Amber opens up about leaving a seemingly perfect marriage that lacked true connection, her bold move to Mexico, and the experiences that shaped her latest memoir, Lovable. Her story reminds us that growth often comes through messy, nonlinear choices and facing truths we'd rather avoid. Together, Ash and Amber explore how childhood coping mechanisms and societal pressures shape our relationships and decisions.

In this episode, I sit down with Saket Saurabh (CEO of Nexla) to discuss the fundamental shift happening in the AI landscape. The conversation is moving beyond the race to build the biggest foundational models and towards a new battleground: context. We explore what it means to be a "model company" versus a "context company" and how this changes everything for data strategy and enterprise AI. Join us as we cover:Model vs. Context Companies: The emerging divide between companies building models (like OpenAI) and those whose advantage lies in their unique data and integrations.The Limits of Current Models: Why we might be hitting an asymptote with the current transformer architecture for solving complex, reliable business processes. "Context Engineering": What this term really means, from RAG to stitching together tools, data, and memory to feed AI systems. The Resurgence of Knowledge Graphs: Why graph databases are becoming critical for providing deterministic, reliable information to probabilistic AI models, moving beyond simple vector similarity. AI's Impact on Tooling: How tools like Lovable and Cursor are changing workflows for prototyping and coding, and the risk of creating the "-10x engineer." The Future of Data Engineering: How the field is expanding as AI becomes the primary consumer of data, requiring a new focus on architecture, semantics, and managing complexity at scale.

It's no secret that vibe coding — using AI-powered coding tools to build apps and websites via natural language prompts — is exploding in popularity. In July, Swedish vibe coding startup Lovable hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue just eight months after launch, plans to close the year at $250 million ARR and thinks it will hit $1 billion ARR within the next 12 months. Meanwhile, Replit said earlier this month that its ARR soared from $2.8 million to $150 million in less than a year. Also, job seekers in all fields can expect to soon be doing a lot more initial screening interviews. While that may sound like positive news, it doesn't mean that there will suddenly be more open positions. Instead, recruiters, often bogged down with determining which applicants are qualified for the next round, will outsource the routine screening tasks — like checking backgrounds, salary needs, and availability — to (you guessed it) AI.

In this inspiring episode, I speak with bestselling author Amber Rae about her new book Lovable. While it may sound like a story about forbidden love, the deeper message is about what it really means to choose yourself - even when society, family, or the people closest to you may not understand or support your choice. So many women I work with struggle under the weight of shoulds - the expectations of being the “good girl,” following the rules, and living a life that looks perfect on the outside but feels deeply misaligned on the inside. When we abandon ourselves this way, anxiety often becomes the voice we've silenced. This conversation with Amber is a reminder that reclaiming your authentic self is worth every step, no matter how hard or scary it may feel. We cover: ✅ Amber's story of leaving a sexless marriage that looked “perfect” on the outside ✅ How Amber broke free from the “good girl” role and chose her true self ✅ How anxiety and fear show up during big life transitions – and how Amber navigated them ✅ The power of sharing vulnerably, facing backlash, and ultimately living without regrets Where to find Amber Rae:

