  • Benedict Evans: The Patterns Everyone Else Misses
    Sep 2 2025
    Benedict Evans has been calling tech shifts for decades. Now he says forget the hype: AI isn't the new electricity. It's the biggest change since the iPhone, and that's plenty big enough. We talk about why everyone gets platform shifts wrong, where Google's actually vulnerable, and what real people do with AI when nobody's watching. Evans sees patterns others don't.

  • Small Town Billionaire: How John Bragg Built 3 Empires [Outliers]
    Aug 26 2025

In this episode, we decode the counterintuitive playbook of patient capital, rural advantage, and why Bragg's refusal to sell a single share made him unstoppable. My interview with John (#204) was the class.
