In this conversation, four-time competitor and 2-time color commentator Gavin McClurg and 9-time competitor and Red Bull athlete Tom De Dorlodot discuss Tom's continued recovery journey after a serious injury over a year ago snow-kiting in Norway and his recent emotional return to flying. They reflect on both of their recent Red Bull X-Alps experiences this June, exploring the dynamics of risk management in paragliding, the influence of gear and technology on performance, and the impact of media on the public perception of risk. The conversation also touches on the camaraderie among pilots and the future of the Red Bull X-Alps, emphasizing the balance between competitiveness and safety in high-stakes flying. We discuss the complexities of paragliding competitions, particularly the Red Bull X-Alps. They explore the pressures faced by athletes, the role of the organization when it comes to safety, and the tricky balance between racing and responsibility.
This week, we're drowning in the genius of our tech overlords as Elon Musk opens his Tesla diner, complete with $17 hotdogs and a blocked apartment view, while his $9 billion Neuralink startup claims it's a "disadvantaged" business. Not to be outdone, SpaceX is mad about other people's space junk, France is criminally probing X for algorithm manipulation, and Meta is giving the EU's AI code of practice a hard pass. Amid warnings the AI bubble is worse than the dot-com implosion, we've seen Replit delete a user's database, ChatGPT hallucinate features into existence, and the FDA's own AI fake medical studies. It's no wonder psychologists are identifying "AI Psychosis" while others hope the ensuing internet slop cures our addiction. Meanwhile, a Denver couple gets indicted for a crypto scam, a Colorado pastor blames God for his failed coin, and Trump signs a stablecoin bill, so that's all fixed now. To top it off, Lyft lets you block drivers and Uber finally lets women riders match with women drivers in the US.In Media Candy, we're turning the nostalgia dial to eleven with "This Is Spinal Tap" in 4K and a look back at 1994's best movies, a time before Spotify started polluting dead artists' pages with AI-generated songs. Netflix is also using generative AI, but we're still watching "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," "Hacks," "Wednesday," "Superman," "Sunday Best," and "Bookish." For your app fix, you can browse a glorious collection of 90s Geocities backgrounds or let Amazon's new Bee AI wearable listen to your every word, your choice. At the library, we're digging into Michael Palin's "Python Years" diaries. Finally, we pour one out in our closing shout-outs for George Kooymans of Golden Earring, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.

In this episode we talk about strategic financing options. There are a lot of ways to raise money for your startup, and corporate investors (strategics) can be a good option. Are they right for you? What are the pros and cons of strategic investment? We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:Should you raise money from a competitor?What about raising from your customers?Are government grants a good idea?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, Near Horizon www.nearhorizon.vcAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: CEO, Navi www.heynavi.comReminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: Should you raise money from a competitor?Sounds risky, huh? Your instinct is probably right—this is a red flag! Conduct a principled evaluation. Recognize the opportunity while weighing strategic upside versus structural risk.Here's the key: your competitors' motivation to invest in you is likely not aligned with your needs. They are not loyal to you, thus there are other incentives guiding their interest in investing. There are potential espionage risks and conflicting incentives that can cause significant issues later, especially if your startup becomes big.The good news: you can say "no!" Competitor interest is a signal. If competitors want in, perhaps other better-suited investors will too.Q2: What about raising from your customers?Customer interest is validating, but tread carefully. Customer investors are risky. Information rights can severely hurt your negotiating position. Furthermore, if your customer-turned-investor churns, that can significantly hurt your market credibility.Delay such conversations until later in the round. If you decide to raise capital from your customers, structure the investments thoughtfully, possibly through RUVs or uncapped terms. Clearly define boundaries to help manage risks while preserving relationships.Q3: Are government grants a good idea?Grants are not fundraising red flags. In fact, securing a grant can often signal market validation. Investors love dilution-free capital. However...while dilution-free capital is attractive, beware of grants that work outside your strategic roadmap. This can become a distraction. While grants demonstrate external demand, their slow processes can divert focus from iterating on core product-market fit milestones. Grants are strategically advantageous only if they accelerate your core objectives rather than redirect them.So, ask yourself: "Does the grant move us forward on our roadmap? Or does it give us a new roadmap?"Your answer to that question gives you all the clarity you need.

