Show Notes

The German phrase “Wasch mich, aber mach mich nicht nass”—wash me, but don’t get me wet—perfectly captures the self-defeating mindset plaguing creators, entrepreneurs, and entire industries facing AI disruption. They want progress without discomfort, growth without change, income without ownership.

This isn’t a tech conversation. It’s a mirror.

André Daus cuts through the noise to expose why so many people are fighting the wrong battle. From taxi drivers to content creators, the pattern repeats: blame the tool, ignore the fragility of your own foundation. But some thrive while others panic—what separates them?

Through sharp analysis and real client stories, this episode dismantles the myth that AI “steals” value and reveals what actually creates it. You’ll discover why traffic was never currency, why most business models were built on borrowed ground, and how the smartest operators are using disruption as their competitive advantage.

The uncomfortable truth: If AI can replace what you do, you weren’t providing real value anyway. The liberating truth: This moment separates the essential from the expendable—and gives you the chance to prove which one you are.

Stop yelling at the storm. Learn to sail.

For leaders ready to build antifragile businesses beyond platform dependency and borrowed reach.
