This week on The Data Minute, Peter sits down with David Zhou, Head of Investor Relations at Alchemist Accelerator and the host of Superclusters, for a deep dive into how LPs choose, and say no to, emerging managers.David shares what hundreds of GP conversations have taught him about building trust and avoiding the "sea of sameness.” They talk about why charisma can be learned, how LPs think about relationship-building versus returns, and why fund managers should spend less time pitching and more time listening. Plus: the strange origin of venture capital as we know it, the story behind a viral LP blog post, and how tracking birthdays, gifts, and “fun facts” can help you raise your next fund.It's fast, it's tactical, and it's exactly the kind of honest LP feedback GPs rarely get to hear.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:01:35 – LinkedIn bios, authenticity, and under-optimizing for SEO02:43 – Why David might remove “angel investor” from his profile04:50 – Saying “LP” out loud: the weirdness of deal flow labeling06:10 – Sourcing, picking, and winning: how LPs assess fund managers08:50 – What makes an “emerging” manager, really?10:13 – Should LPs invest in a firm—or just fund one?11:55 – The myth of quick markups, and why LPs think long13:23 – Pattern-matching vs. patience: how LPs develop taste14:55 – The Odysseus strategy: when to say no (even to great funds)17:47 – Why humility and honesty work better than fake urgency19:20 – Do some LPs still think venture capital is “art collecting”?21:10 – Helping LPs understand: is it worth being the educator?23:00 – First-time managers, first-time investors, and the long runway25:38 – Breaking into Middle Eastern LPs: no first meeting should be transactional27:45 – What hospitality looks like in cross-border fundraising29:20 – The power of thoughtful gifts—and CRM columns that matter31:14 – Should emerging managers stand out… or just be deeply human?32:32 – Whelming vs overwhelming: what LPs remember33:33 – Developing taste: why it matters for GPs too34:50 – The Dream High framework: who commands attention in a room?36:40 – Is charisma innate—or can it be learned?38:23 – Measuring growth in 15-year cycles40:00 – Common advice David gives insiders vs outsiders41:55 – Advice for “logo shoppers” and the risk of performative decks44:08 – Reality distortion fields and the allure of being “the only one”46:00 – Confidence vs clarity: do LPs actually buy better?48:18 – How many GPs does David see per year?

Ayo! This week, the Need to Know squad links up with the multi-hyphenate Bronx legend Rainey — podcaster, rapper, skit god, and all-around creative menace. He pulls up to talk Victory Light with Mero & Lisabell, his fire new project Cigarettes For Dead Men, and why he might've lowkey inspired Metro & Future (he said what he said). We get into everything from Kenan Thompson improv stories, AI beef with The Alchemist, to growing up without pops and adapting to Dominican culture (Savon really might be biracial). Oh — and yes, we put Rainey through Dominican trivia. He held it down. This one got jokes, gems, and a lil' bit of therapy. Tap in — we cookin'.

“Handsome Ransom” (October 25, 2009) Let's say this at the top: We are both fans in general of The Venture Bros, but this extremely homosocial show has a tendency to tiptoe up to being full-on gay and then laughing it all off as a joke. It's a product of its time, and even explicitly gay characters like The Alchemist and Shore Leave don't get their own episodes. So when it comes to picking one installment of the Adult Swim series that comes closest, we had to go with the one with Captain Sunshine, which sort of works but also makes the mistake of approaching pedo humor in the same manner it did gay humor. And that's kind of a fuck-up? Warning: Despite the presence of Brock Samson the art, Brock does not appear in this episode. We apologize. There are two Patreon-exclusive episode that tie into this one, if you're willing to pay the very low fee of $1 a month! There's an episode all about The Tick: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cartoons-that-us-129745700 And one about Jonny Quest: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cartoons-that-us-131953014 Both have a lot to do with how Venture Bros. ended up becoming the show it did!

