Jay Singh is the co-founder and CEO of Casper Studios, a bootstrapped AI product studio that, among many other things, built the Stranger Things × Netflix voice AI activation (400K+ calls). 

In this episode, we dig into:

- How he uses Claude Code + Cursor + MCP to automate BD from LinkedIn connections to qualified pipeline
- The "singles and doubles" framework: modular AI builds that cut hedge fund Q&A prep by 80%
- Why he chose deterministic AI over generative for a Netflix brand activation and what that tells us about AI's real edge

Scott Pollack spent 20 years building partnerships at giants like American Express and WeWork. Then he noticed something: the partnerships professionals he worked with had no profession, no training, no certifications, no community. So he built one.                                                                                          

Scott is the CEO and co-founder of Firneo, the leading learning community for partnerships professionals, and heads member programs at Pavilion. In this episode, we dig into:

- How 20 years in partnerships led him to build the community infrastructure the profession was missing
- Why the average partner manager has 30 portals, 30 Slack groups, and 30 newsletters, and nobody looks at any of them
- What separates a community people actually show up to from one that gets ignored
- What changes when you stop managing a partner program and start managing a community
- Why community might be the only distribution strategy that cuts through the noise

Whether you're an ecosystem leader sitting on 500 active partners or a partnerships professional wondering what comes next, this conversation will change how you think about your partner program.
