Ranking Startup Cities, Funding, and Founder Books | The Tier List with Brennan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Brennan Pothetes builds companies out of New York, and in this episode he says San Francisco is a B tier place to start one. No guest this time. Just the arguments he has with founder friends over drinks, settled out loud with letter grades. Brennan ranks the six things founders fight about most: where to build, how to fund it, what to read, how to lead, how to work, and what to do with your twenties. Profitable businesses take S tier for funding, while venture, the path he has raised on for yea
Founders Should Write About Everything Except Their Business | Adam Delehanty @ Ghost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam Delehanty has been a Knicks fan since he was zero years old. What struck him about last season's run was that when OG tips the ball in, there is no debate about what just happened. Then he goes back to his own work, and the work of most of the people watching, and it's Google Docs and strategy decks and products nobody may ever see. Brennan sits down with him as the founder and CEO of Ghost, a content agency that writes books and culture documents for some of the biggest names in tech. His

How a Brain Surgeon Scientist Learned to Spot Fake AI | Afsheen Afshar (opens the original)

Afsheen Afshar has one of the strangest résumés in tech: an MD and a PhD who built brain-machine interfaces that helped paralyzed patients type using only their thoughts, then walked away from medicine to become Wall Street's first Chief Data Science Officer at J.P. Morgan. So when he says most of the AI being sold today is "theater," he has the standing to mean it. In this conversation with Brennan Pothetes, Afsheen (Founder Managing Partner of Pilot Wave Holdings) draws a hard line between wha
How I Launched 8 AI Companies in 1 Year with Infinity | a Q&A with Brennan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Brennan Pothetes built eight companies in a single year and just closed a $24M raise for Infinity Constellation. So when listeners flooded him with questions, he did what most founders won't: he answered them straight, including the ones that expose his own contradictions. In this solo AMA, Brennan breaks down the exact first move Infinity makes before anyone writes a line of code, why he no longer believes in tech moats, and what selling his last company (Butter) taught him about ignoring exter
