What happens when a 7-figure exited founder looks at the future and realises… agencies, consultants, and even traditional jobs are all being eaten by AI?

In this episode of The 3AM Show, I sit down with Tom, founder of L3NS.ai and former founder of A&T Sound, a go-to-market company that helped global brands shape their sonic identities.

After 5+ years running an AI/AR marketing agency in London, scaling over 200+ brands and generating more than $54M in revenue, Tom saw something most people are still sleeping on:
AI isn’t just another tool. It’s a new workforce.

We dive deep into:

• 🧠 AI unemployment & the changing workforce
  How AI is already replacing roles in marketing, agencies, and beyond – and what that means for students, grads, and mid-career professionals.
• 🤖 The rise of AI agents
  Why Tom believes the future looks like 1 human + 10 AI agents running entire growth systems.
• 🚀 The mission behind L3NS.ai
  How L3NS.ai is being built as an “all-in-one product marketeer” to become the distribution engine for creators, solopreneurs, laid-off workers, and young founders.
• 💸 The broken traditional path
  University debt, a collapsing job market, and why the old “degree → job → ladder” model is falling apart.
• 🧩 The new founder archetype
  Why no-code tools + agents are creating a new wave of AI-first founders who don’t follow the traditional path.
• 📈 Economics of AI growth
  10x–100x cost reduction versus agencies, 24/7 optimisation, and why AI-driven distribution will define the next market winners.
• 🔮 Future vision
  A world where one person can run an entire company from their phone, with agents handling execution and humans focusing on creativity and judgment.

This episode is for:
⚡ Students wondering what career to pursue in an AI world
⚡ Creators, freelancers & solopreneurs trying to scale without a big team
⚡ Laid-off workers thinking: “What do I do now?”
⚡ Anyone curious about how AI agents will reshape business and work

Listen in, take notes, and maybe rethink what “work” will mean in the next 5 years.
