Sharon Goepferich from Cool Air Products joins the podcast to discuss cutting-edge capacitor technology and innovative HVAC solutions in an introduction to the Sigma capacitor. Sharon brings a decade of industry experience, having worked extensively with capacitors and HVAC components while traveling across the country to educate technicians and contractors. The conversation begins with a comprehensive breakdown of capacitor failures, addressing common misconceptions in the field. While manufacturing quality certainly plays a role in capacitor longevity, environmental factors like high temperatures and voltage disruptions—particularly common in markets like Florida with frequent lightning strikes—are primary contributors to failure. A crucial point emphasized is that failing capacitors typically cause compressor and motor failures, not the other way around. Many technicians incorrectly assume that a capacitor reading within tolerance is acceptable, but Bryan and Sharon clarify that even a degraded capacitor operating at reduced capacity can cause motors to run hotter and fail prematurely. This highlights the importance of proactive capacitor maintenance and replacement before complete failure occurs. The episode's centerpiece is the discussion of the innovative Sigma capacitor system, which Sharon describes as being "designed on an airplane over whiskey." This modular pod system addresses a longstanding challenge for HVAC technicians: the impossibility of stocking every capacitor size on their trucks. The Sigma capacitor uses a stackable approach where technicians build the exact capacitance they need in the field using standardized components. The system operates on a simple rule: build the higher values first (typically compressor capacitance on top), then stack the lower values (fan capacitance) underneath. This approach maximizes truck inventory efficiency while minimizing the number of SKUs contractors need to manage, representing a middle ground between carrying extensive individual capacitor inventory and using traditional universal capacitors. Cool Air Products extends beyond capacitors with their Combat P Trap system, an all-in-one condensate drain management solution that combines a shutoff valve, cleaning tab reservoir, and P-trap in a single unit. This product reflects the company's mission to solve everyday contractor problems in cost-effective ways. What makes Cool Air Products unique is their business model of helping industry insiders bring innovative ideas to market, providing support for patent processes, manufacturing connections, and funding. The Combat P Trap also demonstrates the company's commitment to giving back, as a portion of proceeds supports veterans—fitting since the product was designed by a veteran and serves an industry with significant veteran participation.

We are excited to share the initial findings from our comprehensive Founder Equity Study 2025. About the Study Our research analyzed founder teams and equity distributions across almost 2,200 German start-ups established between 2019 and 2024, each having secured external funding through angel investors or (corporate) venture capital. While our dataset focuses on funded start-ups rather than the entire German start-up ecosystem, it provides valuable insights into team composition, gender distribution, and equity allocation patterns. The analysis tracks developments over multiple years and offers both aggregate and sector-specific perspectives.

Many MedTech companies focus heavily on FDA clearance but overlook a critical layer of U.S. market entry: state-level compliance. In this episode, Etienne Nichols speaks with Adam Steadman, CEO of MDD Options, to unpack the real-world challenges that derail commercialization after regulatory approval. From navigating state-specific registration, sales tax laws, and distribution logistics to choosing between direct and distributor-based strategies, Adam shares hard-earned insights for avoiding the "second valley of death" post-clearance. Whether you're a domestic startup or an international company entering the U.S., this episode arms you with a tactical understanding of compliance landmines and scalable go-to-market strategies.Key Timestamps00:02 – Intro: The real MedTech “valley of death” after FDA clearance04:45 – Why U.S. state-level registration is misunderstood and overlooked08:15 – State-level definitions of medical devices and why they differ11:20 – Strategic go-to-market options: Distribution vs. Direct17:00 – How regulations vary drastically by state (CA, TX, etc.)21:50 – The real risks of noncompliance: lawsuits, bad PR, and due diligence failures26:15 – Why distribution agreements can stall your growth (and how to avoid it)34:30 – Sales tax & use tax: The hidden compliance trap39:10 – Logistics, warehousing, and long-term liabilities in contracts44:55 – Overlooked pitfalls: Secretary of State filings and income tax in 36+ states51:15 – Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): U.S. compliance still applies55:30 – Selling to the U.S. government vs. private sector buyers59:20 – Veterinary devices and why they still need regulatory controls1:03:10 – What a winning go-to-market strategy actually looks like1:10:25 – Adam's final advice to MedTech startups (foreign and domestic)Standout Quotes"You're not entering one country—you're entering 50 states and D.C. Each with its own rules, definitions, and tax laws."—Adam Steadman explains why U.S. MedTech entry requires a state-by-state strategy, especially for international companies."None of the strategics want your warehouse management system—they want your product, your sales, and your proof of market fit."—Steadman on why building non-core infrastructure slows down commercialization and valuation.Top 5 TakeawaysFDA Clearance ≠ Market Readiness – State-level registrations, sales tax laws, and pharmacy board definitions often delay or block commercialization.Distribution Isn't Always a Shortcut – National distributors may have misaligned incentives and can lock you into exclusivity that hinders growth.Sales Tax is a Regulatory Minefield – 46 states require separate sales tax registration, exemptions tracking, and monthly filings—even if you're tax-exempt.Beware of Long-Term Contracts – Logistics and distribution contracts often lock companies into rigid terms that prevent pivots or acquisitions.Speed to Market Is Strategic – Getting to market fast is often the difference between becoming #1 or #3—and #3 often gets nothing.MedTech 101What Is “Nexus” and Why It Matters for Sales Tax?“Nexus” refers to the minimum level of economic activity that triggers tax obligations in a given state. For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax. Unlike VAT in Europe, U.S. sales tax laws are state-specific, making this a major compliance hurdle for MedTech companies.References & Resources

A conversation onsite at The Council's Employee Benefits Leadership Forum with Prudential's John Trevisan, Head of Distribution for Group Insurance, and Mark Devine, Vice President, Head of Life, Absence & Disability Product.

