In this episode, I sit down with Michael Giardino, founder of Oleve—a company on a mission to build the Seal Team Six of consumer startups. With $6M in ARR just months after launch, Michael breaks down how they’ve moved so fast, why lean execution still wins in the AI era, and what it takes to build a top-tier operator culture. We dive into scaling without bloat, how AI actually fits into real-world company building, and what he looks for when assembling elite teams.
