@GabbbarSingh I am one of the Father above. The two Indias converge and share a common dream.
Both are friends .. Lets not try and create another divide.
My guest today is Brian Chesky (@bchesky), founder and CEO of Airbnb and one of the great consumer founders of the last 20 years.
Paul Graham coined "founder mode" based on Brian's experience running Airbnb. This conversation is about what comes after it, what he calls AI founder mode, and how it will force founders to focus even more on the details.
We talk about his eleven-star exercise for finding product market fit, why your first hire should be a recruiter, and why Airbnb's $100B IPO became one of the saddest days of his life.
Brian still comes across like the 17 year-old at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) who picked to study industrial design. His heroes are all artists. Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Walt Disney, and Steve Jobs, all of whom were working the week they died because they loved what they did.
Rick Rubin taught him that an artist is only an artist when they make things for themselves. Now Brian believes AI is the opportunity for all of us to do the same.
Enjoy!

What kind of sick mentality takes someones life for their beliefs and views ?
I never seen Charlie Kirk behaving bad with anyone and he engaged with wild wild lefties.
The social media unfortunately has become a tool for too much hatred and some losers take it another level.
Kirk was one of his kind and very difficult for someone to fill in.
May his soul rest in peace.
Main goal of capital markets is to give stability and instruments by which traders can hedge and speculate.
You can tighten the margin requirement and look at financual education or net worth.
But closing down the instruments is detrimental and won't solve the original issue.
Ppl will find other means to burn their money.
@AgentSaffron This has mostly to with proximity to trade routes and ports.
South politicians are as much if not more corrupt than North. The north ones ( read Bihar and UP ) are just inept/incapable as well.
#Haryana bucking the trend as always.
I went extremely light on my positions on Thursday.
As of now I m not sure how markets would open. So it was a great a decision to not keep thinking about it and lose sleep.
Sonetimes, A decision to not trade is also a great trading decision.
