Allianzen für die Stadtgestaltung: Baumentscheid und Berlin Werbefrei zu GastWas passiert, wenn sich die Köpfe hinter drei der prägendsten Berliner Volksinitiativen an einen Tisch setzen?In dieser besonderen Folge von Ring frei! begrüßen wir zwei Schwergewichte der Berliner Zivilgesellschaft: Sarah Mohs von der Initiative Berlin Werbefrei und Heinrich Strößenreuther, den „Serien-Initiator“, der nach dem Fahrradentscheid 2015 zuletzt den Baumentscheid zum Erfolg geführt hat. Gemeinsam ziehen wir Bilanz: Während die Initiative Berlin autofrei mehr als drei Jahre auf den Sieg vor dem Landesverfassungsgericht aufgrund dessen Nichtbesetzung warten musste, haben Sarah und Heinrich ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen mit dem Berliner Senat gemacht: Der Werbeentscheid, bereits 2017 gegründet musste noch länger warten – der Baumentscheid hingegen war in Rekordzeit erfolgreich. Daher sind aktuell nur die ersten beiden Initiativen in der Phase der massiven Mobilisierung: Beide benötigen 240,000 Unterschriften bis zum 08. Mai. 2026.Die Schwerpunkte dieser Episode:Der „Baum-Frieden“: Heinrich Strößenreuther erklärt, wie es dem Baumentscheid durch eine radikal non-konfrontative Strategie gelang, die zweite Sammelphase zu überspringen und ein „120-Prozent-Gesetz“ direkt mit Schwarz-Rot auszuhandeln.Sieben Jahre im Wartesaal: Sarah Mohs schildert den steinigen Weg von Berlin Werbefrei. Seit 2017 kämpft die Initiative gegen juristische Sabotage, verschleppte Prüfungen und „Märchenrechnungen“ des Senats über entgangene Werbeeinnahmen.Die Kosten-Lüge: Wir vergleichen die Zahlen. Warum regt sich der Senat über 31-48 Millionen Euro Kosten für weniger Werbung auf, während er gleichzeitig vergleichbare Summen Steuergeld in ein ineffizientes und nicht kostendeckendes Anwohnerparken buttert?Mut zum „Verbot“: Heinrich Strößenreuther plädiert für eine offensive Rhetorik und ein kraftvolles Bekenntnis zu kluger Ordnungspolitik. Statt sich als „Verbotspartei“ abstempeln zu lassen, sollten wir klar benennen, was wir verbieten wollen: Den „Vorstadt-Schmarotzern“ das Recht zu nehmen, die Innenstadt mit Abgasen, Lärm, Verkehrsgewalt und Flächenfraß zu belasten.Endspurt 2026: Warum die kommenden sieben Wochen entscheidend sind und wir jede Hand brauchen, um die nötigen Unterschriften für ein lebenswerteres Berlin zu sammeln.Diese Folge ist ein Deep Dive in die Werkzeugkiste der direkten Demokratie. Wir diskutieren über Macht, strategisches Nicht-Gendern, die Psychologie von Wahlplakaten und die Vision einer Stadt, die wieder den Menschen gehört – ohne blinkende Screens und Blechlawinen.Hört rein, lasst euch inspirieren und ab auf die Straße zum Sammeln!

