The Top Entrepreneurs in Money, Marketing, Business and Life
Bassem Handy, CEO of Briq.com, survived the VC apocalypse by firing 215 humans and replacing them with robots, growing from burning $1M/month to hitting $25M ARR with just 135 employees. After raising $50M including a peak-bubble Tiger Global round, he took a flat $150M valuation in 2024 and used his own robot technology to automate 80% of his sales team, achieving the lowest customer acquisition costs in company history. In this episode, he reveals exactly how he got 600 companies to pay him $2,000-$5,000/month for robots that process 2.6 million automation minutes monthly, and his plan to double revenue without hiring a single human.

Miss us?Feels like it's been a few weeks since we've had something new to share. This week, we're excited to share a video we recorded just before the release of First of Kind. Grant Lee fits the profile of a founder indie is built to support: worked in investment banking, and joined a hot YC startup that didn't end up being the rocket ship they'd planned. Joined another venture-backed startup that found a successful outcome, but has made intentional decisions to build differently now that he's working on something of his own. The wave we predicted in our Indie Era of Startups talk has started to crest, and founders, like Grant, are demonstrating the benefits to this new way of building. In this conversation, we break down Grant's approach to building Gamma into a few discreet buckets. The first is a small team of what he calls player-coaches. These team members are not interested in growing their org so much as focusing on results. And not just results, but results that they can manage from idea to execution. Bye-bye middle managers, hello player-coaches. Grant explains this approach best in his pinned tweet:Instead of creating specialist silos, we hire versatile generalists who can solve problems across domains. Rather than building management hierarchies, we find player-coaches who both lead and execute. Our team leverages AI tools throughout our workflow - Claude for data analysis, Cursor for coding efficiency, NotebookLM for customer research synthesis. These aren't just productivity hacks; they're force multipliers. Examples: — When our growth PM needed better analytics, he didn't file a ticket with a data team—he built a self-serve system that anyone can use without SQL knowledge. — When our marketing lead needed to understand our customers better, she fed thousands of interactions into an LLM and created actionable personas that now guide our entire strategy. — When our design team needs to test a hypothesis, we create a rapid prototype and show it to our power users. What we're seeing isn't just about "doing more with less." It's about fundamentally changing what's possible per person. The most valuable employees aren't specialists who excel in narrow domains - they're resourceful problem-solvers who continuously expand their capabilities. This approach creates remarkable resilience. Since everyone understands multiple functions, we don't have single points of failure when someone leaves or moves to another project. If you're building today, the question isn't how quickly you can scale headcount — it's how much impact you can create with the smallest possible team. The future belongs to tiny teams of extraordinary people.The next is to embrace constraints. At the time of this recording, Gamma was doing $50M in ARR and had over 50M users. Yes, you read that right. And, yes, they've done this while keeping their team small and wildly profitable for over a year. They do not see profitability as a lack of imagination or ambition, but the fuel for them to continue building on their own terms and timelines. This was a phenomenal conversation, and one that touches on many of the ideas we've been advocating for with indie over the years. We hope you see in Grant and Gamma something to aspire to as a founder that goes far deeper than hitting the next fundable milestone. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this one.

I've got so many friends right now in one of the most popular and lucrative spaces..... They're making sick money....... One friend does $2M a week in stem cell sales. Another just sold his company for $50M. Peptides. Testosterone and Estrogen replacement therapy. Why do I tell you this? In the coming few months, I'm going to make a move in this space. I've worked hard and built companies. And I want to be around for a very long time to enjoy what I have. If AI is going to replace us all and create a world of Universal Basic Income, we're going to need to be in the best health in our lives. I may as well invest in that sector so I don't have to only rely on UBI. I have another friend who sold his company at 55 and had a heart attack. One of my first mentors told me the biggest regret he had was quitting working out. He was never able to get back to it because he had let it go. Remember, Health is Wealth. You can still move and enjoy the mobility of the world if you start preparing today. Get to work.

