Intro

Scott Belsky, partner at A24 and former Chief Product Officer at Adobe, joins us to explore how AI is reshaping the creative process. We talk about the rise of taste as a differentiator in a world of infinite content, the shift from production to ideation, and how brand-building evolves when machines can generate at scale.

Scott also shares his perspective on the importance of story and process, why behind-the-scenes footage will matter more than ever, and how creators can cut through the noise by focusing on authenticity and meaning. We dive into his view that we're still in the early innings of the AI-creative intersection, and why that may be a good thing.

We also covered Glean’s $7.2 billion valuation, Mistral’s new reasoning models, Linear’s $82 million fundraise, and Snap’s upcoming consumer AR glasses, Specs, set to launch in 2026.
