Ron Foss tells me all about the Fossmobile - Episode 7

Waverly CEO, Philippe Beaudoin and I sit down to chat - Episode 6

I had a wonderful conversation with Philippe Beaudoin, another X-Googler who is now the co-founder and CEO of Waverly. Phil and his team are building an evolved, next-generation social network. In his vision, this platform will leverage intention rather than capitalize on people's attention. Take a listen to Phil and I talk about social networking, Waverly's potential revenue models, and board games.

I was excited when Sidewalk Labs was planning to build the city of the future in Toronto. It didn't happen. People got scared about what data might be collected and how Sidewalk Labs' parent and associated companies, Alphabet and Google, might use that data. Andrew Miller gives me an insider's view of what happened.

It was wonderful to catch up with Aimée Morrison and talk about her knack for going viral, how we need to embrace the physical nature of learning, and how AI writing isn't writing. We also got a bit nostalgic for our days in university.
