In this episode, Chris sits down with Josh Zegen, Co-Founder & Managing Principal of Madison Realty Capital, a $25 billion real estate private credit firm he started with his college roommate in 2004. They dig into how he built one of the largest private lenders in the country starting from a desk in his dad's law office - and why he still thinks of himself as a businessman first and a real estate guy second. Josh got into lending almost by accident. Laid off from a VC firm at 26 when the dot-com bubble burst, he took one mortgage deal nobody else would do, saw how fragmented and non-institutional the market was, and built a fund around it before "private credit" meant anything. Chris and Josh go deep on surviving '08, reinventing the business when capital dried up, and how Madison grew into a platform that now lends to other lenders. They discuss: How Josh went from a laid-off VC associate living back home to founding a $25B firm Surviving '09 - including giving up 50% of the company for a $50M anchor that collapsed at the last minute Why he built servicing, asset management, and capital raising in-house instead of outsourcing The $10B back-leverage book that makes Madison the lender to ~100 other private lenders The $720M single loan behind the largest office-to-residential conversion in NYC Where he sees real estate credit headed - and why he stays away from office, data centers, and anything "binary" Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:52) Rate Volatility and a Stalled CRE Investment Market(09:44) What's Getting Done Today: Construction, Conversions, and Recaps(18:49) Founding Madison: Seeing Opportunity in a Fragmented Market(25:19) The GFC: Gating Investors and Going Vertically Integrated(31:26) The $50M REIT Deal That Nearly Ended Madison—And the Door It Opened(44:28) Why Borrowers Now Prefer Private Credit Over Banks(47:17) In-House Loan Servicing as Madison's Competitive Edge(49:06) The Back Leverage Business: Lending to Private Lenders(55:35) Capital Markets Expansion and Staying True to Real Estate(1:05:55) The Pfizer Deal, Lifecycle Lending, and Madison's Road Ahead(1:15:06) Staying Relevant by Constantly Innovating and Looking for Acquisition Opportunities ----- Presented by Airshare: Trusted across the country for fractional ownership, jet cards, charter, and aircraft management, Airshare gives you a smarter way to fly private - over 25 years of experience, operating their own fleet, with the top safety ratings in the industry.

"The status quo is in all of our hands," says TRUFF co-founder Nick Guillen — a mindset that has guided the brand since day one. TRUFF built its reputation by breaking the rules. Now, as the company expands beyond its viral hot sauce with a major rebrand, new product lines, and a retail-focused growth strategy, Nick and co-founder Nick Ajluni are focused on scaling the business without losing the edge that made it a phenomenon. In this episode, the entrepreneurs discuss the strategy behind TRUFF's refreshed packaging, more accessible pricing, and new aioli line, as well as how they balance data and instinct when developing products. They also explain why bringing in an experienced CEO was a pivotal move for the company's next chapter and share their vision for evolving TRUFF from a disruptive startup into a lasting, category-defining condiment brand. Show notes: 0:20: Nick Ajluni & Nick Guillen, Co-Founders, TRUFF – The founders reflected on TRUFF's evolution from a digitally native, Instagram-driven luxury hot sauce brand into a broader premium condiment company focused on making "elevated culinary experiences more accessible" and a mission to become America's leading premium condiment brand. They also discussed TRUFF's recent brand refresh, describing it as a careful "renovation" rather than a reinvention and one that could support a more accessible pricing strategy without sacrificing the premium quality, distinctive branding, or culinary standards that built the company's reputation. They talk about the brand's innovation strategy which balances data, retailer feedback, consumer trends, and intuition while maintaining rigorous product development standards. The founders also highlight investments in talent, operations, and product quality and praise new CEO Essy Wolbe for her combination of CPG expertise, culinary passion, and cultural alignment with the founders' vision. Looking ahead, they say that their goal is not simply distribution growth or a potential acquisition, but building an enduring brand that reshapes how consumers think about condiments.

What happens when the thing you built no longer feels aligned with where you're meant to go? In this episode, Matt sits down with Rena Pacheco-Theard, CEO & Co-Founder of Boutiq, for an honest conversation about transformation, calculated risk, and the difficult decisions that come with growth. After years balancing technology, property management, and relentless entrepreneurship, Rena found herself asking a deceptively simple question: Is the juice worth the squeeze? Together, they explore what it means to let go of a successful chapter in order to create space for the next one. Navigating uncertainty, trusting intuition over external validation, and redefining leadership in a world increasingly shaped by AI, rapid change, and human complexity. From career pivots and ethical business building to community, motherhood, mentorship, and the search for meaningful impact, this conversation dives into what success really looks like when you stop measuring it by growth alone. Because sometimes the next level isn't doing more. It's getting honest about what's actually worth building.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small‑Cap Spotlight podcast, Rod Baltzer, CEO of Deep Isolation, joins Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair, Co‑Founder, and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, along with WTR Analyst Eric Goldstein.Deep Isolation is an innovative nuclear waste disposal technology company focused on protecting human health and the environment by addressing one of the most persistent challenges of the nuclear age. The company has pioneered a patented, directionally drilled deep‑borehole disposal system that places spent nuclear fuel and high‑level radioactive waste approximately one mile underground — twice the depth of a traditional mined repository, at roughly 70% lower cost, and achievable in months rather than decades.At the core of the platform is Deep Isolation's Universal Canister System, a single integrated solution for storage, transportation, and permanent disposal. By eliminating the need to repackage waste, the system helps avoid a potential $30 billion liability embedded in the current U.S. dry‑cask stockpile. With more than 100 patents; strategic partnerships with Halliburton, Amentum, Navarro, and Westinghouse; over $6 million in DOE and ARPA‑E grants; and no direct global competitor in the borehole disposal space, Deep Isolation sits at the nexus of the nuclear renaissance, the SMR buildout, and a $155 billion global waste backlog expected to nearly double by 2050.

