Podcasts about builders

1 Kings 6:8-13

There are two kinds of voices in the world.   Some people talk at you. Others speak for you.   An echo simply repeats what already exists. A voice brings language to what people have been carrying but could never explain.   In this teaching, Juliana shares why language matters for transformation and why leaders who are called to build cannot operate from lack or limitation. Many people feel pressure, responsibility, and calling but lack the understanding needed to steward their lives well.   Understanding creates clarity. Clarity creates movement. Movement creates transformation.     Next steps: Join the Full Capacity Activation + Launch Event: https://julianapage.info/fullcapacity   Step into Courage Co.

Market Logic Software sits at the intersection of market intelligence and enterprise AI — helping companies like Procter & Gamble and Unilever move from gut-feel decision-making to insights-driven operations. When Dirk Wolf stepped in as CEO five years ago, the business had impressive logos but a fundamental scaling problem: every customer had been co-built with, deeply customized, and operationally entangled. High retention masked an unsustainable model. In this episode of BUILDERS, Dirk breaks down how he restructured the GTM motion, made the deliberate choice to walk away from revenue that couldn't repeat, launched an AI product in Q2 2023 before most companies had a roadmap, and is now repositioning Market Logic as an agentic intelligence hub embedded inside enterprise infrastructure.Topics Discussed:The co-development trap: why deep enterprise relationships can become a scaling ceilingMaking the call to cut a government ARR contract to protect repeatabilityImplementing SaaS KPIs and customer segmentation from scratch inside an existing businessHow the marketing motion evolved — from executive roundtables to measured digital channelsBuilding a productive marketing-CFO relationship through outcomes and milestonesLaunching an AI product in Q2 2023 and tracking enterprise sentiment shift in real timeWhy the downstream ICP experiment failed and how they course-corrected fastThe vision for Market Logic as a proactive agentic system inside enterprise tech stacksGTM Lessons For B2B Founders:The co-development trap is a silent growth killer. Market Logic had strong retention and marquee customers — but had co-built so many bespoke solutions that the business couldn't replicate itself. No repeatable sales motion. No scalable delivery. When Dirk came in, he recognized that what looked like customer success was actually a ceiling. If your top accounts each required their own version of your product, you don't have a business yet — you have a services firm with SaaS ambitions. The fix starts with ruthless product scope decisions before you touch GTM.Cutting revenue is sometimes the GTM move. Dirk walked away from a US government contract — real ARR, on-prem, fully customized, no path to replication. The decision wasn't financial modeling, it was strategic clarity: you cannot build a repeatable motion while simultaneously maintaining one-off revenue that pulls engineering, CS, and leadership attention in a different direction. Most founders know this intellectually. Few actually do it. The willingness to let that revenue walk is what creates the conditions for scale.Segment by growth potential, not by decibel level. One of Dirk's first structural changes was introducing proper SaaS KPIs and customer segmentation — because without them, resources defaulted to whoever was loudest. That's almost always the smallest, most difficult accounts, not the ones with the most strategic upside. The discipline isn't just about where sales focuses. It cascades into product prioritization, CS allocation, and where leadership time actually goes.

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames launches a brand new series called Chicago Builders, highlighting the entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders shaping Chicago and the South Suburbs. While many conversations about business focus on building large online audiences, Michelle shares why some of the most powerful opportunities come from local ecosystems and meaningful relationships. She breaks down how local visibility can lead to partnerships, speaking opportunities, and business growth, and shares a personal story about her husband being named Citizen of the Year for his impact in their community. If you've ever felt pressure to build a massive following to be successful, this episode will shift how you think about visibility and remind you that the right community can open doors you never expected. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why local ecosystems can create powerful business opportunities• How visibility grows through community and relationships• The difference between global reach and meaningful impact• Why being known in your own community matters• How entrepreneurs can build influence without millions of followers Visibility Breakdown Michelle explains how local ecosystems create opportunities through conversations, partnerships, and shared networks. Instead of relying only on social media growth, many entrepreneurs become known through events, community involvement, and relationships with other local builders. Room Story Michelle shares a personal story about her husband being named Citizen of the Year in their community, highlighting how consistent involvement, leadership, and service can lead to recognition and influence. This example shows how visibility often comes from showing up and contributing to your community over time. Unpopular Visibility Truth You don't need a global audience to build a powerful business. Sometimes the most valuable visibility comes from being known by the right people in the right rooms.