The roast
Bill calls himself Doc like he’s performing surgery, but the only thing he’s actually cutting is a 0.20% engagement rate. He’s teaching 345,000 people how to build a business, yet he can’t even convince 100 of them to hit like on his own posts.
About Bill
G'day, I'm Doc, Founder and CEO of Athyna, a global talent platform with two arms: Athyna Talent helps companies hire, manage, and retain world-class remote talent, and Athyna Intelligence, powering AI post-training with elite LATAM talent. I'm Melbourne-based, US-focused, and building across both hemispheres. It's a fun juggle. I also run Open Source CEO: a newsletter read by hundreds of thousands of founders, investors, and tech operators. Think deep dives, founder interviews, and the tools and resources I wish someone had handed me earlier. I'm also proud to be a top-ranked mentor and investor at Startmate, an investor at Blackbird VC, and an active angel investor, having backed beehiiv, Hyperbound, Humane, Metal, and others along the way. Outside of work, I like training, hiking, surfing, and reading. Also needing to walk the boss twice daily, my sausage dog, Ziggy. Through my 20s and early 30's, I have also travelled to 50-odd countries around the world. If you like travel, growing your business, or sausage dogs, feel free to reach out and say hi.

Amazon had 152 million. Apple had 400 million. Everyone thought iTunes was Apple going after the music business. Selling songs for 99 cents barely made money, and Apple knew it. Apple didn't care about the songs. They cared about the card on file. Once your card is in, buying anything else goes from a 30-second decision to a one-tap yes. Then came the run.

Meta built so much AI compute that it's now planning to sell the overflow, AWS style. The Meta Compute Initiative would sell access to AI models hosted on Meta's infrastructure, plus raw computing capacity a la CoreWeave. Wall Street's verdict: shares closed up 9%.
