The 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and with teams all looking to load up their rosters for a postseason push, we saw quite a few surprises before the deadline hit 6 p.m. ET. Between the Los Angeles Dodgers, not shockingly, trading for Tarik Skubal and the Boston Red Sox, shockingly, trading for Adley Rutschman, it's time to look at all the activity from deadline day. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down all the deals that went down over the past few days, including the Philadelphia Phillies picking up Luis Arráez despite an already crowded infield, the New York Yankees trading for Luis Garcia Jr. to help their struggling offense and the Tampa Bay Rays adding Freddy Peralta to bolster their rotation. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan discuss all the moves that didn't happen, including which teams they're surprised didn't make many moves before the clock struck six, which teams may have overpaid in their deals, and which GM had the best trade deadline.   1:13 - Where we stand heading into the deadline 18:23 - Foster Griffin gets traded 24:52 - Final deals come in before the deadline 31:26 - Casey Mize to the Padres 40:12 - Notable names not traded 53:53 - Yankees and their deadline 1:00:25 - Arráez and Skubal on the move 1:13:36 - Rutschman gets traded 1:23:49 - Winners and losers of the deadline Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Motorcycle traveller Andy Scherer was riding alone through a remote part of Mexico when a series of troubling encounters led to armed roadblocks—and his abduction. In this episode of Deep Trouble, Andy and his daughter Leslie share what happened, the decisions he faced and what other motorcycle travellers can learn from the experience.

Sanjit Biswas runs what may be the largest AI deployment in the physical world — and almost nobody in AI talks about it. Samsara (NYSE: IOT), the ~$20B company he co-founded after selling Meraki to Cisco for $1.2B, puts AI on millions of trucks, cranes, and industrial assets: 25 trillion data points a year, 99% of US roads driven every single day, ~$2B in ARR growing 30% profitably. In this episode we go through the entire physical AI stack — asset tags you can run over with a truck, a paper-thin disposable tracking label, engine fault codes, and dash cams running inference at the edge — then into agents, including the Agent Studio warranty agent that compresses an hour of human work into under a minute. We also get into the uncomfortable part (when AI watches you drive all day, is that coaching or surveillance — and why drivers actually want the cameras), mixed fleets of humans and robots, why autonomous trucking will take far longer than robotaxis, and a startling stat from the field: one utility building 3x more grid capacity in the next five years than it did in the previous 125, with 90% of that demand coming from data centers.(00:00) Intro: The biggest AI deployment nobody talks about(01:16) What is physical AI?(03:04) From IoT dashboards to agentic action(04:36) Why physical AI is harder than software AI(06:07) Safety, cybersecurity, and real-world consequences(07:11) What Samsara does(08:22) $2B ARR, 25 trillion data points, and 380,000 crashes(09:44) How AI can prevent road accidents(11:28) From an MIT research project to Meraki(13:42) Learning physical operations from scratch(15:42) Samsara's stack: sensors, intelligence, and action(16:39) Inside Samsara's industrial asset trackers(18:36) Bluetooth, battery life, and connected infrastructure(19:49) A disposable tracking device built like a sticker(21:08) Vehicle gateways and engine diagnostics(22:16) How AI dash cams coach drivers in real time(23:28) Turning the dash cam into an AI interface(24:49) Organizing physical-world data in the cloud(26:32) Selling AI to traditional industries(27:52) Is Samsara's real-world data its AI moat?(29:22) The network effects of covering 99% of U.S. roads(31:23) Edge AI versus cloud AI(32:35) The models running inside Samsara's devices(33:52) Generative AI and video reasoning(35:57) Which AI models does Samsara use?(36:50) Inside Samsara Agent Studio(37:56) How an AI warranty agent works(38:50) Starting with practical, lower-risk automation(40:10) Combining agents, workflows, rules, and guardrails(42:07) What today's AI agents still cannot do(43:07) AI ride-alongs and the future of driver coaching(45:17) Is workplace AI becoming Big Brother?(46:27) How cameras can protect and exonerate drivers(48:48) When AI becomes the judge of your work(50:37) Robots, humanoids, and mixed human-machine fleets(53:19) Samsara's role in autonomous operations(54:50) How quickly will autonomous trucking arrive?(56:32) AI data centers and America's infrastructure boom(58:16) Should lawyers become plumbers?