Dublin City Council yesterday launched the 2026 Crowdfund Dublin City Programme, continuing its support for community?led projects that strengthen and improve neighbourhoods across the city. The launch took place at The Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, formally opened the Spring funding round. Since the programme was first introduced in September 2023, it has received an amazing response, not only from project creators but also from the communities who have backed and supported these ideas. Dublin City Council was delighted to welcome previous project creators to this year's launch event. So far, €228,249 has been raised across 39 projects, supported by 1,869 backers. The projects have been wide?ranging — from sports equipment and community gardens to murals, art exhibitions, chef training to help people into employment, cultural and historical publications, and initiatives promoting recycling and the circular economy. Crowdfunding has offered a unique way for groups across the city to raise funds, and it has encouraged the Council to work in new and more collaborative ways. The success of the programme to date shows how powerful this approach can be for communities of all sizes. Speaking at the event, the Lord Mayor said, "The Crowdfund Dublin City Programme continues to highlight the creativity, passion and commitment that exists within communities across our city. Each year, residents and local groups come together to imagine new ways of enhancing their neighbourhoods and building community spirit." "As we launch the 2026 round, I am excited to see the ideas that will emerge—projects that reflect the values and energy of the people who call Dublin home. This programme gives communities the tools and support they need to create meaningful change." The event also featured insights from previous programme participants, Mary Fleming, Change Clothes Project, Karla Dragic, Mums Hub and Dean Hayden, Ballymun Athletics, who shared their experiences of crowdfunding and delivering successful community projects. Delivered in partnership with Spacehive, the Crowdfund Dublin City Programme supports projects of all sizes, from sustainability and biodiversity initiatives to wellbeing, cultural and public?realm improvements. No previous fundraising experience is required. Misha Dhanak, CEO of Spacehive, said, "Each year, we are inspired by the dedication of residents throughout Dublin who want to improve their local areas and bring creative, innovative ideas to life." "Spacehive is committed to helping every project creator succeed, with workshops, one?to?one guidance, and resources available throughout the process. We look forward to supporting this year's projects as they grow into impactful improvements across the city." Residents and community groups can now begin submitting ideas to the Spacehive platform, where they can attract public support and may qualify for match funding from Dublin City Council.

David cuenta el salto desde OnePlus a Nothing, y repasa los hitos recientes: crecimiento, convertirse en unicornio y la ronda que les llevó a una valoración de ~1.3B. Profundizamos en dónde está la diferenciación real cuando casi todos compiten con los mismos componentes: diseño, software y una filosofía de producto que evita el “specs por precio”. También entramos en su visión de IA: un sistema operativo que se adapte al usuario (no al revés), y productos como Essential Space y Essential Playground para automatizar recordatorios y permitir “live coding” de widgets con IA.Entramos también en lo que no se ve: fabricación, cadena de suministro, por qué no tiene sentido sacar un flagship cada año, y cómo se mueve una marca de hardware entre retailers, marketplaces y operadores. David nos explica cómo trabajan mercados como España, Alemania e India, y el impacto de logística, transporte y aranceles en una industria donde el tiempo importa tanto como el margen.

In this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Chris Lustrino sits down with Jason Fishman, founder of Digital Niche Agency (DNA), one of the earliest and most active “capital raising agencies” in equity crowdfunding. (00:00–02:45) |Jason breaks down what actually drives successful Reg CF and Reg A+ campaigns in 2026: setting traffic goals, understanding conversion math (average investment size vs. how many investors you need), and building a multi-channel funnel across Meta, Google, newsletters, retargeting, webinars, events, and organic content. (04:25–10:06) They also unpack the “crowd effect” that causes many campaigns to look flat mid-raise before spiking near the deadline. (10:19–12:30) Finally, they explain why consistent updates and investor relations between rounds can materially influence outcomes—both by improving trust and by strengthening repeat-investor participation over time. (23:04–25:55)

The Van, the Laptop, and the Lie We Tell Ourselves The van smells like reheated coffee, gaffer tape, and the kind of optimism that only survives because musicians are stubborn. The band is parked outside a rehearsal space they pay for by the hour, and instead of loading in, they're huddled around a laptop like it's a campfire. The screen is a crowdfunding draft page with reward tiers, shipping promises, and a stretch goal that reads like a prayer you're trying to pass off as strategy. Nobody says “begging,” but everybody feels it. They keep editing the same paragraph, trying to make it sound confident without sounding cold, grateful without sounding desperate. The band can play a room, write hooks that stick, and sell merch when the vibe is right, but asking for money this way always makes the music feel smaller. http://www.makingascene.org

Nos sentamos con Beatriz Barroso, Head of Marketing y Comunicación en Fundeen, para analizar un sector fascinante: el crowdfunding de proyectos de energías renovables y sostenibilidad. Fundeen es la plataforma líder de coinversión sostenible en España, regulada por la CNMV, y su modelo de marketing es uno de los más complejos que hemos visto: marketplace, fintech, lanzamientos tipo "drop" y captación hiperlocal, todo a la vez.Beatriz nos abre las puertas de cómo se capta inversores para proyectos sostenibles cuando cada producto es radicalmente distinto del anterior, distinto promotor, distinta tecnología, distinto territorio y distinto perfil de riesgo. Trabajan con promotores del calibre de Endesa, Naturgy y Statkraft, y han logrado hitos como financiar 820.000 € en solo 17 minutos (sin llegar a activar paid media) o cerrar el primer proyecto de 5 millones de euros de coinversión sostenible en España. Un dato brutal: el 60% de sus inversores repite.Si te interesa la captación de inversores, el marketing en sectores regulados, las estrategias de lanzamiento o cómo se construye un marketplace de inversión sostenible desde cero, esta entrevista te va a aportar muchísimo valor. Gracias Beatriz por compartir tu visión y experiencia con tanta transparencia. Y a ti, que nos escuchas… ¡Esperamos que lo disfrutes tanto como nosotros!Enlaces de interés:

