  • The 'Silver Tsunami' is coming. Can we count on AI to save us?

    The 'Silver Tsunami' is coming. Can we count on AI to save us?

    The following conversation was recorded on April 30th as a preview to Philly Tech Week. For more info on Siah Labs and the events of Philly Tech Week, check out the links below.

    Siah Labs co-founders / husband-and-wife team Jordan and Deanna Blackwell are in a crowded space--AI-centered agency serving small business.

    But the Siah framework focuses less on growth and instead talks about things like succession and enjoyment, and the promise that they can help founder-led businesses run without without the founder.


    It is this framework, the Blackwells say, that will help founders prepare for the "Great Wealth Transfer" or "Silver Tsunami"--the predicted economic tumult when Baby-Boomers slowly exit the workforce and their businesses have not been future-proofed.

    Jordan will provide more detail from the stage at Philly Tech Week on May 5th, when he hosts a talk on the Great Wealth Transfer, the role of AI and why cities like Philadelphia will play a big role in what the future holds.

    In this 44-minute conversation, we dig into this topic, as well as the dynamics of working with your spouse, protecting against AI volatility, building trust in technology and more. Check it out!

    This founder left HubSpot. Check out what he built to replace it.
    Apr 15 2026

    Josh Mamroud is the Founder and CEO of Documint, a SaaS document automation platform with a tiered, usage-based growth model.

    Josh recently left HubSpot, which was managing the company's CMS, CRM, Chat and more. This was obviously not an easy decision and one that took a lot of careful planning and experimentation to get right.

    Now, Josh has agreed to share that journey with us, including details on why he left and what he's building to replace one of the most popular marketing platforms in the world.

    Our full conversation is available now, wherever you get your podcasts.
