Podcasts about Airtable

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss Phase 5, Part 5 of Diana's ongoing research project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana evaluates three specific candidates who drew land in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1832 Gold Lottery: James Dillard of Pulaski County, Joseph B. Dillard of Oglethorpe County, and Tolliver Dillard of Burke County. Nicole outlines the project scope and historical context, highlighting significant record destruction caused by courthouse fires in Cass and Burke counties. Diana explains how she organizes her research report using her Airtable log entries. She eliminates James Dillard because 1830 census records show he was single at the time, and she rules out Joseph B. Dillard because he was only thirteen years old when Cynthia was born. Tolliver Dillard becomes the primary candidate based on census placeholder analysis, tax digests, headright grants, and land lottery draws that align with Cynthia's timeline. The hosts also examine genetic evidence to support the documentary findings. Diana re-annotates an autosomal DNA network graph, demonstrating that matches across multiple branches of Cynthia's descendants share DNA with descendants of Elijah Dillard, pointing to a sibling relationship. She also explains her Y-DNA testing initiative, which recruits male Dillard descendants to trace Elijah's patriline and compare results against the Dillard Surname Project. Listeners learn how to correlate indirect evidence in burned counties, structure a comprehensive research report, use AI tools to assist in drafting report summaries, and integrate autosomal and Y-DNA evidence to solve complex genealogical brick walls.

What happens when you get tired of forcing your business into software that doesn't quite work the way you want it to? Apparently, if you're me, you accidentally spend your birthday sabbatical building your own app. In this episode, Kara Duncan is taking over the mic and interviewing me about how a few experiments with AI tools turned into the Systems Professor app—and eventually opened my eyes to an entirely new direction for my business.I'm sharing how I went from custom GPTs, Airtable, Notion, and existing CRM tools to building software around the way I actually want my clients to experience Systems in Session. We're talking about Claude Code, vibe coding, personalization, accountability, AI, client experience, and why having the ability to automate something doesn't necessarily mean I should.And yes, we also talk about the fact that I got so absorbed in building the app that my husband handed me coffee on his birthday and I still forgot to tell him happy birthday.

Tune in as the team discusses:How Chris Clark discovered that his sales bottleneck was a website conversion problem—not a lack of leads.Why high bounce rates, slow loading speeds, and poor mobile optimization can cost land investors sales.How a Zillow-style property map can make it easier for buyers to browse land inventory.Why a website should guide buyers through a clear customer journey instead of simply displaying property information.How capturing buyer emails creates opportunities for repeat marketing when the right property becomes available.Why new investors should focus on getting deals before spending too much time building a website.How integrations with tools like Airtable can reduce duplicate work and human error.Which website metrics matter, including bounce rate, time on site, page navigation, checkout activity, and conversions.How conversion rate optimization can improve actions such as buyer-list signups and completed purchases.Why using AI or building a website yourself can still create a major time-management distraction for land investors.TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Don't assume more traffic will fix weak sales. Look at the customer journey and optimize the places where potential buyers are dropping off.Jon Burnett: Early in your business, focus on buying properties, listing them, and getting your reps in. Build out a stronger website once you have repeatable deal flow and inventory to support it.Mike Zaino: Don't spend valuable deal-making time becoming a website developer. Once your business needs a professional site, use systems that let you stay focused on buying and selling land.Chris Clark: Watch your bounce rate, site speed, mobile experience, and buyer journey. Your website should build trust and help move visitors naturally from browsing properties to taking action.WANT MORE?Enjoyed this episode?

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss part 4 of Diana's 5th project to search for the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, focusing on research logging and source citations. Diana explains how she uses the Airtable template, "RLP with DNA 4.2 (2026)," to organize her project and enter data for key DNA matches. Nicole details the real-time logging process, noting how they enter data in either row or form views. To organize her research on three candidates—James, Joseph, and Tolliver Dillard—Diana groups her log entries by person and sorts them chronologically to create distinct timelines. The hosts also explain how to quickly write citations using a layered model that divides a citation into digital and physical components. Using a FamilySearch image of a Cherokee County, Georgia deed as an example, they demonstrate how to construct the digital layer with the database name, URL, Image Group Number, and image number. They then build the physical layer by adding the original record creator, book and page numbers, and specific deed details. Listeners learn how to apply this systematic citation formula to deeds, probate, court, and tax records, making their genealogy research highly organized and easy to replicate.