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how buyers find information online and how builders position their websites to stay visible. Greg Bray, president of Blue Tangerine, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how AI is reshaping search engine optimization (SEO), website content and digital marketing strategies for home builders. As AI-powered search tools become more widely used, the way people discover information online is evolving rapidly. Builders now need website content that balances compelling storytelling with clear, structured information. How AI Is Changing the Rules of Search Traditional SEO strategies focused on optimizing entire webpages around specific keywords. AI-driven search tools now analyze content at a deeper level. “We're learning that the way AI tools are using the content on your website has moved down a layer,” Bray said. “The paragraph level or the section level on the page is where they're looking for the data and the answers.” This shift is affecting how brands measure online visibility, and many companies have seen website traffic decline as AI tools become more prevalent. Why SEO Still Matters Although some marketers worry AI could replace traditional search engines, SEO remains essential for digital visibility. AI tools still rely on search engines, but approach queries differently. Instead of a single search, they generate a “query fan out”—multiple related searches that provide broader context and more detailed answers. Websites must contain straightforward, accessible information that AI systems can interpret and connect to buyer questions. Structure and Clarity Matter for AI Visibility Website structure is increasingly important as search evolves. AI systems prioritize clarity and organization, making well-structured content easier to interpret. Short sections, targeted headings and concise explanations help both AI tools and human readers quickly find relevant information. “Clarity wins over clever,” Bray said. “Being very explicit about the idea and breaking those ideas up using section headers makes it easier for AI tools to interpret your content.” Utilizing FAQs to Help AI Understand Content Frequently asked questions (FAQs) are an effective way to structure website content for AI visibility. This format encourages clear questions and concise answers that address common buyer concerns. FAQ sections should focus on information rather than marketing language. Bray recommends making the first sentence of each answer a direct response to the question, followed by two to three sentences providing additional context. The Role of Public Relations for Home Builders Beyond website content, third-party signals—such as media coverage and industry mentions—are increasingly valuable for AI search systems. These external signals reinforce credibility and show that a company is active and trustworthy. “It's not just looking at the results from your website,” Bray said. “It's also looking at how you show up in other places, including social media, videos and PR coverage.” How Builders Can Start Adapting for AI Search Builders can start small when improving digital visibility. Pick a single page and imagine walking a buyer through it. Structure the content as clear questions and answers, so AI tools and visitors alike can quickly find the information they're looking for. Tune in to the full episode to discover how builders can adapt their websites for the future of online search and AI visibility. To learn more about Blue Tangerine, visit https://BlueTangerine.com/.

Nauta is building the data infrastructure layer for global supply chain, starting with mid-market shippers who manage 600+ suppliers across 40+ countries but lack a single source of truth. Co-founded by Valentina Jordan, who spent six and a half years at Rappi, Nauta targets the $200M-$2B revenue segment where companies face enterprise-level complexity without enterprise resources. In this episode of BUILDERS, Valentina shares how Nauta moved from Excel automation to building data pipes that connect 12-13 stakeholders touching a single product—and why they refuse to run POCs.Topics Discussed:Why shippers with ERP, TMS, and WMS systems still run operations in ExcelThe tribal knowledge crisis: 20-30 year operators retiring with undocumented institutional knowledgeNauta's no-POC policy and why it requires contract exit clauses insteadThe cost reduction vs. revenue generation framework that escapes pilot purgatoryBuilding familiar interfaces (Excel-like tables) over novel UX for conservative industriesThe shift from hiding AI capabilities (January 2025) to leading with them (eight months later)GTM Lessons For B2B Founders:Distinguish symptoms from root cause pain in discovery: Most enterprise buyers surface symptoms, not problems. A client reporting penalty costs isn't revealing the root issue—just downstream impact. Valentina uses the five whys methodology to drill into actual pain: "A client can tell me, hey, I'm paying X amount of dollars in penalties. That's not necessarily the root cause, it's just a symptom of the actual pain." This prevents building features that address surface-level complaints while missing the structural problem. The real issue might be data fragmentation across systems, lack of visibility into supplier performance, or decision-making bottlenecks—each requiring different solutions.Structure POC alternatives that demand mutual commitment: Nauta kills traditional POCs entirely because "it implies that they are testing us and that it's not a collaborative process." Instead, they offer contract exit clauses if expectations aren't met while requiring upfront commitment. This only works when you have proven results and can confidently deliver value. The insight: POCs create evaluator-vendor dynamics where the burden of proof sits entirely on you. Paid engagements with performance-based exits create partner dynamics where both parties invest in success. For early-stage companies without case studies, this won't work—but once you have repeatable results, test this approach.Layer revenue generation on top of cost reduction: Nauta starts every engagement with 3-4 cost reduction KPIs—penalties, reconciliation time, manual labor automation—then transitions to revenue generation through fill rate optimization and cash-on-cash improvements. "You need to go beyond just cutting costs. That way you transition from a nice to have to a must have." Supply chain has historically been viewed as a cost center; proving top-line impact changes budget conversations entirely. This matters because cost reduction has a ceiling (you can only cut so much), while revenue generation creates expanding budget headroom. Map your product capabilities to both from day one.//Sponsors:Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.ioThe Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co//Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