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥ The healthcare system is, by some measures, the most targeted sector in cybersecurity. Patient records get lifted, hospitals get held for ransom, and the supposed protections often look more like antiquated friction than modern defense. Gil Bashe, Chair of Global Health and Purpose at FINN Partners, joins Sean Martin to explore why the systems meant to protect people's most sensitive information are, in many cases, the same systems holding back better care. A former combat medic, agency CEO, private equity operator, and now author of Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter, Gil Bashe brings a rare composite view of how information, technology, and human judgment collide in healthcare. The conversation moves quickly from ransomware and HIPAA-covered entities into the harder questions about AI. With an estimated 80 percent of doctors already using OpenAI tools to assist with diagnosis or treatment patterns, the line between "in the zone" and "precision" information has become a clinical safety issue. Gil Bashe reframes hallucinations as what they really are in his world: wrong facts. And wrong facts, fed back into a system that increasingly trusts the output, create a feedback loop that no one is accountable for. The machine doesn't sleep, doesn't worry, doesn't carry responsibility. The humans on either side of it do. That accountability gap is where the cybersecurity audience comes in. Gil Bashe draws a direct parallel between great coders and great clinicians: both work inside-out and outside-in, interviewing the people who use the system and the people the system serves. He argues that the cybersecurity professional protecting an EMT's routing system, a hospital's power grid, or an MRI data pipeline is saving lives on the same continuum as the paramedic. The skillset is different. The stakes are not. Sean Martin and Gil Bashe also press on the leadership question raised by AI. If clinicians are freed up by 15 percent of their day, what does the system ask them to do with that time? See two more patients on the conveyor belt of sick care, or actually treat the underlying cause of disease? With 18.7 percent of U.S. GDP going to healthcare and 35 percent of that consumed by administration, the answer is not technical. It is a leadership decision about what the technology is for. This conversation asks cybersecurity practitioners, CISOs, and technology leaders to widen the frame. Protecting data is the floor. Protecting the human relationships, the clinical judgment, and the dignity of the patient on the other end of the system is the work. ⬥GUEST⬥ Gil Bashe, Chair, Global Health and Purpose at FINN Partners | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gilbashe/ ⬥HOST⬥ Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ ⬥RESOURCES⬥ Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter (book by Gil Bashe) | https://www.finnpartners.com/news-insights/healing-the-sick-care-system-why-people-matter/ FINN Partners | https://www.finnpartners.com/ The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7108625890296614912/ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast episodes | https://www.seanmartin.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcast Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYq ⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥ Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcast Redefining CyberSecurity on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYq The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter | https://itspm.ag/future-of-cybersecurity Connect with Sean Martin | https://www.seanmartin.com/ ⬥KEYWORDS⬥ gil bashe, finn partners, sean martin, healthcare cybersecurity, hospital ransomware, ai in medicine, chatgpt clinical use, patient data protection, hipaa business associates, health information leadership, sick care system, non-communicable diseases, human leadership in ai, medical misinformation, prompt accountability, redefining cybersecurity, cybersecurity podcast, redefining cybersecurity podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bob Verlaat and Nick Nijhof are Amsterdam-based entrepreneurs and Co-Founders of Hears, the fast-growing hearing protection brand redefining earplugs through premium design and industry-leading sound clarity. Prior to Hears, the duo successfully scaled luxury sleep wellness brand Dore & Rose to $30M in revenue, building deep expertise in branding, Ecommerce, and consumer behavior. Their entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by creating products that solve real consumer problems while building emotionally resonant brands. After Bob experienced hearing damage and persistent tinnitus from loud music, the pair became increasingly aware of the global problem of noise-induced hearing loss and the lack of earplugs people actually wanted to wear. Existing products compromised sound quality, looked unattractive, and failed to fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles. Driven by that personal frustration, Bob and Nick spent 1.5 years researching and developing Hears from scratch, investing in patented filter technology and an award-winning heart-shaped design focused on preserving natural sound while protecting hearing. Since launching in 2024, Hears has generated $7M in first-year revenue, won the Red Dot Design Award, and partnered with globally recognized brands and venues including Yves Saint Laurent and Pacha Ibiza.