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech'. Today, we unpack the profound impact of artificial intelligence on the legal world, a transformation marking an industrial, informational, and cultural revolution. We'll discuss the immense opportunities AI presents, from vastly improving efficiency in document drafting, research, and contract review to enabling faster identification of legal insights and strategic opportunities. However, we also confront the significant challenges, including the crucial need for human oversight to counteract AI "hallucinations" and avoid fabricating legal authority, ensuring client confidentiality, and addressing ethical implications like algorithmic bias and data privacy. As policymakers work to establish frameworks for AI innovation and accountability, legal professionals face a critical period of adaptation, demanding both technical competence and strategic understanding to harness AI's full potential responsibly.Applying Generative AI Tools to Patent Law Practice25 Jul 2025JD SupraLawyers defending Baltimore jail conditions receive public reprimand for AI-generated citations24 Jul 2025The Baltimore BannerLegalOn raises $50M to expand legal AI product development and global reach24 Jul 2025SiliconANGLEJudge sanctions lawyers defending Alabama's prison system for using fake ChatGPT cases in filings24 Jul 2025Winnipeg Free PressLitera unveils Lito AI agent to transform legal workflows24 Jul 2025IT Brief UKCourt Kicks Lawyers Off Case After Finding Fake AI Cases In Filings24 Jul 2025Above The LawLegalOn Closes $50 Million Series E Led by Goldman Sachs24 Jul 2025CityBiz.coLaw Firms and AI Recommendations: Do LLMs Favor Big Law?24 Jul 2025JD SupraThe 2025 AI Action Plan: Key Business and Legal Implications24 Jul 2025National Law ReviewRenne Public Law Group Cultivates the Next Generation of Public Interest Lawyers24 Jul 2025Renne Public Law GroupSpecial Issue: Vol. 38/6 International Journal for the Semiotics of Law--" Semiotic Assemblage, Translanguaging and Translating Laws of the Middle East and North African Regions"24 Jul 2025Law at the End of the DayBehind the Idea: Genie AI24 Jul 2025Fintech TimesSoftBank-backed LegalOn lands $50M to streamline legal workflows with AI24 Jul 2025TechCrunchA Shadow AI Crisis Is Brewing in the GC's Office24 Jul 2025Corporate Compliance InsightsLegalOn Closes $50M Series E, Partners with OpenAI to Develop Advanced AI Agents24 Jul 2025LawSitesU.S. Lawmakers Introduce New Copyright and Privacy Bill that Will Criminalize Training AI On Copyrighted Content24 Jul 2025TekediaAI in court: rights, responsibilities and regulation24 Jul 2025Legal CheekAI Action Plan: US leadership must be ‘unchallenged'24 Jul 2025Stephen's LighthouseBridging the AI gap: How professionals can turn awareness into action24 Jul 2025Thomson Reuters InstituteCooley Is Pleased to Announce Its Partnership in New Centre for Creative AI24 Jul 2025CooleyTrump Administration Unveils Its Plan for Winning the AI Race24 Jul 2025K&L GatesPresident Trump's AI Action Plan and White House Control of Renewables — AI: The Washington Report24 Jul 2025Mintz LevinThe Trump Administration's AI Action Plan: Deregulation and Global Dominance24 Jul 2025SteptoeIntegrating Artificial Intelligence in M&A Processes: A New Strategic Era - Part 1: Leveraging AI and its Advantages24 Jul 2025Norton Rose FulbrightEuropean Commission Issues Guidelines for Providers of General-Purpose AI Models24 Jul 2025WilmerHaleAmerica's AI Action Plan: Breaking Down the Trump Administration's Strategy...24 Jul 2025Nelson MullinsGDPR Relief for SMEs?