What happens when a marketing leader goes all in on AI, not just for himself, but for his entire team? Ronan Bray, Head of Marketing & Growth at Cloud Assess, joins the podcast to unpack exactly that. From a two week Christmas break spent teaching himself to build apps, to rolling out a fully connected go to market platform that pulls live data from HubSpot, Google Search Console, and Notion, Ronan shares the real story of AI adoption inside a B2B marketing team, mess, momentum, and all. This episode is a practical playbook for any marketing leader wondering how to move a team from AI curiosity to AI capability. Ronan gets specific about what worked (starting small with personal projects), what didn't (announcing a team wide AI mandate with almost no context), and where he still won't let AI near the steering wheel, like paid ad spend and image or video creation. Guest Introduction Ronan Bray is Head of Marketing & Growth at Cloud Assess, where he leads a global marketing team driving pipeline with over 85 percent of ARR from inbound. Over 16 years he has scaled B2B marketing for ASX listed companies and his own startups (three reaching acquisition or buyout), building on experience at HubSpot and Drift. Key Topics Ronan's personal path into AI, from everyday ChatGPT use to picking Claude as the team's core tool to avoid spreading focus too thinHow a two week Christmas break and a personal "vibe coding" project (a lawn care scheduler built in Lovable) became the spark for wider team adoptionThe simple three question framework Ronan uses with his team: where's your time going, what's repetitive, and what's the ideal end stateBuilding a go to market hub in Lovable that connects HubSpot, Google Search Console and Firecrawl to surface content gaps and sales insights automaticallyWhy Ronan's team keeps a human in the loop on all content, even though AI can draft it, because audiences and algorithms can both tell when something is fully AI generatedThe security guardrails Cloud Assess put in place around domain locking and vulnerability scanning when building internally with LovableWhy Ronan won't hand over paid ad spend decisions to AI, even with tools connected to Google AdsWhat's next for Ronan's team: using AI for image and video generation to communicate fast moving product releases to sales and customers Resources & Links Companies & Tools Cloud Assess: Ronan's company, an AI powered training and assessment platform, referenced throughout as the environment for his AI rolloutLovable: the AI app builder Ronan and his team use to build internal tools, including their go to market hubClaude: the AI assistant Ronan's team standardised on for everyday tasks and custom team projectsHubSpot: the CRM feeding deal and pipeline data into the go to market hubFirecrawl: the web scraping tool connected to their platform to analyse blog and competitor contentChatGPT: the tool Ronan first used for personal AI adoption before switching to ClaudeNotion: used by Cloud Assess's product team to track features, later integrated into the go to market hubHiggsfield: an AI image and video tool Ronan tested via MCP, which he found fell short for a recent website rebuild Contact & Credits Host: Shahin Hoda Guest: Ronan Bray Produced by: Shahin Hoda and Alexander Hipwell Edited by: Alexander Hipwell & Dave Somido Music by: Breakmaster Cylinder Podcast Co-ordinator: Jonah Igsie APAC's B2B Growth Podcast is Presented by xGrowth

Combien de fois t'es-tu promis de changer, pour au final refaire exactement la même chose ?Arrêter de procrastiner, reprendre le contrôle de ton corps, fermer la porte à une relation toxique, imposer ton autorité... Et pourtant, te voilà de nouveau au même endroit. Comme si quelque chose, à l'intérieur de toi, prenait les décisions à ta place.La vérité, c'est que la plupart des gens ne choisissent pas leur vie : ils la répètent. Le cerveau préfère une souffrance familière à une liberté inconnue. On accuse souvent le manque de volonté ou de discipline, alors que le problème est ailleurs : nous vivons en pilote automatique, sous le contrôle de programmes inconscients créés à l'origine pour nous protéger.Dans cet épisode du Mindset Show, on fait basculer la perspective. Avant de chercher à corriger tes comportements (les feuilles), tu dois descendre inspecter la racine : tes mécanismes de protection et tes croyances.Au programme de cet épisode d'inspection chirurgicale :La grande illusion du choix : Pourquoi ton cerveau préfère la sécurité d'un schéma destructeur plutôt que l'inconnu de la réussite.Tu as des pensées, mais tu N'ES PAS tes pensées : La métaphore du bord de route pour arrêter de monter dans chaque voiture d'auto-sabotage.Le secret des mécanismes de protection : Comprendre ce que ta procrastination ou ton besoin de contrôle essaient réellement de protéger chez toi.L'exercice de l'inspecteur : 4 questions brutales à poser sur du papier pour identifier tes 3 comportements bloquants et libérer enfin ton véritable potentiel.Un arbre malade ne guérit pas parce que tu repeins ses feuilles, mais parce que tu traites ses racines. Avant de reconstruire, inspecte chaque fissure.⚡ PASSE À L'ACTION :PASSAGE EN MENTORAT PRIVÉ (ACCÉLÉRATION 1-ON-1) : Tu as identifié tes blocages, mais tu as besoin d'un cadre strict, d'un diagnostic d'homme à homme et d'un suivi sur-mesure pour restructurer tes piliers et exécuter sans trembler ?

