The most successful enterprises are about to become autonomous — and Eléonore Crespo, Co-CEO of Pigment, is building the nervous system that makes it possible. In this conversation, Eléonore reveals how her $400 million AI platform is already running supply chains for Coca-Cola, powering finance for the hottest newly public companies like Figma and Klarna, and processing thousands of financial scenarios for Uber and Snowflake faster and more accurately than any human team ever could.Eléonore predicts Excel will outlive most AI companies (but maybe only as a user interface, not a calculation engine) explains why she deliberately chose to build from Paris instead of Silicon Valley, and shares her contrarian take on why the AI revolution will create more CFOs, not fewer.You'll discover why Pigment's three-agent system (Analyst, Modeler, Planner) avoids the hallucination problems plaguing other AI companies, how they achieved human-level accuracy in financial analysis, and the accelerating timeline for fully autonomous enterprise planning that will make your current workforce obsolete.PigmentWebsite - https://www.pigment.comTwitter - https://x.com/gopigmentEléonore CrespoLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/eleonorecrespoFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:22) Building Pigment: 500 Employees, $400M Raised, 60% US Revenue (03:20) From Quantum Physics to Google to Index Ventures (06:56) Why Being a VC Was the Perfect Founder Training Ground (11:35) The Impatience Factor: What Makes Great Founders (13:27) Hiring for AI Fluency in the Modern Enterprise (14:54) Pigment's Internal AI Strategy: Committees and Guardrails (17:30) The Three AI Agents: Analyst, Modeler, and Planner (22:15) Why Three Agents Instead of One: Technical Architecture (24:10) Agent Coordination: How the Supervisor Agent Works (24:46) Real Example: Budget Variance Analysis Across 50 Products (27:15) The Human-in-the-Loop Approach: Recommendations Not Actions (27:36) Solving Hallucination: Why Structured Data Changes Everything (30:08) Behind the Scenes: Verification Agents and Audit Trails (31:57) Beyond Accuracy: Enabling the Impossible at Scale (36:21) Will AI Finally Kill Excel?

When it comes to recognizable icons, few rival Nike's Swoosh, designed by student designer Carolyn Davidson for $35. We unpack her quiet career, late recognition, and lasting influence with guest Sarah Williams, Co-CEO of Beardwood & Co. and President of AIGA NY._______Support this podcast with a small donation: Buy Me A CoffeeThis show is powered by branding and design studio Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasay_______About Carolyn Davidson:We're pulling back the curtain on one of design's most enduring marks: the Nike Swoosh. In 1971, Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson sketched a fluid, wing-like “stripe” directly over a shoe drawing—a fast, simple symbol that Phil Knight didn't love at first but chose under production pressure. She invoiced $35, kept freelancing for the scrappy company as it rebranded from Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike, and later stepped away from the spotlight. Years afterward, Nike surprised her with a gold Swoosh ring and stock—an act of overdue recognition that grew to life-changing value. We trace Davidson's process, her broader early contributions beyond the logo, and how the Swoosh eventually stood alone without the wordmark. About Sarah Williams:Sarah Williams is Co-CEO of Beardwood & Co. and President of AIGA New York. She joined Beardwood early (2006) after starting at Landor and rose to co-owner, leading brand programs for companies like Danone and Colgate while advancing mentorship and access across the NYC design community.Follow Sarah:Instagram: @_sarah_aw_Beardwood & Co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beardwoodco/https://beardwood.com/ ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod
In deze aflevering van Ondernemerspraat hoor je het inspirerende verhaal van Yannick Aerts, Co-CEO en CSR Director bij Fruit At Work. Vers fruit op het werk lijkt vanzelfsprekend vandaag de dag, maar in 2008 was het nog pionierswerk. Yannick vertelt hoe zijn familiebedrijf groeide van één kistje fruit tot meer dan 2200 klanten in België, Nederland en Luxemburg. Je ontdekt hoe ze bedrijven gezonder maken, waarom ze als enige in de sector volledig fairtrade leveren en hoe hun duurzaamheidsverhaal hen zelfs tot SDG-ambassadeur van de Verenigde Naties maakte. We hebben het over ondernemen met familie, duurzaamheid zonder greenwashing, en de impact van fruit op de werkvloer. Waarom zou elk bedrijf moeten investeren in fruit voor medewerkers? Hoe combineer je groei met ethiek? Je hoort het in dit boeiende ondernemersverhaal over smaak, visie en volharding.
How can mentoring lead to a whole new career? How do dinner conversations and AI come together to drive entrepreneurship? How are some people changing the world as they change gears? Talk about REINVENTION! Well, I did. Meet two more honorees of the Folio: awards named to the Hall of Fame, in this "two-fer" episode on Doug Olson and David Adler, both of whom have gone from being presidents of publishing companies to reinventing themselves...and parts of the industry. First up: Doug Olson. Doug went from a career in the tech side to the publishing side, ultimately running Meredith Magazines (think: "Time," "People," "Better Homes & Gardens"...) to NOW hangin' with the digital natives doing bling-meets-social media, as Co-CEO of "Bomb Party," with its TikTok-famous jewelry reveals! Bet you didn't see THAT coming. Creating Partnerships He discusses the evolution of Meredith, its major acquisitions, the partnership he headed with Walmart, and how Meredith navigated its own transition -- adding digital to print media. "Reveals" on TikTok Doug also describes his transition to #BombParty, a thriving and unique jewelry company that uses social media to engage customers. Then there's David Adler. I cannot even keep track of all the ways David has reinvented himself: from launching a magazine on DC society back in the 70s, which he sold 10 years later for a handy profit -- and is now turning those archival images into songs and content! I kid you not. But wait, there's more. He helmed big PR shops, but is perhaps best know for founding one of the best magazines on events, called "BizBash." And now? SO MUCH -- from recently launching an online events mag, "GatheringPoint.news" to yet another startup. gatheringoint.news He highlights how he is an unabashed #AI acolyte and explains how it has revolutionized his latest ventures, supporting creative storytelling and increased efficiency. But David is also stopping to smell "The Roses", making the most of his author father's legacy by helping enable that current box office hit! from "The Roses" Like roses themselves, these guests exemplify the concept of 'perennials,' described by David as individuals who continuously evolve and remain curious, regardless of generational labels. Their stories illustrate the importance of adaptability, lifelong learning, and embracing new technologies in media or just for mental well-being! KEY MOMENTS: 00:00 Meet Doug Olson and David Adler 02:44 Doug Olson: From Tech to Media Mogul to... 05:36 The Better Homes & Gardens / Walmart Omnichannel Strategy 08:03 The Future of Print Publications 11:20 Golfing or Jewelry?

