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 - Kin, for those out there that maybe haven’t heard of you, give everyone a brief introduction.

Topic 3 - As you mention on the API Evangelist website. APIs are more than technology. The headline of the website is “making sense of the technology, business, and politics of APIs since 2010. What do you mean by that? How does business and politics come into play with APIs.

Topic 5 - Follow up to API First question. Let’s talk about API First companies, we often hear about the poster children: Twilio, Stripe, and SendGrid for instance. Are they still valid examples? Who are the latest examples and use cases?
