Varant Zanoyan was born in Washington DC, and grew up there and in Switzerland as well. He now lives in the Bay Area, specifically San Mateo. He's spent time at Palantir Technologies, as well as a stint building ML tech at AirBnB. But outside of tech, he loves the outdoors, tending to his garden of plants and vegetables. After taking a good hike, he's been digging a good uni pizza for dinner. Prior to his current venture, Varant was working at AirBnB, developing Chronon - an open source data management engine, used to power AI/ML infrastructure. It was then that he and his team realized that building and managing data pipelines was a bottleneck for AI dev, and decided to spin into a standalone platform. This is the creation story of Zipline AI. Linkshttps://zipline.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/vzanoyan Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

Episode Description: On Week 3 of our series through James, Pastor Phil EuBank swaps chairs to sit down with Matt Summers to ask a grounding question: What do your words reveal about the "junk drawer" of your life? Continuing our year dedicated to Reclaiming The Way of Jesus, Phil and Matt unpack what it means to build atmospheres with our words in the fast-paced, highly verbal culture of the Bay Area. Together, they explore the tension between our carefully crafted outward communication and the underlying spiritual formation that actually fuels our daily reactions. This conversation shifts from playful insights on holding onto 2012 charging cables to a deep, diagnostic look at the damage our tongues can do. Tune in as they break down: The difference between simply managing what comes out of our mouths and dealing with what's actually stored in our hearts. How our words act like lightning strikes, starting relational wildfires that create the environments others have to live in. What it means to hold "conviction without contempt" as we head into a politically charged and polarized season. What a "Thoughtful Witness" actually looks like at a Tuesday night dinner table—and how to move past self-surveillance into genuine curiosity. Grab your Reclaiming Journal, write down the question What did my words create today? and join us for an honest look at recovering the Way of Jesus in the place we actually live.

If you've ever wondered why the same flight, hotel room, or grocery item seems to cost a different amount depending on who's buying it, you're not imagining things. Companies are using the data we expose online, including our location, our browsing habits, even assumptions about our income, to decide what prices to charge us. It's called surveillance pricing, and it's becoming more common across the retail world – from airlines to grocery chains right here in the Bay Area.KALW's personal finance reporter Francesca Fenzi found out just how personal, and hard to escape, this practice really is.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Smit Vachhani from Cronos Labs, a fascinating builder who has worked across NVIDIA, LinkedIn, and Optimism before landing at the intersection of crypto, stocks, prediction markets, and AI. We dig into why Gen Z is financially nihilistic right now and why that actually creates a massive opportunity. Smit breaks down the concept of hyper-financialization, explains why retaining Gen Z users is far harder than acquiring them, and shares the raw growth lessons he picked up at big tech and in the trenches of a Layer 2 ecosystem. We also talk about what most Web3 founders get wrong, why bad UX has been the industry's dirty secret for too long, and how Cronos is building an everything trading app for eight tier one markets around the world. If you are building in Web3 or crypto and want a no-BS growth perspective from someone who has seen it all, this one is for you. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In this episode, Josh Allen, founder of Companion Baking in St. Louis, Missouri, shares how he turned a love of baking discovered in the Bay Area into a frozen artisan bread manufacturer shipping custom products across all 48 contiguous states. Guided by his grandfather's advice to listen to his customers, Josh built the business one customer and one product at a time, pivoted from wholesale to frozen manufacturing, and made helping customers tell their stories through bread the heart of what Companion does. He also reflects on why he always took the private equity calls out of curiosity, what made Shore different, and why partnering now rather than later lets him stay part of the journey as Companion builds its platform.Key Takeaways:Listen to your customers and they'll tell you how to grow. One customer, one product, one SKU at a time built a 33-year business.Say yes first and figure it out later. The willingness to solve a customer's problem tomorrow, like renting a van to deliver bread two hours away, opened the pivot to frozen that transformed the company.Sell the story, not the SKU. When customers help design their own bread, price fades and the relationship becomes sticky.Partner while you still have runway.

In this episode of Blunt Business, Berner opens up about putting his own money on the line to co-write, co-direct, and produce his gritty Bay Area crime thriller, Splash City. Rather than waiting around for traditional studio approval, the cannabis mogul and artist invested $2 million of his own capital to deliver a finished film to Lionsgate, exploring San Francisco's underground wave of "bipping" through the eyes of two brothers on divergent paths. Berner shares how he navigated two years in the editing bay whittling down a sprawling three-and-a-half-hour cut into a tight 90 minutes, the process of demanding authentic street dialogue, and the satisfaction of watching his self-funded gamble pay off on the theatrical big screen.Splash City is streaming on demand on streaming platforms including Apple, Roku and Prime VideoAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union is a powerful organizing force in the Bay Area, and it all got its start more than 90 years ago. Today, the little known history of San Francisco's “Bloody Thursday.” Then, we peer through the lens of more than a century of Muni photography.

