    The Future of Work with Andy Oliva: AI, Agents, and Human Creativity

    In this episode, we’re joined by Andy Oliva, founder of Lucky Day Labs and an OpenAI Forum leader, for an in-depth conversation on the future of work and what it really takes to build and adopt AI in the real world. Andy shares his unconventional path from big-box retail and “street-smart” product intuition to building AI solutions for founders and operators who know they need to move fast but don’t want to get trapped by vendor lock-in. We dig into the practical tradeoffs of buy vs. build, why context engineering is becoming more important than prompt engineering, and how multi-agent workflows (and multi-model stacks) are changing how software gets shipped. We also explore what AI means for the workforce: how leaders can build an AI-first culture without fear-driven adoption, why redeploying talent beats replacing it, and how creativity may become more accessible than ever. If you’re building AI products, scaling a team, or trying to keep up with the pace of change, this one is for you.
