The best founders know that great products don't win on their own. Investor, entrepreneur, and longtime business journalist Darren Rovell joins Taste Radio to share the lessons he's learned backing breakout brands like Athletic Brewing, PopUp Bagels and Biena Snacks, building his own company, Kickstand Cocktails, and evaluating hundreds of startups every year.  He explains what separates investable founders from the rest, why adaptability beats stubbornness, and how emerging brands can carve out an advantage – even in the most competitive categories. Show notes: 0:20: Darren Rovell, Founder, Kickstand Cocktails & Tastemaker Capital  – Darren offers his perspective on the widespread adoption of testosterone therapy and GLP-1 drugs before diving into the investment philosophy behind Tastemaker Capital, explaining why he favors backing exceptional founders and differentiated products over rigid venture capital playbooks. He reflects on successful investments like Athletic Brewing and the consumer insights that led him to recognize the potential of non-alcoholic beer years before it entered the mainstream. Darren also discusses lessons learned from missed opportunities and the collapse of Foxtrot Market, emphasizing the importance of founder communication, adaptability, and conviction. He then shares his journey as the founder of Kickstand Cocktails, a premium line of spicy craft vodka sodas inspired by a disappointing bar experience, detailing how the brand has evolved through continuous iteration while staying true to its core promise of balanced, approachable spice. Along the way, he candidly discusses the challenges of building an alcohol brand within the three-tier distribution system, why supermarket distribution has been central to Kickstand's growth, and how he evaluates startups today—arguing that product quality and founder adaptability matter more than branding, while warning that AI-generated pitch decks make it harder than ever to separate substance from polish. Brands in this episode: Biena, BODYARMOR, Athletic Brewing, Saint Pauli Girl, O'Doul's, Guinness, Fisher Island Lemonade, Kickstand Cocktails, Cutwater Spirits, High Noon, Long Drink, On The Rocks, Surfside, Spikeade, Super Lyte, Gatorade, Powerade, Coca-Cola, PopUp Bagels

Netflix feels remarkably simple. Open the app. Find something to watch. Press play. But creating that experience is anything but simple. On this episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Elizabeth Stone, Netflix's Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer, to explore how one of the world's most iconic consumer products continues to evolve while staying remarkably intuitive. Netflix is no longer just movies and TV. It's live events, games, podcasts, mobile experiences, and AI-powered personalization. Elizabeth shares how Netflix is expanding into entirely new forms of entertainment—without making the product feel more complicated for its members. Before joining Netflix, Elizabeth built products across healthcare, transportation, and finance. That unique perspective shapes how she thinks about product strategy, organizational design, and solving complex problems at scale. In this episode, Tomer and Elizabeth discuss: How Netflix balances world-class content with world-class product and technology Why expanding from one product to many is one of the hardest challenges in product management How Netflix introduces new experiences without overwhelming its members Why content teams and product teams shouldn't operate the same way—and how Netflix bridges the gap How Netflix measures value across movies, games, live events, and podcasts Why AI raises the bar for product quality, taste, and judgment The future of entertainment: more personalized, immersive, and interactive experiences Whether you're building consumer products, leading cross-functional teams, or thinking about the future of AI and entertainment, this conversation offers a rare look inside the product philosophy behind one of the world's most influential technology companies.

