Jordi Hays — TBPN · AI Viruses, OpenAI's First Device, WSJ Mansion Section | Samir Kaul, Patrick Wendell, Grant LaFontaine · 2026-08-07Have a good one. Cheers. Bye-bye. Let me tell you about Shopify. Shopify is the commerce platform that grows with your business, that lets you sell in seconds online, in-store, on mobile, on social, on marketplaces, and now with AI agents. And we have a very special guest next. He was, he was caught, photographed by some paparazzi. I saw it on Getty Images. I think we got the photographer in the studio. We got Dylan Field, the co-founder and CEO of Figma. Dylan, how's it going? Good.
John Coogan — TBPN · SpaceX SPV Gone Wrong, Intel's Comeback, Dylan Field Joins | Aditya Agarwal, Ariane Gorin, Nick Thompson, Chris Power, Christian Mochen · 2026-08-06I use No Mercy, No Malice as an incubator for new ideas and catharsis—things I'm thinking about but haven't been able to express. The good ideas usually survive our editorial meetings and become posts. The best ideas, i.e., those that resonate deeply, turn into chapters in books. We want to be fearless and spark a conversation by wading into dangerous waters. The struggles of young men, college admissions, antisemitism, tech valuations, Trump. A byproduct of my writing is criticism. A win, as I believe that criticism is the receipt for actually saying something. Also, often I just plain get it wrong. We sold L2 for 8 times revenue, in part because we manufactured scarcity, saying no to potential clients, and had a good subscription model. Our competitive advantage in a crowded marketplace, however, wasn't a function of our proprietary data and analysis but our commitment to investing in creative differentiation. As my business partner and the chief creative officer at L2, Katherine Dillon, often reminds me, we hired our third animator before hiring our first salesperson. We also spent thousands of dollars licensing Getty Images photos because we viewed our reports not as dry white papers, but as magazines that pull our clients deeper into the story. As Katherine said in a recent presentation on design as a differentiator, "There are a lot of wonderful storytellers, Scott among them, but I think the visuals associated with No Mercy, No Malice separate it from the pack." Katherine is biased and correct. One frequently asked question from readers: Do you draw those charts yourself? Answer: No, but the woman who created the visual style for No Mercy, No Malice deployed hand-drawn grayscale illustrations to communicate a personal and professional tone that lets readers feel like they're inside an idea incubator. In other words, Catherine and the designer nailed it. One of the joys of podcasting is meeting your listeners in real life and discovering that most people are lovely. Newsletters, sadly, don't go on tour. On the internet, spam, bots, and bad faith actors conspire to reduce our expectations for humanity. As I've previously written, most people, including me, are lesser versions of themselves online. Vulnerable writing is a full-contact sport that exposes you to injury. It's also incredibly powerful. One of the most popular posts I've ever published was about putting down our dog Zoe.
George Hahn — The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · No Mercy / No Malice Turns 10 · 2026-07-25Yeah, it's just, it's just reminding, it's just reminding me of the, of the whole Getty Images Shutterstock deal, which is, was announced in January of last year. It was a $2 billion merger at the time. Now both companies are worth roughly like $300 million in the public market.
Speaker A — TBPN · IBM Nukes, Demis Govt Plan, Paramount WBD Deep Dive | Dylan Byers, Noah Schochet, Saam Motamedi, Ioannis Antonoglou, Jack Dent, Evan Burns & Jamie Seltzer, Tyler Page · 2026-07-14So this is on the basis that California is trying to block the Paramount, the Paramount acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery. Rohan says, I'm told that If the states do choose to sue, they would have to assume the damages stemming from that action. Chiefly, $600 million to $1.2 billion in ticking fees would potentially be paid out to state taxpayers. So if they leave, those fees would not be paid to the state. Paramount just issued this response to the state AG lawsuit. Brian Stelter is breaking it down, saying the complaint distorts settled antitrust law and is based on misrepresentation of competition in the, in the entertainment industry today. So Paramount is weighing whether to shift major operations out of California after Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other state attorneys general— I always get that wrong— filed today to block its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This story was back and forth. Will Netflix get it? Paramount wound up with the highest bid. The most cash to offer. It got approved. Huge windfall for David Zaslav over at Warner Bros. Discovery, but a very controversial acquisition. All the shareholders. Yeah, everyone did very well, but people were very worried because they owned two, two historic studio lots in Los Angeles. Would they need both of those? Would they convert one to apartment buildings? This was sort of the nightmare case for fans of Hollywood filmmaking that it would become a more agile, lean, globally distributed studio, that would they be making less films, would they change their pattern? Because as they are two separate buyers of intellectual property and scripts that come to Hollywood, they can pay higher prices, there's less competition, potentially the price of the— that the industry becomes more monopolistic and there's less buying activity. So the proposed deal was the— and is the largest merger in Hollywood history. It would combine 2 of the 5 major film distributors and give the resulting company control of roughly 27% of US film distribution and basic cable channels. Of course, anyone who's in favor of this was arguing that, well, people are watching Instagram and YouTube all day long and listening to podcasts and livestreams. You can't look at Hollywood in isolation. It's okay if there's a little bit of consolidation in an industry that's facing incredible pressure from a new disruptive industry. Uh, we saw this play out with the Shutterstock Getty Images question where you have immense pressure in the stock image market from an entirely new outsider technology. Consolidation makes a lot of sense usually in those scenarios. Um, but if you're just looking at it, if you're just defining the industry as only Hollywood studios, then yes, this is— this does represent more consolidation. Friends and advisors to Paramount CEO David Ellison had reportedly been urging him to reconsider the company's California footprint in the event that California sued over the deal. Previously, Paramount had offered to keep both of its historic studio lots in California open and release 30 films annually, which was basically just adding the 15 and 15 that were made from both Studios, I believe, something like that. But executives have privately complained that Bonta refused to negotiate. Worth noting that the Justice Department has already cleared the merger while China and other international regulators have raised no comparable, comparable objections thus far. So from an antitrust perspective, it looks like the merger can go through, but the state of California is potentially trying to block it now. So Paramount says California's complaint distorts settled antitrust law and is based on misrepresentation of competition in the entertainment industry today. It'd be very interesting to see where they actually go if they do leave California. There's been so much, so much movement to Texas and Florida, but in terms of filmmaking, Toronto, London, Atlanta. Exactly. So maybe Georgia. I don't know. I'm sure every other state is gunning for this because bringing in, bringing an industry to town is almost always a good to move more jobs for your local economy, more tax dollars going around. There will probably be a competition, but we'll see where this develops. And we might have someone from the media analysis industry come on the show later this week to discuss.
