36 min - Spicy Mode Bro’s with Biz/Dev | Ep. 191
David and Gary sit down to talk shop—this time turning the mic on themselves.
They swap thoughts on where tech is headed in 2026, from the real breakthroughs to watch to the hype that won’t make it past Q1. Along the way, they pull back the curtain on Teela’s pilot launch—why they built it, what it’s solving right now, and how it fits into the bigger picture of AI-powered software.
It’s an unfiltered look at what’s next in tech, the risks worth taking, and why building the right product at the right time still comes down to equal parts instinct and execution.