On today's episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Jamie Lane dig into a flurry of power plays and platform pivots across the travel and lodging landscape. First, we continue to unpack the growing tension around Airbnb's Experiences program, as the company is now facing allegations of poaching guides from rival platforms to grow its inventory. As Airbnb doubles down on being more than just a lodging company, competitors—and critics—are starting to push back. Meanwhile, hotels seem mostly unbothered by Airbnb's expansion into local tours and experiences… but should they be? Next, we look at a surprising move from PayPal, which is officially getting into hotel bookings. Powered by Selfbook, this integration inside PayPal's app marks yet another fintech giant stepping into travel—and raises questions about where (and how) people book next. Finally, we round out the episode with a deeper look at the OTA funnel and Google's evolving role in travel search. With Booking.com and Expedia Group locked in fierce bidding wars, and smaller players like Super.com and Bluepillow making noise, the guest journey from search to stay is more competitive than ever. As loyalty shifts, margins tighten, and platforms expand their reach, we break down what it all means for operators, owners, and the future of hospitality distribution. ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good Morning Hospitality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hospitality.FM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Multi-Media Network and is a Hospitality.FM Original The hospitality industry is constantly growing, changing, and innovating!

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Chris Brimsek, Managing Partner of Cab Advisory, for a deep dive into how investment managers can build enduring businesses in an increasingly complex private markets environment. Drawing on experience from advising GPs across asset classes and stages, Chris outlines the major strategic and operational challenges facing fund managers—from firm structure and team composition to incentive design and succession planning. The conversation explores why many firms stall out at the mid-market level and what it truly takes to scale. Chris shares a four-part framework he uses with clients to create “operational alpha,” emphasizing the importance of vision, actively managed teams, properly structured incentives, and founder delegation. Whether discussing fundless sponsors, the future of sports investing, or the commercialization of GP stakes, Chris offers a pragmatic and unvarnished view of where the industry is headed. They discuss: How the “mutual fund phase” of private markets is driving the need for new content and strategies The rise of fundless sponsors and how they're shaping deal flow, team structures, and fundraising models Why founders must choose between staying boutique or scaling—and how that choice affects team dynamics and enterprise value The case for sports franchises as analogs to deal teams and what private equity can learn from talent management in professional leagues Why delegation, succession planning, and intentional incentive design are key to sustainable firm growth This is a must-listen for investment managers navigating scale, succession, or strategic reinvention in today's private markets.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Capt. Lynn Rippelmeyer—first woman to fly the Boeing 747—joins host Shaesta Waiz to dismantle the myth that equity and excellence are mutually exclusive. Rippelmeyer traces her unlikely climb from TWA flight attendant to 747 captain during an era when women “weren't just under-represented—they were reminded they didn't belong.”  She credits key male allies, highlights the power of mentorship, and explains why tapping an inner spiritual compass is critical when the industry questions your right to be there. Beyond the flight deck, Rippelmeyer discusses raising two sons while flying, founding the nonprofit ROSE—Roatán Support Effort, and writing two memoirs (Life Takes Wings, Life Takes Flight) whose proceeds fund medical and educational aid in Honduras. Her core message: a fully engaged, diverse workforce is the only route to operational excellence—and every new pilot has a part to play. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Equity is foundational to excellence—not its opposite ✅ Mentorship from male allies can open historic doors ✅ You can raise a family while flying professionally ✅ The myth of “safety risk” from women in command roles ✅ Inner confidence stems from spirituality and self-trust ✅ Institutional bias once blocked female captains—until proven wrong ✅ Representation matters: visibility breeds access ✅ Legacy is built not just in flight, but in giving back Chapter Breakdown 00:00 | Cold-open — “You can't have excellence without equity” 01:24 | Host intro and Lynn's historic flight credentials 03:04 | Dreaming the 747 while training in a Piper Cub 05:27 | Chief Pilot Carl Hershberg and mentorship that changed everything 07:21 | The 747's “sacred” feel; pilot-aircraft relationship 10:15 | Tackling the false binary of DEI vs. safety 13:16 | Debunking myths: mental fitness, menstruation, and command 19:52 | Flying through doubt, powered by spiritual grounding 23:49 | Finding support: 99s, WAI, ISA+21, and choosing community 26:33 | Post-career: launching ROSE and humanitarian flying 28:50 | Life Takes Wings & Life Takes Flight — memoirs with mission Additional Resources Nonprofit: ROSE – Roatán Support Effort Follow Capt.

