In this episode, Paddy talks with art market analyst Tim Schneider about the New Visions Report 2025, a survey of over 1,000 visual artists about their working conditions. They discuss why even successful artists struggle with money, what separates artists who advance in their careers from those who don't, and the business practices that matter most. Tim shares insights from two decades covering the art market about networking, professional systems, and why the infrastructure around your art practice is just as important as the work itself.

Tra le mille sfide delle grandi città (traffico, inquinamento, trasporti), ce n'è una che sembra sempre più complicata: trovare parcheggio. Ma oggi la tecnologia può fare molto, tra applicazioni per smartphone, pagamenti direttamente dall'auto e sensori IoT che trasformano i parcheggi in spazi connessi. Come può, quindi, la digitalizzazione migliorare davvero la gestione della sosta urbana?

Does heritage influence a Formula 1 driver's style on track?

In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Irv Blumkin, Chairman of Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM), and Ryan Blumkin, Executive Vice President, to unpack nearly 90 years of retail innovation, from Mrs. B's pawn-shop beginnings to multi-acre campuses in Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas, and soon Austin. They explore what it's like to partner with Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, build massive destination developments, and still obsess over every single SKU and customer interaction. From dynamic pricing and AI-enabled operations to a mind-blowing learning trip through China's retail and technology ecosystem, Irv and Ryan share how NFM is using data, automation, and emerging tech to deepen their moat, without ever losing sight of values, culture, and long-term thinking. They also talk careers in retail tech, why young “outside-the-box” thinkers matter, and the role of lifelong learning in leading through disruption. Listen to learn:Why Warren Buffett bought Nebraska Furniture Mart on a handshake, and what Irv has learned from decades of dinners and deal-making with himWhy strong values and culture matter more than ever in this tech-driven marketplaceHow NFM uses massive-store footprints, destination partners like Scheels, and even hotel/convention centers to turn shopping into an experienceHow dynamic pricing, digital shelf tags, and nightly web crawls of 70,000+ SKUs keep NFM competitive with Amazon, Costco, Wayfair, and othersWhat Irv and Ryan saw in China's tech companies and how those lessons are shaping NFM's future3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Timeless values can scale into a $2 billion business. Mrs. B's simple principles (sell at a great price, tell the truth, and pay your bills) still anchor NFM's strategy, even as the company builds 1.8 million-square-foot campuses and expands into new markets like Austin. Irv connects those values directly to long-term growth, customer trust, and the family's partnership with Berkshire Hathaway. 2. Technology is now core infrastructure, not an add-on. NFM's nightly web crawling, digital price tags, and dynamic pricing systems automatically position them as the best value against online competitors, while complex distribution networks and emerging AI tools optimize inventory and logistics. Ryan frames this as building a “moat” with data, automation, and relentless operational excellence, not just more advertising. 3. Lifelong learning is mandatory for modern leadership. Irv has invested in executive education for decades, and both he and Ryan describe their China trip as “eye opening” in terms of speed, scrappiness, AI adoption, and asset-light business models. They're already translating those lessons into new e-commerce strategies, warehouse automation concepts, and AI-enabled process improvements back at NFM. Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Nebraska Furniture MartOther resources mentioned:Six Days in China: The Speed, Scale and Innovation Outpacing the U.S. - Podcast episode with Todd WanekMORE LINKS & RESOURCES ON THE EPISODE PAGE: https://techWe want to hear from you!

“Better utilizing data can give a more-tailored member experience—which makes the member truly feel like their credit union knows them.” – Mike KrausThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.Today's episode is the first part of a very special four-part series brought to you by TruStage! Today's discussion is with Mike Kraus (Managing Director of TruStage Ventures) and Jamie Jackson (CEO of Arkatechure), and we focus on how credit unions can make use of their data to drive better member experiences and business outcomes, with Jamie explaining that credit unions often struggle with data silos, lack of data ownership, and a culture of fear around data expertise and Mike noting that credit unions have an abundance of member data, but it is often locked away in legacy core systems. To unlock the value, it's so important for credit unions to pull all their data together into a unified platform!In our conversation, both Mike and Jamie really emphasize the role that fintech partnerships can play, as they can provide the modern data infrastructure, analytics capabilities, and agility that credit unions often lack. However, they also caution that partnerships must be strategic, with clear alignment on goals and outcomes. We also cover why it's so important to start small and prove value via quick wins and then scaling the data strategy. Measuring outcomes, not just activities, is key, and the most successful credit unions will be those that empower all employees to make data-driven decisions!As we wrap up the episode, we highlight how effectively leveraging data is crucial for credit unions to deliver personalized member experiences and drive sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving financial services landscape!

Epoch AI researchers reveal why Anthropic might beat everyone to the first gigawatt datacenter, why AI could solve the Riemann hypothesis in 5 years, and what 30% GDP growth actually looks like. They explain why "energy bottlenecks" are just companies complaining about paying 2x for power instead of getting it cheap, why 10% of current jobs will vanish this decade, and the most data-driven take on whether we're racing toward superintelligence or headed for history's biggest bubble. Resources:Follow Yafah Edelman on X: https://x.com/YafahEdelmanFollow David Owen on X: https://x.com/everysumFollow Marco Mascorro on X: https://x.com/MascobotFollow Erik Torenberg on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

