My guest today is Ramtin Naimi. Ramtin is the founder of Abstract Ventures, one of the most talked-about seed funds in Silicon Valley. What makes Ramtin's story so compelling isn't just his firm's remarkable track record—including early investments in Rippling, Solana, and dozens of unicorns—but also the unconventional path he took to get there. From running a hedge fund straight out of high school to filing for bankruptcy at 24, then bootstrapping his way to building a $2 billion AUM venture firm using AngelList and relentless hustle. Our conversation begins in an unexpected place—the art world—where Ramtin has become a sophisticated collector, learning from mentors like Michael Ovitz about market dynamics that surprisingly mirror venture capital. We dive deep into how the art world actually works, and Ramtin explains how these lessons about "masterpieces" apply directly to identifying power-law companies in venture. We go deep on his approach to early-stage investing and how he built Abstract as a co-investment vehicle alongside firms like Sequoia, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz. We explore his portfolio construction model, his philosophy on dilution-sensitive founders, and why he takes upwards of 30 pitch meetings per week to build his "frame of reference." We discuss why Abstract has the highest graduation rate from seed to Series A among all seed funds, and how this competitive advantage compounds over time. This is his first time telling his story, and we discuss the power of pattern recognition, relentless work ethic, and the unique opportunities available to those willing to start from scratch in Silicon Valley. Please enjoy this great conversation with Ramtin Naimi.

Healthy aging has been identified as an important trend that consumer healthcare companies need to respond to.

" I believed that what it took to get back to where I was year before was I needed to lose weight, so kinda overnight did a whole 180—was restricting food, was counting calories, just kind of trying to lose weight. But it was all under the guise of being dedicated to my sport," shares Kassidy Johnson, now a Division 1 collegiate sports dietitian. Johnson is not only a helping collegiate athletes fuel adequately and navigate their fear of weight gain, she's also training and competing at high level of sport as an unsponsored athlete. She's currently training for, and will soon compete in, the US National Track Championships. She recently ran an 800m PR of 2:00.7 after, as she put it, "significant weight gain" post-college. We talked with Johnson about: Working full time in collegiate sports while also training and competing at track meets How she knew she wasn't ready to be done running and competing, even when her NCAA eligibility was up and she had no sponsor Her experience in sports in high school, and how a basketball injury triggered what would become years of disordered eating and chronic injuries, while also eventually studying nutrition in college as a student athlete Finding a master's program in dietetics that also allowed her to continue running Why she came back to sports nutrition as a specialty, and what she loves helping athletes navigate The fear of weight gain that plagues so many athletes/sports (and, our general culture around "health") Nutrition trends she's seeing in college athletics and, of course, bicab.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 75-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,063 on turnover of 5.3-billion N-T. The market came under heavy pressure on Tuesday - tumbling more than 350-points - amid increasing investors concerns over U-S tariff threats. Analyst says many investors are now turning downbeat about the ongoing tariff talks with the U-S - as the negotiations have yet to yield any conclusions. Competing rallies planned ahead of recall votes The D-P-P and the K-M-T are set to hold competing rallies on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei later this week as they make a final push ahead of Saturday's batch of recall votes targeting 24 K-M-T lawmakers. The D-P-P will be holding a rally there on Thursday. And according to the "Oppose CCP, Safeguard Taiwan Alliance," a livestreamed (直播) rally will also be held on Friday night on Jinan Road. Meanwhile, the K-M-T is set to hold a rally on Friday night on Ketagalan Boulevard. Traffic restrictions will be in place in the area on both days. 12 imported cases of dengue fever reported last week The Centers for Disease Control is reporting 12 new imported dengue fever cases. According to the C-D-C, the cases were recorded from July 15 through 21 and it's the highest single-weekly total this year. The C-D-C's Epidemic Intelligence Center says the cases came Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia. A total of 109 confirmed imported cases of the mosquito-borne disease have been reported here in Taiwan so far this year and 91.7-per cent of them have come from Southeast Asia. Indonesia accounted for (佔) the most with 45 cases. US agrees trade & security deal with Philippines The US and the Philippines have agreed a trade deal that will see goods (商品) from the Southeast Asian country face a 19% tariff. US President Donald Trump announced the news following a visit from the nation's President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Syria Finds Thousand Deaths in Sectarian Violence A Syrian government investigation says more than 1,400 people died in sectarian (宗派的) violence along the coast earlier this year. The clashes began in March after armed groups loyal to former President Bashar Assad attacked security forces of the new government. Retaliation led to widespread violence against civilians, with sectarian motives largely driven by revenge. Meanwhile, recent violence in Sweida province has displaced over 128-thousand people. The Syrian Red Crescent reports dire (嚴重的;危急的) conditions with shortages of supplies and damaged infrastructure. Aid deliveries have started, but concerns remain about the long-term displacement. British Wreck Found on Scottish Beach Archaeologists have identified a 250-year-old shipwreck uncovered on a remote Scottish beach. The 18th-century naval warship and whaling vessel called the Earl of Chatham was revealed (露出) in February 2024 after a storm swept away sand. Local farmers and researchers worked together to recover the ship's 12 tons of oak timbers. Experts traced the ship's history using tree-ring dating (樹木年輪學) and historical records. It was originally named HMS Hind and it served in the American War of Independence before becoming a whaling ship. It was wrecked off Sanday in 1788. That was the I.C.R.T.