Can losing your father, losing the business you built in his honour and taking a job you never expected become the foundation for your biggest opportunity?Danny Gray is an entrepreneur, commercial strategist, former Commercial Partnerships Director within Steven Bartlett's business ecosystem and co-founder of LVLS, a wellness brand launched into 750 Boots stores from day one. After losing his father to Parkinson's disease, Danny became driven to build businesses that improve people's health, going on to launch an award-winning functional nutrition restaurant before joining Steven Bartlett's early team, helping build the commercial engine around The Diary Of A CEO. Through his Venture Capital fund building, he has now co-created Hide, stocked in 1,000 Tesco stores, and launched LVLS alongside Beta Squad's Sharky, brokering a deal to get the product into 750 Boots stores from day one. In this episode, Danny explains how Levels secured major retail distribution before launch, reduced its funding requirements through smart payment terms, built authentic creator partnerships and set out to make wellness more fun and accessible for everyday people. Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@buildingthebrandofficial Join the Building The Brand newsletter: https://buildingthebrand.co.uk/newsletterKey Moments: 0:00 — Losing His Dad Two Weeks After Launch1:21 — Danny Gray: Entrepreneur and Levels Co-Founder2:14 — How Money, Shame and Family Created His Drive6:53 — His Father's Battle With Parkinson's Disease10:58 — Opening a Restaurant Before Losing His Father15:05 — Creating a Functional Medicine Restaurant18:54 — Building One of London's Breakout Restaurants20:09 — Manifestation as Tactical Business Planning23:38 — The Final Phone Call From His Father27:00 — Sleeping in the Restaurant to Pay Staff30:09 — Why Founders Cannot Outwork Grief34:41 — Scaling Into Google, Chelsea FC and Retail39:22 — Pivoting From Restaurants to Healthy Ready Meals42:45 — Joining Steven Bartlett With Three Bullet Points45:39 — Commercialising The Diary Of A CEO48:40 — Leaving Steven Bartlett to Become a Founder51:33 — Why Taking a Job Is Not a Step Backwards55:58 — Launching Hide Into 1,000 Tesco Stores57:46 — Athlete Equity Deals and Business Ownership1:01:01 — Identifying the Mainstream Wellness Opportunity1:03:46 — Launching Levels Into 750 Boots Stores1:05:34 — Retail First vs Direct-to-Consumer Strategy1:07:24 — How to Structure a Mutually Valuable Deal1:09:40 — Partnering With Sharky From Beta Squad1:11:33 — Why Creator Equity Beats Celebrity Endorsements1:18:32 — Why the Wellness Industry Is Too Serious1:21:25 — Building a Wellness Brand for Everyday People1:23:18 — Entering the Crowded Electrolyte Market1:28:20 — Building a Business to Make His Son Proud1:31:15 — Funding a 750-Store Retail Launch1:32:19 — Negotiating Payment Terms to Protect Cash Flow1:34:16 — Taking Risks and Building Without Regret

Some builders don't just create breakthrough products. They create entirely new ways of thinking about how innovation happens. In this episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Astro Teller, Co-founder and Captain of Moonshots at X, Google's legendary moonshot factory. Astro has helped build one of the world's most remarkable innovation engines—an organization responsible for projects like Waymo, Google Brain, Wing, Taara, Google Glass, Loon, and many more. But this conversation isn't just about ambitious technology. It's about building a system that makes ambitious technology more likely. At X, innovation isn't treated as inspiration or creative genius. It's treated as a discipline. Teams are rewarded for disproving their own ideas, attacking the hardest assumptions first, and learning faster than everyone else. Success isn't measured by how long a project survives—but by how quickly you discover whether it deserves to. In this episode, Tomer and Astro discuss: Why X calls itself a "moonshot factory"—and what it takes to build innovation as a repeatable system Why the goal isn't to prove your ideas right—but to discover when they're wrong Why 10x thinking can actually be easier than incremental improvement The famous "teach the monkey before you build the pedestal" framework for attacking risk in the right order Lessons from Waymo, Google Brain, Taara, Google Glass, and Loon—and why some of X's biggest "failures" produced its greatest insights How culture, incentives, and organizational design determine whether breakthrough ideas survive If you've ever wondered why some organizations consistently produce world-changing products while others struggle to innovate, this conversation offers one of the clearest frameworks you'll hear. It's a masterclass on building not just products—but the systems that build products.

