In most 10 to 100 person companies, a surprising share of it pays for repetitive work: copying data between tools, chasing follow-ups, redoing the same report every week. Spread across a team, that is easily six figures a year.<\/p>\n<p>This free hour covers which operational tasks AI agents handle reliably today, which ones still need a person, and how to run the payroll math for your own company.<\/p>\n<p>Taught by Jordan Calderon, a 4x bootstrapped founder with three exits. His previous agency drove $175M+ in client revenue.<\/p>\n<p>You will leave with a way to spot the repetitive work hiding in your own payroll, real examples of agent builds that worked and ones that did not, and live answers to the tasks people bring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who this is NOT for<\/strong>: solo founders and pre-team startups. If nobody on your team is doing repetitive admin work yet, the math will not apply to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday September 1, 2026, 1:00 to 2:00 PM Eastern (10:00 to 11:00 AM Pacific).
