Today we sit down and try to figure out what our ‘type' is, for romantic relationships, personal friendships, and work connections! We try to describe each others' types because sometimes…it's easier for a third party to clock the pattern ;-) We also try to dissect our personal values and needs based on the common factors we see in our close connections!Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

SaaStr 841: Going From Blobs to Billions. Clay's Co-Founder Breaks Down Inbound, Outbound, and AI-Powered Sales. Clay's Co-Founder Varun Anand takes the stage at SaaStr to break down how the company went from paying for claymation blobs before generating any revenue to powering growth workflows for companies like Cursor, Anthropic, and Figma. He explains why brand has always been core to Clay's identity, how their CFO roast videos and creative campaigns are actually capturing mindshare in a world where B2B marketing is painfully boring, and why he pushes back on the "use AI for everything" mentality that's taken over the industry. Varun does a full live demo building an inbound qualification workflow from scratch using real audience volunteers, walking through everything from lead enrichment and waterfall data sourcing to AI-powered scoring, personalized meme generation, research brief creation, and CRM updates. He also brings audience members on stage to do live growth hacking for their actual business problems. Beyond the product, this session goes deep on hiring. Varun shares the origin story of the GTM Engineer role, how it went from an internal job title for Clay's non-traditional sales team to the most in-demand position in B2B SaaS, and what he actually looks for when evaluating candidates (hint: it's creativity, not a traditional sales background). He talks about Clay's take-home process, work trials, why they hire generalists who commit to specific roles, and the surprising backgrounds of some of their best hires. Whether you're building out your go-to-market motion, thinking about how to use AI without losing what makes your brand unique, or just trying to figure out what a GTM Engineer actually does, this session covers it all. --------------------- This episode is Sponsored in part by HappyFox: Imagine having AI agents for every support task — one that triages tickets, another that catches duplicates, one that spots churn risks.

But when Ba incurs steep debts during the Great Depression, he sends her far from hope to his ancestral village.In remote Tai Ting Pong, in the Guangdong Province of China, she feels as foreign in the land of her heritage as in the country of her birth. She must survive hunger, dangerous superstitions, and Japanese invasion as the Sino-Japanese War begins.When guardian angels help her return to the U.S., it's a chance to seize her American dream.In this inspiring and heartfelt memoir, Karin K.

Invite the author to your book club discussion!From the AuthorThe Strength of Water is my mother's memoir, as told to me, starting in the 1920s and spanning nearly a century. It offers exquisite period details of immigrant life in the U.S. and village life in China.One woman's epic odyssey, one family's story of striving in a foreign country, one generation's unique memory. An amazing memoir where the “strength of water,” the power of resilience and adapting to any circumstance, is the common thread that flows through the whole family, connecting everyone's lives. Touching, inspiring, and brilliantly written.Shen Yang, Author of More Than One ChildThroughout my childhood, my mother told stories of growing up in her father's Detroit laundry business during the infancy of the automobile industry and later in a Cantonese village on the eve of the Sino-Japanese war. She also spoke of what it was like to survive as a live-in domestic worker and teen waitress in mid-century California.The Strength of Water is a daughter's careful excavation of her mother's story; it is a mother's disclosure of history, of trauma, of realities that mark not only her life but the legacy of her daughters'. This is a book written with tremendous love and authenticity. It is an important document of the Asian American experience.Kao Kalia Yang, Award winning author of The Song Poet and The LatehomecomerThese stories felt like mythology, far removed from my experiences growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, yet vital to preserve as history. When I decided to set them down, I could hear my mother's voice so clearly that I wrote in the first person.

