Got interviewed by Stripe. We talk about: – why I charge from day one, – why I only build things I personally need, – and how a stranger in Bali once recommended my own product back to me without knowing I built it. Also got into the real stuff:... show more

.Thomas Laffont got a job in CAA’s mailroom by calling every day for six months: "There was one agent who had gone to Yale, Sally Wilcox. I called her every day for six months at the same time." "Finally one day I got a call back from her and she says, 'What's it going to take for you to stop calling me?'" "I said, 'I want an interview.'" "She said, 'If you agree to move to LA and you call me after, I'll get you an interview.'" "I moved the first week of June after I graduated. I called her and said, 'Remember you told me if I moved, you would give me the interview?' and she did. I interviewed and was my first day in the CAA mailroom was July 7th, 1997."

Brady Anderson got Trey Mancini back into baseball, now they reunite again with the Angels: "He's the one who got me back into the game in the first place. He texted me 2 summers ago when I wasn't playing in 2024... I was just playing tennis and pickleball twice a day and Brady texted me and basically told me he thinks I need to give it another shot... I went out with him a few months later and that's what got me back into the game"

I spent a week ignoring everyone who said to switch engines. Day 7, I pivot. You were right. Building GTA 6 with a loop of AI agents. I spent the entire day on one thing: Swapping the project out of Godot and onto Unreal. Yesterday I said I'd test Unity and probably skip Unreal. You guys pushed back hard: if you're serious about AAA, get on a real engine. so here we are. What a full day of "just setup" actually looks like: - Installed and configured Unreal - Fought it onto a Mac build (the metal toolchain nearly ended me) - Migrated the project over - Got into a real Map and building assets - Got a scene rendering with real lighting First time this actually looks like GTA instead of a prototype of it. I'm still wiring the agents into the editor and point the loop at a real engine. Feedback is appreciated!

We live in the solo founder era. That's for sure and building with AI has accelerated. I am building software to use for myself and replace the expensive tools I used to use. And partially thanks to AI we can build faster, but not dramatically faster if you want to build a commercial grade product. Before I was using a live chat and customer support tool that costed around 50-100$ a month. This helped me to interact with the customers of my agency or prospects. But I decided a few months ago to build my own and stop paying for these more expensive solutions. I did and turned into a product for everyone to use. The build was not 1-2 hours of work using AI, but it was a several-month process on and off as I needed it. Finally, it has turned into a commercial grade product. I have built several of these and this is when we will see more and more solutions like these. Let's start bootstrapping before showing MRR figures.

I don't go into meetings and talk about $50 million or $100 million. We talk billions. The companies I’ve dealt with always talk billions. When they take you to their factories, they show you the industry and what they’ve accomplished. It gives me encouragement as a black man, knowing I can also achieve that. I see it elsewhere, and that’s why I believe in it.

.Chris Bungard reveals that the nickname ‘The Bad Guy’ actually comes from the darkest day of his life: “We got in a fight in a football park, and I threw one punch… he swallowed his tongue and he took a seizure. That was the darkest day of my life. I got taken to a police cell, and I didn’t really know how the boy was or stuff like that... It made me look at life a bit differently, I matured a wee bit.”

"We had a three-hour interview with [Grusch]. I felt like we got some new stuff, and probably not things I can talk about on a podcast. We were...discouraged from actually including it." (Thanks to David Haith. I, too, wish Caleb would have tried to get more out of Robinson on who convinced him to take Grusch out of their documentary, and more importantly, why. Missed opportunity, IMO.) Dr. Brett Robinson: "We actually interviewed David Grusch, the whistleblower from two years ago, I guess, now. We had a three-hour interview with him. I felt like we got some new stuff, and probably not things I can talk about on a podcast." (If it was in the interview, which you decided to scrub, why not talk about what he said? I once had someone ask me to not publish a transcript. I checked with a few folks to make sure I was in the right and published it any way. No harm, no foul.) Robinson: "But, we were, let's say, discouraged from actually including it in the final [documentary?]." Caleb Mayo (Caleb Mayo): "Discouraged by Mr. Grusch, or by other people?" Robinson: "Other people." (If it wasn't Grusch who asked Robinson not to include it, he was under no obligation to abide by their wishes. I may think differently if I knew who asked him, and the reason, but I know he's not gonna share that. More than one person? Someone connected to the world of Intel? This is disappointing.) Mayo: "Oh my. Oh geez, this is everybody's least favorite part of the conversation is the shadowy cover up, deep state-bullshit, frankly." (It's not my least favorite and I'm sure I'm not alone. And...since we don't know why they wanted the interview taken out of the doc, we can't assume the request came from some alleged "deep-state" folks. And it may have had nothing to do with a "cover-up.") Mayo: "But staying on the idea of a fuller picture for a minute, this is gonna feel maybe like jumping ahead, but we're gonna keep our conversation sort of tight today, so..." (I understand you had other topics (like what the phenomenon represents and the fuller picture ) that you wanted to get to, but you had an exclusive and I wish you had stayed on the Grusch topic for a bit longer. We're all jonesing for new Grusch interviews.)

