Is this the first guest lecture that’s sponcon? I didn’t love it, especially when halfway thru I felt like something was off, and had to read to the end to find out it was sponsored.

Thanks for the feedback. It mentions that it's sponsored in the first paragraph + in the intro post earlier this week.

I’d pay more to ensure we don’t have to indulge in sponsored content. Even with disclaimers, it erodes the value.

Also not a fan of a guest lecture being sponsored content but I know that this can be valuable for you as a creator, so I do understand if it’s part of the Feed Me cycle.

One of the reasons I enjoy Substack is generally the lack of spon con. It feels like sacred space haha!

Good interview to get a Founder's POV. I liked the clarity of Clayton's answers and his avoidance of any pontificating!

I did. (JPM private wealth does serve really good cookies and snacks so there's that.)

Reading about going Founder Mode at the tailgate. His candidness convinced me to bookmark Titan for later so I appreciate that.

great interview but UGH I’m so sad that this means we basically side stepped the Olivia Nuzzi scandal due to the media cycle. would’ve been interested to see if/how you’d cover it given her previous guest lecture

If it’s gonna be sponsored, at least give us an access code to try out the app! I mean what’s the point of hearing this guy yap about new features in this app we can’t even try out?
