New pod link attached, but first a life / pod update. Almost two years ago I kicked off the BG2 podcast w my good friend @altcap to talk about tech, markets, investing, capitalism. We have covered important topics from nuclear to China from the AI boom to self driving cars from the excesses of stock comp to the industrialization of venture. It has been a heck of a run as they say. The audience response has been off the charts for which I am grateful. But I also realize that even a bi-weekly commitment to important conversations takes quite a bit of time. The truth is Brad & the team have done a heroic amount of work - huge credit and thank you. And so I am going to be stepping back from the BG2 pod to devote time to a few bigger projects including my upcoming book launch - which I care about deeply. I continue to think the niche we carved out for BG2 is an important one - honest & serious conversations with experienced executives & analysts about the most important topics impacting tech, investing, and markets. I appreciate all the incredible feedback and especially the friendship, trust & effort by Brad in putting this together. He is one of the smartest, hardest working, and positive sum guys that I know & no doubt BG2 will continue to have important conversations. By the way - what Brad accomplished in passing the Invest America Act getting every newborn a 401k from birth - while juggling Altimeter, his family, and this pod was an inspiration & reminder to me to also focus on some big, worthy quests. I may drop into the pod as a guest on occasion - I remain a huge fan and friend - but with Brad’s support I just wanted to make a clean break for now to allow the space for many other things that I hope to accomplish.
