OnlyFounders
What really happens when two founders hit record?
Welcome to OnlyFounders, the unfiltered podcast where Anne Gillaspie and Matt Lo—two wildly different founders with wildly good chemistry—let you eavesdrop on the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors.
From the brand therapist brain of Anne (Fix & Form) to the tech-obsessed mind of Matt (ChipBot), these are the deep dives, off-the-rails riffs, and philosophical rabbit holes that business owners crave but rarely get. Think of it as your morning coffee with two founders who aren’t afraid to disagree, throw a little shade, and get real about the humanity and science of building things that last.
Business. Branding. Technology. Psychology. Strategy. Swearing. It’s all on the table.
Grab your mug. You’re invited.

039: The End-of-Year Crunch Mindset
Matt and Anne dive into the strange tension between being wildly busy yet weirdly unfazed by it. Matt’s been running on four to six hours of sleep while juggling new ChipBot features, US Open training, and a schedule only a “partial nomad worker” could maintain — yet insists he’s not brain-dead, just operating in “GPT-5 Thinking Mode.” Anne challenges him on how he stays functional, which leads them both into a conversation about adrenaline, flow, burnout, and why table tennis gives Matt something business never can.
🚨 Stuff You’ll Want to Remember:
- “Hard decisions are the easiest ones — it’s the small ones that stop you in your tracks.” — Matt
- “Your kids’ memories are built from the input you give them.” — Anne
