“Startups are somewhere between completely impossible and very, very, very, very hard.” That's Parker Conrad, CEO of Rippling, on the first episode of Long Strange Trip. Parker's got one hell of a story. Violently fired by David Sacks from Zenefits. Character assassinated in the press. Everyone (including me) thought...

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.

"Elon is very mysterious in a way that somehow nobody seems to notice. One of his slogans is, Ad Astra, to the stars, but you can't get to the stars using SpaceX because it's a chemical rocket company. So what the heck? He's not investing in physics, he was going to go into a physics grad school and he has a physics BA, so there's something very very strange about Elon, which is that he's focused on getting to the stars, he doesn't seem to have any interest in physicists, and he has a chemical rocket company. What's going on? His real space company, I think, is not SpaceX, it's xAI, it's Grok. Look at the logo for Grok, I think it's like a black hole profile. Look at its slogan, to understand the universe. I think he's given up on the corruption of science. He keeps talking about the fact that he doesn't like the term researcher, he believes only in engineers. He's constantly really running down scientists. I don't think he doesn't believe in scientists, I think he thinks that science has gotten corrupted and he doesn't want to deal with it. I think what he's doing is he's building Grok to do science in a time when humans are too corrupt to be truthful and real." 😮👀

Why is the Midjourney team uniquely qualified to build medical hardware? Beff (e/acc), founder of Extropic: "David's a trained physicist. He worked at NASA. He was a founder of Leap Motion, which is completely slept on as one of the first major projects he worked on." "What I really like about that team is that a lot of the same team from Leap Motion followed David into Midjourney and now into this hardware exploration." "They were training neural nets before there was TensorFlow, before there was GPUs. They did it on CPUs, and they had some of the first neural network technology deployed in a consumer product." "So people are like, 'Why would a gen AI company pivot into medical devices?' It's really folks that came from the hardware world finding this unique blend between neural nets and hardware to achieve things people didn't think were possible." "If it's physically possible, I very much have faith that that team can pull it off."

Michel Gondry talks about this magnificent scene from "Kes" (1969, Loach): "With Ken Loach, it's always very social. So, its the middle of England. In the '70s, probably still now, but it was very ravaged by unemployment and poverty. And you see kids when they are 15, they've already registered for unemployment money. So this kid, he finds his passion with his bird, the kestrel. And there is this moment that's magical, and it's a great lesson too. So, at school, he's very invisible. He's completely invisible. And one day, each pupil has to talk about something. And he starts to talk about his bird and suddenly, he shines. He changes because he speaks about something that he loves. This thing is amazing to me. That it's a great illustration about how so many people feel they are lazy, or they are not interested in things. If they find what they love, they would be a different person." (Four Favourites with Michel Gondry, Letterboxd, 2025)

.Chamath Palihapitiya says President Trump is completely different from how he is portrayed by the media. "He is charismatic. He's intellectually sharp, and he's funny. And when you put that together, he can engage an audience for a long time and be totally extemporaneous. The other thing I would say is that he is very polite. And he's kind in a way that was disarming and was not what I expected." "And so I felt that I had misjudged him many years in the past. And so I was very glad that I had an opportunity to sit beside him and to actually interact with him one-on-one. It was really engaging." "It was not just a pro-America agenda, but it was very clear that he was pro-innovation. So he was really supportive of AI in the details that he talked about, he was very supportive of crypto in those details. And he's very much low regulation, low taxation. And so when you put that together, it does stand very much in contrast with what the alternative is." "So it's us talking, and he says, you guys are a really beautiful couple. And I said, well, thank you. And then he turns to me, and he goes, well, you must be really rich. And I started laughing out loud. Natalie thought he was hilarious."

