What does it really take to build a company that lasts for 15 years? And where is AI actually going beyond chatbots and search?

In this episode of The Rundown with Ramon, I sit down with Eddie Kim, cofounder of Gusto, to talk about the lessons he has learned from building the company, why mission matters, what changes as you scale, and why cofounder relationships need the same kind of investment as any long-term partnership.

We also go deep on Gusto Cofounder and the future of AI for small business. Eddie explains what he calls the “blank canvas problem” with many AI tools and why the real opportunity is not just asking AI questions, but having AI actually get work done.

We talk about:

• How Gusto started and the problem Eddie personally wanted to solve

• Why passion and mission matter in entrepreneurship

• The difference between using AI as a search tool and using it to execute real business processes

• How AI can handle the “work before the work”

• Why the future of software may mean less clicking and more delegation

• What founders need to learn as their companies grow

• Why hiring and delegation become critical at scale

• How Eddie, Josh Reeves, and Tomer London have maintained their cofounder relationship for 15 years

• Why entrepreneurship may become an even bigger part of the future of work

If you’re a business owner, founder, entrepreneur, or simply trying to understand where AI is taking the way we work, this conversation gives you plenty to think about.
