Firefly in the Dark Podcast
Conversations about how we interact with the world — and reality itself.
Brian Gant has been in the tech industry since 1991 — from small machine shops running Lotus 1-2-3 to Microsoft to the age of AI. In this conversation we trace the full arc: the PC revolution, the dot-com crash, the rise of social media, big data, and now AI. What did disruption actually look like from the inside? What did we get wrong? And what does someone who's seen it all think is coming next?
Most podcasts give a platform to leaders performing their success stories — polished narratives that sound true but don't match what people actually experience on the ground. We're not interested in that. We want the people who've actually been in the room. The ones with thirty years of experience who never got a TED talk. Real boots on the ground. No performance. Just what's actually true.
