@JonathanRoss321 One of the best episodes I’ve watched. Took so much away from it. Loved how honest you were about your early struggles as a leader. Really inspiring.
@pitdesi Feels similar to what happened with Bonobos. Originally sold to Wal-mart, then sold by Wal-mart to Express, then sold to a consortium of real estate + private equity. Not sure how their products are made anymore either. Their original products were great though.
A lot of VCs use founder age as a proxy for how well they’ll leverage LLMs and the latest AI. In my experience, the stronger signal is how technical they are. Technical founders understand how LLMs work and can exploit them fully; non-technical founders see magic, not mechanisms.
the more worlds you have a toe in, the more perspective, data, and empathy you gain. am surprised how few careers are truly interdisciplinary (e.g. media, tech, product, and design) especially as so many fields collide in the era ahead.
next gen careers will look different