SaaStr 840: From 1 Agent to 20+: The Reality of Managing Multiple AI Agents Across Your GTM with SaaStr's CEO and CAIO Eight months and 20+ AI agents later, what does managing a multi-agent GTM stack actually look like day to day? SaaStr's CEO and Founder, Jason Lemkin, and SaaStr's Chief AI Officer, Amelia Lerutte, get candid about what's working, and what's not. $4.8M in additional pipeline later, AI agents deployed across Go To Market have helped deal volume doubled and win rates double. But here's what nobody talks about on LinkedIn: the 15-20 hours per week each spent maintaining agents, the messy flows holding it all together, and why you still can't outrun your own AI. They cover the 90/10 build vs. buy rule, why hyper-segmentation is the key to AI SDR success, what to demand from vendors before signing, and why bad context will always produce bad emails, whether a human or an AI writes them. Plus, they walkthrough how they built SaaStr's custom AI VP of Marketing agent to plan and execute every campaign for the year, grounded entirely in data. If you've deployed your first agent and are thinking about what comes next, or you're skeptical the whole thing works at all, this one's for you. --------------------- This episode is Sponsored in part by HappyFox: Imagine having AI agents for every support task — one that triages tickets, another that catches duplicates, one that spots churn risks.

What if the way you react under stress isn't who you are, but a strategy you learned to feel safe? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kessler to explore the five personality patterns and how they quietly shape our behavior, relationships, and sense of safety. We talk about why these patterns are not personality labels, but early survival strategies that once helped us cope, and may still be running our lives today. Steven breaks down each pattern, leaving, merging, enduring, aggressive, and rigid. We explore how these patterns form in childhood, how they show up in the body, and how they play out in relationships, work, and moments of stress.  This conversation is an invitation to build self-awareness without self-judgment. When we can notice our patterns in real time, we gain more choice, more presence, and more freedom. If you're curious about your own patterns and ready to relate to yourself with more compassion, this episode will meet you right where you are.  === Guest Bio: Steven Kessler has been a psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 40 years, teaching both locally and internationally.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this week's Episode, Emily features Adriene Busch, a Bay Area fiber artist and weaver whose exhibition "Of Water" is currently on display at M Stark Gallery in Half Moon Bay. They chat at Adriene's home studio and discuss her artistic journey and creative process.Adriene grew up in Arizona making art but studied business in college, considering art impractical as a career. She continued creating throughout her education, exploring photography, ceramics, and painting. About 10 years ago, she discovered fiber arts through embroidery, which led her to weaving—a medium that combines everything she loved: the composition skills from photography, the tactile nature of ceramics, and the color mixing from painting.Her breakthrough came with "West Bay: A Love Letter," a large-scale aerial view of the Bay Area made with felted wool details like San Francisco skyscrapers. This piece was displayed at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Center for a year and caught the attention of gallerist Marianna Stark, who offered her the current exhibition.About Artist Adriene Busch:Adriene Busch is a contemporary weaver based in San Mateo, California. She has worked in various modes of fiber art since 2016, eventually committing fully to tapestry weaving. As a self-taught weaver, she finds great joy and satisfaction from artistic problem solving and in the continual development of her technical skills and artistic vision. She is intentional in her selection of materials, using color and texture to represent particular characteristics of her surroundings. As a tapestry weaver, she enjoys the many choices that working with fiber allows; in her pieces, color, texture, and composition interplay to create a balance between bold and neutral, flat and three-dimensional. Adriene's work reflects her personal connection to the world around her, creating pieces that embody her daily experiences.Visit Adriene's Website: WestBayFiber.comFollow Adriene on Instagram: @WestBayFiberFor more on Adriene's exhibition "Of Water" at the M Stark Gallery - CLICK HERE--About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

