All the minds in the world, now one question away. Watch what we’re building at @withdelphi.👇🏼

Robert Cialdini (@RobertCialdini) has spent his career studying one question: why do people say yes? His answer became Influence, the book that's shaped how the world sells, negotiates, and persuades for 40 years. A psychology professor who turned decades of research into the principles now taught in business schools everywhere, his books have sold over 7 million copies. Advice from the world's leading expert on persuasion has always gone to boardrooms and Fortune 500 companies. Now it's available to anyone, whether you're closing a major deal or asking for a raise.

Jake Xia earned his PhD at MIT, then spent 17 years at Morgan Stanley running trading and risk across New York, London, and Tokyo. In 2013, Harvard Management Company made him Chief Risk Officer, putting him in charge of risk for the largest university endowment in the world. Today, he’s also back at MIT, teaching how math powers financial markets and researching how complex systems behave. His digital mind is live, so you can ask the man who guarded Harvard’s billions how he thinks about risk: delphi.ai/jakexia

Alisa Cohn (@AlisaCohn) is one of the world's top executive coaches. She has spent decades coaching founders and leaders at companies like Google, Microsoft, Venmo, and Etsy, and wrote From Start-Up to Grown-Up, the playbook for founders growing into CEOs. Most founders will never get the chance to work with her. But they can talk to her Delphi. Try bring her whatever you're working through here: delphi.ai/alisacohn

Was going to Stanford worth it? Depends who you ask. Balaji Srinivasan (@balajis) Earned his PhD at Stanford and taught there before becoming Coinbase's CTO and a general partner at a16z. Worth it for him, he says, but he wouldn't tell you to go today: the pipeline to Silicon Valley is breaking. Ask him where he'd go instead → delphi.ai/balajis Celeste Amadon (@Celesteamadon) Met her co-founder at Admit Weekend, then dropped out to build Known, an AI dating app that's raised nearly $10 million. She says she couldn't have built it anywhere else: the people were the point, not the academics. Ask her when it's worth leaving → delphi.ai/celeste-amadon Dr. Elisa Song (@healthykidsl737) trained at Stanford, NYU, and UCSF and has spent 25 years as an integrative pediatrician, with a national bestseller on kids' health. Her answer: the credential was worth it, but her most valuable insights came from sitting with families, not a classroom. Ask her what the degree didn't teach her → delphi.ai/drelisasong Val Whiting Won two national championships playing basketball at Stanford and left as the conference's all-time leading scorer. She says the game gave her skill, but the real gift was the standard: everything there ran at championship level. Ask her what to look for in a school → delphi.ai/val-whiting Whatever question you're weighing right now, someone has already lived it. Ask them on Delphi.

On Delphi, every profile is built on the lived experience of a real expert. Before you trust someone with what matters, you can explore how they actually think.

In 2003, a 19-year-old co-created a piece of software and gave it away for free. It was WordPress, and today it powers over 40% of the web. Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) turned that idea into Automattic, the company behind WordPress, Tumblr, and WooCommerce, now past $500M in revenue. Along the way he's backed 100+ startups and spent two decades defending the open web. You can ask the father of WordPress anything. His digital mind is live: delphi.ai/photomatt

Julie Zhuo (@joulee) is one of the most influential design leaders in tech and the co-founder of Sundial.

Along the way she wrote The Making of a Manager, the book a generation of new managers learned from. You can chat with her digital mind here: delphi.ai/juliezhuo

Too many people I know got into startups because of The Social Network. @hnshah claims it ruined Silicon Valley. It turned startups into an outcome to pursue rather than something you do because you actually love building. And so instead of attracting true builders, it attracted hype-chasing tourists. He spent 20+ years building Crazy Egg, KISSmetrics, and Nira (acquired by Dropbox), invented playbooks the whole industry copied, and came back to run Crazy Egg again as CEO. Our conversation was one of the better reminders I've had recently that startups really aren't that deep. Have fun. Do things. Get in contact with reality. 1:02 - Bootstrapping vs. VC 5:27 - His Content Playbook Everyone Copied 10:25 - The Best Marketing Channels Are Secrets 25:52 - The AI Workflow He Figured Out Before the Frontier Labs 29:00 - The Social Network Ruined Startups 46:15 - The Only Startup Advice Worth Keeping