$0 -> $100M ARR. How Gamma Scaled Quickly without a Sales Team 100 million in ARR. A team of 50. Zero sales reps. Grant Lee, Co-founder and CEO of Gamma, shares the exact playbook behind one of the most capital-efficient growth stories in SaaS - from pitching investors out of a London kitchenette to going viral with a single tweet that got Paul Graham throwing shade. In this session, Grant breaks down four lessons: 1. Product-market fit isn't a checkbox. After winning Product of the Day on Product Hunt and watching signups plateau, Gamma went back to the drawing board. They gave themselves three months to make the first 30 seconds of the product feel magical - and word of mouth did the rest (5K signups/day, then 10K, then 50K, zero marketing spend). 2. Creator marketing only works if you've done it yourself. Grant went through "Cringe Valley" to understand what creators actually need - then used that to manually onboard every creator partner and build something that felt authentic, not transactional. 3. Community-led growth is literal. At 50M users, Gamma flew power users to SF, visited customers in Seoul, London, and São Paulo, and created a Gambassador Slack where early feedback shapes the product roadmap. Your users are not a faceless entity. 4. Dogfooding the future builds conviction. How Gamma killed their virtual office idea after six months and went all-in on presentations - and why testing your own product is the fastest path to knowing what to build next. If you're building a product-led company and wondering whether to invest in marketing or go back to the product - watch this first.

n8n's founder puts the company's GitHub repo, nearly 200,000 stars, right next to the paid signup button, and he's genuinely fine if you never pay. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Jan Oberhauser, CEO of n8n, the open-source automation platform that's crossed $100 million in ARR at a $5.2 billion valuation. Jan breaks down the "fair-code" license bet that let him give the product away and still build a business, how that free version became the on-ramp into enterprises like Meta, Nvidia, Dell, Accenture, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and Mercedes, and why he believes the people with the problem should build the automation themselves, not a centralized team or an outside agency.He also walks through a live build of a personal AI agent (email and calendar), shows how n8n falls back from Claude to GPT via OpenRouter when a model isn't available, and explains how enterprises get automations into production faster because each agent can only do exactly what it's been permitted to do.What you'll learn:Why n8n rejected traditional open source for a "fair-code" license, and how it avoided the community backlash that burned other companiesWhy trust and consistency, not features, are the real center of a communityHow the free, self-hosted version drives bottom-up adoption inside major enterprisesWhy "sprinkling AI on top" kills products, and what to build insteadHow to chain agents so one agent's output becomes the next agent's inputWhy n8n is the "connective tissue" between models, tools, and business systemsHow guardrails (an agent can only do what it's explicitly allowed) speed up enterprise procurement and productionWhy the people with the problem should own the building, not a centralized AI teamHow 10,000+ community templates and 500+ integrations expand what non-technical builders can shipHow one company routes 75% of support through an n8n agent, with customers happier than with humansConnect with Guest (Jan Oberhauser):LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janoberhauserX: https://x.com/JanOberhauserHost: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Jan Oberholzer: Jan is the CEO of n8n, an open-source (fair-code) workflow automation and orchestration platform for building AI agents.

Accéder dès à présent au programme « Investir en ETF quand on est investisseur immobilier » : bien choisir, tout comprendre, passer en autopilote. www.grosbillets.com/etf Prochain événement à Strasbourg (Hoerdt) le 7 novembre :  Toutes les infos et inscriptions sur  www.grosbillets.com/67 “Vous cherchez un bien déjà loué avec des loyers qui tombent dès le premier jour ? Voici les trois appartements que je vends : www.grosbillets.com/appartement Non, ce n'était pas mieux avant. On entend souvent dire que l'immobilier était « donné » pour les générations précédentes, mais est-ce qu'on a vraiment envie de revenir aux taux d'intérêt à 16 % et à la gestion de baux sur papier carbone ? 

Pas des conseils. Pas de la théorie. Des décisions. Dans ce deuxième épisode du Best Of Été, tu vas entendre 8 gestionnaires de conciergerie raconter le moment précis où ils ont dit "ça suffit" ou "je fonce". Et où tout a basculé. Démissionner sans filet. Geler volontairement sa croissance pendant 18 mois pour structurer. Arrêter avec 10 propriétaires sur 22. Dire non à un prospect déjà bien avancé. Repartir de zéro après avoir travaillé 12h par jour. Tout changer en 6 mois : associé, logiciel, mandats, assurance, bureau. Vues de l'extérieur, ces décisions semblaient toutes risquées. Aucune n'était confortable. C'est pourtant exactement là que les choses ont commencé à changer pour eux. Ce qui sépare ceux qui subissent leur business de ceux qui le pilotent, ce ne sont pas les compétences. Ce sont les décisions qu'ils acceptent de prendre au mauvais moment. LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE Les questions que personne n'ose poser. La tarification qu'on n'assume pas, les conflits propriétaires qu'on gère mal, le burnout qu'on n'avoue pas, les moments où on a envie de tout arrêter. Si tu n'as pas écouté le premier épisode du Best Of, il portait sur les erreurs : celles qu'on refait tous, celles qui coûtent cher, celles qu'on n'ose pas avouer.________________________________________________

Hogyan alakult át a Velencei-tó ingatlanpiaca, és mi áll a nyaralók iránti érdeklődés visszaesése mögött? Arról is beszélgettünk, hogy a térség egyre inkább lakóövezetté válik-e, vagy maradt még esély a klasszikus üdülőpiac újjáéledésére. Vendégünk Balogh László, az Ingatlan.com vezető gazdasági szakértője volt. A műsor második részében azt jártuk körbe, mit várnak a befektetők a világ legnagyobb technológiai vállalatainak gyorsjelentéseitől, és hogy valóban fordulóponthoz érkezett-e a mesterséges intelligenciába öntött hatalmas beruházások megítélése.