In Episode 104, Pete sits down with Juan, founder of Bet Hero, the value betting platform recently reviewed and recommended in SBC Magazine 164.Juan explains how his journey into betting began not through gambling, but by identifying inefficiencies in other markets. From building software to profit from sneaker releases, GPUs and collectibles, his background in computer science and automation naturally led him into arbitrage and eventually value betting.The discussion explores the difference between arbitrage and value betting, why expected value is the foundation of long term success, and how Bet Hero evolved from a simple Discord alert bot into a platform covering more than 400 sportsbooks worldwide.Pete and Juan analyse SBC's review of 16,488 bets producing a 4.06% ROI, explaining why ROI alone can be misleading, the importance of closing line value, and how successful users maximise returns through volume, discipline and focusing on EV rather than short term results.Finally, Juan discusses Bet Hero's unique pricing model using multiple sharp sources, alongside Kelly staking, middle betting, and the ongoing battle to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated bookmakers.SBC members can also access an exclusive 20% discount on Bet Hero plans, saving up to €215 when joining before the end of June 2026.

The moment I understood how sportsbooks set odds and bake in a margin, everything changed.”“In the long run, value betting is more profitable (than arbitrage) because you don't need to hedge and sacrifice some of the profit.”On mindset and handling variance“If you start getting anxious about short term performance, it's going to play you mentally.”“I don't even check how the games are doing anymore. I place as many bets as I can and look at the results later.”“The top users only care about expected value. It doesn't matter if the bet has a 1% chance of winning or a 70% chance of winning. As long as it's positive expected value, that's all that matters.”On building Bet Hero“In the beginning, my idea was to build it for myself to take advantage of my local sportsbooks.”“There was no website, no dashboard. It was just a Discord bot sending me alerts when a value bet was found.”“Once I saw the product was working for me and for my friends, I decided to make it public.”On the reality of value betting returns“Even if you're getting a 1% ROI, it's daily. It compounds very quickly.”“I find there is a misconception when people compare betting ROI to the stock market. It's like comparing apples to oranges.”On finding the best betting opportunities“We usually recommend users start with over 3% expected value because you have a safe margin.”“Beginners care too much about winning probability. They filter out a big chunk of volume where value exists.”“There is no sportsbook that is the sharpest at everything.”On the future of betting markets“Prediction markets provide valuable data because you can see where the money is flowing and in what magnitude.”"This is a constant battle. The sportsbooks get better with time and we also get better.”“We continue improving the software every day.”

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science this week, our expert, Professor Allan Blackman, chats with us about taking too many vitamins, bees, and AI failing psychological tests. For our weekly catchup with the National Party, Host Alex spoke with MP Ryan Hamilton about the US threat of further tariffs on New Zealand, our relationship with the US, and changes to local government committees to limit the impact of unelected members. Producer Liam spoke to a range of people, including Chris Casey of the Cachet foundation, about the current deteriorating state of the former Carrington Hospital in Mt Albert, also known as Building One, and efforts to see it restored and repurposed.  And Alex also spoke with Rachel Mackintosh, National Secretary of E Tū, about where the 2026 Budget leaves struggling care and support workers in Aotearoa.

The Carrington Hospital, also known as Building One, was built in 1867 and stands as a monument to Victorian era healthcare in New Zealand. Until 2018, this category 1 heritage building was part of Unitec's Mt Albert Campus, but was sold to the government as part of the Carrington Residential Development - Te Kukūnga Waka. The goal was to build 4,000 new homes in collaboration with Ockham Residential and various iwi. However, concerns have been raised by locals about the degrading state of Building One as well as whether local infrastructure will be able to cope with intensification. I spoke to a range of individuals who want to see the building preserved, and attended some of their protests. This Carrington Building One movement is also active on Facebook and Instagram.  Among the people I spoke to were Chris Casey, Chair of the Cachet Foundation, Helen White, MP for Mt Albert, Gareth Hughes, operator of the Waterview Coffee Project, Allan Matson, President of the Civic Trust as well as a high school student from Mt Albert. I also reached out to the owner's Ockham Residential and Marutūāhu, as well as Auckland Council and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, for comment.

