Scale Founder Alexandr Wang: AI Will Eclipse the Internet & Smartphone Revolutions

"My honest take is it's going to be bigger than all of the past trends.

The potential disruption of the $16 trillion of services GDP - that's the TAM. That's the potential of AI.

That's where you can potentially transform to be 10x more productive, 10x better for the consumer, and 10x economically more efficient in every way.

You can't imagine an economic opportunity bigger than that."

@alexandr_wang with @loganbartlett on the @loganbartshow

[Axon @axon_enterprise]

For 30 years, Rick Smith has led with a bold vision: make the bullet obsolete.

On The Logan Bartlett Show, Axon CEO + Founder @AxonRick shares how that vision has driven over 30 years of innovation — from pioneering TASER energy weapons to scaling body-worn cameras, and now leading the charge with AI-powered solutions like Draft One and Axon Assistant.

We shot a test episode of this with two founders and it turned out great. Some kinks to work through so we're going to shoot another test before launching. 

If you're (ideally) a Series A or B founder and want in on getting direct feedback on a specific problem from people like @zachweinberg and this time I think a guest legendary founder dm me.

Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl: How to Build a Startup Team

"We had to build a team where the incumbents were culturally the antithesis of what we needed to be.

I am not aware of any Boeing entrepreneurial people.

We had to find people who are incredibly good technically, but also have the right startup gearing ratio to move fast and be efficient."
