Podcasts about Microsoft

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), the data and AI platform behind everything from battlefield targeting systems to Airbus's A350 production line, with customers including the U.S. Army, the NHS, Ferrari, and Airbus. Palantir is growing revenue at over 90%, with net dollar retention at 157% and adjusted operating margins above 60% — a Rule of 40 score of 155%, roughly double what the best software companies in the world achieve. It also trades at around 60 times sales, which is why The Economist called it possibly the most overvalued firm of all time. Daniel and Shawn discuss whether the ontology layer is a sustainable moat now that Microsoft and Google have launched competing products, what Alex Karp and Peter Thiel's politics mean for a company selling to Western governments, and why twenty years of losses turned into the fastest-accelerating software business on the market. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether PLTR deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:29) How Palantir's Ontology actually works (00:16:26) How AI turned around Palantir's business (00:20:59) Why Palantir has the best margins in the industry (00:34:22) Why no one seems to be able to copy Palantir's Ontology (00:38:01) How Palantir grows its customer base (01:07:36) Palantir's valuation discussion (01:11:37) How much Palantir stock is actually worth (01:12:52) Whether PLTR will be added to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Patrick Clancy testified about the last normal afternoon of his life, the photos his kids texted him, the check-in before he left the house, and how none of it looked like anything except an ordinary day. Weeks before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta had raised bipolar disorder with the couple directly, and Patrick answered her in five words. Every expert on both sides of this trial has since weighed in on whether that diagnosis fits, because the entire case turns on the difference between psychosis and something else entirely. Patrick was never a suspect and never charged. He testified for the prosecution across two days, moved to Manhattan four months after burying his children, and took a sales job at Microsoft. He filed for divorce in February 2024, was already in a relationship with Dr. Rachel Danis that same month, and married her this April in Central Park, three years and three months after the day his children died. Lindsay's own attorney called what happened to him one of the worst tragedies anyone could suffer. Online, self-described profilers with no real credentials have built entire theories out of that timeline, and Andrea Yates' husband Rusty knows exactly what that feels like from twenty-five years of surviving it himself. He reached out to Patrick during this trial, and his new wife has received death threats over accusations Patrick's attorneys call defamatory. Both sides of the courtroom agree on one thing: Patrick did nothing but come home to a catastrophe he never saw coming. Tony Brueski walks through what the record actually shows about the man at the center of every online theory, and what it doesn't. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Public records place Patrick Clancy in Manhattan by May 2023, four months after burying his children, with a new sales job at Microsoft and, according to reporting, solo trips through Latin America and Europe not long after. To some corners of the internet, that timeline reads like guilt. To Lindsay's own defense attorney, who told the jury in opening that Patrick suffered one of the worst tragedies imaginable, it reads like a man trying to survive. The actual testimony sits between those two extremes. Weeks before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta raised bipolar disorder with the couple directly, and Patrick responded in five words that have since been picked apart online by commenters, some of whom present themselves as former FBI profilers with no record of ever working there. He filed for divorce in February 2024, was already involved with Dr. Rachel Danis that month, and married her in Central Park this April, three years and three months after the day his children died. He was never a suspect. He was never charged. He testified for the prosecution across two days. Andrea Yates' husband Rusty, who lost five children the same way in 2001, reached out to Patrick during the trial with a message built from twenty-five years of living through the same public scrutiny, only louder now that social media exists to fuel it. Patrick's new wife has already received death threats tied to accusations his attorneys call defamatory, aimed at a man both sides of the courtroom agree did nothing but come home to catastrophe he never saw coming. Tony Brueski separates what the timeline actually proves from what the comment section has decided it means. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dan Nathan sits down with Imran Khan, CIO and founder of Proem Asset Management, to break down one of the wildest weeks in tech earnings. They dig into Nvidia's latest quarter and why the stock keeps trading well below the market multiple despite the growth — and make the bull case for why that's about to change. From there: the increasingly circular web of financing between Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, and CoreWeave, why OpenAI is building a chip to compete with its own biggest investor, and what Imran learned on a recent trip to South Korea about the memory market (Micron, SK Hynix, and the trade that's already up huge). They also unpack Salesforce's surprise post-earnings pop after Marc Benioff and Anthropic's Dario Amodei sat down with Jim Cramer, and close out with the question everyone's asking: are we in an AI bubble, and if so, who's left holding the bag?

Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

Dave Goyal, Founder and CEO of Think AI Corporation, is driven to Turn Disabilities into Unique Abilities by using technology to empower disabled entrepreneurs and help businesses unlock the value of their data. After contracting polio as an infant, Dave transformed physical limitations and early adversity into a passion for solving business problems, building companies, and giving back to society. Through Think AI, he helps manufacturing and healthcare leaders use data and AI to generate real-time insights, improve productivity, reduce costs, and create new opportunities for growth. In this conversation, Dave introduces The 3G AI Augmentation Framework—Gap: Where are we losing time, quality, ability, or capacity? Grow: Apply AI to augment people and improve that work. Glow: Institutionalize the solution so humans and AI collaborate effectively. Dave also shares how his private second brain and AI executive agents save him up to 80 hours per month, why human control and security must remain central to AI adoption, and how authority, trust, people, customers, and culture drive business growth. He also discusses his book, Real-Time Business Intelligence Mastery, and his vision for creating a venture studio for disabled entrepreneurs. — Turn Disabilities into Unique Abilities with Dave Goyal  Good day. Steve Preda here with The Management Blueprint. And today my guest is Dave Goyal, the founder and CEO of Think AI Corporation, which helps CTOs and CIOs in manufacturing and healthcare turn siloed data into real-time insights and automation, creating reduced downtime, increased efficiency, and going from weeks to days in project launches. Dave, welcome to the show.  Thank you for having me, Steve.  Well, I’m really curious to learn about you and your company, Think AI Corporation, but first I’d like to ask you about your personal why and how you are manifesting it in your business.  So thank you again, Steve. I’m really excited to be on your show. I’m in the data and AI business, and really tech innovation, for the last 30 years. In this particular company, Think AI, I have a partner, Manish Bhardia, and we both have been working very actively with Microsoft partners, the Microsoft ecosystem, and implementing data and AI solutions for midsize companies and manufacturing companies. You went on why, which is amazing.  My why: I’m a disabled entrepreneur. I have this hunger for building businesses. I’ve built nine businesses. We can talk about it later. And five of them were miserable failures in my books. Not all of them were that miserable, as I say. But five of them were failures, and I learned a lot from them. And I’m really motivated now to expand it further, to give back to small businesses.  We’ve been working with midsize and enterprise clients, but to midsize companies, and then motivate—I have a 15-year-old kid—so motivate young people and also small businesses to make use of the power of their own data and use and consume AI on a day-to-day basis. That’s my why.  Wow. So, to learn the power of their own data and use AI, why is this important to you?  The main reason is I am passionate about technology. Everybody is good at something. I am really good at solving business problems using technology. Being a disabled entrepreneur, I did not have a lot of luxury initially, even walking. Eventually, I started using braces, started going to different countries. So the passion became really the source of energy and motivation, and that passion is now going to a level where I want to motivate people like me who are disabled entrepreneurs and want to go into this kind of business. So my real passion is technology and giving back to society using technology, to sum it up.  Wow. So you mentioned this disabled entrepreneur. I’ve never heard this term. I mean, you talk about minority entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, you know, veteran entrepreneurs, and actually the government recognizes these categories, but I never heard about disabled entrepreneurs. So would you mind sharing a little bit about what happened to you and how you got into this entrepreneurship?  Sure, yeah. And that’s really good, by the way. I don’t see anybody else using that term but me, so probably I should keep it with me as a copyright term. Just joking on it. But having said that, every disability brings some kind of ability. That’s why sometimes they call it differently abled. When you have these abilities, you don’t know the source or the channels to use them. So, for example, blind people, they may have a lot of great listening power. That’s why they are into music most of the time.  Sometimes they have amazing reasoning and critical-thinking power, but they don’t know how to channel it, so they fight on a day-to-day basis with these issues. Bringing it back to me, I have polio. When I was six months old, I got hit by the polio virus. Initially, for a few years, I had to just lie down on the bed, had a lot of physical therapy. Then I was able to get up and sit, at least. Then my father was carrying me to school, and I could see the kids were going out and playing. I got beaten up because of that, too, because kids don’t understand. No fault of theirs that I’m not throwing the ball at them and they are playing.  And so that brought a lot of negativity in me. Eventually, my grandfather and my father helped me get over that, and I started channeling that into building businesses. So I started teaching music. I learned music through some of my friends. I started teaching music during my college days and started making money. And I had a blind friend, and he needed money because he was abandoned by his parents, so I had to help him out. I started making some money. I was doing well with my family, so I could just pay everything back to him. So that seed got planted there, and I didn’t know what to do back then, right?  Still a 14-, 15-year-old kid or a teenager, in this case. So I started getting into that mindset of, how about I build businesses for me and then start helping out the community? I’m still not there yet. I’m going towards helping that community. But I want to identify disability in three ways, not just physical. So those three are physical, but the bigger one is mental. A lot of people are really mentally blocked, and you see people, you know, “Oh, I can’t change anything in my life.” People die by suic*de. Kids get into depression. This is a form of disability, by all means.  I don’t think education, parents, and community are doing so much about that other than having a cliché thing that, “I was a victim of depression, so I’m doing that,” just to show off. But really, to help out the community in a methodical manner, that doesn’t exist. Second, physical disability, like I said, given by God sometimes, like war veterans and others, then you feel really limited. So what to do with that? And I come into that category, so I know that really well. Third is financial disability. So a lot of financial disability is in the mind, too. I’ve heard a phrase called, “You don’t die by hunger; you really die by indigestion.”  So you would find ways and means to make money even if you’re a completely disabled person. So I don’t think finance is an issue in general. So these three areas, to me, are the real disability areas. I’m obviously only working on one today, which is physical disability: how to identify the potential of people who can create something different within that limitation and then make a change in the world. So that’s the motivation. That’s my Life 2.0, where I’m moving now. Love it. Love it. So how did you have time to build nine businesses?  I started it in 1993, ’94, I believe, or ’95, I think. And they’re one at a time. Today I have about three. I sold one. And yeah, I did not have time. One of the big challenges when I built these three in the last six, seven, eight years, the biggest challenge I faced is I do not have time for working with customers, which I love to do—talking and listening to their business problems, solving those problems. I end up doing a lot of operational work.  Post-2020, and it’s a very blunt thing to say, people got lazy. They want to change jobs, make more money, do moonlighting, do multiple things, but not work hard like we did back in the days. And that kind of pushed all of us small businesses to do a lot more management of resources, especially human resources, in a distributed environment. I have teams in India, the Philippines, Canada. So that became a bigger challenge. But having said that, AI came as a savior. In the last 18 months, AI has changed quite a lot.  And if you don’t go into a debate of whether AI is good or bad, or you’re a skeptic or an enthusiast, AI can really help you if you really put together how it can help you. It should not replace you, but it should give you an additional helping arm. In my business, I started deploying C-suite. So I still have a VP of operations. My business partner is into sales. But then I started filling in other functions, like a fractional CFO, as an example. My fractional CFO is monitoring my top line and bottom line. I call him Felix. I have to give names to AI agents.  So Felix is actually looking on a weekly basis at what invoices are billed, if we have vendors or employees, what we need to pay, where our expenses are going, what’s the monthly or maybe six-month cash flow run. Are we within limits? Do we have borderline cash availability so that we can survive? So it started to do a lot of things. But not only that, because we are feeding our own data, our own mind, I have built my own second brain. It started to read off of that and started giving me insights that a human would not give me. And even if I hire a fractional CFO, he will only hear what I have to say, look into some of my books, and then give me some blanket suggestions.  