they're learning and how they keep up as the tools change.

01You, Jim, a CFO, built an entire application, software application, front end, middleware, back end, database. Took you four hours one evening, maybe a little bit more into the next day, and then you showed it to me, and I've been real honest with you. Two years ago, I would have sat down a business analyst and a developer. It's 160 hours worth of work. And you did it without formal training. It's like you're the guy who took that limitless pill and just like locked in. Yes, and to be a little bit braggy, it's also multi-tenant. So if I wanted to, I could sell the thing. And I'm Jim, and we're the hosts of Functional Executives. Everyone, I'm Veer. And you guys have heard, go implement Copilot, go implement Claude because it's a great coding tool. And we're here to talk a little bit more about the practical applications of this thing that everybody keeps saying is wonderful and life-changing, but actually talking through how do we really use it in a corporate environment, driving value. And then we'll also talk about how we're driving value personally.

02Yeah, and we're going to share our exact workflows for how we are keeping up with the pace of change without losing our minds. If you want to stop paying for hype and start building real leverage in your business and driving real value, hit subscribe on Apple podcasts or Spotify.
