How a 19-year-old intern built the growth engine behind this $2B AI company | Hector Serrano

You have been doing this insanely incredible job growing Whisperflow over the past couple years. You joined Whisperflow at nineteen. I looked up creator jobs on LinkedIn. Applied to like two hundred positions. I found some company called Whisperflow. I applied, had a call with Tana, and then I joined. I've never worked in a startup. And I told Tane, like I was like, I want equity in Whisper. And Tane laughed and was like, I like you, man. There's all this talk about no jobs left for young folks. AI is taking everyone's jobs. Young people are actually much better at this work. A thirty, forty year old founder doesn't understand what an eighteen year old kid who's in these Discord chats scrolling every day on Instagram and TikTok. They don't understand what's actually working and the best ways to approach these new channels. I think it's a no brainer to have someone like that on your team. He actually had this tweet the other day, the best marketers are allergic to AI. If we go out and start making AI slot ads, it's probably not gonna be received. Really well. There's so much noise. If you actually focus more on the quality and less on the quantity, it gets so easy to cut through the noise. Let's talk about paid BGC. You are getting influencers, creators to create a pitch basically for Whisper. You keep it really open for them to experiment, do whatever they see fit. They're not capped. at their earnings. We have creators now that are making like thirteen thousand dollars a month. The hardest role to hire for right now is someone like you. I think if you just think that looking for someone with the best grades or the best school is gonna get you the best hire, you're in for a rude awakening.
