On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Steve Magami, Co-Founder and CEO of Fruitist—the fast-growing fruit brand shaking up the grocery aisle and redefining what it means to snack healthy. What started as a bold idea to treat fruit like a branded CPG product has become a billion-dollar global company, with $400M in revenue over the last year and distribution in more than 12,500 stores across the U.S.Steve shares the gritty details of what it really took to scale Fruitist—from controlling the entire supply chain to solving for flavor consistency in fresh fruit. We talk about why most people underestimate the power of brand in commoditized categories, how he built trust in an industry that historically lacked it, and why Fruitist isn't just a fruit company—it's a systems company.If you're curious how to build a breakout brand in an overlooked space, or what it takes to scale a values-driven business with real operational complexity, this conversation is full of takeaways.

(This episode originally aired on October 1, 2024.) In times of uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what's out of your control. That's why over the next few weeks we're revisiting three powerful conversations that remind us where to focus: on operational excellence, on what is within your control, and on the urgency to act now. Whether you're navigating workforce challenges, financial pressures, or strategic pivots, these episodes offer practical insights to help you retrench, refocus, and lead with clarity. In the past, we've told our listeners that the number one area of focus for health system growth is operational excellence, and a major part of that is capturing all of the revenue on the table from your medical group. Healthcare organizations have spent the last decade buying up medical groups and physicians, in part because of the “promise” of downstream referrals. It is a long-held belief that physician employment leads to higher referral integrity. But according to an Advisory Board data analysis, that doesn't hold true - just 55% of total referral revenue attributed to employed PCPs is realized in-network. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board physician experts Eliza Dailey and Colleen Wagner to unpack where referral leakage actually happens and share the real (and relatively easy) steps organizations can take to reduce referral leakage. We're here to help: Tools to reduce referral leakage in the medical group Are employed PCPs more likely to refer within their health systems? Ep. 221: How will health system growth look different in 2025 and beyond?

John Clark is Senior Vice President of Technology and Strategic Innovation at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the legendary advanced development program behind the U-2, SR-71, F-117, and F-35. Over his 27-year career, including 25 inside Skunk Works, he has led some of the most important innovations in aerospace and defense. Chris Moran is Vice President and General Manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures, the corporate venture arm investing in breakthrough startups across AI, autonomy, advanced manufacturing, power, and propulsion to bring critical technologies into Lockheed's programs. In this episode of Defense Tech Underground, we sit down with John and Chris to explore how a century-old prime contractor sustains a culture of innovation while working alongside a new generation of defense tech startups. We cover: Skunk Works culture and the 14 rules – why they still matter today, and how Clark applied them in leading programs from the F-22 to modern autonomy efforts. Innovation with purpose – Lockheed's philosophy of tying new technology directly to warfighter needs, from AI-tuned radar to layered defense systems. Lockheed Ventures – Moran's view on “gaps and hedges,” the fund's 90+ portfolio companies, and how primes and startups can create one-plus-one-equals-three outcomes. AI and open architectures – where generative AI, advanced autonomy, and spectrum convergence are reshaping design, manufacturing, and operations. The prime paradox – responding to critics who call primes slow and risk-averse, and why, in Clark's words, “don't believe the hype—innovation happens every day inside Lockheed.” This conversation highlights how the largest defense contractor in the world is leaning into venture capital, software-hardware convergence, and cultural lessons from Skunk Works to keep pace with evolving threats while partnering with startups. This episode is hosted by Josh Pickering and Andrew Couillard. Full Bios: John Clark John Clark is Senior Vice President, Technology and Strategic Innovation at Lockheed Martin, where he leads enterprise technology strategy and investment, including companywide digital and AI initiatives. He moved into the role after serving as Vice President and General Manager of Skunk Works from 2022 to early 2025. Earlier, Clark was Vice President of Engineering and Technology for Aeronautics and previously Vice President for ISR and Unmanned Systems at Skunk Works, roles that spanned portfolio leadership, systems integration, and multi-domain operations. Chris Moran Chris Moran is Executive Director and General Manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures, the company's venture capital arm. He joined in 2016 after three decades in Silicon Valley, including senior executive roles at Applied Materials and eight years running Applied Ventures. He holds BS and MS degrees in mechanical engineering from MIT. Moran's team invests across priority areas aligned with Lockheed Martin's strategy. The fund size was doubled to $400M in 2022, and LM Ventures partners closely with internal engineering groups on adoption. He also engages with Stanford's Hacking for Defense program.

