The Reasoning Show
The Reasoning Show AI moves fast. Thinking clearly matters more.
The Reasoning Show cuts through the hype to explore how the smartest people in enterprise AI actually make decisions — the strategy, the tradeoffs, and the hard lessons no press release mentions.
Every week, hosts Aaron Delp and Brian Gracely sit down with the founders building the tools, investors funding the shift, and operators running AI in the real world. Not hype. Not panic. Just clear-headed conversations with people who have to make actual decisions.
Because the AI revolution isn't just happening. It's being reasoned through.
New shows every Wednesday and Sunday.

SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. I’ve been listening to your show, Software Defined Talk, for quite a while. Tell us about your show, your co-hosts and the types of things you discuss on the show?
Topic 2 - What are some of the biggest trends you’ve seen (or been discussing) so far in 2019? Anything really surprise you?
- Big IPOs in 2019 - AirBnB, Uber, Lyft, Pinterest, WeWork, Zoom, etc. - the GigEconomy

- OSS licensing wars

- VMware + Heptio + Pivotal + Bitnami= ?
- VMware now has a managed offering in AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, GCP, Alibaba
Topic 3 - AWS has continued to be the leading public cloud for a decade now. Do you see anything slowing AWS down?
Topic 4 - There were lots of articles earlier in the year about big public cloud contracts between web companies and the public cloud (hundreds of millions in cloud spending). Many of those companies are now struggling as they have gone IPO. If they struggle to make revenue (and subsequently their cloud payments), do you see this having any effect on sentiment about public cloud?
Topic 5 - There is starting to be some noise in the news and the markets about a potential economic slowdown. How much do you think about what that might mean to the tech indus
