SuperSmall Presents: A Shift AI Live Podcast at K&L Gates — The Future of Work: Agents, and the Rise of the Operator
Join us at K&L Gates for a live recording of the Shift AI Podcast featuring Google’s LaSean Smith, exploring how AI agents are reshaping the way we work, build, and create value.
This is a small, curated event for founders, operators, and leaders inside companies of all sizes thinking seriously about what comes next.
As AI takes on more execution, the role of the human is shifting. The edge is moving toward those who can orchestrate systems, make decisions, and build leverage in entirely new ways.
We’ll go deep on:
What agent-driven workflows actually look like today (beyond the hype)
How individuals are using AI to build and operate independently
Where traditional roles begin to break—and what replaces them
What it means to be an “operator” in an AI-native world
This is not a tactical workshop. It’s a candid, operator-level conversation designed for people thinking seriously about how AI will change the way they work.
Light catering and bar service provided.
Limited seats.
Featuring LaSean Smith
LaSean Smith has spent his career operating at the highest levels inside companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft—but what makes him especially interesting is what he’s doing outside of them. While leading product teams at scale, he’s been quietly building and investing in small businesses, experimenting with automation, and exploring how AI agents can create leverage for individuals. This isn’t a theoretical conversation—LaShawn is actively testing what it looks like to build, operate, and generate value in an AI-native world. Expect a candid look at what’s real, what’s not, and where this is all heading.
Hosted by Shift AI
Shift AI is a podcast and platform exploring how AI is changing the way people work, build, and create value. Through conversations with operators and leaders, it focuses on what’s actually changing inside companies and for individuals—cutting through the hype to examine how AI is being applied, where it’s creating real leverage, and what it means for the future of work.
Presented by SuperSmall
SuperSmall is a curated community of founders and operators exploring how to build and scale using AI. Members work hands-on with automation, agents, and new business models—sharing what’s working, pressure-testing ideas, and learning directly from each other. It’s part founder training, part experimentation lab, all inside a tight-knit community of people actively building.
A small group of SuperSmall members will join a private roundtable with LaSean prior to the recording.
