 Today we are breaking down the cybersecurity giant, Cloudflare.  Today, Cloudflare controls over 20% of the world's web traffic, and more impressively, absorbs 2.5mn cyber attacks per second. My guest is Sam Eden, Investor at Square Peg's Global Tech Fund. And while I understood on the surface what Cloudflare does, Sam helped me get into the weeds on how the digital pipes actually work. So we go through the rise of Cloudflare and how they differentiated themselves vs. the incumbents and fellow upstarts. Through this story, Sam details the product offerings that led to Cloudflare's leading market share, and what growth looks like moving forward.  Please enjoy this episode on Cloudflare.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Become a Colossus member to get our quarterly print magazine and private audio experience, including exclusive profiles and early access to select episodes.

My guests today are Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz, Co-Managing Partners of 3G Capital. 3G has built one of the most distinctive firms in investing around a simple idea: there are only a handful of truly great businesses and even fewer great CEOs. Their model is to raise capital with the intention of making just one investment per fund, commit meaningful amounts of their own money alongside their partners, and focus all of their time and best people on that single opportunity.  Their approach has produced a series of iconic deals, including Burger King, Tim Hortons, Hunter Douglas, and Skechers. They have also become known for developing talent early, giving young leaders real responsibility and ownership, and holding an unusually high bar. Once you've heard from Alex and Daniel, I highly recommend you read our in-depth profile on them and 3G Capital. They gave our managing editor Dom Cooke unprecedented access and the outcome is an excellent profile about the fifty year history of 3G and how the model began with Jorge Paulo Lemann in Brazil.

Send a text#369 - For us runners, it's a constant battle between our logical brain and our emotions. Sometimes we need logic and in other times we need our emotions. There are times when one or the other will hurt or help us. Today, I help to break it down so that we can tell the difference. By identifying the differences before we start our runs, it can help a lot, because if the latter stages of a long run or race, we may not have the mental energy to do it. If you haven't checked it out yet, MRTW has a YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Boston has been a creative powerhouse for decades. While agencies like Mullen, The Barbarian Group, Modernista, and Hill Holiday have all left their mark, Arnold continues to this day, alongside smaller agencies like Colossus, to make a mark with national work (think Progressive Insurance) that makes most of us jealous. Boston also houses many in-house agencies at companies including The LEGO Group. Shark Ninja, Staples, Liberty Mutual, New Balance, Puma, etc. We talk about all this and more with many of the people at its center.

In this episode, Michael sits down with Reid Zeising, CEO of GAIN, the largest revenue cycle management organization specializing in litigated and complex healthcare claims. The conversation pulls back the curtain on how healthcare providers struggle to get paid for services already delivered, and how technology and AI are being used to push back against decades of insurance-driven denial strategies. Reid explains how the insurance industry fundamentally changed in 1994, when Allstate introduced Colossus, a system designed to standardize and often suppress claim payouts in favor of shareholder value. That shift, he argues, still shapes today's reimbursement environment, leaving providers underpaid and patients caught in the middle. Drawing on Michael's background in primary care administration, the discussion highlights a stark reality: many healthcare organizations collect only a fraction of what they bill, even when care is medically necessary and properly delivered. Reid compares this to asking professionals to do full work for partial pay and explains why this model is unsustainable, especially for providers serving uninsured and underinsured populations. The conversation then turns to how GAIN is using AI, predictive analytics, and technology-enabled workflows to reverse that imbalance. By focusing on litigated and complex claims, GAIN helps providers recover fair compensation, improve cash flow, and continue offering care to communities that need it most. Reid also shares why his company intentionally shifted away from higher-margin claim financing toward a service-driven model built around access, transparency, and long-term system impact. Michael and Reid also explore the broader healthcare landscape, including the financial strain on providers, the coming “silver tsunami” of aging patients, and the consequences of tort reform on patient access to care. Reid challenges common insurance-industry narratives around “frivolous lawsuits,” explaining how language and lobbying efforts have been used to restrict legitimate claims and reduce accountability. The episode closes with Reid's advocacy work through Americans for Patient Access and Americans for Responsible Consumer Funding, organizations focused on protecting access to healthcare and helping individuals navigate overwhelming medical and financial challenges. This is a candid, systems-level conversation about healthcare economics, AI-driven disruption, and what it will take to ensure providers get paid and patients get care. https://gainservicing.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/reidzeising/  

