49: Why we're being so transparent
Feb 03, 2026
In this episode, we unpack why we’ve chosen to be so transparent on the podcast - the upside for listeners, the potential risks with customers and competitors, and where we draw the line on sharing sensitive details. We also share a stack of updates as AIME approaches, including meeting bookings, a new client trial, analytics learnings from Heroly, multi-agent AI workflows, and a big strategic planning prompt from Inductive. Plus, wedding prep and fitness check-ins to round things out.