In this episode of Grow a Small Business host Troy Trewin interviews Kerry Boulton from Exit Strategy Group, who shares her incredible journey of buying a freight business doing $16M and growing it to $50M with the same 63 staff. Kerry reveals how she executed a strategic exit after seven years, then went on to build and sell multiple ventures. Now through The Exit Strategy Group, she mentors owners on being “always exit ready,” balancing business, financial, and personal goals. She discusses the power of systems, the Value Builder tool, and finding your “Alan Bond moment.” Kerry's story is a masterclass in scaling, cash flow, people, and creating true freedom.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

Comment obtenir un prêt pour racheter une entreprise ?Quel niveau de levier est acceptable ?Quels sont les critères que regarde une banque avant de financer un LBO ?Et surtout… à quel moment faut-il vraiment l'appeler ?Dans le dernier épisode de Une Cession Presque Parfaite, j'ai reçu Nicolas LOPES, Directeur du Centre d'Affaires Entreprises de la BRED, et Paulo NAVE, Directeur des Financements Structurés.On a parlé concrètement de la place des banques dans les opérations de transmission et de LBO, et ils n'ont éludé aucun sujet.Vous pensez qu'une banque ne regarde que le chiffre d'affaires et la valorisation ?Faux.✅ Elle regarde la solidité de l'acheteur/ du repreneur✅ La qualité du BP et le réalisme des hypothèses✅ La rentabilité historique et future de la cible✅ La récurrence des cash-flows✅ Le secteur d'activité de l'entreprise✅ Les besoins en capex et en BFR✅ Alignement des intérêts entre actionnaires et prêteurs✅ La capacité de remboursement sur plusieurs annéesEt surtout, elle vérifie si le montage financier est cohérent avec le projet industriel.Côté levier, ils sont clairs et ça dépend de la taille du deal➡️ Small cap ( 200 M€) : jusqu'à 4,5x et plus, présence d'unitranches, CLO/CDO, et fonds de detteMais tout dépend du secteur, de la stabilité de l'activité, et… de l'histoire qu'on raconte au banquier.Car oui, le storytelling compte.Les “management presentations” ne sont pas un détail : c'est souvent là que tout se joue.Et comme le dit Paulo : “la première impression est souvent la bonne”.On a aussi parlé :

