The right room can change the trajectory of your business in ways you could never plan for. Stephanie Cartin can trace some of the biggest opportunities in her career back to one decision she made before she felt ready, and what followed continued compounding for more than a decade. Cait and Stephanie unpack what most entrepreneurs misunderstand about networking, how to build relationships that open bigger doors, and why visibility matters long before you feel "ready" to be seen. Stephanie also shares the deeply personal motherhood journey that tested everything she thought she knew about control, and how opening up to community became far more powerful than she ever expected. Key Takeaways • The early investment Stephanie made before she felt ready, and how it shaped the next 15 years of her business (4:40) • What most entrepreneurs get wrong about networking and the relationship-building habits that actually create opportunities (9:52) • How to become someone people naturally refer, recommend, and speak about in rooms you are not in (10:55) • The motherhood experience that forced Stephanie to release control and lean on community in an entirely new way (21:33) • Why being the "best-kept secret" can limit your growth, no matter how good your work is (34:25) About Stephanie Cartin Stephanie Cartin is a serial entrepreneur, investor, author, and podcast host who has built multiple seven-figure businesses, including Socialfly and Entreprenista Media. She co-founded Pearl Influential Capital, which was acquired by Cherub, and champions women founders through the Entreprenista League.

In this episode of the Finovate podcast, host Greg sits down with Luca Terragni, Chief Revenue Officer and co-founder of Prestatech, a finalist in the Risk Management category for the 2026 Finovate Awards. Luca shares his fascinating journey from traditional investment management in New York and London to launching PrestaCap, an alternative lending platform in Europe in 2016. What started as a direct lending business using their own balance sheet evolved into a powerful technology solution when Luca and his team discovered that traditional financial data points weren't sufficient for accurately assessing SMB creditworthiness. Their breakthrough came from analyzing real-time bank account transaction data, which provided a much clearer picture of a business's current financial health compared to backward-looking financial statements and credit bureau reports.The conversation delves into how Prestatech transformed from being a lender competing with banks to becoming their technology partner. After successfully exiting PrestaCap to a private equity fund in 2020, Luca and his co-founder realized their bank account data analytics technology could serve a much larger purpose. Rather than lending to a few hundred businesses annually with their own capital, they could empower banks to make better lending decisions for millions of businesses. The technology focuses on monitoring loan book health by processing SMB bank account transactions on a regular basis, identifying distress signals much earlier than they would appear in traditional credit bureau reports—a capability that's particularly valuable for regional and community banks sitting on vast, underutilized bank account data lakes.Now expanding into the U.S. market, Prestatech is bringing its battle-tested European technology to address the acute challenges American financial institutions face in the current tightening credit cycle. Luca explains that their cash flow analytics layer helps banks identify creditworthy businesses that might otherwise be filtered out by traditional underwriting methods, especially newer or "thinner-filed" companies that lack extensive credit histories but demonstrate strong real-time financial performance. With their technology already regulated and audited by the European Central Bank, Prestatech is positioning itself as a trusted partner for U.S. banks looking to enhance their risk management capabilities through smarter use of bank account transaction data.More info:Prestatech: https://www.prestatech.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/goprestatech/Luca Terragni: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terragni/Greg Palmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbpalmer/Finovate: https://www.finovate.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/finovate-conference-series/Finovate Awards: https://informaconnect.com/finovate-industry-awards/#Finovate #FinovateAwards #fintech #financialinstitutions #finalist #smb #risk #riskmanagement #modernization #technology #strategy #fintechstrategy #personalization #data #transactiondata #digitaladoption #podcast #fintechpodcast #financialservices #innovation #digitraltransformation #fintech #finserv

The Army awarded Palantir and Anduril a combined $192 million in delivery orders for the service's Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program, officials announced Tuesday, pushing the targeting platform into a production phase. Having been in development for several years, officials have touted TITAN as a “game changing” mobile ground station capable of using artificial intelligence to ingest data from a variety of sensors and package it into target recommendations, specifically for long-range fires. The Army awarded Palantir a $178.4 million deal in 2024 to deliver 10 TITAN prototypes after the company beat-out RTX for the rights to build the TITAN. Under the latest delivery announcement, the Army expects to receive eight more over the next 18 months, officials said in a press release. “This effort is the result of soldier feedback we have received over the past four years of prototyping from units utilizing TITAN prototypes in multiple configurations across diverse operating environments,” Col. Jonathan Lipscomb, a project manager for the Army's intelligence systems and analytics portfolio, said in the release. “It drastically reduces sensor-to-shooter timelines through automated target nominations while fusing the common intelligence picture.” Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expecting to allocate between $2 million and $5 million to a contractor that will help it handle and analyze voter data amid increasing fraud detection efforts centered on elections, per an acquisition forecast document published Monday. The firm-fixed-price contract is expected to be awarded in the coming weeks following an estimated solicitation release next week. The work, which is in support of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, will run through the end of the month. The contract forecast planning document follows a request for information that ICE posted last week. The Department of Homeland Security unit began the market research process to gather information about “handling and secure delivery of publicly available voter registration files and voter history files” to support HSI “fraud detection and data segmentation activities.” The comment period lasted just three days, closing Aug. 28. In an attached statement of work draft, ICE said it planned to tap a contractor to acquire and document voter registration and history files from “government-identified U.S. jurisdictions,” which it described as up to all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and any American territory that it chooses.