Here, this is really tailor-made to our problems, our situation, and it worked phenomenally well. So I’m building that as a product now. It’s not done yet. Then I also deployed my own CMO called Sasha, and she started to look into my marketing angles, my branding, my voice, my identity. I love writing, but now AI can help me—not just create a blanket AI post or something, but really read how I write, what I write. So I create ideas. It helps me research, does a factual check on it. So I give 100 words. It can take those ideas and then expand into newsletter articles or a big campaign.  I can start building different case studies for our customers, proof of concept, building podcasts such as these. So this started freeing up—I only talked about two executives, and I have seven of them—but they started to help me free up my time. And believe it or not, I am getting about 40 to 60 hours, and in good months, about 80 hours per month. So 30 to 50% of my regular time is freed up. So that time is now going into this movement that I’m thinking about, which is disabled entrepreneurship.  Wow, that is impressive. So tell me a little bit about this. This is a podcast of frameworks. So do you have a framework for maybe launching an AI agent like that?  I definitely do, and I want you to expand on it. But in terms of what I have, I look into three things. Where is the gap in terms of human? Where I see either performance issues, quality issues, or availability and capacity issues. So what are those things which don’t hit my security side of things, don’t interact with my customer, and still help me in my operations? That’s the gap we look into. How can we use and fill that gap to grow what we need to work on? And then last, so I use three Gs with my last name, Goyal, right? So Gap to Grow to Glow.  So now how can we use this in our business to glow and create an environment where even humans can interact with this AI persona? So we are always big on human-in-the-loop or human-in-control with any AI solution. So it always starts with the gap. Where is the gap? Where is it taking time from one of the human sides of our team?  I like that. I like that you isolated those things which are less risky to develop, because I think a lot of people are held back by this idea that it’s a black box, you don’t know what you’re getting into, you don’t know what you don’t know, and it’s risky, and then they don’t do anything.  But you actually isolated that customer interaction is a risk you don’t want to live with right now, and security is another one you don’t want to, which, I mean, it’s obvious. But if those are not hurt, then really what is the risk you’re running? So I like it. So how do you fire up an AI agent like that?  So in terms of technology, I’m using a few things. I’m using Claude Code, the full Claude environment. So we build it off of that. Back in my days, I worked as a white-hat hacker, so the security angle we mentioned, I’m always so worried about hacking and security. So I have a completely isolated environment at my home on a Mac Mini, a really powerful Mac Mini, and that cannot go out on the internet and do things. And nobody can inject anything.  But then I still need to feed information to it, so I have another machine where the only job of that machine is to provide information to this system. So I have my own second brain mapped into Obsidian, which is a note-taking application, but it’s really organized. So I first fed all my knowledge. I’ve recorded lots and lots of audios and documents, and it has learned. So I built that system first, like Dave’s second brain. And my second brain has learned everything about me. Nobody can see it but me. That’s my initial basis, right?  After that, I built a working memory for my agents, for my company, and I’m doing it for one company at a time. Think AI is not completely live on the system, but Data & AI Studio is, which is a solo entrepreneurship business that I have. It is learning everything about that business as we speak. Even the transcripts from these podcasts and other places go into it, and it learns from it. There will be some insights which it will find, so it retains them. So Claude Code, Mac Mini, Obsidian—these are the basis. And then I’ve deployed my own personal models, like DeepSeek, and that is sitting locally on that machine.  So the model is local. The downside is it’s not getting updated, so I only update it when I feel that it’s right. Not risk, it’s really the downside. There’s no risk in it. So you’re not on the latest and greatest, but you don’t have to be on the latest and greatest all the time. So Claude Code is on the latest and greatest, but when we deploy, it may not apply certain features that Claude Code is making available. And that’s fine. That’s the risk I’m taking. That’s the trade-off I’m taking. And the system is working great for the last six months.  In the last 18 months, even though I started AI about 28, 30 years ago, the last 18 months is when I learned the new-age AI, and the last six months is when I started building this in an iterative manner. And it is pretty stable now. It can do a lot of things like I mentioned. So your agents are running on your Mac Mini off the grid?  Yes.  And then you’re feeding information with another computer to it to essentially give them the raw material from which they can build stuff, right?  Right. A good example there, if I may expand: we use QuickBooks in our accounting system. It cannot read QuickBooks directly, but we, being a Microsoft partner, understand technology. I can write a job which can push data into the Mac Mini. It doesn’t read off of it. My Mac Mini, which has the agent, doesn’t know where that data has come from. It has the data, so it’s already synthesized.  It cannot communicate with others. So that’s the calculated risk we take, right? Getting the data from one angle, one way, and then it’s synthesizing and analyzing data and getting insights out of it. So that’s the balance of systems that I have.  I love it. That’s very clever. And what is your main business anyway? Because you talk about three businesses right now. What is your core business? What is your flagship business?  The flagship business is Think AI. It’s a consulting organization, a three-time Inc. 5000 winner in terms of growth. We have our own team, but then we also use a lot of vendors which are qualified by us throughout the world. And we are Microsoft Advanced Specialization partners. What that means is we are in the top 2% of the worldwide partners within the Microsoft ecosystem, which is about 500,000 partners. And we work mainly with midsize manufacturers, and sometimes healthcare if they are okay and open to AI, and if not, data. So we go in there, look into whether they have a data and AI strategy.  If they do, we work on their initiatives. If they have the initiatives. If not, we create the initiatives for them by doing some POCs and whatnot. And once we get engaged, we do deliverables like consulting services. But it’s not like typical consulting services where you place a resource. It’s really a value-based delivery model where we try to understand two business imperatives. One is what can help them make more revenue. And if we cannot find that, what can help them be more productive and have cost-cutting in one way or the other.  So these are the two main business imperatives we work on. When and if we align with that, then we give them a roadmap, a phase-wise approach, which they can do with us or with somebody else, and then we keep delivering on it. So that’s the whole model.  So what drives growth in the Think AI business?  I mean, finding more customers, to say the least. And that becomes difficult because today everything is becoming a commodity. So one good learning, by the way, I need to share with the audience here. When you’re a small business, you think your brand is the value that you have. It’s the founders who are the brand. So it’s Manish and me. Manish, my business partner, is really big in productivity, project management, and that kind of thing. And I’m really good at building solutions using tech. And together we have about 55 years of experience.  And then our key team members are ex-Microsoft or MVPs, Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals. So we hire a really strong key team. And the team below, we can either fill with our members, hire our own members, or go to the vendors also, and we tell it to our clients also. So our delivery model is we are the ones who are delivering. The guarantee is taken by Manish and Dave, not by Think AI. We have gotten into that situation. We are about 95% successful, so there’s a 5% failure. And the failure is either because we have the wrong team member, the communication between the client and us was not clear, the scope was not clear, the definition of value and done was not clear, and we have learned from it.  So our business model is towards that, and that brings us growth because we work with a number of partners. Manish is part of a lot of Microsoft channel partner networks. We provide complementary services to those partners. So one channel is we work with a lot of partners because the trust is there. Authority and trust are the two factors we have understood which establish your business, and it’s the founders’ authority and trust, not the company. Company will build on its own. So we started building our own authority and trust, and that gets us growth. It’s not at the level we’d like, but we are happy.  You are happy. Okay. So what is your vision? What would you like to make out of this?  