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1156: Ford's Jim Farley warns America about jobs and trades in the AI era. Subaru reveals its first dealership redesign in nearly two decades. And the once-hyped “vibe coding” boom may already be running out of steam.Ford CEO Jim Farley says America's economy is at a crossroads. As AI threatens to eliminate millions of office jobs, he warns the U.S. is overlooking the “essential economy” of trades and manufacturing that keep the country running.Farley predicts up to 50% of white-collar jobs could vanish within a decade due to AI.Entry-level positions like clerical work and coding are especially at risk, shrinking career pathways for young professionals.By contrast, blue-collar fields face massive shortages—600,000 factory workers and nearly 500,000 construction workers are already needed.Farley highlights Germany's strong apprenticeship programs, saying the U.S. overemphasis on four-year degrees leaves trade careers underfunded and undervalued.“There's more than one way to the American Dream,” Farley said.Subaru is rolling out a new dealership design for the first time since 2007. Called the Connection Hub, the redesign mixes nature themes with high-tech touches, aiming to give customers an immersive brand experience.Exterior upgrades include a “grand, park-like pavilion” with star-shaped columns and a central walkway leading to inventory.Inside, “lifestyle vehicle vignettes” display cars in real-world scenarios, complete with accessories and digital storytelling.Outdoor areas will double as lounges, play spaces, or even dog parks to tie into Subaru's community-focused image.Dealers have voiced mixed reactions—90 retailers have said they're in, while others worry about costs amid slowing sales and rising interest rates.“This is more than a design update — it transforms our retailers' facilities into welcoming hubs,” said Subaru retail VP Tim Stallings.The vibe coding craze might be losing momentum. Barclays analysts say traffic to AI-powered app and site builders—once hyped as the future of no-code—has slumped hard after peaking earlier this year.Lovable, which hit $100M ARR in June, has seen visits fall 40%, Vercel's v0 plunged 64% and Bolt.new dropped 27%.Analysts warn many of these gains came from month-to-month subscribers, making revenue growth less durable than it looked during the hype cycle.Heavy “inference whale” users earlier strained business models, forcing startups to raise prices, which may have accelerated the slowdown.“The churn rate for everyone is really high,” said Bolt.new CEO Eric Simons. “You have to build a retentive business.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:37 The History of The Jacket Paul is Wearing Today2:01 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with Uber for Business2:30 Jim Farley On AI's WJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of Generation AI, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu break down A16Z's fifth annual Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Applications report, revealing how the AI app ecosystem has shifted from experimentation to consolidation. They discuss Google's aggressive entry with four separate products in the rankings, including Gemini's rapid rise to second place behind ChatGPT. The conversation explores how consumer AI has moved beyond novelty to become essential productivity tools, with specialized apps dominating specific use cases like image generation (Midjourney), voice (11 Labs), and the emerging category of agentic coding platforms like Lovable and Replit. The hosts also examine the global dynamics of AI adoption, including the significant presence of Chinese-developed apps and what these consumer trends mean for higher education professionals and their students.Opening and Mediterranean Reflections (00:00:00)Ardis returns from his brother's wedding in TuscanyDiscussion about taking time away from technology and workThe value of slowing down and gaining new perspectives on AI trendsThe A16Z Top 100 Report Overview (00:08:49)Fifth edition of Andreessen Horowitz's annual consumer AI apps reportBased on monthly active users on mobile and web trafficDifference between unique web visitors vs active users explainedFocus on consumer adoption patterns rather than enterprise AIMarket Stabilization and All-Stars (00:11:54)Only 11 new names on web list vs 17 last yearMarket maturity signals with winners consolidating positionsChatGPT reaches 700-800 million weekly active users14 brands consistently dominating across categoriesGoogle's Aggressive Multi-Product Strategy (00:17:00)Gemini takes second place with 12% of ChatGPT's web visitsIntroduction of Nano Banana image editing modelFour Google products separately ranked in top 100Strategic unbundling approach to compete across categoriesThe Rise of Agentic Coding (00:25:47)Evolution from "vibe coding" to "agentic coding"Lovable reaches #22, Replit maintains strong positionIntegration with Supabase for backend developmentReal work being done on these platforms, not just experimentationRegional Dynamics and Chinese Apps (00:29:19)22 out of 50 mobile apps are Chinese-developedDiscussion of China vs rest of world classificationChinese apps being exported globallyAI as a global technology play across regionsYear-Over-Year Changes (00:32:12)Deep Seek's rise and fall (down 40% from peak)Shift from novelty (2024) to utility (2025)Apple's crackdown on ChatGPT copycatsMobile list showing more innovation and newcomersVideo Generation Maturity (00:36:15)Google's VO3 dominates over SoraConsolidation in video generation spaceWorld models like Genie 3 emergingVideo becoming integrated into general assistantsImplications for Higher Education (00:38:01)Students already using multiple consumer AI toolsPattern of utility across companions, creativity, productivityNeed for educators to understand student tool usageRecommendation to explore top apps to understand student behaviorClosing Thoughts (00:41:20)Consumer AI adoption as mirror of society's AI integrationFocus shifting from smartest models to most useful appsEncouragement to test unfamiliar apps from the listPreview of fall conference season and upcoming AI announcements - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Ezinne and Oji Udezue have over 50 years of combined product leadership experience at Microsoft, Twitter, Atlassian, WP Engine, Typeform, and Calendly. They've witnessed every major shift in product management, and, despite their seniority, they're taking beginner AI courses and learning from engineers half their age, and Oji is coding more now than in the past decade—from Waterfall to Agile to AI. They are also the authors of Building Rocketships, a guide to building great products. In this conversation, the couple shares hard-won lessons they've learned from companies successfully adapting to AI, including their “shipyard” framework and their “sharp problem” methodology.What you'll learn:1. The “shipyard” framework: why the best AI teams embrace controlled chaos2. Why Oji writes more code now than in the past 10 years—despite being a PM for more than 25 years3. The three skills that matter most for PMs in 2025: curiosity, humility, and agency4. How to identify “sharp problems”5. AI at the core vs. AI at the edge: why companies that are building entirely new AI-centric codebases will beat those just “sprinkling AI” on existing products6. The counterintuitive truth: engineers are moving so fast with AI that PMs are now the bottleneck7.