Pourquoi est-il si difficile d'être soutenu par ses proches lorsque l'on décide de construire une vie hors des normes ?Lorsque tu pars à la conquête de tes ambitions, tu dis implicitement adieu à une ancienne version de toi. Le problème ? Ton entourage, tes amis et ta famille gardent la même vision de qui tu étais. Tu leur demandes de croire en un projet qui n'existe pas encore, en une entreprise qui ne rapporte rien et en un homme qu'ils n'ont jamais rencontré.

How do you beat the industry leader when everyone says you don't belong?In this episode of Lead The Team, Ben Fanning sits down with Alessio Artuffo, CEO of Docebo, who helped transform a small Italian startup into a global SaaS leader, scaling the business from roughly $1 million to more than $200 million in ARR.Alessio shares the pivotal moments that shaped both the company and his leadership—from being underestimated because of his accent, to winning an enterprise customer that was ten times larger than Docebo's annual revenue by competing against the industry's biggest player.He also explains why authenticity beats polish, how clarity becomes a competitive advantage as organizations grow, and why the best leaders inspire rather than control.In this episode, you'll learn:How underdogs can outperform industry leadersWhy proving people wrong became Alessio's greatest source of motivationThe leadership principles behind scaling from startup to global SaaS companyHow to build teams that thrive through trust, clarity, and accountabilityWhy AI is transforming workplace learning—and what leaders need to do differentlyWhether you're building a startup, leading a growing organization, or competing against companies much larger than your own, this conversation offers practical lessons on leadership, resilience, and scaling with purpose.Chapters:00:00 – How an underdog startup challenged the market leader02:18 – Why Alessio joined a 15-person company06:39 – The challenges of expanding into North America09:22 – The customer who criticized his accent13:35 – Winning an enterprise deal against the industry's biggest competitor20:19 – Scaling a culture built on clarity and trust24:28 – How AI is reshaping workplace learning33:10 – Why great leaders choose grace over force-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

Your home inspection business can be busy and still be fragile. If revenue depends on one-time clients and the owner's calendar, what happens when you want to step back, hire more people, or sell? That question drives a candid conversation with Daniel Dunlop, a working inspector who launched a separate pest control company and is already seeing what recurring revenue can do.We dig into the numbers and the reality behind them: quarterly pest control programs, monthly commercial contracts, and why annual recurring revenue (ARR) changes business value in a way home inspections rarely can. Daniel shares what surprised him most, from licensing and separate insurance to audits, chemical handling, and the scheduling logistics that don't look anything like an inspection day.We also get practical about growth. We talk about setting up a separate brand with its own website and phone number, using simple post-inspection follow-ups to convert warm leads, and why trust is the real unfair advantage for home inspectors. If you've ever wondered how to build an exit strategy, create predictable cash flow, or cross-train inspectors as pest technicians to scale, this one lays out a clear path.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share it with an inspector who's stuck at “what's next,” and leave a review with your biggest question about adding an adjacent service.Check out our home inspection app at www.inspectortoolbelt.comNeed a home inspection website?

Eran Galperin is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who had already had one VC-backed marketplace failure when he started Gymdesk. Originally called Martial Arts on Rails, it launched in 2016 as a naive version of what he thought a gym needed. He was training five or six times a week and every gym owner he knew hated the software they used. For four years he couldn't acquire customers, so he took a job as CTO of an e-commerce company and built the product on nights and weekends. Growth finally came through organic SEO, which still drives over half of new leads. He hit $3M in ARR by the end of 2023 with 16 employees, no salespeople, and over 40% of free trials converting without a demo. In May 2024 he sold a majority stake to Five Elms Capital for $32.5M in cash for his share. What they paid the premium for wasn't size — it was churn under 1% a month, three straight years of more than doubling, profit margins over 50%, and a payments business compounding underneath. He stayed on eighteen months and now lives in Tokyo, building a custom house and an AI vision product for real estate. Key Takeaways Churn Ceiling — Churn is the cap on growth; under 1% monthly is what buyers pay premiums for. Slow Bake — Four years of nights and weekends let the product mature in ways funded companies never can. Payments Compound — Profit share from payment providers grows as volume grows, and buyers pay extra for those rails. Buyers Differ Wildly — One expert said 5X was his cap; Five Elms paid 10X because they buy outcome, not value. Get Representation — A $60K legal bill and a good M&A broker closed the information asymmetry with private equity. Quote from Eran Galperin, Founder of Gymdesk "What we did have was very low churn, and that's one of the factors that helped us get the premium when we sold the company. Everybody building SaaS eventually realizes that churn is the cap your company has on growth. Eventually churn, which is a relative number, grows to the point where it meets the absolute numbers of your growth. "Because we had very low churn, less than one percent month over month, that definitely helped us start the conversation from a very good position. The other element was that growth was very consistent year over year. I think we more than doubled three years straight. "That in combination with the low churn and high profit margins was the last big item. We had a lean team, and we were over fifty percent profit margins when we sold. This was a firm that had multiple other portfolio companies similar to us, so they had a pretty good idea what a successful outcome would look like for them, and we filled all those criteria."

