    I stopped listening when they started talking too loudly about millionaires flying into space, cryptocurrencies, NFTs.... You can admire entrepreneurship and respect the environment and not encourage scams.

  • Must listen for tech and business enthusiasts

    A true must-listen for entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, or aspiring business owners. Chris and Sylvie go past surface level (aka BORING) business best practices and dive deep into how to build a great brand. The show highlights less flashy leaders in tech and each interview is always chock-full of takeaways. An easy listen that I always look forward to!

    I love listening to TTL in the car. Chris and Sylvie have a very sweet, funny rapport, and their guests bring unique, unexpected insights into how they manage through change, struggle, and upheaval. It’s a refreshingly rare and human take on managing people and a business. Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why More Content Isn't the Answer with Brendan Hufford
Q: What role should AI play in the creative process?
AI is best used for research, organization, and generating structure; it can aid in creating depth and connections, but it cannot replace taste, judgment, and the human stories that make content remarkable.
Why More Content Isn't the Answer with Brendan Hufford
Q: How should people think about ongoing relationships across platforms?
Forming a recurring owned marketing motion is key; you should balance platform-based reach with direct channels like email or a website to ensure you can nurture audiences even if a platform changes its rules.
Why More Content Isn't the Answer with Brendan Hufford
Q: What is your strategy right now for content, and how has it evolved with AI?
Brendan explains that he used to rely on producing a prolific amount of content, but with AI, volume is no longer the differentiator. The focus shifts to depth, relationship-building, and owning channels that aren't dependent on third-party platforms.
The Real ROI of Digital Accessibility with Wistia's Co-founder and CTO, Brendan Schwartz
Q: What are some concrete features Wistia added to support accessibility at scale?
Automatic transcription and captions, a color-contrast accessible UI, and a new one-click audio description workflow via a partner, all designed to meet WCAG AA and make video content usable by people with disabilities as well as multilingual audiences.
The Real ROI of Digital Accessibility with Wistia's Co-founder and CTO, Brendan Schwartz
Q: How does accessibility translate into real business value beyond compliance?
Accessibility broadens your audience, improves usability for everyone, and often leads to higher quality products. It also reduces future refactoring by building inclusivity into the core design, which can be a competitive differentiator.