More content. More followers. More visibility. More leads. Those are the requests many founders bring to their marketing team or agency. But before you dive in, do you know the business problem underneath it? In this episode of The Smartest Person in the Room, Susan Saltwell talks with INSPIRED Vibe founders Christin Daniels and Amber Halverson about what they learned at the Effie Academy at Cannes Lions—and why effective marketing begins long before the creative idea. Together, they unpack a more disciplined approach for founder-led and B2B businesses: define the real growth challenge, understand the audience deeply enough to uncover what matters, determine what belief or behavior needs to change, and measure whether the work is creating meaningful business progress. This is not a conversation about chasing attention for attention's sake. It is about helping founders make better marketing decisions, ask more of their teams, and build work that earns trust, creates demand, and supports growth. Listen and subscribe if you are a founder or business leader deciding where to invest next and want to make sure your marketing plan is solving a business problem, not just producing more activity.

What does it really take to create extraordinary work with another person? Not just the exciting bits of making, but everything that happens behind the scenes. Building trust. Navigating creative differences. Talking honestly about money. Knowing when to compromise and when to hold your ground. And finding a way to keep making work together over many years without losing your own artistic voice. That's what today's conversation is really about. My guests are composer and sound artist Ain Bailey and vocalist, composer and movement artist Elaine Mitchener MBE, two artists whose work has quietly shaped the landscape of contemporary art and experimental music in Britain and internationally. Ain's work has been commissioned and exhibited by organisations including Camden Art Centre, the Serpentine, FACT Liverpool and CCS Bard in New York, and she's a recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Awards for Artists. Elaine is a Wigmore Hall Associate Artist, an MBE for Services to Music, a former DAAD Artist-in-Berlin Fellow, and an exhibiting artist in British Art Show 9, with a practice spanning contemporary music, performance and visual art. Together they've created Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner for Art on the Underground. But what they share today reaches far beyond a single commission. This is a conversation about creative partnership, artistic integrity, sustaining a practice over decades, and what it really takes to make ambitious work that lasts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creative careers aren't built by endlessly saying yes. They're built by knowing what deserves your time, having the courage to walk away from what doesn't, and trusting that the quieter seasons aren't empty. The best creative partnerships are sustained by relationships that exist beyond a single project. Building trust over time, staying connected to your community and continuing to initiate relationships creates the network of people and opportunities that keep an ambitious practice moving forward. BEST MOMENTS “They don't confuse trust with vagueness. They ask difficult questions, they're clear about expectations, they value each other's time, and they aren't afraid to have honest conversations.” “There are friends who have seen the work of somebody online and think that they would want to collaborate with them. Then they do - and it's a horror show.” “You're not behind. Rest is part of the work. Learning is part of the work.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://ainbailey.com/  https://www.elainemitchener.com/ https://www.instagram.com/elainemitchener1/ HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Annual subscribers receive a free Points Path Alerts subscription OR a 30% discount on Points Path Pro. Who actually deserves that empty first-class seat—and should an airline ever downgrade a passenger to make room for its own crew? Ed and Richard kick things off with two very different upgrade situations on American Airlines. Richard found himself first on the upgrade list with two seats remaining, only to see those seats occupied by non-revenue flight attendants. That leads into a much bigger debate over a family reportedly downgraded from business class on a Miami–Milan flight to accommodate deadheading pilots. The guys discuss the important difference between deadheading and non-rev travel, whether award passengers should be more vulnerable to downgrades, and why these decisions can undermine airline loyalty. Then, Flying Blue is introducing Light, Standard and Flex award tickets, effectively bringing the unbundling trend to award travel. A Light business-class award can mean no advance seat assignment, no lounge access and no changes or refunds. Flying Blue elites retain some benefits, but Ed and Richard worry about what this trend means for everyone sitting on a pile of airline miles. They also react to Starlux selling miles for a whopping four cents apiece and do the math on whether buying enough for a business-class award could possibly make sense. Spoiler alert: they're not reaching for their wallets. Plus, Alaska Airlines is expanding its international ambitions with new Seattle flights to Paris and Athens, and the FAA has Ed and Richard debating one of the most pressing issues in aviation: apparently, your pre-departure beverage could be an evacuation hazard.