Josh Browder is my favourite emerging manager. As the Founder of Browder Capital he has been the first check into unicorns like Micro1, Owner.com and Yuzu Health to name a few. He turned his Thiel Fellowship Grant of $100K into a whopping $10M angel portfolio. All new investments move into Josh's Four Seasons Residence where he then trains them on company building. They are only allowed to leave when they raise their seed round. In addition to this, Josh is the Founder & CEO @ DoNotPay, the now profitable company that has raised $22M from Marc Andreessen and others.  AGENDA: 00:00 Why I believe young founders make the best founders 02:10 What do I look for in founders I'm investing in? 10:00 How I test for founder commitment pre-investment 11:00 What do I want to see in the childhoods of the entrepreneurs that I back? 12:05 Why I make founders live with me in my Four Seasons residence after investing 14:00 There are three reasons why pre-seed companies fail and how I solve for them 15:45 What do I look for in a team to assure me they will last? 16:50 Is $5 million post still attainable in this world? 17:15 Should we be worried about the increasing levels of fraud at the early stages? 18:10 Which Silicon Valley investor was the most impressive? 20:00 Do VCs really add value? 20:50 Does university carry less value than ever and should founders drop out if they have a dream and an idea? 24:00 The advice of one lawyer changed the entire trajectory of this multi-million dollar company 28:10 I would never invest in someone that I met over Zoom 29:20 Are all the best founders you invest in delusional? 31:10 What is the biggest benefit of being a Thiel Fellow? 36:20 The problem of accelerators and why artificial constraints can enforce quality 38:20 How we used Mark Zuckerberg's house as a viewing instrument tool to get users 41:20 My pre-seed cheque in Micro One is now worth hundreds of millions and my lessons 43:20 The biggest mistake VCs are making in assessing founders 44:10 Why I will never tell the entrepreneur what to build and why I place little value on ideas 47:00 Why kingmaking is real and why you should accept half the price from a tier one firm 49:00 My biggest lessons on reserve investing 53:00 Why price rounds are bullshit and we should do more SAFEs 54:20 What all founders need to know about signing with a VC 55:10 Single biggest advice to founders on how to get the best price 57:30 What role does not exist today that will be massive in five years' time? 59:10 Stocks are bullshit.

When every networking engineer in Silicon Valley said TCP/IP was wrong for Ethernet, one IIT graduate from India ignored the consensus, built the internet's physical backbone, and still got passed over for CEO twice because of his ethnicity. Kanwal Rekhi, co-founder of TiE and the first Indian founder to list a venture-backed company on NASDAQ, joins host Akshay Datt to unpack the contrarian bets, the ruthless founder-evaluation framework, and his central provocation for the Indian startup ecosystem: India does not need more unicorns, it needs 10 million entrepreneurs. Born in what is now Pakistan in 1945, Kanwal Rekhi arrived in the US in 1967 as part of India's first IIT emigrant wave, survived three layoffs, and co-founded Excelan, the first company to commercialise Ethernet and TCP/IP, taking it public on NASDAQ in 1987 with $22M in revenue and 70-90% gross margins. He later served as EVP and CTO at Novell when it reached $12 billion in market cap as the world's second-largest software company, before co-founding TiE, today the world's largest entrepreneur network. In this conversation with host Akshay Datt, Rekhi reveals why he ignores TAM entirely when evaluating founders, how one pricing decision transformed Excelan from a near-failing startup into a near-90% gross margin business, and why the Indian startup ecosystem is building for the wrong 40% of the country. He also traces how his decision to open-source Unix at Novell seeded the ecosystem that scaled Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, and describes how Silicon Valley Quad backs first-time founders with $3M seed rounds and deep mentorship.

Patrick Bet-David and the panel break down Daily Wire's brutal layoffs, Ben Shapiro's collapse from 170M to 22M views, the failed “conservative Disney” bet, Jeremy Boreing's exit, and why building a billion‑dollar media machine on fragile personalities was a massive miscalculation.

#273: Learn to stop overthinking and make better decisions. Chris and Derek discuss how optimizing can go wrong, a coin flip trick for making decisions, journaling as a superpower, how your actions might reveal what you actually want, and more.

