🚨NEW PODCAST EPISODE🚨 Dick Costolo: the man who IPO'ed Twitter. I’ve heard every Twitter war story….but never from the CEO who actually had to take the "drama queen of hypergrowth companies" to IPO. This episode with @dickc is simply perfect.  Zero F's given. That's Dick. Funny, blunt, unsentimental, and perfect for the AI founder era. @dickc ran Twitter when it was not just a company, it was the internet’s live wire. A rocket ship in search of a durable business model. A cultural battlefield. A public company in waiting. A media obsession. Sound familiar? It rhymes with a lot of the scale up AI companies today. He does not give generic CEO advice. It's way better. He gives the kind of advice you only get after running one of the most scrutinized companies in the world: 🐌 Why speed dies when no becomes "go ask 14 people" 🚨 Why "the CEO said so" is a sign your company is broken 🍽️ Why dirty dishes in the office can explain why the site crashes 🪞 Why public-company status can quietly distort a CEO's identity 💸 Why founders today are raising too much money and calling it ambition ⚖️ Why AI companies may need more judgment, not more process Links to the full episode below.
