In this episode of Topline Spotlight, Sam Jacobs sits down with Snehal Nimje, co-founder and CEO of Outdoo, to talk about one of the hardest calls an early-stage founder can make: narrowing focus when leads are coming in. Snehal breaks down how Outdoo went from trying to serve every mid-market and enterprise buyer to getting much more specific about where the product was truly essential. They get into why usage dropped, what customer conversations revealed, how the team handled the internal shift, and what changed once they focused on insurance and finance use cases where compliance and ramp speed mattered most. They also talk about: - Why enterprise readiness starts with architecture, compliance, and security - How to tell the difference between interest and real traction - What founders miss when they chase every lead - Where defensibility really comes from in AI Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:46 Meet Snehal Nimje and Outdoo 04:55 Why selling to everyone nearly derailed the business 06:51 Finding the customers who truly need your product 08:54 The hard decision to narrow their ICP 11:00 How focus accelerated enterprise growth 13:09 Advice for founders struggling to find product-market fit 15:36 What creates a moat in the AI era? 17:13 Why workflow—not AI models—is the real competitive advantage 18:51 Snehal's biggest business inspiration 19:38 Where to find Snehal and Outdoo Try Outdoo: outdoo.ai If you're building an early-stage company and trying to find traction without turning your product into a Frankenstein, this one's worth your time.

Most high-income W-2 earners eventually run into the same problem. Their income gets better, but their structure does not. Airline pilots are one of the clearest examples. They can earn exceptional money, receive strong retirement contributions, and build what looks like a very successful financial life on paper. But as the income grows, so does the constraint: almost all of it is active, highly taxable, and tied to a system that gives them very few levers to pull. And pilots are not the only ones facing this. Doctors, executives, engineers, senior tech employees, corporate leaders, and employees sitting on major equity events can all end up in the same position. A big salary, bonus, liquidity event, or IPO can create life-changing income, but if that income is still flowing through a W-2 structure, the tax problem does not disappear. In many cases, it becomes more obvious. In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Ryan Gibson, former airline pilot and co-founder of Spartan Investment Group, to talk about the difference between earning more money and changing the facts of your financial life. Ryan spent 17 years as an airline pilot before building a self-storage company with 90 facilities, roughly 7.5 million square feet, and about 200 employees. He understands the high-income W-2 problem because he lived it, and his perspective goes beyond simply making more, saving more, or maxing out retirement accounts. We get into why pilots and other high earners often pay more in taxes as their income rises, how strong retirement contributions should change the way they think about excess cash flow, why ownership opens up tax advantages employees often cannot access, and how self-storage can give investors exposure to real estate without buying themselves another job. This is not really a conversation about pilots, and it is not only about self-storage. It is about how high-income earners can turn income into structure, ownership, cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term financial control.   About the Guest Ryan Gibson is the Co-Founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer of Spartan Investment Group, a commercial real estate firm focused on self-storage and private real estate investment opportunities. A former airline pilot with 17 years of active flying experience, Ryan brings a unique perspective to wealth-building for high-income W-2 professionals, especially pilots who are earning high incomes but often facing significant tax challenges. Through Spartan Investment Group, he helps individual investors access private real estate opportunities designed to create diversification, cash flow, tax advantages, and long-term wealth outside the traditional W-2 and 401(k) framework. Spartan has grown into a national self-storage platform with 90 facilities, roughly 7.5 million square feet, and approximately 200 employees. Ryan's real estate experience spans residential development, self-storage, infill development, finance, sales, marketing, investor relations, tax foreclosures, inherited homes and estates, and real estate syndication. He is also the co-founder of Passive Income Pilots, a platform and podcast that educates pilots and other high-income professionals on passive investing, tax strategy, real estate, and building wealth beyond the paycheck.   Spartan Investment Group: spartan-investors.com Join the Free Academy: ryan@spartan-investors.com Passive Income Pilots Podcast: https://passiveincomepilots.com/ Ryan Gibson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-gibson1/   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

In this episode of The Marketing Rapport podcast, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Andrew Filar, Co-Founder and CEO of Next Call Club, to unpack what's really happening inside the insurance lead economy — and why the old "buy more leads" mindset is quietly costing agencies their profitability. Andrew traces his journey from cold-calling commercial auto prospects at a State Farm office to running one of the largest Allstate scratch agencies in the country, and finally to building Next Call Club, an aggregator-plus-consultative-partner model designed to help agents hit real cost-per-acquisition targets.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of ActiveProspect.

