Six months of salary. That's what Matt Mullenweg offered every Automattic employee to resign if they didn't believe in the company's direction. About 9% took the offer and left.

The shift toward Harris in silicon valley is very real. Seeing more momentum in this direction each day from founders, vcs, and more. Growing view that Trump was chaotic and unpredictable, and Harris can be a more stable, pro tech, pro business President.

The reference to "founders" in the speech was the first I can ever remember from a presidential candidate. It struck me as very powerful and very modern.
Great speech. She talked about being pro small business and founders. She talked about the need for innovation and leading in AI. She pushed for the middle class. She committed to Israel’s safety, while acknowledging the need to end the war and suffering. She’s a centrist.

I'm thrilled to share this trailer to launch my new podcast, The Eric Ries Show -- an ongoing series of conversations about company building for the future we all deserve. I've had an incredible time already talking to founders, executives, deep thinkers and others about how their focus on purpose as the natural complement to profit -- rather than its sworn enemy -- has led them to redefine what organizations are for and who they affect. Among my guests so far are @timoreilly, @ThisIsSethsBlog , @ritun, and @jamesreinhart: Many more are scheduled to sit down with me in the coming months.
