Olga Popova: Money with Robots' Hands Why UBI Is Already a Downgrade and What She Built Instead

What if the future of earning isn't waiting for governments to send checks—but building AI infrastructure that works while you sleep?Olga Popova—founder of SpacAd, author of 27 Minutes to the Future, and creator of Treasury—joins us for a conversation about AI that earns, solopreneur scale without a giant payroll, and why government income pilots look small next to tools that already exist.Olga Popova spent years watching governments sell the dream of "money for everyone" through pilots, dashboards, and waiting lists—and the numbers never matched the promise. So she stopped debating the theory and built infrastructure. Today, she runs a media holding with two humans and a fleet of AI robots, serving an audience of more than 205,000 people across 39 countries. Her product door, Treasury, is live software where nineteen AI networks do the work and people keep the upside.In this episode, Olga Popova shares how she runs a media holding with two humans and a robot fleet without the company collapsing into chaos, what broke in the old referral and work model when AI agents became earners, and what solopreneurs should stop doing if their "AI strategy" is still just hiring faster. She also discusses how her book's thesis became a shipped product, what travels globally versus what must stay local, and what listeners should believe about money and machines.If you're tired of AI as chatbots and want AI that earns—or tired of "hire faster" as a strategy—this conversation with Olga Popova will give you a sharper map of money and machines.In this episode, we explore:· Why UBI is already a downgrade—and what Olga built instead of waiting for governments· How two humans run a media holding with a fleet of AI robots· AI agents as earners, not only assistants—what broke in the old referral model· What solopreneurs should stop doing if their AI strategy is just hiring faster· How 27 Minutes to the Future became a shipped product· Where most founders get AI wrong when scaling content and revenue· What travels globally versus what must stay local across 39 countries· What "Money with robots' hands" means in practice, not as a slogan· Ten minutes a day, nineteen networks—inside Treasury as live infrastructure· What listeners should believe about money and machinesConnect with Olga Popova:· Website: https://spacadagency.com/en· LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ogpopova/· Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olgaspacad/· YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OlgaPopovaRobotspeopleglue· Twitter/X: https://x.com/OlgaPplBotsGlueTry Treasury:Live software where nineteen AI networks do the work and people keep the upsidehttps://treasury.yournewinvestors.com
