Aidan Gomez (Aidan Gomez) is a computer scientist, co-author of the seminal paper ‘Attention Is All You Need,’ and the CEO of Cohere. In this episode, we discussed his upbringing in the cabin his grandfather built in Codrington, a small town North of Brighton, and the values that were instilled in him through his family. We explored his path from Codrington to his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, emailing Geoffrey Hinton, and joining Google Brain where he co-wrote the paper on transformers. We discussed how he met his co-founders Ivan Zhang and Nick Frosst, and his insights on what it means to build a meaningful, successful company in Canada. Aidan shares his conviction about what is at stake — for Canada and for the world at large. This is a conversation about family, values, and what it means to live with conviction. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin — filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

My conversation with Frank J. Guzzone, the Head of Design at Thrive Capital. Frank’s career journey is an unconventional one. He started as a medical scribe at a hospital center outside of DC before switching careers and moving to New York City to work with some of the largest global brands, and most recently building the design function at Thrive Capital from the ground up. His design philosophy blends scientific rigor with creative intuition. In his mind, the best design feels effortless, but you should sweat every detail to get there. Frank is an incredible designer and an even better person. We discuss his life story, the mechanics of great design, how to name a company, his work at Thrive and much more. Hope you enjoy!

Matthias Wandel is an engineer, woodworker, and YouTuber who runs the most-viewed woodworking channel on YouTube. He was an early employee at Research In Motion, assigned employee number 13. Yacine (kache) is an engineer and artist, formerly at X and Stripe. Both of them are tinkerers, explorers, and builders in their own right. They poke at the world, build and test things for themselves, and develop their own understanding. In this conversation, we traced a single thread through Matthias’s entire life: what happens when you grow up in a place where the only way to have something is to make it yourself, and then never stop. We started in Northern Ontario, in his dad’s workshop on a gravel road where the nearest store was an hour away, and followed that instinct through his first encounters with computers, a Bic-pen dot matrix printer on a Commodore 64, two brothers with two machines in a basement heated by a wood stove, lock picking in the Waterloo service tunnels, and what it means to be a nerd. Matthias and Yacine went back and forth on simplicity vs. ease, what LLMs change about the relationship between understanding and building, and why the probability of code getting reused is inverse to the effort you spend making it reusable. Matthias walked through building the DigiSync barcode reader for the motion picture industry, writing almost all the firmware for RIM’s first wireless modem in DSP assembly, watching BlackBerry’s network traffic flip on 9/11, and what it was like to work alongside Mike Lazaridis. He explained why he left BlackBerry while sales were at their peak and how a bandwidth constraint accidentally made his first viral YouTube video. This is a conversation about constraints that become capability, capability that becomes independence, and independence that becomes something you pass on. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

Steph Ango (kepano) is a designer, entrepreneur, and the CEO of Obsidian. In this episode, we discussed his journey from creating Winamp skins to leading Obsidian, and the fundamental patterns and inclinations that drive everything he explores and makes. We discussed Obsidian on multiple different dimensions, his deluxe chocolate chip cookie recipe, his exploration through furniture design, and his default inclination to push “too far” into anything he is exploring. Steph Ango demo'd the design process of several furniture projects he’s been working on at home as well as a custom piano learning app he created to teach himself music theory. This is a conversation about craftsmanship, pursuing a deep understanding, and what that reveals about who we are. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin — filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

"You just can't build a slow, expensive blockchain anymore." Solana founder toly 🇺🇸 built a $47 billion network from an idea he couldn't sleep on. Two coffees and a beer at Cafe du Soleil in 2017, and he was up until 4 a.m., figuring out how to use proof of work to measure time. His parents escaped the USSR in the 90s with $50 to their name and landed in Chicago in their 40s. His mom was a pianist. His dad was a civil engineer who took blue-collar roofing jobs while getting his electrician certificates. His son did the circuit analysis homework for him. That 4 a.m. idea became proof of history, the core mechanism behind Solana.

My conversation with Ari Emanuel centers on the multibillion-dollar "anti-AI bet" he’s making on live events, sports, and IP. As AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the economic value will concentrate in live and physical experiences. It’s the thesis behind a portfolio that includes the marquee assets in live entertainment -- the UFC, WWE, and his new company MARI, which owns Frieze and the Miami and Madrid Opens. We talk about why he’s betting so heavily on that future, how AI will change content and IP, and the simple principles that have guided his success. Ari is relentlessly aggressive in pursuit of what he wants, and that intensity comes through in this conversation. Enjoy! Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:53 Spotting the Potential of the UFC 8:01 Dyslexia and Relentless Drive 9:00 Jeff Bezos' Advice 12:45 Power Dynamics in Content Distribution 20:14 Live Events as the "Anti-AI" Bet 25:08 Monetizing Premium Experiences 41:16 Using the Phone as a Weapon 46:35 Betting on Elon 52:41 The Art of Dealmaking 1:15:08 The Kindest Thing
