Synopsis

Currently, 99% of businesses are caught in a "gravity well" of linear growth while a "1,000-foot AI Tsunami" approaches, creating a terminal gap known as the "AI Disparity."

Entrepreneurs are drowning in the "mundane 80%"—repetitive tasks that drain up to 80% of their workday—while global industry leaders like Elon Musk warn that the window for adaptation is closing.

Research indicates that 2026 will serve as an economic "event horizon"; by this point, the exponential gap between AI-enhanced companies and conventional ones will be unbridgeable, turning inaction into a terminal liability.

Drawing on lessons from a career of starting 30 companies and managing over 500 clients, Jonathan Foltz outlines a new operating system for business. This book guides readers through the '4 Levels of AI Mastery,' teaching them how to deploy an 'Army of AI Soldiers,' use 'Vibe Coding' to build software at the speed of thought, and achieve 'Agentic Sovereignty'—a state where your business runs autonomously while you reclaim your time and freedom.

Sales arguments

• The Unbridgeable Gap: In the next 12 to 18 months, the "AI Disparity" will reach a point of no return; while a 20% efficiency gain yields an extra day of work per week, a 50% gain propelled by AI leads to a staggering 120x (12,000%) increase in output compared to conventional growth.
• The 1,000-Foot Tsunami: Industry leaders like Elon Musk have warned of an impending "AI Tsunami" for which most businesses are unprepared, evidenced by the fact that 41% of all code on GitHub is already AI-generated, signaling a total regime change in how value is created.
• The "Mundane 80%" Liability: The average entrepreneur spends up to 80% of their workday on repetitive, low-value tasks; Exponential Velocity provides the tactical framework to automate these functions, reclaiming up to 500% more time for high-level visionary work.
• The Blue Ocean of 2026: By 2026, the "wrapper era" and agentic workflows will allow solo founders to build $100,000 applications in minutes, a capability that previously required months of development and six-figure budgets.
• Jonathan is founder of The Collective AI: A high-growth business community and education platform (@the.collective.ai) with an active and vetted membership of over 120 entrepreneurs and Visionaries at the core of the AI movement.