What happens when the people we're supposed to trust break their promises?This week's episode dives into some uncomfortable truths about crowdfunding culture. The conversation kicks off with James Van Der Beek's trust-funded ranch purchase and a professional football player soliciting donations despite earning millions, both examples of wealthy people exploiting public generosity. (Because apparently having money doesn't mean you want to spend it.) The discussion gets particularly heated around a Buffalo business called Biker Bar, which raised significant funds before relocating to Miami without fulfilling orders.Beyond the crowdfunding drama, there's also talk about stolen phones at fitness classes, Valentine's Day dinner at Prescott's Provisions, and a touching memorial for a woman who dined out seven nights a week just to be around people. The speakers also share their thoughts on The 'Burbs remake, which they found disappointing, and their take on the new season of Love is Blind.

#783 What happens when a side hobby turns into a life-changing business built around passion, risk, and a whole lot of bees? In this episode, host Britlyn Williams sits down with Nicole Buergers, founder of Bee2Bee Honey Collective, to unpack how a simple beekeeping hobby turned into a full-time, purpose-driven business. Nicole shares her leap from B2B internet marketing into urban beekeeping, the realities of monetizing a passion, and the challenges — both physical and mental — of building a business from scratch. From crowdfunding her launch and finding her first customers to learning boundaries, community building, and what it really means to work with nature, this conversation is an honest look at entrepreneurship, sustainability, and designing a life around what you love! What we discuss with Nicole: + Turning a hobby into a business + From B2B marketing to beekeeping + Urban beekeeping fundamentals + Mentorship as a revenue stream + Crowdfunding the business launch + Building a local beekeeper community + Physical realities of beekeeping + Learning to say no + Selling hyperlocal honey + Designing a lifestyle business Thank you, Nicole!

There's a commonly held belief in manufacturing: big ideas need big money, fast growth, and outside control to survive. But that playbook doesn't work for every business or every industry.Andrew Johnson, co-founder of HeavyTech and CEO of ShelfAware, joins the show from Everywhere Beer Co. in Anaheim, California, to talk through how he and his partners built HeavyTech, a hybrid and electric big machinery manufacturer, on their own terms. He shares the long road behind developing technology for hybrid and electric heavy machinery, and why, when it came time to scale, they made a deliberate decision to crowdfund and not follow the traditional VC path.Along the way, we also get into why diversification within a single industry creates leverage most business owners miss, what it means to be fearless in business, and the struggles of connecting with other entrepreneurs at the same stage of growth.If you've ever questioned whether the “standard” approach to funding actually fits your business, this conversation will make you rethink the rules.In this episode, find out:Why timing is the most important factor in business successHow crowdfunding gives you more control over your business and direct access to future customersWhy diversifying within an industry is one of the smartest entrepreneurial moves you can makeThe importance of connecting with other entrepreneurs in the same position as youHow HeavyTech invented its hybrid and electric machines for construction, farm and ranchWhat it means to be fearless in businessWhere Andrew sees the future of U.S. manufacturing goingEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I think the inclination today is that you need to go raise a bunch of money with private equity venture capital. I believe that's wrong. Crowdfunding allowed us to raise a bunch of money from individuals. Normal people who believed in the future vision of our company and would eventually become our customers.”“I think that's the beauty of diversification. Each business is in the same industrial space. The products are different, but they complement each other. Sometimes I go into a meeting trying to sell ShelfAware, and I end up selling O-rings or end up talking about HeavyTech and leave with a new investor.”“Timing is everything in business. You have to be at the right place at the right time. You can have a great idea, but if the market is not ready, it won't work.”Links & mentions:HeavyTech, a manufacturing company designing and building hybrid and electric machinery for the construction and agriculture industries.

