This week we talk about tech bubbles, building moats, and infrastructure investment.We also discuss capital expenditure, data centers, and employee compensation.Recommended Book: The Art of Gathering by Priya ParkerTranscriptMany technology booms have early periods in which innovators have a first-mover advantage, and a lot of what happens in their industry is informed by the decisions those innovators make.After that—depending on the technology, but this is common enough to be considered a trend—after that there tends to be a period of build-out and consolidation amongst the people and business entities that survived that initial, innovation-focused throw-down.In the context of personal computers, this moment saw computer-makers like Microsoft and Apple scramble to pivot from figuring out what an operating system should look like and whether or not to use mice to navigate user interfaces, to a period in which they were rushing to scale-up the manufacture of now-essential, but previously comparably rare components: suitable screens for their monitors, chips that could power their increasingly graphical machines, and the magnetic materials necessary to produce floppy disks and spindle-based hard drives.There's an initial period in which new ideas and approaches provide these entities with a moat that protects them against competition, in other words, but then the game they're playing changes, the rules are more fully understood and to some degree locked into place and agreed upon, and instead of competing for the biggest, most brazen new ideas, they lock onto one set of ideas that seemed to be the best of what's available at that moment and build on those, iterating them at a regular cadence, but focusing especially on scaling them.So at this second stage, they're investing in the ability to out-produce their competition in some way, so they can eventually bypass that competition and (they hope) safely increase their prices and make a profit, as opposed to just larger and larger revenues with equal or greater expenses, continuing to be reliant on investor injections of capital, rather than generating their own surplus returns.By many analysts' and insiders' estimates, we've just entered that second stage in the generative AI industry. That's the sort of AI that generates text and images and code and such, and it's increasingly becoming a sort of commodity, rather than a new, hot things that few companies can offer the market.What I'd like to talk about today are the increasingly massive financial figures associated with this industry's shift to that second stage of development, and why some of those insiders and analysts are voicing fresh concerns that this could all lead to a bubble, and possibly an historically large one.—There are many ways we could measure the growth of the AI industry over the years.The US market size, for instance, which is a measure of the value of AI-oriented companies based on how much shares of their company cost or would cost on the open market, has ballooned from just over $100 billion in 2022 to an estimated $174 billion in 2025. That figure is expected to grow at a not quite 20% compound annual growth rate through 2034, which, if accurate, would put this market, in the US alone, at more than $850 billion.Another metric we might use is that of capital expenditure, or capex, in this corner of the tech industry, which refers to the amount of money AI companies are using to buy, upgrade, or maintain their long-term assets, like new computer chips or the data centers they fill with those chips.The seven most valuable US tech companies—Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA, and Broadcom (that last spot formerly held by Tesla, which was dropped from this designation in late-2024)—just those seven companies have spent $102.5 billion on capex this last financial quarter (and most of that was from just four of them, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon, the remainder only spending something like $6.7 billion).That's a staggering amount of money, and due to a recent drop in consumer demand—the money individual US citizens spend on things like food and clothes and smartphones and cars and all the other things people buy—AI-related capex, spending by these massive US tech companies, has added more to GDP growth than consumer spending for the past two quarters.All the things all the people in the US bought over the past two quarters did not cost as much, in aggregate, as what these companies spent during the same period, on new and existing assets. That's pretty wild.And it's the consequence, partly, of the shift in these companies' focus from providing goods and services that relied heavily on people—salary and stock compensation, basically, which is not a capex expense, because its spent on employees, not stuff—to spending heavily on all that infrastructure that they believe will be required to help them compete with those other companies that are also frantically investing in the same.Whomever can built the biggest, baddest, most reliable and powerful data centers, and can get the AI-optimized chips to fill them, will have an advantage over their opponents in the new, developing tech world paradigm, it's thought, so they're pumping gobs of resources into exactly those sorts of assets, hoping to get ahead, build an insurmountable advantage, and put their competition out of business—or failing that, to establish themselves as the AI Coca-Cola, versus their opposition's AI Mr. Pip.Similar dynamics are playing out elsewhere, especially in China, where the market could reach a value approximating today's US AI market in 3-5 years, and several times that, up to $1.4 trillion, by 2030—though like all of these figures, it depends on how we choose to measure these sorts of things, including what counts as an AI company, and in China, several of their major AI players are heavily involved in automation, robotics, which itself is expected to be a $5 trillion industry in that country by 2050.Europe's market is comparably smaller, as is its overall tech industry, but the AI market is now just shy of 15% of its total tech sector, up from 12% in 2022, and AI startups are attracting about a quarter of all VC funding in the bloc right now—so they're starting from a less spendy start, but like pretty much everywhere the necessary knowledge and manufacturing base exists at the moment, the European AI market is growing a lot faster than anyone would have expected even just five years ago.And there are real-deal innovations coming out of this tech; these investments are flooding into AI companies because these technologies, this version of them, the generative AI stuff, has completely rewired the programming world, AI bots and agents helping coders achieve a lot more, faster, and non-coders make things they wouldn't have been able to build lacking these tools, imperfect as many of those tools are, under the hood.We're also seeing an explosion of other sorts of generated content, and the injection of these tools that make such content into Hollywood studios and consulting firms and government agencies, and everything