Et si attendre la motivation était la pire erreur que tu puisses faire pour transformer ta vie ?Nous passons tous par là : regarder une vidéo inspirante, lire un livre ou écouter un podcast pour chasser la procrastination. Pendant quelques heures, on se sent invincible... puis le lendemain, l'énergie s'est envolée. Pourquoi ? Parce que la motivation est une émotion instable. On ne bâtit pas un empire ou un corps d'élite sur des émotions passagères.Dans cet épisode du Mindset Show, on casse le mythe de la motivation pour aller chercher la seule chose qui crée une discipline incassable : ton identité.Tu n'agis pas en fonction de tes objectifs ou de tes désirs. Tu agis en fonction de l'image que tu as de toi-même. Si tu te considères comme quelqu'un qui abandonne ou qui procrastine, ton cerveau fera tout pour rester cohérent avec cette histoire. Il est temps de fermer le fossé entre la personne que tu es aujourd'hui et celle que tu dois devenir.Au programme de cette prise de conscience brute :Motivation vs Identité : Pourquoi une personne disciplinée ne négocie pas avec elle-même et n'attend jamais "d'avoir envie".Le mécanisme de la dissociation cognitive : Comment prendre de la hauteur et observer les résistances inconscientes de ton cerveau.L'accumulation de preuves : Le protocole simple pour envoyer des messages neuronaux clairs à ton cerveau et ancrer de nouveaux standards.Définir ton standard non négociable : Comment agir comme la personne accomplie que tu veux devenir, dès aujourd'hui.Arrête d'essayer de changer ce que tu fais en surface.

Why a motorcycle first aid kit should be part of your riding gear — and why the kit itself is only part of being prepared.A motorcycle first aid kit often gets treated like an extra — something for remote trips, cautious riders, or people with medical training. But if riding motorcycles carries risk, then first aid should be part of the preparation. Not just a small pouch of bandages, but a kit that makes sense for motorcycling, the places we ride, and the situations we may come across.

Haroon Meer is back! Haroon is the Founder of Thinkst, the ~50-person bootstrapped company behind Canary and Canarytokens — honeypots and tripwires you sprinkle inside your network and forget about until an attacker touches one. We talk about the AWS API key token attackers just can't resist trying, the real credit card token backed by an actual bank partnership, Breadcrumbs (their brand-new feature that leads intruders straight to your canaries), a live demo where a hardware Canary becomes a Synology NAS in one click, and how a company with zero outbound sales and no price increase in ten years quietly passed $22.5 million in ARR.

Mi van akkor, ha egy cégvezetőnek nem az a legfontosabb kérdés, hogy mi történik ma a politikában, hanem az, hogy mi fog történni holnap - és hogyan hat majd a piacára, a döntéseire vagy a stratégiájára? Dull Szabolcs politikai elemző és stratégiai tanácsadó, az Ötpontban és az Innen és túl készítője olyan világba enged betekintést, amit kívülről sokan csak találgatnak: háttérbeszélgetések, bizalmi kapcsolatok, politikai szimat, sőt egy szaunás sztori is előkerül arról, hogyan áramlik az információ a nyilvánosság mögött. De ez az epizód nem politikai pletykaműsor. Arról szól, hogyan lesz a politikai elemzésből üzleti termék, miért fizetnek érte cégvezetők, és miért lehet drága hiba vállalkozóként nem érteni a politikai logikát. Szóba kerül az Index, a Telex, a saját brand építése, a hírlevélből és podcastből felépített üzleti modell, Magyar Péter mint saját médiacsatorna, az AI, és az is, mi történik a híroldalakkal, ha a kapuőr szerepet átveszik az influencerek, algoritmusok és politikai szereplők saját csatornái.