In this episode, Zachary Smith, CEO and co-founder of Datum and previously the founder of Packet (acquired by Equinix for $335M) and Voxel (acquired for $35M), joins Liam to explain why the internet is about to undergo its biggest transformation since the cloud. As AI agents, vibe coding, and thousands of new applications flood the web, Zac believes the open internet model we've relied on for decades is breaking down. Zac argues that every person, every company, and eventually every AI agent will need its own private network. He explains why the future internet may look more like the Visa network than today's public web, how digital sovereignty and geopolitics are reshaping infrastructure, and why developers are increasingly relying on dozens of cloud services rather than just the hyperscalers. The conversation also dives into Zac's unlikely journey from Juilliard-trained musician to building and exiting two infrastructure companies, the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, and why he keeps coming back to startups despite already having financial freedom. Key Topics Covered Zach's journey from Juilliard and classical music to building infrastructure companies Building Voxel and selling the company for $35M Starting Packet and its $335M acquisition by Equinix Why AI agents are creating a security problem for the internet Why every person and company may eventually need a private network The difference between the public internet and private internet Why the future internet could resemble the Visa network Digital sovereignty, geopolitics, and the splintering of the internet Why developers increasingly rely on dozens of cloud providers How AI is turning millions of people into software developers APIs, MCP, and the next phase of application architecture Why Zach believes AI agents should only talk to approved systems Open source, network effects, and Datum's long-term vision The emotional side of entrepreneurship and why community matters more than money Episode Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and welcome 00:06 Zach's background: from Juilliard and classical bass to startups 02:44 Building Voxel and the early cloud era 08:44 Starting Packet, raising capital, and the Equinix acquisition 15:28 Why taking time off helped him dream again 18:02 What Datum does and the idea of a network cloud 19:38 Three forces changing the internet 20:41 Hyperscalers explained: Amazon, Google, and Microsoft 24:52 Why new cloud providers are emerging 27:16 Digital sovereignty and the fragmentation of the internet 32:03 Public internet vs. private internet 32:54 Inside the physical "meet me rooms" that connect the internet 39:49 How internet routing actually works 45:56 Why developers use so many cloud providers 48:10 APIs, MCP, and AI agents 51:07 Why the future internet may resemble the Visa network 54:23 Who Datum's customers are, and why Datum is open source 1:03:07 AI agents and the next generation of software 1:07:50 Why Zach keeps building companies, and why he does what he does Connect with Zac: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zsmith/ Website: https://www.datum.net/ Partner Links Upgrade your AI toolkit: https://www.theaireport.ai/ai-executive-pass Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://newsletter.theaireport.ai/subscribe Join the community: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

Metaview started in 2018 on a simple bet: hiring decisions are some of the most consequential calls a company makes, yet no one captures the data behind them. Cofounder Shahriar joins Carlos to talk through how Metaview's early bet was supercharged by the arrival of LLMs, their "Public Unless Private" culture borrowed from Palantir and Uber, and Fillmore, Metaview's new autonomous hiring coworker.

How do you build hardware like software?For our 50th episode, we sit down with Karthik Gulapudi, Co-Founder of SIFT, to break down what happens when the fast, iterative mindset of software development is applied to aerospace, defense, robotics, and other physical systems. Karthik spent more than four years at SpaceX, working on simulation and flight software for Dragon. He saw first-hand how SpaceX's culture of rapid iteration and continuous testing could make incredibly complex hardware development move faster. When he started wondering whether these principles could become the foundation for a company, he called his now co-founder - who told him that “four different companies are actually trying to hire me to build that.”Today, SIFT is building the observability layer for hardware: bringing telemetry, logs, video, and other data together to continuously monitor the health of complex systems and understand what changed when something goes wrong.We discuss:

Tim Vorhoff, Co-Founder of CreoValo, shares his journey from investment banking to becoming an ultramarathon runner. He explains how running began as a way to spend time outdoors after long workdays and eventually led to running a 240-mile race in Moab, UT. Tim Vorhoff discusses the mental and physical challenges of ultrarunning, highlighting the importance of adaptability, perseverance, and learning from setbacks. He connects the lessons from ultra races to his professional life, emphasizing consistency, resilience, and the value of relationships. Tim believes building rapport and understanding clients as people leads to more meaningful and enjoyable business interactions. He encourages listeners to embrace their passions and share them, creating deeper, more authentic connections at work and beyond. Episode Highlights · Running ultramarathons evolved from his love of mountaineering when investment banking limited his access to the mountains.  · Consistency and progress over time are more crucial to success than having any "magic" solution, both in running ultras and building a business. · The hardest and most meaningful moments come from pushing through challenges, learning from failures, and adapting, especially during extreme races like the Moab 240. · The skills and mindset developed through ultrarunning, such as perseverance and adaptability, directly translate to overcoming professional challenges and building strong client relationships. · Being authentic and connecting as a human first, beyond professional credentials, leads to more enjoyable and effective business relationships.

