#52 – Daniel Borg & Alison Michalk

AI agents are changing how businesses operate.

Daniel Vassilev has raised $42 million to scale his company, Relevance AI, which is already helping some of the world’s largest private companies automate entire teams.

I sat down with Daniel to unpack what this shift actually means for businesses and for the workforce, and the practical advice on how people can use AI agents to grow their business.

In this conversation we discuss:

• How AI agents could eliminate up to 50% of go-to-market tasks by 2026

• Why businesses will soon recruit AI agents the same way they recruit employees

• The four levels of AI autonomy every business will experience

• Real examples of companies automating BDR and customer success teams

• Why software engineering is the first proof that AI will transform knowledge work

• How to identify which business processes to automate first

• The change management strategy that actually works

In this episode, I speak with Kate Cooper, OKX Australia CEO and systems change leader with more than 25 years’ experience driving technology-led transformation across government, global enterprise, banking and digital assets.

We unpack what it takes to lead in a fast-moving digital world, from balancing inner clarity with external impact, to communicating effectively through change, understanding the productivity potential of digital finance, navigating regulatory uncertainty, and managing large-scale transformation when systems and culture are shifting at the same time.

Noah Hunter Dorsey is the founder of Future Fulfilment and a 29 year old entrepreneur selected in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2025, working with major brands including Vegemite, the AFL, and many more.

This is a playbook for building multi-million dollar companies before 30.

We cover the move from university to entrepreneurship, backing yourself through fear, and why communication and sales are non negotiable skills. Noah breaks down how he learned by doing, identified high income skills, and prioritised execution over theory.

We also talk leadership, culture, and scale. How to build strong teams, stay connected as the business grows, and deal with setbacks without losing momentum.
