Top of Mind with Brad Porter
He built Amazon’s robot army. Then walked away. Why? To build something bigger. Top of Mind is a weekly 2–5 minute audio drop from Brad Porter—former Amazon VP of Robotics, Scale AI CTO, and now founder of Cobot. Each short episode delivers raw, unfiltered insights on leadership, automation, and the chaos of building at the edge of physical AI. From warehouse floors to the frontier of machine intelligence, this is what it sounds like when a Silicon Valley leader thinks out loud.
Top of Mind with Brad Porter
Hard Work
The first day in a new building really sets the tone. The best way to honor and thank your employees is to make that a great experience. But you also can’t lose sight of the fact that startups aren’t about nice working spaces… they’re about fighting for your early customers and succeeding with them.
Happy Labor Day everyone!
