Jeff Lawson

We worked together.

Twilio, he was deeply involved in the diligence to when we were doing the Twilio SendGrid acquisition, we were in the same executive leadership team room with Jeff Lawson, who's extraordinary and a bunch of great people and in those trenches together for 18 months.

And I'll just tell you, I've been doing this for 31 years.

He is absolutely one of the very best software executives in the industry, period, full stop.

At the JP Morgan Chase Tower on Park Avenue.

Our guest is Jeff Lawson, co-founder and CEO of Inertia.

Inertia is a fusion energy company building lasers and mass-manufactured fuel targets to deliver grid-scale fusion power based on technology developed and demonstrated at Lawrence Livermore Lab.

The company came out of stealth a little over a year ago.

No, that was part of the funding.

Uh, Jeff Lawson's probably the main billionaire, but Michael Bloomberg would be a major part of it, Seth.

But Jeff Lawson, that's the name.

Yeah, look, we got a parentheses here.

"It's true that Bloomberg co-founded and financially backs Everytown, but Everytown did not contribute to the purchase.

Yeah.

The way a scumbag like Ben Collins, who again is just a puppet of another guy, like, the, the, that's not the brains behind shit, and he's not the one buying Info Wars, obviously.

Obviously every town, and then of course the great Jeff Lawson, uh, the billionaire behind the, uh, tetra, global tetrahedron, whatever the fuck-

Yeah, I think that the CEOs that end up really liking the CEO role find joy in continuously staying engaged with their customers or they're like in love with their products.

So like on the weekend, like when I worked for Jeff Lawson at Twilio, he dog fooded, like he used all of the latest APIs we'd built before they were public And he would build stuff over the weekend and then he'd come in Monday morning for all hands with like what he had built.

And then he sent like copious notes of feedback to the teams.

And so like he maintained his love for the business because he always carved out time to play with the product, dissect the product, give notes to the team.
