When Cybersecurity Becomes an AI Agent's Job - Marina Segal

Mark Pincus Built Zynga on One Rule. AI Founders Are Breaking It. | Mark Pincus (Zynga)

Mark Pincus is the founder of Zynga, which went from a poker app on Facebook to a $12.7 billion acquisition by Take-Two Interactive. His new book, Life at the Speed of Play, introduces the Proven Better New framework: kill your ego, copy what works, and innovate only the core. In this episode, Pincus explains why AI has made the MVP trap worse, not better. He shares the "failure machine" concept he still hasn't seen anyone build, the white tiger story that turned a Friday night into a hundred thousand dollars, his Sunday Morning Joy ritual, and why he believes AI will make founders work more, not less. He also describes the two Zynga decisions he would reverse today, why public company founders need a wartime board, a thirty-two-year journaling practice called the Book of Life, and why he pulled the plug on a four-year project the moment AI-native startups started doing it better.

Engineers Are Losing Power to Creatives | Ariel Klikstein & Barak Friedman (Elementor / Sticklight)

Ariel Klikstein co-founded Elementor, the visual builder behind 20 million websites and 13% of the top internet. Barak Friedman leads marketing at Sticklight, Elementor's full-stack creation platform for professionals. Ten years in, vibe coding lets anyone build a website by talking to an AI. So what happens to the people who built careers doing exactly that? In this conversation, Klikstein admits he's "one of the late bloomers in vibe coding," explains how he rebuilt his entire workflow around AI (from Cursor to Gemini to Claude), and describes why Sticklight was born from the same DNA as Elementor itself: freeing people from code. Friedman breaks down how smaller teams with broader skillsets are replacing large specialized departments, and how his own marketing team discovered enso through an AI agent running SEO research. Mickey Haslavsky names the shift: the "era of soul." When AI can generate 200,000 songs a day and build a landing page in minutes, the only thing left is taste, vision, and the human touch on top. Both guests agree. Klikstein puts it plainly: "Suddenly the power goes to creative people. People who aren't necessarily engineers. That's the change."
