Launch day! I'm so excited to share "The General Podcast," a true labor of love and almost a year in the making. 💥
It's a 'hostless' show that pairs founders, execs & creatives for fly-on-the-wall conversations on craft, curiosity & building (because maybe the world doesn’t need more VCs talking…).
Ep 1: @lil_dill x @randyjhunt
Ep 2: A healthcare journo x a pulitzer-prize winning author
Ep 3: Two founders shaping the future of media
Ep 4: Two legendary COOs
Huge thanks to @phineasb & @thegp team for backing creative swings that challenge sameness.
Listen and send me guest pairings you’d love to see :)

Our portfolio company, https://t.co/EJ43nSIYXV, on @tbpn talking about their interactive AI TV show, "Whispers," and how the art form of entertainment is changing with AI.
Humans and AI collaborating at work is cool but you know what's really cool? Humans and AI collaborating for entertainment - @thegp portfolio company Pickford showed Hollywood what it looks like last night and @Forbes wrote about "AI informed Cinema": https://t.co/n0PHFifOLv
NEW from The General Podcast: the "design founder" episode.
@brian_lovin x @wjosephflynn
Before this conversation, Brian and Joey had never actually met, but had surprisingly parallel careers.
Both spent early years at Facebook, both started multiple companies, both found their way into some of the most design-forward product orgs today, and both were nominated to come on the show by legendary design leader, @soleio.
This one's for the designers. Tune in👇🎧
Congrats to @RattrayAlex and the entire @StainlessAPI team. I remember a few walks in NYC that raised my bar on founder determination, clarity of purpose and market understanding. Great work Alex and thanks for choosing to build with @thegp
Or go to the Presidio, jump in the ocean, get a coffee at The Mill, watch sunset at Twin Peaks, ride a bike anywhere, see live music, eat a burrito, take a grass nap in GG Park, have beer at The Page, watch the Bay Bridge lights, wander Chinatown, wander Ferry building, run across GG Bridge, walk Fort Funston, eat the best meal of your life with friends…drive any direction for 2hrs. And be deeply grateful for the heavenscape you live in.
Interesting piece from @chrissyfarr today on the rise of in-house journalists at healthcare companies. I think we're going to see a lotttt more of this everywhere (and already are i.e. TBPN x OpenAI)
