This could be our best @BigShotPodcast episode yet. Jeffrey Katzenberg is a legend. Fired by Disney. Launched DreamWorks two weeks later. This episode is a masterclass in resilience. You need to check it out.

@colderoshay @alxclrk 👏

Sidekick responses got so much better yesterday. s/o to @alxclrk for sweating all the details on this one.

@JessFWilliams @BigShotPodcast definitely.

@harleyf @BigShotPodcast Iconic

@BigShotPodcast Fired by Disney. Launched DreamWorks two weeks later. This episode is a masterclass in resilience.

Fired by Disney… 2 weeks later he’s building DreamWorks with Spielberg. Jeffrey Katzenberg didn’t just bounce back — he built some of the movies that defined our childhoods. But this conversation isn’t about Hollywood. It’s about the mindset behind it all: • Why “failure can’t be fatal” • The rule he lives by: never let your memories be greater than your dreams • And the lesson that changed everything: you haven’t learned how to live… until you learn how to give From getting publicly fired… to creating Shrek, Lion King, and more — this is a masterclass in resilience, ambition, and playing the long game. This is an incredible episode with Jeffrey Katzenberg.

@SpiceP0dcast @BigShotPodcast very cool

@harleyf @BigShotPodcast Harry, I love this! I love the mission and would love to support it in any way I can. I'd also love to add this show to Spice so more people could get the best moments and chat with the content while watching.

@b_mogil @BigShotPodcast Irving wants to do the show too! And yes, JK is the greatest!

And you wonder why we have a healthcare crisis -where’s Canada on this list ??

Efficiency is just speed. Purpose is direction. A hamster wheel isn’t caused by being efficient. It’s caused by not knowing where you’re going. AI doesn’t trap you. It helps you move faster. So if you’re still stuck, it’s not the speed. It’s the direction. Vanessa’s right. AI just makes driven people even more driven.

V… you still in there? Blink twice if the AI has fully optimized you 😂 I get the take. I just don’t buy it. Efficiency is a tool, to buy time for impact, meaning, beauty, and purpose. Nothing to do with relaxing. Efficiency clears the mundane to make way for time on the impactful. If efficiency is your source of dopamine hits, you’ll end up a hamster on that wheel and not go anywhere.

The more I use ai the more I’m convinced we’re hardwired as humans to be addicted to efficiency. It just feels good. The fallacy is that we want to make tools so we can relax. The truth is the more efficient you become, the more you want to be EVEN more efficient. It feels powerful. Ai will probably turn more people into workaholics than it will generate lazy people.

@bentlegen My favourite city on the planet.

Montreal's one of my favourite cities. Super walkable, incredible food, and among the best public transit in NA. Some of the nicest WeWorks you'll find too. I come here every year, sometimes more. x.com/bentlegen/stat…

🇨🇦 taking the train to Montreal instead of driving so I can keep prompting 😅

@bentlegen brilliant move.