What actually happens when a federal contract gets cancelled midstream, and how a government contracting consultant turned a $300,000 NEH contract cancellation into a paid settlement, is the center of this episode. A consultant walks through the real operational side of running a GovCon consulting practice: the CRM systems that keep client opportunities from falling through the cracks, how a LinkedIn presence turns into signed clients, and what happens when an agency contract gets cancelled for convenience mid-project. If you're building or running a consulting practice in federal contracting, this is what the actual week looks like. Key points discussed: Why a CRM or shared tracking system (Airtable, Asana, Notion, or even a shared spreadsheet) is the difference between a found opportunity and a missed deadline How a weekly client report cadence (sent Monday or Friday depending on client activity) keeps clients engaged without constant check-ins Why LinkedIn's algorithm now favors long-form posts and articles over simple updates, and how consistent posting built a "thought leader" reputation that led directly to a signed client A real case: a $300,000 NEH contract cancelled for convenience after the agency came under budget pressure, and how the resulting settlement negotiation recovered the full outstanding balance Why a contract cancelled for convenience still counts as valid past performance and stays on your capability statement at full award value Where to actually find agency procurement forecasts, including the NASA forecast tool and the Army Corps of Engineers construction forecast, and why asking a contracting office directly for their forecast link is a strong first-contact question CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why every consultant needs a CRM system 1:10 - Airtable, Asana, and Notion compared for client tracking 2:05 - Setting a weekly client reporting cadence 3:15 - Getting organized before you try to scale 4:20 - Why LinkedIn is a business tool, not an ad 5:15 - How long-form LinkedIn posts built a thought-leader reputation 6:45 - A $300K NEH contract cancelled for convenience 7:45 - Negotiating the settlement and recovering the balance 8:35 - Where to find agency procurement forecasts Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

A booking tool is not a CRM. A project management tool is not a CRM. And the $20 to $40 a month you're trying to save by getting rid of yours might end up costing you bookings.Every single week I see someone on Threads asking if they can replace their CRM with Notion, Airtable, Google Workspace, or Squarespace. I use Notion and Airtable daily in my own business — and neither one of them would have replaced the CRM inside my photography business. So let's talk about what your CRM is actually doing for you before you cancel it.In this episode:The four things a tool has to do before it counts as a real CRMWhy conditional logic is the line between a CRM and a very organized file cabinetWhat actually happens (and doesn't) when a lead fills out your Squarespace formWhy "I have Dubsado and I'm not using it" is a setup problem, not a CRM problemWhere Notion, Airtable, ClickUp, and Asana genuinely earn their place in your stackLinks mentioned:The Best CRM for Photographers → https://coliejames.com/best-crm-for-photographers/Building a Custom Notion Dashboard with Ania Ha → https://coliejames.com/building-a-custom-notion-dashboard-how-i-streamlined-my-entire-business-with-ania-ha/Systems in Session → https://coliejames.com/systemsSitting on a CRM you set up but never fully figured out?

