The Central Nervous System for Modern Business | Confluent CEO Jay Kreps

The apps and websites we use every day depend on systems most of us never see.

Jay Kreps joins Joubin Mirzadegan to share how Confluent became the ‘central nervous system’ for companies like Expedia and eBay, letting them respond to business operations instantly.

They also break down why the myth of AI-driven efficiency falls short, and why building truly transformative companies takes far longer than most people expect.

Guest: Jay Kreps, Co-Founder & CEO of Confluent
