    Why the Most Productive People Never Do Everything Themselves

    Jonathan Swanson built two companies — Thumbtack and Athena — and has spent his career studying the one principle that separates people who scale from people who stay stuck: delegation. In this episode he breaks down why the most productive people in history never did everything themselves, the future of AI and human assistants, and what the greatest delegators all had in common. Plus the RunRate Rapid Fire including whether we're in an AI bubble, the most overrated productivity tool, and the one thing Jonathan would never delegate. 🎙️ RunRate — Finance for the Front Office, by the Front Office. New episodes every other Thursday. Stay Connected: Web: runratepod.com IG: ⁠  / runratepod  ⁠ TikTok: ⁠  / runratepodcast  ⁠ X: ⁠https://x.com/runratepod⁠

    How Litquidity Built a Media Empire Without Ever Showing His Face

    Hank Medina aka Litquidity built finance's most followed anonymous account at 3AM in 2017 — a side project while still in investment banking that turned into a full media empire. In this episode, Kyle and Hank get into the Litquidity origin story, the Business Insider outing, democratizing access to private markets, and what it actually takes to build a brand from zero while staying anonymous for years. They also get into the state of venture capital, the AI bubble debate, OpenAI's valuation, and why the biggest wealth-creation opportunities of our generation are locked behind doors most people can't open. Plus the inaugural RunRate Rapid Fire — including the most meme-worthy job on Wall Street, the most dangerous word in markets, and whether we're in an AI bubble. 🎙️ RunRate — Finance for the Front Office, by the Front Office.
