All right, everybody, welcome back to the All In podcast. I'm your host, Jay Powell from Japan here, cutting turns in Niseko and at E1I, and we have an incredible lineup today. As always, the chairman dictator Chamath is here to reign supreme. How are you doing, brother?
I'm just wearing my kimono as I want to do here on the All In podcast.
I just decided in 2025, I'm going to live my best life and I'm going to do everything. Anybody asked me to do something, I'm saying yes.
Okay. So, and yeah, I'm over the moon right now. And then I'll be going to the inauguration to see all my friends. and celebrate the big Trump victory and tape an episode there. With us, of course, David Freberg, your resident sultan of science. And not a moment too soon, we have so much to talk about. What's the background here? Those are some dead trees with Mount Fuji in the background?
Ah, yes, I know about this. I got off the ski lift and I saw this after I had posted like, oh, my life is amazing. And I was like, oh, my God. You know, you can totally and everybody replied like, are you in the room? And I'm like, oh, my Lord. This is unbelievable. We'll obviously talk about that.
Yes, I put $500 behind it to boost it to try to get my ratings up. No, I actually literally deleted it because I posted it. And I never do that. But I posted a video where I was like, oh, my God, it's incredible. And I was like, you know what? This is the wrong time for it. So a little grace there, folks.
And I am so happy to have here on All In Idol, the one, the only, my good friend, Cyan Bannister. No, our good friend. She's my good friend before you guys met her. So I'm sure she's ours, but I've been friends with her longer. So my good friend, Cyan Baxter, our good friend and our bestie. Let's just leave it at that. It doesn't have to be a competition for who Cyan likes best.
We'll ask her to rate at the end of the episode. Cyan, welcome to the program.
Well, I mean, Cyan and I fought in the Clone Wars together. It was a long time ago. But she's a technologist, self-made individual, who then decided she would start writing small angel checks about 14 years ago. Literally the same year I did. And myself, Cyan, of all... She's done profoundly better than you. She's done incredible, yes, of course. We'll get into it.
And Cyan and I would, 14 years ago, I guess, we would meet startup companies together and host little events where we get together and take pitches. And we invested in a couple of companies together, and it worked out very nicely for everyone involved. Yeah.
I got to check my... Yeah, and I don't think you're allowed to say them.
Let me check my Google sheet here. I didn't know I invested in Uber. Let me check. I have to confirm that. Oh, yeah, I did. But at one of these events, I introduced Cyan to Uber.
Yeah, it's been a good run. It's been a good run. And also, I'll just add, a wonderful human being. And if you ever had the chance to hang out and talk for a couple of hours, Cyan would be one of those people that you'd put right at the top of the list.
Why did it hit you so deeply?
I love it. Yeah. Well, it's true. Cyan was voted most humble in our angel investing group, and I was a close second. So I almost won most humble. More work to do being humble. I'm going to get you a t-shirt called the humblest. No, you have to borrow it from Chamath. He's had it for the last 10 years.
What is it called?
We taped the NBC pilot for The Accelerator or The Incubator. So I had been approached and did a pilot for NBC called... the accelerator and they spent like a half million dollars on this and you guys came on and it came out great. And it was just going to, you know, follow me around angel investing.
Exactly. I don't know if I ever told you guys the story, but literally, they were figuring out where to put this and what time slot. They were like, we're going to do it in the summer because we're trying to get some summer programming going. That's what we're going to test up. And then Harvey Weinstein turns out to be an horrible monster and the whole thing gets canceled.
And anything that was anywhere within 100 miles of Harvey Weinstein got canceled, including my failed or forgotten reality TV show. All right, let's get to more important things. There is an unbelievable tragedy occurring in Los Angeles as we're speaking.