A lot of founders spend their lives chasing one big idea.Antonio Swad had two.The first? Migrating chicken wings from the Happy Hour buffet to the center of the plate.The second? Building a pizza business that catered to a very specific demographic: Latinos.That first idea became Wingstop, a deep-fried wing concept that grew to 3,000 stores.The second became Pizza Patron, a franchise that rewarded customers for ordering in Spanish, and let them pay in pesos.This is the story of how Antonio got there.He was a kid from Columbus, Ohio, working at a steakhouse straight out of high school…who eventually saw two big opportunities where no one else did.Wingstop was the breakout idea, but just as it was exploding, Antonio made a surprising decision. He sold the company.A $22 million deal.Only…the money did not materialize.What follows is one of the most surprising—and cautionary—tales we've told on this show: a single word buried in a contract that cost millions…and the moment Antonio realized he might never see the money he'd been promised.This episode is about instinct, risk, conviction—and why sometimes…your biggest success can lead to your biggest mistake.What you'll learn:Why simplicity can beat variety in building scalable restaurantsThe power—and peril—of franchising as a growth engineHow identifying an underserved customer segment can unlock explosive growthWhy your hero product isn't always what you think it is (hint: it's not the chicken)How one word in a contract can cost millionsTimestamps:00:09:11 – Fired from bartending for being “too intense”00:14:26 – Starting a pizza shop in Dallas with $11,00000:18:41 – Discovering an underserved customer base, and the power of word-of-mouth00:23:07 – Why franchising can be the ultimate scaling strategy00:24:09 – How Antonio realized wings could be a massive business00:36:37 – A bend in the road: Why the first Wingstop struggled00:50:29 – A bizarre vision at a football game: What if this stadium were full of chickens?01:07:09 – The $22M purchase… the missing $12M, and suing to get his money01:20:09 – Living in the moment post Pizza Patron and WingstopThis episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

Send us Fan MailThis week on Jaded HR, we dive into an HR nightmare that somehow checks every single box of what NOT to do.A pregnant employee. A doctor's note. A simple work-from-home request.And a company that said… “nah, come into the office.”What happened next? A $22 million lawsuit that has HR professionals, employment lawyers, and workplace experts all asking the same question: what were they thinking?We break down the now-viral case involving Total Quality Logistics and unpack the real-world implications around:Pregnancy accommodations in the workplaceRemote work policies vs. medical necessityHR compliance, FMLA, and legal riskHow rigid company culture can backfire (spectacularly)Along the way, we also get into:Why “HR is here to protect the company” isn't always the slam dunk people think it isThe dangers of blindly following policy without using actual human judgmentAnd yes… somehow TikTok HR advice catches a stray (as it should)If you're in Human Resources, leadership, or just enjoy a good corporate cautionary tale, this episode is equal parts insight, frustration, and “you've got to be kidding me.”Because sometimes protecting the company… means not handing someone a $22M reason to sue you.

Brandon Cobb went from getting fired to managing $22M in land development — and breaks down exactly how he did it and what almost wiped him out.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Brandon Cobb, fund manager and land development coach at Learn Land Development, to unpack one of the most underutilized strategies in real estate investing.Brandon shares the full journey:How getting fired from medical device sales launched his entrepreneurial pathThe three phases of land development — entitlement, development, and buildingHis golden rule: don't buy land until all approvals are in place (and the seven-figure lesson he learned the hard way)Why 600+ units in the pipeline doesn't require a massive teamHow he pivoted from vertical integration to a strategic partner modelWhy raising private capital is easier than most investors thinkHow he uses custom GPTs for due diligence, zoning reviews, and contract analysisThe biohacking habits (cold plunge, no alcohol, Whoop tracking) that fuel his performanceHis free 8-hour Land Development 101 course at learnlanddevelopment.comThis episode is for:Investors looking to move beyond flipping and rentalsOperators with existing cash flow who want to scale into developmentAnyone curious how to raise private capital for land dealsEntrepreneurs tired of being bottlenecked by overhead and employees