in between, is causing equal parts panic and excitement, depending on whether you're one of the people who feels like they might be laid off soon, replaced by software, or if you're someone who profits from all those layoffs, and the payments from the companies that hope to save money by conducting them, replacing their comparably expensive employees with cheaper AI tools.Things have gotten so wild that Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started offering compensation packages ranging from $200 million to more than a billion dollars to top AI talent. Meta's AI spending is already massive, and could hit $72 billion this year, but the company has said it could hit $100 billion in 2026, while Microsoft's leadership suggested their 2025 spending of $30 billion could balloon to $120 billion in 2026.OpenAI recently offered their employees large bonuses, in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars range, to counter those sorts of overtures from the likes of Meta, but there's a lot of money flying around from all direction right now, much of it aimed at more AI infrastructure, or the relatively few people on the planet who understand this tech well enough to make a competitive difference in this industry.That's…a lot of money. There's just so much spending happening, so many resources sloshing around in this one space right now, and all this investment is predicated on the idea that AI will change everything, we're stepping into a new paradigm, and those who control the AI, will basically own the next game. So they're all trying to set things up so they win the next game, or at least have the best hand possible when it arrives.There have been increasingly loud arguments, made by long-time generative AI critics, but also, more recently, ardent AI boosters, that we might be running up against a wall of what these things can do for us; this version of the AI concept, at least.And these arguments got louder with OpenAI's release of their long-teased GPT-5 model, which some expected to be true AGI, human-grade, flexible, omni-capable intelligence, while others thought it might be a mono-focused superintelligence of some kind: the perfect coder, the perfect image generator, something like that.What users got was not that. It seems to be better at some things, still not great at others.This was an incredibly expensive model to produce—the training costs alone are estimated to be something like a half-billion dollars, and that's just a portion of the total costs of creating this sort of model—and what OpenAI served up, instead of something groundbreaking, was a slightly better, though in some ways seemingly the same or worse version of what everyone's been playing with for years, now.There's room for disagreement on this, as while there are some more objective tests for measuring models' capabilities, a lot of it is circumstantial, and depends, among other things, on what you're trying to do, how the systems are prompted, and so on.There's also something to be said for cost-reductions and other sorts of benefits of new models, beyond raw power and capability.But this thud of a launch for what was supposed to be a sea-changing system has led to the ringing of some alarm bells, industry watchers wondering if we might be careening toward a bubble, at a moment in which, again, this segment of the tech industry is contributing more to the US's GDP than all of consumer spending, combined.A bubble, to be clear, wouldn't mean the collapse of the US economy, or even these companies, necessarily. It would mean a lot of AI entities going under, a lot of invested money lost, and a lot of people who suddenly don't have jobs.Almost always there are a few players in these bubbly spaces that make it to the other side, though—eBay, for instance, survived the dotcom bubble intact, as did Amazon, PayPal, and Adobe, among many others.But the grand shakeout, the sifting for those that could survive a mammoth downturn, and the destruction of the rest, that's a tough moment for those directly connected to the bubble-popping industry, and those adjacent to it: the folks who feed the employees who are now laid off, the suppliers of the light switches that go in all the data centers, etc.There are ripple effects to this sort of bubble pop moment, then, and though such sifting might be long-term beneficial, because it maybe weeds out some of the dead-weight and makes things more efficient in that space five or ten years in the future, that won't help the folks who lose a lot of money when the industry shrinks, including those who have their money at banks that made bad bets, or insurance companies that did the same, with their customers resources.Everything's great for everyone when these sorts of high-risk, high-reward bets are paying out, but when the golden goose of huge anticipated future profits disappears, that shakeout leaves a lot of entities and people with emptier pockets.None of which suggests this is going to happen; there's a chance that we continue to see better and better models using the current, generative AI technology, or that some of these companies successfully pivot to another AI approach that bears better, next-step fruit, and things just keep getting more and more powerful and less and less expensive for everyone; that could theoretically lead to some pretty cool, broadly beneficial things.This sort of risk is lurking in the background of everything that's happening, though, and while upbeat marketing messages and predictions about how cool it will all be when the next-step tools arrive can keep things going for a while, even lacking major milestones that can be pointed at to justify those claims, at some point we'll probably need to see something really, truly different and novel, or the bottom could fall out, leaving those who were more careful tip-toeing into this collection of technologies looking less like they're being left behind, and more like they took smart precautions and made safe, reliable investments.Show Noteshttps://www.precedenceresearch.com/us-artificial-intelligence-markethttps://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/united-stateshttps://techcrunch.com/2024/12/23/ai-startups-attracted-25-of-europes-vc-funding/https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://paulkedrosky.com/honey-ai-capex-ate-the-economy/https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/silicon-valley-ai-infrastructure-capex-cffe0431https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://archive.is/20250808224658/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-07/tesla-disbands-dojo-supercomputer-team-in-blow-to-ai-efforthttps://fortune.com/2025/08/04/billionaire-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-staffers-poaching-meta-mark-zuckerberg-100k-six-figure-salaries-openai-sam-altman/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e02vx55wpohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/business/dealbook/meta-microsoft-ai-spending-shares.htmlhttps://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-meta-billion-dollars-ai-poaching-failed/ This is a public episode.