C8 Health is solving a problem that costs hospitals billions: the implementation gap between medical knowledge and actual clinical practice. Despite hospitals investing heavily in clinical trials, licensing platforms like UpToDate and OpenEvidence, and creating comprehensive policies and guidelines, this knowledge remains siloed across 20+ disconnected systems per department. Operating across over 100 hospital systems including most top-40 US healthcare networks, C8 Health has become the standard platform for academic anesthesiology departments by making best-practice knowledge instantly accessible at the point of care. In a recent episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Galia Rosen Schwarz, Co-Founder and CEO of C8 Health, to learn how the company evolved from a Geneva University Hospitals research project during COVID to building a land-and-expand motion that penetrates notoriously difficult enterprise healthcare logos through focused department-level entry.Topics DiscussedWhy hospitals struggle to operationalize best practices despite massive knowledge investmentsThe department-first penetration strategy that unlocked top-40 healthcare system logosHow high product engagement converted two non-paying pilots into 20+ qualified pipeline opportunities at a single conferenceMisalignment between founder value assumptions and actual buyer languageWhy 2-4 monthly micro-conferences outperform major industry events for qualified pipeline generationMeasuring everything: tracking conversion from leads through MQLs, SQLs, opportunities to closed dealsGTM Lessons For B2B FoundersUse department-level entry to crack enterprise healthcare logos: With only $90K in friends-and-family funding, C8 Health chose department deals over enterprise-wide deployments. This wasn't just about deal size—it was strategic penetration of logos that typically require 18-24 month sales cycles. Single departments provided faster procurement, immediate user feedback for product iteration, and internal advocates who later championed enterprise expansion. The land-and-expand data became their enterprise selling asset: C8-level executives see real usage metrics, clinician testimonials, and measured outcomes (reduced surgical site infections, shortened length of stay) from their own system before enterprise conversations begin. B2B founders facing long enterprise cycles should map department-level entry points that demonstrate ROI quickly while preserving expansion paths.Extract buyer language systematically—they sell differently than you think: C8 Health positioned around clinician benefits: easy knowledge access, time savings, and empowerment. Their champions sold it completely differently to peers: "administrative burden reduction" and "peace of mind that staff consistently follow our chosen best practices across every indication." This wasn't end-user value—it was management value that department heads actually budget for. Galia's insight: you must measure and message separately for buyers versus end users. B2B founders should implement structured win/loss interviews and case study processes specifically to capture verbatim buyer language, then test whether your current messaging actually resonates with how champions sell you internally.//Sponsors:Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.ioThe Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co//Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I HireSenior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Who Builds the Plan Matters When strategic plans fail to achieve lift-off, it's usually because the process that was used to create them was flawed. I recently had a conversation about this with board and strategy expert Dr. Renee Rubin Ross, author of Inclusive Strategic Planning for Nonprofits, and it pushed me to think more deeply about something I see over and over again. Inclusion isn't a value statement. It's a design decision. And it's not optional if you want a great strategy that actually gets executed. The Real Problem Isn't the Plan Let's ask the real question. When a strategic plan stalls out, what's actually broken? Not because people are bad. Not because staff lack commitment. Not because boards don't care. It's usually because the people who are expected to carry out the work weren't meaningfully included in building the vision. Renee said something in our conversation that I think is the heart of it: "Who is involved in building the vision and building the goals really matters." Without the right people in the room, motivation drops. When motivation drops, capacity drops. When capacity drops, implementation stalls. It's not a personality problem. It's a systems problem. And, systems create behavior. Deciders, Builders, and Sharers One of the most useful frameworks Renee shared is her concentric circle model: Deciders – the group ultimately responsible for final decisions Builders – the group that helps create the vision and goals Sharers – stakeholders who provide input and perspective This framing adds clarity. Inclusion does not mean 40 people wordsmithing a sentence. It means being intentional about who participates