Remember when eCommerce was going to revolutionize B2B sales? Twenty years in, only a handful of channels have capitalized on the initial promise. But distributors aren't to blame for the operational failure, says Justin Johnson, Founder of Motivate. He maintains that the major e-commerce platforms should bear the blame. They failed to grasp that most orders are placed from the job site via mobile, a recurring purchase order, or a list scribbled on a piece of drywall.  Jason spoke with Justin about his company's innovative plug-and-play order processing solution, a PO-to-cart widget that works with the software distributors already own. It can even convert images into orders with incredible accuracy.

Vikram Sinha, CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, speaks with Jeremy Au about his personal journey, the power of distribution, and why AI is not just another wave of telecom innovation. They retrace his career from selling mobile plans to leading a successful merger, discuss why distribution is still the biggest driver of growth in emerging markets, and unpack how AI must be localized, inclusive, and protected from bad actors.

Student: How did you find your path? Did you do something else before, right? Vaisesika Dasa: Well, I got involved in this when I was around 16. Student: Oh, that's pretty early. Vaisesika Dasa: I became a monk when I was 16. From the time I was born, I had a curiosity about what life was, why I was here in the world, and why I had to die, things like that. Student:Okay Vaisesika Dasa: But in high school, I came into this Bhagavad Gita and other spiritual knowledge. My teacher is from the tradition of Bhagavad Gita. You know Bhagavad Gita? Bhagavad Gita is from India. It's where yoga comes from, meditation.

In this episode, Ross lays down the law on modern content distribution and why "hoping it goes viral" isn't a strategy. He breaks down the five most common mistakes marketers make with distribution, highlights the new reality of reaching audiences in the AI and multi-channel era, and walks you step-by-step through building a powerful, repeatable distribution system that delivers results. If you've been creating high-quality content but struggling to get it in front of the right audience, this episode gives you the system, mindset, and framework to turn things around. Key Takeaways and Insights: Hope Is NOT a Strategy Pressing “publish” is not enough to drive content success. Distribution is what transforms good content into great, high-impact content. If no one sees your content, it may as well not exist. 5 Common Distribution Mistakes Publish Once, Then Disappear Celebrate distribution, not just publishing. Implement a content distribution calendar to continuously share and promote assets. Relying on a Single Channel Multi-channel presence is essential to stay top of mind and generate multiple touch points. Don't stick to just LinkedIn or X — explore YouTube, Reddit, newsletters, Slack groups, and more. Assuming Organic Reach is Guaranteed Social and SEO algorithms don't owe you visibility. Use rented platforms to build owned ones (e.g., newsletters), and pair organic with smart paid amplification. Not Repurposing Content A blog post should become a LinkedIn carousel, a video, a thread on X, a newsletter, etc. Embrace the mantra: Create Once, Distribute Forever. Failure to Track Performance You can't optimize what you don't measure. Use tools like GA4, HubSpot, Ahrefs, etc., to analyze what's working. How to Build a Real Distribution System Audience & Content Market Fit Research Understand who your audience is, their interests, pain points, and where they hang out online. Go beyond business competitors — study top-performing content in other niches (MrBeast, Yoga with Adriene, etc.) to understand attention mechanics. Create a High-Value Pillar Asset Choose a format (blog post, video, case study, podcast, etc.). This asset will form the nucleus of your distribution efforts. Repurpose & Atomize Break your pillar asset into quotes, clips, carousels, threads, email snippets, and more for long-term promotion. Define Distribution Across PESO Paid (ads, boosts) Earned (press, influencer shares) Shared (social, communities) Owned (newsletter, blog) Measure Everything & Iterate Use data to guide future efforts and content decisions. Recommended tools: Google Analytics 4, HubSpot, Ahrefs, SparkToro, UTM dashboards, and Distribution.AI. Resources & Tools:

In this special edition of The Distribution, host Brandon Sedloff sits down with Chris Tinsley and Rory Mabin of NASDAQ's fund secondaries business, recorded live from NASDAQ's Times Square studio.  The conversation unpacks the evolution of the fund secondaries market, highlighting how NASDAQ is bringing technology, transparency, and regulatory clarity to a historically opaque and manual process. Chris and Rory share how their unique professional journeys—from institutional investing to pioneering fintech—positioned them to rethink secondary liquidity in private markets.  They dive deep into the complexities of LP transactions, the origins of NASDAQ's platform, and the structural and regulatory innovations making scaled, GP-sponsored liquidity a reality today. They discuss: * How NASDAQ's acquisition of SecondMarket evolved into a fund secondaries platform * Why secondary LP transactions are more like M&A deals than stock trades * The value of “GP-sponsored” liquidity programs and how they differ from GP-led deals * How NASDAQ's Qualified Matching Service (QMS) helps GPs avoid tax complications while scaling liquidity * Why scalable technology and a growing buyer base—including family offices and institutional LPs—are reshaping the future of private market secondaries This episode is essential listening for GPs navigating LP liquidity needs or building next-gen fund structures in private markets.