We explore how intelligent gifting breaks through AI-filtered inboxes, using psychology, data, and timing to earn real conversations and long-term loyalty. Kris Rudeegraap of Sendoso shares playbooks for stage-based sends, retention strategies, and staying human in an agentic future.• reciprocity, curiosity and tangible novelty driving attention• AI-assisted personalization for interests, timing and delivery channel• stage-based guardrails that unlock premium sends mid-funnel• timely low-cost sends outperforming expensive but irrelevant gifts• CAC, velocity and opportunity cost framing for ROI• shifting marketing metrics toward revenue and NRR• proving value when users never log into your app• human-in-the-loop creativity to avoid AI cringe• retention and expansion use cases for customer successA box at your door still beats the smartest subject line, sparks genuine conversations, and accelerates pipeline without feeling transactional. Kris blends a decade of logistics, a modern data engine, and a human-first ethos to explain why clever, timely sends often outperform expensive swag—and how to scale that tastefulness with AI.We dig into the psychology behind physical sending—reciprocity, curiosity, and the emotional lift of a tangible, personalized moment—and translate it into practical plays for sales, marketing, and customer success. You'll hear how stage-based guardrails in your CRM can unlock premium sends mid-funnel, why delivery confidence (home versus office) matters post‑COVID, and how small, useful gestures—like a rideshare credit on conference day—drive replies that mass email can't. Kris also shares how Sendoso is evolving from pure logistics to a data-rich recommendation layer that helps teams decide what to send, when to send, and where to deliver.We also explore the agentic future: AI agents summarizing inboxes, go‑to‑market engineers orchestrating workflows, and the reality that a human still signs the contract. Kris offers a candid view on pricing models, proving ROI when users never log into your app, and why NRR and expansion deserve a bigger share of marketing's attention. If you're ready to replace noise with nuance—earning meetings faster and strengthening renewals through meaningful touchpoints—this conversation gives you the framework and the guardrails to do it right.Kris Rudeegraap:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rudeegraap/Kris Rudeegraap, the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Sendoso, the leading Direct Mail and Gifting Platform which has seen over $250M+ spent on the platform globally.  A self-described "Sales CEO" who is redefining how B2B companies cut through the digital noise to build authentic relationships,  Before founding Sendoso, he was a top-performing Account Executive at Talkdesk and a founding team member at Piqora.  Kris is a California native, an alumnus of California State University, Chico and currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

In today's episode, guest host Nermin Allam, director of Women's and Gender Studies and associate professor of political science at Rutgers University – Newark, speaks with Rusha Latif, author of Tahrir's Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution, to reflect on remembering and commemorating the January 25th uprising.The January 25th uprising, which led to the ousting of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, remains one of the most consequential moments in Egypt's modern political history. The uprising restructured political imagination, reordered lives, and briefly redefined what felt possible.Every year, January 25th asks something of us. It asks us to remember. It asks us to reckon. And it asks us to return carefully and critically to a moment that continues to unsettle our present. This episode is part of that reckoning. As we mark the anniversary of the uprising, we are joined by Rusha Latif to revisit the experiences of the young people who animated that moment and who carried its weight forward long after the chants faded and the public space closed.The conversation invites us to resist simplification and to honor the complexity of a revolutionary moment whose political afterlives still shape how we understand protest, possibility, and loss. It invites listeners to consider what it means to commemorate a revolution in a time when its promises remain unfinished.BiographyRusha Latif is an Egyptian-American researcher and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work focuses on social movements and revolutions in the Middle East, with an emphasis on leadership, organization, and collective action across lines of class, gender, religion, and ideology. Her research has been featured on NPR, Al Jazeera, and Jadaliyya.