What happens when AI enters a world where being wrong isn't an inconvenience — it's a liability? In this episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Gabe Pereyra, co-founder of Harvey, to explore what it actually takes to build AI for one of the most complex and high-stakes industries in the world: legal. Harvey works with leading law firms and enterprises to draft, analyze, and reason through complex legal work — contracts, filings, cases, and internal workflows where precision, accountability, and trust are non-negotiable. On paper, legal is a perfect domain for AI.It's language-heavy. Logic-heavy. High value. In reality, it's one of the hardest. Every word matters.Every output has consequences.And “almost right” doesn't count. In this conversation, Tomer and Gabe discuss: Why the hardest problem in AI today isn't intelligence — it's coordination What makes vertical AI companies like Harvey durable as foundation models improve Why legal systems must be auditable, permissioned, and accountable How conflicts and data isolation create unique infrastructure challenges in legal AI Why the future of work may look less like individuals using tools — and more like teams of humans and AI agents working together And why the next bottleneck in AI may not be generation — but human review and trust Gabe also shares his journey from aspiring professional soccer player to finance, AI research, and eventually co-founding Harvey — along with the contrarian thinking that led him to bet early on the future of AI. This episode is about what it takes to move AI from impressive demos into real-world systems — where the stakes are high, trust is fragile, and the tolerance for error is near zero.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as AI becomes more embedded in our daily lives, one of the biggest questions we face is whether these systems can responsibly support emotional and psychological well-being.AI chatbots are increasingly being used for emotional support, but recent lawsuits faced by OpenAI and earlier ones targeting character.ai and Google's AI Overviews, as well as clinical reports, and internal research have raised valid concerns about their impact on vulnerable users.What does it take to build an AI system specifically designed for mental health from the ground up? Is that even possible?In this LIVE episode of The Neuron Podcast, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey speak with Daniel Reid Cahn, co-founder and CEO of Slingshot AI, about Ash, an AI application purpose-built for therapeutic support. Slingshot has raised $93M from a16z, Radical Ventures, and others to develop a foundation model for psychology trained on structured therapeutic conversations across modalities such as CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy.We discuss the limitations of general-purpose chatbots in mental health contexts, recent controversies surrounding AI and psychiatric risk, and what differentiates a system designed to provide structured therapeutic engagement compared to one being used in a way it was never intended to be. The conversation also explores a broader question: Can AI meaningfully expand access to high-quality mental health care, and where should clear boundaries remain? Or should we keep our counseling where we always have, on a couch with a box of Kleenex and a hug nearby?

https://teachhoops.com/ One of the most pervasive myths in sports is that "leaders are born, not made." Coaches often spend the off-season hoping a "natural leader" walks through the gym doors, but leadership is a skill set—not a personality trait. Just as you wouldn't expect a freshman to master the Shuffle offense without thousands of reps, you cannot expect a player to command a huddle without a specific developmental roadmap. Developing a leader is about moving from "commanding" to "empowering." You are looking for the player who can become the "CEO on the floor," translating your vision into the language of their peers. Many programs are moving away from the traditional "Single Captain" model in favor of a Leadership Council. When you name one captain, the rest of the team often takes a mental "day off" from leading, assuming it's not their job. A council (usually 3–5 players) distributes the weight. It allows you to develop different types of leadership: the Vocal Driver who pushes the pace, the Quiet Connector who manages the bench's energy, and the Tactical Strategist who ensures everyone is in their spots. This structure prevents the "Coach's Pet" stigma and creates a broader culture of accountability. A leader's value isn't found when things are going well; it's found in the three seconds after a turnover. We spend hours on shooting form, but how much time do we spend on "Body Language Training"? To develop a leader, you must teach them how to "respond, not react." The "Next Play" Reset: Train your leaders to be the first ones to high-five a teammate who just missed a layup. The Echo Principle: A leader should "echo" every one of your calls. If you yell "Gap!", they should repeat it across the floor. This reinforces your authority while giving them a vocal presence. Leadership development must be embedded in your practice plan, not just discussed in a pre-season meeting. The 5-Minute Debrief: At the end of every practice, have your leaders lead a 5-minute huddle. Ask them: "What was the standard today, and did we meet it?" Rotating Warm-ups: Give a different player the responsibility of leading the dynamic warm-up each week. This builds comfort with their "vocal muscles" in a low-stakes environment. The "Truth Room" Delegate: In film sessions, let a player lead the first 10 minutes of the breakdown. When they have to "call out" their peers on film, they develop the thick skin required for championship-level leadership. Coach's Note: "You can't delegate leadership if you don't first demonstrate it. Your players will lead exactly the way you lead them. If you want them to be 'Transformational' leaders, you have to stop being a 'Transactional' coach."

