Maybe Brian has someone ghost posting for him

I highly recommend against this

Letting someone else put words in your mouth (whether human or LLM) is a terrible idea

It’s ok to have them draft and you review, but NEVER cut yourself out of the loop and hand over the keys

If you’re passing off accountability for your very ideas to spare yourself a modicum of effort, what else are you phoning in?

@DrewPavlou I lived in SF for 5 years and go back every year to visit. Being in SF/the US is a jolt of energy and enthusiasm that you don't see here in Australia. SF is a city of smart, ambitious people and I don't see it at scale in Australia.

Some people have RBF. Dario has Resting Smile Face

Normally RSF is endearing and good for trust!

But when talking about war or job loss or x-risk it becomes a big liability, especially when his face overrides his words

As an employment lawyer & entrepreneur who’s built a business employing hundreds, I call bullshit on scrapping the CGT discount in the name of ‘fairness’.
Labor claims it’s about ‘balancing labour and capital’ yet politicians, public servants and academics get taxpayer-funded super at 15.4–17%, while private sector workers get just 12%.
Their excuse? ‘It’s part of their package.’ So why punish risk-takers and job creators, but protect special tax incentives for the political class? Chalmers, Albo - care to explain?

Big data in our new jobs report from 3.5M+ employees around the world: 1 in 3 people now have multiple jobs. That’s the ‘new normal’ for a workforce under pressure. You need to see the rest of this.

I’m truly honored to share my story on Episode #206 of The High Flyers Podcast with @vidags10. From building Employment Hero into a global HR tech platform to navigating the challenges of my son’s rare disease, this conversation dives deep into the lessons, missteps, and mindset that have shaped my journey. A huge thanks to Vidit for the thoughtful discussion! I’d love to hear from you, what’s been your biggest lesson in balancing personal challenges with professional growth?

Lessons from Scaling to $250M ARR 🚀
💥 A huge milestone for Employment Hero—$250M ARR & profitability!
This journey wouldn’t be possible without our customers, our Heroes, and our partners. Thank you for being part of this mission—this milestone belongs to you as much as it does to us.
Scaling globally has taught me invaluable lessons:
✅ Solve real problems—Make life easier for businesses, and growth will follow.
✅ Think global early—Plan for scale from the start.
✅ AI & automation are game-changers—Efficiency drives success.
✅ Your people matter most—Build the right team for the next stage.
✅ Stay resilient & data-driven—Adapt, learn, and execute with focus.
This is just the beginning. Onward and upward! 🚀
I’ve shared these insights in a new blog post
We’re also incredibly proud to see this milestone covered by the Australian Financial Review—check it out below.

Brisbane-based corporate training tech unicorn Go1 has closed the biggest deal in its history, to buy popular German book and podcast summary subscription service Blinkist, after raising capital at an increased valuation over $3 billion. https://t.co/09rX6WYo4x

@saibellanyc @MikelleStreet @Veronique956 Can you share who it was?

[Lulu Cheng Meservey @lulumeservey]

Comms can make or break companies, though usually not this fast.

I like and respect the SVB team and hope they can recover.

This collapse over the past day was a useful reminder for me about how high the stakes are for comms and messaging, and I hope it’s useful for others too.
