Why Is My Competitor SEO Outranking Me? Marketing Real Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike (Glossary)| Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.
Think you can crack the science first and worry about CMC when you "need it"? That's exactly how promising therapies die in regulatory limbo while patients keep waiting.Your breakthrough discovery means nothing if it's trapped in CMC chaos. While you're perfecting your molecular mechanism, competitors with inferior science but superior CMC strategy are racing past you to IND filing and ultimately, to patients.In this episode, I, David Brühlmann, your usual host, expose the dangerous delusion that's quietly bankrupting biotech startups: the belief that brilliant science automatically translates to successful drug development. Drawing from years of watching founders burn through millions because they treated CMC as an afterthought, I reveal why the smartest scientific minds often make the most catastrophic business decisions.Here's the hard truth you'll confront in this episode:The $50M Misconception: Why "CMC is just manufacturing" thinking destroys companies before they ever reach Phase II. While you're debating molecular targets, smart founders are building systematic CMC advantages that compress timelines and slash costs. The FDA doesn't care how elegant your science is if you can't demonstrate consistent, scalable manufacturing.The Brutal Mathematics of Delay: Systematic CMC approach: 10-12 months to IND, 85% hit timelines. "Figure it out later" approach: 15 months or more, and a much lower success rate. Every month you delay isn't just burning cash. If your therapy could help 10,000 patients annually, that's 833 people per month who don't get treatment because of preventable delays.Three Founder Myths That Kill Programs: The misconceptions about CMC being "basically just manufacturing," bringing in experts "when we need them," and CDMOs handling "the complicated stuff." Each myth leads to the same outcome: brilliant science trapped by business incompetence.Your Four-Action Emergency Protocol: Stop hoping CMC will work out. Start implementing systematic approaches. I give you four specific actions to execute this week, not someday when you're "ready," but right now while you can still prevent the crisis that kills 40% of biotech programs.The competitive reality: While you're listening to this episode, your biggest competitor just moved closer to IND filing. Maybe they completed process validation. Maybe they locked in analytical methods. The question isn't whether CMC matters. It's whether you'll master it before your competitors do.Next step:

We kick this one off AMA-style and with a tasty update: Buttered Maple Bacon Keto Brick is back as a seasonal drop this Sunday, the 14th, at noon Central. We talk fall vibes, pecan butter and chunks, and why the cacao-butter version hits just right. We also run through how we're leveling up the Natural State Savages show: bigger medals and trophies (plus a fun surprise), premium venue with dedicated dressing rooms and a backstage livestream, on-site shirt printing, top-tier vendors and a DEXA Fit tie-in, a smoother running order, and even family-friendly touches like getting the kids involved. My dad's smoking barbecue butts all night and Stan's grilling chicken, and judges' feedback will happen upstairs in a single session. Competitor registration closes Sunday the 21st so we can finalize bios and peak-week logistics; spectator tickets are on the same site.In the AMA, we cover a lot: sucralose isn't doomsday but we still lean to stevia/monk fruit; you don't need carbs to run if you're deeply fat-adapted (we reference our VO2 testing and staying mostly in Zone 3). For building, accept a reasonable body-fat window—about 12–15 percent for most guys—while pushing progressive overload. We reframe “cheat days” into on-plan free meals during non-prep phases. On a budget? Eggs, ground beef, and buying from local farmers still win, and bricks are cost-effective per calorie. Protein shakes are overrated versus real food, especially when isolates crank up GI issues. We close with a reverse-diet playbook (bump protein first, then fats, progress weekly, phase out refeeds as daily intake rises) and advice for perimenopause/menopause: eat enough, lift with intent, and prioritize muscle and bone.If this one sparks more questions, send them our way for the next AMA.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Keith Kirkpatrick says Adobe's (ADBE) earnings will be all about A.I. after hours on Thursday. More specifically, he believes Adobe needs to show how A.I. can translate to profits through its products and explain how it can be trustworthy with the evolving tech. Keith adds that the software giant faces emerging competition, including Canva, which is expected to IPO in late 2025 or early 2026.

Fill out this short listener survey to help us improve the show: https://forms.gle/bbcRiPTRwKoG2tJx8 Tri Dao, Chief Scientist at Together AI and Princeton professor who created Flash Attention and Mamba, discusses how inference optimization has driven costs down 100x since ChatGPT's launch through memory optimization, sparsity advances, and hardware-software co-design. He predicts the AI hardware landscape will shift from Nvidia's current 90% dominance to a more diversified ecosystem within 2-3 years, as specialized chips emerge for distinct workload categories: low-latency agentic systems, high-throughput batch processing, and interactive chatbots. Dao shares his surprise at AI models becoming genuinely useful for expert-level work, making him 1.5x more productive at GPU kernel optimization through tools like Claude Code and O1. The conversation explores whether current transformer architectures can reach expert-level AI performance or if approaches like mixture of experts and state space models are necessary to achieve AGI at reasonable costs. Looking ahead, Dao sees another 10x cost reduction coming from continued hardware specialization, improved kernels, and architectural advances like ultra-sparse models, while emphasizing that the biggest challenge remains generating expert-level training data for domains lacking extensive internet coverage.

Moving into a phase of lower training volume as a competitor taking things less seriously can be a difficult transition. CrossFit demands a great deal, and when you're accustomed to putting in the work to improve and progress, letting go of some of that progress, or even just slowing the rate of improvement, can feel like a big ask. Is it possible to improve at a lower volume than competitors typically maintain in such a high-volume sport? Keeping intensity and strength doesn't require much, but the ability to tolerate the demanding nature of competition and qualifiers can fade quickly. It really is a use-it-or-lose-it quality. In this episode, we explore the concept of a minimum effective programme, whether such an approach can actually work, and discuss the changes in goals and pursuits we often see among former CrossFit competitors.