INTERVIEW: Janine Kubiak on "Grounds for Action" Documentary crowdfunding by Cass Harrop on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

It is a considerable achievement to be selected to represent your school, province, or country at a major event, but sometimes it will come with an obligation to fund part of the travel expenses. It is therefore not uncommon for fundraising projects to be created to pay towards such expenses, and these can take many forms: raffles, events, online crowdfunding pages etc. But what, if any, are the tax implications?

In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Markus Ihlenfeld, Mitgründer von woom, die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau des Weltmarktführers für Kinderfahrräder – von der Garage bis zu 150 Millionen Euro Umsatz. Markus erklärt, wie er gemeinsam mit Industriedesigner Christian Bezdeka aus einer simplen Beobachtung heraus eine Marke erschaffen hat, die heute jedes vierte Kinderfahrrad in Deutschland und jedes zweite in Österreich verkauft. Ohne Investoren, ohne Pitch-Deck, nur mit 500 Fahrrädern in der Garage – und dem unbedingten Willen, Kindern das beste Produkt zu geben. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über die ersten acht Jahre komplett ohne externe Investoren – finanziert durch Privatkredite, Crowdfunding und maximale Verschuldung. Markus spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: Drei bis vier Jahre ohne Gehalt, Fahrräder in zusammengeschnittenen KTM-Kartons verschickt, nachts in der Garage schrauben nach 12-Stunden-Tagen bei Opel. Er erklärt, warum Top-Line-Growth wichtiger war als Profitabilität, wie sie durch jeden einzelnen Kunden persönlich betreut haben – teilweise Fahrräder in der Mittagspause nach Hause gefahren – und warum der Wiederverkaufswert ihrer Räder so hoch ist, dass Eltern sie sofort wieder loswerden. Die wichtigste Strategie: Aus der Sicht des Kindes denken – kleinere Griffe, leichtere Rahmen, bessere Ergonomie – und den Eltern ein Sorglos-Package bieten, das sie nie wieder über Kinderfahrräder nachdenken lässt. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Seine persönliche Journey vom Marketingdirektor bei Opel – der mit einem Flugzeug das GTI-Treffen am Wörthersee crashte – zum Vollzeit-Gründer, der seinen sicheren Job aufgab, während seine Frau die Familie versorgte. Markus spricht offen über die größte Herausforderung: Finanzierung – wie sie mit Privatkrediten in Millionenhöhe gewachsen sind, weil Banken und Investoren nicht an sie glaubten. Er erklärt, warum er nie wieder studieren würde – weder Bachelor noch MBA – und stattdessen direkt in Sales oder in ein Startup einsteigen würde. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Ego ablegen, einfach machen und jeden einzelnen Kunden glücklich machen." Heute gründen Markus und Christian mit Pop-Top – höhenverstellbare Schreibtische für Kinder – das erste von zehn geplanten Startups in den nächsten Jahren. Ein radikales Plädoyer für Naivität, Mut und die Kunst, eine Marke zu bauen, die nicht von Marketing lebt, sondern von echter Mission und kompromissloser Qualität.

Kontext ist ganz entscheidend dafür, wie wir Aussagen und Handlungen, Sachverhalte und Ereignisse bewerten. Ohne Kontext sind weder faire Urteile noch mündige Entscheidungen möglich. Warum blenden wir ihn dennoch so häufig aus? Katrin hat ein paar psychologische und evolutionsbiologische Erklärungen dafür. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Kontext der Funktionslogik von Social Media widerspricht und warum Journalismus so häufig an seinen eigenen Ansprüchen scheitert. Alexandra sieht Kontext zudem als etwas, das in Begegnungen zwischen Menschen entsteht, in Subkulturen und in der Kunst, und dessen interaktive Schaffung ein Ausdruck von Freiheit ist. Könnte die Gesellschaft gerechter und gelassener sein, wenn wir Kontext ernster nehmen würden? Unterstützt uns!Anekdotisch evident kostet im Moment mehr, als es über Crowdfunding einbringt – ihr könnt uns dabei helfen, das zu ändern. Damit es anekdotisch evident weiterhin gibt.