So we have an exit plan, at least on Think AI. And like I told you, Manish has his own. That is up to him. For me, I want to create this venture studio for disabled entrepreneurs, get the funds from here, and then harvest, go across the world. So three hobbies I have.  One is travel. Second is reading, writing stuff, books. And third is music. And entrepreneurship comes in this whole surroundings, in this whole ring, so it’s the foundation of it. So we’re going to build this disabled entrepreneurship venture studio with a little bit of funds from our exit, and hope to grow there and hope to retire or die with that thinking.  Love it. Love it. It’s fascinating. So you have a book that is on your LinkedIn page, Real-Time Business Intelligence Mastery. So tell me about this book. Why did you write it, and what’s it about?  Sure. So we went into a coaching program. Up until 2022, we were arrogant enough to say, “Oh yeah, we can do everything on our own.” And then slowly we realized we need help, and we started taking help. We went to a couple of coaches in India where they were coaching us either on how to manage operations and operational excellence, and then another coach who’s like a life/building-your-brand marketing coach, and he inspired us to write a book.  Now, I’ve been writing in my own native Hindi language, songs and compositions, but writing a book was a dream, and I thought it’s a big undertaking. But with their little bit of motivation and help, not in writing, but in the angle of what a book can bring. So I have a lot of experience working in midsize manufacturing organizations, working with CTOs and CIOs, and business intelligence is delayed. So it’s either a one-day delay or a week delay or a month delay, and it’s more reactive in nature.  So the book was more about how you can build a real-time business intelligence culture so that you can get the insights from your data, make actionable insights, take actions on it, and grow your business for those two imperatives I talked about, which is grow your revenue or increase your productivity and decrease your cost.  So are you writing about some of the things that you talked about? Leveraging AI, building AI agents?  It has more about—so I wrote it in 2022, I believe. It has a lot more detail about. AI was not as popular, right? I mean, I did write about AI in it, but it was more about building a data culture than AI. It does talk briefly about AI because real-time is going very closely with AI. That’s the enabler for AI insights or data insights through AI. So it does talk a little bit about AI, but it talks more about tech leaders like CIOs and CTOs. What do they need to do? How do they need to build a culture around harvesting data, bring the data, build the team, where to take it? So it has those details.  Okay. That’s fascinating. Who is this book for? Is it for founders? Is it for C-level executives? Who is the target?  Like I said, it’s for tech leaders, CIOs, and CTOs of midsize organizations.  Okay. That’s awesome. And these are the people that are your target customers as well at Think AI?  Yes. That’s our true ideal client profile too, and that’s whom we have worked with all our lives. So they’re close friends, target audience, and customers. Future customers and current customers.  All in one. All in one. That’s so nice when you write a book to your friends. That’s a very cool concept. So let me ask you this, Dave. If you had a magic wand, you’ve done a lot of things in your business, you built nine businesses. You learned from some of the failures that you had, which is part of entrepreneurship, and now you created AI agents, and then you have a second brain, and you’re leveraging all that technology. So if you had a magic wand and you could fix one thing in your business in the next 12 months, what would that be?  I wish I had more senior leadership. Any business works with delegation. We have a couple who are really amazing, and they wear a lot of hats. But growth depends on three things, right? Being in front of the right customer, having the right team, and having the right product. Our product is people, unfortunately and fortunately. Customers, we are very happy and excited, and they trust us. We know how to get to them. We know how to create value for them. We are very satisfied. Everybody would say, “I need more customers,” and we would do that too.  But I think more important is what product you are offering. So then people are what we are offering, and we are competing against big ones like Accenture and Avanade and Cognizant of the world in our business, the tech consulting business. But then we are not competing against cost; we are competing against value. So how do you create value? You find a valuable customer. They understand our language. The next level is, where is the product, which is the people? And that management becomes quite difficult. And harvesting and getting the right people in place is a job by itself.  So kudos to those large companies if they’re harvesting one, although that’s debatable because when we go to the client, they complain a lot about their resources as well. So harvesting the right product and the right team is the key. And how do you do that? If you have the right leaders on top. Two partners alone cannot do that. So building more leaders underneath is the key. We are able to build a few, and I wish we could build a lot more. So when you have the right core team, your growth comes in, is my belief system. It could be different for everyone else.  No, I think it’s a very deep insight, and very few people actually talk about this idea that the purpose of a business, especially in today’s AI age, is to build leaders. That’s your purpose, because people will take care of everything. They’re going to run your AI agents. They’re going to manifest your vision. But you can’t have just AI agents in a company, right?  Because then the mental load is so much on the leader, and then the single-person dependency becomes critical. So is this what you mean by this? Where do you come from with this idea of harvesting people and leaders in the business?  Absolutely. You said it well. Building leaders doesn’t just apply to an organization, whether small, medium, or big, but even to countries. If you don’t have the right leaders in place, it’s going to bite you back. And all cultures, some of the top management consultants will teach you to go into succession planning. That is what they really mean by that.  It’s not succession planning by, okay, replace a CEO with a CEO. It’s the mindset. Apple is a great example of it. Steve Jobs hired Tim Cook from Compaq, from that world, and he had that vision. Obviously, he had a mission, but he had the vision—who to take, where to take, and what they would do. And that legacy continues even today. So Apple didn’t change a single bit in their model. And people would argue and debate, and that’s fine.  But when I see it from my eye, he built a great leader. When he did that, the company stayed the same, right? So it’s not about what products Apple is creating today, whether it’s iPhone or iPad or Apple Vision Pro or some of the other things that they are doing, but it’s really that leader. Same thing went with Google, or Microsoft, Satya Nadella. And you see the right leaders were built by these founders. And by any means, we are not that big, and hopefully we can get to some place which is pretty good in our books.  But finding and building the right people, it gives you a lot of satisfaction, happiness, bliss, if you can give it back to somebody who’s capable enough. And I’m always in hunt of the right people, building the right team in place.  It’s so interesting you mention Apple because when Isaacson came out with the Steve Jobs biography, he said, basically, I think it’s in the preamble of the book, that Steve Jobs wanted people to remember him not for the products that he created, but the company. So his biggest contribution was creating a company. And I didn’t get what he meant by it.  But if you witness the last—since he died 13 years ago—the last 13 years, this company has gone from strength to strength. Ninety percent of its market capitalization has been created since he died, right? So it keeps growing and keeps going from strength to strength, and that is the culture and the people that he built. This is the company he built. So it’s quite an amazing idea.  I was about to comment on company. Something came back to me or reminded me that companies generally build on three pillars: customer, people, and culture. And if you don’t have the right balance of it—so, the right people, but if you don’t have the right culture, they’re going to run away. If you don’t have the right customers, you should have the ability to say no to certain types of customers too. Like Apple never targeted small, cheap products.  And when I say cheap, meaning which doesn’t have the right quality in place, not about the cost. It’s always cost versus quality. So they have really struck the right balance in those three angles, and I think that’s the right way to do it. Some are able to do it, some are able to push through to do it, and some are not. But that’s where I think the focus needs to be if you are a founder. Find that right balance of people, client or customer, and culture.  Yeah.  And that is your core values too.  Yeah. I agree with you. That’s wonderful. If you are listening to this conversation with Dave Goyal, and you would like to learn more about him and what he does and Think AI Corporation, where should our listeners go to learn more?  Thank you for this opportunity, first of all. And people can find me on LinkedIn by my name, Dave Goyal. I’m very active there. I recently started a YouTube channel with the name Dave Goyal, so you can find me on YouTube.

Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com. Back then, you couldn't just stumble across every horrifying thing imaginable while casually scrolling your phone. No, sir. You had to work for your trauma. You had to hear about Rotten.com from somebody, type it into the family computer, click something you absolutely shouldn't have clicked, and then wait patiently while your dial-up connection loaded your lifelong regret one horrifying line at a time.Was Rotten.com disgusting? Absolutely.Does the crew still seem weirdly sad that it's gone?Also absolutely.Then we move from internet trauma to another relic of the '90s and early 2000s: Hotmail.A poll says 18% of people are apparently still rocking a Hotmail address, which leads to an important discovery: Hotmail never completely disappeared. Microsoft eventually transitioned the service into Outlook, meaning technically some of us may still be living inside the Hotmail universe.We're all dorks. Fantastic.The crew remembers the era when nobody used their actual name for an email address. Instead, we created identities that looked like rejected Xbox gamertags: random nicknames, 420s, 69s and enough questionable innuendo to make applying for a respectable adult job years later slightly complicated.And then there are the complaint emails.Apparently nothing tells the show exactly what demographic they're dealing with faster than receiving an angry message from an account created during the Clinton administration.Welcome to daily comedy, where your email provider is now apparently enough information for us to profile you.But nostalgia eventually gives way to competition as Match Up With Moon returns with Rafe versus Moon, and that's when everybody's remaining intelligence begins leaking out of the studio.Round one starts innocently enough.What's Beantown?Boston. Easy.Which amendment gave women the right to vote?The 19th. Look at us go.Who was Wendell the cereal mascot?Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Somehow we still know this information despite forgetting why we walked into rooms.Then comes the question that starts breaking brains:What does the “com” in .com actually stand for?Rafe goes with “communication.” King Scott thinks “company.” Moon correctly lands on commercial, because apparently after decades of typing web addresses, one person in the room finally bothered to understand what any of it means.The trivia chaos continues with questions about Heineken, the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals and one of the most important cereal discoveries of our time: Cap'n Crunch apparently has an actual name.Horatio Crunch.Good for Horatio. Glad somebody finally gave the Captain the respect he deserves.Round two somehow gets worse.Which country contains more than half of the world's natural lakes? What's the only internal human organ capable of regenerating itself? Who originally hosted America's Got Talent? Which fast-food chain helped introduce Tater Tots?And then Rizz makes Moon and Rafe physically write down how many zeros are in a quadrillion.Moon arrives at 15.Rafe ALSO WRITES DOWN 15 ZEROS……and then says 16 out loud.That is the kind of unforced error this daily comedy show was built upon.Nothing quite compares to successfully solving a problem and then personally changing your own correct answer into the wrong one.The crew wraps things up by guessing attendance at the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series race at Worldwide Technology Raceway. Moon guesses 39,000. Rafe throws out 80,000. The actual answer lands between them at 57,000, giving everyone one final opportunity to demonstrate that estimating crowd sizes is basically just guessing jelly beans in a jar for adults.So today's episode has everything you could possibly need: Rotten.com nostalgia, Hotmail archaeology, terrible email addresses, Cinnamon Toast Crunch lore, Tater Tot history, St. Louis Cardinals trivia, NASCAR math and grown men discovering what “dot com” means approximately three decades after the internet became popular.We used to think the early internet was making us smarter.Turns out we were mostly waiting 12 minutes for a picture to load.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rizzuto Show kicks things off by remembering Tim Curry, his legendary career, and the unfortunate timing of losing another beloved celebrity during an already emotional week. That leads the crew into the important question of who could possibly fill the role of a universally beloved celebrity these days. Adam Sandler gets consideration, Jeff Bridges enters the conversation, and eventually Keanu Reeves emerges as a pretty strong candidate because apparently quietly eating ice cream and being a decent human being now qualifies you for sainthood. Fair enough.Then everybody gets nostalgic about childhood discipline, which quickly becomes less “remember the good old days?” and more “should somebody have called somebody?” The crew remembers wooden spoons, belts, Hot Wheels tracks, fly swatters, soap in the mouth and the terrifying parental phrase that basically meant your afternoon plans had been canceled. It's another wholesome trip down memory lane from your favorite funny podcast, assuming your memories involve calculating the trajectory of a leather belt like you're working for NASA.Next stop: Burning Man, where the crew investigates the return of the infamous adults-only dome after last year's wind-related disaster. There are rules now: IDs, consent, no recording devices and, most importantly, no singles strolling in alone. Which naturally launches a completely necessary discussion about whether two buddies could simply pretend to be a couple to get through the door. Journalism is alive and well.Things somehow become more respectable when we arrive in Tulsa, where authorities are searching for a mysterious serial defecator accused of targeting businesses while dressed in an ensemble involving tiny underwear, a shower cap, a modified mask and Crocs. The most damning detail? The Crocs apparently weren't in sport mode. That's how you know this guy fears neither God nor law enforcement.And then comes Oreogate.A kindergarten mom reportedly asks the other parents to stop packing Oreos because her daughter gets upset when other kids have them. No allergy. No medical issue. Just the brutal realization that another five-year-old has cookies and you do not. When the other parents refuse to reorganize their children's lunches around this international crisis, Mom considers switching schools.Over Oreos.Meanwhile, the kid starts trading for them anyway, proving once again that kindergarten cafeterias are basically tiny prisons with better wall art. The crew debates school-lunch currency, Double Stuf superiority, Golden Oreos, questionable specialty flavors and the economic insanity required to consider changing schools because Nabisco has destroyed the peace.There are even pickle-flavored Oreo-adjacent horrors entering the studio, because apparently talking about terrible cookies wasn't enough—we needed witnesses.It's celebrity talk, childhood trauma disguised as nostalgia, weird news, Burning Man logistics, criminal fashion analysis and one kindergarten snack dispute treated with roughly the seriousness of an international trade embargo.The crew dives into UFOs becoming UAPs, government disclosures, Bob Lazar, Area 51 and whether actual extraterrestrial visitors could finally unite humanity. Rafe thinks having one common alien enemy might finally turn us all into citizens of Earth. Moon isn't buying that optimism and figures we'd probably start fighting over which country gets custody of the aliens before they even get out of the ship. Sounds about right.Back on Earth, St. Louis is getting a little Hollywood treatment with The Streak, a sports comedy filming locally about Caltech's legendary basketball team snapping a 310-game losing streak. The production needs roughly 1,800 volunteer extras for basketball crowd scenes, meaning you too can spend five hours waiting around for your glorious half-second of blurry cinematic immortality. At least they're bringing stand-up comedians in to entertain the extras between takes.Then we enter conspiracy territory with Tropical Storm Dolly. Yes, shortly after Dolly Parton's passing, the next named Atlantic storm happens to be Dolly. No, they didn't name it after her. Yes, the names were already determined. And yes, people online are still turning it into a conspiracy because apparently coincidence was removed from the Internet's vocabulary sometime around 2017. It's the kind of discussion a comedy podcast was genetically engineered to handle.The show also remembers the incredible Tim Curry, looking back at everything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to Home Alone 2, Congo and his nightmare-fueling performance as Pennywise in the 1990 TV adaptation of It. Somehow that horrifying sewer scene aired on network television and an entire generation of children was simply expected to sleep afterward. The '90s were built different.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, Jamie Foxx discussing changes made to Django Unchained, a Quentin Tarantino-written Cliff Booth project, the original Sandlot cast reuniting for Dugout Dads, and the revelation that Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez grew up to become a firefighter. There is also a detour into a bizarre 2015 incident involving actor Mike Vitar because apparently even The Sandlot can't survive this show without us finding something weird.Ozzy Osbourne is getting his own Halloween Horror Nights attraction, Boston is celebrating 50 years with previously unreleased demos, Eric Clapton and John Mayer have a limited-edition guitar collection benefiting Clapton's recovery center, and Rupert Grint is returning as an adult Ron Weasley on Broadway. It's celebrity news, music news and pop culture commentary delivered with the level of professionalism you've come to expect from people debating alien treaties earlier in the episode.Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), the data and AI platform behind everything from battlefield targeting systems to Airbus's A350 production line, with customers including the U.S. Army, the NHS, Ferrari, and Airbus. Palantir is growing revenue at over 90%, with net dollar retention at 157% and adjusted operating margins above 60% — a Rule of 40 score of 155%, roughly double what the best software companies in the world achieve. It also trades at around 60 times sales, which is why The Economist called it possibly the most overvalued firm of all time. Daniel and Shawn discuss whether the ontology layer is a sustainable moat now that Microsoft and Google have launched competing products, what Alex Karp and Peter Thiel's politics mean for a company selling to Western governments, and why twenty years of losses turned into the fastest-accelerating software business on the market. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether PLTR deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:29) How Palantir's Ontology actually works (00:16:26) How AI turned around Palantir's business (00:20:59) Why Palantir has the best margins in the industry (00:34:22) Why no one seems to be able to copy Palantir's Ontology (00:38:01) How Palantir grows its customer base (01:07:36) Palantir's valuation discussion (01:11:37) How much Palantir stock is actually worth (01:12:52) Whether PLTR will be added to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

