Stewart Alsop II and III interviewed Steve Case about the early days of AOL, how the #internet became commercialized after originally being invented as a network that could survive a nuclear attack, and the evolution of the success of venture capital as an alternative asset class.

Chef Robotics is one of my favorite angel investments. Rajat Bhageria is a great entrepreneur who kept his head down until he had incontrovertible proof of customer success and is scaling. Now he’s bringing his company out of stealth. https://lnkd.in/gyDtqb53

Definitely take the time to watch this 10 minute video from Ursa Major. I felt my heart beating faster! I’m incredibly proud of what this high-performance team has accomplished in the few years since Alsop Louie Partners lead the Series A financing of the company.
Over the past six months a film crew captured Ursa Major’s journey from developing new propulsion prototypes at industry leading speeds to our Hadley engines first-flight in support of a hypersonic test vehicle. We introduce to you, the future of...PROPULSION. WATCH HERE: https://www.ursamajor.com/

Is the Department of Justice really paying attention or just suing every big technology company? Apple has a monopoly on the business it has built from scratch and created its own ecosystem. Maybe they charge too much for the App Store? But customers have a clear choice between the iPhone ecosystem and the Android ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/gyvuEy6M

Is Apple a monopoly? Hardly and the Department of Justice is doing us a disservice by suing them for being one.

Every month I do a private podcast with Stewart Alsop. He's a great interviewer and helps me make sense of all of the data I'm generating and trends that I'm noticing in my work, plugging AI into organizations, small and large. On Friday we covered a lot of ground, including: - how leaders under pressure can make good decisions when it comes to bringing the technology in-house; - why digital transformation isn't binary and organizations that reach their desired state may end up looking, may take on a hybrid structure; - how capabilities like rapid intelligence collection and analysis, which were only historically available to states and major corporations, are increasingly available to smaller organizations; - why it's absolutely critical that decision makers get hands-on with the tools; - hyper-individuation, unprecedentedly diverse career paths, and what that might mean for the future of knowledge work; - and finally, perhaps most interestingly, the things that WON'T change and how if things go right, AI may actually help us become more human. I'll try to turn some of these into posts over the next few weeks. Which topics are you most interested in? Let me know in the comments.