Constrafor is revolutionizing how construction companies manage their back office operations, from procurement to embedded finance. With over $400 million in funding and 75,000 companies on their platform representing 25% of US construction companies, Constrafor has processed nearly $2 billion in invoice funding. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Anwar Ghauche, CEO and Founder of Constrafor, to learn about the company's journey from addressing subcontractor payment challenges to building an invisible automation platform for construction's back office. Topics Discussed: Constrafor's origin story and the strategic decision to target general contractors first to access subcontractors The company's evolution from construction procurement platform to comprehensive back office automation Constrafor's approach to embedded finance and the Early Pay product for subcontractors The challenge of building in construction tech during COVID-19 and early customer acquisition strategies Distribution strategies that evolved from manual outreach to leveraging customer referrals The company's vision for invisible software that eliminates manual back office work for subcontractors Why construction remains a technology laggard and how margin compression affects software adoption GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Turn industry warnings into competitive advantages: When mentors warned Anwar that subcontractors were hard to reach and general contractors were poor software buyers, he reframed this as validation. "Instead of taking it as a negative and kind of changing the idea, I took it as kind of validation that this is great. Just because nobody else was really going to try to go after the space." B2B founders should consider whether widespread industry skepticism might actually signal an underserved opportunity with less competition. Build an indirect go-to-market strategy when direct sales won't scale: Rather than pursuing expensive direct sales to thousands of small subcontractors, Constrafor sold to large general contractors at low margins to access their 300-400 subcontractors at once. This created a distribution channel that would have been impossible to build through traditional sales methods. B2B founders should identify intermediaries or platforms that can provide access to their true target customers at scale. Recognize product-market fit through pattern recognition: Anwar knew they had achieved product-market fit when they reached customer number 10-12 requesting exactly the same thing. "We didn't have to kind of study this whole thing from scratch as if we were dealing with it for the first time." B2B founders should look for the moment when customer requests become predictable and solutions become repeatable rather than focusing solely on revenue metrics. Prioritize sales team development over marketing in B2B: Constrafor crossed $1 million in annual revenue before building a marketing team, instead focusing on sales team structure and product-led lead generation. "We've tried to build out the product to generate the leads as opposed to having to rely on marketing for warming up the leads." B2B founders should consider whether their resources are better invested in sales infrastructure and product virality before traditional marketing efforts. Leverage unique data assets for thought leadership: With 25% market penetration, Constrafor began providing industry insights on insurance pricing, material costs, and project pipelines. This data-driven approach to content creation established them as a trusted voice in construction. B2B founders should identify unique data they collect through their platform and use these insights to build authority rather than creating generic educational content.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits.

If the requirements dictated by this dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs. That said, if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish.TRANSLATION: We know your life is hard, but shut the fuck up about it because I don't care.WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS BOARD?Here are the “go hard or go home” board membersBill Kennard, lead "independent" director connected in 13 loops to other directors, been there for 11 years, who got his undergrad in communications from Stanford and worked at the FCC and was an ambassador - proving once again that “communications” isn't a qualification for communicating?Marissa Mayer - maybe this business thing isn't for you?