AI can now read DNA like language, generate working biological sequences, and help scientists identify disease-related mutations. Radical Numerics CEO Eric Nguyen explains how genome language models work, why his earlier model Evo helped scientists design CRISPR systems and bacteriophage genomes, and how the company's newer model, Omnii, combines DNA with RNA, proteins, and other biological signals. The conversation explores personalized medicine, gene therapy, AI-designed biological threats, “deepfake viruses,” and whether the same technology that creates new biology can also defend against it.Learn more about Radical Numerics: https://www.radicalnumerics.ai/

Today we are thrilled to welcome Mike Fey, Co-Founder and CEO of Island.io, for a robust discussion on AI, technology, and the future of work. Mike is a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur with deep experience in enterprise software and cybersecurity. Founded in 2020, Island is reimagining the enterprise browser as a platform that brings together access, security, and productivity, enabling employees to move faster while giving organizations the governance and control required at enterprise scale. We were pleased to hear Mike's perspective on this rapidly evolving landscape. In our conversation, Mike first shares Island's origin and founding premise: to improve the knowledge worker's experience while building security into the platform rather than adding it as an afterthought. We explore Island's philosophy of enabling employees to move quickly and innovate within an enterprise framework of security and governance, extending controls designed for human knowledge workers to “agentic knowledge workers,” and using the browser as an enterprise platform to replace legacy IT infrastructure and potentially consolidate portions of the security stack. Mike shares his perspective on why expectations for near-term enterprise AI ROI are often unrealistic and why successful adoption requires more than simply giving employees access to AI. We discuss the importance of creating a secure environment in which employees can experiment, build, share, and deploy AI while choosing the right AI model for the job and finding the right mix of sovereign, enterprise-controlled, and cloud-based AI. We examine how the valuable asset in AI may increasingly be the proprietary context, data, and workflows feeding models rather than simply the resulting work product. Mike explains how Island can give enterprises visibility into where data originated, who or what accessed it, why an action occurred, and how those capabilities become increasingly important as agents begin interacting with other agents. We explore Island's “tactically strategic” approach to enterprise adoption, starting with practical, self-funding opportunities to simplify the technology stack and reduce costs while building the foundation for broader AI adoption. Mike discusses M&A as one example, where establishing a secure shared environment can allow companies to begin realizing value from an acquisition before completing the full IT integration. We discuss what boards should be asking about AI, how AI adoption is currently increasing worker capability rather than simply eliminating jobs, and the challenge of scaling AI across large organizations. Mike describes adoption as a “crawl, walk, run” process and argues that most companies remain in the crawl stage. He explains why companies shouldn't wait to establish AI capabilities and shares examples of organizations using AI not simply to improve existing processes but to transform their business models. We end the session with Mike's compelling view that AI adoption is a leadership obligation: companies should prepare their employees to remain capable and competitive in an AI-shaped economy rather than allow their skills to become outdated. It was a riveting discussion and we greatly appreciate Mike's passion for the industry and his enthusiasm for the possibilities. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion with observations on the fixed income market, noting that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was trading at ~4.7% ahead of Wednesday's CPI and Thursday's PPI reports, which could help shape expectations for the Fed's next interest rate decision. In equities, the DJIA and S&P 500 were each down approximately 30 basis points. With second quarter earnings season largely complete, Mike highlighted Intel's $20 billion equity offering to fund capital expenditures, which was reportedly oversubscribed by more than five times. Turning to energy, WTI crude oil had risen approximately $5/bbl this week to roughly $83/bbl, reflecting growing skepticism that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will fully normalize in the near term. Mike noted that Iran-related policy has been a key driver of oil price volatility over the past two months. The energy sector had gained approximately 5% this week alongside higher crude prices. With second quarter energy earnings essentially complete, Mike wrapped by reviewing key themes across oilfield services, E&Ps, integrated oil majors, refiners, midstream, and power and electric utilities. Robby Kester and Veriten Senior Advisor Deborah Byers also joined and added their valuable technology perspectives and questions throughout the conversation.