Waziri Garuba, creator of G.R.I.O.T and CEO of HarlemLabs, talks about how he was inspired by the limitations of Siri and where the name for his custom AI persona, G.R.I.O.T, comes from. He  integrates several platforms including n8n.io, 11 Labs, Vercel, and it can be integrated with an LLM of choice, including Claude. The system operates using an agentic workflow where a central brain assesses inputs via webhooks. Incoming queries are classified into four categories: direct, tools, complex, or schedule-based to determine the appropriate routing. He explains how his agent can talk to the platforms. The First Automation Waziri describes how he built his first automation which was an auto email response maker designed to monitor Gmail every minute. The agent reviews unread messages and drafts responses in his specific writing style while logging actions in a spreadsheet. His current evolved system uses a contact map to identify known contacts and manages inbox organization through classification and labeling. Tracking Health and Fitness Waziri talks about how he uses G.R.I.O.T in his personal life. He calls it G.R.I.O.T in the Garage. Waziri utilizes a Notion database to track health reports and personal fitness goals. The G.R.I.O.T agent can access this data to design customized workouts and automatically add them to his calendar. He demonstrates how the agent can interact with his calendar to move appointments or set reminders based on terminal tasks. The Technical Landscape Waziri explains how G.R.I.O.T can integrate with many tools and finds the best tool for the job. The technical landscape consists of specialized sub-agents for platforms like Airtable, Google Drive, Monday, and Notion. These agents act as "appendages" that handle specific tasks such as searching files or managing relational databases. Waziri utilizes Tavily, an AI-driven search tool used by developers. It operates like Perplexity to help the agents find real-time information. Mobile Accessibility Waziri  interacts with G.R.I.O.T through Telegram, allowing him to send voice memos while on the go at the gym or traveling. This mobile interface enables him to delegate research, schedule follow-ups, or draft emails using simple spoken commands. He prefers Telegram over other messaging apps because it offers easier integration with n8n for building custom workflows. He explains how it helps him manage his emails, both incoming and backlog, and newsletters. The Finance Tools A dedicated suite of finance tools helps Waziri manage debt, income tracking, and expense reporting through QuickBooks and Google Sheets. The system implements a behavioral mechanism to automate saving ten percent of incoming funds into a separate account. One specific agent provides regular reports on interest rates for student loans and credit cards to help prioritize debt repayment strategies. Professional Services Waziri serves CEOs and high-level executives by helping them map out their operational needs before implementing AI tech stacks. He offers an eight-week course called the Operators Map at theoperatorsmap.com to teach governance and automation design. His business engagements focus on helping operators transition from manual processes to efficient, automated systems through HarlemLabs.com.

"No data, no agent. Bad data, bad agent. Good data, good agent." Cris Mendes thinks data readiness is the number one reason the agentic enterprise fails, and he has the receipts — he ran the experiment on his own team before he sold it to anyone else.He's VP of Revenue at Momentum.io, acquired by Salesforce in large part because of the go-to-market motion he built there. Before that: Drift, Airtable, and LogMeIn. Before all of it, U.S. Navy search and rescue swimmer. I've known him almost twenty years and introduced him to LogMeIn myself, so take the enthusiasm here with whatever salt you need.His argument is that everyone is buying agents on top of a data layer that was never built. The average customer conversation moves about eight thousand words; maybe eight of them make it into the CRM. Companies don't have a first-party data layer, they have a human-input data layer — and that's what every agentic project quietly runs aground on.The story worth the listen: Momentum had a brutal drop-off after the first call. Rather than sampling a few calls and guessing at messaging or ICP, Cris pushed 800 first calls through deep research and got one answer back — the reps weren't prescribing a next step. So he had Momentum listen to the last ten minutes of every call and fire a clip into Slack whenever an AE either didn't prescribe or tried and missed. With humor, so it didn't read as surveillance. Prescription went through the roof. As he puts it: a team respects what you inspect, but you can't inspect everything — unless the inspecting is automated.WHAT WE COVER- Selling shovels in a gold rush, and why structured data was the bet- Why "not everything called an agent is an agent" — deciding vs. automating- The last ten minutes of a sales call as sacred ground, and how to enforce that at scale- Bringing AI into QBRs: "it got so real so fast" — no more recency bias and self-preservation dressed up as a forecast- 10x growth six quarters running, zero attrition, 95% of the team over quota — and why he credits hiring over product- Whether AI cuts headcount: expands capacity, thins middle management, and the ~10% of companies that are actually AI-forward are hiring hardest- Auto-advancing pipeline stages on deal milestones instead of trusting a rep's guess — "otherwise you're just buying something like Clari to miss your forecast very expensively"- His IDEC hiring model, and why he'd trade relevant experience for intrinsics every timeCONNECT WITH CRISLinkedIn: Cris Mendes — Cris with no H, Mendes with an SMomentum.io---The GOATS of Growth has two Founding Sponsor slots open — category exclusive, $1,250/mo, in front of GTM leaders and founders who don't answer their phones.

