Aaron Levie built Box into a $4 billion company used by 64% of the Fortune 500. Now he says we're at the best moment to build an AI company in 15 years — and the window is 3 years.

In this episode, Marina sits down with Aaron to talk about what's actually happening inside enterprise AI, why younger founders have a surprising advantage right now, and which jobs are genuinely at risk vs. which ones AI will make more valuable.

Aaron shares why AI agents still need humans at the beginning and end of every process, why the real new constraint isn't code — it's sales and marketing, and what he'd do if he were 19 and starting over in 2026.

If you're building, thinking about building, or trying to figure out your next career move in an AI world — this one is for you.
