New ep with Matthew Mottola, CEO of Human Cloud. Early access for fountain_app (nprofile…5gem) subs now.
He told me:
- 40% layoffs are coming at large companies
- He's automated 98% of his company's podcast workflow with Claude
- Most agencies are quietly run by freelancers
- Google runs on 60% contractors and doesn't advertise it
- Universities are mostly a waste unless it's Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford or Harvard
We disagreed on plenty. Especially the AI bit.
