Most companies are scrambling to figure out AI. Wistia did the hard part first — a total culture reset that made a 188-person company operate with the efficiency of a 30-person startup. Then AI poured gasoline on it.
Chris Savage co-founded Wistia nearly 20 years ago, grew it to serve hundreds of thousands of businesses, and took on $17 million in debt to buy out investors and stay independent. He joins Wade Foster to unpack what it actually takes to rewire a company’s operating system — and why doubling headcount didn’t make them ship any faster.
One mandate changed everything: ship value to customers every two weeks. Features that had been sitting on six-month roadmaps launched in two weeks. Wistia went from 12 major product updates a year to over 100 — same team size. Chris explains why the bottleneck in software is shifting to taste, how Wistia’s new agentic video editor Remix is turning 45-minute sales calls into 3-minute shareable highlights, and what the “ChatGPT moment for video” means for trust in the workplace.
Plus: Wade and Chris riff on Block’s AI-driven layoffs.
