Welcome back to the EUVC Podcast, where we gather Europe's venture family to share the stories, insights, and lessons that drive our ecosystem forward.Today we zoom in on the inner game with Seb Agertoft, former product leader turned executive coach and Partner at Evolution, a collective of ~80 coaching and leadership-development partners across the US and Europe. Seb works primarily with VC-backed founders, co-founding teams, and leadership teams. Joining me is Mike Reiner (432 Legacy), who's helping us bring more conversations like this to light.

In this episode, Dave and Dharm sit down with Cristina Pieretti, Head of Digital Content and Innovation at Moody's, to explore how one of the world's most data-driven organisations is reimagining itself through Generative AI. Cristina reveals how Moody's moved rapidly from early experiments to launching its first commercial GenAI product, the Moody's Research Assistant, which became the company's fastest-adopted tool in history. She shares how GenAI now powers everything from developer co-pilots to agentic sales and strategy tools, reshaping how thousands of employees work and think. The conversation dives deep into: How Moody's is embedding GenAI across teams while managing risk, trust, and data integrity. The cultural shift needed to make AI adoption part of everyone's job — not just the developers'. Why agentic systems represent the next big leap for productivity and innovation. How banks and financial institutions are following suit, with parallels drawn to the early days of cloud adoption. Cristina's candid thoughts on the so-called “AI bubble” and why she believes specialisation and high-quality data will separate lasting innovation from hype. This is a masterclass in how established financial institutions can turn disruption into opportunity, with human creativity and trusted data at the core.

Demystifying the many misconceptions about cannabis with Santa Cruz expert Christopher Carr. We discuss Santa Cruz cannabis history of smugglers, musicians and botanists, the human cannabinoid system and how it relates to our health and so much more fascinating information about this wonderful yet notorious plant. Do humans have a unique connection to cannabis? And if so, can cannabis be considered a plant medicine? YES, a big fat YES according to our cell's, YES according to recorded history, and YES according to many peer-reviewed studies!Christopher Carr is a Santa Cruz-based educator, cultivator, and host of The Cannabis Connection, a radio show focused on cannabis science, culture, and policy. A Cabrillo College cannabis guest lecturer, lifelong activist, and seasoned competition judge—including High Times, the Emerald Cup, and serving as a Cannabis Judge for the California State Fair 2025—Chris is also a cannabis critic on Budist, where he contributes thoughtful reviews to advance cannabis connoisseurship and appreciation. Deeply rooted in the Compassionate Use Act, his work champions cannabis education, equity, and compassionate access across California.Christopher co-founded local Santa Cruz roots band Ancestree and performs Bass with multiple bands in the greater 831. Christopher volunteers as a DJ at KBCZ 89.3 FM and served as an Art Commissioner for the City of Santa Cruz. Christopher is a proud father of two — Sophia Rose, 3 years old, and Joseph Bruce, 1 year old — and a loving husband, giving thanks for every day in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 