Dell's CTO built a 4-category agent framework from real production deployments. Most enterprises are ignoring two of the categories that matter most.Full Show NotesEnterprise leaders are mapping AI agents to org charts — building digital employees, agentic teams, AI workers — and then wondering why the results fall short. Dell's Global CTO John Roese has been running agents in production long enough to know exactly why that framing fails, and what to do instead.In this episode, Roese shares a framework Dell developed from actual production deployments, not pilots. It identifies four categories of AI agents defined by two dimensions: how much autonomy you grant the agent, and how complex the underlying process is. Most enterprises are focused on one category. Two of the four are widely overlooked — and they may represent the fastest path to measurable ROI.This is a practical, grounded conversation about where agents are actually delivering value today, how to think about infrastructure cost in the context of agent economics, and why the sequence in which you deploy agents matters as much as which agents you build. If your organization is trying to move from AI experimentation to production, this episode is required listening.3.

A kid gets asked to “play a scale” by one of the greatest cellists who ever lived and has no idea what a scale is. That moment could have ended in embarrassment and retreat, but for Ole Akahoshi it became the beginning of a lifelong education in craft, taste, and what it really means to make the cello sing.The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, sits down with Ole Akahoshi, cellist and faculty at the Yale School of Music and Manhattan School of Music Prep Division, to trace his path from a music-filled childhood in Germany to studying with Pierre Fournier in Geneva. Ole shares what Fournier was like in lessons, what got written into his parts, and why those markings still matter. We also talk about the voice behind tone production, how phrasing and “good taste” shape interpretation, and why some technical ideas only click years later.From there, we shift into Ole's teaching world at Yale, including how the undergraduate studio fits into Yale's unique setup, and what he listens for when a student is chasing speed and flash. Ole lays out practical fundamentals like breathing, balance, and tension and release, plus a teaching philosophy built around curiosity and better questions. We also get his honest take on competitions, judging, confidence, and a pair of career-defining prompts he asks every freshman: who are you, and what do you want?If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe, share it with a cellist or teacher, and leave a review so more musicians can find the show.

Every builder's journey is non-linear. What looks like a straight path in hindsight is often shaped by setbacks, pivots, and unexpected opportunities along the way. In this episode of Building One, host Tomer Cohen sits down with Guy Raz — creator and host of How I Built This — to explore what he's learned from interviewing hundreds of founders, and from building his own media company. Before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in podcasting, Guy was a journalist and foreign correspondent — covering wars, filing stories on deadline, and learning how to operate with urgency and resourcefulness. That experience shaped his approach to building: prioritize progress over perfection, and improve through repetition. In this conversation, Tomer and Guy discuss: The patterns Guy has seen after interviewing thousands of founders Why relationships — not intelligence — are often the deciding factor in success The craft behind great storytelling — and what it takes to earn a listener's time How a career setback became the turning point that led him into podcasting Why the “safe” path can sometimes be the riskiest decision Guy also shares how he thinks about value creation — and why the best builders aim to create an experience where the user feels they received more than they gave. This episode is about craft, resilience, and the human side of building. Because in the end, the goal isn't just to build products. It's to build belief.