In this episode, I'm joined by IFS therapist, consultant, and author Max Littman, LCSW, for a deeply meaningful conversation about his groundbreaking new book: Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out Max's work centers the lived experiences of gay and queer men through an Internal Family Systems lens, offering a compassionate, culturally attuned resource for healing after the coming out process—when many parts, burdens, and relational dynamics can become activated in new ways. This episode is filled with tenderness, truth, and the powerful reminder that taking up space creates space—and that vulnerability can become an invitation for collective healing.   We Discuss: Why Max wrote a companion for AFTER coming out, rather than before The emotional and relational layers that can emerge in the years following coming out How cultural burdens within gay and queer communities can shape internal parts and protective strategies The importance of representation, visibility, and storytelling as a form of collective unburdening Max's personal experience navigating identity, attachment, and healing after coming out The powerful role of media and relational narratives, including reflections on Heated Rivalry and the impact of seeing queer struggle and love portrayed honestly An IFS-informed practice "The Pool Party" for meeting and understanding different parts Max's heartfelt message to gay and queer men seeking deeper connection, healing, and wholeness Max reminds us that healing doesn't stop once someone comes out. In many ways, it's only the beginning of a deeper internal journey—one that includes meeting the parts shaped by shame, longing, belonging, protection, and cultural expectation. This conversation offers a supportive and empowering path toward Self-leadership, authenticity, and relational healing.   About Max Littman: Max Littman, LCSW, is an IFS therapist, consultant, and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work focuses on attunement, attachment, cultural burdens, and relational and neurobiological understandings of trauma. He specializes in working with gay and queer men and provides mentorship to therapists in private practice. Max has served as a Program Assistant for IFS Level 1 and Somatic IFS Step 2 trainings. He is also the author of a widely read IFS blog exploring themes such as the weaponization of Self, the practice of attunement, and the importance of normalizing therapeutic missteps. His new book is the first IFS book to center gay and queer men: Internal Family Systems Therapy for Gay and Queer Men: A Companion for After Coming Out   Links & Resources: Max's Website: https://maxlittman.com/ Order the Book: https://a.co/d/6WA6iIO   Final Message: If you are a gay or queer man navigating identity, relationships, belonging, or the inner world that unfolds after coming out—this episode and Max's book offer a compassionate companion for the journey. And for therapists, allies, and loved ones who want to better understand and support the gay and queer experience, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of culturally attuned, representation-centered healing spaces.   _____________________________________ Want to work with Natalie?

John Corcoran is a recovering attorney, an author, and a former White House writer and speechwriter to the Governor of California. Throughout his career, John has worked in Hollywood, the heart of Silicon Valley, and run his boutique law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, catering to small business owners and entrepreneurs. Since 2012, John has been the host of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast, where he has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, founders, authors, and entrepreneurs, including Peter Diamandis, Adam Grant, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Marie Forleo. John is also the Co-founder of Rise25, a company that connects B2B businesses with their ideal clients, referral partners, and strategic partners. They help their clients generate ROI through their done-for-you podcast service. In this episode… It's easy to get stuck obsessing over downloads, promotion tactics, and growth hacks before you ever hit publish. But what if the real key to podcast success has less to do with flashy marketing and more to do with how you show up and who you serve? How should podcasters actually think about promotion if they want results that matter? For John Corcoran, the key lies in not overcomplicating promotion before the podcast even exists. He explains that many people fall into analysis paralysis, worrying about promotion instead of launching, having real conversations, and letting the show evolve. His perspective reframes podcasting as a long-term relationship and partnership strategy, not a vanity numbers game, which ultimately leads to more meaningful growth and business impact Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews John Corcoran about smart podcast promotion strategies. They discuss why launching matters more than over-optimizing, how guest-driven growth really works, and why staying within the same medium boosts results. John also delves into partnerships, positioning, and why downloads shouldn't be your main focus.

IMDB Synopsis: “Follows an aspiring actress working on a U.S. military base that simulates an Iraqi war zone.” Mercy (2026; Timur Bekmambetov) GRADE: C- *Now playing everywhere. IMDB Synopsis: “In the near future, a detective stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge he once championed, before it determines his fate.” It’s a new year and a new podcast for world-famous film critic Daniel Barnes! Known for his provocative yet family-friendly brand of humor, Daniel brings along his beloved cast of puppet characters, including grumpy old man Walter, the irascible Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and Bubba J, a stereotypical NASCAR enthusiast…oh wait, that’s ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. Daniel Barnes is just a guy who reviews movies. This week, Daniel offers his Single Take on Alia Shawkat in Atropia, an overstuffed yet underdeveloped satire about an ambitious actress role-playing revolutionaries in elaborately staged war games. He also looks at Mercy, a sci-fi whodunit starring Chris Pratt as a cop-on-the-edge trying to find “the real killers” before artificial intelligence seals his fate. Listen along as Daniel begs mercy for January unicorns, CD-ROM murder mysteries and 20-year-old The Daily Show jokes.

