Podcasts about business models

In today's episode we talk to Mark Roberts, founder of Off Wall Street, a legendary provider of short selling research to hedge funds. Seven months before Enron became the biggest bankruptcy in US corporate history, Off Wall Street published a report recommending the shares be sold. The success of this call made Mark and Off Wall Street synonymous with original and rigorous research. We talk to Mark about his unusual personal background, how being a hippie in Berkeley in the 1960s prepared him for identifying overvalued companies two decades later. He explains why questionable accounting and high valuations are the “symptoms, not the disease” and compares today's markets with those of the Dotcom era. His new book, Off Wall Street How To Win At Short Selling By Betting Against The Crowd was just released in February 2026.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Mark on LinkedIn and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 01:41 - Introducing Mark Roberts, Off Wall Street, Enron, and the book03:35 - An unconventional path: French literature, skepticism, and early life choices07:40 - The first “short sale”: selling a failing steel business and learning risk firsthand11:10...

Prefabrication has moved beyond proof of concept. In this kickoff episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt explores what it really means to enter the execution era of prefab. The debate is no longer about whether prefabrication or modular construction works. It's about scale, repeatability, and partnership. From data centers driving massive MEP prefabrication growth to owners rethinking procurement and risk models, the industry is shifting from experimentation to operational maturity. In this episode, we unpack: Why data centers are accelerating prefab adoption How scale changes the economics of modular construction What true construction partnership actually looks like Why culture and contracts may be the next barriers to innovation If you care about prefabrication, offsite construction, BIM-to-fabrication workflows, or the future of construction innovation, this conversation sets the tone for what comes next. The execution era has begun. MEET OUR GUEST Amy Marks is a leading voice in prefabrication and industrialized construction, with more than a decade of experience advancing offsite construction, modular strategies, and large-scale MEP prefabrication. She has played a significant role in helping owners, contractors, and manufacturers move beyond transactional project delivery and toward scalable, repeatable partnership models. Her work has been especially influential in mission-critical sectors such as data centers, where standardization and scale are reshaping how projects are delivered. Amy focuses not only on components and assemblies, but also on the culture, procurement models, contracts, and executive alignment required to make prefabrication successful at scale.   Todd Takes Prefabrication Has Entered the Execution Era For years, the industry focused on proving that prefabrication works. That debate is over. Prefab works. Modular construction works. Offsite strategies work. The real question now is whether we can execute consistently and at scale. Can we repeat results across projects? Can we move from isolated success stories to operational maturity? The future of prefabrication is no longer about experimentation. It is about discipline, ecosystem alignment, and getting better with every project. Prefab is no longer experimental. It is professional. Partnership Is a Business Model, Not a Buzzword The construction industry talks about partnership often, especially in prefabrication and modular construction. But there is a difference between transactional vendors and true partners. If five companies are bidding every project, that is procurement. It is not partnership. Real partnership involves shared risk, shared reward, executive-level communication, transparency when challenges arise, and a long-term commitment to scale together. In data center construction and other high-volume sectors, partnership is becoming structural, not optional. When both sides are fully invested, prefabrication scales. Scale Changes Everything Scale is the unlock for industrialized construction. When companies move beyond living project to project, they gain the breathing room to invest in systems, standardization, workforce development, and repeatable prefab workflows. Data centers are currently driving that scale, especially across MEP prefabrication and modular assemblies. The lessons being learned in data center construction today will influence healthcare, semiconductor, commercial, and even housing in the years ahead. Scale creates maturity. Maturity creates repeatability. Repeatability drives the future of prefabrication.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let you hear Atlanta Braves Manager Walt Weiss talk about how he addresses the injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep with his other starting pitchers, react to what the Braves skipper had to say, let you hear former MLB General Manager and now MLB analyst and broadcaster Jim Bowden explain why he would give Ronald Acuña Jr. a 10-year $500 million-dollar contract right now and not wait for him to possibly have another MVP season this year, and explain why they think the Braves must go against their business model to keep Ronald Acuña Jr. if necessary.

