In this episode, Zachary Smith, CEO and co-founder of Datum and previously the founder of Packet (acquired by Equinix for $335M) and Voxel (acquired for $35M), joins Liam to explain why the internet is about to undergo its biggest transformation since the cloud. As AI agents, vibe coding, and thousands of new applications flood the web, Zac believes the open internet model we've relied on for decades is breaking down. Zac argues that every person, every company, and eventually every AI agent will need its own private network. He explains why the future internet may look more like the Visa network than today's public web, how digital sovereignty and geopolitics are reshaping infrastructure, and why developers are increasingly relying on dozens of cloud services rather than just the hyperscalers. The conversation also dives into Zac's unlikely journey from Juilliard-trained musician to building and exiting two infrastructure companies, the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, and why he keeps coming back to startups despite already having financial freedom. Key Topics Covered Zach's journey from Juilliard and classical music to building infrastructure companies Building Voxel and selling the company for $35M Starting Packet and its $335M acquisition by Equinix Why AI agents are creating a security problem for the internet Why every person and company may eventually need a private network The difference between the public internet and private internet Why the future internet could resemble the Visa network Digital sovereignty, geopolitics, and the splintering of the internet Why developers increasingly rely on dozens of cloud providers How AI is turning millions of people into software developers APIs, MCP, and the next phase of application architecture Why Zach believes AI agents should only talk to approved systems Open source, network effects, and Datum's long-term vision The emotional side of entrepreneurship and why community matters more than money Episode Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and welcome 00:06 Zach's background: from Juilliard and classical bass to startups 02:44 Building Voxel and the early cloud era 08:44 Starting Packet, raising capital, and the Equinix acquisition 15:28 Why taking time off helped him dream again 18:02 What Datum does and the idea of a network cloud 19:38 Three forces changing the internet 20:41 Hyperscalers explained: Amazon, Google, and Microsoft 24:52 Why new cloud providers are emerging 27:16 Digital sovereignty and the fragmentation of the internet 32:03 Public internet vs. private internet 32:54 Inside the physical "meet me rooms" that connect the internet 39:49 How internet routing actually works 45:56 Why developers use so many cloud providers 48:10 APIs, MCP, and AI agents 51:07 Why the future internet may resemble the Visa network 54:23 Who Datum's customers are, and why Datum is open source 1:03:07 AI agents and the next generation of software 1:07:50 Why Zach keeps building companies, and why he does what he does Connect with Zac: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zsmith/ Website: https://www.datum.net/ Partner Links Upgrade your AI toolkit: https://www.theaireport.ai/ai-executive-pass Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://newsletter.theaireport.ai/subscribe Join the community: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

Alan Saunders & Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss who we think can still win jobs on the 53-man roster during the preseason.
