The controversial hosts of The All-In Podcast announced that they are looking for a chief executive officer for their brand.
“We’ve decided to hire a CEO for All-In,” said Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital and the so-called SPAC King. “Old media is broken. Talking heads, selling ads, inciting anger, with one-sided discourse has become tiresome and is deeply damaging the social fabric.”
To address this, Palihapitiya said they want to “create a new kind of media and live events brand and business,” which presumably would be using the All-In brand in some form.
“We’re looking for a CEO to run All In, which is currently the pod and summit, but we plan on expanding to a membership that would give access to series of events across the globe,” said Jason Calacanis, an angel investor and former CEO of his media company Rising Tide Studios.
In May 2022, the podcast platform held its inaugural All-In Summit in Miami. It brought together prominent figures from the business and tech sectors to engage in discussions centered around the theme, “What problem do you want to solve right now?”
Palihapitiya and Calacanis host The All-In Podcast with David Sacks, co-founder of Craft Ventures and former CEO of enterprise social networking service Yammer, and David Friedberg, CEO of The Production Board.
According to their website, the CEO will be tasked to lead the production team responsible for video and audio content, including setting goals and growth metrics for media products, launching new initiatives, producing elite live events worldwide, and developing monetization models for in-person events. The chief executive will also evaluate and recommend new products and services, own the profit and loss, and report directly to the Board (which would be the four hosts, or “besties”).
“Given the growth and interest in live in-person events and additional content, we are now hiring a CEO to help us manage All-In and help scale the business.”
In terms of qualifications, they said they are looking for “an executive with a decade of experience scaling a high-end brand while building a strong community with digital and in-person content and experiences.”
“You are hungry. You are a fan of All-In and believe in the ethos of active open-minded discourse, understand the value of close friendship, and living one’s best life,” the website writes about the applicant they are looking for.
The hiring post also calls for applicants to be well-versed in current digital trends and excel in delivering impactful digital content and thrives in organizing impactful live events that promote community and influence.
“You live and die by the numbers… You are happy to get your hands dirty and do the work. You love to build,” it adds.
The website leads to a link for a Google Form where interested applicants can upload their resumes.
While there are no announced legitimate applications, observers on X (fka Twitter) have made some interesting suggestions and insights.