If you're into comics and graphic novels, you probably know of Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud. Telgemeier rose to "first-name-only status" among middle-grade readers with her adaptations of The Babysitters Club and award-winning autobiographical graphic novels including Smile and Guts. Scott McCloud is a leading comics theorist, having spoken and written about the art form since the 1980s. In fact, Telgemeier credits McCloud's work for inspiring her when she was a teenager. Now these two leading artists come together to discuss the unique power of comics and their new graphic novel, The Cartoonists Club. Their book centers around four characters: Makayla, who is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story; Howard, who loves to draw but struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time; Lynda, who constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes; and Art, who simply loves being creative. Throughout the book, Telgemeier and McCloud infuse how-to advice on comics creation that, they hope, will inspire a new wave of cartoonists. They both have seen renewed enthusiasm for the genre, especially among younger readers and are teaming up to provide an entertaining and practical guide to the magic of comics storytelling. Raina Telgemeier is the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award–winning creator of Smile, Sisters, and Guts, which are all graphic memoirs based on her childhood. She is also the creator of Drama and Ghosts, and is the adapter and illustrator of the first four Baby-sitters Club graphic novels. Facing Feelings: The Art of Raina Telgemeier is a companion catalog for an exhibition held at Ohio State University's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Raina lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. To learn more, visit her online at goraina.com. Scott McCloud is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art; Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels; Zot!; and The Sculptor. He is a frequent lecturer on the power of visual communication, creator of the international 24-hour comic movement, and, in 2021, was inducted into the Will Eisner Awards Hall of Fame.

SaaStr 838: The Present and Future of AI in Sales and GTM with SaaStr's CEO and Owner's CRO Jason Lemkin on Going All-In on AI Agents: 20 Agents, Zero SDRs, and the Death of Mid-Pack Sales Jason Lemkin, Founder and CEO of SaaStr, sits down with Kyle Norton, CRO at Owner, to share the raw story of how frustration with sales team turnover pushed him to deploy 20 AI agents in under a year, and why we'll never go back. In this episode, we cover: → Why Jason stopped hiring SDRs after two senior reps ghosted him right before SaaStr Annual → The real reason most AI agent deployments fail (hint: it's not the technology) → How to pick your first AI vendor: "Talk to your forward deployed engineer before you sign" → Why Salesforce is having a Renaissance as the hub for AI agents → The brutal truth about mid-pack sales jobs being in "terminal decline" → How to get started with AI agents when your CFO won't give you budget → AgentForce vs. the hot startups: what actually works in production → Why the $250K SDR is coming, but only for the truly elite Jason's advice for revenue leaders: "Roll up your sleeves. If you haven't trained an agent yourself, you'll be utterly ignorant in the age of AI."

My guest this week is Tony Trischka, who returns to chat about the New York bluegrass scene in the early 1970s.New York and the surrounding area played a huge role in the development of bluegrass and in the genesis of what would become known as New Acoustic music. Tony talks about the early days of his career, including the bands Country Cooking and Breakfast Special and the overlap between that scene and the birth of Rounder Records. We also chat about some of the musicians who came out of the New York scene in the 1960s and 70s, including David Grisman, Andy Statman, Stacy Phillips, Russ Barenberg and Bela Fleck, and how those players began to collaborate with the musicians emerging from the San Francisco Bay Area and Nashville scenes.Tony also talks about his early solo albums, including Banjoland, Hill Country and (a personal favourite of mine) A Robot Plane Flies over Arkansas.It was, as always, a treat chatting with Tony. I hope you enjoy this one.If you missed the David Grisman Quintet episodes we mention, you'll find them here:Part 1 (Darol & Mike) - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/celebrating-50-years-of-the-david-grisman-quintet-part/id1556697198?i=1000711133817Part 2 (Todd) - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/celebrating-50-years-of-the-david-grisman-quintet-part/id1556697198?i=1000712407689Part 3 (David) - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/celebrating-50-years-of-the-david-grisman-quintet-part/id1556697198?i=1000713402530 Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, they are joined by Ravi Agarwal, MD, from Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area in San Ramon. In this episode, they discussed the unique fertility challenges for women over 40 trying to conceive. Challenges include changes in egg number and egg quality that can affect their chances of conception and carrying a pregnancy. The hosts and their guest discuss how age impacts fertility, how testing guides treatment decisions, and why a personalized approach is essential. During this episode, the docs answered the following questions: What are the biggest fertility challenges women face after age 40? Women over 40 commonly experience both a decreased number of eggs and declining egg quality. As eggs age, they are more likely to have genetic abnormalities, which can make conception more difficult and increase the risk of miscarriage. Why does egg quality decline with age? Egg quality declines due to age-related genetic changes. A higher percentage of eggs become chromosomally abnormal over time, making it harder to achieve a healthy pregnancy. What fertility testing is recommended for women over 40? Testing often includes: AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) to estimate ovarian reserve. Antral follicle count via ultrasound to assess how many eggs are present in the ovaries. These tests help predict treatment response and guide next steps. Can having more eggs help offset poor egg quality? In some women over 40, a higher egg number may partially compensate for reduced egg quality, increasing the likelihood of finding a genetically healthy egg. Do all women over 40 need IVF? No. Not every woman over 40 requires IVF. Some women can conceive without treatment, some are good IVF candidates, and others may not benefit from IVF at all. How do doctors decide which treatment is best after age 40? Treatment decisions are individualized and based on age, egg reserve, egg quality, medical history, and personal goals.