In a candid and informative episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Dr. Marsha Nelson, a board-certified breast surgeon at Valley Health Breast Center, to shed light on the realities of breast cancer. As October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the timing of this conversation could not be more relevant. From the outset, Janet sets a personal tone, sharing her own hesitations about mammograms and giving a heartfelt shoutout to a friend and survivor, Sandy Schwab. This openness paves the way for a discussion that is both educational and deeply human. Understanding the Risks Dr. Nelson wastes no time addressing the statistics: breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with one in eight women facing a diagnosis in their lifetime. However, she quickly clarifies that while the risk is significant, it is not the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. The conversation transitions smoothly into a discussion of risk factors, emphasizing that age and gender are the two biggest contributors—factors no one can change. Nevertheless, Dr. Nelson highlights the importance of understanding family history, genetics, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and diet. She notes that only a small percentage of breast cancer cases are directly linked to genetic mutations, but encourages women to be proactive about their health regardless of their background. The Power of Early Detection Transitioning to the topic of screening, Janet and Dr. Nelson explore the life-saving potential of early detection. Dr. Nelson strongly advocates for annual mammograms starting at age 40, explaining that early-stage breast cancer is highly treatable and often curable. She addresses common concerns about mammograms, from discomfort to fears about radiation, and reassures listeners that the benefits far outweigh the risks. Moreover, Dr. Nelson discusses the limitations of mammograms, especially for women with dense breast tissue, and explains how additional imaging techniques like ultrasounds and MRIs can provide a clearer picture when needed. Navigating the Emotional Journey The conversation takes a personal turn as Janet admits she has never had a mammogram, despite regularly interviewing health professionals. Dr. Nelson responds with empathy, acknowledging that fear and uncertainty often prevent women from scheduling screenings. She emphasizes that knowledge is power, and that early detection can spare women from more aggressive treatments down the road. The dialogue underscores the emotional complexity of breast cancer prevention, blending medical facts with real-life anxieties and encouragement. Genetics, Testing, and Next Steps As the discussion delves into genetic testing, Dr. Nelson outlines the process for women who may be at higher risk due to family history. She explains that not everyone needs genetic testing, but those who meet certain criteria can benefit from counseling and, if necessary, more intensive surveillance. Importantly, Dr. Nelson dispels the myth that a positive genetic test automatically leads to drastic measures like prophylactic mastectomy, stressing that each case is unique and should be managed with personalized care. A Call to Action In closing, Janet commits to scheduling her first mammogram and urges listeners to do the same. She invites her audience to share their own screening dates, fostering a sense of community and accountability. Dr. Nelson expresses her hope that the conversation will inspire more women to take charge of their breast health, reinforcing the message that early action saves lives.

As always, there's a handy reminder of the jobs you can be doing in your garden over the next fortnight to round off.Jobs for the fortnightMulch around the base of plants and over empty beds and borders. Over winter, worms will busily pull the organic matter into the soil, improving its structure. Collect leaves and add them to your compost heap, or pack them into jute sacks. They'll slowly decompose to make leaf mould—one of the most precious ingredients in good compost. Shredding them will make them break down faster.Brush paths with coarse sand or use a jet washer to remove moss and algae, which can become slippery when wet or icy.In exposed gardens, reduce the height of tall shrubs such as roses, buddleia, and lavatera to prevent them from rocking in high winds. For the same reason, newly planted trees should be staked low down.Turn off the water supply to outdoor taps and drain hosepipes before storing them. Install a water butt if you need a ready supply of water over winter.If you've experienced blight, black spot, rust, or mildew this season, it's essential to remove and destroy any infected plant matter. Cutting off this year's hellebore leaves is a good idea, allowing an uncluttered view of the nodding blooms in spring.Take a walk around the garden and inspect the large shrubs and trees, noting any branches that appear as if they might fall. Remove them yourself using loppers or a pruning saw if you feel able. If in doubt, call an arborist for a second opinion and to carry out the work. Do the same exercise for fences, garden buildings and ornamental structures, such as pergolas. Give the lawn one last cut, avoiding emerging bulbs - some early-flowering varieties can appear above ground well before Christmas.Order and plant bare-rooted plants. This is one of the cheapest and most environmentally friendly ways to create a hedge, rose garden, orchard or woodland area.

Was Joseph Smith a mystic? Searching for the term ‘mysticism' on the Church website yields, “See: False Doctrine, Sorcery, Superstitions; Traditions of Men.” So it's no wonder many church members haven't thought much about mysticism—the role it may have played in Joseph's experience, or how it might inform their own everyday lives or transform their spiritual practices. But poet Kathryn Knight Sonntag describes it differently: “Trusting the groundless ground, trusting that the darkness or the chaos or the unknown place actually is deeply full of knowing and love and purpose. And that it's ultimately the path into apotheosis. It's ultimately where we begin that journey of becoming divine.” In Episode 241, Kathryn joins Susan and Cynthia to explore the concept of mysticism. What might it look like for Latter-day Saints to step off the prescribed map and onto the sacred ground of our own lives in pursuit of personal encounters with God?
