Episode 25 of Notorious B2B is stacked with hot takes, and some savage career moves. First, Tim and Tas break down how Drift’s Salesforce integration was compromised, leading to widespread data theft that even pulled in Google Workspace accounts. Then it’s on to Databricks hitting a $100B valuation making it one of the most valuable startups on earth and why their 50% YoY revenue growth has investors piling in. The circle back section gets juicy: Duolingo’s former social lead Zaria Parvez leaves with a viral mic-drop illustration (literally sitting on the dead owl) as she heads to DoorDash, TitanX sparring with cold callers over “validated” numbers, and LinkedIn influencers getting called out for job-hopping hypocrisy. Plus: Canva turns employees into overnight millionaires and donates 80% of founder stakes to charity, and a freelancer discovers someone impersonated her on Slack—camera off, voice excuse and all.
What’s inside: • Salesforce + Drift integration hacked, data stolen • Databricks joins the $100B valuation club • Duolingo’s ex-social media managers savage farewell + social role salary drama • TitanX under fire (again) for connect rates • Kyle Coleman getting wrongful shade over “mission hopping” • Canva employees cash in big while founders donate 80% to charity • Impersonation scam: fake portfolio, fake Slack presence, real creepy stuff Connect with the hosts: Tim Davidson – linkedin.com/in/tadavidson41 Tas Bober – linkedin.com/in/tasbober Subscribe for more no-BS breakdowns of the internet’s wildest B2B moments.