Competing Cultures - We all live in the tension of two kingdoms: the way of the world and the way of Jesus. In this message, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores the deeper meaning behind that line in The Lord's Prayer, “Your Kingdom Come,” and what it looks like to live under God's rule in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction. From the idols we subtly serve to the places we feel torn or compromised, this message is a call to clarity, surrender, and hope. If you're tired of straddling two cultures and longing to live with purpose and peace, this message is for you.
The universal tension between seeking comfort and pursuing growth creates an internal tug-of-war we all experience. What if this conflict isn't a flaw, but a feature of our neurobiology designed to serve our triving? Drawing from insights by neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and personal development pioneer Tony Robbins, this episode reveals how our brains are simultaneously wired for 2 opposing forces: homeostasis (maintaining balance and comfort) and reward-seeking (driving us toward exploration and growth). This biological reality explains why we can genuinely want two contradictory things at once - to stay comfortable and to challenge ourselves. What's particularly fascinating is how different people are naturally calibrated on this spectrum. Some individuals, like Richard Branson or Tony Robbins, appear wired for perpetual growth. For these "explorers," the answer to "When is it enough?" is simply "Never" - their fulfillment comes from the pursuit itself. Others naturally gravitate toward maintaining and improving existing conditions. Both tendencies serve important functions, and neither is inherently superior. Understanding your natural tendencies can dramatically improve decision-making. If you recognize yourself as growth-oriented, you can stop questioning why comfortable situations never satisfy you for long. For those working with others - whether as managers, partners, or parents - this understanding helps position people according to their strengths rather than fighting their nature. Share this episode with someone struggling with whether to stay comfortable or venture into something new.

Like the discovery of penicillin, it started with an unexpected moment in the lab.Charlie Childs and Madeline Eiken didn't set out to revolutionize drug testing — but a surprise breakthrough led them to create the world's first lab-grown human intestine and win the 2025 Rice Business Plan Competition's grand prize. Their startup, Intero Biosystems, could dramatically reduce clinical trial costs, improve drug safety and advance personalized medicine.Host Maya Pomroy '22 talks with Charlie and Madeline about the moment that sparked it all, their experience winning the 2025 Rice Business Plan Competition, and what's next for their fast-growing startup. Episode Guide:00:59 Meet the Founders: Madeline and Charlie01:49 Their Groundbreaking Innovation of a Lab-Grown Human Intestine03:24 The Journey From Lab to Startup07:06 The Accidental Discovery11:49 Competing in the Rice Business Plan Competition15:52 The Pitch and the Competition Experience19:14 Support and Success at Rice23:37 Future Plans and Advice for Aspiring EntrepreneursOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Charlie on the lab-grown intestines breakthrough04:43 [Charlie Childs]: I think, every day, like, as we develop this model, we are just more and more amazed how amazing, like, nature is and how smart science is. So, what we can do is we take these stem cells, which, like you said, can turn to anything in the body, and then we simulate human development. So, every day we give them… we literally call it Gatorade. Like, the cells live in this red liquid, and it truly is Gatorade. It has, like, glucose and proteins and other things that the cells need to live just like our bodies do. And each day, we give them different proteins that leads them down human developmental time until they turn into the miniature intestines. So, it's actually a lot more simple than you would think. And our breakthrough figured out that a single protein that we switched in this process caused this beautiful thing to form. So, the cells, we joke about this every day, like, the cells just know what to do and we just need to, like, push them in the right direction and they will figure out what to do.From lab partners to startup co-founders 04:06 [Madeline Eiken]: We just know that we work really well together. We know that we have really complementary skill sets. So my background is in engineering, and, while Charlie is a biologist, and so the way that we approach problems is quite different from each other, but we have this, like, really shared interest in commercializing that technology.How does the Rice Business Plan competition stand out in comparison to some others?18:12 [Charlie Childs]: It was like a whole other beast, and people kept warning us, like, leading up to it. They were like, “This is fun, but wait till you get to Rice.” It was just like the breadth of not only the startups, but also the judges and all the people from Rice. It was the investors — like, we were just blown away at how much support and interest there was. And I mean, our first pitch was crazy. Like, people were audibly like gasping and cheering, and it was just such a fun group to pitch to. And we just made so many wonderful connections, and I truly, truly, like, this is like launching us into another realm that we didn't even think we were gonna be able to be in. Both from, like, connections and investors, and just support — we're so thankful.What's next for Intero Biosystems?24:05 [Madeline Eiken]: We're really excited to be really laser-focused on de-risking the company and meeting our milestones with this fundraise. We were really lucky to basically double what we were hoping to raise. So that was really awesome and exciting for us. And because of that extra cushion that we have, we think we can push a lot faster on some of our milestones that we had been thinking about for seed rounds and even Series A. So, right now we're really focusing on onlining our manufacturing and figuring out how we're gonna make the organoids really reproducibly so we can get them into the hands of customers as quickly as we can. So, now the fun part of running the company is what we get to do.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Charlie Childs | LinkedInMadeline Eiken | LinkedInIntero Biosystems

