    The Founders Who Stopped Explaining (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Somewhere around the fiftieth conversation on this show, I noticed a shift in the founders I was most drawn to. The early guests explained everything. The later ones had mostly stopped.Not because they’d gotten arrogant. Because they’d gotten specific. A founder in year one can tell you the whole theory behind the business, unprompted, in detail, because the theory is still doing most of the work.

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    “The Demo-to-Deployment Gap”Most physical AI right now lives in a demo. A conference booth, a slick video, a “coming soon.” Mike Link’s company skipped past that stage years ago.Mike is COO of Kami Vision, the computer vision company now running on 15 million-plus devices, with six million users in 120-plus countries. That’s not early traction. That’s infrastructure.Liftoff with Keith: Interviews with