Over the years, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, or ILWU, has thrown their weight behind many causes. Like in 2020, they shut down the ports entirely, to support the Black Lives Matter movement and protest the police murder of George Floyd.The ILWU is a powerful organizing force in the Bay Area. And the union actually got its start with a massive general strike and a deadly run-in with police over 90 years ago, right here in San Francisco.And just in time for Labor Day, we're bringing you this latest episode of The Public Works series. Reporter Sheryl Kaskowitz dives into the history of the ILWU and a radical labor leader who isn't a household name today.

Most nonprofits chase a celebrity two months before their gala, email an agent, ask about money, and wonder why they get ghosted.Afam Onyema has spent 19 years doing the opposite. As CEO of the GEANCO Foundation, he has brought Oprah, Daniel Craig, Charize Theron, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Prince Harry and Meghan into the work of saving and transforming lives in Nigeria. In this episode he breaks down exactly how, and almost none of it is about asking for a check.The core idea: celebrities want to help, but the ask is usually terrible. It leads with money, it is transactional, and it is rushed. Afam walks Trevor through the ask that actually works: build the relationship first, ask on behalf of the people you serve, and offer the one thing that costs the celebrity nothing but raises you millions, which is access. Set visits, premiere tickets, and time with your donors turn a "no" into a repeatable revenue stream.Whether you run a soup kitchen in Toledo or a national foundation, there is a local athlete, actor, or executive within 100 miles of you who has never been asked the right way.

I want to mention at the outset of this meeting that Janmashtami has been historically the best time to distribute Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam sets. People come to see Kṛṣṇa; they're in a very open-hearted mood. Last night, we did a pre-Janmashtami festival in a far-flung place on the dark side of the moon near where we live here in the Bay Area—it's a long drive. The devotees had put on an amazing Janmashtami ceremony for the local people who live there. Their consumption of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was seemingly insatiable, and one of the reasons that they took so many Bhāgavatam sets last night was because we had three stations to present them in the crowd. People were milling from one place to the next, and then they would inevitably come to a station where the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was prominently displayed and where there were several devotees there to assist them in taking their copy of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam home with them. So, my suggestion is: take advantage of Janmashtami, because it's the most logical time that people would take a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam set. It's the time in which they're coming to see Kṛṣṇa. These people who come to Janmashtami are the cream of the crop. They want to see Kṛṣṇa, and many of them would like to take a set of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatams home with them. So, keep in mind the three keys to distributing a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam set: Pray Display Relay I'll repeat that as we continue because other devotees may be joining. Let's not miss the biggest opportunity of the Bhādra period, which is Janmashtami. Be ready for it; take advantage of it.

Join us as we explore the worldwide phenomenon behind the revival of Homer's 3000-year-old story, the kaleidoscopic and hallucinogenic return of Odysseus to Ithaka, the Greek island that has become an icon for home itself. There is the immense beauty of the poem itself and the historical importance of Homer's accomplishment, but what does the story mean to us now, how can it help illuminate the chaos of our lives today? Composed by the Poet Known as Homer, around 650 BC, it was based on a story about the Trojan War that was already hundreds of years old. Since then, the story about the hallucinogenic adventures of Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and wife Penelope have cast a spell over cultures around the world, haunting poets, playwrights and philosophers, and taunting the efforts of archaeologists, linguists and now filmmakers to render it in modern terms. Our conversation will explore the myriad life lessons of Homer's masterpiece that have inspired readers, listeners and now viewers for millennia, with a focus on the central theme of the nostoi, the return stories of ancient Greek soldiers, adventurers, philosophers and scientists coming home, and the wider question of what home meant to the ancients—and what home means to us now, the most rootless people in recorded history. Along the way, we will have an animated exchange about the wide range of translations, from Alexander Pope, T. E. Lawrence, and E. V. Rieu, to Richard Lattimore, Emily Wilson and Daniel Mendelosohn. Finally, we will playfully review the myriad movie versions, from George Melies' four-minute version in 1905, to the 1956 Ulysses with Kirk Douglas, and the freshly minted Odyssey helmed by Christopher Nolan.   Finally, there is the surprising realization that it is five female characters (Penelope, Athena, Calypso, Circe and Nausicaa) who helped guide Odysseus homeward, and the centuries-long influence on art, literature and cinema. Join us for a celebration of the soul-saving power of this ancient Greek tale, which sings of the aftermath of a savage war and the restoration of our hero's home, all the while insisting on need to say “yes” to life.  About the Speaker Phil Cousineau is the author of The Wisdom of the Odyssey and over 40 other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage, and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work.

