Focusing on what Matters: Outcome-Mindset and Agents Working While You Sleep | THE EXTRA MILE #9
The Extra Mile Podcast Episode 9 is out now! This time it's the two of us, Tilman and Puria. We're going deep on the stuff we're actually building right now. A real Sunday conversation about agentic teams, designing a life around outcomes, and why 2026 already feels like a parallel universe.Puria brought a full deep dive on building his own AI coworkers with OpenClaw and Tilman shared the principles of outcome-based life creation he's been refining for years. Somewhere in between, Puria tells the story of getting into Steven Bartlett's surprise Frankfurt dinner with less than 24 hours' notice.Here's what we get into:1/ Puria's agentic team: Charles (his chief of staff) and Andy (his CTO), with Jamie for R&D joining next. Real products shipping, real work getting done, human still in the loop.2/ Why Puria gave them avatars: Charles is a suit-wearing Harvey Specter type, Andy is the Apple-Watch-and-white-shirt CTO. (His wife's idea.)3/ The full technical build: OpenClaw on a Mac mini, Codex auth reuse, the Google plugin for Gmail + Calendar, dedicated Google accounts per agent using the delegation pattern, Telegram bots via BotFather, and the one mistake to avoid when adding a second agent.4/ The detail that changes everything: set /think to medium or high. Low thinking = underwhelming agents.5/ Why being open about using AI is the only honest move in 2026 and why Puria is introducing Charles and Andy to the world publicly.6/ Tilman's framework: the 7 principles of outcome-based life creation (power of language, the wheel of life, results focus, mapping, leverage, chunking, and a clear life plan) plus daily priming, the 17-minute exercise that levels up his entire day.7/ Purpose-driven vs. tactical and data-driven. Tilman's answer: "purpose is something we can create."8/ Puria's Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO host) dinner story: an Instagram ad on Friday, confirmed Saturday morning, AI-selected Italian restaurant, people flying in from Lithuania, Sweden and London just for the night. And the restaurant founder who built his whole web presence with Codex without writing a line of code.9/ Tilman's take on the Codex release: an Apple Watch app for Lumina OS built in iterations, agents running on a heartbeat, the in-Codex browser, background computer use, memory, and a discounted-cashflow skill that goes from "do this for Apple" to a PDF, a deck, a Word doc and a drafted email.10/ The bigger picture: the capability gap is closing fast, and educating people is the real mission.A few lines that stayed with us:"When you feel gratitude, you are rich. No matter what the circumstances are.""2026 is a parallel universe."On Steven Bartlett: he doesn't think about his fame, because he has a mission.Big shoutout again to Felipe from Episode 8 he kept his promise and posted his book list. Going the extra mile, as always.This podcast is about going the extra mile, in business, in health, in learning, in life.
