Robbie Klages(@robbieklages):Really enjoyed sitting down with Arjun yesterday. We covered the IPO, surviving Chokepoint, AI at Kraken, and what it’s actually like building a $20B company through the ups and downs. Felt more like a real conversation than an interview. One of my favorite conversations we've had on the show.
