Elena Verna is the head of growth at Lovable, the leading AI-powered app builder that hit $200 million in annual recurring revenue in under a year with just 100 employees. In this record fourth appearance on the podcast, Elena shares how the traditional growth playbook has been completely rewritten for AI companies. She explains why Lovable focuses on innovation over optimization, how they've shifted from activation to building new features, and why giving away their product for free has become their most powerful growth strategy.We discuss:1. Why 60% to 70% of traditional growth tactics no longer apply in AI2. Why you have to re-find product-market fit every 3 months3. The specific growth tactics driving Lovable's unprecedented growth4. Why giving away product is a growth strategy that beats paid ads5. “Minimum lovable product” as the new standard (not minimum viable product)6. Why activation now belongs to product teams, not growth teams7.

In the aftermath of the Bondi Beach anti-Jewish massacre, we examine the single dumbest assumption in all of politics; the DOJ announces the foiling of a massive New Year's Eve terror plot; and President Trump issues an egregiously ugly statement about Rob Reiner after Reiner's murder.

Michael Pachter focuses on the video game industry, noting that there's “not much left to consolidate.” He thinks Ubisoft is a “mess” and might be taken out and Take-Two (TTWO) is the “big profit center.” He explains how console gaming and mobile gaming are two different kinds of businesses, which is why there hasn't been a lot of crossover success, he argues. On Roblox (RBLX), he calls it "the dumbest idea ever” to invest in data centers. However, its genius is that it is a platform instead of a game, he adds, which A.I. will “make easier.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Trump seizes a Venezuelan ghost tanker, Democrats defend drug dealers, and gas hits $2 in some states. In the first half of the episode, I explain why Trump needs to rally in 2025, how Chuck Schumer can't dodge Obamacare ownership, and why Ted Lieu's "distraction" theory falls apart against Biden's own 1989 drug war speeches.

In the second segment of Episode 1114 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards reflects on how the internet age has created "the dumbest generation of humans," where people used to specialize deeply in one subject—priding himself on "knowing a guy" who was an expert in specific areas like a particular trade or topic—but now everyone knows just a little about everything, enabling quasi-intelligent conversations on dozens of subjects without true depth, often sounding like idiots (himself included). He notes his own specialties in black culture in Jackson, Mississippi, wrestling, NASCAR, and testosterone, while piecing together superficial knowledge elsewhere. Transitioning to conservative media infiltration by "LGBTQ cuck beta males," Edwards discusses discovering allegations about Benny Johnson potentially being gay, based on old BuzzFeed articles he wrote, such as "Let's Be Honest Straight Guys, We All Like Butt Stuff" and "Which President Looks Sexiest in a Swimsuit?"—arguing no straight man would pen such pieces or work for BuzzFeed, and expressing disdain for closeted figures pretending to embody traditional family values while quoting the Bible.

A viral tweet calling entrepreneurship "just a lottery" hit my feed last week, and I had to respond. The author claimed successful entrepreneurs are lucky players who pretend their success was skill, and thousands of people ate it up. In this episode, I share my original reaction, but more importantly, I break down a powerful story from Alex Hormozi's $100 Million Leads about "The Many-Sided Die" that reframes the entire conversation. Yes, luck exists—some people roll green faster than others. But the real insight is this: you win by continuing to play. Every roll improves your odds, builds your skills, and gets you closer to success. The only guaranteed way to lose is to quit and blame your failure on everyone else getting lucky.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Grant Lee is the co-founder of Gamma, the AI-powered presentation tool that's one of the hottest and most interesting AI startups in the world right now. They're valued at over $2 billion, and they hit $100 million ARR in just over two years, with a lean team of just around 30 people. Unlike many fast-growing AI startups, Gamma has been profitable for most of its history, has not raised significant funding, and they built a massive business in a category most investors dismissed. In fact, one investor told Grant his idea was “the dumbest idea he had ever heard.”We discuss:• How Gamma found product-market fit by rethinking their onboarding• Their process for building a “word-of-mouth machine”• How they leveraged more than 1,000 micro-influencers instead of big names• Why focusing on the “first 30 seconds” transformed their business• Their approach to pricing that led to profitability within months• How Grant thinks about building a durable “GPT wrapper” business—Brought to you by:Vanta—Automate compliance.