Este episodio destila The Business Model Navigator en una idea potente: innovar es recombinar. Tras analizar miles de casos, sus autores condensan 55 patrones que explican el 90% de los nuevos modelos. Empieza por el cliente y su “trabajo por hacer”, elige solo 2 o 3 patrones (suscripción + servitización, plataforma + freemium) y testea rápido precios, canales e incentivos antes de enamorarte del PowerPoint. A veces cambiar cómo cobras vale más que cambiar el producto.Verás cómo decisiones como agrupar o desagrupar, orquestar alianzas y construir plataformas pueden transformar márgenes y crecimiento. De Rolls-Royce y Hilti a IKEA, Nespresso, Netflix o Airbnb, los ejemplos prueban que copiar bien es una forma honesta de innovar y que el coraje interno es tan clave como la idea. Al final, te cuento la frase que más me marcó y que puede reprogramar cómo piensas tu modelo de negocio.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/grandes-aprendizajes--5720587/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeLibro "Libertad Financiera" Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/libertadMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.comThis content is under Fair Use: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act in 1976; Allowance is made for "Fair Use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----In this episode, I'm joined by Jaime Sevilla, founder of Epoch AI; Hannah Petrovic from my team at Exponential View; and financial journalist Matt Robinson from AI Street. Together we investigate a fundamental question: do the economics of AI companies actually work? We analysed OpenAI's financials from public data to examine whether their revenues can sustain the staggering R&D costs of frontier models. The findings reveal a picture far more precarious than many assume; we also explore where the real infrastructure bottlenecks lie, why compute demand will dwarf energy constraints, and what the rise of long-running agentic workloads means for the entire industry. Read the study here: https://www.exponentialview.co/p/inside-openais-unit-economics-epoch-exponentialviewWe covered: (00:00) Do the economics of frontier AI actually work? (02:48) Piecing together OpenAI's finances from public data (05:24) GPT-5's "rapidly depreciating asset" problem (13:25) Why OpenAI is flirting with ads (17:31) If you were Sam Altman, what would you do differently? (22:54) Energy vs. GPUs; where the real infrastructure bottleneck lies (29:15) What surging compute demand actually looks like (33:12) The most surprising finding from the research (38:02) The race to avoid commoditization (43:35) Agents that outlive their models  Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem  Where to find Jamie: https://epoch.ai or https://epochai.substack.com Where to find Matt: https://www.ai-street.co  Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.

Most therapists and supervisors do not struggle because they care too much. They struggle because helping quietly becomes the business model. In this episode, Jennifer Marie Fairchild and I unpack why overfunctioning, loose boundaries, and undercharging slowly erode authority, ethics, and sustainability in both counseling practices and supervision.We talk about what we see every day in supervision contracts and group practice growth, how good intentions create real risk when demand is not assessed, and why resentment is often a signal that the structure is broken, not the therapist. This conversation is about naming the gap between wanting to help and actually building something that can last.In this episode, we cover:Why helping is not a business model, and how overfunctioning shows up in supervision and practice ownershipWhat supervision contracts reveal about boundaries, liability, and readiness to growHow expanding without demand harms associates, supervisors, and group practicesWhat ethical support actually requires when supervising associates or growing a businessIf you feel resentful, stretched thin, or quietly overwhelmed, hear this clearly: it is not a personal failure. It is usually a structure problem. Sustainable practices require clarity, limits, and systems that match the mission. if this conversation brings up questions about fees, policies, or where your practice might be leaking money, we've got a free resource for you that you can download: Stop Working For Free: The Therapist Fee Reset.And if this episode raised questions about supervision contracts, ethical growth, or how to build something sustainable without burning out, you do not have to sort that out on your own. Those are exactly the conversations we have inside the  Step It Up Membership, where we slow things down, get specific, and build practices that can actually support your life.Get your step by step guide to private practice.