a16z General Partners Martin Casado, Sarah Wang, and Matt Bornstein unpack the story of Cursor: how a small, product-obsessed team entered one of the most competitive markets in technology, took on incumbents with seemingly unbeatable advantages, and repeatedly made decisions that ran against conventional startup wisdom. They revisit the early bet that the interface between humans and AI would matter more than building a coding-specific foundation model, why Cursor built its own product rather than a VS Code plugin, and how the founders' ability to say "no" became one of the company's defining strengths. They also discuss Cursor's rapid evolution from IDE to agent and model platform, and why the team was willing to cannibalize its own products as AI capabilities improved. The conversation gets into what founders can learn from Cursor's approach to competition, hiring, enterprise sales, M&A, and company culture, including why the team remained unfazed by competitors from Microsoft to Anthropic and how its obsessive focus on product ultimately extended into every part of building the company.

TypeScript is a programming language that builds on JavaScript by adding a system of types. Those types let developers describe the shape of their data and catch mistakes before code ever runs, while also powering the autocompletion and editor tooling that many developers now rely on every day. It was first released in 2012, and has since become one of the most widely used tools in web development. TypeScript recently underwent one of the most significant changes in its history with the release of version 7. Daniel Rosenwasser is the Principal Product Manager of TypeScript at Microsoft, where he began as an engineer on the team just weeks after the TypeScript 1.0 release. In this episode, Daniel joins Josh Goldberg to talk about the features of TypeScript 7. They discuss the TypeScript team’s approach to tooling, TypeScript’s relationship with the TC39 standards process behind JavaScript, the new API and IPC boundary, how LLMs could reshape type checking and linting, and more.Sponsorship inquiries:sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com The post TypeScript 7 and What Comes Next appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Kevin Surace, Chief Executive Officer at TokenCore, opens with the attack path he says is doing the most damage right now. A phishing email carries a PDF and no links, so it clears the filters. The domain is one character off from the real one, the site is pixel perfect because AI built both the page and the message, and the employee approves an auth prompt they were already expecting. The code was real and the approval was real. Kevin Surace points out that auth apps and passkeys run over cellular and Wi-Fi, so the prompt has no way to know the request came from ten thousand miles away. Anything a person can read or hand over can be shared, and by his account an attacker needs about thirty seconds of trust to get it. Passkeys moved the target rather than removing it. Kevin Surace counts 39 separate passkey attacks in the wild within two weeks of Microsoft telling customers to migrate, and points to Michael Grafnetter of SpecterOps, who presented passkey and Entra research at Black Hat. He walks through the FIDO2 counter that WebAuthn treats as optional so shared passkeys can move between devices. What changes with TokenCore in the mix is where the proof sits. Kevin Surace describes signing into Entra in under two seconds, both passwordless and ID-less, over secure Bluetooth, with the device carrying no apps and no screen. Proximity holds it within three feet of the computer being logged into, the credential stays bound to the original domain, and fingerprints stay off the network. Agents raise the same question in a new place. Kevin Surace describes a policy where an agent action above a million-dollar check needs a person to approve it, and notes that another agent, a hacked one, or a bad actor can clear that approval just as easily. A biometric gate is what tells you the CFO was actually in the room, which is a governance answer as much as a security one. For CISOs, identity architects, and risk owners, the question worth asking is what an identity program looks like when the proof of a person becomes the control, and how much residual risk that removes from privileged access, financial approvals, and agent workflows.

