In this segment, Shaan Puri (Speaker A) recounts the rise of the live‑audio app Blab, highlighting its adoption by major brands such as the NBA, UFC, and Oracle. He emphasizes that none of these high‑profile users matched the impact of Martin Shkreli, who became Blab’s most dominant power user. Shkreli’s first appearance instantly filled a room with about 5,000 participants, and his unscripted, producer‑free style generated nightly entertainment that kept thousands engaged for hours. The anecdote illustrates how a single charismatic figure can dramatically amplify user engagement on a social platform.

Chapters

We had an app called Blab. The NBA started using it. UFC started using it. Oracle. But none of them could hold a candle to our number one power user, Martin Shkreli. Martin Shkreli came on the app and basically broke the app from day one. First time he came on, instantly the room filled up to like 5,000 people. He is the most lethal weapon in social media. He was the master at creating nightly entertainment. You guys can't touch this guy in terms of nightly entertainment because he has no producers, no script, no nothing. He would hop on and somehow or another he would cause enough ruckus that this room would have thousands of people in it all night long. Watching it. Like, we were hooked to it.
