Ready to thrive in a world of unprecedented change? Each week, RESET brings you conversations that matter with visionaries, innovators, and bold reinventors who are redefining what’s possible in work and life.

Imagine a world where AI doesn't just respond to your commands but proactively handles entire business processes without supervision. That's the promise of agentic AI, and few understand its revolutionary potential better than Jim Recker.
After decades in the tech industry working with giants like WebEx and BlueJeans, Jim has embarked on his most ambitious journey yet – building Invenir, a company leveraging agentic AI to transform how businesses bring products to market. ”I've never been so excited to be involved in technology as I am now,” Jim says with genuine enthusiasm that's impossible to miss.
In our conversation that originally aired on KPCR 92.9FM, the distinction he draws between generative and agentic AI crystalizes what makes this moment so pivotal. While generative AI requires human prompting for each task, agentic AI works autonomously toward objectives. This shift from reactive to proactive technology promises to accelerate business processes dramatically, potentially cutting go-to-market cycles by 60% by Jim's estimates. ”This will be a revolution larger than the industrial revolution in the 1800s,” he declares, predicting business processes will be unrecognizable within 4-5 years.
What's particularly fascinating is how Jim's varied career experiences – from sales engineering to product management to marketing – have converged to inform his vision. Each role provided unique insights into the challenges of bringing products to market efficiently. Even his early stint touring with the Grateful Dead (yes, really!) contributed to his adaptable mindset. His journey demonstrates how accumulated wisdom can spark innovation at any life stage, challenging conventional narratives about entrepreneurship being exclusively for the young.
When asked what signals it's time to move on from a job, Jim's answer is refreshingly simple: ”When I'm not having fun anymore.” This philosophy of pursuing meaningful work that brings joy grounds his approach to business building and serves as a powerful reminder for anyone contemplating their next career move.
