“Timeless Truths” Episode 74 - “The Meaning of Memorial Day”This is a replay of my episode from last year – but it's information is timeless, so I decided I needed to air this again. Even if you listened to it last year, I encourage you to listen to it again because we need to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.Memorial Day is often seen as the unofficial start of summer. But the true meaning of Memorial Day is something very different. I want to talk about it – as I consider PATRIOTISM a “foundational value” which is a cornerstone of my podcast. It is a “timeless truth” that we all should know and understand. It is the day to honor our fallen soldiers – who gave their lives for our freedom. For veterans, it's a chance to honor those who are no longer here. We can never repay them for laying down their lives for us – but we can remember them this day. SHOW NOTES:· The meaning and origin of Memorial Day· The difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day· The meaning of the “poppy” as a Memorial Day symbol· Memorial Day Traditions· Things NOT to do on Memorial Day· The American Legion & VFW· Arlington National Cemetery· The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier· Veterans' Museums· My Memorial Day Story You can listen in on Apple or Spotify - Same links each time.Apple –https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timeless-truths/id1695920504Spotify –https://open.spotify.com/show/0TU2Tj6gmTY3tuwiU3DrUHFor links to other podcast platforms, use LinkTree –https://linktr.ee/drchris024 I want to invite you to FOLLOW this podcast so that you never miss an episode!

How can AI make meetings better? That's the simple question that inspired Granola, a productivity tool that can tell you what was actually discussed in that meeting last week and what the real next steps are. In this episode of Generative Now, host Michael Mignano, partner at Lightspeed, sits down with Granola co-founders Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson at their headquarters in London. They talk about how they first met, their early product bets, and how they decided to focus on solving one painful problem: the chaos that follows every meeting. They share the story behind their early experiments with GPT-3 and how that eventually evolved into a tool designed especially for people who find their days filled with back-to-back meetings. Chris and Sam explain why they avoided flashy AI features to focus on simplicity and habit-forming design, how they quickly found their product-market fit, and what it means to adapt quickly in the age of LLMs. Episode Chapters00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:15 Finding the Right Co-Founder01:51 Tools for Thought and AI03:24 Identifying the Problem04:38 Building the Solution05:07 The Evolution of AI and App Layer07:46 Challenges and Innovations11:20 Business Model and Future Outlook14:24 The Launch and Early Success17:52 Theoretical vs. Practical User Needs18:17 Stress and Software Design19:28 Scaling with AI22:05 Maintaining Quality and Taste24:10 Building a Silicon Valley Startup in London28:03 The Future of Granola30:27 Early Feedback and Iteration35:09 Privacy and Data HandlingStay in touch:www.lsvp.comX: https://twitter.com/lightspeedvpLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lightspeed-venture-partners/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lightspeedventurepartners/Subscribe on your favorite podcast app: generativenow.coEmail: generativenow@lsvp.comThe content here does not constitute tax, legal, business or investment advice or an offer to provide such advice, should not be construed as advocating the purchase or sale of any security or investment or a recommendation of any company, and is not an offer, or solicitation of an offer, for the purchase or sale of any security or investment product.