at each stage AND making that visible. More detail doesn't equal more clarity. Clarity comes from defining roles. And when people understand their role in the process, something powerful happens. They lean in. Process Builds Motivation One of my favorite moments in our conversation was when we talked about why inclusive planning increases energy. Renee said: "If you feel like, wow, someone consulted me on this, I got to weigh in, so I feel more motivated." That's the mechanism. Motivation is not a personality trait. It's a byproduct of meaningful participation. When someone is handed a finished plan, they feel managed. When someone helps build the plan, they feel responsible. That shift alone can change your return per dollar invested in strategic planning. Because here's the truth: You don't need to convince people. Let the process do the convincing! Tell the Story of How You Decided This is the biggest mistake I see. Leaders announce decisions. They rarely explain the process behind the decision. But boards, staff, and stakeholders are not evaluating the decision itself. They're evaluating whether the decision-making process was any good. When people understand: What information was gathered Who was consulted What trade-offs were considered How capacity was evaluated They relax. Even if they disagree with the final outcome. Confidence in process builds trust in results. Three-Year Vision: Bold, Not Delusional I loved Renee's approach to visioning. Not 10 years. Not 20 years. Three years. Enough time to be meaningful. Short enough to be real. Her guided question during retreats: It's three years from now and you're celebrating. What are you celebrating? That question does something subtle but powerful. It moves people from anxiety to ownership. Nonprofit leaders often operate at capacity. Sometimes beyond it. If you ask, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" You'll get exhaustion. If you ask, "What are we celebrating three years from now?" You'll get direction. Skin in the Game I often think about the idea of skin in the game. The people who experience the consequences of decisions make better decisions. When staff who will execute the plan help build it, they bring constraints, creativity, and operational reality into the room. When new team members sit next to veterans in a facilitated discussion, something happens: Experience meets fresh eyes Caution meets creativity History meets possibility That's how alignment forms. And alignment unlocks capacity. Final Thought Inclusion is not consensus. Inclusion is clarity about participation. When people are clear on their role in shaping the future, motivation rises. When motivation rises, execution improves. When execution improves, opportunity expands. And that's why who builds the plan matters.

Two start-ups a couple of years apart became the inspiration for each other to get better and better and better. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom-and-Pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us. But we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the … Wait, what? Gosh, you told me the title, and I have some thoughts, and I forgot the name of the podcast there for a second. Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Stephen Semple: We’re doing two together here, Dave, Firestone and Goodyear. Dave Young: Stephen Semple’s over there. I’m Dave Young. And this morning we’re talking about Goodyear and Firestone, both? Stephen Semple: Yes, together. Dave Young: Because it’s kind of one thing now, right? Stephen Semple: No, they are separate. Dave Young: Was it? Stephen Semple: They’re separate. Dave Young: No, they’re separate. Stephen Semple: The story is so intertwined between the two of them. I couldn’t figure out a way to break it. But it’s almost kind of like when we did Hertz Avis, like they’re so interlinked. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So we’re doing it as a single podcast, the two of them. Dave Young: All right. Where do we start? Stephen Semple: Well, what’s interesting is they were both started within two years of each other, both in Akron, Ohio. So Goodyear was founded on August 28th, 1898 in Akron, Ohio by Frank Seiberling. And today they’re the third-largest tire maker in the world with about 18 billion in sales. And Firestone was founded in August, two years later by Harvey Firestone in Akron, Ohio. And in 1988, Firestone was purchased by Bridgestone for $2.6 billion. Dave Young: That’s the one. That’s the one I was [inaudible 00:02:51] yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and Bridgestone today is number two behind Michelin with Goodyear being number three. So both really, really big, really big companies. Dave Young: And in 18 when? Stephen Semple: So 1898 was Goodyear, and 1900 was Firestone. Dave Young: And this is before, this is before mass production of automobiles. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Because if you go back to Episode 35 where we talk about Ford, 1908 is the Model T. So it’s pre-model T. Dave Young: Yeah. So which came first, the tire or the car? Stephen Semple: Well, because there were tires on carriages. Dave Young: No, that’s true. All right. Stephen Semple: And today Michelin is the largest in the world. So if you want to learn about Michelin, go back to Episode 27, because it’s also really interesting how Michelin grew their business. But so we’re dealing with Goodyear and Firestone. Dave Young: All right. So Goodyear- Stephen Semple: And if you think about it, you’re right. Most of the transportation at this time when these companies started were either horse-and-carriage or bicycles. That’s what basically people were using. And Harvey Firestone, he grew up on a farm and went to a business school and was a carriage salesman in Detroit. And at this time, the use of natural rubber is expanding due to vulcanization being created. Because before vulcanization, natural rubber was not very durable. It