This is a short bonus episode with a very specific purpose. Patrick Tyndall and I are in the middle of a GoFundMe campaign to get us back to Los Angeles to finish filming Not Your Average Joe, our documentary about legendary production designer Joe Alves. This episode is me explaining where the project is at, what we've already achieved, and why this upcoming LA trip feels so important. We'll be in Los Angeles from 22–28 February 2026, filming interviews and B-roll that cover some key chapters of Joe's life and career, including:Joe's short but intense motor racing career, including racing alongside Dickie SmothersThe story of Joe introducing a major Hollywood actor to racing, setting them on a path to a serious motorsport careerAn interview with Alec Gillis the effects artist who built the articulated sharks for Jaws 3A conversation with Ann Dusenberry, who worked closely with Joe on Jaws 2An interview with Dean Cundey, cinematographer on Escape from New YorkOngoing efforts to involve Steven Spielberg in the projectThe documentary has only been shot over a relatively small number of days so far, all fitted around regular jobs and family life, but the material we've captured already has been incredible. This next trip is about joining the dots and getting the remaining pieces that will allow us to bring Joe's story properly over the finish line. At the time of recording, the GoFundMe is sitting at around $1,000, and we need roughly $3,000 to make the trip work. Any contribution helps, but just as importantly, sharing the campaign on social media genuinely makes a difference. If you've ever enjoyed the podcast, the articles, or the behind-the-scenes conversations, this is me asking for a bit of help to make sure this story gets told. Donate here!This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In 2024 haalde Emmanuelle Ghislain, de CEO van Pulse Foundation, de wereldwijde beweging FuckUp Nights naar België om het taboe rond falen te doorbreken. Op zo'n avond komen vier of vijf ondernemers hun verhaal doen. Er vinden tientallen avonden per jaar plaats, over heel België. “Bij de eerste editie moest ik een veertigtal mensen bellen voor ik één ja kreeg”, herinnert Emmanuelle Ghislain zich. “Het was supermoeilijk om mensen ervan te overtuigen hun moeilijkheden te delen. Ondernemers houden graag de schijn op. Ze praten liever over hun successen. Fake it, till you make it. Gelukkig durven meer en meer mensen het aan om kwetsbaar en eerlijk te zijn.” Pulse Foundation probeert sinds 2021 met Revival ondernemers na een faillissement een tweede kans te geven, via begeleiding naar een job in loondienst of een doorstart als ondernemer. Volgens Emmanuelle Ghislain is er nog altijd te weinig aandacht voor het mentale welzijn van ondernemers. “Er wordt heel veel gesproken over het starten van een bedrijf. Er is heel veel hulp voorhanden in die fase. Zo'n start is opwindend, maar er moet ook meer aandacht zijn voor de volgende fases.” Trends is een podcastkanaal van de redactie van Trends.

Daniel Harmon is the creator and showrunner of Tuttle Twins TV Show, an award-winning cartoon that teaches kids about principles of freedom and economics. Tuttle Twins is based on the book series that has sold over 5 million copies. In 2020, Tuttle Twins set a record as the #1 crowdfunded kids show in the world! Daniel is a creative entrepreneur and co-founded Harmon Brothers, a renowned video advertising agency that has driven billions of views and over $700 million in sales. Daniel is also a co-founder of VidAngel and Angel Studios. To learn more about Tuttle Twins, go to angel.com/tuttletwins or you can download the Angel app and watch the first few seasons for free! Additional notes from the show: Daniel and Lauren discussed a children's show concept featuring a grandmother with a time-traveling wheelchair who takes her grandchildren back in time to learn lessons from historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman. They agreed that the show would need to be entertaining enough to compete with platforms like Netflix and Disney+ while incorporating educational principles that are not currently being taught in public schools. Daniel emphasized that the show's goal is to provide parents with a resource to pass on their values to their children, comparing it to the original Spider-Man's theme of "with great power comes great responsibility." Engaging Children and Parents Through Storytelling Daniel discussed the educational approach of his show, emphasizing its appeal to both children and parents through humor and storytelling. He highlighted the show's focus on critical thinking and its success in engaging parents, with over 80% of episodes watched by parents alongside their children. Daniel also explained the role of the Angel Guild, a group of paying members who act as gatekeepers for new content, ensuring that only episodes deemed to "amplify light" are released. Lauren learned that the first three seasons are available for free on the Angel app, while the fourth season requires Angel Guild membership to access. Crowdfunding and Content Development Challenges Daniel explained the history of crowdfunding for media content, highlighting successful campaigns for TV shows like The Chosen and Tuttle Twins. He noted that BitAngel, a filtering company, eventually merged with the original content development company to avoid potential conflicts between their business models. The discussion touched on the challenges of managing both filtering and original content development under one company. Clean Content Demand and Split Daniel explained that VidAngel was split into two separate companies, with the original content side becoming Angel, where his show now lives. He noted that there is a high demand for clean content, with approximately half of the United States wanting parental controls in the early days of Angel. Lauren observed that this situation illustrated Romans 8:28, highlighting how God can bring beauty from difficult circumstances, and asked Daniel about the demand for clean content compared to what Hollywood produces, to which Daniel confirmed the demand is high, particularly among values-based audiences. Uplifting Content for Universal Appeal Daniel discussed Angel's mission to create content that amplifies light and uplifts audiences, emphasizing stories with good morals, ethics, and values, similar to Disney's historical approach.