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we understand our health — not just how we feel today, but how fast we're actually aging.On this episode of Live Long, host Peter Bowes continues his personal experiment with Hundred, the AI-powered longevity platform that combines advanced blood testing, wearable data and personalized insights to track biological age and guide smarter health decisions.After introducing the app in an earlier conversation, Peter reconnects with Hundred's founder, Tyler Smith, to go deeper into the idea of a “health operating system” — essentially a personal doctor in your pocket. Together they explore how continuous testing and AI analysis could help prevent disease, spot risks earlier, and motivate lasting behavior change — while also addressing the realities of over-testing, false alarms, privacy concerns and health anxiety.Peter also shares the results of his own first round of testing, what surprised him most, and how he's using the data to shape his approach to longevity and healthy aging.-----JOIN HUNDREDOptimize your healthspan and potentially lower your biological age.  Tyler and the team at HUNDRED are offering $75 in credit for add-on tests and supplements from the HUNDRED marketplace when you sign up at hundred.com/livelongpodcastThis podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In this powerful and honest episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we sit down with Emma Tucker, an Age Group Athlete from Australia whose journey to Ironman is nothing short of remarkable. Emma opens up about living an unhealthy lifestyle before a serious health scare pushed her to make a change that would alter the course of her life. Over the span of a year, she lost nearly 80 kilos, openly sharing her decision to undergo weight loss surgery and documenting the entire process on Instagram to help educate and support others.Emma walks us through relearning how to eat, exercise, and manage stress—including starting with just an hour a day on an elliptical in her garage and changing jobs to create a healthier lifestyle. She shares how her Ironman journey began by simply running from one road reflector to the next, her unique fueling strategy of eight small meals per day, lessons learned from her first major injury, and a hilarious moment when her physical therapist “ratted her out” to her coach. The conversation culminates with Emma qualifying for and racing the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Kona.This episode is a must-listen for any Age Group Athlete chasing big goals, one small step at a time.#TheEverydayIronman #AgeGroupAthlete #IronmanJourney #TriathlonLife #IronmanWorldChampionships #Kona2025 #TransformationStoryFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Today we have a special episode breaking down how investors are using AI.  This is a question I get from many of you, and while there is no shortage of content on the implications of AI, I know there's an appetite to learn more about tangible use cases, how to make sure you're getting the most out of these tools, how to think about advancements in the technology, and ensuring that you're keeping pace with the innovation curve. So my guest today is David Plon, Founder of Portrait Analytics. Now, David and Portrait have been partners of Business Breakdowns since last year, but I specifically asked David to do this episode because, one, he is really front and center to how investors are using and applying AI. But two, and maybe more importantly, he and his team come with a background in investing.  So while the conversation doesn't really focus on Portrait, you'll hear references to what he and his team are building and how they've shaped it for investors, you'll very much understand when you hear David talk that he is someone who understands the pain points of an investor. I think everyone will find something in this episode that will benefit them in their day to day, and I would love to hear the feedback.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Portrait Analytics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - your centralized resource for AI-powered idea generation, thesis monitoring, and personalized report building.

On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're running the full, uncut version of our interview with Williamson, pulled straight from the complete transcript behind the piece.

