    Erik Torenberg, Amjad Masad

    Replit CEO Amjad Chaudry transformed his company from a pre-revenue startup into a profitable entity by leveraging a "build in public" strategy that utilized personal storytelling and exposure therapy to manage public scrutiny.

The discussion further outlines how leaders can navigate viral mechanics on platforms like X and Instagram while adopting risk management tactics such as acknowledging mistakes to turn potential crises into positive engagement.