What does it actually take to generate $22 million across multiple creative businesses over 30 years? In this raw, behind-the-scenes solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the real highs, the hard lows, and the identity shifts that made all the difference.From leaving my Nordstrom job with a dream and a prayer, to scoring a $4,000 fax order from Twist in Portland, to experiencing bankruptcy and rebuilding with a completely new mindset. I map out the through-line that connects every pivot, every plateau, and every quantum leap I've taken as a creative founder. The secret? It was never just strategy. It was always identity first, sales rhythm second.I also share the 4V Founder Frequency (Vision, Voice, Visibility, Vibration) and explain why founder-led branding is not just a trend. It is the most powerful business asset you can build in an AI-saturated world. Plus, I share how The Launchpad (my daily audio coaching program) is helping creative founders step into iconic brand status every single day.In this episode, you'll discover:[00:00] The Launchpad intro: what daily alignment actually does for your sales[02:10] My 30-year journey: from jewelry designer to $22M founder across 5 businesses[08:17] The $4,000 Twist fax order that changed everything, and what hustle really means to me[11:32] Why sales is the lifeblood of your business (and how each pivot required a new rhythm)[15:00] The 4V Founder Frequency and why founder-led brands win in the age of AI[20:12] The bankruptcy moment at Whole Foods, and the identity work that rebuilt my confidence[25:00] How to become a vibrational match for the sales and income you desire[27:30] The Obsessed challenge and how to join my free 5-day sales eventHere are the resources mentioned in the show:The Launchpad, Daily Audio CoachingObsessed Challenge ( starts March 9)Desire AI (for jewelry designers)Are you enjoying the podcast?

Chris Walker built Refine Labs from $3,000 in the bank and $65K in debt to $22 million in revenue in roughly three years — 100+ employees, 350 software company clients, and arguably the most influential voice in B2B marketing. He created the "dark social" movement, redefined how an entire generation of marketers thinks about MQLs, and built a massive audience doing it. Then he walked away. Because the peak of the business was also the lowest point of his life.In this conversation, we get into what actually broke at the top, why changing your environment doesn't fix what's underneath, and what Chris means when he talks about "frequency" — stripped of the spiritual language and grounded in the engineer's brain he actually has. We debate whether you have to grind before you can transcend it, why limiting beliefs feel like facts, and why he thinks training your frequency will be as common as going to the gym within five years.We also go deep on extractive vs. regenerative systems — in business, content, social media, and relationships — and why the intention underneath your actions matters more than the actions themselves.I've been using Chris's ENCODED program for five months. I came in skeptical. I still have questions. But I can't deny what shifted. This one's worth your time whether you buy the concept or not.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy building a $22M company was one of the worst periods of Chris's life — and what that reveals about external vs. internal successWhat "frequency" actually means as identity + beliefs + intentions, without the spiritual languageWhy changing your job, city, or business doesn't work if you don't change the foundation underneath itThe difference between extractive and regenerative systems — in business, relationships, and how you show up as a leaderWhy limiting beliefs feel like facts, and how to spot the invisible ceiling you didn't know you builtHow the intention underneath your actions — in content, business, and life — determines the results you getWhy Chris thinks frequency training will be as mainstream as going to the gym within 3–5 yearsBOOKS & RESOURCES REFERENCEDShoe Dog by Phil Knight — https://a.co/d/05UhJN4T ENCODED Frequency Map — https://www.encoded.ai/ We Are Encoded Podcast — https://open.spotify.com/show/5eEzaXy4hUSqlvzD9ROqrz

Welcome back to Not Fintech Investment Advice, where Simon Taylor and I do what we do best: talk about fintech startups we're absolutely not giving investment advice on. First up is Trudenty, a fraud intelligence network tackling first-party fraud. It uses federated learning to let issuers, PSPs, and merchants identify repeat abusers without sharing raw data. They're starting with Worldline, JPMorgan Chase, and Mastercard, and keeping the pitch simple: they only sell one thing, and that one thing works. The stat that stuck with us? 80% of chargebacks are fraudulent. Next is TidalWave, agentic AI for mortgage point-of-sale. Instead of replacing loan officers, it works like a 24/7 assistant (one that handles follow-ups, corrects docs, and chases data). They've raised $22M, with the largest homebuilder in the U.S. on the cap table. It's mortgage tech that avoids the loan origination system entirely, steering clear of regulated decisions while cleaning up the messy front-end workflow that still kills conversion.  Then there's Kaaj, which is aimed at the part of small business lending that no software platform has ever fully cracked. Think about a business applying for a government-guaranteed loan or financing a new piece of equipment; lenders have to parse tax returns, bank statements, and identity documents that never look the same twice. The loans are too small for a credit team, but too complex for automation. Kaaj trains AI agents to read those documents and create the first draft of a credit memo that a human can review. The product solves a real problem, but the question is: can they win the category? Finally, FinReach Solutions in India tackles the gap between micro and small business credit. Lenders have money. Credit guarantors are willing to share risk. What's missing is the infrastructure between them. Every guarantee program runs on bespoke rules and manual forms. FinReach standardizes that process, automates the guarantees, and makes collateral-free lending possible at scale. Think of the US SBA, but rebuilt as actual software instead of paperwork. Plus, some closing manifestations: AI for mortgage POS should fix the front-end friction that causes borrowers to drop out; SMB lending needs an actual platform between public money and private lenders; and rising chargebacks might say less about fraud and more about good customers who are tired of being treated like suspects.