For all the co creators, change makers, re-imaginers, global citizens on planet earth, and those who choose to be part of creating a brighter world and better ways of living & being we know deep down are possible... this is for you. We've been told "You are the ones you've been waiting for." There is no person here to 'save' us. Who we are and how we live is how we elevate reality - for ourselves, those we care for and guide, and this planet. This is Personal Leadership. And it's essential, and challenging. So ... the question is ... how the heck do we make our way through the chaos, stay focused, keep the faith and be wise about where we focus our energy and resources ... and also keep our hearts, spirits and creative life force alive and strong in the months and years to come where so much seems out of our control? Consider this: There is a path ... we just can't see it with our everyday eyes, we need our 'wise eyes' which can see in the dark of the unknown or see through the confusion of chaos ... can hear deeper guidance in stories, myths and patterns ... can discern what's aligned by contemplating on inquiries that lead to insight vs. grasping for answers to questions. Our internal imaginal cells are programmed to expand, evolve and focus us in the now and next. But we need intentional space outside of the banana world to 'do' this. Which is why today in episode #2 in the Next Phase On Purpose series - Ep 269: Playing Your Part on our Planet Now, we will dive into and explore: Context: For where we are in human evolution and our part in it Somatic Meditation: As one instrument in a bigger web, what is your part to play now and in this next phase?

Storyelling Mythic Time: the uncommon but oh so relevant myth of the Holy Grail Make it Personal & Practical with 3 Wisdom Inquiries: Go deeper and get to the root of what is your part and not your part in the next cycle Compass to Stay Focused On Your Part Forward: so you can stay orientated and focused in the coming months and years on your part for this next phase on the planet. I invite you to use this conversation, exploration and creation to turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now. with heart, Christine p.s.

Episode 173:For this guest episode it is a very welcome return for Eleanor Conlon, who you will remember discussed Titus Andronicus with me in Episode 22 of this season. Having picked over the brutal actions of that play with Eleanor I was pleased to hear that she was interested in a return visit and to discuss the very different piece that is Love's Labour's Lost. As you will her Eleanor has a great love of this play and brings all the enthusiasm about it to our conversation that you as might expect. If you have not already done so I would recommend listening to my previous episode on Love's Labour's Lost before starting on this one, which adds a lot to what I said in that episode.Eleanor Conlon is an actor, director, and award-winning writer based in Sussex.After completing her BA in English Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London, Eleanor earned her MA in Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at Kings College and Shakespeare's Globe. While at The Globe, Eleanor worked dramaturgically on productions by Dominic Dromgoole, Matthew Dunster, and Jeremy Herrin, and with Jenny Tiramani on the Original Practices Costume Archive.As an academic, her research focused on Renaissance Magic, Gender and Culture in Early Modern London, though for more than a decade her career has been less theoretical and more practical. After achieving success with her theatre company ‘The Barefoot Players' in the late 2000s and early 2010s, with which she produced plays including ‘Tis Pity She's a Whore', ‘Doctor Faustus' and ‘The Alchemist', the latter two of which she also directed, as well as productions of several of Shakespeare's works, plays by Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, and others. She founded her current theatre company ‘Rust & Stardust' where working with her puppet-maker partner Katie Sommers Eleanor has written over a dozen plays rooted in English folklore and toured these shows all over the UK.In addition to all this, and as you are about to hear, in 2023 she launched the Three Ravens Podcast with her partner Martin Vaux – also a writer and actor – which explores history, legends, and diverse aspects of folk culture.Link to Three Ravens Podcast website: www.threeravenspodcast.comFor the Three Ravens Folktales Book:Link to Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Ravens-Folk-Tales-half-forgotten/dp/1803999683Link To Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Three-Ravens-Folk-Tales-half-forgotten-ebook/dp/B0CW1GB63M/ref=sr_1_1Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Communication Queen | entrepreneurship, marketing, storytelling, public speaking, and podcasting
What do you do when your mind betrays you, your body shuts down, and your entire identity shatters into a million questions? In this raw and radiant episode of Communication Queen, I sit down with spiritual coach and former electrical engineer Michall J Medina, who traded algorithms for alchemy after anxiety hijacked her life. From religious conformity in Texas to energetic liberation in Israel, Michall takes us on a jaw-dropping journey through social anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma therapy, failed prescriptions—and the powerful pivot that cracked open her healing. But this isn't just about the pain. It's about the perspective shift that changed everything. Michall breaks down her signature methodology for emotional alchemy—rooted in somatic healing, self-inquiry, and energetic transformation. We dive into the exact moment she stopped seeing herself as broken and started treating her anxiety as a wounded part that needed love, not fixing. You'll learn how to shift your story, stop looping in healing cycles, and embody the future version of you who's already free. Plus, I coach Michall live on how to craft her story for maximum impact, positioning, and podcast guest power. Warning: This episode might just catalyze your next spiritual evolution.

