Invest in You is a global podcast where Fredrik Sandvall shares ideas and conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators. The show explores investing, entrepreneurship, AI, and personal development with a focus on long-term value, ownership, and clear decision-making.
Occasionally joined by his sons, Charlie and Ivan, the podcast blends experience with a next-generation perspective. The goal is simple: help you think better, act with intent, and build a life and portfolio that compound over time.
In this episode, Fredrik sits down with Otto Taton, an Account Executive and Sales Enablement Specialist at Instantly.ai, to discuss the evolving landscape of high-performance living. From the beaches of LA to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Otto shares how he balances a demanding career in the AI sector with a passion for global travel and fitness. The conversation dives deep into the ‘Operator’ mindset, the ability to execute daily tasks with military-like precision, and explores practical strategies for lead generation using LinkedIn and automated cold email.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being an operator means managing your day-to-day activities in business and personal life with a highly structured, timely, and responsible execution.
AI tools like Instantly.ai are revolutionising lead generation by automating cold emails and managing infrastructure, allowing founders to save dozens of hours a week.
You should only automate tasks that you are already doing manually. Automation should solve for mundane, repetitive tasks (like lead scraping) rather than complex processes you haven’t mastered yet.
With over 1.2 billion users but fewer than 9 million consistent posters, there is a massive opportunity to stand out by simply telling your story and using ‘lead magnets’.
While consistency is a popular goal, Otto argues that discipline is more reliable. Discipline ensures that even when you don’t feel consistent, the work still gets done.
BEST MOMENTS
“An operator is someone who just operates their day-to-day activities, business, work, personal, in a very structured and timely manner. They know what they need to do and they get it done.”
“There’s 1.2 billion people on LinkedIn. Less than 9 million post consistently. It’s never been easier to stand out on LinkedIn.”
“I’m getting all these amazing new life experiences, meeting all these beautiful new people, but I’m managing to do it while also progressing my career.”
“Don’t just try and automate something for the sake of automating it. You should only automate tasks that you’re already doing manually that are insanely boring [and] insanely mundane.”
“If you’re thinking of doing something, visualise it and speak it into existence. Even if it’s a tiny step, that’s all we can do as humans.”