In this episode of The Eric Coffie Show, Eric reconnects with Randy Ward, a longtime student-turned-partner who went from asking questions in 2017 to closing $22 million in PPE contracts during the 2020 shutdown. Together, they share the highs and lows of that experience — the excitement of massive wins, the painful lessons of unfilled orders, and the resilience that defines every true GovCon entrepreneur. With another government shutdown now matching the longest in history, Eric and Randy reveal a major pivot: their upcoming GovCon Mastermind has been transformed into a two-day virtual Boot Camp—"Surviving with Certifications." Set for November 15–16, the event will stream live for Federal Help Center Pro members, offering insider strategies to thrive when others freeze. Whether you're intimidated, uncertain, or just not "ready" yet, this session will show how shutdowns can become your biggest growth opportunity. Key Takeaways Learn how Randy turned shutdown chaos into $22M in contracts — and what went wrong. Why fear and inaction keep small businesses from GovCon success. How to join the Surviving with Certifications boot camp and turn uncertainty into opportunity.

In this episode, we're joined by Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, CEO and Co-founder of Omnidocs, a SaaS company that's moving fast: €22M+ in revenue, 1,500 customers, 155 employees, and four acquisitions in the last 18 months after bringing in private equity for the first time. Jeppe breaks down what it really takes to turn a steady, profitable SaaS into a buy-and-build platform, from product alignment and enablement to the emotional reality of killing someone's “version 2.0” and managing the slowdown that almost everyone underestimates. We spoke with Jeppe about choosing PE over VC, building a 14-point M&A framework, and why one plus one rarely equals two in the first year. He explains the “integration foxtrot” (quick–slow–quick–slow), how to preserve culture across six offices and four countries, and why Omnidocs is betting big on the shift from traditional documents to “fluid formats” in the coming years.  Here are some of the key questions we address: What is the 14-criteria M&A evaluation framework, and what are the two instant disqualifiers? Why does every buy-and-build strategy start with a slowdown, and how do you shorten it? What makes product alignment the hardest part of M&A, and how do you decide when to kill a nearly-finished product? How do you structure integration squads and seven integration tracks across acquired companies? What does it take to enable sales teams to manage multiple products without slowing down new logo acquisition? How do you avoid overestimating cross-sell potential, especially in the first 12–18 months? Which are key roles and people to drive a successful pre, during and post-acquisition process?

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025 - Trump-Bibi Gaza plan; YouTube pays Trump $22M; EA's Kushner-Saudi buyout; Bad Bunny Super Bowl; Gov't shutdown looms Today's Headlines: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump stood at the White House to unveil a 20-point Gaza peace plan that starts with a 72-hour ceasefire and hostage release, phases out Israeli troops, and sets up a Trump-chaired “Board of Peace” with Tony Blair (yep, that Tony Blair). Hamas hasn't signed on yet. Meanwhile, details emerged about the Michigan church shooter—Trump called it a “targeted attack on Christians,” but the guy was actually a hardcore Trump fan with a Trump flag and merch. Oregon and Portland are suing to block Trump's National Guard deployment, YouTube is paying him $22M to settle his suspension lawsuit (funds earmarked for a White House ballroom, naturally), and EA might get scooped up by Jared Kushner, Saudi Arabia, and private equity for $50B. Missouri just locked in a gerrymandered map for Trump's benefit, Moldova's pro-EU party scored a decisive win despite Russian meddling, and Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime show—get ready for Fox & Friends meltdowns. Oh, and unless Congress pulls a rabbit out of a hat, the government shuts down tomorrow.