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with Seth Godin.Seth Godin returns to the show for a conversation about making work that matters in a world obsessed with hits, rankings, followers, algorithms, and approval.James opens by talking about Seth's long body of work: Purple Cow, Linchpin, Graceful, thousands of blog posts, and Seth's then-new podcast Akimbo. Seth explains why he had thought about podcasting for years but resisted it because audio creates a different kind of intimacy. In print, the voice in the reader's head is the reader's own voice. In audio, the voice belongs to the person speaking.That intimacy made podcasting powerful, but also something Seth wanted to handle carefully.From there, James asks about the structure of Akimbo. Seth says the key to a strong solo format is assertion. What are you saying that is not obvious? What are you asking people to see differently? If you cannot make the point in 15 minutes, maybe you cannot make it at all.The conversation then moves into hits. Seth explains that platforms benefit from the long tail, but creators can suffer inside it. Amazon, iTunes, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms need endless creators to show up with work, but they also train people to believe that if they do not hit number one, they failed.Seth's alternative is the smallest viable audience. Find the specific group you seek to serve. If it is 500 people, make something so good for those 500 people that they cannot help but tell someone else. That is more useful than chasing a vague mass audience or gaming a category so you can call yourself a bestseller.James and Seth connect this to Purple Cow. The book spread because Seth gave people a phrase they could use in a meeting. A “purple cow” became a way to describe something remarkable before people necessarily knew where the phrase came from.That is a key idea in the episode: every hit changes the people it touches. It does not simply entertain. It gives people a new belief, a new language, or a new way to see.Seth also explains the deeper forces under a lot of culture: fear and status. Fear keeps people from doing work that might not work. Status makes people compare themselves to the wrong people and measure the wrong things. The creator's job is to notice both, then act generously anyway.The episode closes with the craft itself. Seth says he does not check blog stats, does not read Amazon reviews, and does not shape his work around critics. The question is simpler: Did you change someone for the better in a way you are proud of?If yes, do it again.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Akimbo as a newer podcast, This Is Marketing as an upcoming book, the altMBA, platform dynamics, bestseller lists, podcasting, and Seth's then-current projects reflect the original recording period.What You'll Learn:Why Seth Godin resisted podcasting for years.How audio creates a different kind of intimacy than writing.Why a solo podcast needs a clear assertion.Why Seth focuses on overlooked, underthought, ignored, or uncomfortable ideas.Why platforms benefit from the long tail more than most creators do.Why chasing hits can distort the work.What Seth means by the “smallest viable audience.”Why a hit has to change people, not just entertain them.How Purple Cow spread by giving people useful language.Why trying to avoid criticism often makes work invisible.How fear and status shape culture, creativity, marketing, and self-worth.Why random events should not be taken personally.Why generosity requires emotional labor.What it means to choose your customers and choose your future.Why second-order teaching matters more to Seth than personal credit.Why being “amazing” starts long before the hustle.Why the best work lives in the territory of “this might not work.”Why Seth does not read reviews or track stats.How to protect the craft from outside measurement.Timestamped Chapters:[03:19] Seth Godin ReturnsJames welcomes Seth back and introduces his books, blog, and new podcast Akimbo.[05:15] Why Seth Started a PodcastSeth explains that he had thought about podcasting for years, but worried about the intimacy of audio.[07:05] Choosing the Right MediumSeth explains why a podcast reaches people differently than writing and why he avoids formats, like Twitter, that do not fit the work he wants to do.