This episode explores the ongoing genealogical project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, an ancestor who remains a mystery after years of research. Diana and Nicole focus on the fifth phase of this investigation, which involves utilizing DNA and documentary evidence to connect Cynthia to potential candidates among the Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery. Diana explains how she organizes this project using Airtable to track timelines and research logs while eliminating data duplication. She also shares her strategies for managing and selecting records, such as census data from 1840 to 1880, to establish a baseline for Cynthia's birth between 1815 and 1818.  Listeners learn about the practical application of locality research in genealogy as Diana investigates the counties associated with the Dillard candidates. She contrasts the availability of records in Pulaski and Oglethorpe counties, which have extant records and no major courthouse disasters, with the challenges of Burke County, where fires destroyed many documents. Diana describes how she uses the FamilySearch Wiki and 1832 maps to contextualize the migration of these men relative to Cass County. By walking through her research process, the hosts demonstrate how to combine timeline creation, map analysis, and targeted locality research to build a strategy for complex DNA projects.

Kamille Parks demonstrates how to use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to manage Airtable automations via Claude. She walks through updating an existing automation by adding placeholder email addresses to a notification step, showing how the AI can modify specific parameters while preserving existing context. The demo also covers management tasks like deleting an automation and using the "undo" feature to revert actions. By leveraging action IDs tracked through the MCP, the AI can effectively restore what was previously deleted. Finally, the segment explores creating new scheduled automations from scratch and exporting all base automations as JSON for auditing and configuration reviews. ⏱ In this cut: 01:58 — Updating an existing automation 06:52 — Deleting and undoing actions 08:36 — Creating new scheduled automations 16:11 — Exporting automations as JSON

A very special edition of More or Less, featuring Josh Wolfe (Founder, Lux Capital), Rachel Holt (Founder, Construct Capital; former Head of North America at Uber), Scott Belsky (Partner, A24; Founder, Behance), Scott Stanford (Founder, Acme Capital), and Peter Deng (GP, Felicis; formerly Google, Facebook, Instagram, Uber, Airtable, and OpenAI). Sam takes over hosting duties and assembles an overqualified group of investor friends to argue about where AI goes from here, from agents, Grok, Claude, and the shift from “help me do this” to “just do it,” to trust, data ownership, Apple's AI advantage, open vs. closed models, model routing, and why proprietary data may become the real moat. They also dig into NVIDIA's massive compute financing strategy, the risks of securitizing GPUs like long-lived infrastructure, what the OpenAI executive exodus says about the AI talent market, and the bigger question hanging over all of it: if AI really changes work, who actually participates in the upside?Chapters0:00 Episode trailer1:24 Episode start1:59 Meet the panel, every flavor of venture capital5:14 Consumer AI agents cross the Rubicon7:24 The end of websites, when agents talk to agents8:32 Which AI companies do you actually trust?11:41 Why Apple could win AI by doing nothing16:40 If models commoditize, unique data becomes the moat22:15 Open vs. closed AI, and who owns your data27:06 NVIDIA's balance sheet shenanigans31:26 NVIDIA gets the upside, who gets the risk?34:31 Nobody has ever securitized compute35:02 Who owns the wealth AI creates?39:38 What happens when economic opportunity runs out?42:23 Why OpenAI's best people keep leaving47:23 Why AI may look more like GPS than Facebook49:14 What actually happened with Airtable50:30 Lightning Round: Rachel Holt on physical-world investing53:00 Scott Belsky on AI watermarks, provenance & deepfakes54:15 Josh Wolfe on socialism, Europe & defense57:15 Final thoughts & sign-offWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