Most entrepreneurs think raising VC money means they've "made it."But Tom Dillon learned something different during his years in investment banking and running a PE-backed company.After analyzing countless deals and experiencing the pressure firsthand, he discovered that VC money comes with a specific expectation: IPO-level returns."For a lot of VCs, they kinda look at things in terms of roulette table. They really need one of those to hit big."The problem? Most successful businesses exit through M&A, not IPOs.So if you're building a profitable company that could sell for $20-50M in a few years, VC funding might actually work against you.Tom now helps founders as a fractional CFO, matching funding strategies to realistic business goals rather than chasing the biggest check.In this episode, we explore:• Why thinking multiple rounds ahead is crucial for any capital raise • Alternative funding sources that align with M&A exits • The growing trend of buying your first business instead of starting one • How to set realistic valuation expectations • The mindset shifts that separate successful founders from those who strugglePerfect for entrepreneurs evaluating funding options and business owners planning exit strategies.• • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/tomdillon• • • FOR MORE ON TOM DILLONhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tomdilloncfa/ https://fracfinance.com/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Waverly Deutsch doesn't just coach entrepreneurs—she translates English to English, reframes stories with strategy, and helps even the most logic-trained professionals tap into their conviction. In this three-part series, we walk through her unusual path from consulting to Chicago Booth to founding WyseHeart, her pitch strategy firm.Each episode reveals a new dimension of her journey: the personal (Part 1), the academic and instructional (Part 2), and the entrepreneurial, including her bold take on how to co-exist with AI (Part 3). Across every chapter, Waverly models what it means to coach with both love and logic—bringing clear frameworks to messy human dreams.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Book Smarts to Business Savvy“Entrepreneurship is a process—whether you're 20 or 50.”At Booth, Waverly coached a wildly diverse mix: undergrads with unchecked imagination, MBAs with ideas but risk aversion, and execs who played it too safe. Her role? Adjusting the dials between wild dreams and grounded strategy—always pushing people to think just a little bigger (or a little sharper).Love for the Logical Skeptics“If you, the entrepreneur, don't believe you're building a $50M company, why should the investor?”Her job wasn't to sugarcoat—it was to stretch minds. She shares how she helped overly rational MBAs move from “safe” ideas to bold, fundable visions—and overly optimistic young founders get real about execution. Her coaching mantra? Meet them where they are—and nudge from there.The Muffin That Grew a Billion Dollars“This could be the Betty Crocker of the 21st century.”A standout case: Simple Mills founder Caitlin Smith. What began as a gluten-free side hustle turned into a billion-dollar brand—thanks in part to Waverly's nudge to imagine bigger. It's a masterclass in how one coach reframed a story and sparked a scale-worthy vision.Coaching in the Wild“I'm an English-to-English translator.”Post-Booth, Waverly now works with a broader crowd: from seasoned pros to small business owners without MBAs. Her key lesson? Listen deeply, strip away jargon, and tailor advice to meet people where they are—because real coaching starts with trust, not templates.Can AI Be Your Coach? Nope.“If marriage is ‘til death do us part, investment is ‘til exit do us part.”Waverly doesn't see AI as competition—yet. A pitch deck might be AI-generated, but building investor trust, interpreting nuance, and navigating founder doubt? That's strictly human territory. Coaching is about relationships, not just logic—and for that, love still wins._______________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Waverly Deutsch --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Mike Shannon. Picture this: On a Friday night, you're 22 years old, standing in front of 8 million viewers on Shark Tank, shaking hands with Mark Cuban after closing a deal for your startup. The next morning? You're back in the Chicago Bulls locker room, folding towels and doing laundry like nothing happened. This is the extraordinary double life that our guest Mike Shannon lived while building his first company. By day, he was pitching investors and building a start-up. By night, he was mopping floors during Bulls games and running errands for NBA superstars. It's a story that perfectly captures the wild contradictions of entrepreneurship—where dreams and reality collide in the most unexpected ways. Mike Shannon is the CEO and co-founder of Impruve, an AI-native operating system built for financial advisors. Before launching Impruve, he co-founded Packback, an AIpowered education platform used by millions of students and recognized by TIME as a Top EdTech Company and by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies. Over 12 years, he scaled the business from scrappy startup to $20M ARR and a $50M+ acquisition. Earlier in his career, Mike appeared on Shark Tank and secured a deal with Mark Cuban. His entrepreneurial journey began—uniquely—while living a double life as an NBA ball boy and evolved through years navigating the highs and lows of startup life. Those stories are captured in his upcoming book, Sweaty Equity: A Ball Boy, a Billionaire, and the Bonkers Startup Tale You've Never Heard. Mike holds a B.S. in Finance from Illinois State University and sits on the board of directors for Future Founders, a nonprofit supporting thousands of aspiring young entrepreneurs nationwide. He lives in Chicago with his wife and two young boys.

In this episode, we're joined by Ronni Zehavi, Co-Founder and CEO of HiBob—one of the fastest-growing HR tech platforms on the planet. With nearly 5,000 customers across the globe, HiBob is redefining HR through its modular, AI-powered platform “Bob,” built for modern, multinational, midsize businesses. We spoke with Ronni about what it really takes to build a high-growth SaaS business that's not just growing fast—but growing right. From IPO readiness and leadership transitions to why putting people first is still your strongest moat in the AI era, Ronni shares the inside story of HiBob's 10-year journey to becoming a category leader. Here are some of the key questions we address: What's the real reason HiBob is preparing for an IPO—and why now? What are the internal changes a company must make to be IPO-ready? (Think finance ops, governance, reporting, culture) How do you lead a company through different stages of scale without burning out—or stalling? Why are line managers the true AI-era heroes inside organizations? What's the biggest mistake CEOs make on the path from $50M to $250M ARR? What does “people-first” actually mean in practice—and how does it translate to business growth? How is HiBob using AI internally, and how are they helping customers do the same? What should you know about secondary events, long-term vision, and building a sustainable culture?