Er will als Co‑CEO mit dir unterwegs sein, in allem, was du tust." Paul SidelnikowUnternehmer & GemeindegründerStell dir vor, du gründest fünf Unternehmen, erzielst stabile zweistellige Millionenumsätze – und trotzdem bleibt deine größte Stärke, dass du Jesus als Co-CEO an deiner Seite hast. In der neuen Folge des Kingdompreneur Podcasts spricht Host Jonathan Dubowy mit Paul Sidelnikow über eine Lebensreise, die von politischen Ambitionen über unternehmerische Höhen und Tiefen bis hin zu echter Glaubensintegration reicht. Paul teilt offen, wie sein Glaube nicht nur sein Mindset, sondern jede geschäftliche Entscheidung prägt – und warum die Kombination aus Business-Exzellenz und gelebtem Glauben echte Transformation ermöglicht.In Paul steckte schon immer ein Unternehmer, aber es brauchte seine Zeit und Stationen in der Politik, im Großkonzern im Mittelstand und eine Arbeitslosigkeit, bis er mit der eCommerce Werkstatt seine erste eigene Firma gründete und entdeckte, "dafür bin ich geschaffen". Nach dem Motto „Geht nicht - gibt`s nicht“ gründete er dann die Boxspringwelt, um der Möbelbranche zu zeigen, dass sich auch hochpreisige und hochindividualisierbare Produkte online verkaufen lassen, wenn man es nur richtig macht. Dieser unternehmerische „Riecher“ führte unterwegs noch zur Gründung weiterer Unternehmen. Doch Pauls wichtigste Entscheidung, war nicht unternehmerischer Natur: Jesus sollte nicht nur Teil seines Lebens sein, sondern aktiv in alle Business-Entscheidungen eingebunden werden. Zentrale Themen der Episode:Warum Jesus als Co‑CEO einen Unterschied im Business machtVon der Politik ins Unternehmertum: Pauls persönliche TransformationsreiseWie Gottes Führung durch geschlossene Türen neue Wege öffnetInnovative Geschäftsmodelle: Boxspringwelt & E-Commerce-ErfolgGlaubensintegration im Alltag und bei schwierigen EntscheidungenUmgang mit Luxus, Wohlstand und sozialer VerantwortungVersöhnung, Demut und die Kraft der GemeinschaftAchtung Podcast-Bonus: Weil Paul es liebt Unternehmern bei der Entfaltung ihres Potentials zu helfen bietet er exklusiv für die Kingdompreneurship Podcast Hörer einen Marketing Check-Up im Wert von 500€ kostenlos an.

