Our guest this week is Matt Watts, a UK-based documentarian and podcaster who thrives on local storytelling. His show is an antidote to the current state of online doomscrolling and we couldn't recommend it enough.

I had @mattrouse1 on @newinternetpod to talk small business x AI.
Our conversation went down memory lane, getting nostalgic about the early internet. But we also got pragmatic, discussing how those without unlimited funding should consider AI.

I was thrilled to welcome @TBSocialist to @newinternetpod. Our conversation went in a few pretty insightful directions, from enshittification and AI's "jagged frontier" to the eventual governance of computing rights.

The challenge that so many get wrong in the product-market fit debate is it's always about *if* you can build it, not *for whom* you are building.
Know the pain point you're fixing and the audience for whom this applies ON DAY ONE.