With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you're not alone._____________________Find all our links to all the things like the socials, how to work with us and how to apply to be on the podcast here:https://linktr.ee/unforgetyourself

In the last video, you figured out what to build.Now comes the part where most people blow it.They spend four hours building a website. They design a logo. They set up an Instagram account and tell all their friends. They feel like entrepreneurs.But… they haven't talked to a single customer… or made a single dollar.Building a website is cosplay. A logo is cosplay. A business plan is cosplay. A business has customers. A business has revenue. Everything else is just really satisfying procrastination.In this video I'm going to show you the trap that catches almost every entrepreneur (and how to avoid it), why you should be charging people before you even build the thing, the Lean Startup principle that made me a millionaire multiple times over, and how to reverse-engineer a $1M business all the way down to what you need to do this week,.Building it is only 10% of the game. But you can't skip it. Let's get into it.

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit. → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://FundraisingMasterminds.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/discovery-callFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:→ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/fundraising.masterminds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/fundraising.masterminds⁠⁠⁠Episode Keywords:

Nikola Mrkšić is the Co-Founder and CEO of PolyAI, one of the world's leading voice AI companies, helping enterprises automate customer service through conversational AI at massive scale.Before PolyAI, Nikola was a machine learning researcher and part of the team behind Siri. In this episode, he joins James to unpack what the world is only now starting to understand about voice AI, why most automation still misses the point, and how PolyAI has built a full stack enterprise product that goes far beyond simply reducing call queues.They discuss how PolyAI is used by major brands across hospitality, utilities, retail, banking and insurance, and why the real opportunity is not just handling calls, but turning the contact centre into an intelligence layer for the whole business. Nikola also explains why enterprise voice AI is harder than it looks, where the moat really sits, and why owning the models and the application layer matters.The conversation covers Siri, Gordon Ramsay, pricing power, Nvidia, enterprise stickiness, and what it takes to build a category leader from Europe.Topics include:Why Siri was too early for the vision it was aiming atWhy PolyAI focused on the step between clunky IVR and true AI assistantsHow voice AI can improve revenue, customer experience and operational insightWhy enterprise deployments become hard to rip outThe difference between real voice AI companies and wrappersWhether voice AI is becoming commoditisedHow PolyAI thinks about pricing, margins and defensibilityWhy Nikola believes many “AI companies” are borrowing from the futureGordon Ramsay as a customer and brand partnerNikola's future unicorn pick: Paid.ai

This week we made our way through twenty rolls of ‘Word a Day' toilet paper – not (entirely) because of tummy trouble, but in order to impress one of the world's greatest wielders of words, copywriting legend Tim Delaney. An advertiser who made all of advertising try harder with their adverts, Tim is of course the founder of the famous Leagas Delaney agency as well as being one of the all-time great copywriters.  You'll no doubt have spent much time gawping at and/or weeping over some of his most iconic work – including some extraordinary campaigns for Harrods, Adidas and Nationwide. He's also the creative brain behind the unforgettable ‘Perfect Day' film for the BBC – giving the world the briefest sniff of what a Bowie/Boyzone collaboration might have been. Wildly successful in both the building of an agency and the writing of copy, Tim is also one of advertising's most compelling talkers of sense – with a philosophy built around strategic thinking, disciplined work and a healthy appreciation for the value of intuition. In a chat where we skid quickly and wildly away from what we laughably called ‘the agenda', Tim takes us on an entertaining and eye-opening journey through one of the most remarkable lives in the creativity game.   This episode is proudly dedicated to Tom Harrington.