Zach Hanson was thriving in the world of AI and big tech...until the layoffs came. Two mortgages, a family to support, and no job in sight, he did what few with a white-collar background ever dare: he turned to trapping to survive. In this raw and timely conversation, Zach reveals how losing the comfort of corporate life reconnected him to skills that most of society has forgotten, skills that may be our only hedge in an uncertain future.Travis and Zach explore what it means to be truly self-reliant in a world increasingly propped up by fragile systems.

Terry Rice, a former Facebook executive turned keynote speaker and performance coach, shares his powerful transformation story from corporate alcoholic to successful entrepreneur after losing everything. He reveals his R3 framework (Reclaim, Realign, Rebuild) for personal and business transformation while emphasizing the importance of authentic personal branding over perfectionism. Terry demonstrates how being vulnerable about his struggles - including addiction, job loss, and family tragedies - has actually opened doors to bigger opportunities, including speaking at Google and having a documentary made about his life. Key Takeaways Character branding beats personal branding - Show your real self, including failures and struggles, rather than a polished façade that people can't relate to Own your flaws as fuel - Use your mistakes, challenges, and pain as branding material rather than trying to hide them - it creates deeper connections with your audience Authenticity opens unexpected doors - Being vulnerable about personal struggles can lead to major opportunities, as Terry's experience shows from one LinkedIn comment to a documentary deal Identity-first transformation works - Get crystal clear on who you are and what you represent before focusing on tactics, systems, or external business elements About Terry Rice Terry Rice is a keynote speaker, performance coach, and author who helps professionals align who they are with where they're going—then act accordingly. Known for his bold, story-driven approach, Terry teaches leaders how to live and tell better stories that build trust, drive impact, and unlock exponential growth. Whether on stage or in a coaching session, he blends lived experience with actionable strategies to help high performers shed limiting identities, ignite their vision, and build rituals that deliver lasting results. Before launching his coaching and speaking business, Terry held consulting roles at Meta and Adobe—giving him a firsthand view into high-performance business environments. His insights have been featured by Good Morning America, Fast Company, and The Wall Street Journal, and he's spoken for top organizations including Amazon, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway. Terry also teaches entrepreneurship at General Assembly and contributes regularly to Entrepreneur.com.

