Welcome to this Classics episode.

Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month.

These are end-of-one conversations with end-of-one people.

Brad Jacobs' simple principle of think big, move fast is one I think about often.

He is a true force of nature, and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Here's a puzzle.

What do OpenAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Vercel, Plaid, and hundreds of other winning companies all have in common?

The answer is that they're powered by today's sponsor, WorkOS.

If you're building software for enterprises, you've probably felt the pain of integrating SSO, SCIM, RBAC, audit logs, and other features required by big customers.

WorkOS turns those deal blockers into drop-in APIs with a modern developer platform built specifically for B2B SaaS.
