In this episode, Mark Michael, founder of DevHub, breaks down what it really looks like to scale a non–AI-native company in the age of AI agents.

DevHub powers thousands of franchise and multi-location websites, and instead of chasing hype, Mark explains how his team is using AI where it actually works from internal knowledge agents and developer copilots to agent-driven website updates across hundreds or thousands of locations.

We dive into:
- How DevHub manages 300–3000 websites with minimal human overhead
- Why AI agents are quietly replacing entire workflows (not just roles)
- The reality of AI in hiring, SDRs, project management, and engineering
- Why small teams under 100 people are in the strongest position right now
- How internal AI knowledge bases are eliminating meetings and bottlenecks
- Why brand, not product, may be the only thing AI can’t replace
- The uncomfortable truth about what AI is doing to humanity inside companies

Mark also shares hard-earned lessons from 18+ years of building DevHub, including pivots, buying the company back from investors, expanding into Latin America, and why he believes we’re living through the real “Roaring 20s” of tech right now.

Nonprofits are uniquely positioned to benefit from AI — yet most are still struggling to adopt it.

In this episode, Remy Reya, Director of AI and Thought Leadership at Compass Pro Bono, breaks down how nonprofits are actually using AI today, what’s holding them back, and why AI adoption in mission-driven organizations looks very different from the for-profit world.

Remy shares how Compass Pro Bono rolled out enterprise AI tools internally and helped their team save 10–12 hours per week, not by hiring expensive AI engineers, but by thoughtfully integrating large language models into existing workflows like grant writing, social media, thought leadership, program design, and internal operations.

We dive deep into:

• Why nonprofits are paradoxically perfect candidates for AI — yet slow to adopt
• How AI can reduce burnout instead of accelerating the “impact treadmill”
• The real risks of AI in social impact, including bias, data ethics, and human displacement
• What responsible, human-first AI adoption actually looks like
• Why AI literacy and change management matter more than technical skill
• How leaders should think about the time AI gives back — and what to do with it

This is a must-watch conversation for nonprofit leaders, AI builders, social impact founders, and anyone curious about how AI can scale impact without sacrificing mission, trust, or humanity.
