My AMA on WallStreetBets got a lot of attention.
My takeaway is to meet people where they are.
If you want to explain what you are building, why it matters, and how you think about the business, you should show up in the places where people are already having the conversation.
(Even if they are going to meme you a little.)

The Grindr CEO is doing an AMA on reddit right now. Oh my god is it amazing.
You must go read the entire reddit post. Its the best thing on the internet.

Grindr CEO @georgearison doing a post-earnings AMA on r/wallstreetbets is some elite shit.
Tune into the schenanigans and ask him a question here: reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/…
Schumer off the top rope dropping F bombs on The Daily this morning. We need more Brooklyn in the Capitol.
Founders and CEOs fail at comms for two reasons:
1. They’re too scared to say what they really think.
2. Their team keeps them gagged.
Tl;dr: Batshit crazy Aussie buys one-way ticket to NYC before hanging out in the Oval Office and building a seven-figure agency.

I was surprised last week when someone on the WSJ's VC desk told me they were taking a break from exclusives due to the pace of the news cycle and to evaluate what even qualifies as "news" right now.
Then I read this line from Colossus: "300 days into the year 2026, and 311 unicorns have been minted so far."
Damn. Makes sense.
If you're pitching a funding round, you'd better have some interesting narrative elements in play.
The people of Silicon Valley are unwell.
If you work at a frontier lab or decacorn, you’ve got it bad. You haven’t seen your kids, your girlfriend’s annoyed, invites from friends to hang out are waning, even weddings are on hold. This is the time to make your mark and make your money, after all.
If you’re building a startup that’s trying to compete with or be one of these companies, you’ve got it bad. Maybe you passed up a job offer at one a couple years back, which means you left $100M on the table, you fucking idiot. Being an underdog isn't as fun as you thought.
If you’re working on a pre-AI startup, you’ve got it bad. Not too long ago you were the belle of the ball, but now your 30% year-on-year growth doesn’t feel like growth at all. It feels like death.
"Too many of my friends are spiraling," Brie Wolfson writes. "I don’t know how we’re supposed to live and work like this."
It’s all too much, too fast. Too much money, too much growth, too much power, too much change. Every month, a new frontier model is released. Every day, a new unicorn is minted. Seriously. 300 days into the year 2026, and 311 unicorns have been minted so far.
So what’s left for the sane ones? Brie went looking for teams playing a different game. She found one in Ottawa: a search infrastructure company that many of the AI darlings rely on.
It's growing fast, and its people are well.

Spot on. I've been at cnbc, fox, and cheddar -- the guest has to add value first. After a few appearances, a polite ask pre-show for a company-geared question is fair. But bringing up your company being great unprompted on air always got eye rolls in the control room.
Most founders don't realize there's a secret game to becoming a regular on the major TV networks.
Against my own interests, I'm giving you the playbook that only the smartest operators have learned.
"The best dinner party guest doesn't always make the best podcast guest."
The host of a fast-growing tech podcast told me this yesterday and it nails what I'm constantly trying to teach business leaders and executives.
You may be incredibly professionally accomplished, well educated, travelled and successful.
But are you engaging and entertaining? Are you interesting to watch?
Are you a good storyteller?
And most importantly, do you have a strong, differentiated point of view that is going to piss a couple of people off?
Without these skills, you're probably not going to become one of the leading voices in your industry or have podcasters and TV networks lining up around the block to feature you.
Been listening to Ari Emanuel's memoir for the last two weeks and it's only reaffirmed how insanely bullish I am on phone calls.
Ari is dyslexic and credits his gruelling daily routine of hundreds of phone calls with the secret behind his success.
Every day, I encourage my team to not default to emails or texts to lock in opportunities, create relationships, or problem solve.
Phone calls are king and a forgotten art. Roll the calls.

I interviewed George Arison about why Grindr would pay $250M to buy a telemedicine company. It was a really interesting conversation, some highlights:
1) The company believe healthcare could be at least half as big as their core dating business if not more
2) There's a lot of 340B work that happens under the hood between their partner pharmacies + clinics
3) Some interesting ideas around how the dating app and healthcare pieces could be tied together - e.g. with fast-acting PrEP in trials, you could notify someone before they meetup to remind them to take it
Yesterday was one of those "pinch me, this is my job?" days helping our friends @RoboStrategy ring the Nasdaq Closing Bell.
Nothing quite prepares you for being in the presence of these incredible feats of engineering, including seeing a robot ring the Nasdaq bell.
Robotics and physical AI will transform our lives, bringing manufacturing back to the United States, speeding up breakthroughs in medicine, and enabling all of us to spend more time with our loved ones.
@Rewkang and the RoboStrategy team are still so ahead of their time and we're excited to keep sharing their incredible work.
