Why didn't travis kalanick raise more than $1.7B for Atoms? "You gotta stop somewhere." "We'll do a second close. If you're a homie, we definitely have room for you. If you're not a homie, you should talk to one of my homies."

If you're a startup choosing between San Francisco or Texas, here's what 8VC's Joe Lonsdale says to consider: “If you’re building the very top AI model or cloud app-layer company, you probably have to be in SF. Texas is phenomenal for atoms, manufacturing, robotics, defense, healthcare.”

"Elon owns 𝕏 now. There's a massive difference in the mix of ideas that can get out there." "You're allowed to be optimistic about things. Where before, everything had to be negative." travis kalanick on why now is the right time for Atoms to come out of stealth: "The world is different." "This sounds crazy, but in 2017, the media world was actually more negative than it is today, partly because of shows like this. It's like - let's bring some optimism to the party. Can we get excited about what the future looks like and what's being built?" "That's the difference between today and then. When 95% of all press is negative, you're like - 'Why engage?'"

Atoms CEO travis kalanick says GTM in the mining industry is completely different from GTM in consumer businesses like Uber. "Going from doing consumer to doing business is a whole other ball game. That takes years off your lifespan. Mining GTM is cray cray." "A month ago I dropped into the deep Amazon in Northern Brazil, it's like the Amazon of the Amazon, to visit a customer operating a massive iron ore mine." After he and his team arrive on site, he says Atoms installs autonomy kits on both new and decades-old mining equipment, which helps the mines produce more, improve safety, and lower OpEx.

"The addiction lawsuits — it's like, 'We're sorry that you think our app is addictive. We're going to work this out in the courts. But while we do that, we're going to introduce gambling.'" Jordi on Meta's reported prediction market plans: "[You're taking] Instagram — already one of the most addictive apps ever created — and adding casino functionality to it, so you're gambling with your friends." "I'm sure they wanted to keep this under wraps, and it's probably still an experiment, but it's not a very defensible move."

Mark Zuckerberg explains why he has never believed in delegation (and why founders shouldn't either): Most CEOs believe their job is to hire great people and get out of the way, but Mark disagrees. "I basically don't believe in delegation." He explains his thinking: "There's so much going on across the company that I can't possibly get involved in all of it. So all these people are going to have a ton of stuff that they're going to do." But that's not a reason to step back. It's a reason to be selective and then go deep. "Fundamentally, if there is a decision that I want to be involved with, I'm going to be involved in it." His argument is simple: if you're the one accountable for everything, why would you ever accept being locked out of something important? "If you're running the company and you're on the hook for everything and there's something that's important at whatever level of detail in the organization, I don't get the logic of saying I'm not going to be involved in that." He's not calling for micromanagement, and he acknowledges he can't be everywhere. What he's rejecting is the idea that hierarchy should be a barrier. That founders should stay in their lane. That diving into the details is somehow a sign of poor leadership. Mark Zuckerberg does add one caveat: "You want to have humility and know that if you're diving into some decision, you may not have the most context immediately." But humility about context is different from staying out entirely. His conclusion is a cultural one: "You want to have the cultural expectation that things are not going to be so hierarchical and you're just going to dive into whatever you want."

Jordi: Even if you believe in the permanent underclass meme, trying to become rich in two months is going to make you do things that are not super productive, and not super enduring. "I think young people just need to get that concept out of their heads. You don't need to be thinking on 10-, 20-, 30-year time horizons, like you would with a legacy career..." "[But you should] think in 3- and 5-year time horizons. And not have this insane scarcity mindset. You're just not going to do very good work."

In 2022, after attempted Pelosi hammer assassin David DePape was arrested, Charlie Kirk tried to get him bailed out. “Why is the Republican Party? Why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into somebody's home or maybe not breaking into somebody's home? Why are we to blame for that exactly? And why is he still in jail? Why is he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet his bail is like 30 or 40,000 bucks. Bail him out and then go ask him some questions. I wonder what his bail is. They're going after him with attempted murder, political assassination, all this sort of stuff. I'm not qualifying it. I think it's awful. It's not right. But why is it that in Chicago, you're able to commit murder and be out the next day? Why is it that you're able to trespass second degree murder? Arson, threat of public official, cashless bail.”

If I'm watching you go in another room, throwing up, cramps, and whatever you're doing, it's like, 'Okay, something's going on over there.' I get people want to keep a secret. I'm not mad at that. Not me. If I'm on it, you're going to hear about it from me." - Joe Budden

"A generation of management teaching taught us CEOs should trust their people and get out of the way. But I don't think 'trust' and 'getting out of the way' are the same thing." Brian Chesky on how Founder Mode will become even more important with agentic AI: "Great leadership is presence, not absence." "Leadership is presence. You should actually be partnering with people. You should be on the field with them. If you're a calvalry general, you should be on a horse. You should be on the battlefield. You're not overseas just writing blueprints. You gotta be on the field with them, you gotta be leading by example." "Leadership is from the front, not the back." "I think AI is going to create the equivalent of an AI founder mode. Now you gotta be even more hands-on. I don't think in the era of AI, there should be any pure people managers. Because you're so close to the details and data. Everyone has the opportunity to be hands-on, and it's hard to imagine only managing people and not agents."

"Dude, the customer could not care less." Thiel Fellow Victor Boyd, who's building autonomous forklifts with the ultimate goal of being able to get anything anywhere in under 5 hours, says "teleoperation" has become a dirty word for no good reason. "[Teleoperation] is extremely valuable... customers don't care, guys. The customers don't care if you're fully autonomous. Customers care if the work is done." "If you're over here stressing, 'Oh, dude, we're only 10% autonomous,' but you're getting the job done every single time, and you're profitable — obviously keep going for more autonomy. Push those margins. But, dude, the customer could not care less." From his appearance on the show last month.
