In this episode, We discuss the recent ousting of Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI, and the lessons that can be learned from a business and marketing perspective. Sam Altman was fired by the company during a Google Meets call, leading to the resignation of other key members of the OpenAI team. We emphasize the importance of founder DNA and the negative impact that the loss of a passionate leader can have on a company. We also highlight the significance of maintaining control of the board and the potential consequences of disagreements between founders and board members.