Why would I want to work with you? Because that's me hanging out with you on purpose, right?" - Terry Rice "The more you can own your edge and use that as fuel, use that as branding, the faster you'll grow and you'll remove some of that guilt, that regret, that shame that you might have as well." - Terry Rice "There's two types of pain, right? There's the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The challenge is the pain of discipline weighs ounces, whereas regret weighs tons." - Terry Rice "I don't care about your editing tools. I don't care if you're using Adobe. I want to know about your soul. Because if our souls are aligned with a message that I want to spread, then cool, we're good." - Terry Rice "We can't go back and create a new beginning, but we can start from now and create a new ending." - Terry Rice Guest Links Find Terry Rice online Follow Terry Rice on Instagram | Threads| Twitter | YouTube Connect with Terry Rice on LinkedIn Check out more resources from Terry Rice Links FREE Workshop Available "How to Consistently Earn Over $100k Per Year in Video Production While Working Less Than 40 Hours Per Week" Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

Marley talks about the A.I. contradiction analysts raised with the company and what it means for its outlook.

What does it really mean to “get it right” when it comes to culture and brand experience?This week, I'm joined by Aaliyah Taylor, a seasoned experiential marketer and Senior Community Events Manager at Adobe, for a bold conversation about authenticity, representation, and building unforgettable brand moments.From running her own event space to curating massive, culture-forward activations at Adobe, Aaliyah shares how she navigates the tension between corporate expectations and cultural truth.

Figma 上市首日暴漲超過 250%，市值一口氣飆上 680 億美金，成為 SaaS 有史以來最猛的 IPO 之一。但這家公司差點兩年前就被 Adobe 以 200 億收購，還因為反壟斷調查破局，拿到一筆高達 10 億的分手費。沒被收購的 Figma，反而靠產品驅動爆發成長，年營收來到 9 億、年增率 46%，而且超過三分之二的使用者根本不是設計師！這集我們就來聊聊：

It's podcast episode 275 and we saved it for the amazing Kyle T. Webster!  If you have used Photoshop within the last five years, you know Kyle by his digital brushes that he created for Adobe.  He has an interesting story of being the forerunner of creating digital brushes, creating relationships with major studios, being an early entrepreneur on Gumroad, and his more recent decision to leave Adobe to join Procreate!  Get "brushed up" on Kyle in this episode! 

On Figma's first day trading on the NYSE, its stock soared over 250%, closing at $115.50 and giving the design software company a market cap near $68 billion. That's more than triple the $20 billion Adobe offered before regulators killed that deal in 2023. Silicon Valley is celebrating. The IPO raised $1.2 billion, mostly benefiting early investors like Sequoia, Greylock, Index Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins, whose combined stakes are now worth about $24 billion. It's a huge win for Silicon Valley VCs after a prolonged IPO drought that began in 2022.Featured Guests: Ben Narasin, founder and general partner, Tenacity VC | Jaya Gupta, partner, Foundation Capital

Matt and John explore the remarkable jump in Figma's stock value, its previous $20 billion offer from Adobe, and how this signals a new era for the tech IPO market.The Surge of AI-Powered IPOs and Investment Opportunities (05:02)From Figma to potential IPOs from high-growth AI companies, the episode shifts focus to the flood of upcoming tech public offerings.

Bret Taylor's legendary career includes being CTO of Meta, co-CEO of Salesforce, chairman of the board at OpenAI (yes, during that drama), co-creating both Google Maps and the Like button, and founding three companies. Today he's the founder and CEO of Sierra, an AI agent company transforming customer service. He's one of the few people I've met who's been wildly successful at every level—from engineer to C-suite executive to founder—and across almost every discipline, including PM, engineer, CTO, COO, CPO, CEO, and board member.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. The brutal product review that nearly ended his Google career—and how that failure led to creating Google Maps2. The question Sheryl Sandberg taught him to ask every morning (“What's the most impactful thing I can do today?”) that transformed how he approached every role3. The three AI market segments that matter4. Why AI agents will replace SaaS products5. His framework for knowing whose advice to actually listen to—and how that came in handy during the OpenAI board drama6. The counterintuitive go-to-market strategy most AI startups get wrong7. Sierra's outcome-based pricing model that's transforming how enterprise software is sold (and why every SaaS company should adopt it)8. What he's teaching his kids about AI that every parent should know—Brought to you by:CodeRabbit—Cut code review time and bugs in half.

Agility requires that brands have a fundamental understanding of why they're doing things, and what customer expectations are, rather than chasing trends and implementing the latest tech. Without this, customer satisfaction will continue to slide, and brands won't be any closer to knowing what to do to solve for that. I am here in Edinburgh with my guest today, who has worked with some of the world's largest brands, written several books, and hosts a great podcast of his own. To talk about a few things today, I'd like to welcome Adrian Swinscoe, Host of the Punk CX Podcast.