The current administration has made it their  goal to shrink the federal government. But many of the impacted agencies were actually created from a belief in a more expansive role for the federal government — an idea that can be traced back to the 1930s, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's “New Deal” programs. The focus back then was to help the country recover from the Great Depression, but the New Deal is still all around us today. To bring that back to light, KALW has created a series called ‘The Public Works.' It's all about understanding where the New Deal came from and why it still matters here in the Bay Area.  So far, the series has covered Public art, public space, and preserving folk music. In this one, reporter Sheryl Kaskowitz learns about the secret messages that the New Deal has left behind.

Music runs deep with Bonnie Hayes. Growing up, her home was filled with music, and two of her brothers also traveled down a musical path: Her brother Chris was lead guitarist for Huey Lewis & The News, and brother Kevin was the drummer for the Robert Cray Band. As a young musician, Bonnie's focus was jazz, and one of her first jobs was teaching music at the Blue Bear School of Music in the Bay area. From there, she sidetracked into punk and new wave and started The Punts in San Francisco, which later became Bonnie Hayes with the Wild Combo. If you've seen the 1983 movie "Valley Girl", you'll hear the song "Girls Like Me" at the start of the film, along with "Shelley's Boyfriend." However, songwriting and education became Bonnie's focus, both for herself and for other musicians. Many of her songs were picked-up and recorded by a variety of artists, including Bonnie Raitt, Cher, David Crosby, Natalie Cole, Adam Ant, Huey Lewis, Bette Midler and many others. In 2013, Hayes became chair of the songwriting department at Berklee in Boston. In 2022, she returned to the Bay Area to found a youth All Star Songwriting Program at Blue Bear School of Music. To talk more about her extensive career in the music business, Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Bonnie Hayes.

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo pursuit. We were created to know God and to be deeply connected to His people, working together to fulfill the mission He has given us. The Great Commission defines what we do, and the Great Commandment shapes how we do it: loving God and loving one another. Healthy, authentic relationships aren't optional to the life of the church; they are how the body of Christ grows strong and moves together. We have a big job to do, and we were never meant to do it alone.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Grayson's field work across the Bay Area, Tesla's September 3rd Cybercab launch and Nevada's authorization of 8,000 autonomous vehicles in Clark County.Fresh off a week of field work in California, Grayson shares firsthand impressions from his first rides in Waymo's Zeekr-built Ojai, including a visit to Waymo's Toland depot in San Francisco. While the Ojai rides lighter and less luxurious than the Jaguar I-PACE, its elevated sensor placement meaningfully reduces repair costs and insurance payouts in the event of a rear-end collision.Grayson views the Ojai as a stopgap vehicle on the path to the Hyundai IONIQ 5, which he believes will be Waymo's massive production ramp vehicle. After riding in the Zoox, the Ojai and the Jaguar back-to-back, and observing Waymo's infrastructure buildout from San Francisco down to San Jose, Grayson makes a prediction. When Waymo adds roughly 1,000 to 1,200 additional vehicles in the Bay Area, the company will capture a significant portion of the rideshare market share.Grayson also rode with Wayve with his AUTNMY AI co-founder Rob Grant in a fully dynamic, no-fixed-route supervised ride, noting the technology has accelerated meaningfully since his last ride in London as Wayve gears up for unsupervised operations.Turning to Tesla, the Cybercab is scheduled to commercially launch in Austin on September 3rd, with Grayson expecting a measured rollout of sub-30 Cybercabs in week one, driven by an internal safety metric and infrastructure that is still being built out.Meanwhile, Nevada's Transportation Authority unanimously authorized 8,000 autonomous vehicles in Clark County over 12 months. But the growth comes with a catch, as autonomy drop-off fees and exclusive resort partnerships threaten to bring Vegas-style nickel and diming to robotaxis in Sin City.On the foreign autonomy desk, China's Autonomous Belt and Road Initiative continues to take hold in Europe.Episode Chapters0:00 Grayson's Latest Bay Area Field Report19:30 How Many Cars Will Actually Be on the Road when Cybercab Launches?24:25 Tesla's Self-Certification Strategy for Cybercab25:31 Tesla Semi30:40 Waymo's 10 AI Lessons36:36 The Robotaxi Infrastructure, Energy and Manufacturing Layers37:38 Nevada Authorizes 8,000 Autonomous Vehicles in Clark County39:55 Uber's Robotaxi Playbook Raises Doubts42:08 Waymo Expands to Munich, Germany45:06 NVIDIA Earnings.
