I set aside the hour to listen to this talk “The Rise of a New Indian Elite” and feel like it will take another 4 hours to unpack all the references made within the talk let alone the Q&A section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LTUY4KzEOw

My latest Google Gemini Gem experiment experience just did something that would have taken me at least 15 minutes of searching, indexing, and compiling… in under 30 seconds.
Perfect? No.
Better than 50% directionally there? Absolutely.

Twilio sendgrid aka sendgrid.net phishing is easily 80% of my spam folder and trash at the moment.

I wonder if there is a year over year graph showing what it would cost to upgrade to everything Apple makes immediately upon it being announced.
I still remember pausing on the original iPhone to ask myself if I was seriously going to part with that much cash.

Hear me out… all these new megacorp “glasses” seem to take a page from the comic book advertisements of the late 20th century.

Eventually, as tech shifts to bioscience democratization crossovers, a “Brave New World” Cliff Notes Edition event won’t be far behind.

Long may we avoid paperback rear cover paragraphs “Alas, Babylon” fused with “The Day After” watching book reports turned reality.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
