Note: we recorded our first podcast on Feb 26th, 2016. This episode reflects that date. At the time, we actually banked a few episodes, and decided to hold off a week to do that.

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.

Da glaubt man könne “nur” über eine wirklich gute State of Play von Sony sprechen und dann knallen da plötzlich die Neuigkeiten aus dem Himmel. Aber alles von vorne. Bevor wir über die News sprechen, am Mikrofon der 205. Episode sind Maurice, Olu und Chris für euch, berichten wir von unseren zuletzt gespielten Spiele! Dragon's Dogma 2 Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead God of War: Sons of Sparta Nioh 3 ??? – Ranking (da müsst ihr schon einschalten) Los geht’s mit einem Bericht aus einer koreanischen Wirtschaftszeitung. Nexon soll angeblich an einem StarCraft-Shooter arbeiten. Fans der Marke dürften sich freuen?! Aufgrund der aktuellen Hardwarepreise dürfte sich der Release der PlayStation 6 auf 2028 oder 2029 verschieben, das wird vermutet und auch die Nintendo Switch 2 könnte im Preis steigen. Das die Künstliche Intelligenz in den vergangenen Jahren unglaubliche Fortschritte gemacht hat, wissen wir. Manche davon sind definitiv gut, jedoch ist die Schattenseite enorm groß. Manipulierte Videoclips, KI generierte Musik die die Charts bei Streaminganbietern erobert uvm. Die Unity-Engine soll im März mit dem Zusatz “Unity AI” auf der Game Developer Conference in Form einer Beta vorgestellt werden. So soll es damit möglich sein, ohne Programmierkenntnisse Casual-Games zu entwickeln. The Elders Scrolls VI setzt auf die 3. Version der hauseigenen Creation Engine von Bethesda und ob das so gut ist … weiß ich nicht. Gut ist auf jeden Fall nicht, dass wieder Stellen bei Ubisoft gestrichen werden. Was ebenso hohe negative Wellen geschlagen hat – Sony schließt Bluepoint Games. Die Könige hinter diversen großartigen Remakes wie z. B. Shadow of the Colossus oder zuletzt Demon’s Souls. Mir fiel echt die Kinnlade runter und die Meinung von Olu und Maurice dazu hört Ihr in der Folge. Ein Erdbeben gab’s auch bei Microsoft! Phil Spencer und Sarah Bond sind raus! Überspitzt gesagt übernimmt nun die KI! Absolut wilde Woche und wir hoffen euch hat die Folge wie immer gut gefallen. Lasst gerne ein Like da, abonniert den Podcast. Empfehlt uns weiter, schreibt uns per Mail oder in den sozialen Netzwerken. Wir freuen uns immer tierisch von euch zu hören! Bleibt den Pixeln treu!
Die gute Nachricht vorweg: Mikes PC läuft wieder! Es war das Netzteil. Wenn es schon die Einleitung mit der guten Nachricht gibt, muss es natürlich auch schlechte Nachrichten geben und davon leider einige. Derzeit gibt es einen Verkaufsstopp für Geräte von Asus und Acer. Aber warum? Nokia (oder was davon heute noch übrig ist) hat die beiden Hersteller verklagt wegen Verletzung von Patenten, die den Video-Codec H.265 bzw. HEVC betreffen. Und falls euch das bekannt vorkommt: Ja, das macht Nokia öfter. Sony wollte auch mal wieder in die Schlagzeilen und hat Bluepoint Games geschlossen. Die haben zuletzt das exzellente Remake zu Demon’s Souls zum Start der PS5 herausgebracht und galten als absolute Meister ihres Faches. Was haben die seitdem gemacht? Sie haben an God of War: Ragnarök mitgearbeitet und danach ein Service-Game im God-of-War-Universum entwickelt. Das wurde natürlich schon letztes Jahr eingestellt. Dabei gäbe es so viele Titel in der Playstation-Historie, die sich für ein Remake oder Remaster anbieten würden… Und weil Microsoft es anscheinend nicht ertragen kann, wenn Sony der Buhmann ist, ließen sie kurz vor unserer Aufnahme eine kleine Bombe platzen: Phil Spencer, CEO von Microsoft Gaming, ist zurückgetreten, direkt mit ihm Sarah Bond, President of Xbox. Nachfolgerin von Spencer wird Asha Sharma, bisher President of CoreAI Product bei Microsoft, war also für die ganzen tollen „AI“-Produkte wie Copilot und Recall verantwortlich. Das scheint auch nur die Spitze des Eisbergs zu sein. Zum Ausklang haben Mo und Mike „Norse: Oath of Blood“ gespielt, Rundentaktik gewürzt mit Rollenspiel-Elementen im Wikinger-Setting. Mike hat direkt wieder Lust auf die Serie „Vikings“ bekommen. Viel Spaß mit Folge 296!

Another week, another day of industry changing news as Heads of XBOX Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond resign from Microsoft, were they ousted, what's the future of XBOX? In the bad news competition, Sony shutters Bluepoint Studios, makers of the Demon's Souls remake and Shadow of the Colossus remake.