It's the time of the year when we feature some of the smart conversations that occur around the country through the Eisenhower Series College Program. This episode features Christiana Crawford, Jody Daigle, and Amanda Raney as they examine the complex relationship between the United States and China. They joined podcast editor Ron Granieri to share their different yet complementary perspectives. Christiana emphasized the military's goal is to build strength to preserve peace, Jody drew parallels to the Peloponnesian War by highlighting fear, honor, and interest as drivers of conflict, and Amanda discussed the inherent tension of competing with China while also collaborating with it in critical fields like medicine. The speakers agreed that this complex relationship, full of both cooperation and competition, must be carefully managed. I have a much deeper understanding of that threat now after my studies here at the War College… I've wrestled with it and I've decided it's not a tension that can be resolved. It has to be managed. Christiana Crawford is a colonel, an operational planner and Western Europe Foreign area officer in the U.S. Marine Corps reserve. She was commissioned in 2004 from the U.S. Naval Academy. She recently served as the lead planner for Marine Corps Force modernization efforts in the Pacific. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Jody Daigle was commissioned from the U.S. Military Academy in 2002 and is a colonel that has served for 23 years in the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces roles, with several combat deployments to Iraq and the Southern Philippines. His Indo-Pacific focus includes military capacity building and diplomatic service at U.S. embassies in India, China, and the Philippines. He is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Amanda Ranney is a colonel and a medical operations planner in the Washington Army National Guard. She specializes in planning medical support for combat forces and leading medical units. Most recently, she commanded a multifunctional logistics battalion. In her civilian career, she manages clinical trials developing new cancer medicines. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College.

In episode 56 of 'Lifting, Running, and Living,' the hosts dive into two hot fitness topics: the creatine gummy scandal and a controversial moment at a Hyrox competition.

OpenAI officially launches the ChatGPT "Agent," a new feature allowing users to delegate complex digital tasks directly to AI, enabling autonomous online actions and decision-making.Users can assign Agent tasks like travel planning, event bookings, detailed research, and personal schedule management, all without needing continuous interaction beyond the initial command.ChatGPT Agent learns and adapts to individual preferences over time by analyzing previous user choices, creating a more personalized and efficient experience.Integration with external services via APIs allows the Agent to seamlessly navigate multiple platforms, automatically completing bookings, research, or other digital tasks independently.OpenAI has secured key partnerships with travel platforms, booking services, financial tools, and productivity apps to streamline these integrations and enhance usability.Security and data privacy have become priority focuses, with OpenAI employing encryption and implementing clear data-usage policies and protective guidelines for sensitive personal information.Built-in protective measures include preset limits to prevent unauthorized high-risk actions or financial transactions without explicit user verification and oversight.Early user experiences with the ChatGPT Agent will critically influence public adoption and trust in AI-based autonomy; initial successes will likely expand future reliance and adoption.Competitors, including Google's Gemini Assistant and Meta's autonomous AI tools, are launching similar automated agent services, intensifying pressure on OpenAI to deliver superior performance and privacy protections.Analysts caution that long-term success requires consistent reliability, accuracy in task execution, and user confidence in AI decisions, aspects OpenAI pledges to address through regular updates and performance improvements.OpenAI's release of ChatGPT Agent marks an important advancement toward practical, widely accessible autonomous AI tools intended for daily user productivity.Listen to this episode for a detailed exploration of OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, how it functions, and what it means for AI-driven task automation.

A story about choosing technical battles that create unbeatable unit economics—while competitors bleed money.This episode is for SaaS founders tired of chasing short-term monetization—and wondering if there's a smarter way to build something customers actually fight to keep.Most SaaS companies fail because they take technical shortcuts.They outsource infrastructure to move fast, then discover they can't compete on price.Richard White, CEO of Fathom, took a different path. He's the inventor of the feedback tab and builder of UserVoice before founding Fathom in 2020. White spent two years building infrastructure that competitors shortcut with expensive third-party services—creating an economic moat that lets him "bully competitors" out of the market.And this inspired me to invite Richard to my podcast. We explore how building instead of buying infrastructure creates economic warfare advantages. Richard shares insights about choosing technical battles that matter, why he'd rather have angry customers than apathetic ones, and his "external validation addiction" that drives breakthrough products. You'll discover how owning your full stack lets you set pricing rules that competitors can't match.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – They don't create customers—they create fans – They focus on the essenceRichard's story is proof that traction often starts by doing what most others avoid.Here's one of Richard's quotes that captures his contrarian philosophy:"We're the only people that run all of our own infrastructure outside of the LLMs, and that allows us a huge advantage economically, because our costs are so much lower than everyone else, which allows us to basically bully all the other competitors by setting the bar for what you can do on free."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why building infrastructure beats buying third-party servicesWhat choosing technical battles strategically actually requiresWhen lower unit economics become competitive weaponsWhy economic moats trump feature moats every timeGuest InfoFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Richard White, CEO of FathomWebsite: https://fathom.video

In fact, banks and the post office are recommending against it. Listen as I reveal why. https://www.businessinsider.com/post-office-check-fraud-mailing-be-careful-usps-scam-2023-6 There are a lot of weird but true stories out there. And this episode offers you several of them!. For instance, how one U.S. President prevented his own assassination and how Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr's unique drumming style is due to exorcisms. And, how the Los Angeles Dodgers paid someone to cosmically beam positive messages to players during games from 3000 miles away. And there's more... These stories all come from my guest Dan Schreiber. Dan hosts a podcast called There is No Such Thing As a Fish (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-such-thing-as-a-fish/id840986946) and he is author of the book The Theory of Everything Else: A Voyage Into the World of the Weird (https://amzn.to/43eruph) How the very best athletes perform at their peak can teach us all something about life and how to do our best at what we do.

