"This is what it would have been like to be friends with Thomas Edison." That's how Michael Thompson describes our founder JoeBen Bevirt, and it's why he helped take Joby public in 2021 through Reinvent Technology Partners. When Michael diligences a new technology in a highly regulated industry, his...

Would you bet EVERYTHING on one idea? Michael Saylor did. Michael is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of the company now called Strategy. Long before Bitcoin, he built businesses in business intelligence, speech recognition and smart-home technology. Today, he is probably best known for turning his company into the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. In 2020, his company was worth around $600 million when he made what I described to him as an “early, very contrarian bet on Bitcoin”. At its peak, the company reached roughly $125 billion. I wanted to understand what Michael saw that almost everyone else didn’t, where that level of conviction comes from, and why his thinking goes far beyond Bitcoin. We discussed things like: - How he says AI helped him create $15 billion last year. - Why he believes buying a house might not be the best way to build wealth. - What he would study if he was 18 today. - Which careers AI could completely transform. - What is happening to the value of the money sitting in your bank. - Why he still has such enormous conviction in Bitcoin. Michael’s whole point is that technology, money and careers are not separate conversations. He sees them as connected parts of where the world is heading, and believes the decisions we make now could matter far more than most people realise. Even if you see the world differently to Michael, there is a lot to take from the way he thinks. His experience building technology companies, making enormous financial bets and thinking deeply about AI gives him a perspective on money, work and the future that is worth listening to.

.Naval on Finding Technical Co-founders Join the conversation: "It's getting harder and harder because these days those people just go and start their own company. So what do you bring to the table that a good technical co-founder would not have? That's number one. And that would either mean you have some particular deep insight and relationships into a market and you have capital because you've got to bring a lot to the table because you're not creating the product anymore. Or secondly, you have to have a relationship that's pre-existing. You worked together before at some company or you've gone to school together. Outside of those cases, it's incredibly hard to recruit a quality technical co-founder. And I'm not even sure you're in a position to start a company. This is why so many companies come out of universities or come out of the Bay Area because there you're just very likely to have business founders and technical founders next to each other. The business founders at least have enough technical experience that they can properly evaluate the technical co-founder. And then the business founder has to hustle and raise money, recruit people, have a vision, have a customer base, have a market ready to go, and have proven themselves. And now lots and lots of other things to balance out the skills a technical founder brings to the table. There are now more successful cases of solo technical founders starting companies than there are of solo non-technical founders starting companies. So it is an uphill climb. I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you.”

This should be a reunion. Michael survived Sicily, made it back, found Kay, and tells her "I need you. And I love you." The order of those words matters. But listen to what comes before them. He wants her to marry him. She says it's too late. And Michael keeps going. What's important is that we have each other. That we have a life together. That we have children. Our children. He's itemizing. Each other, a life, children. Then, at the end of the list, almost as an afterthought, I need you. And I love you. That's not a confession. It's an offer. Michael does love Kay. But by now that love is being absorbed into the logic of the family business. This isn't the man who once told her "That's my family, Kay. It's not me." That man is gone. You feel it in Pacino. Michael sounds emptied out, like something got left in Sicily with Apollonia and the explosion and the last version of himself that believed he could stay outside this. He isn't pleading. He's presenting her a future. And minutes earlier he'd already told her what that future runs on. His father is no different from any powerful man, he says. A senator. A president. Kay laughs at him. Senators and presidents don't have men killed. "Who's being naive, Kay?" That's the new Michael. He isn't defending the family by claiming they're different from powerful men. He's defending them by claiming they're exactly the same. Murder isn't the exception to power. It's what power is. And then, in the same breath, he promises her five years and the family goes completely legitimate. Trust me. That's all I can tell you about my business. He tells her power is murder and then asks her to build a life on the promise that his won't be. Kay is still talking to the man she fell in love with. Michael is already speaking as the man who will one day shut the door on her for good. This was never Michael asking Kay to come back. It's his first offer as the future Don.