This XMTR Radio Hour is a little different. Lucia speaks to Garry Hunter the director of arts and heritage organisation Fitzrovia Noir - and composer/violinist Jack Campbell about a new commission from the educational foundation that has grown out of the Tommy Flowers community pub in Poplar, East London. The pub's namesake Tommy Flowers designed and built Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer, to help decipher the encrypted messages sent by the German High Command during WW2. 23-year-old composer and musician Jack M.Campbell has recently written and extensively performed a piece inspired by Alan Turing's Bombe. With a bursary from TFF, he has now composed a score responding to Colossus, the computer built by Tommy Flowers to greatly expedite the reading of Lorenz traffic. The code was cracked by mathematician Bill Tutte, who, after the war, went on to teach at two universities in Canada, Jack's home country. Following the conversation about outsiders, music, algorithms and maths, is an exclusive rendition of this composition: ‘Colossus' by Jack Campbell.
Episode Description: After gaining Aunt Murgatroyd's reluctant approval to work with Mr. Conklin, Max and Molly face their biggest coordination challenge yet: shutting down five POG servers across time simultaneously. When Conklin proposes uploading a secret virus instead, the team must weigh the mathematical probabilities of Plan A versus Plan B. As each Problem Solver races against a 30-minute timer in different historical eras, they discover even the smartest strategy can be hacked. Math Concepts: Fractions and decimals; Percent increase and comparative reasoning; Time calculations & subtraction under pressure; Unit rate and pace (distance ÷ time = speed); Remainders and fractional divisionHistory/Geography Concepts: • FAO Schwarz toy store (1998 era retail culture); • Zildjian cymbals and Ottoman-era metalworking (1623 Istanbul); Napier's Bones (early calculating tool); Colossus of Rhodes (Ancient Greece); Computer viruses and cybersecurity basics
In today's Daily Fix:First-party PlayStation support studio Bluepoint Games has been shuttered by Sony. The studio most notably developed the remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, both of which were well-received. They also assisted in several game collections such as the Metal Gear Solid HD collection, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and others. Bluepoint was acquired by Sony in 2021 and assisted in the development of God of War Ragnarök. In other news, Bethesda director Todd Howard teased a return to "classic style" Bethesda in Elder Scrolls 6, and giving examples of exploration done in games like Fallout 3 and 4, Skyrim, and others. And finally, Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge has teased something God of War related for "late summer."
This is my second conversation with Josh Kushner, founder and managing partner of Thrive Capital. I recorded this conversation in October after publishing the Colossus cover story about him and Thrive. Given the overwhelming response, we created some breathing room before releasing it. Josh started Thrive in 2011. The firm now manages approximately $50 billion with a very small investment team. What makes Thrive different is how concentrated they are and how involved they get with their portfolio companies. We cover the iconic investments that defined Thrive: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. Josh explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on. Josh also talks about building the firm, why they keep the team small, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to do their best work. He shares personal stories that shaped him, including his grandmother's experience surviving the Holocaust, and lessons from Stan Druckenmiller, Jon Winkelried, and others at formative moments in Thrive's history. Please enjoy my great conversation with Josh Kushner.

Before this episode gets too regrettable—even villainous—The Guys bring news from the world of geekdom. Art joins Jay's travel planning service and suggests a Disney-Star Trek (you read that right: Trek, not Wars) mashup show somewhere in Seattle. Robbie asks Siri about her underlying software and, after a virtual slap, she confesses that she's now Googling it. Jay reveals the source of the face behind Yoda and discovers a makeup artist who might just have the highest Geek Index yet. But go away, you should not. After a brief respite, Jay is back with a Regrettable Roundup of Supervillains you've probably never heard of and will likely soon forget: Bloor, Brickbat, and Colossus. Oh my. Watch out for sketchy want ads, flying gaseous bricks, and Plantaliens.
In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we're joined by Adam Jones—recording remotely while stuck in the Atlanta airport—for a wide-ranging conversation that Age Group Athletes will truly relate to. Adam shares how his endurance journey began not with triathlon, but with RAGBRAI, the iconic 7-day bike ride across Iowa, sparking a lifelong passion for endurance sports.Adam walks us through his progression into triathlon, starting with a Sprint distance race and a Top 5 Age Group finish, moving up to Olympic distance, a weather-shortened bike at Ironman 70.3 Des Moines, and ultimately tackling Ironman Wisconsin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. It's a deeper, looser, and more candid discussion that digs into his rare position straddling both Marvel and DC, why Iron Man was the one Marvel character he couldn't pass up, and how revisiting Tony Stark's origin reframed the entire run for him.

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.

Episode Description: The day starts with Max trying to score goals on the soccer field – but ends with the Problem Solvers trying to meet their goal of finding the next server. This takes them back to Ancient Greece and the legendary Colossus of Rhodes statue. There the foursome of Max, Molly, Katrina and Charlene use unit conversions, time calculations, and problem-solving to outsmart history without changing it. But when a shadowy figure appears, they realize the POGs may be closer than ever. Math Concepts: Circumference and diameter of a circle; Using π (Pi) to calculate diameter from circumference; Unit conversion (feet to inches, cubits to inches/feet); Area comparison using real-world objects (soccer balls vs. goal size); Multiplication strategies (mental math using ×11); Time calculationsHistory/Geography Concepts: The Colossus of Rhodes and the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; Ancient Greece (Rhodes, 230 BCE); The Siege of Rhodes; Ancient measurement systems (cubits); Greek mythology (Helios, Oracle of Delphi)
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. Enjoy! For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by Ramp.
