WARNING: This episode might make you uncomfortable about how you're using AI right now.

Mike Todasco (100+ patents at PayPal) dropped a truth bomb keeping me up at night: "People using AI right now are living in the future while everyone else isn't even aware they're falling behind."

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Mike reveals:

  • Why most "AI experts" are wasting hours on the WRONG approach
  • The shocking 20-minute daily habit that separates future millionaires from the soon-to-be-obsolete
  • How his startup FAILURE led to PayPal hiring him (and why European companies are getting this completely wrong)
  • The uncomfortable reality about who will win and lose in the coming AI revolution

If you're still using AI casually or "when you need it," this episode is your wake-up call. The opportunity gap is already forming, and it's widening faster than anyone expected.
