Um, and sometimes you get exposure with really cool people.
Eric CoxGUEST
I was on, you know, you know, I got to do some snaps with Evan Spiegel, which is still one of my coolest things, um, on the Snapchat side.
Eric CoxGUEST
But realistically, you know, the, a lot of these clients, they were my partner's client and I happened to be on the file versus being able to be this is like my contact.
Eric CoxGUEST
I call them, they call me.
Kelly EarleyHOST
He's not sitting there watching The Simpsons all evening after school like the rest of us were.
Kelly EarleyHOST
Then finally, Peter Thiel and Evan Spiegel from Snapchat said they only give their kids an hour and a half of screen time per week, which is a tiny fraction of what most people clock up.
Kelly EarleyHOST
And in Peter Thiel's case, he described himself as a typical Silicon Valley parent and said there's a lot of people in tech who do something similar for their families.
Kelly EarleyHOST
And I quote, there's some questions that that might lead you to ask yourself.
David SenraHOST
You can't even describe this.
David SenraHOST
But Evan Spiegel sat in that exact same chair that you're in.
David SenraHOST
You know, people gave me shit.
David SenraHOST
They're like, "Why you wanna interview Evan? Uh, you know, look at his market cap." I was like, "I don't give a shit about his market cap." Like, I don't look at companies that way.
Lloyd JacksonHOST
Peter Thiel would limit his kids to 90 minutes of screen time per week.
Lloyd JacksonHOST
Evan Spiegel of Snapchat restricted his kids to about 90 minutes of screen time a week.
Lloyd JacksonHOST
Sundar Pichai of Google says that his son did not have a phone at age 11 and that home television was hard to access.
Lloyd JacksonHOST
There was a interesting piece in The New York Times a couple of weeks ago about these tech giants and how they approach their children with their technology.
Kirsten MannGUEST
People get so caught up in the build and is the product desirable, usable, all of that stuff, not can we get it to people.
Kirsten MannGUEST
And Even I think it was Evan Spiegel who co-founded Snapchat, wasn't it? Highlighted this really well for me.
Kirsten MannGUEST
He was like, everyone's obsessed over product market fit and barely thinks about distribution and distribution is getting harder.
Kirsten MannGUEST
AI has collapsed the cost of building, but it hasn't touched the cost of reaching people who trust you.
Belle LinHOST
We dive into some of the ways that tech companies can develop data centers that won't alienate communities and why there's still such a long road ahead.
Belle LinHOST
But first, even as Snap struggles with profitability, the company's CEO, Evan Spiegel, is doubling down on its foray into smart glasses.
Belle LinHOST
That has led to concerns from investors and Snap employees that the move may not pay off.
Belle LinHOST
WSJ deputy media editor Jessica Tunkel is here now to discuss the turmoil inside Snap and why its upcoming glasses launch is such a big test for the company.
Belle LinHOST
So Jessica, why is Snap CEO Evan Spiegel making such a big bet on smart glasses?
Jessica ToonkelGUEST
So Evan really sees these specs as, like, the future after the phones.
Jessica ToonkelGUEST
These are better than phones, he believes.
Jessica ToonkelGUEST
So with that backdrop, a lot of people are asking, "Why are we going into this whole new thing? Why are we launching this new hardware business?" This is a very expensive product.
Tom MaynardGUEST
I do see people expect... instant uh instant returns and like if it doesn't work after six months then they move on to the next thing and it's like okay i'll follow crypto or i follow ai or i follow and they they try and reinvent themselves or this every six to twelve months Shit's hard, right? You've got to put in the effort, you've got to put in the hard yards.
Tom MaynardGUEST
It's only the 0.01% is the lightning in a bottle of becoming the Evan Spiegel or Mark Zuckerberg of the world.
Tom MaynardGUEST
99.9% of the population is grafting and it's just that moment being able to improve things 1% at a time and then slowly you kind of create that that fly flywheel that I guess like the business analogy I use I guess like for me and my business partner Alex the it's like running a business is kind of like our woodwork right we're just coming in every day polishing varnishing chipping away and that's like a kind of our craft
Lachlan BradfordHOST
I love that.
NatalieHOST
Venison is unrelatable.
NatalieHOST
Like who the fuck is eating venison on a regular basis? If you're not Miranda Kerr, who's married to, by the way, Evan Spiegel is his name? Billionaire.
NatalieHOST
Yes.
NatalieHOST
So I don't, I'm like, I I'm interested in it in the same way that I'm interested in goop and Gwyneth Paltrow's like crazy racks.
Glenn KramonGUEST
Yeah.
Glenn KramonGUEST
And the first thing I said to you was, do you know Evan Spiegel? Did you work with Evan Spiegel? Yeah.
Glenn KramonGUEST
And you did.
Jean LuoHOST

ThreadguyHOST
Quick update on Snapchat because I think this is fucking hilarious.
ThreadguyHOST
is some leaders at snap have raised concerns with ceo evan spiegel about how much time he spends on the company's smart glasses venture relative to snap's core moneymaker snapchat platform insane that this is still a topic Snapchat CEO sought more sleek, sophisticated look for new glasses.
ThreadguyHOST
Snap planned to raise outside funding for specs, but the funding never came.
ThreadguyHOST
You know what's funny to me is every time I ask myself, like, how is it possible that SF is so wrong about something like flock cameras? How is that possible? And then I think that there's a billionaire founder that lives in SF whose job is consumer that thinks these are going to sell for $2,200.
