AI founder interviews
Most AI founder pages scream features. This one quietly asks, How can I blow your mind? Then it walks you, step-by-step, to the only logical answer: hand over your email to get what these builders actually use. The whole layout feels like a chat with a sharp operator who already did the homework for you.
The page mimics a DM thread: you say you want to see what big AI thinkers are building, and boom, you get video thumbnails. You say you prefer audio, and instantly, a row of podcast app icons appears. Finally you ask for the playbooks these founders use, and that triggers the real CTA: an email field plus a bright Get it button. Every message on screen escalates intent and makes the opt-in feel like your idea, not a pushy form.
The Next New Thing turns a static podcast page into an interactive founder playbook funnel by stacking video, audio, and then an email-only bonus.
