The Gregory and Paul Show: A weekly livestream where tech, strategy, and internet culture collide. Broadcasting every Friday at Noon, Gregory and Paul break down the latest in startups, SaaS, AI, and whatever the internet is arguing about that week. Expect smart takes, dumb takes, a few hot ones, and more than a few memes. The show streams live on X and LinkedIn. ️ Episode 001 – Highlights Messaging MayhemThe episode opens with a rant about the newly launched X Chat and its unusable desktop experience. Gregory and Paul share frustrations over managing conversations across Slack, Discord, and other tools. ‍ Slack Overload & Co-Working CultureGregory reflects on being part of 35 different Slack workspaces, while also reporting from a climate-focused co-working space in Seattle. The discussion compares startup incubators, bohemian founder vibes, and polished VC hangouts. AI Is the New CodeThey explore AI development tools like Cursor and Claude, and the shift toward prompt engineering as the new layer of abstraction in software development. MVPs Are Out, MSPs Are InChallenging startup orthodoxy, the duo argues that MVPs are outdated. Instead, they propose building only after someone commits to buy, coining the term MSP (Most Sellable Product). SaaS GTM TacticsA Reddit thread sparks discussion on improving SaaS revenue through better sales tactics: listening before demoing, pricing flexibility, onboarding support, and the dangers of free-tier users. Marketing Rules EverythingLooking at companies like Asana and Salesforce spending up to 78% of revenue on marketing, Gregory and Paul emphasize that even the best products need full-on media strategies to win attention. ♟️ Meme of the WeekA viral Magnus Carlsen clip leads to a humorous reflection on startup math: “50% of $10M beats 1% of $250M.” The episode wraps with laughs, and plans to bring guests onto future shows.