Matthew Bullis grew up in a mud-brick hut with no running water on a small island off South Korea, was adopted to the US at 11 speaking no English. After a dot-com near-miss, he took over his brother's struggling concrete-pumping software — down to about $20,000 a year — for 90% of the company. He taught himself to code and rebuilt it from scratch. From 2016, Bullis built RapidWorks into the operational system of record for heavy-equipment subcontractors: concrete pumping, cranes, hydrovac, and other site services. RapidWorks helps contractors book jobs, dispatch crews, manage the field, and get paid faster with accuracy and speed, taking dispatchers' productivity from 20 jobs to 60+. Today the company is near $20 million in ARR, serving more than 80% of the concrete-pumping market. In 2023, approaching $5 million in revenue, Bullis sold a majority to Wavecrest Growth Partners and brought in a new CEO Tim Curran with a new executive team. Matthew  expected to be phased out within a year. Instead, by staying flexible and solving whatever broke, he became indispensable as chief strategy officer, taking on important strategic execution roles across the company where he was needed. Key Takeaways Solve any problem — A bootstrapper's real value is surviving anything and solving whatever breaks. Stay flexible — Don't trade on past wins; credibility comes from the value you create now. Sit with customers — Weeks in their offices surfaced problems they never thought to ask for. Hire your boss — A ready-made CEO and team de-risk the scale a founder can't reach alone. Keep perspective — Nothing is as good or as bad as it feels in the moment. Quote from Matthew Bullis, Co-Founder and CSO of RapidWorks "To stay useful and relevant when you're not the CEO any more, you have to be flexible. People overemphasize the value of what they've done in the past: look at all the great things I did. But that's like living in your high school glory days. It doesn't merit much, and you can't expect people to give you credibility just for what you built. "Your real value is surviving anything and solving any problems. Take that to heart — I can survive anything, I can solve any problem, I can create value for myself and the people around me. Under any difficult situation, people are drawn to people of value. "So I stopped staying quiet. When I saw things weren't done right, I spoke up, and the seasoned leadership saw my opinions had value. When people see value in you, and you really help, they want you on their team — that's how I won the other executives over."

How can architecture firms unlock decades of buried institutional knowledge, and what happens to the apprenticeship model when every detail the firm has ever drawn is just a single query away?In this bonus episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee dives into a conversation created with Pirros, exploring how technology bridges the gap between historic firm data and daily production workflows. The episode features Ross Wagner, who leads sales at Pirros, alongside Xander Ellenbogen, a senior BIM manager at Clark Nexsen. Together, they explore how firms can transition from hunting through endless subfolders to operating with an intelligent, centralized knowledge base.Ross shares his trajectory from designing high-rise residential projects to riding the technology wave at PlanGrid and Autodesk, eventually joining Pirros to help firms maximize their workflow efficiency. Xander provides an on-the-ground perspective from Clark Nexsen, discussing his evolution from a traditional architect and the firm's first commercial drone pilot to managing advanced BIM workflows. He explains how his firm used Pirros to adapt to a post-COVID, discipline-based model, allowing team members across multiple offices and states to access vetted, high-quality details instantaneously.The conversation digs deeply into the broader implications of AI in the AECO space, specifically addressing the common comparison to the historical CAD-to-BIM shift. While the CAD-to-BIM transition still resulted in flat 2D drawing deliverables, the guests argue that AI represents a fundamentally different leap focused on data portability and knowledge preservation across an entire firm. They also tackle the crucial element of change management in a trust-driven profession, outlining the "sandwich effect" required to achieve widespread software adoption from leadership down to production staff."We're not here to flatten creativity and just be a place where you copy and paste. It's a place where you learn, you mentor, but also ensure that you don't go through the tedious tasks of reinventing the wheel each time and basically spend a bunch of hours hunting for something that you are trying to learn from." - Ross WagnerFinally, they look ahead to the future of design with recent tools like Mira, a Revit agentic copilot, and discuss how firms can maintain the critical thinking required in the traditional apprenticeship model while letting AI do the tedious heavy lifting.GuestsRoss Wagner, Assoc. AIA, began his career in architecture before moving into design technology, where he helped scale PlanGrid from under $10M to over $100M in ARR before its acquisition by Autodesk. Now Head of Sales at Pirros, he helps AECO firms improve productivity by transforming historical design content into trusted, accessible knowledge.Xander Ellenbogen, AIA, is a licensed architect and Senior BIM Manager at Clark Nexsen, where he leads BIM standards, Revit workflows, and reality capture initiatives across the firm. With a background spanning architectural design and BIM leadership, he is currently directing a firmwide template rebuild as part of the JMT merger while continuing to serve as an Associate Principal.This episode is especially for you if:✅You want to understand how Pirros captures a firm's historical work into an intelligent, AI-based search engine to prevent team members from redrawing existing details.✅ You are curious about the "sandwich effect" in change management and how to secure software buy-in from both firm leadership and production staff.✅ You want to explore why the CAD-to-BIM shift failed to move past 2D deliverables and how the AI shift focuses on data portability instead.✅ You want to learn how firms can preserve the traditional apprenticeship model by using AI to handle 70% of the baseline work while keeping designers focused on the remaining 30% of critical problem-solving.✅ You are interested in the potential of agentic workflows in Revit, such as Pirros' recently released chatbot copilot, Mira.What have you done to take action lately?

Balance on a motorcycle is often treated like something a rider either has or does not have, but low-speed motorcycle balance is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined. Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre and host, Jim Martin, examine what happens when the bike slows down, how riders manage balance through steering, peg weighting, body position, acceleration, and foot placement, and what putting a foot down can reveal about motorcycle control, confidence, and riding skill.