Residential solar has had a rough couple of years. In 2024, the market contracted 31% and major companies like Sunpower and Titan went bankrupt. Now, only halfway through 2025, Sunnova and Mosaic have filed for bankruptcy, too. The market has suffered from low demand, high interest rates, and major policy changes like California's cuts to net metering. So now that the One Big Beautiful Bill phases out key tax credits, what's next for the battered industry? In this episode, Shayle talks with Julien Dumoulin-Smith, who leads equity research for power, utilities, and clean energy at Jefferies. Shayle and Julien cover topics like: Why the IRA eased — but didn't solve — the troubled market's key challenges, like high interest rates, tax equity challenges, and intense competition How debt prevented companies from weathering rising input costs How the final version of the One Big Beautiful Bill avoided the worst case scenarios for residential solar Whether the bill will impact utility or residential solar more How the shift toward leasing will benefit larger companies over small, local installers The impact of rising electricity prices Resources: Latitude Media: Sunnova's debt problem Latitude Media: Is residential solar poised for a comeback?

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Russ Hawkins, a seasoned three-time CEO renowned for reviving and scaling struggling startups into profitable, exit-ready companies. With a background rooted in sales and a practical MBA earned through hands-on transformation work alongside McKinsey and AT&T, Russ shares his battle-tested playbook for turning chaos into clarity.Together, they unpack Russ's journey from humble beginnings to orchestrating successful pivots in tech companies across hardware, software, and analytics. He reveals how he assesses leadership, evaluates products, and identifies untapped markets — even amidst fierce competition and failing patents. Russ emphasizes the importance of listening to customers, understanding competitors, and making quick, strategic decisions based on data.The conversation also explores signs that a pivot is needed, how to test for willingness to pay, and what makes a company attractive for acquisition — especially in the age of private equity dominance. This is a must-listen for founders, investors, and anyone steering companies through change, disruption, or scale.TakeawaysTurnarounds require deep customer and competitor understanding — listen more than you speak.Growth rate and churn are two of the clearest signs a pivot is necessary.Don't underestimate small, underserved market segments — they can be goldmines.Losing patent protection should trigger urgent strategic reassessment.Price high and validate value — underpricing can signal poor quality.Strategic pivots often mean repositioning your product, not reinventing it.Talk to everyone: competitors, customers, staff, and trusted advisors.Testing willingness to pay should be structured around real customer problems.Cultivate private equity relationships early — most exits go this route now.Always “lose quickly” in sales — avoid staying too long in the friend zone.Leadership assessments should focus on shared values, not just resumes.A strong turnaround starts with understanding the product's true capabilities.Chapters00:00 Competitive Weaknesses and Sales Foundations01:30 The Accidental CEO vs. the Professional CEO03:45 Russ's Background: Firefighting Roots to Sales Leadership06:30 The AT&T Breakup and Working with McKinsey09:00 First CEO Role and Million-Dollar Exit11:00 Pivoting a Failing Video Tech Company13:00 Losing Patent Protection and Facing Better-Funded Competitors15:00 Learning from Competitors and Going Where They Aren't17:00 Talking to Customers, Founders, and Trusted Advisors20:30 Finding Untapped Markets with Existing Technology23:00 Pivoting Hardware to Telecom Use Cases25:00 The Benefits of Private Equity vs. Venture Capital27:00 When a Pivot is Necessary: Signals and External Pressures29:30 Learning from Mistakes and Backing the Wrong Tech31:30 Quick Evaluation of Leadership and Sales Team Fit35:00 Researching New Market Opportunities with Your Team39:00 Willingness to Pay and the Dangers of Undervaluing43:00 The Case for Testing High Prices First45:00 Strategic Exits: PE Ecosystem vs. Traditional Acquirers48:30 Why Strategic Buyers Need to See Product Fit50:00 When Founders' Emotional Attachment Skews Valuation53:00 Russ's Favorite Learning Activity: Reading Biographies55:00 Final Advice: Know Your Product, Know Your Customer, Prioritize RelationshipsRuss Hawkins's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russhawkins/Russ Hawkins's Website:https://www.agilenceinc.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright
