Episode notes

AI that sells, reasons, and closes like your top rep? It sounds terrifying - but it’s not. Amanda Kahlow’s Superhumans are proving that automation doesn’t erase people; it elevates them. Her team rewards employees who replace their own jobswith AI by promoting them, not firing them. And her customers? They’re seeing sales cycles shrink from 22 days to 2 and average deal sizes double. In this episode, Zapier CEO Wade Foster and Amanda dig into what “AI-led growth” really means - and why the smartest move in 2025 isn’t resisting AI, it’s learning how to lead with it. They unpack why 76% of 1Mind’s pipeline now comes from their own AI, and how org charts are evolving around a new role: the agent manager. It’s a grounded, surprisingly human look at the future of work - and a reminder that the best way to stay relevant is to build the AI version of your best self. As Amanda puts it: “Your sellers hallucinate - AIs do it less.”