Ellen breaks down how to identify your audience's pain point, adjust your messaging so it connects, and create a free offer that attracts the right people. From there, she explains why email marketing is still one of the most important relationship-building tools for entrepreneurs.You'll also hear a great systems-based lesson about documenting processes and building SOPs so your business can run smoothly, even when help changes.Free resource from Ellen: “10 Techniques for Better Results from Your Emails: More Engagement, Opens, and Clicks” (an email course with tools and templates)Support the show

Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity and Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship on February 5th as we welcome Lew Frankfort, former CEO and Chairman Emeritus of Coach, to Baruch College. Frankfort will reflect on his remarkable professional journey, from his early career in New York City government to leading Coach for nearly three decades and transforming it from a six million dollar leather goods business into a five billion dollar global lifestyle brand. The fireside chat, moderated by Marlene Leekang, Executive Director of the Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship, will draw from Frankfort's memoir Bag Man, which chronicles how Coach pioneered the concept of accessible luxury and redefined an industry through relentless focus on the customer, bold strategic choices, and a willingness to challenge convention. Frankfort also explores the personal side of leadership, including how fear of failure can fuel success while demanding a personal toll. The fireside chat will be followed by a live question and answer session, offering students a unique opportunity to engage directly with one of the most respected business leaders of his generation.

Akram Boutros — Founder and CEO of Nexus Bedside.Akram brings more than 30 years of experience as a healthcare leader, executive, and clinician. He previously served as CEO of The MetroHealth System in Cleveland from 2013 to 2022, where he led a team of more than 6,000 employees and 3,500 medical staff, overseeing a nearly billion-dollar revenue operation and the complete transformation of the MetroHealth campus and care model.

If you're an expert who feels maxed out - but also resistant to the idea of “stepping away” from your work to scale - this episode explains why.Most traditional business models were never designed for experts. They were built for operators: models that assume growth means removing yourself from delivery, building large teams, and distancing yourself from the work you actually love.In this episode, Tara kicks off a new year of The Scalable Expert Podcast by breaking down why that advice creates burnout for experts - and why trying to force yourself into a traditional model often makes scaling feel heavier instead of freeing.You'll hear why hiring around yourself rarely creates true leverage, the identity conflict experts face when they're told to “work on the business instead of in it,” and how the Scalable Expert model offers a different path forward - one that allows you to grow impact and income without sacrificing your time, attention, or zone of genius.This episode sets the foundation for the entire season and reframes what it really means to scale as an expert.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to the Scalable Expert Podcast & season overview00:45 – Why this season focuses on the journey from maxed-out expert to Scalable Expert02:04 – The traditional business model (and who it was actually built for)03:10 – Why experts struggle when they try to scale like operators03:57 – The identity tension: loving your expertise vs. owning a business04:36 – Hiring around yourself and why it doesn't create real scale05:25 – The moment experts realize they're still the bottleneck06:22 – Tara's personal experience stepping back - and what changed07:01 – Introducing the Scalable Expert business model07:56 – How leverage replaces time and attention in expert-led businesses08:29 – What this season will unpack for maxed-out experts08:51 – Take the Scalable Expert Quiz & what it reveals about your business

In this episode, Bryan McCann joins Henrik and Jeremy to explore how search is evolving from simple queries into more conversational and agent-driven systems, and why prompting is likely a temporary skill. Bryan shares how his definition of productivity changed as an AI researcher, moving away from doing the work himself and toward designing plans and experiments that machines could run continuously.The conversation expands to leadership and organizational design. Bryan explains why helping others learn how to work with AI became his highest-leverage activity, and offers a simple rule of thumb: try to get AI to do the task first, and treat anything it can't do as an interesting research problem. Henrik and Jeremy connect this to Bryan's view that organizations may increasingly resemble neural networks, with information flowing more freely and decisions less tied to rigid hierarchies.Key Takeaways:Productivity can be measured by machine output, not human effortBryan explains how “keeping the GPUs full” became his primary measure of productivity.Prompting is useful, but likely temporaryThe episode discusses why future systems may rely less on explicit prompts and more on inferred context.Try AI first, then learn from what it can't doTasks AI struggles with can reveal meaningful research opportunities.Leadership is about scaling othersBryan shares how his focus shifted from scaling himself to helping his team increase impact.Organizations may benefit from neural-network-like designBetter information flow and fewer bottlenecks can improve decision-making.YOU: You.comBryan's website: bryanmccann.orgLinkedIn: linkedin/company/youdotcom/00:00 Intro: Keeping the GPUs Full00:22 Meet Bryan McCann: CTO & co-founder of You.com00:43 Why Search Is Breaking - and Why It Becomes a Skill01:41 From Search to Agents03:18 The Case for Proactive, Context-Aware AI04:30 We Don't Need New Hardware - We Need Trust05:43 The Trust Problem of Always-On Listening07:57 Trust as the Real Bottleneck (Not AI Capability)09:52 Delivering Immediate Value to Earn Trust12:13 Business Models and Escaping the Attention Economy17:27 What “Agents” Really Mean - and Why the Term Will Fade20:37 Productivity, Parkinson's Law, and Keeping the Machines Running23:52 Scaling Yourself vs. Scaling Your Team29:57 Building Culture: Automate, Throw Away, Rebuild35:46 Designing Organizations Like Neural Networks45:02 Recruiting for Initiative in an AI-Native Organization49:18 The debrief 