A tariff-fueled tech revolution is underway. With a $600B Apple investment, TSMC's chip plant in Arizona, and the Pentagon pouring $400M into rare earth mining, the U.S. is reclaiming its tech dominance and cutting China out of the supply chain. Trump's bold “build here or pay up” strategy has flipped the global semiconductor game—making Taiwan expendable, thwarting China's tech takeover, and setting the stage for an American manufacturing renaissance. This is next-level economic warfare—and we're winning.

“The biggest mindset coming off of Paris was that because I had made the biggest final there is, it was a message to me that no matter who's on the track, you deserve a lane. I belong here and I've proven myself. That message was definitely something that I carried into my senior year: just knowing that I belong here. That was very powerful for me.”My guest for today's episode is Savannah Sutherland, a 21 year old Canadian hurdler who just made history in more ways than one, hailing from Borden, Saskatchewan. Savannah was named a finalist for the Bowerman, which is the highest honor in NCAA track and field, awarded annually to the most outstanding collegiate athletes in the sport.She's the first Canadian female track athlete to ever reach the finalist status. I recently made an appearance on the CBC's Trackside show where I revealed that as a Bowerman voter, I already casted my vote. Savannah was ranked #1 for me.She put together a jaw-dropping season at Michigan. She didn't just win her second NCAA title in the 400m hurdles, but she obliterated the NCAA record too with a time of 52.46 seconds, becoming the second woman in NCAA history to go under 53 seconds. The record that she broke previously belonged to Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.Savannah broke her own Canadian record, climbed to the 9th fastest of all time, and last year she even took 7th place in the Olympic final in Paris. In this episode, we chat about how she got so good at this event, her hopes and expectations for this summer's World Championships in Tokyo, and so much more.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Savannah Sutherland | @sav.sutherland on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Topics:Founder Misconceptions About PEFriction Points in Integration Signs a Business Is M&A-Ready...and so much more.Top TakeawaysRoll-ups require a clear playbook or you'll struggle to scale. Justin shares that Agellus Capital targets fragmented, non-discretionary markets and looks for add-ons with high recurring revenue and complementary services. Without clear acquisition criteria, you risk stitching together unrelated businesses with no strategic fit. That leads to operational headaches, zero synergies, and a portfolio that's tough to grow or sell.Integration fails when PE firms underestimate founder attachment. Every founder thinks their playbook is the gold standard, which makes cultural and operational alignment tough. Justin warns that without early investment in rebranding, leadership clarity, and shared values, resentment builds fast and integration risks becoming a post-close drag on value.Want to sell in 12–24 months? Focus on building a business that runs without you. Justin explains that to attract private equity buyers, founders need to nail three critical areas before pursuing M&A: scalable systems, consistent and defensible EBITDA, and a strong leadership team that doesn't rely on the founder. Without these, you're not selling a business—you're selling your job.About Justin SmithJustin Smith is Managing Director and Head of Business Development at Agellus Capital. With 13+ years of experience in private equity, M&A advisory, and investment management, he leads the firm's deal sourcing and relationship-building efforts. In 2025, he was named a “Private Equity BD Professional to Watch” by ACG.About Agellus CapitalAgellus Capital is a lower-middle-market private equity firm focused on essential, non-discretionary services in fragmented industries.

Backed by a $400M debut fund, Agellus is actively scaling platforms across the U.S. through strategic acquisitions.