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Ashley sits down with newly turned pro triathlete Sarah Spooner to talk about what it really takes to level up—without leaving life behind. Sarah isn't just racing at the highest level; she's doing it while working full-time as a teacher, supporting her family, and raising her 9-year-old son alongside her husband.Sarah shares how she balances training, work, and family commitments, the realities of time management, and the mindset shifts required to chase big goals responsibly. She also reflects on her early days in the sport, including the bike she started on versus the bike she rides now, and how her equipment evolved with her ambitions. Living in North America, Sarah walks us through the process of qualifying for her pro card and offers insight into how she strategically selects races to minimize disruption at home and at work. She also previews the races she's targeting to kick off her 2026 season.This conversation is packed with perspective and inspiration for Age Group Athletes dreaming big—right where they are.#TheEverydayIronman #ProTriathlete #AgeGroupAthlete #TriathlonLife #WorkingAthlete #TriathlonPodcast #WomenInTriathlon #IronmanJourneyFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Jason and Asher replace Rob with a much more humane and humble co-host, Elon Musk, to explore the feasibility of harnessing the entire sun to power AI superintelligence. We come away perplexed that not much of the excellent reporting on the environmental, energy, and financial risks of the AI boom address the googleplex-sized elephant in the room – that both AI success and failure lead to immiseration.

In Episode 85 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee explore the idea of accidental horror, moments where games not designed to be scary still managed to make players feel uneasy, isolated, or deeply uncomfortable.We break down how silence, emptiness, routine, scale, and sound design quietly transformed games like Subnautica, Shadow of the Colossus, and Minecraft into experiences that stuck with players long after they stopped playing.This episode isn't about jump scares or monsters. It's about the dread that comes from nothing happening and why that can feel worse than anything chasing you.If you've ever felt unsettled in a game that “wasn't supposed to be scary,” this episode explains exactly why.

It's time for another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! In this episode Doug is joined by guest co-host Seth Trammell as they tackle a Reddit post about workplace dynamics, specifically discussing the awkwardness of mandatory affirmation circles during lunch breaks.   Next, the dorks discuss video game morality, how players' emotional connections to NPCs (non-playable characters) have evolved over time. They chat about games like Shadow of the Colossus, Bioshock, Undertale, and Red Dead Redemption 2, where player decisions with NPCS lead to significant emotional consequences.    Things are wrapped up with a game segment just for Seth where he has to decide whether a statement about Final Fantasy is either fact or fantasy!   Check out our YouTube channel where you can watch our episodes!

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike and Ashley are joined by Eric Hansen, the organizer of the iconic Mackinac Bridge Swim. Eric has led the event for the past five years, operating it as a non-profit and donating proceeds back to the communities on both sides of the bridge. Spanning 4.5 miles and separating Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, this swim is as meaningful as it is challenging.Eric shares the story of first applying to be part of the event, explains why participant safety is his top priority, and details the requirement of a 40-minute mile swim to qualify. While it's not officially timed, swimmers cross an unforgettable “I Did It” line. You'll also hear about his handmade medals crafted from original bridge steel, the famous “slap them columns” mantra, wetsuit and fin rules, and why crystal-clear lake water and Hostess Cupcakes fuel the day.

Send us a textIn this episode of Coach's Clipboard, James pulls back the curtain on one of the most common mistakes he sees with runners and hybrid athletes:Training more… and getting worse.From extra miles and unnecessary intensity to skipping recovery and chasing fatigue, this episode breaks down why “more” often leads to stalled progress, injury, and burnout.You'll hear real coaching conversations, athlete patterns that show up every season, and the difference between productive fatigue and destructive overload.This is the stuff coaches talk about off the clock — the conversations that don't make Instagram.If you've ever felt stuck, constantly tired, or confused about why your fitness isn't translating on race day, this episode is for you.Topics covered:Why adding volume isn't the same as adding progressThe warning signs you're overtraining (before injury hits)The difference between being tired and being under-recoveredHow smarter training beats harder training every timeThis isn't about doing less.It's about doing what actually works.

This week is a special episode. Only David Senra could get me to be on the other side of the mic. Because I don't plan on being interviewed often, I wanted to share this conversation, which I so enjoyed, with our audience. It went in a very different direction than I expected. We barely talk about investing or interviewing. Instead, we talk about finding an organizing principle for life, undiscovered talent, and the idea that “the reward for good work is more work.” We also discuss the principles that guide how I think about building Invest Like the Best, Colossus, and Positive Sum. This conversation was originally recorded and released on David Senra, and I wanted to share on the Invest Like The Best feed as well. Please go follow what he's doing, there's no one like David.

