Aidan Gomez (Aidan Gomez) is a computer scientist, co-author of the seminal paper โ€˜Attention Is All You Need,โ€™ 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 โ€” for Canada and for the world at large. This is a conversation about family, values, and what it means to live with conviction.

New episode with the incredible former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi - the first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company. In this conversation, Indra discusses the stories behind her rise to the top of one of the world's largest companies. From early days at the Boston Consulting Group using satellite photos to analyze competitor facilities, to personally tracking 400 potential executives as CEO, Indra reveals the granular thinking that separates great leaders from good ones. Her "zoom in, zoom out" philosophy transformed how she understood business โ€” from the "right side of the decimal" where even a fraction of a penny matters across millions of transactions, to setting company strategy at 30,000 feet. She explains why most leaders fail because they don't understand their business at the most granular level. But perhaps most powerful is her candid discussion about the reality of being a working mother in the C-suite where she argues there is no such thing as work-life balance. Watch now for a masterclass in leadership, strategy, and the sacrifices required to reach the top.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz have almost never spoken publicly about how 3G Capital invests and operates. The firm is different in many fascinating ways. Every fund they raise is designed to make exactly one investment. They invest more of their own money than any of their limited partners in every deal and send their own people to run the businesses as CEOs and CFOs. Over 20 years they have never lost money on a deal. The conversation includes the story of how they spent 15 years building a relationship with the founding family of Hunter Douglas before getting the opportunity to buy it. They describe receiving a two line rejection email from Tim Hortons after weeks of silence and how they managed to get back to the table and close the deal. They talk about how they bought Burger King for a billion dollars when no other firm showed up to compete. And they explain why Skechers being the third largest sneaker company in the world surprised even them. A major theme is how they develop talent. Daniel was an analyst who became CFO at 26 and CEO of Burger King at 32. Alex became CEO of the largest railroad in Latin America when he was 30. They explain what they look for in young people, why they give them significant responsibility faster than anywhere else, and what it takes to set them up to succeed while holding an unusually high bar. Daniel and Alex are two of the most talented and intense people I know. They are incredibly serious about business quality and disciplined about waiting for the right opportunity. They would rather do nothing than compromise. Enjoy!
