Friends —
Last week I joined as Co-Founder & President of PodStreet AI — an AI-powered podcast intelligence network. My co-founder Avi Savar built the platform; I came in to run the business.
What PodStreet does: we monitor 300+ business podcasts every week, extract structured intelligence (share-of-voice, sentiment, key quotes, named-host coverage, debate detection), and deliver it as executive briefings every morning.
Bloomberg for podcasts.
Three publications live (Cult of Brands, CX-O, Velocity Meter), five more in development.
Why I'm telling you: I've been running things in parallel for years. AI Summit NYC. Torque AI. Several other lists and initiatives. They all stay alive in some form, but PodStreet is now my 100% focus.
The early traction has been overwhelming — UST (SAP's leading AI services partner), EY's agentic AI team, Fitch Solutions, Stansberry Research, Masterworks, Stocktwits, Kitco, Kyndryl, and Lowenstein Sandler are all in active diligence in week one. You don't get a category-opening signal like that twice.
Which means the other lists are going quiet. The AI Summit NYC is canceled. Torque AI & Torque Academy continue but with reduced bandwidth. The AI Alliance NYC is dormant. If you've been on multiple of my lists, you'll feel that quiet over the next few weeks.
Here's what I'd love instead.
Subscribe to PodStreet. It's free. It's the only thing I'm sending from now on. And it's the work I'm proudest of by a long shot.
If PodStreet isn't your speed, no hard feelings. The unsubscribe links on every list still work the same way. I'd rather have a smaller list of people who genuinely want what we're building than a big list of people getting noise from me.
Thanks for being here over the years. The energy around what we're building is real, and a lot of you are part of why.