On this episode Fred sits down with Matt Berseth, Co-Founder and CIO of Jacksonville-based AI and machine learning firm NLP Logix, for a candid conversation about artificial intelligence's uneven journey into healthcare. Berseth traces his path from a small North Dakota farm to co-founding one of America's fastest-growing AI companies, and reflects on the landmark moment in 2016 when NLP Logix's algorithm finished in the top five of the international "CAMELYON16" digital pathology challenge, competing against teams from MIT, Harvard, and Google. The episode covers why clinical AI has been so slow to scale despite impressive research results, where the real near-term opportunity lies (hint: it's in the back office and workflow automation, not the OR), and what healthcare executives should be doing right now to position their organizations for the AI-accelerated decade ahead. Berseth closes with a compelling call to prioritize organizational AI literacy, ie, the foundational investment that separates AI-ready health systems from those still waiting on the sidelines.

Have you ever wondered why political campaigns can send millions of text messages but still struggle to have meaningful conversations with voters? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Tom Carroll, Co-Founder of Convos, a startup rethinking how political campaigns communicate through SMS. While political texting has become a standard part of modern campaigning, Tom argues that the industry has spent years solving the problem of message delivery while largely ignoring what happens when voters actually respond. We explore how Convos is building a conversational SMS infrastructure that helps campaigns manage thousands of voter interactions simultaneously. Rather than focusing solely on message volume, the platform analyzes replies, identifies sentiment and alignment, prioritizes urgent conversations, and helps campaigns understand what voters are really talking about. Tom shares how this approach is helping campaigns move beyond one-way broadcasts and toward genuine engagement at scale. During our conversation, we discussed why traditional political texting often breaks down once campaigns begin receiving large volumes of replies, how AI-powered conversational systems can help manage those interactions responsibly, and why transparency remains essential when introducing AI into political communications. Tom also explains how Convos uses campaign-approved knowledge bases and multiple validation checks to reduce misinformation and maintain message consistency. We also examine the broader implications of conversational AI in politics, from voter education and turnout efforts to balancing automation with authenticity. Tom shares examples of how campaigns have used conversational SMS to answer voter questions, provide election information, and create opportunities for meaningful engagement without overwhelming campaign staff. As AI continues to influence how organizations communicate with large audiences, this conversation offers an interesting look at how technology can help people listen at scale rather than talk louder. What role should AI play in political engagement, and where should the line be drawn between helpful voter communication and automated persuasion? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.

Ethereum's midlife crisis hits the podcast as ex-Bankless and ConsenSys insiders unpack ETH's talent exodus, identity spiral, "Microsoft" future, EF shake-ups, and the Solana contender play-all with spicy takes on airdrops, real dev stats, and blockchain adoption drama. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, it's an Ethereum apostasy spectacular: we're joined by David Hoffman and Max Resnick, who hit the confessional booth to explain why they've left the church of Ethereum.  We kick off with David's viral "ETH is money" post-mortem: why he finally sold, and whether ETH can escape its spot on the yield farm for good. Max jumps in with an OG technologist's view on EF's internal struggles, talent flight, and the move-slow, break-nothing philosophy now gripping Ethereum's core. Is the EF just ossifying—or is it devolving into the "Microsoft of crypto"? From there, the hosts dissect the "second foundation" meme, why Twitter doomers might not matter for the ETH price, and whether Solana has stolen the next generation of devs. Max throws down on Solana's quantum future while the group takes barstool shots at metrics, narratives, and the never-ending "Ethereum is for boomers" debate. Whether you're a ride-or-die Etherean or just here for the schadenfreude, let's get into it.

Jason Rantz sat down with Rowena Gates, co-founder of Seattle-based Eng3 Corporation, at the Beyond Biohacking Conference to talk about NanoVi — the device designed to support your body's natural cellular repair process. Rowena breaks down how damaged proteins contribute to aging and disease, how NanoVi's bio-identical signal helps the body correct that damage, and why biohackers and elite athletes are paying attention. Jason, a NanoVi user himself, gets into the practical side: how to use it, what to realistically expect, and who it's for.

How does a free, decentralized, volunteer-run encyclopedia produce something more trusted than nearly any for-profit institution? Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales to explore how the platform organizes global knowledge.  The conversation unpacks how Wikipedia governs itself without a central authority, why consensus beats voting, and what the deliberate vagueness of its rules actually protects against. But is artificial intelligence a looming threat to this system? Wales questions whether these new technologies can actually verify truth without the human feedback loops that correct traditional platforms.  Can the community-driven approach of Wikipedia teach the broader business world how to survive an era of deep digital skepticism? Tune in to discover if spontaneous human order is truly the ultimate defense against an automated future. Connect with us:

Most people don't realize how broken drug discovery really is. According to Liran Belenzon, companies can spend seven years and hundreds of millions of dollars on a drug candidate—only to see it fail in human trials. In this episode, Liran explains why biology is one of the most complex systems humans have ever tried to understand and how AI can help researchers uncover patterns humans miss. The discussion explores why even small improvements in success rates could completely reshape healthcare outcomes worldwide. This episode is a powerful glimpse into the future of science and medicine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