Send us Fan Mail8% of pro athletes are broke within 3 years of retirement. Dan Breezy watched it happen to his friends and decided to do something different. After multiple X Games gold medals in urban snowboarding, he took the same "inch wide, mile deep" focus that made him one of the best in the world at one discipline - and applied it to becoming one of the best value-add multifamily operators in Dallas-Fort Worth, working alongside mentors like Ken McElroy and Bobby Castro.In this episode, Dan breaks down the visualization principle that let him land tricks he had never attempted before - seeing it perfectly in his mind's eye before he ever hit the jump. He connects that directly to real estate underwriting: if you can't see the answer clearly, stay back. He shares the painful lesson of running too optimistically without accounting for market cycles, how to structure debt based on where you are in the cycle, and why getting crushed in taxes as an athlete was the catalyst for everything.

AI is everywhere in the headlines right now, but is it actually doing anything positive for engineers? Or is it just going to take jobs and produce less competent engineers by putting everything on autopilot? I sat down with Tobias Pohl, Co-Founder and CEO of CELUS, and Matt Bromley, VP of Product Strategy for Siemens EDA, to try to get past the hype and talk honestly about what agentic AI is actually changing, from early concept and ideation all the way through the PCB design process, and just as importantly, what it's not changing. CELUS and Siemens EDA have partnered to bridge that early, "fuzzy" stage of concept design into the traditional schematic, layout, and manufacturing flow. Toby and Matt talk about how agentic AI is compressing the design flow, from comparing datasheets and selecting components to running simulations, while the architecture and the judgment calls stay firmly with the engineer. They also talk about how agentic AI is now working across toolsets. Engineers can ask a question in one platform and have it orchestrated across another, without all the manual handoffs, file conversions, and integration work that used to eat up so much time and introduce design risks.    00:00 — Introductions Toby and Matt introduce themselves and how the CELUS/Siemens EDA partnership came together. 01:17 — Why CELUS and Siemens EDA partnered The gap between early concept design and traditional engineering tool chains, and how the two platforms connect ideation to schematic, layout, and manufacturing. 04:20 — The real bottlenecks in modern design Why comparing datasheets and chip selection can eat weeks of engineering time, and how a non-linear design process creates constant rework. 07:59 — Where AI is already delivering real value Extracting models and data from datasheets, evaluating BOM choices against manufacturability and lead time, and using AI to interpret simulation results. 11:35 — Inside agentic architecture Toby explains the shift from single LLM assistants to full agentic systems, including guardrail agents, review agents, and orchestration across multiple tools, including agents that hand off work between CELUS and Siemens EDA without the engineer manually reconnecting the two. 17:54 — Does the engineer stay in control? I push Toby and Matt directly on whether AI is encroaching on architecture and design judgment. The answer is still no, and they explain why. 19:39 — Walking the design journey, start to finish Toby and Matt trace a real workflow: describing design intent in natural language, generating an initial architecture, comparing multiple approaches, and handing off an electrically correct design into Siemens EDA tools for simulation, layout, and DFM. 28:19 — Who holds the judgment Why the designer still drives architecture and intent, and how agentic tools add robustness rather than replace decision-making. 35:00 — The hard question about jobs I ask the question our listeners won't forgive me for skipping: didn't software engineers lose jobs when AI hit? Toby and Matt respond with the historical parallel to compilers, high-level languages, and past technology hype cycles. 40:46 — What's next Toby and Matt preview upcoming agentic capabilities across both platforms and how you can start exploring the tools yourself. Key takeaway The engineer remains the design intent and architecture. Agentic AI is built to take the manual grind out of design, the spreadsheets, the datasheet comparisons, the repetitive tool-switching, so engineers can spend more of their time on the judgment calls, the creativity, and the innovation that only they can bring.