Decoding Resource Grabs, AI Data Centers, and Everyday Resistance Strategies Against Emerging Control Systems In this eye-opening episode of Dangerous Dames, hosts Courtenay Turner and Dr. Lee Merritt dive into the chilling implications of President Trump's territorial ambitions, from annexing Greenland to integrating Canada as the 51st state and intervening in Venezuela's cartels. Drawing on century-old technocracy blueprints, they explore how these moves could build a North American "technate" – a expert-driven union fueling AI infrastructure and digital control. Amid personal stories of winter adventures and artificial snow, the dames unpack Ukraine's $800 billion reconstruction as a technocratic testbed, the environmental hypocrisy of data centers like xAI's Colossus in Memphis, and the rise of social engineering through institutions, taxes, and tokenized economies. They emphasize practical resistance: protesting local data centers, insisting on cash payments, and opting out of coercive systems to preserve freedom. And, don't miss their speculative takes on psychopathy, spiritual warfare, and media programming in shows like The OA and Star Trek's Borg. Courtenay and Dr. Lee overlay today's live Davos headlines on the original Technate map and reveal the technocratic blueprint unfolding in real time.

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we're joined by professional triathlete David Guenthardt for an honest and insightful conversation about life in—and beyond—the pro field. David shares why he recently decided to step away from competing as a professional, while making it clear he's not retiring from triathlon altogether.David opens up about the realities of racing as a pro, including the fact that he never made a living solely from the sport and has always worked a full-time “regular” job. He gives Age Group Athletes a rare behind-the-scenes look at how pros handle race signups, fees, and logistics, and explains key differences in draft zones and slipstreaming between pro and Age Group racing.We also dive into XTERRA, he answer our off-road triathlon questions, and talk about what's next on David's race calendar—including pacing duties at an upcoming half and full marathon.#EverydayIronman #TriathlonPodcast #AgeGroupAthlete #ProTriathlete #XTERRA #SwimBikeRunFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textStepping into a new season of training, leadership, or life often brings an unexpected feeling: Maybe I don't belong here.In this episode of Running with James, Coach James opens his clipboard and talks honestly about imposter syndrome—what it really is, why it shows up when you're leveling up, and why feeling unready is often the clearest sign that you're growing.Drawing from real coaching conversations with athletes navigating new goals, bigger stages, and higher expectations, this episode reframes discomfort as development and fear as part of the process—not a reason to quit.If you've ever hesitated to step into something new because you felt underqualified, behind, or unsure… this conversation is for you.Coach's Clipboard is a series dedicated to the conversations athletes need—but rarely hear on social media.Topics include: imposter syndrome, mindset, growth, endurance training, hybrid athletes, confidence through commitment, and long-term development.

Today we're breaking down Databricks, a $130B private company that helps companies collect, store, and process very large amounts of data, and then use that data to run analytics and train machine learning models. Databricks sits in the middle of modern data systems, connecting raw data pipelines to the tools teams use to analyze information and build AI. If you've worked on large-scale data or AI projects, there's a good chance Databricks was part of the stack, often operating behind the scenes. My guest is Alan Tu, portfolio manager and analyst at WCM Investment Management, which invested in Databricks in late 2024. Alan explains what Databricks actually does for customers, why it remains one of the least understood large private software companies, and how its academic origins and founding team shaped its evolution from an early data-engineering product into a broad commercial platform. We also discuss common misconceptions about the business, how Databricks fits into the modern AI stack, what has changed since the last time we covered the company, and how its scale, product strategy, and capital position differentiate it from competitors. Note: This conversation was recorded on December 10, 2025, so all numbers are reflective of what was publicly available on that date. Please enjoy this breakdown of Databricks.

Sometimes when we're disappointed in our running it can lead to more negatives. It can make us lose opportunities that might help us or be better for us in running.
