Inside an AI-Native Company | Michael Grinich, WorkOS

WorkOS quietly powers the auth and enterprise layer under OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and a long list of companies building the AI era. So when its founder decides his entire company should learn to code, it's worth asking why. Michael Grinich joins Shane and Abhi to talk about what "AI-native" actually looks like from the inside — the in-house coding agent his team built instead of buying, the all-day internal hackathons, and the operating principle he now hires for: everybody codes. He shares how AI is reshaping go-to-market and not just engineering, why he braced for pushback and got the opposite, and the one trait that separates the people who thrive from the people who stall.
