Matt Reardon, Conor, Arden, Connor

Matt Reardon is departing 80,000 Hours to lead the programs team at the Institute for Law and AI, where he will focus on recruiting legal talent and translating AI governance frameworks into defensible statutory language following the veto of California's SB 1047. While Connor assumes temporary hosting duties and the organization reflects on recent team retreats and interpersonal dynamics, Reardon emphasizes a strategic shift toward direct work and shares career advice on building managerial trust. This transition concludes Reardon's tenure as host, marking a move to South Korea before his relocation to the United States to establish new initiatives in AI regulation.
