So thankful for this podcast!
Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke endorsed the idea of allotting a greater proportion of voting power to those with more money. And you’re doing ads to help him make more money? Don’t lend your name to Shopify pls.

Jon and his guests are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and funny — all while respecting the weight of the topics they cover.