Alli Alosa demonstrates how to use the 'Insert as JSON' feature in Airtable automations to reliably handle incoming data from external webhooks, such as Fillout. She explains why this method is more robust than traditional field mapping, especially when dealing with inconsistent data. The discussion covers a practical use case involving event feedback collection. By passing the entire payload as a JSON object, you can prevent automations from failing when certain form fields are left empty or missing from the payload. Finally, the team explores how to use this JSON data within a script action. Instead of manually mapping every individual field as an input, you can pass the entire object into a script, allowing for much more scalable and maintainable automation logic. ⏱ In this cut: 01:03 — Using feedback collection as a use case 12:38 — The benefits of using Insert as JSON 13:37 — Solving errors caused by empty field values 17:00 — Passing JSON data into a script action 25:09 — Conditional filters and advanced integrations

This week Michael, Liam, and Brian make the case that stalled legislation on top of the Coldcard fallout, BIP-110 infighting, and Saylor selling, with the price still holding, is what a bottom looks like rather than a top. They run through a brutal week for Bitcoin infrastructure: BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclosing vulnerabilities or going dark, with Boltz warning that attackers now iterate faster than a team its size can patch. On the AI side they cover Kimi K3 escaping an isolated sandbox, Sam Altman's comments on Astra and who gets frontier access, an agent that cancelled a stranger's gym reservation to move its owner up the waitlist, and Cloudflare Wallets arriving as agent requests climb 1,700% and cross half of all network traffic. They close on the deals: Yellow Card's $40M round, Sapium's $35M Series A for the agent routing layer, Coinbase losing BVNK to Mastercard despite bidding $700M more, Airtable selling for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak, and what Block's Buzz did during the Coldcard incident.Chapters00:00 - Coldcard update: thefts slow, 2,000 BTC still gone01:00 - BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclose vulnerabilities02:51 - Why open source Bitcoin code became the target04:11 - Boltz: attackers now iterate faster than we can patch05:22 - Liam: Bitcoin itself is not the vulnerability06:40 - Good actors handicapped when US frontier models refuse10:04 - Sam Altman on Astra and keeping powerful models from the few11:12 - Only 2% of US households pay for AI13:34 - Kimi K3 escapes its isolated sandbox14:34 - Why non-deterministic models cannot be reliably contained19:35 - An agent cancels a stranger's gym reservation20:58 - Cloudflare Wallets and the programmable agentic internet23:45 - Agent traffic passes human traffic26:42 - ARK on Cloudflare's earnings: agent requests up 1,700%31:07 - Privy's CRM breach and the limits of mobile wallets32:13 - The CLARITY Act slips to September 1533:45 - Why stalled legislation plus a flat price looks like a bottom35:56 - Yellow Card raises $40M for African stablecoin rails37:40 - Sapium raises $35M for the AI agent routing layer40:14 - Coinbase bid $2.5B for BVNK and lost to Mastercard at $1.8B42:17 - Airtable sells for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak45:32 - The Architecture Problem and where custody goes next47:48 - Why every firm ends up at multi-institution custody49:22 - Buzz, Goose, and how Block moved in hours on Coldcard54:45 - GPU hours as crude oil: an open source AI analogy55:34 - Sergey Brin returns to Gemini, Meta ships Muse CodeIf you found this valuable, please subscribe to Early Riders Insights for access to the best content in the ecosystem weekly: https://www.earlyriders.com/researchKeep up with Michael:https://x.com/MTangumaKeep up with Liam:https://x.com/Lnelson_21Keep up with Brian:https://x.com/BackslashBTC

Sam records from the beach while dealing with a broken bilge pump. Dave calls in after herding cattle. Fortunately, tech continues without them, which Sam takes as further proof that AGI is already running the industry. The crew unpacks Google's leadership shakeup and Jeff Dean's departure after 27 years, debates whether Airtable's sale to Bending Spoons is the blueprint for surviving the AI transition, and Sam argues that today's AI labs look increasingly like yesterday's overvalued SaaS companies. Along the way they explain why Sam's AI built his kid an iPhone game, why OpenAI's luxury creator retreat backfired, why Apple may have accidentally created its own lawsuit, and whether AI can ever overcome the growing public backlash against it.