would crack and all these other things. And carriage wheels were basically a wood wheel with a metal rim around it, no give, a hard ride. Dave Young: Right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, even a rim made of rubber would be better than a rim made of steel. Stephen Semple: Right. So basically he’s a carriage salesman. What he realizes is that what we should do is we should put rubber, instead of steel around the wheel, and that would make a smoother ride. So he leaves Detroit, moves to Akron, Ohio, because Akron, Ohio at the time is the center of the rubber industry. Dave Young: Okay. Why is that? Stephen Semple: I think it had to do with just the fact there was a couple of companies that sprung up in the area. There was the resources in terms of water and a few things along that lines. Dave Young: And the rubber barons came in [inaudible 00:04:56]. Stephen Semple: But there was a lot of that that was happening with … Look, you see it in technology. A couple of companies happen and then … Dave Young: Yeah, there’s this- Stephen Semple: It attracts the talent, it attracts the people, it attracts the investment. Dave Young: There’s this synergy that happens. It was before the word existed. Stephen Semple: Yeah, basically. So he creates and starts selling a wagon wheel that has a solid rubber tire. And so he’s doing these solid tires, and he starts seeing the market shifting to a pneumatic tire. So a tire with a tube in it. Dave Young: With the air inside it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he’s also starting to see car sales increasing so he decides to do that. Because even though it’s a niche, he’s seeing it as growing, and he didn’t really get great traction on the wagon tire. But the first pneumatic auto tire is this thing called a Clincher. The tire is attached to the rim by these metal hooks, but these metal hooks can kind of become a bit of a problem. They can tear the tire, things along that lines. So he decides to make, Firestone decides to make a superior car tire, and he creates this new rim and tire system that’s basically better than the Clincher tire. But the problem, at this point, is the rim is part of the car. Basically, it’s hard to change all that. So who’s willing to- Dave Young: Every car has a different one and … Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. So what he does is, is he approaches Henry Ford because he hears the Model T is coming out, and Firestone undercuts the Clincher to get a foothold in the industry. He says, “Look, I’m just going to come in with a really cheap price. That’s how I’m going to get into there.” And he gets an order for 2,000 units, $110,000 order, and he’s basically betting everything on the ability to deliver on this order. Okay? Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, enter Goodyear, a little bit of Goodyear history. So I mentioned Goodyear was founded by Frank Seiberling, and Frank had tried several businesses with no success, but he saw the rubber industry as an area for growth. Younger brother joins, and they need a name, and what the inventor of vulcanized rubber was Charles Goodyear. So they decided to call the tire company Goodyear after Charles Goodyear. Dave Young: Just associate yourself with that. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Now- Dave Young: Did Charles, was he in on it, or did they just named it after? Stephen Semple: They just named it Goodyear. Dave Young: Okay. You can do that, huh? Stephen Semple: I guess. They were able to. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So they’re buried in debt, things aren’t going so great, but what they wanted to do is the big growth around this time was bicycles. So they create a vision to create a new type of tire for the bicycle, because it’s a huge craze at the turn of the century, turn of a couple of centuries ago. So there’s like 300 manufacturers of bicycles in the United States, including the Wright Brothers. Dave Young: Right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: But again, they were solid tires. And what these guys created was a pneumatic tire, what Goodyear has created was a pneumatic tire for bicycles because it’s way more comfortable than a solid tire, right? Dave Young: Way more comfortable. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So they’re all in and this has to work, but here’s the problem. Bicycle sales stop because, essentially, everyone who wants one has one. So bicycle sales kind of collapsed. And so they’re struggling here, and what they decide to do is they look at the auto business, and they go, “Hey, the auto business is going over there, and we could create a better tire than a Clincher.” Dave Young: Yeah. [inaudible 00:08:24] Stephen Semple: Great. And so who do they decide to approach? They decide to approach Henry Ford because they hear about this Model T coming out. But Ford has already done a deal with Firestone, right? But Goodyear says, “We got an advantage. Here’s the problem. Their tire, the Goodyear tire, Clincher tires will also work on a Goodyear rim. Clincher tires will not work on a Firestone rim.” And here’s what Goodyear says to Ford, says, “You got a problem. Because if somebody needs a new tire, not everywhere had access to Firestone tires, but everybody has access to Clincher tires. So, therefore, our solution is better.” So basically, Ford cancels the deal with Firestone and goes with Goodyear. Dave Young: Oh, no. Stephen Semple: And basically says to Firestone, “I need you to make Clincher tires, which has almost no money in it for Firestone because they got to pay a licensing deal with Clincher. Isn’t it interesting in all of this, Clincher clearly didn’t innovate because we’ve never heard of Clincher before this moment? Dave Young: Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, terrible name, but- Stephen Semple: Clearly didn’t innovate. Dave Young: Right, didn’t figure out that we don’t need these metal things. Stephen Semple: Because they’re clearly the leader at the time, and we don’t hear them any longer. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. So they had a lead in the market, but … Stephen Semple: So 1908 comes out, the Model T comes out. It’s Goodyear tires on the Model T, Episode 35, go back and learn about the Model T, and Goodyear takes out ads that Goodyear tire is better. By 1909, all GM cars are Goodyear tires. By 1910, Goodyear is doing like four million in sales, which is like 30 million today. Firestone is not done. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So back to Firestone, they see these Goodyear ads, and they figure we’ve got to get a competitive advantage over Goodyear. We’re going to go back to 1908, go back a couple years. The auto industry, tire industry is exploding. The streets are getting clogged with cars, lots of dust, no rules, chaos, and tires are completely smooth. There’s no tread. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. That’s … Stephen Semple: And they’ve been all sorts of thing people are putting rivets in, metal, all this other stuff to try to create some sort of traction on these tires, right? Especially as the speed of the cars are getting faster. And what Firestone did, they did a lot of research to make traction. And what they discover is let’s do raised sections. Let’s put treads on the tire. Dave Young: Right. Okay. Well, I mean, there you go. Stephen Semple: Works way better. And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid- Dave Young: Stay tuned, and we’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid, and they put that as the pattern on the tread. So if you look down onto a muddy road, what you would read is Firestone Non-skid. Isn’t that awesome? Dave Young: That’s so smart. I love that. Stephen Semple: So basically the ad is on the ground. They sell- Dave Young: Yeah, because it’s written in the mud. It’s written in the snow. Stephen Semple: It’s written in the mud, written in the snow, written on the ground, right? So they sell like 40,000 units in the first year. And now Goodyear starts to feel the pressure from Firestone on the non-skid tire. So they’re like, okay, what are we going to do here? So what Goodyear comes out with is a diamond pattern because it actually has better grip than letters. And at the same time, it’s still unique because they’re the only ones that have a diamond pattern. And they market it as, and I thought this … You know how we always love this whole idea of attaching the familiar to the unfamiliar? They market it as the first all-weather tire. Dave Young: All weather. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Goodyear then, who was ahead of Firestone with this tire, and at this time, all the tire manufacturers are targeting the manufacturers. They’re trying to get in with the manufacturers. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s 1910. Firestone’s doing three million in sales compared to Goodyear’s four million. But what about consumers and replacement? What would make their lives better? This is the question Firestone starts to ask because it was really hard to change the tire at that time because early tires were attached to the rim, and the rims were permanently attached to the axle. So you couldn’t just remove the wheel and replace it with another wheel. What Firestone creates is a rim called a demountable rim. It’s this novel idea that you could just take the rim off. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That’s great. Stephen Semple: And risk of tire failure was high. So guess what this created? The whole idea of a spare, and now anyone can change a tire- Dave Young: Nice, yeah. Stephen Semple: … because you’ve got an extra tire. You could just take the rim off, put the new rim on, and you’re all good to go. And this gets so popular that car companies are now creating ways to carry a spare, a rim and a pump, because now anyone can change tire by themselves. By the end of the decade, all Model Ts have a spare. And guess what? Imitators, including Goodyear, jump onto this idea. It’s 1916. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Firestone’s selling $44 million. Goodyear is 100 million and now the largest company in the world. So Firestone is still trailing Goodyear. World War I happens. April 1917, this huge mobilization campaign happens. Goodyear and Firestone have to pivot to wartime production. Firestone’s doing rubber boots and all these other things. Goodyear has been pulled into this top secret plan. They’re going to create an aircraft called a blimp. Dave Young: The blimp? Ooh, okay. Stephen Semple: And you know what’s funny? I always wondered, why does Goodyear have a blimp? Because Goodyear was involved in the crating of the blimp. Isn’t that cool? Dave Young: Right. Yeah, that’s good to know. Stephen Semple: So they’re both making lots of money. The blimp is the Goodyear blimp. We now still see it at football games and all this other stuff, right? And Goodyear’s expanding like crazy because of the war effort, and November 11th, 1918, the war suddenly ends. The war ending in World War I hurt a lot of businesses like Indian motorcycles, Goodyear, because what a lot of people don’t realize, unless you look back into history, that the war ended really abruptly. So much so that even the Allies, if you go back and read the history about World War I, we’re unsure whether to accept the surrender of Germany. No battle in World War I happened on German soil. It all happened in France. And how World War I ended is Germany basically did this one final assault where they threw everything at it and was basically it didn’t work, and they surrendered. And everyone was like, “What do you mean the war’s over?” But the problem is Goodyear thought the war was going to continue for a while longer and had a lot of debt and had done lots of expansion and were in serious trouble. In 1921, Goodyear had 85 million in debt. And so they had to bring in somebody to help refinance the business and part of the refinancing included Frank and his brother being removed from running the business. So in May 13th, 1921, they both resigned, the businesses gone to others. Firestone, they still remain involved with the business. By the 1920s, cars are going faster, and Firestone does one more really big innovation. And that’s the balloon tire, which is a wider, bigger tire, flatter tire, lower pressure, smoother ride. Six months, they sell 25,000 tires a week, and that’s really the precursor to the modern tire. Dave Young: The radial-type tire. