In my new capacity as a podcaster, I must entreat you not to forget to like and subscribe.

Susan Li is CFO of Meta and has never(!!) done a podcast. We talked about AI capex, whether your baseball hat should say FCF or EBITDA, how Meta allocates GPUs, and working with Mark Zuckerberg.

OpenAI co-founder @gdb talks about integrating research and product development, the scaling hypothesis, and his AI predictions. Subscription links for future episodes:

The majestic Boeing Stearman on the apron at Weston today. A great mix of old and new alongside the @Bristow_Group AW189, both adding some great colour on a summer's day! 🌞😎

One of the best parts of Stripe is working with the world's most interesting businesses. Taking advantage of this, we're launching a podcast where we host founders and leaders for a cheeky pint in our hastily-constructed office pub. Coming soon: episodes with @gdb, Meta’s Susan Li, @kvogt, and @levelsio. Let me know if you have suggested interviewees. We'll likely include a bunch of interviews with people you've never heard of but whose business stories are fascinating.

Crypto wallets are going to play an increasingly important role in the growth of the internet economy. Delighted to welcome @privy_io to @stripe to make it easier for developers to build the next wave of onchain infrastructure.