[08:17] The Solo Podcast FormatJames asks about Seth being the only guest on Akimbo, and Seth says a solo show needs a strong assertion.[09:24] Overlooked, Underthought, and Hard to ConfrontSeth distinguishes his style from pure contrarianism and says he is drawn to things people have missed or avoided.[10:47] Hitsville and the Long TailJames brings up Seth's Akimbo episode on hits, platforms, Amazon, podcasts, and the explosion of available work.[12:21] The Trap of Platform ThinkingSeth explains how platforms train creators to feel defective if they do not become number one.[13:25] Editors Cannot Pick the HitsSeth argues that people cannot reliably predict hits and that creators should not try to game their way to the top.[15:00] The Smallest Viable AudienceSeth explains why serving a specific small group can be more powerful than chasing the masses.[16:21] This Might Not WorkJames brings up Seth's large limited-edition book and how it was built for a specific audience instead of the broad market.[17:26] Why You Cannot Reverse-Engineer Gangnam StyleSeth explains why many talented people try hard and still do not hit, because hits also involve randomness.[19:14] Don't Bet Your Work on Oprah or BieberSeth explains why waiting for a powerful person to anoint your work is a bad strategy.[20:13] Finding the People Who Must Share ItSeth uses the idea of R naught to explain why a small group of people who must tell others can create spread.[20:35] Why Purple Cow SpreadSeth explains how the milk carton, the title, and the phrase itself helped people talk about the idea.[22:26] Every Hit Makes a Change HappenSeth says the real question is: What change are you trying to make in the people who engage with your work?[23:35] What Akimbo Is Trying to ChangeSeth explains that Akimbo is for people who want to think more deeply about culture and change it for the better.[25:14] Randomness, Fear, and StatusJames connects Seth's episodes, and Seth explains that much of his work is about fear and status.[27:13] Don't Take Randomness PersonallySeth says creators should expect that many launches will not become hits and organize their work accordingly.[28:33] The Craft vs. the Outside WorldJames and Seth discuss how publishers, reviewers, bestseller lists, rankings, and critics can distract from the actual work.[29:21] It's Not for YouSeth explains why broadening a project for everyone can make it average, and why creators should be willing to say who the work is for.[32:29] What Will You Do With the Microphone?Seth says he wakes up thinking about the people he seeks to serve, not how to increase traffic or revenue.[33:30] Why Seth Ignores Stats and ReviewsSeth explains that he does not check blog traffic, book sales, or Amazon reviews because that helps him keep doing the work.[34:43] Choose Your Customers, Choose Your FutureSeth gives the six-word version of audience selection and explains why customers shape the work.[35:04] Thirsty, Dissatisfied, and GenerousSeth describes his ideal audience and explains generosity as emotional labor in service of other people.[37:22] Second-Order TeachingSeth says he wants to be judged not by his work, but by what people who learned from him teach others.[38:18] Be the Person They Want to FindSeth explains why the real work happens before SEO, LinkedIn tactics, or hustle.[40:02] How Do You Become Amazing?James asks the direct question, and Seth says the essence is confronting fear and doing emotional labor.[41:00] Where Art and Innovation LiveSeth says the work that might not work is where generosity, art, innovation, and magic happen.[42:05] Warby Parker and the Risk of Something NewSeth uses Warby Parker as an example of doing something advisors said would not work.[42:49] How Seth Builds an EpisodeSeth explains how a coincidence becomes a podcast: collect stories, find the non-obvious insight, and connect the dots.[45:07] Seth the CollectorSeth describes himself as someone who collects moments, stories, and observations that may become blog posts or lessons.[46:34] Self-Awareness and the CraftJames connects Seth's work to the ability to keep distance between your belief in the craft and society's measurements.[47:04] Jiro, Awards, and the Wrong RewardSeth talks about Jiro Dreams of Sushi and the danger of external validation taking over the craft.[48:40] Marriage, Space, and StoriesJames asks Seth about marriage, and Seth talks about listening, keeping promises, creating space, and the stories people tell themselves.[52:18] Advice for James's PodcastJames asks how to change the show, and Seth suggests making one out of every four episodes a solo episode.[53:08] This Is Marketing and Closing ThoughtsSeth says his next book is This Is Marketing, James recommends Akimbo, and Seth signs off by telling him to keep making a ruckus.Additional Resources:Seth Godin Official WebsiteSeth's BlogAkimboAkimbo on Apple PodcastsThis Is Marketing — Penguin Random
