By the time the company had about 200 employees, he says, “the scale of the business and the rate of the growth of the business ... outpaced my rate of learning, or my ability to consult the right people.” But over time, he has worked to fix past errors and earn everyone's trust: “I can be only as good as the rate at which I fix my mistakes,” Filip says.In this episode, Filip and Joubin discuss “the good old days,” first principle thinking, the business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bay Area bubble, going public, Aaron Levie, going down rabbit holes, power dynamics, idea validation, Brian Long, Hans Robertson, DIY entrepreneurship, commercial kitchens, cash efficiency, VR headsets, zeitgeist-y platform shifts, Mark Zuckerberg, and John Doerr.In this episode, we cover:(00:50) - Verkada's office culture (04:37) - The loss of community (10:37) - Not going remote during COVID (16:37) - Palo Alto Networks (22:15) - Does Filip like being CEO?

Guest: Brian Long, former CEO of Attentive and author of Problem Hunting: The Tech Startup TextbookBrian Long's most recent company, Attentive, was originally designed to help clients communicate with their distributed workforce — but about six months in, he and his co-founder realized that that business would not grow as quickly as they had hoped. So, they decided to pivot to SMS marketing, at the cost of a few dubious employees and a well-known Fortune 500 client. The successful pivot confirmed Brian's belief that it's possible to over-commit to one solution, when in fact there may be bigger and better problems to solve. “I've just seen so many entrepreneurs spend years of their life building something being stuck with it,” he says, “and then trying to figure out how to fit it into something that doesn't work.” In this episode, Brian and Joubin discuss zero to one building, the problem with how entrepreneurs solve problems, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Matt Mochary, Tom Mendoza, transactional relationships, the dangers of ego, optimists and realists, best man speeches, defining a unique culture, reverse selling, Lunar Holdings, Peter Reinhardt, marketing conservatively, and business book sales.In this episode, we cover: New York vs LA (00:54) How Brian feels, six months after stepping away from the CEO role (02:37) Product-market fit and TAM modeling (06:07)Build last (09:05) The qualities of great entrepreneurs (13:24) Tap Commerce and starting in sales (15:49) Listening and remembering names (20:40) The day after selling Tap Commerce (23:32) Starting another company, Attentive (25:07) Resilience and optimism (29:21) Fear, doubt, and the worst-case outcome (32:50) What Brian would tell his 29 year old self (37:13) Hiring and pivoting at Attentive (41:17) Text message marketing (45:49) How Brian interviews people (50:12) His new holding company, Lunar and its first startup (51:52) Don't go social (55:21) What Brian is personally excited about and what “grit” means to him (01:01:57) Links: Connect with Brian LinkedIn Buy Brian's book, Problem Hunting: The Tech Startup Textbook Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins This episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Thanks for listening frens :)Notes from the showBrian has been in the Solana ecosystem since very early days. Pre-mainnet days. He and his company, Triton One, helped Solana Labs bring up mainnet in March 2020. Even to this day, Brian and Triton continue to be active contributors to the Solana ecosystem. Not only does Triton operate the public mainnet and devnet RPCs nodes for the public, Linus Kendall from Triton is one of the few active contributors of the DAS API and infrastructure that is vital to compressed NFTs on Solana.Triton has also been hard at work on improving the Solana RPC Geyser interfacewith Project Yellowstone. In this umbrella project, the Triton team is focused on several aspects of the Geyser interface to make many improvements. One of those includes Old Faithful, the effort to put the entire Solana history (200TB+ of data) on the IPFS network. This is especially interesting, not only because Solana produces so much data that grows rapidly every day, but also because it this is being not only theorized by engineers at Triton and Firedancer, but is also a collaboration with Protocol Labs (the creators of IPFS and Filecoin).