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. That’s really cool. Yeah, war does weird things. I mean, in addition to blowing things up. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it does weird things. But the thing is, when I looked at Firestone and Goodyear, to me, what was really interesting was there’s no way you could kind of talk about one without the other because it really is a story of innovation, innovation, innovation. Dave Young: It really is a case of your competition makes you better, right? Because it went back and forth with both of them. Stephen Semple: It did go back and forth with both of them. Dave Young: Right? And the one that lost out was Clinker because they thought they didn’t need to innovate. Stephen Semple: Right. Right. They were the one that’s been lost to history as these two … Because they had, they were the market leader, and then these two coming along out-innovating each other, totally, like I had never even heard of them as a tire company. Lost to history. Dave Young: Me, neither. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Clincher. Dave Young: Clincher. It sounds medical. It’s such a cool story. I have one experience with Goodyear to tell you about. Stephen Semple: Sure. Dave Young: Back 2020 or so. Gosh, has it been that long? Really has. 20 years ago or so, I was in the motor press guild, automotive journalist, and auto manufacturers and tire manufacturers would take journalists on these trips, these junkets. And I got to go on one for Goodyear. They flew us down to Dallas and then flew us out to San Angelo on Mark Cuban’s 757. San Angelo, Texas is where the Goodyear proving ground is. So they have one of these big 10-acre, five-acre lakes that’s only a quarter of an inch deep or half in it. They can control it. It’s just a giant bed of asphalt that they can control the depth of the water. So we got to drive … We probably compared Goodyear to Firestone tires. Stephen Semple: Probably. Dave Young: You drive this pickup on a slalom course on the water with the new Goodyear tire, and then drive it with the competitor’s tire. It’s like, oh boy, the difference. But it was a fun trip. I also got to drive that same day out on the Goodyear proving grounds. They had one of those mining haul trucks. Stephen Semple: Oh, wow. Yep. Dave Young: Right. The three-story tall mining haul truck, and I got to drive that thing. Stephen Semple: I was going to say, did you get to do a 180 on it? Did you get it to do a 360? Dave Young: No, they didn’t let us drive that out onto the wet track, but that was fun. I mean, there’s a big tire. I think at the time, that tire weighed 20,000 pounds and cost $20,000. That’s what I remember about it. Stephen Semple: And it’s interesting when you think about tires because tread pattern and rubber compound and things like that are all the things that really impact performance. And yet the world’s largest manufacturer of tires became famous with an ad where they put a baby in the tire along with the slogan, So Much Rides on Your Tires, right? Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: But coming back to one of the ones I love with the whole Firestone thing was putting the name in the tread pattern. I thought that was just … Dave Young: Yeah, I think it’s great. It’s really smart and innovative from an advertising point of view, but as Goodyear proved, easy to knock down. It’s like, well, obviously a proper tread pattern- Stephen Semple: Is better? Dave Young: … is better than the word Firestone for keeping your car on the road. But- Stephen Semple: But again, it was so interesting because Firestone then, or sorry, Goodyear then even recognized by the diamond pattern, they still became unique because they were the first one with the diamond pattern. So it was this very interesting back and forth between these two companies. Dave Young: They were like the cartoon, the sheepdog and the coyote. They’d clock in and fight all day, and then clock out. And I would guess that the Goodyear and the Firestone, there were probably people going back and forth between one company and the other. They probably had the top secret. We hate each other, but the investors, whole different story. Stephen Semple: Well, it was funny. There was one thing I read about where basically if you were in the Firestone offices or foundry or whatever, you were not allowed to say the word Goodyear. And when you were in the Goodyear one, you were not allowed to say the word Firestone. Like it would’ve really been a massive rivalry when you consider the two companies, like how remarkable is this that two companies found within two years of each other, like almost exactly two years of each other in the same city- Dave Young: And then live in the same city. Stephen Semple: … went on to become number two and number three in the tire business. The one that became number one- Dave Young: Kellogg’s and Post. Stephen Semple: … was across the pond in Europe, right? Completely separated from this battle. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for this tiring story. Stephen Semple: You had to go there, didn’t you? Dave Young: Oh, gosh, I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. I did do it. I’m looking forward to the next episode of the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Thank you. Stephen Semple: Okay. Thanks, David.

