Why You Can't Put Your Phone Down (And How to Actually Fix It) | Lazy Leverage #116


Listen Later

Jon and Peter break down the two-step system Jon uses to put the phone down on weekends: uninstall the apps and route notifications through an AI agent so you never touch the dopamine loop directly. Also: Sagan's first in-person AI event in San Diego, and the 7 rules Jon and his team are using to actually make money with AI (as opposed to McKinsey slides and info-seller grift). If you can't leave your phone in the other room, this one's for you.