The market is shifting toward business and mobile-first devices. Microsoft offers cheaper Windows 10 security updates — Instead of a $30 fee, consumers can now enroll in Extended Security Updates with 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points or by using Windows Backup on OneDrive. The Blue Screen of Death turns black — Windows 11's infamous BSOD gets a minimalist black redesign in version 24H2, ditching the frowny face and QR code in favor of a cleaner UI. Windows 11 restore points now expire faster — With the June 2025 update, system restore points in Windows 11 24H2 expire after 60 days instead of 90, requiring users to monitor backups more closely. Microsoft makes AI use mandatory for staff — Company leaders are pushing employees to adopt internal AI tools like GitHub Copilot, with some teams considering AI usage as a formal review metric starting next fiscal year.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Carolyn Aronson, founder and CEO of It's a 10 Haircare. Before becoming one of the few female entrepreneurs in the beauty industry to own and operate her own brand, Carolyn spent decades behind the chair as a stylist and salon owner, learning firsthand what both professionals and everyday consumers needed from their products. She didn't just study the market; she lived it. Carolyn's early life taught her resilience and self-reliance, qualities that would become central to her entrepreneurial path.This, however, wasn't Carolyn's first venture in beauty. Her first line didn't succeed, but it gave her the hard-earned lessons she needed to get it right the second time around. She took everything she learned, the missteps, the financial risks, the hard-won insights, and applied it to what would become one of the most recognizable hair care brands in the country. In this episode, Carolyn shares how staying independent gave her the freedom to lead on her own terms. She talks openly about learning from failure, launching without outside funding, and the importance of creating products that work for all hair types.Today, It's a 10 is sold in more than 25,000 salons and retailers across the country, but getting there meant making bold choices and sticking to her guns. Carolyn shares how staying true to her vision, even when it meant going against industry norms, was the key to building a brand that stands out. If you're navigating your own path, questioning the rules, or wondering what it really takes to succeed on your terms, this episode offers a powerful reminder that sometimes the most successful route is the one you create for yourself.Thank you for listening!

The podcast discusses the evolving landscape of cybersecurity for small and mid-market businesses, emphasizing the dual threats posed by advanced artificial intelligence tools and a resurgence of ransomware attacks. As cybercriminals leverage AI for sophisticated phishing and impersonation tactics, traditional security measures are becoming obsolete. Organizations are urged to adopt enterprise-grade solutions, such as unified security platforms and zero-trust frameworks, to protect their operations. The introduction of secure browser technologies is highlighted as a critical step in enhancing defenses against the 95% of security incidents linked to browser vulnerabilities.A significant decline in the number of active Windows PCs, with 400 million devices disappearing in three years, indicates a shift in consumer behavior towards mobile devices and tablets. This trend reflects a broader change in endpoint strategy, as the traditional perimeter dissolves and the focus shifts from device management to user and data control across platforms. The implications of the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025 may further influence this trend, as users may opt not to invest in new devices.The podcast also covers Microsoft's new security measures aimed at preventing incidents similar to the CrowdStrike meltdown, which caused extensive damages. The company plans to move third-party security drivers out of the Windows kernel to enhance reliability and reduce risks. Additionally, Microsoft is offering extended security updates for Windows 10 users, allowing them to continue receiving support even after the end of support date. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving system stability and addressing vulnerabilities.Finally, the discussion touches on the broader implications of AI in various sectors, including its impact on the workforce and democratic processes. The podcast highlights concerns about AI's role in elections and education, as well as the ethical challenges arising from its use. The conversation emphasizes the need for businesses to manage the complexities of AI, including compliance and creativity loss, while pushing back against inflated vendor claims. This approach will help build trust and ensure that organizations can navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape effectively. Three things to know today 00:00 400 Million Missing PCs Mark the End of the Endpoint Era—MSPs Must Evolve or Fade06:04 From Kernel Changes to Cyber Insurance: Why Structural Resilience Now Defines MSP Value10:23 From Productivity to Manipulation: The Expanding and Uneven Impact of AI Across Sectors This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Kevin Bupp, a seasoned investor and founder of Sunrise Capital Investors. Known for his success with mobile home parks, Kevin dives into the niche world of parking garage investments—an overlooked asset class with strong cash flow, low maintenance, and high redevelopment potential. He shares his origin story from bartending to building a $400M+ real estate portfolio, discusses how his firm targets value-add parking assets in high-demand urban markets, and explains how they balance risk-adjusted returns across their fund structure by blending cash-flowing parking deals with value-add mobile home parks. Kevin also addresses how autonomous vehicles may impact the future of parking, and why land value and long-term optionality are central to his investment thesis.
