Quick Coffee

In this week’s Quick Coffee, Felix and Pat explore one of the most critical shifts happening in the startup ecosystem: founders must now become creators. They discuss how AI has made product building radically easier, but also why that’s no longer enough. With attention harder to earn than ever, the conversation dives into why distribution, personal branding, and authentic content are the new core skills for founders. Learn how teams are using Lovable and Superscale to build and distribute fast, and why your audience may matter more than your product. Grab a coffee and listen in!

In this week's Quick Coffee, Felix and Patrick dive into Apple's controversial new "liquid glass" design system that has everyone talking. They discuss why the real innovation isn't the glass effects everyone's complaining about, but the shift toward interfaces that actually adapt to how you use them. The conversation covers Apple's bigger vision for the future, why Siri still feels broken, and how we're moving toward a world where your Spotify looks completely different from everyone else's based on your listening habits.