Welcome to a special Tuesday-edition of Valley of Depth, powered by Integrate.John Conafay spent years inside the space and defense worlds, from Spire to Astranis to the U.S. Air Force, and saw the same problem everywhere: complex programs were managed with spreadsheets, slide decks, and…crossed fingers.

We discuss: Why defense programs are still run on outdated, fragmented toolsWhat Integrate actually does and how it's different from Smartsheet or Microsoft ProjectHow Conafay won a $25M Space Force contractThe architecture choices behind real-time collaboration in classified environmentsWhy internal tools and status quo software can't scale with complexityAnd much, much more… • Chapters •00:00 – Intro01:57 – John's background02:59 – What is Integrate?04:02 – Pain points in complex project management06:08 – John's interest in aerospace10:01 – Core product at Integrate11:20 – Why tools weren't implemented before12:50 – DoD project management & efficiency loss14:29 – Multiplayer coordination approach16:19 – Hardest integration problem17:40 – Security architecture20:17 – Go-to-market & government entry22:18 – $25M Space Force contract26:14 – Future Space Force goals27:59 – Government vs commercial customers29:16 – Pricing30:13 – Profitability, team, funding, scaling32:23 – Ideal investor33:20 – Competitors34:50 – Competing with internal tools36:01 – 10-year product vision37:36 – Strategic risks in the next decade39:42 – Hardest part of building Integrate41:34 – Misconceptions about working with the DoD42:55 – Advice for founders & younger self43:53 – John in another life • Show notes •John's socials — https://x.com/jconafayIntegrate's socials —https://x.com/Integrate_coIntegrate's website — https://integrate.co/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

We in America have a massive savings problem, and while cash flow is crucial for banking, you can't flow money you don't have. The proliferation of misinformation on social media has created confusion about what infinite banking actually is versus the investment schemes being marketed under its name.In this episode, a real-world case study demonstrates how properly capitalizing an infinite banking system enabled securing 5+ acres of farmland with a clean cash offer, competing against commercial developers. This example illustrates the power of having liquid capital when opportunity strikes, rather than immediately leveraging policies for investments.The conversation cuts through the TikTok noise to emphasize that banking is a higher-order activity than investing. Building a solid capital foundation should come before chasing returns, and true infinite banking focuses on taking over the financing function in your life, not arbitrage plays or rate-of-return strategies.The Land Deal Case Study: A practical demonstration of infinite banking's power when 5+ acres behind a new home hit the market. The ability to outcompete commercial builders with a clean cash offer, no contingencies, and quick closing came from having properly capitalized the system rather than immediately leveraging it for investments.Banking vs. Investing Hierarchy: Banking is emphasized as a higher-order operation than investing. You need to accumulate and preserve capital first, then understand how to control cash flow in and out of your system. Investing should only come after your protection and savings foundation is solid.The TikTok Problem: Addressing the misinformation spreading on social media about infinite banking being used for immediate arbitrage plays or laddering with IULs. True infinite banking focuses on taking over the financing function in your life, not chasing rates of return.Emergency-Opportunity Fund Strategy: Before using infinite banking for investments, establish clear tiers: emergency fund minimums, opportunity fund above that, and only then investment capital. Learn something well before risking money in it, whether that's real estate, options trading, or any other investment vehicle.➡️Chapters00:00 - Opening: America's Savings Problem01:00 - Estonia Trip & Real Estate Changes02:00 - The Land Opportunity Case Study04:00 - Competing with Commercial Developers06:00 - Quality of Life vs. Cash Flow Investments08:00 - The Simplicity of Policy Loans10:00 - Banking as Higher-Order Activity12:00 - The Arbitrage Misconception14:00 - Nelson Nash's Original Vision16:00 - Owning vs. Financing Assets18:00 - Security vs. Speculation20:00 - The Banker Always Wins22:00 - Policy Loan Mechanics Explained24:00 - Emergency vs. Opportunity vs. Investment Tiers26:00 - Learning Before Leveraging28:00 - Market Data Reality Check32:00 - Protection Before Wealth Building34:00 - Long-Term Market Returns Analysis36:00 - The Nuclear Power Analogy38:00 - Focus on Foundation, Not Hype40:00 - Taking Over Your Banking Function Got Questions?