Wie können Händler und Hersteller im E-Commerce wirklich erfolgreich sein, während neue Plattformen wie Joybuy von JD.com in Deutschland starten? In dieser Folge setzen Florian und ich die Diskussion über Agentic Commerce fort und beleuchten die neuesten Entwicklungen. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf die Herausforderungen, vor denen Unternehmen stehen, und diskutieren, warum Plattformen wie Joybuy nur wenigen Unternehmen nachhaltigen Erfolg ermöglichen. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Chancen und Grenzen neuer Geschäftsmodelle in einem Markt, der von Zalando & Co. geprägt ist, sowie über die Schwierigkeiten für Investoren und Anwender, profitable Akteure zu identifizieren. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Einsatz von KI nicht nur ein optionales Feature ist, sondern zunehmend zu einem entscheidenden Faktor für Marktrelevanz wird. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf die Dynamik zwischen großen Marktplätzen und spezialisierten Händlern: Wie verändern Plattformen wie Amazon, Google oder JD.com das Spielfeld, welche Rolle spielen Datenhoheit und Customer Insights, und wie reagieren Konsumenten auf personalisierte Angebote im Vergleich zu klassischen Produkt-Listings? Wir diskutieren, warum selbst etablierte Systeme wie ERP- und CRM-Plattformen vor neuen Herausforderungen stehen, wenn KI und datengetriebene Automatisierung die Erwartungen der Nutzer verändern, und warum diese Entwicklungen sowohl Chancen als auch Risiken für alle Beteiligten bergen.

Howie Liu is the co-founder and CEO of Airtable, the no-code platform valued at around $12 billion. After a viral tweet declared “Airtable is dead” based on incorrect data, Howie led a radical transformation: reorganizing the entire company around AI, becoming an “IC CEO” who codes daily, and achieving over $100 million in free cash flow.What you'll learn:1. The “fast thinking” vs. “slow thinking” team structure that lets Airtable ship AI features weekly (inspired by Daniel Kahneman)2. Why Howie uses AI hourly (not daily) and is Airtable's #1 inference-cost user globally3. Why CEOs must become ICs again in the AI era (and how to restructure your calendar to make it possible)4. Why “playing” with AI tools should be mandatory—Howie tells employees to cancel all meetings for a week to experiment5. The specific skills product managers, engineers, and designers need to develop to succeed in the AI era6.

Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

(We apologize for the low audio quality, but the video contains such valuable content that we decided to keep it.) What if you could build an entire business, from idea to working software, with just ONE AI prompt? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I personally use artificial intelligence to create full business prototypes, marketing kits, and even backend systems without writing a single line of code. Whether you're a coach, mentor, or service provider, this episode will completely shift the way you think about building a business in today's AI-powered world. I'll walk you through some of my favorite AI tools like Lovable.dev, Replit, Cursor, and Bolt.new, and show you how anyone (yes, even you) can turn a simple idea into something real, fast. We're not just talking theory here - I actually show you how to prompt AI to: Build front-end dashboards Create marketing assets Develop full landing pages Design social media content that drives attention I also dive into the biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs make: waiting for everything to be perfect before launching. That mindset is killing your momentum. This episode will challenge your excuses, stir your creativity, and show you how to take action, even if you don't feel “ready.”

Episode 393 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Daniel Demetri, Founder & CEO of Trellis. Through the advancements of technology like cloud computing and AI, you no longer need to have a huge team to support a company that is hitting major levels of revenue. And, it's not just the ones you read about like Lovable, Cursor, Wiz, etc., as there are other companies that are able to achieve impressive feats with a relatively lean team. Trellis falls under this category. Conserving cash is an obvious benefit, but as Daniel explains, another advantage is speed. It removes the layers of an organization which in return allows employees to process information and make decisions faster. Trellis is an insurtech start-up with a mission to simplify and automate shopping for home and auto insurance by powering intelligent insurance experiences using machine learning, real-time bidding, and conversational AI, backed by a team of nationally licensed insurance advisors. The company is funded by top investors, including QED, General Catalyst, Nyca, and Amex Ventures. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * Daniel's background, including being a webmaster pre-college and some stories of the inner workings of Harvard. * His progression as a Product Manager at Google (including his interviews with Marisa Mayer) and how he got involved in startups. * Co-Founding a company that disrupted the title insurance industry called Doma which eventually went public and is now private, plus how this experience prepped him to be a CEO. * What led him down the path of starting Trellis and how the company is applying modern technology to the traditional model of insurance sales. * Lots of details about Trellis in terms of the team structure, hiring plans, and what's next for the company. * His thoughts on what makes a great product manager. * And so much more!
