It changed into a busy week on the IPO front, Danny changed into buried in getting the Tonal EC-1 out, and Natasha took a whereas off. But the host trio managed to prep and story a point to that changed into honestly a kick to story, and we think, a pleasure to listen to to!

• The Substack dialog: Does the unique $65 million examine make sense? What’s Substack? Does it contain a moat? Why is Natasha’s URL so significantly better than Alex’s?