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa: Love To See It!!! This is our first time ever covering “Love Island USA,” and the show welcomed us in with the most unhinged choreographed lip sync we could have dreamed of. In the first two episodes of season 7, Ariana Madix introduces us to the 10 original islanders (and two sexy bombshells), and they begin to form connections. They swap spit, bond over “The Alchemist,” become prematurely possessive, and hide important information from each other – all the important components of building long-lasting relationships.

In today's episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into profound life lessons from Paulo Coelho's renowned novel, "The Alchemist." With a metaphor that pits camels against horses, Baylor explores the dangers of pushing oneself to the brink of exhaustion and the importance of recognizing our human limitations. This episode is a wake-up call to reassess the pressures we self-impose and the societal narratives that glamorize relentless endurance. Baylor tackles the often misunderstood concept of strength, urging listeners to move beyond the stoic resilience of a camel and adopt the steady, self-aware approach of a horse. Through his experience in leadership coaching and mental health advocacy, Baylor shares how acknowledging fatigue and seeking help are crucial to personal growth and long-term success. His rich insights are supported by his analogies and real-life examples, like the detrimental effects of rental car treatment on individuals. Key Takeaways: Recognize the detriment of glorifying unyielding endurance; like a camel, this can lead to sudden burnout. True strength lies in understanding your limits and asking for help before reaching exhaustion. Effective leaders identify when their team members are struggling and take proactive steps to offer support. Assess if you are being treated as a replaceable commodity or a valuable asset deserving of care and support. Acknowledge that acknowledging fatigue is not a sign of weakness but a step towards sustainable productivity. Notable Quotes: "Camels are traitorous; they walk thousands of paces and never seem to tire, then suddenly they kneel and die." "We've been taught that it's weak to show that we're tired, that we're struggling, but true strength is asking for help." "If you start to lose your grip, don't you think I want to know that in advance so we can set it down?" "Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should." "Your thresholds in life are there to help you grow."

I also dive into what works, what doesn't—yes, I'm looking at you, fetch quests and frame rate dips—and why Yumia still manages to stand out in a long-running series.Whether you're a longtime Atelier fan or a curious newcomer, this review will give you the lowdown on whether this cozy RPG adventure deserves a place in your backlog.

This week's episode highlights an insightful conversation I have with Lata Hamilton, a change leadership and confidence mentor based in Sydney, Australia. We talk about how she carved her own path for change—both professionally and personally—and the turning point that led her to leave a traditional career path to step into independent consulting.We also discuss her book, Pioneer Your Career Change, and the one thing she wished she'd known at the start of her author journey. (You know we have to talk books!)After tripling her salary in just three years to almost $200,000, Lata's mission is to help women carve their own paths for change in career, leadership, and life, and find the confidence and authenticity to truly earn what they're worth. She is the creator of the Leading Successful Change program and the founder and CEO of Passion Pioneers. Lata has worked with some of Australia's biggest companies to initiate changes that have impacted over 100,000 people: operating model changes impacting thousands, global cultural transformations, and digital transformation that is changing the way that we work.Show notes:The Instance Change Consultant RetreatFree Coaching Action GuideLearn more about Lata:WebsitePodcast: InsightTimerLinkedInInstagram @latahamiltonYouTube @LataHamiltonBook recommendation:The Alchemist, by Paulo CoelhoFollow me on:Instagram @stacyennisFacebook @stacyenniscreativeLinkedInYouTube @stacyennisauthorTo submit a question, email hello@stacyennis.com or visit http://stacyennis.com/contact and fill out the form on the page.
