Three internal AI memos leaked from Shopify, Duolingo, and Fiverr—and they weren’t written for headlines. They were written as wake-up calls to their own teams. The message?

AI isn’t coming. It’s already deciding who survives.

In this episode, Vendoroo's Chief Evangelist, Pablo Gonzalez, breaks down each memo—what they said, how the tone escalates from policy shift to existential threat, and why they all point to one unavoidable truth:

What used to be impossible is now the new hard. And what’s merely hard? It’s already being automated.

He dives deep into :

- what each CEO is thinking & how they plan to react
- what you can take from each CEO's strategy & communication style
- how he's adapting his own behavior to this new reality

🎧 Listen now for a raw, honest breakdown of the biggest shift since the cloud and why the PMs who act now will be tomorrow’s category kings.