"The environment we build around a cat shapes her outcome more than any single intervention we can ever make." his episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Community Cat Clinic. Jodi Belongié has spent more than 25 years in animal welfare and shelter medicine, driven by a question that traces back to age 14, when she talked her way into fostering an abandoned pregnant cat with no rescue to call. That instinct — that the systems cats need don't have to already exist, you can build them — led her to co-found the Chico Cat Café in 2021, which became the proving ground for what she calls the SAFE framework: an original behavioral welfare model, developed through the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, that reframes adoption assessment around a single question — not "is this cat adoptable?" but "is this environment giving her a fair chance to show us who she is?"   Jodi and Stacey dig into what that looked like in practice: the café's deliberately home-like design, hard caps on capacity (never more than 12–14 cats, nine visitors an hour), and a rescue-based intake process built to get cats settled before they ever meet an adopter. The conversation widens into Jodi's vision for community cat management's next chapter — small, replicable hubs that go beyond adoption into trap depots, spay/neuter access, and food pantries, especially in the rural and under-resourced areas philanthropy tends to overlook. That's the mission behind The CATS Foundation, launching spring 2027.   Press Play Now For:   The origin story behind Jodi's decades in animal welfare — and why she says "the credential has always been secondary to the question" What the SAFE framework is and how it reframes adoption assessment around environment instead of the cat Inside the design choices behind Chico Cat Café's home-like, non-industrial space The capacity-for-care numbers Jodi holds firm on, and why more cats than people is intentional How SAFE's underlying philosophy already shows up in the work of colony managers, TNR practitioners, and foster coordinators Jodi's vision for a "2.0" model of small, replicable community cat hubs — and why she believes it should start small The mission behind The CATS Foundation and its spring 2027 launch   Resources & Links:   Jodi's Substack, The Outpost Observer: https://pawsitiveparadigm.substack.com/ Jodi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodibelongiervt/   Editor's note: Since this conversation was recorded, Jodi has closed Chico Cat Café, paused The CATS Foundation, and consolidated her cats-centric consulting and publishing work under Nine Lives Strategies.

Show Notes There is a version of the music career that gets written about, and there is the version that gets played. Frankie Raye lives in the second one. She performs six or seven nights a week across the greater Tampa Bay area, mixes covers with originals depending on what the room wants, and treats the gig itself as the practice session. She points at old video of herself and measures the distance she has traveled, not against a chart position, but against her own playing. That volume changes how craft works. Frankie Raye does not describe herself as a guitar player. She describes herself as a singer whose guitar carries her voice, and she is direct about the shortcuts that make a set possible: capo up, transpose on the phone, skip the bridge if the chords are ugly, come back to the chorus. The room is singing along to the chorus anyway. What sounds like a confession is closer to a working method, and the results are visible over 12 years of professional performing. Her songwriting has flipped in the past few years. Frankie Raye used to build the music first and squeeze lyrics into it. Now the hook arrives first, often from a conversation or a road sign, and lives in her phone until a riff comes along that fits. A song she is recording this year began as a complaint about venues that want maximum energy on a minimum budget. Another began as a poem written from the passenger seat on a drive south. She performs that one, "Wasting Time," live during the episode. On artificial intelligence she is unambiguous. Frankie Raye does not use it for music, and her objection is not about quality but about origin and consequence: the material was written by people, and the person who could have been hired to write a song for a friend was not hired. That position leads somewhere unexpected. If machine-generated tracks are charting, she reasons, then chasing that sound is chasing something that no longer rewards a human for reaching it. So she stopped. She writes what she wants and releases what she wants, and she has decided against the label path she once wanted, choosing instead a following small enough to know by name. The measure she offers at the end of the conversation is not streams or signings. It is 50 people who bought tickets because they wanted to be in the room. That is a quieter ambition than the industry usually rewards, and it may be the only one currently under an artist's own control.

Crogl arrived at Black Hat USA 2026 with two announcements behind it. The week before the show, the company made a free download of its AI SOC agent generally available. On the morning of this conversation, it went public with a major global partner tied to the U.S. Department of Defense. Monzy Merza, Co-Founder and CEO of Crogl, ties both back to a position the company took three years ago, which is that customers should control their own data and a security product should be secure. What does sovereignty mean in security operations? Less about geography, more about control and choice. Merza points to the electric utility that wants current AI technology inside an OT environment and historically had one path, which ran through the internet. Crogl is built to run closed off from the internet with its capability intact, which is what critical infrastructure operators, large banks, and defense organizations need to satisfy their own regulators. There is a second reason, and it lands on intellectual property. A large financial institution holds knowledge about its customers that nobody else holds. If an outside party takes that data and builds derivative work from it, the institution has given away something it never intended to sell. Can a sovereign deployment still be flexible? Merza makes the case that it can when the architecture is right. Customers bring whatever model they want, including models they build. Crogl creates a semantic layer across data stores without transforming, normalizing, or moving the data, so a field labeled one way in one data lake connects to its counterpart in the next. Federated querying and federated search were base principles from the start, and the company holds a patent on the approach. One customer runs a hundred terabytes a day across six data lakes. The operational math is where it gets interesting for the business. An analyst who might close ten alerts in a shift can work fifty or sixty when the rest arrive with a verdict and documentation already attached. Risk drops because alerts actually get investigated, audit cycles move faster because the evidence is there when the auditor asks, and cost follows the data rather than the pipeline. The reaction from practitioners is the part Merza keeps returning to. Rather than worrying about being replaced, the people he talks with are glad to skip the seventeen thousandth phishing email and spend that time on a blast radius question they could not get to before. One person went from a fresh install to a submitted investigation report in under ten minutes and posted about it publicly. This is a Brand Spotlight.

At Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and co-founder of Manifest Cyber, starts with a gap his team measured in a survey of security leaders and practitioners. Leadership described one version of what is happening with AI inside the enterprise. The people doing the hands-on work described another. Adoption keeps moving, and security teams are working to catch up. So what is the real risk in AI security? Bardenstein puts less weight on non-determinism than most and more on ordinary poor software security, because AI is software. He walks through the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident, where models got out of sandboxes because the sandboxing was weak and the guardrails were missing. When Hugging Face went to use its own AI to defend and run forensics, the guardrails read the request as cyber activity and declined. That fallback to an open weight model points to why he expects open weight adoption to accelerate. With frontier models, the provider sets the system prompt and treats it as intellectual property, so development teams inherit whatever was decided upstream. Open weight leaves more room to control the system prompt, the training data, and how the model gets deployed. What does it mean to say AI has its own supply chain? Unless an organization controls how training data is sourced, housed, labeled, tagged, and modified, it is relying on something someone else built. Public datasets carry whatever is inside them, including personal and health data, licensing exposure, and material no one examined until models were trained and deployed. Models hosted on public hubs sit in the same category. Two asks come up in most CISO conversations with Manifest Cyber. Visibility is one, and few organizations have an AI inventory covering which models run where, inside which applications, and which agents teams have stood up on their own. Third party risk is the other, since AI is getting built into vendor products whether a buyer asks for it or not. That turns model provenance into a trust question about the vendor. Bardenstein started Manifest Cyber four years ago after responding to Log4Shell from the Pentagon, where the question was where one affected piece of code was running across everything the organization had built and bought. Years later, he finds few security leaders who could answer that question quickly about a poisoned model or dataset. His advice for CISOs is to know what is inside what the organization builds and buys, with particular attention to the parts it does not build. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Send us Fan MailWhen Connor Schoen co-founded Breaktime at just 19 years old, he set out to change the lives of young adults experiencing homelessness. Years later, after leading one of Boston's most influential nonprofits, receiving national recognition, and navigating the pressures of leadership, he found himself confronting a different question: Who am I becoming?In this episode of At the Podium, Connor reflects on the hidden cost of leadership, learning to embrace rather than hide his youth, coming out as pansexual, and discovering that authentic leadership begins when the person you are in public and the person you are in private become one.This conversation isn't simply about running a nonprofit. It's about identity, integrity, purpose, and the freedom to keep evolving. Together, we explore what it means to lead without performing, to hold power with humility, and to build a life that remains open to whatever comes next.Whether you're leading a company, building a career, navigating your own identity, or simply wondering who you're becoming, Connor's story is a thoughtful reminder that the greatest leadership journey is often the one taking place within ourselves.Connor Schoen is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Breaktime, a Boston-based nonprofit working to end young adult homelessness.

Send us Fan MailMiguel Armaza flew to Almaty, Kazakhstan to sit down with Mikhail Lomtadze, CEO and Co-Founder of Kaspi, for their second conversation in two years. It is hard to explain how dominant and loved Kaspi is in this market: in a country of 20 million people, more than 15 million use the app daily, and it handles two thirds of Kazakhstan's e-commerce. What started as a traditional bank is now one of the world's most defining super apps, and it just entered a new chapter, expanding into Türkiye through Hepsiburada and launching Kasper, its consumer-facing AI assistant.They discussed why Kaspi's final destination is the everyday AI assistant rather than the everyday super app, why almost nobody in the company carries a financial target, how a 10,000-person organization stays a collection of startups, what the first year inside Türkiye has actually taught them, and why he thinks investors are underestimating their ability to execute.Want more podcast episodes?
