@aliansarinik @micro1_ai Ali’s playing a different game with "Evaluation as a Service." i think we got a masterclass in founder psychology… moving from a paralyzing "state of fear" to realizing that your job is to be the one who injects big, bold risks back into the company. rawest interview in a minute