In this special episode of Takeaway Chinese, we're going to learn how to say "crowdfunding" in Chinese.

Misstrauen gegen die Nachbarn, Entfremdung in der Familie, langjährige Freundschaften, die über Meinungsverschiedenheiten zerbrechen: Seit der Corona-Pandmie machen wir soziale Erfahrungen, die wir als Ausdruck gesellschaftlicher Spaltung deuten. Dabei kommen soziologische Studien zu gänzlich anderen Befunden, die Gesellschaft sei gar nicht so gespalten, wie es uns scheint. Im Gespräch denken wir über diesen scheinbaren Widerspruch nach und beleuchten die Hintergründe unterschiedlicher Wahrnehmungen. Lässt sich gegen Spaltungstendenzen und Polarisierung überhaupt etwas tun? Während Katrin dafür plädiert, Kategorien von „Entweder/Oder“ fallen zu lassen und sie durch „Sowohl als auch“ zu ersetzen, fragt Alexandra, ob Demokratie mit ihrem Anspruch auf Integration und Partizipation der „Massen“ ohne Polarisierung überhaupt möglich ist. Unterstützt uns!Anekdotisch evident kostet im Moment mehr, als es über Crowdfunding einbringt – ihr könnt uns dabei helfen, das zu ändern. Damit es anekdotisch evident weiterhin gibt.

The platform, created by Prince Ace, is democratizing access to entertainment investments, allowing everyday people to invest in films, video games, and other media projects. By leveraging regulation crowdfunding, CineBlock Films empowers independent creators to raise capital directly from the crowd.“This is a marketplace that we created to allow everyday retail investors to be able to invest in entertainment media from the ground up or at distribution at any stage of the production process,” Prince explained. “This allows you to be a part of it, a meaningful part of the process, and invest in what you watch.”In today's episode, Prince shared how CineBlock Films is designed to remove traditional barriers in the entertainment industry. Historically, financing for films and media projects was often reserved for wealthy individuals or institutions, leaving independent creators struggling to secure funding. Prince emphasized that crowdfunding not only levels the playing field but also creates opportunities for creators to maintain autonomy and ownership of their work.“Instead of having one person give me a million dollars, I'd rather have 1,000 people give me $1,000,” Prince said. “Now I have 1,000 people that are an army, that are fans, that are engaged, that are going to champion this project and market it to all their social networks.”Prince Ace, Founder of CineBlock Films, will be speaking at SuperGreen Live, sharing insights on democratizing investment in films, media, and the creator economy through fintech innovation—register now at SuperGreenLive.orgWith CineBlock Films, investors can back projects that align with their values and interests.