In the latest episode of Executive Function, Brett sits down with Jay Parikh, Executive Vice President of CoreAI at Microsoft. Before joining Microsoft, Jay spent over a decade as Facebook's global head of engineering, scaling the company from a few hundred engineers to billions of users, then ran the cybersecurity company Lacework as CEO through its acquisition by Fortinet. In this conversation, he breaks down the five ingredients of great engineering leadership, discusses why he'd rather run two competing bets in parallel than forecast a winner, and explains why company culture remains more important than ever for teams to get right. In today's episode, we discuss: The five ingredients that separate excellent engineering leadership from the rest How to protect your team from large shifts in public perception The mindset shift organizations need to maintain speed at scale How every layer of the organization needs to stay connected to the customer Why Jay runs "brain trusts" of senior ICs with zero managers in the room References Akamai: https://www.akamai.com/ AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ George Conrades: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeconrades/ Mark Zuckerberg: https://x.com/finkd Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/ Paul Sagan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-sagan-59654a1/ Tom Leighton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tleighton/ Where to find Jay LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayparikh/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/jayparikh Where to find Brett LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:36 How leadership changes through exponential growth 02:21 The five ingredients that define excellent engineering leadership 07:51 What actually drives culture at a company as it scales 12:05 The physics behind why everything slows down at scale 18:57 The fastest team of Jay's career, and why size mattered 22:44 Why every team should think like an FDE 26:20 Managing a team through wild swings in public perception 29:07 What's different about leading through the steepest S-curve moments 33:58 Why onboarding well means going slow to go fast 37:41 Is AI actually new, or is history just repeating? 41:35 What actually counts as a "big bet" worth taking 45:01 The concrete big bets that reshaped Facebook's entire technology stack 47:35 Why vertical integration keeps being the right call as companies scale 51:46 How being a startup CEO reshaped Jay as a leader 1:01:26 Why Jay overruled Zuckerberg's instinct to skip efficiency

Dan Nathan sits down with Matt Turck, Managing Director at First Mark Capital and creator of the annual MAD (Machine Learning, AI & Data) Landscape, for a wide-ranging look at where AI investing stands right now. They cover the power-law dynamics driving venture dollars to a handful of companies, why Nvidia is starting to look like "the bank" of the AI industry, Anthropic's surge past $65 billion in revenue and its first profitable quarter, and how OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are each positioning for what comes next. The conversation turns philosophical with a discussion of AGI, superintelligence, and the idea that Altman, Musk, and Amodei are all, in their own ways, trying to build God — before closing with a deep dive into China's AI progress, open source, and the robotics race. Matt also talks about his own podcast, The MAD Podcast, and his Data Driven NYC event series.

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam, Nick, and Brett break down Merck and Moderna's positive Phase 3 results for a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, a treatment custom-built from each patient's own tumor that cut mortality from advanced melanoma by roughly 50% versus the standard of care. The team digs into cost, manufacturing scale, and why the capital poured into mRNA during COVID may be paying off in oncology. Then Brett reports back from a weekend with Grok Bot, which recovered $75 of his wife's forgotten escrow money on its first task, and the team debates why multiplayer agents could be the real threat to Microsoft's enterprise moat.Key Points From This Episode:How a custom mRNA vaccine trains the immune system against a patient's own tumor, and what Phase 3 melanoma results could mean for other cancersWhy $200K–$300K per treatment limits early use, and what we believe has to change for personalized oncology to scaleWhy agents that live inside team chat, not one-on-one, may be the real disruption to Microsoft and SlackIf you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation.

Aircraft carrier catapult systems, Peraton's performance as the Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System, the Department of Homeland Security's luxury jets, Google's purchase of Spirit Airlines' data for AI training, American Airlines economy seatback screens, and a Li-ion laptop battery that caught fire in flight. Also, Micah's first flight, Delta's requirements for portable chargers, and the real reason they are called bear straps. Aviation News Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets President Trump signed a national security memorandum directing the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and the acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao, to come up with a plan to replace the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Weapons Elevators with steam and hydraulic systems for the construction of the Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller. Critics of the change point to the major redesign and expense required.

Trump's FAA picked an unlikely contractor to lead its air traffic overhaul. The agency is having second thoughts. In December 2025, DOT/FAA selected Peraton as Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), a $1.5 billion contract. Peraton, which had little direct experience working with the FAA, was chosen over Parsons Corp., which has extensive experience with FAA contracts. Peraton is a national-security and government-services contractor owned by Veritas Capital, and is known for its defense, intelligence, and IT/communications work. (Veritas also owns Peraton Labs, the former Bell Labs). Some reports indicate that the FAA is frustrated with Peraton. A source notes that “Peraton has basically not done any work since they got in” and admits that the FAA was partially at fault because it “stonewalled Peraton's efforts to work seamlessly with FAA counterparts.” The FAA has micromanaged the project, and Peraton has failed to manage the project. An In-House Private Jet Service, Senators Say The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchased two Gulfstream G650s, two G700s, and eight Boeing 737s to be used by the Trump Administration. U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee vice chair Patty Murray (D-Washington) and ranking homeland security subcommittee member Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) are calling for an investigation. In a letter to both DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the DHS inspector general requesting the investigation, the purchases are characterized as a “gross misuse” of tax dollars. Spirit Data Sale to Google Prompts Flight Attendants' Objection After 34 years of operations, Spirit Airlines ceased all flight operations on May 2, 2026. Spirit's Chapter 11 reorganization failed, and the airline went into full liquidation. The bankruptcy court entered a Wind-Down Order covering the sale of LaGuardia slots, the corporate campus, the loyalty program, and operating equipment. For $10 million, Google won the auction for Spirit’s approximately 100 million emails, calendar data, 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, documents, spreadsheets, and software code. Google will use them to improve its products and AI models. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, voiced a limited objection to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, raising privacy concerns. The union is concerned about the confidentiality of disciplinary records, payroll history, and internal communications, noting that the deal’s privacy provisions are designed to protect consumers, not employees. The union also raised concerns about links between payroll, timekeeping, and communications data; whether there will be an independent screen for employee confidentiality; and provisions on later transfers to third parties. The AFA asked the court to reject the sale unless changes are made to exclude all flight attendant information, including training records, time cards, and payroll, as well as any Microsoft 365 content containing flight attendant data. Alternatively, the court should require a review protocol for labor or disciplinary records and communications, and prohibit using the data to profile any identifiable group of flight attendants, the AFA said.

