Brian Chesky: "People are born good founders. It's innate. You don't have to learn how to be good founder. No one is born a good CEO. The problem is we founders were never really prepared to be great CEOs. We were taught to learn by doing and that's great for a founder. It is not good as a CEO. I was naturally good founder, I think I was a very good early stage CEO. The moment I had to have an executive team, I really struggled to make the shift from a founder to CEO. In the 2010s, I do not think I was a great CEO. We paid the price for my learning curve. And then the pandemic happened. We had a near death experience and I said screw all the rumination it's do or die. And I learned how to do the job."

Panel discussions usually suck. This one didn't (for the AI community). It is of NVIDIA CEO/founder Jensen Huang interviewing 10 CEOs from frontier AI labs about what's happening in Open Models. In audience was thousands of the world's top AI thinkers. CEOs on stage in the first part: Harrison Chase, CEO of Langchain. Mira Murati, CEO of Thinking Machines. Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity. Michael Truell, CEO of Cursor. Misha Laskin, CEO of Reflection Labs. CEOs on stage in the second part: Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral. Daniel Nadler, CEO of OpenEvidence. Hanna Hajishirzi, CEO of Ai2. Robin Rombach, CEO of Black Forest Labs. Anjney Midha, CEO of AMP. It was funny how Jensen gave Arthur heck for his accent. But it was true, it was hard to understand what he was talking about for a while. Here is the transcript and what Grok learned by watching this: Grok concludes: "If you're interested in where AI applications and infrastructure are heading in the next 1–3 years, this panel is a goldmine of unfiltered CEO-level insight."

Suddenly you have $200 to $300 billion web3 ecosystem and the $1.2 trillion Bitcoin asset, and now you combine these two and this ecosystem as a whole becomes extremely big." - Sandeep Nailwal, Sandeep | CEO, Polygon Foundation (※,※) of Polygon | POL at Bitcoin Renaissance.

Ye olde CEO playbook I used in building HubSpot is broken. From Jensen Huang’s 60 direct reports to the way Elon runs his empire to Brian Chesky’s founder mode – it's a reboot. This new playbook is something I’m very curious about so I started a special interview series with some of the best CEOs out there to try to learn what new plays are working from startup to scaleup and beyond. If you are a CEO or future CEO, join me on the Long Strange Trip series starting on Thursday with Parker Conrad of Rippling’s own Long Strange (CEO) Trip.
