“By default, all cashflow comes up and again, employees benefit because of the dividends, all that stuff, but cashflow comes up and then to invest back for growth, that's a reallocation decision. And there's a separate sort of reinvestment committee that's Alex…”

“Alex operates from Anthropics Claude as a base, but it has no access to the internet. It only answers from our data, and we have a couple million words in it.”

“Now, Alex can't care about you, doesn't have conviction, It's not going to replace me as a coach or any of the good coaches in our firm. It can't work through a multi-level problem the way that I can.”

“By the way, Alex is entirely confidential. We can't see your questions and answers. We do a couple of quality checks randomly, but other than that, it's just like a coach. It's totally confidential.”

“When she said we should start Baked, I said, no, I don't believe that the market needs one more design subscription agency.”

“End of July is when we made our first money from Baked, and then in August, we took it to 24,000 dollars, monthly recurring revenue. Next month, we made 48,000 recurring revenue, 94,001 10, one 20, One 60, and then I'd flatline to, like, one 20, a hundred, and…”

“And it ended up being that the senior leadership that did not like what I was saying and I almost got fired for it. And, but that's when I think people like Harvey and Alex at Facebook actually backed me up.”

“He just closed a round of a 125 K for five percent, meaning he hit a two million dollar valuation, but his revenue is so low, how is he gonna grow into that valuation?”

“Until we got to a hundred people, Alex and I both interviewed every single person who joined the muse. Now, at least one of us interviews everyone and both of us still interview about 50% of hires.”
