What happens when an expat leverages AI to win an employment dispute against a tech unicorn, transitions into entrepreneurship, and builds an AI automation firm from the ground up?
In our latest podcast episode, I sit down with Rizwan, co-founder of the AI automation firm Soch (“to think”), to discuss navigating tech shifts, life in Estonia, and the realities of the modern workforce.
💡 Key Highlights & Takeaways
- Leveraging AI for Advocacy: Rizwan shares how he successfully navigated an employment dispute using AI tools to articulate his case cleanly and effectively.
- The Reality of Tech Workforce Shifts: Why administrative and execution-heavy roles are being automated—and why the real demand lies in AI implementation and strategic thinking.

- Life, Business & Defense in Estonia: From digital-first infrastructure and quiet winters to national defense strategies and rapid AI adoption in schools, we explore what makes Estonia a unique launchpad for innovation.
