We spent so much time fighting for a seat at the table — we forgot to ask for the menu. This is the first episode of Black Box Theory.

Malcolm and Thomas introduce themselves, explain why two engineers at one of the world's biggest tech companies started a podcast, and break down the unwritten rules nobody teaches you after college — from AI and your career to why social media's version of success is a trap.
