Interview #91 Johan Land, Chief Product Officer of Samsara
Interview #91 Johan Land, Chief Product Officer of Samsara Jul 13, 2026 00:24:06 Johan Land, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, breaks down why every major AI lab crowded into the easy 90% of knowledge work while ignoring the 40% of the economy that is physical and the 80% of workers who never sit at a desk. He explains why intelligence on a battery budget has to live on the edge - collision warnings fire in milliseconds, making GenAI's hundreds of milliseconds of latency u
Interview #90 Ketan Karkhanis, CEO of ThoughtSpot
Interview #90 Ketan Karkhanis, CEO of ThoughtSpot Jul 2, 2026 00:39:04 Ketan Karkhanis, CEO of ThoughtSpot, breaks down why two decades of self-service BI was a hoax that only handed everyone the right to build their own dashboards, leaving companies sitting on 50,000 of them with no idea what to do. He explains why the industry's shortcut of bolting a language model onto your data and letting it write the SQL is doomed: analytics are deterministic while AI is pr

He explains the pipeline trap companies are walking into - handing every junior, tactical task to AI the way firms offshored it back in 2000, then finding no one qualified to step into the senior roles - and argues teams should delibe
Interview #87 Vishnu Hari, CEO of ego AI
Interview #87 Vishnu Hari, CEO of ego AI May 25, 2026 00:19:09 Vishnu Hari, CEO of Ego AI, breaks down why the labs with billions in compute missed the product hiding in plain sight: character AI quietly tops every consumer retention leaderboard while the serious labs write it off as a sideshow.
