Jake Castillo(@jakecastilloooo):Before Cal AI, I would’ve driven 20 minutes across town to let someone “pick my brain” for a free lunch. Now I do the math. One hour of my time is worth $1,000 in consulting. Unless that lunch costs more than $1,000, I’m losing money Free lunch is only free when your time is worth nothing.