American will begin offering Starlink inflight connectivity on 500 planes beginning in 2027.  The lack of screens in economy cabins dates back to the US Airways merger in 2014. Doug Parker argued that the cost of screens was not worth the investment since most fliers brought their own portable device. United and Delta followed a different path. Laptop catches fire on American Airlines flight, passenger suffers minor burns Injuries occurred on American Airlines flight 2398 between Atlanta (ATL) and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) on August 21, 2026, after a laptop battery caught fire. The pilots reported smoke in the cabin to ATC. The cabin crew extinguished the fire (reportedly using a thermal containment bag). The A321 landed without further incident.

Ready for a rant? Carl and Richard talk to Billy Hollis about the impact of artificial intelligence on software development. The conversation starts with a listener comment about going all-in on AI to speed up development radically, which raises the question of how much AI is the right amount. What's safe and what is reckless? And how will that position change over time? Are the problems we're having today just growing pains of the tools, or are they systemic to the technology? Lots to debate!

Episode 792 is stacked with drama, leaks, big industry shifts, and one of the strongest weeks of game impressions we've had in months. From Big Walk taking over the charts to Cyberleek allegedly holding a full GTA build hostage, this episode goes places.

Have you ever hit every single goal you set out for yourself and still felt completely empty inside? That's the exact moment I found myself in years ago, staring at a stack of investor paperwork worth millions, and I couldn't sign it. I was recently interviewed by Eric Berman on Inside The Speakeasy. It was a great experience! We discuss my journey from extreme burnout to creating a life centered around freedom, fulfillment, and intentional success. Inside The Speakeasy, hosted by Eric Berman, gives entrepreneurs, founders, marketers, and creators an inside look at what it really takes to build and scale a successful business. Each episode features candid conversations with ambitious leaders who share the strategies, lessons, failures, and breakthroughs that shaped their journey. From startup growth and marketing execution to leadership and innovation, guests reveal what is actually working in today's business landscape. If you're ready to think bigger, take smarter risks, and accelerate your growth, pull up a chair and step Inside The Speakeasy. In this conversation, Eric and I got real about what it actually costs to grind your way to the top. I told him the story of building a tech startup in New York City in my early twenties, working over a hundred hours a week, running on four or five hours of sleep, and finally landing seven figure funding deals with partnerships tied to companies like Microsoft and IBM. On paper, I had made it. In my gut, I was smoked. My brother and I sat in our tiny apartment in Queens and ripped up the paperwork instead of signing it. That decision changed the entire direction of my life. We talked about why so many high performing entrepreneurs are optimizing every part of their business while completely neglecting the systems that support their own happiness. It's easy to build a scoreboard for revenue and totally forget to build one for your own peace. That's actually the question I think every entrepreneur needs to sit with. Are you chasing your own definition of success, or somebody else's? I chased someone else's for a long time, and it nearly cost me everything that actually mattered. One of the bigger things we got into is what I call the more disease. It's this constant craving for more money, more status, more followers, more stuff, and it infects high performers especially hard because we're wired to always push for the next level. The cure isn't actually more. It's contentment. Getting crystal clear on what you truly want and then practicing real gratitude for it, that's what breaks the cycle. Success without fulfillment is a trap, and I've watched it swallow people who look like they have everything. We also dug into digital overload, and honestly this one hits people harder than they realize. Constant screens, constant notifications, constant comparison, it quietly wrecks your happiness, your focus, and your relationships without you even noticing it happening. I shared some of the simple habits I use to fight it, like keeping the first and last thirty minutes of my day completely screen free. And we talked about growth. Real growth doesn't happen by accident. It takes consistent investment, reading in the morning, listening to something good in the afternoon, watching something educational at night. Small, repeatable habits stacked on top of each other over time. That's the whole game. If any of this is landing for you, do yourself a favor and go listen to the full conversation with Eric on Inside The Speakeasy.

When a senior expert walks out the door, years of judgment, pattern-recognition, and relationship capital often vanish with them. Dr. Bruce Dorey, founder of Jes-AI and author of Lift: Passing the Craft, and Digital Bell specializes in stopping that silent knowledge leak. Drawing on his decades in HVAC, sales engineering, and leadership, Bruce shows how AI can systematically capture “tribal knowledge” from conversations, documents, and deals so that future teams can still benefit from the hard-won lessons of today's top performers. Bruce also shares the idea of the Digital Bell, a modern, AI-powered way to snap out of autopilot and daily “drift.” Influenced by his years living in the Middle East and observing how the call to prayer regularly reset people's focus, he explains how leaders and professionals can build intentional, AI-assisted check-ins throughout the day. Instead of being yanked around by social media and email, you can design digital prompts that re-anchor you and your team to core values, long-term goals, and the key insights that matter most day after day, meeting after meeting. Bruce also pulls back the curtain on Jes-AI, a system built for sales organizations (especially in HVAC and technical fields) that turns messy, scattered data quotes, proposals, invoices, CRM notes into a strategic advantage. Jes-AI analyzes historical deals to reveal which clients actually buy, which ones never convert, who the true decision-makers are, and which internal experts you should involve on complex projects. This is AI as a coach and strategist, helping teams prioritize the right opportunities, build smarter playbooks, and stop wasting time on low-probability deals all while keeping sensitive data locked inside the company's own Microsoft environment. We go deep into succession planning, mentorship, and preserving institutional wisdom. Bruce explains why traditional corporate mentoring often fails and how the master–journeyman–apprentice model from old guilds (anchored in the Dunbar number of ~150 meaningful relationships) is still the most effective structure. Using AI to transcribe real mentoring conversations, extract the “nuggets” of hard-won expertise, and turn them into reusable playbooks, companies can ensure that when senior engineers, salespeople, or leaders retire, their knowledge doesn't retire with them. Bruce also shares a powerful personal story about recovering from a spinal injury and medication dependency, and how structured routines, human connection, and AI-assisted reflection helped him avoid drift and reconnect with what truly matters. https://youtu.be/J6sApODuMZo?si=0PT3edi5IA21wEus If you're worried about losing key people, watching your team operate on autopilot, or sitting on years of underused data in your CRM and documents, this conversation is your roadmap. You'll learn how to use AI not as a gimmick, but as a multiplier of human judgment, craftsmanship, and long-term thinking, so your organization can keep growing even as your experts move on. Quotes: “AI is kind of like the smartest guy in your office sitting with you and telling you what to do or what has worked in the past.” "Part of what we call tribal knowledge is just relationships; who do we know, and when we work with this person or this company, things get done."  "What I recommend is that you start capturing these insights, and then you remind yourself, and you remind your team, and the team reminds itself of what's important on a daily basis."
