The Growth Podcast (Aakash Gupta) — Eric on OpenAI's original mistake and why Anthropic's LTBT structure is different

Aakash Gupta — product-management writer to 1M+ subscribers — releases an Eric conversation framed around governance as a study of power relationships: the Sam Altman firing as OpenAI's structural design failure, Dario Amodei's three funding rounds defending Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust, and Costco as the 'governance fortress' whose returns crush the S&P 500.

“Eric's read is that if you've ever wondered why Anthropic seems a little more courageous than the other labs, that structure is why. Most first-time founders chicken out when the stakes get high. Dario has a structure built to support his conviction.” — Aakash Gupta on LinkedIn
