In this conversation, Salvador Carranza and Slash Experts founder Braydan Young unpack entrepreneurship, leadership, and the high-agency “doer” mindset—spanning hiring, transparency in culture, parenting while building, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping sales, and startup execution. Braydan traces his founder journey from Coffee Sender (Starbucks e-gifting) to rebranding as Sendoso and scaling to ~700 people and nine-figure ARR, then explains why his new company, Slash Experts, turns “talk to sales” into “talk to a customer” first—accelerating business decisions with real-world proof. They dive into risk assessment, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and practical ways to use AI/deep learning tools without losing the human context. If you’re navigating innovation in any industry, technology, automation, or building a purpose-driven company, this episode is rich with life lessons and success habits you can apply today.Takeaways• Hire adults, not green dots•Autonomy + accountability beats micromanagement• Outcomes over office presence.• Find high-agency “doers”—they identify problems, ship solutions, and attract other doers.• AI won’t erase every job, but it will compress teams: SDRs and middle-management roles must upskill toward technical selling and automation-first workflows.• Build feedback loops across the org; transparency is kindness—and share upside with early teammates.• “Talk to customers first” shortens cycles and strengthens risk assessment for major purchases.• Purposeful culture and boundaries (especially for parents) enable sustainable, focused work.👤 Braydan Young BioBraydan Young is a founder and go-to-market leader best known for co-founding Sendoso (originating from Coffee Sender’s Starbucks e-gift concept) and now founding Slash Experts, a “revenue acceleration” platform that lets prospects book calls with real customers directly from a vendor’s site.