How can early-stage startups drive true transformation in the AECO space, and what happens when AI-native tools are designed to amplify human intent rather than replace the architect?In this bonus episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee explores the intersection of corporate acceleration and cutting-edge startup innovation. The conversation brings together German Aparicio from Trimble Ventures alongside Yiping Goh and Carlos Banon, the co-founders of Formas.AI.German walks listeners through the Trimble 0-60 accelerator program, which was recently named Built World's Accelerator Program of the Year. This 12-week, historically equity-free program invites early-stage startups to build on top of Trimble platforms like SketchUp and showcase their live integrations at Trimble Dimensions in Las Vegas this November. Herman outlines how Trimble acts as a system of record, searching for partners to create systems of action and intelligence across three key pillars: connected data, connected design, and the connected field. He also defines what "early stage" means for the program, targeting companies founded within the last five years, making under $2 million ARR, and operating with a couple of early customers looking to scale.The spotlight then shifts to Formas.AI, a participant in the current cohort operating in the connected design space. Co-founders Yiping and Carlos explain how their AI-native design workspace is bridging the gap between an initial sketch, reference image, or floor plan and a buildable 3D model in hours instead of months. Carlos, an architect and professor, shares how the tool was born out of personal frustration with fragmented interfaces and broken workflows that detach designers from the joy of creating. Yiping provides an entrepreneurial lens on the broader AEC industry, noting that while it represents 13% of global GDP, it remains one of the least digitized sectors, heavily reliant on legacy software and restricted by the slow timeline of physical building processes.Together, the group tackles the critical challenges of technology adoption, highlighting trust as a core barrier for practitioners who have invested heavily in traditional tools. Rather than replacing human designers, the founders argue for a democratization of design through guardrails that preserve creative authorship and intent. As Formas.AI navigates its 12-week acceleration path, they aim to leverage Trimble's ecosystem to deliver a validated, highly precise design experience that brings excitement and joy back to the craft."We are believing in the future of design being more human led, less or not even about human replaced. That the winners of AI are the ones that really can give people more creative power, not less." - Yiping GohThis episode serves as an inspiring look at how industry giants and agile startups can co-create workflows that amplify human intuition and make design fun again.GuestsGerman Aparicio runs the Zero to 60 accelerator program at Trimble Ventures. As a trained architect, he focuses on scaling early-stage software and hardware innovations that connect data, design, and job sites across the full project lifecycle.Yiping Goh is the co-founder and CEO of Formas.AI. She is a tech entrepreneur currently scaling her fourth company, with a professional background spanning a real estate degree, venture capital, corporate venture building at McKinsey, and multiple successful company exits.Carlos Banon is an architect, computational designer, and professor who has taught design in Singapore for the last 13 years. A self-taught coder since age six, he is the design and technical mind behind Formas.AI, having built its foundational versions to streamline creative workflows.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You want to understand how the Trimble 0-60 accelerator helps early-stage startups scale by integrating directly into established industry platforms like SketchUp.✅ You are curious about how Formas.AI closes the gap between a rough sketch and a buildable model using natural language and multimodal AI tools.✅ You want to explore why trust, legacy tools, and authority code submissions present unique adoption challenges within the AEC space.✅ You believe that AI technology should amplify a designer's creative intent and preserve human authorship rather than generate generic, unmeaningful variations.What have you done to take action lately?