Today's episode could save you 20% or more on overhead costs while boosting employee retention by up to 45%. My guest is Alane Boyd, Co-CEO of BiggestGoal.ai and workflow automation expert with nearly two decades in tech. But here's what sets her apart: instead of forcing you into complicated project management tools you'll hate, she works with what you already use and love. Alane's built her philosophy around "retention not replacement" - using automation to free your team for strategic work, not eliminate their jobs. She's a serial entrepreneur, three-time published author, and her tools were voted Best for Remote Work in 2022. In this conversation, we dive into real client examples, including a 70% time reduction in podcast production workflows, why most automation fails, and the one simple automation you can implement this week. Plus, Alane gets refreshingly honest about why being the "hero consultant" doesn't work.

The DCU's next chapter has already arrived. Season 2 of James Gunn's Peacemaker dropped its first episode on HBO Max earlier today. This is, of course, the second season of the spin-off show from The Suicide Squad, but that description almost feels degrading because I kind of think season 1 might have even been better than The Suicide Squad. It's taken much longer than expected to get season 2, thanks in no small part to James Gunn being hired as the Co-CEO of DC Studios mere months after season 1 released. He has also put out Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (& the Holiday Special), Creature Commandos and Superman since. Now, the show has extra baggage because it's being folded into a whole new continuity. I adore James Gunn's films and shows, but I found it an interesting choice that Team Peacemaker would be some of the only characters carrying over into this new universe. So, is the new Peacemaker canon in the DCU explained, and what connections does this first episode have to Superman? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED breakdown of episode 1!

Synopsis: Some of the most game-changing ideas in healthcare come from unexpected intersections—where engineering meets biology, and where data meets patient urgency. This episode of Biotech 2050 dives into that exact convergence with a look at how one visionary leader helped pioneer blood-based cancer diagnostics. Co-CEO & Co-Founder of Guardant Health, AmirAli Talasaz, shares the story behind building one of biotech's most impactful companies. From a graduate student navigating genomics for the first time to raising over $3 billion and leading a public company, he reflects on lessons learned, obstacles faced, and what it takes to create a patient-first culture at scale. The conversation explores the technology behind liquid biopsies and companion diagnostics, the challenges of insurance reimbursement, and how Guardant's innovations are helping detect recurrence and screen for early-stage cancers—all through a simple blood test. Hosted by Biotech 2050 Co-Founder Rahul Chaturvedi, this episode is packed with insights on biotech leadership, pharma partnerships, and building a company that scales with both urgency and heart. Biography: AmirAli Talasaz is the co-CEO of the leading precision oncology company, Guardant Health, which he co-founded in 2012 with Helmy Eltoukhy. Prior to co-founding Guardant Health, he was senior director of Diagnostics Research at Illumina and led the efforts for emerging clinical applications of next-generation genomic analysis. Before Illumina, he founded Auriphex Biosciences, which focused on purification and genetic analysis of circulating tumor cells for cancer management. Talasaz received his PhD in electrical engineering and MSc in management science from Stanford University.
In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Jennifer Lee, President and Co-CEO of Intradiem, about how AI—particularly predictive AI—can improve agent well-being, enhance customer experiences, and reduce costly attrition in telecom contact centers. Jennifer Lee Lee, who began her career as a telecom contact center agent, explains that the late summer season is one of the busiest times of the year. With back-to-school moves, new service activations, billing issues, and early product launches, call volumes can spike dramatically. Agents face repetitive, high-stress interactions that, over time, can lead to burnout and turnover. “Stress compounds,” Lee notes. “Minor stressors throughout the day add up to significant fatigue, and without intervention, that can lead to true burnout.” Intradiem's predictive AI can analyze millions of daily data points to identify when an agent is at risk, triggering automatic wellness breaks or supervisor interventions. According to Lee, agents reaching a “critical” burnout level face a 70% chance of leaving within two weeks without support. Beyond agent well-being, predictive AI can also optimize routing, ensure customers are connected to the right resource the first time, and provide agents with real-time customer context. Lee contrasts this with poor chatbot deployments that trap customers, noting that the best AI solutions enhance the customer journey while keeping humans in complex, empathy-driven interactions. “Technology should support humans, not replace them,” Lee emphasizes. “AI has capabilities that no other technology has had before, and when deployed thoughtfully, it can transform both the employee and customer experience.” More information about Intradiem's solutions is available at intradiem.com.
Brad Stroh, co-CEO and co-founder of Achieve, shares how he's built one of the most impactful fintech companies by taking a completely different path from the typical Silicon Valley playbook. Through bootstrapping rather than chasing venture capital, Brad and his co-founder have created a mission-driven business that has served over 1.5 million people and resolved $18 billion in debt since 2002.• Understanding the information asymmetry in financial services that disadvantages consumers making major financial decisions• How Achieve flips traditional asset management by focusing on liability management for the underserved• The evolution of consumer debt over two decades through multiple economic cycles• Applying AI to create "zero-click financial services" that automatically optimize consumer finances• The importance of saying no to opportunities that don't align with core mission• Brad's leadership philosophy centered on being intentional and deliberate• Making the shift from viewing monthly payments to understanding total cost of debt• How economic uncertainty and inflation are affecting consumer financial stability• The importance of balancing regulation with innovation in financial servicesWhen everyone else was chasing venture capital and quick exits back in 2002, Brad and his Stanford Business School classmate Andrew Hauser made the radical decision to bootstrap their company. Their reasoning was profound yet simple: they wanted to build something meaningful that would last decades, not just until the next funding round. This patient approach has paid extraordinary dividends.Brad shares how banks leverage vast data resources and experience to maximize profits from consumers who may only go through major financial transactions a handful of times in their lives. By flipping this dynamic and democratizing financial knowledge, Achieve helps struggling and striving families navigate their way to stability.The conversation explores how consumer debt has evolved through multiple economic cycles – from the dot-com bust through the Great Recession and pandemic. Brad offers fascinating insights on current economic conditions and the transformative potential of AI in financial services.If you've enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate and comment on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Brad Stroh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradfordstroh/Brad Stroh, the Co-CEO and co-founder of Achieve, starting the company back in 2002 out of Stanford Business School.

