  • Jenn Hyman Episode

    New listener here, but have seen so many of Sammi’s clips on tik tok! I thought she did a stellar job with the Jenn Hyman interview. Jenn quickly hijacked the conversation and spoke over her continuously while Sammi handled it gracefully and politely challenged her when it was required (IPO). Jenn is obviously sharp but trying to convince us so desperately that rent the runway is not a business in crisis was exhausting. Anyone who has to say multiple times how wonderful they are to their employe... more

  • Love podcast sammi

    In this last episode there was a ton of discussion of going from short form socials to long form podcasts and I just want to say I LOVE the podcast. It gets so much more in depth, I can listen in the car, and I think you conduct great interviews. I know it takes a lot more work for less return, but I really appreciate it!

  • Thorough and Articulate

    When I listen to Sammi break down a story I feel like I am listening to a thoughtful, thorough, and entertaining academic. She is so sharp and careful not to overstate things. She has a knack for picking the best things to discuss and keeps her content both interesting and informative. I am an attorney and she makes me wish I studied business! Luckily for me, I can learn a lot from her content. Keep up the incredible work, Sammi!

  • Relevant, succinct, and timely!

    Sami, thanks for your show. I love that there is a mix of long and short shows and your topics are always on point and interesting! You get to the point quickly, always have a clear throughline, and I’m always left thinking about new angles.

    Also… from one ex-Amazonian to another - you took all the best from the company, “raised the bar”, and are bringing your audience the brilliance of your instinct and know-how! :)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jim McKelvey (Square) on Beating Amazon, The Innovation Stack and Fixing FDA Drug Trials
Q: How did Square approach competing with Amazon in its early days?
Square chose to ignore Amazon's aggressive move into their space and focused on serving customers. They leveraged attention through unconventional pitches (including dramatic demonstrations) to win initial interest, and deep focus on user experience and product design to outmaneuver a much larger rival over time.
Jim McKelvey (Square) on Beating Amazon, The Innovation Stack and Fixing FDA Drug Trials
Q: What is the central idea behind the Innovation Stack and its applicability across industries?
Jim explains that the Innovation Stack is not a universal playbook but a framework describing how unique, first-of-a-kind breakthroughs require different rules—pricing, branding, product, and team work differently, and solving hard, previously unsolved problems may be inherently uncomfortable but can be transformative if the path is followed with commitment and an openness to learning from failure.
Dan Clancy (Twitch) on Live Streaming Community, Creator Monetization and the Future of AI
Q: What advice would you give brands considering authentic participation on Twitch?
Brands should activate with creators authentically, design live, real-world experiences that align with the brand, and consider collaborations that feel native rather than scripted, leveraging events or challenges that engage the community in real time.
Dan Clancy (Twitch) on Live Streaming Community, Creator Monetization and the Future of AI
Q: How does Twitch differentiate itself from other social platforms in terms of community and live interaction?
He explains that Twitch has a unique live, creator-audience bond where the community forms not only around the streamer but also among the viewers themselves, creating horizontal connections and a shared, ongoing experience.
Dan Clancy (Twitch) on Live Streaming Community, Creator Monetization and the Future of AI
Q: For someone who has not watched content on Twitch, what is your pitch to get them on the platform?
Dan suggests focusing on understanding why people stream rather than just pitching to join, emphasizing the social and communal aspects, the real-time interaction, and the sense of belonging that makes viewers feel connected to a creator and to the other viewers.
