Building a $4M Empire When AI Was "Killing" The Industry | Priyanshu Soni | Rachit Magon

New episode just dropped and this one hits different.

I sat down with Priyanshu Soni, founder of Agylex Global and Director at Springs. Three years ago, when ChatGPT launched, everyone was writing obituaries for the recruitment industry.

LinkedIn was flooded with "AI will replace all recruiters" posts. Every expert had the same prediction: the industry is done.
Priyanshu did something crazy. He went all in.

Today, he runs a $4M bootstrapped empire serving the Australian federal government across three countries. And he's proving something that most people completely miss about AI disruption.

Here's what we talked about:

The real difference between what AI can do and what only humans can do. Why low-level job automation is actually an opportunity, not a threat.

How to build an AI-proof career by focusing on what machines can't replace.

The mindset shift from "Will AI take my job?" to "How can I use AI to level up?"
But the conversation that stuck with me most was about driving versus being driven.

Priyanshu said something that completely reframed how I think about automation: "Don't let AI drive you. You drive the AI. You sit on the driving seat."

That's the difference between people who survive AI disruption and people who thrive through it. One group is reactive, scared, stuck. The other group is proactive, curious, and building empires while everyone else is panicking.
We also dove into his journey from corporate life at Deloitte and Capgemini to building his own company.

How he landed government contracts. What it takes to scale across multiple countries. And his framework for making big career decisions when the future is uncertain.

This isn't just about recruitment. It's about any industry facing transformation. Which, let's be honest, is pretty much every industry right now.

If you're wondering how to future-proof your career, if you're scared about automation, or if you're just tired of the doom and gloom around AI, watch this episode.

Let me know in the comments what resonates most with you.