When AI took off a few years ago, I launched a podcast (typical VC move) to talk to the people building all the coolest stuff. It was fun, and I learned a lot. But I quickly realized every tech podcast looks the same. Including mine. And I got bored. Then, I got inspired by new formats from shows like TBPN and indievc, and tested a few episodes where I got out of the office (with my dude Semil) and out into the real world and ditched the prep materials. It was a lot more fun, and the viewers seemed to like it, too. So today, we at Lightspeed are launching a new show dedicated to just that: No office, no Zoom, no filter. It's called Out of Office. The first episode, featuring my good friend Casey Neistat, drops on Tuesday. It's a good hang. Subscribe below. K thanks.

.James Talarico: I know how to fight. But what we need in addition to fighting is winning. That’s what we’re missing in our party. And I have a track record of doing that. I got elected by flipping a Trump district. In the legislature, not only did I help kill bad Republican bills — I actually got stuff done too.

Bryan Johnson explains why he started growing his own food instead of buying it from stores “We’ve learned that toxins are in almost every food. One example: I was eating lentils and the test came back high, so we started looking into why these lentils had high levels of heavy metals. We reached out to the company and found out they were using human sludge as fertilizer, and that’s how the heavy metals got into it” “I want to source my own food, test it, and know exactly what I’m putting into my body”

So many Americans have to be feeling this same way “Why is no one talking about how serious the cost of living actually is? — My husband is working three jobs right now. We buy absolutely nothing, nothing that we don't need, and we actually go without a lot of things that we actually do need. I feel like if you're able to do anything that's not just surviving, then you got it good. I feel so sad that I didn't appreciate the times where we were able to actually have fun at this point. So much has changed in the past few years. Like, what? I just really, really want to know. How's everyone surviving? Is everyone working, like, 24/7? Because that's what my husband does, and I'm just home with my little kids all the time. It's kind of, like, depressing that we're never together as a family. So I don't know. I hope one day we can be, but it sucks.”

Shayne Coplan, CEO of Polymarket, on why dogfooding your own product is the single best shortcut to building something people want: Shayne is asked what he thinks it takes for a founder to build a successful company. He starts by dismantling the fantasy he once had as a teenager: "When I was in high school, I was always like, man, I'm going to build this side project. It's going to get traction. People are going to give me money, and then I'm going to drop out. And it's going to be like this perfect clean break where I take no risk. Completely did not happen." Shayne dropped out of college at 18, but what followed was nothing like the smooth ride he'd imagined. "There were almost 3 years of like complete brutality of things not working and me trying things and me learning different things and running out of money, stressed about rent, like the whole 9 yards." That stretch taught him the first non-negotiable for any founder: full commitment. "If you really want to do this, if you really feel like it's your calling, don't half-ass it. Go all in. Don't hedge your bets." Shayne Coplan 🦅 continues: "If you're hedging your bets and you kind of haven't cut the rope and you're like, 'Well, I'm still at this, but I'm trying this on the side, whatever.' That's not how great, durable businesses and products start in this day and age. You got to go all in. You got to give it every ounce you got." But going all in is only half the equation. The other half, and the part Shayne believes is the real shortcut, is being one of your own users: "You have to obsess over your customers and people who are using your product. And just the easiest thing to do to build a product company is to use the product yourself and to talk to your own users all the time and triage between what you learn from your users, what you learn from dogfooding your own product, and your product development cycles." He ends with a dose of humility: "It's all I got. I'm still learning honestly."