Prince shared that his approach involves iterating on ideas, going back to fundamentals, and being open to feedback.Prince shared how he faced challenges in financing an independent film. Frustrated by the traditional “dog and pony show” of pitching to wealthy investors, he envisioned a solution: a crowdfunding platform for entertainment projects. By writing a white paper, seeking feedback, and assembling a talented team, Prince turned his vision into reality. The result was CineBlock Films, a platform that empowers creators and retail investors alike.Tips for Developing Problem-Solving Skills:Identify pain points and write them down to clarify the problem.Use a structured, iterative process to brainstorm solutions.Return to fundamentals when blocked to find a clear path forward.Seek feedback from others to gain new perspectives and refine ideas.Embrace pivots and remain open to alternative approaches.By following Prince's example and advice, you can make problem solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Cleveland Whiskey was my first-ever equity crowdfunding investment (May 16, 2016), and founder/CEO Tom Lix has sent detailed quarterly updates ever since. In this episode, we cover 00:00–03:03 why Tom built a technology company in spirits—not just another craft label; 03:03–06:09 how pressure-aging in stainless tanks unlocks flavors from non-oak woods (black cherry, hickory, apple) and produces great whiskey in hours not years; 06:09–09:27 the pivot to concentrates and why India's “Indian-Made Foreign Liquor” niche is a game-changer for price and margin; 09:27–12:47 the new 45,000 sq. ft. Cleveland facilities, 12× capacity today with room to double again, plus how shorter cycle times unlock multi-shift throughput; 12:47–16:09 resilience through a U.S. whiskey slump, tariffs, and changing consumer trends; 16:09–20:03 valuation, real-estate upside on Cleveland's waterfront, and IP; and 20:03–28:19 the founder mindset—why Tom keeps going and how global demand (India, SE Asia, Africa) can drive the next chapter.

Send us a textClimate change is a global problem—but climate capital doesn't flow globally.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy sits down with Lassor Feasley, co-founder and CEO of Renewables.org, to unpack why some of the highest-impact climate solutions on Earth remain dramatically underfunded.Renewables.org applies a Kiva-style crowdfunding model to distributed solar projects across the Global South. Individuals can invest as little as $25 into no-interest loans that fund solar installations—and are repaid monthly over five years, allowing capital to be recycled again and again.Lassor explains why:A dollar invested in Global South solar can deliver up to 5x the carbon impact of a comparable U.S. projectTraditional climate fintech and ESG models break down in frontier marketsRepayment isn't just financial—it's proof of impactDesign, not just technology, determines whether climate solutions scaleThis conversation goes beyond solar panels to explore systems, incentives, trust, and the future of climate finance—and why everyday individuals may be better positioned than institutions to fund the energy transition where it matters most.If climate change is a race against time, this episode asks a harder question: are we deploying capital where it actually counts?

What happens when three outsiders try to reinvent access to money… during the worst financial crisis in decades?Before Kickstarter.Before GoFundMe.Before crowdfunding became a thing, there was Indiegogo, an idea born from frustration, inequity, and more than 93 rejections from investors.It was a funding platform built not for banks, studios or gatekeepers… but for everybody else.In this episode, co-founders Danae Ringelmann and Slava Rubin reveal the unpolished and often painful story behind Indiegogo — from digging into savings accounts, to fighting over strategy, to grinning and bearing it when their idea was dismissed as “cute.” You'll hear how their mission was shaped by loss of parents, financial instability, and a fundamental belief in fairness.How the 2008 crash nearly killed the company before it began.And how in the end, Indiegogo helped spark a massive cultural shift—proving that anyone, anywhere, could bring an idea to life.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How gatekeepers underestimate outsiders' ideasHow grief and personal history shape entrepreneurial courageHow to recover from 93 “no's” Why making money matters, but maintaining your values matters even more How co-founder conflict can sharpen (or break) a companyWhy Indiegogo didn't become Kickstarter — and what founders can learn from thatHow to know when it's time to walk away from your own companyTIMESTAMPS: 0:05:34 - Slava's childhood, and the deep loss that shaped his worldview0:09:00 - Danae's first lesson in leadership… from her dad's moving business0:12:43 - “Hollywood Meets Wall Street:” the emotional spark that led to Indiegogo0:18:43 - The Golden Gate conversation where Slava asked, “Why not put this on the internet?“ 0:32:56 - Building Indiegogo: mismatched personalities, big arguments, and the first 10 campaigns0:40:22 - The 2008 crash hits: 93 investor rejections and many moments of truth0:46:53 - Expanding beyond film: the inevitable pivot that ignited explosive growth0:54:04 - Internal evolution: roles, titles, hires, and the first taste of real scale 0:59:56 - Why the founders eventually stepped away — and why some opportunities were squandered1:05:19 - The legacy: how Indiegogo reshaped culture, creativity, and opportunity1:09:44 - Bonus: Small Business Spotlight This episode was produced by Katherine Sypher, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.
