Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel

Evan Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Snap, is one of the very few people in the world who has successfully built and scaled a lasting consumer social product. Snapchat has nearly 1 billion MAUs, and Evan and his team invented some of the most important consumer products and features, including Stories, AR glasses, swipe-based navigation, the camera as the primary UX, and a lot more. In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 1. Why distribution is now the biggest challenge for creating a consumer technology business 2. How Snap innovates at scale with a 9-to-12-person design team: no titles, no hierarchy, hundreds of ideas reviewed weekly with the CEO 3. Why a pure software business is no longer a moat, and what actually creates durable competitive advantages today 4. How AI is changing the way designers work and why they’re now shipping code 5. Why every major Snap feature was copied and how that forced the company to work differently 6. Evan’s prediction that humanity’s comfort with AI will be a bigger bottleneck than the technology itself 7.

How Anthropic’s product team moves faster than anyone else | Cat Wu (Head of Product, Claude Code)

Cat Wu is Head of Product for Claude Code and Cowork at Anthropic, building one of the most important AI products of this generation. Before joining Anthropic, Cat spent years as an engineer and briefly worked in VC. Today, she’s interviewing hundreds of product managers who are trying to break into AI—and seeing firsthand what separates those who thrive from those who fall behind. We discuss: 1. How Anthropic’s shipping cadence went from months to weeks to days 2. The emerging skills PMs need to develop right now 3. Why you need to build products that don’t yet fully work, so you’re ready when the next model closes the gap 4. Cat’s most underrated AI skill: asking the model to introspect on its own mistakes 5. Why Claude’s personality is core to its success 6. Why Anthropic’s mission alignment eliminates the friction that slows most large organizations 7.

AirPods, Touch Bars, and the rest of Tim Cook's legacy

Now that we've had a few days to digest the Apple CEO succession news, Nilay and David get some help from Daring Fireball's John Gruber to discuss Tim Cook's legacy, the potential for change under John Ternus, and whether the Touch Bar actually could have been great. Then, Nilay and David react to some breaking news: Microsoft is going back to the Xbox. And everything is an Xbox now. Finally, in the lightning round, we have a round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, a very 2026 new microphone, a BMW we can't figure out, and Meta's new AI training tool: its employees.

Ferrari

Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury scarcity — across its entire 79-year history, the company has sold just 330,000 cars at an average price today of $500,000. For context, Hermès sells that many Birkins and Kellys roughly every 2 years, and Rolex moves that many watches every 3 months. And yet this ultimate luxury product also lives under the same roof with a widely beloved professional sports team… one with 400 million rabid fans from all walks of life who live and die by the Scuderia’s performance every F1 race weekend! How is it possible that these two seemingly contradictory customer bases can coexist within the same company? And far from destroying each other’s value, only reinforce it? The answer, it turns out, is a beautiful, bloody, tragic and romantic opera that spans two families and three generations — and just might be one of the best tales we’ve ever told on Acquired. Buckle up for the story of Ferrari. Sponsors: Many thanks to our fantastic Spring '26 Season partners: J.P.