You might not have heard of Ben Parker, but you've almost definitely heard of Runna — the incredible running app that just sold to Strava for millions For me, this one's probably my biggest regret but also one of my biggest lessons. A few years ago, a young entrepreneur came up to me after an event to tell me about his business. It sounded brilliant, but honestly… I couldn't see it: “Why would a running app take off?” I thought. Well, that business was Runna, the app that's now one of the biggest fitness apps in the world. And that young entrepreneur was Ben Parker. Missing the chance to invest in Ben's vision taught me a powerful lesson: always look for the opportunity in someone else's passion.Fast-forward four years and Ben's built — and sold — a business that most would call “impossible.” But behind that success is a story of sacrifice, pressure, and what ambition really costs. In today's episode, Ben opens up like never before about the realities of building something extraordinary — the highs, the lows, and the lessons he's learned along the way.We cover:How to turn your purpose into a thriving businessThe personal sacrifices behind successWhat makes a truly great founderHow to build a culture that winsWhat it really takes to make it to the topAs much as I'm still a little gutted I didn't invest, I'm blown away by what Ben's achieved — and I can't wait to see what's next for him.This is one of those rare, raw conversations you don't want to miss.And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: boysdontcry.co.uk If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- @greatcompanypodcastTikTok - @greatcompanypodcast And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITS Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Producer: Helen BurkeEditor: Dan KingAssistant Producer: Rhoda Abrokwa Video: Jake Ji & Josh BennettAudio: Rafi Amsili Social Media: Laura Coughlan & Anthony Barter - Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textVikram R Singh takes us on a journey from his unexpected entrepreneurial beginnings to building Antier, a blockchain powerhouse with 700+ team members that has weathered multiple market cycles through unwavering vision and purpose.What draws someone to blockchain beyond the hype? For Vikram, it was the revelation that this technology could create trust and accountability within systems themselves, reducing intermediaries and putting control back in people's hands. This vision guided Antier through three bear markets while maintaining impressive growth, proving that sustainable success comes from solving real problems rather than chasing trends.Vikram shares powerful insights about India's position as a Web3 talent hub, needing only regulatory clarity and better storytelling to claim its place as the global Web3 capital. His perspective on the relationship between blockchain and AI is particularly enlightening—"Blockchain is trust, AI is intelligence"—positioning these technologies as complementary forces rather than competitors in our digital future.For founders and marketers, Vikram offers practical wisdom: focus on the problem you're solving, not your technology, ensure your narrative answers "why now, why you, and why should I care" and remember that people don't adopt technology, they adopt stories that reflect their needs. His Co-Pilot Program demonstrates how partnerships built on equal risk/reward and aligned energies can accelerate innovation in the Web3 space.Perhaps most surprising is Vikram's revelation about what truly transformed his business after years of perfecting delivery, sales, and management: it was marketing that ultimately enabled exponential growth. This lesson holds particular value during market downturns, when maintaining visibility can position companies for success when conditions improve.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on July 7, 2025.

Hey lady! It's strange times filled with a lot of uncertainty but one thing we know for sure is that we will get through all of this with strong community. This week Dr. Dom and Terri discuss some of the factors that got us to reckon with the fact that there is an uprising of people reporting feelings of loneliness and being alone. While those are natural feelings from time to time you can mitigate them long-term with a strong diverse community. We're not talking about people you can post on Instagram, although that can be a part of it, we're talking about the relationships that you intentionally cultivate that fit perfectly with your life.

Join something you genuinely love Real talk: The easiest way to find aligned people is to go where your joy lives.  2. Reconnect with someone from your past  Real talk: Some of the most beautiful friendships are waiting for a simple “hey, I miss you.”  3. Try something new—even if it feels awkward  Real talk: The most aligned people are often waiting just outside your comfort zone.  4. Start something small—but intentional  Real talk: Community doesn't have to be a big production. Start where you are.  5. Be the person who reaches out first Real talk: Waiting on someone to invite you might mean missing out on the connection you need.  6. Build connection into your rhythm  Real talk: If you want community, you have to make room for it.  7. Don't underestimate the power of one  Real talk: You don't need a huge friend group. You need one aligned connection to start your community.  Quote of the Day:"Community is much more than belonging to something.