A deep dive into data-driven marketing and entrepreneurship with Dr. Alexa D'Agostino, covering two decades of experience and insights.Persistence vs. Delegation: The biggest hurdles to scaling are a lack of persistence for those under $1 million and a CEO's inability to delegate and focus on strategy for those over $5 million.Data is More Than Numbers: Data is defined as buying behavior, what customers hate, when they click, and why they don't buy—it's crucial to listen to what the data is screaming, not to guess.The Shift in Content: Polished, overproduced content is hurting conversions. What converts now is "raw, real, fast, unedited" content like screenshots and behind-the-scenes looks, which builds trust and transparency.AI as an Amplifier: AI will not take over marketing teams but will change their roles, requiring more strategists. AI is only as good as the knowledge it's trained on, and it amplifies what you know.Relentless Execution: Dr. Alexa's secret sauce is "relentless execution"—moving faster, testing faster, and launching, learning, and tweaking instead of waiting for perfection.Avoiding Shiny Object Syndrome: Founders should focus on one offer and scale it to the $750K to $1.5M range to ensure enough profit to hire a dedicated team member before expanding to a second offer.Tracking Traction: Traction isn't always revenue; it can be momentum, interest, waitlist sign-ups, or acquisition interest, which indicates the need to pivot or double down.Single Channel Focus: Beginning entrepreneurs should focus on mastering one channel (e.g., TikTok for product, LinkedIn for education) where their consumer is, to build community, drive traffic, and avoid burnout.Top 3 Data Points: The most important metrics to track are Traffic (are they staying?), Conversion Rate (is the campaign working?), and Cost Per Sale/Lead.Low vs. High Ticket Sales Funnel: Social media acts as the top of the funnel to build trust. Low-ticket sales are a volume play, while high-ticket sales require deeper trust and a longer engagement journey (often six months or more).Essential Business System: Every founder needs a CRM (even starting with a basic spreadsheet like Excel) to capture leads, keep them warm, and follow up, as leads don't just "pop up."Value in the Age of AI: The true value an expert provides is in context, knowledge, and perspective, which AI cannot replicate because it has not lived the experience.

In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Paul Chadwick, VP at PureLogic, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way dental practices operate — especially at the front desk. Paul breaks down how PureLogic leverages AI, analytics, and automation to improve patient communication, reduce missed calls, and enhance practice efficiency. Together, they discuss what "data-driven dentistry" really means, how AI can empower rather than replace staff, and what metrics matter most for growth. Whether you're a solo practitioner, part of a DSO, or just curious about AI's practical applications in dentistry, this conversation will give you real-world insights into using data to drive smarter decisions and better patient experiences. Here are some of the interesting stff we talked about in this episode. AI isn't the future—it's here now. Dental practices using AI to analyze calls and automate responses are already improving conversion rates and reducing missed opportunities. Missed calls are hidden revenue leaks. The average practice misses 30–40% of calls, and PureLogic's data shows that following up with AI-powered text can recover many of those lost appointments. Patient preference matters. Voice, text, and chat-based AI tools meet patients where they are, improving satisfaction and accessibility. KPIs drive decisions. Tracking missed call rates, conversion rates, and patient engagement metrics can reveal where your practice is losing revenue—and how to fix it. AI + people = the winning combo. The goal isn't to replace front office staff, but to free them up to focus on relationships and in-person care. — Key Takeaways 00:40 Introduction and Sponsor Acknowledgments 01:40 Meet Paul Chadwick and PureLogic 04:50 What PureLogic Does for Dental Practices 04:55 How AI Analyzes Calls and Improves Conversions 06:30 Understanding Front Office Optimization 08:00 Voice vs. Text: Meeting Patients Where They Are 10:50 The Rise of AI Agents in Dentistry 11:55 Differentiating PureLogic from Other AI Companies 15:30 Using Data to Train and Support Front Office Teams 17:25 Key KPIs Every Practice Should Track 20:21 The Truth About Missed Calls in Dentistry 21:40 Where Practices Need the Most Help 24:53 Managing the Modern Dental Tech Stack 27:20 PMS Integrations and Vendor Consolidation 28:05 The Future of AI in Dental Operations 30:46 How AI Will Personalize the Patient Experience 31:30 Lightning Round: Quickfire Q&A with Paul Chadwick 38:17 How to Connect with PureLogic 38:47 Closing Thoughts from Dr. Len Tau — Connect with Paul

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Estella Benz, founder and CEO of Inference Beauty, to explore how data intelligence, ingredient transparency, and AI personalization are reshaping the future of skincare. What began as Estella's frustration with confusing ingredient lists and overwhelming product choices evolved into a powerful technology platform designed to decode beauty — not through trends, but through truth.Estella shares how Inference Beauty translates complex INCI labels into language consumers can understand, offering not just definitions but context: why an ingredient is used, what it does, and how it behaves on real skin. In an era dominated by fear-based “clean beauty” rhetoric, her mission is to bring clarity back to the consumer. “People don't need scare tactics,” she says. “They need understanding.”Through structured data, AI, and environmental analytics, Inference Beauty creates intelligent, personalized product recommendations based on climate, sensitivities, ethical preferences, and biological needs — shifting beauty away from one-size-fits-all marketing into a world built “for each.”As e-commerce grows, Estella envisions dynamic digital experiences where product pages adapt to each user, bridging the long-standing gap between what brands believe they're communicating and what consumers actually understand. Yet even as she champions AI, she emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human expertise — especially for active, medical-grade, or prescriptive products.Tune in to hear how Estella Benz is building the next generation of beauty intelligence — where transparency, personalization, and smart data come together to redefine how we discover and trust skincare.Learn more about Inference Beauty on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:27 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:27 – Estella's Background & Early Inspiration2:31 – The Birth of Inference Beauty4:06 – Market Misconceptions & The Female Consumer Gap5:45 – How Personalization Transforms Shopping6:56 – Ingredient Data, Ethics & Environmental Impact10:05 – Transparency, Clean Beauty & Consumer Education16:36 – The Role of AI in Personalized Beauty23:06 – The Future of Tech, Data & Human Touch in BeautyPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.