I recorded this one live on the last day of week two of my birthday sabbatical, and it published about ten minutes after I stopped talking. Because I spent the last seven days — on roughly four hours of sleep a night — building a custom client portal that replaced Airtable, Fillout, Notion, Google Docs, and Google Sheets in my business.What started as "let me move my AI assistants out of ChatGPT" turned into a full app where my clients log in, map their client journey, draft their emails, submit support tickets, send me voice notes, and do their weekly check-ins. I had a fully deployed version in 12 hours after telling myself since February that I needed time to plan it.I also knocked South Dakota off my list (47 states down, 3 to go), and I get into the irony of doing the exact thing I tell y'all not to do with your own systems.Demo and debrief coming to the blog soon.

This Week In Startups is made possible by: Vanta https://www.vanta.com/twist Agree https://agree.com Odoo https://Odoo.com/twist Today's show: *Airtable just sold for $2.25 billion, an 81% drop from its peak of $11.7 billion. On this week's TWiST VC Roundtable, Aditya Agarwal (South Park Commons), Niko Bonatsos (Verdict Capital), and Rick Heitzmann (FirstMark Capital) break down why the venture world sees this as a good outcome, not a financial disaster. By declining the deal, would Airtable's team have just been delaying the inevitable? Is the fact that they reached $400M+ ARR on its own a reason to celebrate? Find out why our investor panel prefers unwinding a stuck situation rather than chasing a growth rate that's no longer sustainable. PLUS Robinhood's booming prediction market business, the secondary market flap over Anduril shares, why so many VCs shy away from "vice" categories, and a glimpse at how insiders are talking about the Apple-OpenAI lawsuit.

Diana Elder and Nicole Dyer explore the value of writing an ancestor's military story by correlating multiple sources. Diana uses her father Bob Shults's World War II Navy records as a case study. She demonstrates how to use AI to cross-reference personal oral histories with official documents like muster rolls and discharge papers. Listeners learn how to build a comprehensive timeline that bridges the gap between limited personal recollections and formal military service records. The discussion highlights the use of the FamilySearch Simple Search tool to locate unindexed muster rolls that reveal specific locations and dates of service. Diana shows how she organizes this research in Airtable to track her father's path through training in Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Florida, and his eventual deployment on the USS Antietam in the Western Pacific. By integrating this specific documentation with historical context about training bases and ship operations, researchers can effectively flesh out an ancestor's service experience and uncover new avenues for future investigation. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Can you run a thriving, hyper-local accounting practice while living in Mexico for four months of the year? Most accounting firm owners and managing partners assume that running a local firm requires being chained to a brick-and-mortar office—especially during busy seasons. In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Nancy McClelland, CPA (widely known as The Dancing Accountant). Nancy shares how she built a highly profitable, 100% remote, hyper-local firm in Chicago that allows her to spend every tax season working from Mexico. If you are a bookkeeping firm owner, a CPA starting a firm, or an operations manager trying to fix a broken tax season, this episode provides a masterclass in firm boundaries, client selection, and bookkeeper-to-tax-pro collaboration. In this episode, we unpack: The Hyper-Local Strategy: How Nancy built a 25-year-old firm serving only small businesses within a few specific Chicago neighborhoods. The "No Bookkeeping, No Tax" Rule: Why Nancy refuses to prepare tax returns for clients unless her team handles their monthly bookkeeping and advisory. Fixing the Bookkeeper-to-Tax Pro Handoff: Eliminating duplication of effort, preventing missed reconciliations, and creating a standardized "tax-ready" handoff checklist. Voting Clients Off the Island: How Nancy's team uses quarterly "paid happy hours" to identify and offboard clients who disrespect team members or drag down morale. Shunning "Growth for Growth's Sake": Why turning down new clients and focusing on deep advisory for a capped client base creates a more profitable, stress-free practice. Key Metrics & Workflow Takeaways: 100% Remote Flexibility: How Nancy transitioned her entire team to remote work over a decade ago using simple tools like Zoom, AirTable, and QBO. The Tax-Ready Bookkeeping Standard: Shifting year-end cleanups into recurring, junior-staff-driven monthly processes.   Featured Guest: Nancy McClelland