n this episode of Psychedelics Today, kicking of Psychedelic Science 2025 week in Denver, we sit down with Jonathan Dicksinson, Chief Executive Officer, and Trevor Millar, Chief Operations Officer of Ambio Life Sciences – one of the world's leading ibogaine clinics – to explore the potential of ibogaine for addiction, neuroregeneration, and how ethics, honoring experience, and sustainability will be key to delivering ibogaine at scale. Trevor shares his early work supporting marginalized populations in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, which led to the founding of Liberty Root, one of Canada's first ibogaine clinics. Jonathan reflects on his apprenticeship in Mexican clinics, years of international advocacy with the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance, and drafting the first set of clinical guidelines for ibogaine detoxification. Together with paramedic and ibogaine safety protocols expert Jose Inzunza, they co-founded Ambio in Tijuana in 2021. They discuss: The unique safety standards Ambio has pioneered – including industry-wide clinical protocols and magnesium therapy to mitigate cardiac risk. Their scale: over 3,000 patients treated, with 100+ clients per month across five dedicated houses in Baja California. Ambio's groundbreaking neuroregenerative program for Parkinson's, MS, and traumatic brain injury – which has already drawn patients like Brett Favre and Clay Walker. How ibogaine appears to drive profound physiological change – including evidence of TBI reversal as shown in Stanford's 2024 study on Special Forces veterans. Why ibogaine isn't just a molecule – it opens a long-lasting “critical period” of neuroplasticity that must be supported with preparation, integration, and holistic care. The deeper story of sourcing: through his company Terragnosis, Jonathan is the only person with a legal export license for Tabernanthe iboga from Gabon, and Ambio is setting a precedent for reciprocal and ethical global supply chains. Their cautionary perspective on Texas' $50M push toward ibogaine clinical trials – and why the traditional “one drug, one indication” model misses the complexity and promise of psychedelic healing. They also make a compelling case that Ambio is already modeling what the future of psychedelic care should look like – not a single drug in a sterile clinical setting, but a comprehensive, integrated protocol combining preparation, medical oversight, and deep integration. “Start with the end in mind,” Trevor urges – Ambio isn't just part of the movement; it's the blueprint for how ibogaine could be delivered worldwide.

One of the world's leading experts on ibogaine, Jonathan brings over 15 years of experience in clinical care, traditional practice, and psychedelic research to his leadership at Ambio. A Mexico-licensed psychologist and former Executive Director of the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance, he authored the field's foundational safety guidelines and has published widely on ibogaine's therapeutic, cultural, and ecological significance. He holds the only active export license for Tabernanthe iboga root, led the first Nagoya-compliant export from Gabon, and was initiated into the Dissoumba/Fang tradition of Bwiti in 2014 and the Missoko tradition in 2022. He has co-authored peer-reviewed research on ibogaine's potential for trauma, TBI, pain, MS, and Parkinson's. At Ambio, he leads strategy, research, and innovation – advancing a globally scalable model of care that bridges tradition, science, and integrity. Trevor Millar is the Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Ambio Life Sciences. A social entrepreneur and pioneer in ibogaine advocacy and treatment, Trevor brings over a decade of experience supporting individuals through addiction recovery, trauma healing, and post-treatment integration. His background includes co-founding the Canadian Psychedelic Association and serving as Chair of the Board for MAPS Canada. He has co-authored peer-reviewed research on ibogaine's applications for trauma, TBI, and opioid use disorder, and has been featured in award-winning documentaries including DOSED and In Waves and War. Grounded in personal experience and guided by a philosophical approach to healing, Trevor is helping shape a new model for ethical, integrative psychedelic care on a global scale. At Ambio, Trevor leads operations, strategic partnerships, and client experience – bridging clinical care with systems design, education, and public advocacy.
