Ryan Meadows joins Wade Foster and Dan Slagen on Agents of Scale to talk about how his revenue org is being rebuilt from the ground up: no traditional BDR team, AI-assisted outbound, customer feedback shipped in minutes, and creativity as the new hiring signal.

Ryan's point: when your product lets almost anyone build software, you can't run the old playbook. You have to throw away 70-80% of it. AI handles account ID and outreach. Humans handle quality, creativity, deployment, and change management. And pace becomes the only operating metric that matters.

In this episode:

- Why Lovable hasn't hired a traditional BDR team
- The AI BDR workflow: human-in-loop → approval rate → autonomous
- The 80% admin problem that turned Ryan into a Lovable customer
- Hiring for creativity over function
- Feedback to shipped feature in minutes
- Enterprise adoption: governance, permissions, and the "co-founder" framing
- Why executives moving into AI companies need to drop the old playbook
- "Everything is pace" as the operating question