WATCH: Vice President Vance explain what makes President Trump such an effective decision maker: He listens to the American people directly: "He tries to take inputs from everywhere, and I think it's one of the reasons why he's so in tune with where the American people actually are...He gathers information from all sources, and it's very unusual." "Most politicians, it's a national security issue, they'll talk to the national security person. It's a business issue. Maybe they'll talk to CEO. The president talks to everybody. And that's a very, very profound thing about the the way he actually operates in Washington" President Trump is a man of the people. JD Vance

🚨Why would an ISRO scientist leave his job to build a private space company? Most people thought it was impossible. Almost no one believed. Mukesh Bansal did. He didn't invest in certainty. He invested in conviction. Today, that belief has reached orbit from Sriharikota. This isn't just the story of a rocket. It's proof that when bold founders meet people who believe in them before anyone else does, impossible ideas become reality. That's how industries change. That's how nations are built. 🇮🇳🚀

JUST IN: President Trump calls into CNN to share his first public remarks on the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump revealed that he had spoken with Graham just moments before his death and said there were no signs that anything was wrong. TAPPER: “What are your thoughts about Lindsey Graham this morning?” TRUMP: “Well, it’s devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night.” “He just got back from Ukraine and he had a great trip. He was telling me about the trip. He was pushing very, very hard—you probably know—he wanted to do the SAVE America Act. He was talking about that.” “He was full of vim and vigor. He was tired. He said, ‘I’m tired because it’s a long trip.’ But other than that, he was fine.” “And he called me, I guess, just moments before because he called me like at 6:30 or something. And the medical people got there a little bit later, right after that.” “What a terrible loss it is. He’s a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them...he was a natural politician.”

Zendaya says Robert Pattinson wasn't what she expected at all "My first impression of Rob, he was very quiet when I first met him. We were at a friend's house and I was like, hi, nice to meet you. He was very quiet, and I was like, oh he's a mysterious actor" "And then I got to know him and he is just like the goofiest dude, he takes nothing serious, very un-serious man" "He's got such a wonderful filmography, he's done such incredible projects and he really creates these really intense characters" "I was expecting maybe that he was going to be like one of those people 'don't talk to me while we're on set, I'm in my character'" "I didn't know really what to expect, but he is just so lovely and easy going, and really really cool"

I'm very proud of him." “He know what's going on in the world. He talks with his dad, he talks with me.” “He was very involved in the campaign.

Question: "Have you met with David Grusch and if so, what was your impression of him?" My answer: "I actually had a Zoom call with him and I felt that he's very honest. You know, he truly believes what he says. And that's very intriguing. If he's correct, then we have a a learning curve, to figure out where where these visitors came from and and we are heading towards a very different future than our past..... It's really important that he's part of the disclosure effort because if he can point us in the right direction and and then we find that evidence then we will know more."

In 1985, Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple, the company he'd started in a garage a decade earlier. Seven years later, a student at MIT asked him how he felt about losing it. This is him answering, with none of the bitterness you'd expect. He said he'd thought about it a lot and would rather not dwell on it. Then he named the cost plainly. "I think everybody lost. I think I lost. You know, I wanted to spend my life there. I think Apple lost. I think customers lost." And almost in the same breath, he let it go. "And having said all that, so what? You go on. It's not as bad as a lot of things. It's not as bad as losing your arm." From there he talked, clear-eyed, about the company that pushed him out, the camps fighting over what Apple should become, the products he thought were slipping. And at the end of all of it, he landed somewhere quieter. "Who knows what would have happened, had all this not happened?" He asked that in 1992, running NeXT, five years before he'd walk back into Apple and build it into the most valuable company on earth. The version where none of it happened is the one story he never got to know. Bookmark & watch ↓

The guy behind Google's Antigravity thought a one-person billion-dollar company was impossible. Then he changed his mind. His argument: if you're an ideas guy, and the next guy has the same AI, what's your alpha? Then he looked at games. The best games aren't the ones with the best graphics. Nintendo proves it. - It's the mechanics. - The story. A few things done perfectly. So the alpha was never the studio of 100 people. It's the idea. AI just removed everything between you and shipping it. One person. Billion dollars. Increasingly possible.