Should construction companies sort out their data before using AI? Or can AI sort it out for them?We put two heavyweights in the ring to fight it out.In one corner: Dustin DeVan, one of the most decorated CEOs in construction tech. Exited Building Connected for $275M. Now running Ediphi. He's seen $400M liens and knows what happens when your data falls apart in litigation.In the other corner: KP Reddy, serial entrepreneur, founder, investor, and the man with 48 career experiences on LinkedIn (yes, we counted). He's backed by the biggest names in AEC and has been building stuff since he was a kid.Dustin says get your house in order first. He's been through a $400M lien. Messy records in court? Not fun.KP disagrees. Projects end, teams move on, data ends up everywhere. That's just how construction works. AI can make sense of the mess.One thing they agreed on — Excel isn't going anywhere.No punches pulled. No fluff.Who won? You decide.

That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: Lead2greatness lead2greatness.com Facebook: Facebook Cedric Francis X: Twitter cedricbfrancis Instagram: Instagram instagram.com/cedricbfrancis LinkedIn: Linkedin linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Dan Hesse talks withAndy Beckstoffer, named “the most powerful grapegrower by Wall Street Journal and the Wine Spectator. Few people have played a more pivotal, pioneering role in Napa Valley's evolution into a world class wine region than Andy Beckstoffer, who owns Beckstoffer Vineyards. Beckstoffer Vineyards includes six Napa “Heritage sites” which consistently produce some of the best wines in the world, being awarded 100 point scores year after year. Perhaps most notably, Andy introduced an innovative and radical new grape pricing structure in 1976, which created a major and lasting shift in how the California wine industry views the importance of wine growers and grape quality. The Wall Street Journal and the Wine Spectator have both named Andy Beckstoffer the “Most Powerful Grapegrower.”  In 1975, at age 35, Andy was a founding Director and the second President of the Napa Valley Grapegrowers Association. He and his wife of 60 years, Betty Beckstoffer, were honored as St. Helena's “Citizens of the Year” and Andy has been named Grower of the Year three times, by three different organizations. He was also named Agriculturalist of the Year twice. In 2007, Andy received the Wine Industry Leadership Award, the first ever United States Congressional Wine Caucus Commendation, and in 2010, he was inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame.   LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

In this episode, I'm joined by Dawn Jett, founder of Spruce Micro, a company I truly love and personally use. Spruce Micro has one of the most compelling business models I've seen, and it solves a very real problem for so many people: stubborn skin concerns like dark spots, large pores, uneven skin tone, and texture issues that just don't respond to one-size-fits-all solutions. Dawn shares why she started Spruce Micro, how the business works, and what makes it so different from traditional skincare clinics. Here's the unique part: Spruce Micro doesn't rely on lasers or chemical peels. Instead, every client receives a fully customized skincare protocol, tailored specifically to their skin, lifestyle, and goals. No generic routines. Everything is done virtually. Clients send in high-quality photos of their skin, Dawn and her team carefully look at your skin concerns, then they create a personalized morning and evening routine you can do entirely from home. And the results? Truly impressive. Dawn has worked with thousands of clients across all skin tones and skin types, helping people achieve results that exceed what they thought was possible. I've personally been working with Dawn for several months now, and I'm beyond pleased with my own results, which is why I asked her to come on the podcast.

Former FBI agent Séamus McElearney, author of Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos, walks through the case that shattered the DeCavalcante crime family. He explains the mob's quiet tax on regular people via unions—no-show jobs, pension skims, and an asbestos local run by guys who couldn't pass the test (so they had someone take it for them).