במשך תקופה ארוכה הפוקוס המרכזי של מאנדיי היה על צמיחה דרך לקוחות חדשים והגדלת ה-ARR. עם בסיס עצום של מעל ל-250 אלף לקוחות, רק קצה הפירמידה זכה לליווי צמוד ופרואקטיבי, בעוד שאר המשתמשים קיבלו מענה בעיקר כשכבר צצה בעיה בשטח. אבל כשהחברה הגיעה למאסה קריטית, היה ברור שהמשחק ההתקפי של רכישת לקוחות חדשים כבר לא מספיק לבדו. כדי להמשיך לגדול בצורה בריאה, מאנדיי הייתה חייבת לחזק את המשחק ההגנתי שלה, כלומר, להסתכל לאתגר של נטישת הלקוחות בעיניים וללמוד איך לשמור על הנכס הכי גדול שלה: הלקוחות הקיימים. מתוך ההבנה שלכל ארגון יש "דלי דולף" ושהרבה יותר זול ומשתלם לשמר לקוח מאשר לגייס חדש, הוקם לפני כשנה ארגון ה-CCO (Chief Customer Officer) במאנדיי. המטרה הייתה לאחד את כל גופי השירות, התמיכה והסאקסס שהיו מפוזרים בחברה תחת קורת גג אחת, ולפתור את בעיית ה-"Too many cooks in the kitchen", מצב שבו פונקציות שונות פועלות מול אותו לקוח במקביל ללא סנכרון. בפרק השבוע, דריה ורטהיים משוחחת עם עדי דר, ה-CCO של מאנדיי, על הדרך שבה הם פיצחו את האתגר והפכו את מערך השירות מריאקטיבי לפרואקטיבי. עדי מסביר כיצד ה-AI הפך למנוע, החל מפתרון אוטומטי של מעל 70% מתיקי התמיכה היומיים, ועד לשימוש ב-Risk Engine, מערכת שמזהה ירידה בשימוש וסימני שבר אצל הלקוח עוד לפני שהבעיה בכלל צפה. בנוסף, הוא משתף כיצד הם מייסמים סגמנטציה, איך מנהלים מערך Tech Touch שנוגע בעשרות אלפי לקוחות במקביל, וכיצד חיבור מודל הקומפנסיישן של אנשי השירות לתוצאות השימור בפועל שינה את התמונה.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Roberge, founding CRO at HubSpot and co-founder of Stage 2 Capital, joins Sam Jacobs and AJ Bruno to tackle the question every board is asking in 2026: how do you actually measure AI's impact on a go-to-market team? They get into the revenue velocity formula, why selling time is the one variable AI can realistically double, and the ICONIQ data showing AI lifts top-of-funnel conversion 11% while barely moving active deal cycles. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo on Palantir's 137% rule of 40 and Twilio's $5.6 million ARR per employee, a debate on whether the AI-era winner is the first mover or the fast follower, and a bull-versus-bear on whether HubSpot is the most mispriced stock in software at $3.5 billion in ARR. Key Takeaways: - Of the four variables in the revenue velocity formula, selling time is the one AI can realistically double right now. As Mark Roberge put it: "best in class has historically been about 30%. And I see a lot of evidence that today's AI can push that to 60% plus… all you do is go from 30% to 60% selling time, just algebraically you double productivity." - Before measuring AI's impact, stop accepting vague claims that a team is "AI-enabled." Roberge said he got fed up hearing it in board meetings if they can't show measurable impact.  - Set realistic expectations on what AI has actually delivered so far. Asked whether any company has jumped from tier B to tier A on AI adoption, Roberge was blunt: "Not on like a 2x, but on a 10% to 20%… I've been disappointed… it's not our portfolio, it's just the entire ecosystem." The step-change, he believes, is still ahead. - In the AI era, the copycat often beats the pioneer. "they all say fast follower wins most of the time," Roberge said of the research he could find, "it's about a third first mover, two-thirds fast follower." Faster product cycles and first movers stuck in what he calls "ACV jail" tilt the odds toward the fast follower.

How to Choose the Best Camping Setup for the Way You RideBefore you start comparing motorcycle tents, sleeping pads, stoves, chairs, pack sizes, and weights, there is an important question to answer. In this episode, Ben Williams from Moto Camp Nerd talks about a simple way to think through your motorcycle camping setup before you start buying gear, so your choices are based on the way you actually ride and travel, not just someone else's packing list. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland and Turkana Gear also share lessons learned from years of motorcycle travel, including what they've overpacked, what they've replaced, and what has earned a permanent place in their kit. It's a practical conversation about choosing gear with purpose, not just following the latest trends.

The marketing funnel you've built your whole strategy around? It never described how people actually buy. It was a tidy oversimplification, and in a world of zero-click search and AI-saturated channels, it's never held up worse.In this episode, Amber sits down with Udi Ledergor — Gong's first marketer, now Chief Evangelist, author of Courageous Marketing, and the guy who ran a Super Bowl ad and coined a category on the way to $500M in ARR.Udi's argument cuts against the "hack-everything" reflex of modern GTM: brand isn't a vibe, it's trust, and trust is the only thing that makes a buyer go straight to you instead of crawling through a funnel. What this episode covers:Why brand comes down to one thing, trust, and how raving fans replace the funnel entirelyThe unconventional bets behind Gong's brand: the Super Bowl spot, the bulldog, the 2021 enterprise rebrandWhy Courageous Marketing never mentions AI on purpose, and what makes a marketing principle timelessThe two-headed dragon: what actually fixes sales and marketing alignment (hint: do you know how your CRO takes their coffee?)Why a marketing team not working from the same data as sales is committing a crime against its own companyHow AI agents now prove marketing's hard impactThis episode unpacks exactly why the companies winning right now are the ones people demand their employer buy.-----------------------------------------------------

Why Robert Pirsig's Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn'tTed Simon is best known as the author of Jupiter's Travels, one of the most influential motorcycle travel books ever written. Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is another book that has long held a strange place in motorcycling culture: widely known, often recommended, and perhaps just as often left unfinished. In this conversation, Ted talks about finally reading Pirsig's famous book and why it matters to him in a way listeners might not expect. Is it really a motorcycle book? Why has it stayed in the minds of riders for so many years? And what does motorcycle maintenance mean when the machine beneath you is not just a symbol, but the thing that determines whether the journey continues? What begins with one famous motorcycle book soon opens into Ted's own memories of travel, breakdowns, repair, and the very practical reality of keeping a journey alive when there is no easy answer and no one else to do the work.