Most entrepreneurs waste years trying to write "the perfect book." Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby (sold for $22M), has a better approach. Instead of thinking book first, start with individual blog posts. One idea per post. After 50-80 posts, you've already written your book - just compile them. His "Hell Yeah or No" decision-making framework helped him build and sell one of the most successful independent music platforms. Now he's applying this same clarity to help others cut through decision paralysis. If an opportunity isn't a "hell yeah," it's automatically a no. This simple filter eliminates mediocrity and creates space for what truly matters. Listen to episode 529 of Get Yourself Optimized to discover how Derek's unconventional approaches to writing, decision-making, and life design can transform your business and personal growth.

BREAKING: Cam Heyward is undergoing a silent hold-in at training camp, per ESPN. There is a long list of defensive tackles that are making more than Cam, who is due $15M this season. Should the Steelers give him another extension and bump up the money to over $22M/year?

BREAKING: Cam Heyward is undergoing a silent hold-in at training camp, per ESPN. There is a long list of defensive tackles that are making more than Cam, who is due $15M this season. Should the Steelers give him another extension and bump up the money to over $22M/year? We think the local media assumed it was simply Heyward getting veteran time off. Should the Steelers give Cam Heyward a raise? PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Poni asked Jason how some of the people with boots on the ground missed the story about Cam Heyward. Does Heyward deserve the extension? Paul Skenes is pitching tonight – is there truth to the rumor that the Pirates are trying to extend him? Jason believes Skenes is optimistic about the Pirates' offseason plan for 2026. What will Ke'Bryan Hayes do in his return to PNC Park tonight?

The Pirates have traded Adam Frazier to kickstart the trade deadline moves. They are sending Frazier back to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Cam Devanney, who is 28 and has yet to make his MLB debut despite good power numbers in AAA this season. They got something for Frazier and that's probably better than what we could have expected. Has the outline for this team ever looked worse? We looked at some comparisons between this team and the 2010 Pirates, a squad that lost 105 games. Who are the other players that will be on the move? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Poni questioned Jeff for saying the Pirates should make Oneil Cruz the highest-paid player in their history. Jeff said it's all about Paul Skenes and the finite amount of time they have to win with him here. Jeff said he's willing to bet on the potential of Cruz and that's why he'd give him $22M/year. Jeff pleaded that at some point the Pirates need to take a chance. Would the Pirates go out in free agency and sign a player like Cruz while they still have Skenes? Judge Donny.

Bankruptcy is an unfortunate reality for thousands of Americans every year, but cities declaring bankruptcies are far more rare. Since the 1930s, municipality bankruptcies have only happened around 700 times in the U.S. And in Washington State it’s only happened once, until this week when the city of Cle Elum declared itself insolvent in bankruptcy court, saddled with significant debt. How significant? 26 million dollars, more than five times the town’s annual budget.

Today's guest is Melissa Duge Spiers, author of the soon to be released, Holy Disobedience: A Survivor's Journey from the Church that Betrayed Her—a book that does just that.Melissa's story is one of survival, revelation, and ultimately, moving forward into real life. Raised in the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church, an enormous Christian fundamentalist sect that exists under the radar despite a larger worldwide membership (22M+) than the Mormons or Southern Baptists, she was taught to obey without question, live under rigid purity culture, and conform to a system that demanded silence in the face of abuse. Her world shattered when a family member became the center of an abuse scandal—someone enabled and protected by the very church that shaped her childhood.Her memoir is not just about leaving a high-control religious environment; it's about the struggle that comes after—the long, painful process of deconstructing indoctrination, unlearning deeply ingrained beliefs, and reclaiming one's identity. In sharing her journey, Melissa has become an advocate for those who have left the SDA church, many of whom have faced similar abuses. Through her powerful online presence as “The Glory Whole” on TikTok and Instagram, she has built a community of ex-Adventists and religious trauma survivors, giving voice to the often-overlooked stories of those who have suffered in silence.If you enjoy listening to the show, please consider heading over to apple podcasts to rate and review us.
