How I see myself: Crate and Barrel How I actually am: Cracker Barrel

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost. Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more. To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

A great write up about who I am, where I came from, and where the @ShawnRyanShow is heading, but the best part was teaching Isabella (the @WSJ journalist) her way around a handgun. Watch out because she’s one hell of a shot now! wsj.com/business/media/who-i…

A quick but important note about the podcast industry… I’ve never been more optimistic—or more deeply concerned—about where the podcast industry is headed. Audiences are growing, investment in the medium is at an all-time high, and the creative potential continues to inspire. Yet, we’re at a critical juncture where systematic changes are urgently needed to ensure that creators and their businesses are truly protected and supported. This deserves an open and honest conversation. I’ll be sharing more thoughts soon, but in the meantime, I’d love to hear from others in the space. Let’s connect—my DMs are open.
