The Startup Different Pod

@UCGLFgAAN58OJ_py606vtpKw - 20K subscribers

Startup Different is what happens when two brothers who’ve built and sold startups start debating whether AI is taking over — or just overhyped. Brothers and entrepreneurs Dave and Chris bring humor, hard-earned experience, and a touch of chaos to a weekly breakdown of how artificial intelligence is reshaping business, startups, and work. Smart, funny, and occasionally wrong — it’s the award-winning AI podcast for people who still like humans.