It's so great to be back with you! In a real estate transaction when a pest report comes back with issues, buyers are often offered a credit instead of having the work completed.

SaaStr 837: 10 Things To Do Right Now  to Become AI Native with Filevine's CEO & Founder Ryan Anderson, Co-Founder and CEO of Filevine, shares the playbook for how his legal tech company successfully transitioned from a traditional SaaS business to an AI-native company, now generating more new revenue from AI products than their core SaaS platform. With 6,000 customers, 700 employees, and $200M+ ARR growing at nearly 60%, Filevine has cracked the code on AI transformation. Ryan breaks down the strategic, technical, and cultural changes required to make the shift. Key Takeaways: Nothing is Sacred – Be prepared to tear down working systems that don't serve your AI future. Use a simple framework: keep what's critical to your competitive moat and keeps you fast; eliminate what slows you down. Content → Context – Your SaaS data becomes the competitive advantage when it serves as context for AI agents. Think Cher's closet in Clueless—you need both the organized system AND the AI. Restructure Your Architecture – AI can't just be "sprinkled on top." Your ML team needs to own the AI data layer and iterate daily without bottlenecks. Hire AI Natives – They want access to rich data and distribution. Sell them on what you have that AI-only startups don't. Consider Acquisitions – Filevine acquired Parrot to jumpstart their ML capabilities. Speed matters. Rebrand with Intent – Signal the change internally and externally. It's symbolic but powerful. Obsess Over Usage – If you can't measure it, don't ship it. Track DAU/WAU/MAU religiously. Leverage Your Data – Control API access, monitor AI traffic for product ideas, and don't give away your advantage for free. Price to Dominate – Your high SaaS margins let you undercut AI-only competitors on blended gross margin. Build One Product – Stop selling to customers who won't buy AI. Assume AI is implicit in everything you build. About the Speaker: Ryan Anderson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Filevine, an AI-powered legal operating system. Under his leadership, Filevine has achieved 96% gross revenue retention and 124% net revenue retention while successfully pivoting to AI-native operations. --------------------- This episode is Sponsored in part by HappyFox: Imagine having AI agents for every support task — one that triages tickets, another that catches duplicates, one that spots churn risks. That'd be pretty amazing, right? HappyFox just made it real with Autopilot. These pre-built AI agents deploy in about 60 seconds and run for as low as 2 cents per successful action. All of it sits inside the HappyFox omnichannel, AI-first support stack — Chatbot, Copilot, and Autopilot working as one. Check them out at happyfox.com/saastr --------------------- Hey everybody, the biggest B2B + AI event of the year will be back - SaaStr AI in the SF Bay Area, aka the SaaStr Annual, will be back in May 2026.  With 68% VP-level and above, 36% CEOs and founders and a growing 25% AI-first professional, this is the very best of the best S-tier attendees and decision makers that come to SaaStr each year.  But here's the reality, folks: the longer you wait, the higher ticket prices can get.
