What if months of work could be done in a single day?

In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh delivers a blunt, eye-opening reality check on how AI is permanently reshaping work and business. Darius shares how tools like Claude.ai helped him unlock what he estimates as 80x productivity, collapsing months of effort into a single day while building his new private equity firm. From playbooks and investment materials to inbox zero and app creation, the results left him stunned.

He challenges CEOs, founders, knowledge workers, and students to rethink their roles now, making it clear that AI is no longer “tech,” it is operations. The future, he argues, belongs to those who can build workflows, deploy agents, and leverage automation tools like n8n.