On the Friday sports edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will is joined by “The Film Guy,” Brooks Austin to dive into the upcoming college football season, starting with the biggest name of them all: Arch Manning. Brooks says Arch has the poise, arm talent, and command of Steve Sarkisian's offense to be special, easily a better upgrade over Quinn Ewers. They also run through the national QB landscape: why LaNorris Sellers might be the best quarterback in the country, how LSU's Garrett Nussmeier could break out, and why Oklahoma may be in trouble despite bringing in a big-name coordinator. Brooks offers his playoff picks in addition to his surprise teams to watch. Also, can James Franklin finally win a big one at Penn State? Don't bet on it. Will then talks with Cody Campbell, Texas Tech Chairman of the Board of Regents, member of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition, and Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Double Eagle Energy Holdings, about how to fix college sports. Campbell warns that without serious reform, NIL and over-professionalization will kill Olympic and women's sports. But with the right leadership and cooperation, he's confident college athletics can be saved, and Texas Tech, he hints, is just getting started.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with James Reynolds, Co-CEO and Co-founder of Coco5, and what a conversation it was. From the South Side of Chicago to Wall Street to the beverage aisle, James's journey is packed with powerful lessons on grit, reinvention, and staying true to your purpose. He opened up about a pivotal moment in college that transformed his life — when he walked away from basketball to pursue academics — and how that same clarity of purpose led him to fall in love with a product called Coco5. What started as a health-conscious investment turned into a mission-driven beverage brand that's redefining coconut water. James and his team, including NBA stars like Devin Booker and D'Angelo Russell, took a product they genuinely loved and scaled it into a clean hydration brand backed by real athletes — and more importantly, beloved by moms and kids. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: * James shares the moment he "stopped playing small" and took charge of his future — a life-altering decision that still fuels his discipline today. * How a chance encounter with Coco5 led him from investment banking to CPG founder, driven by a passion for health and hydration. * The surprising truth about their core customer: it's not just athletes — it's health-conscious moms buying for their kids. * Why saying “no” to 2,000+ Walmart stores helped them win — and how going narrow and deep created long-term success. * The secret behind their flavor-first strategy: “Kids don't care if it's good for them — it has to taste amazing.” Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode — it's a powerful story of reinvention, discipline, and building a brand with lasting impact. If you've ever wondered what it takes to succeed in CPG without experience, this is a must-listen.

Three soccer legends and Glennon go on an epic double date! Our beloved Pod Squader, Christen Press, is back with Tobin Heath to share their revolutionary reimagining of what life and love look like when you protect the sacred – and the resistance in doing things quietly and privately, especially within the queer community. How to be free and independent inside a relationship – and Tobin's seven-year contract idea; Christen and Tobin describe each other as soccer players and as people outside of sport – and how they handle conflict; and Why they say, “Don't look at us, look at our work” – and their current mission to build a sports media house for women. For our episode with Christen, check out 132.