Hail has officially surpassed hurricanes and wildfires as the costliest natural disaster in the U.S. over the last 25 years—a shift that became visible three years ago and created a massive market opportunity. Wesley Pergament recognized this trend early and built Sola Insurance around it, transforming how homeowners protect their properties by eliminating the subjective claims process that's plagued the industry. After closing their Series A, Sola has cracked the code on hail insurance: using parametric weather data triggers to reduce claim resolution from months to days, cutting fraud that was driving $15,000-$20,000 deductibles, and building a 100% referral-driven distribution engine through independent insurance agencies. In this episode of BUILDERS, Wesley reveals how they pivoted from tornado to hail coverage in month two, why they've run zero outbound for 18 months while scaling exponentially, and how they're rebuilding policy forms and modeling from scratch to become the go-to natural disaster insurance provider.Topics Discussed: The data signals that showed hail crossing over as the #1 costliest natural disaster Rebuilding insurance policy forms and modeling around objective weather data vs. indemnity claims How wind and hail deductibles exploded from $1,000 to $15,000-$20,000, effectively excluding roof coverage Why independent agencies are multi-generational businesses where reputation is everything The mechanics of building a pure referral engine that eliminated all outbound for 18 months Creating complementary coverage that's becoming fundamental infrastructure in home insurance packages Using hail diameter, storm duration, and damage indicators to create parametric triggers The strategic sequencing of sales-first, then product, now marketing investments post-Series A Why addressing the fraud problem first unlocked both pricing and claims experience advantagesGTM Lessons For B2B Founders:Invest disproportionately in first-call onboarding when entering regulated channelsUse regional conference immersion for channel insight, not lead generationDesign systematic referral prompts at trust milestonesSequence GTM investment around validated constraint-breaking, not best practicesRebuild the broken process structurally, don't optimize it incrementally// Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.ioThe Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co//Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Podero builds software that enables European utilities to trade device flexibility—EVs, heat pumps, and batteries—on energy markets, generating trading revenues while reducing consumer bills by 20-30%. The company navigates a uniquely complex B2B motion: they must sell utilities, secure API access from device OEMs, and ensure utilities successfully roll out consumer-facing products—all simultaneously. In this episode of BUILDERS, Chris Bernkopf, Co-Founder and CEO of Podero, breaks down how they escaped pilot purgatory with innovation departments, built a "10x better than doing nothing" business case that reaches commercial stakeholders, and why their 2026 strategy centers on radical simplification through deletion.Topics DiscussedOrigin story: from Raspberry Pi heat pump experiment to YC-backed utility infrastructure softwareThe "three miracle problem" go-to-market challenge and how they de-risked all three dimensions in parallelSales cycle mechanics: 6-12 month closes, avoiding innovation department traps, and multi-stakeholder orchestrationMarket structure: 2,000 addressable utilities in Europe, 120 customers required for unicorn trajectoryChannel strategy evolution: cold outreach to re-engagement focus in a contained prospect universe2026 GTM thesis: simplifying value propositions by deleting products and messagingHow YC learnings posted on bathroom doors maintain organizational disciplineThe grid capacity fork in the road: expensive scarcity vs. cheap abundant renewable energy

So, there are dire wolves living on Earth again. They were “de-extincted” by Colossal Biosciences. And today on the show their Chief Science Officer joins me to share her view on why the de-extinction matters — not as a science project, but because it will help solve problems that threaten every species on earth, including us. Beth Shapiro is the Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, and she helped to bring back the dire wolf or, as others call it, a gray wolf with 20 genetic edits. There is a fierce debate about what de-extinction even means, and we discuss that, but whatever you call them, there are now three big wolves living in an undisclosed location and they wouldn't be there if not for the DNA that Beth and her team edited. Colossal is also working to bring back the wooly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger, the dodo and other animals that have long been extinct.

The life of King Solomon was truly extraordinary.  Gifted with outstanding wisdom, King Solomon's wisdom blessed Israel with outstanding abundance.  And even though everything in his life was not worthy of imitation, the Bible is careful to record that he used his gifts to build the temple of God.  This might surprise us.  Why would God want his leader to dedicate himself to building a temple?  It's a question that opens us to a deeper understanding of our own leadership today.

In this episode, step inside Deir el-Medina, the remarkably well-preserved village of the artisans who built the royal tombs of ancient Egypt. Known in antiquity as Pa Demi or “the village”, this desert settlement near Thebes (modern Luxor) was home to the skilled workers of the Set Maat, the “Place of Truth,” where pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, Nefertari, and Hatshepsut were laid to rest. Through tomb art, legal documents, and everyday texts, Deir el-Medina offers one of the most intimate portraits of non-elite life in ancient Egypt. Explore the lives of three individuals whose stories survive in astonishing detail. Meet Ramose, the wealthiest man in the village, whose decorated tombs and appeals to fertility goddesses reveal private hopes for an heir. Follow his adopted successor, Qenherkhepeshef, a prolific scribe whose tomb preserved the famous “Book of Dreams,” a guide to omens written in red and black ink. Finally, Naunakhte, whose surviving will shows that women in the New Kingdom owned property and controlled how it was inherited. Offline Sources Cited: Blerk, Nicolaas J. 2021.
