Alternative Assets Appear to Be a House of Cards I remember using that same terminology back before the tech bust about 25 years ago. I was maybe a little bit early back then, but the house of cards collapsed. The more I read about alternative assets the more I scratch my head and ask how is Wall Street getting away with this? In the end, I believe the small investor will end up paying dearly for investing in these alternative assets. I learned something new over the weekend, a company called Hamilton Lane Private assets can buy private stakes from other holders at a discounted price, but then they can magically increase the value to the net asset value. This also reminds me of the mortgage crisis in 2008 with collateralized mortgage obligations better known as CMO‘s that also had major difficulties. Hamilton Lane Private assets can disregard the discounted price they paid no matter how they paid for it, even if it was in a competitive auction and again mark it up to net asset value. In 2024 there were $162 billion in secondary deals with an average discount of 11%. My question is how can they magically create $18 billion of value on those secondary deals. The incentive fees that private equity firms like Hamilton Lane earn range from 10 to 12 1/2%. If it sounds complicated, it is and if you don't understand something, you should not be investing in it no matter how simple your broker tries to make it sound. The greed on Wall Street appears to be running rampant, I would highly caution investors to avoid any type of private equity in their portfolio. Tariffs Are Still Not Impacting Inflation The May Consumer Price Index, also known as CPI, showed little impact from tariffs. Headline CPI came in at 2.4%, which was right in line with expectations and core CPI, which excludes food and energy, came in at 2.8%, which was actually below the expectation of 2.9%. The headline CPI continues to remain softer than core CPI due to falling energy prices. Compared to last year, energy prices were down 3.5% and gasoline in particular fell 12.0%. The core prices do remain a little bit stuck at the 2.8% level considering it was at that level in both the March and April reports as well, but considering the concern around tariffs I would say this was a really strong report. It will be interesting to see the coming months as economists are pointing to the fact that companies brought in excess inventory before the tariffs were implemented so they are still working through pre tariff inventory and have not needed to raise prices yet. I do wonder if inflation does not substantially increase at what point will economists say that the tariffs maybe aren't as impactful as they once thought? My belief remains that we will see a small uptick in inflation in the coming months, but there are other forces reducing inflation in some areas so I think it will be more muted than many believe. Health and Human Services Is Receiving a Major Makeover Back in the 60s, the world looked to America's health regulators for guidance because they had a reputation for integrity, scientific impartiality and a strong defense of patient welfare. Today and for probably the last couple of decades, HHS has lost trust among many people. This week, a major shakeup of the advisory committee for immunization practices known as ACIP is retiring all 17 of the current members on the committee. In the past, the committee had many persistent conflicts of interest and approved every vaccine that came through. The committee met behind closed doors and without transparency the public had no faith in their decisions. Some of the members had financial stakes or received substantial funding from the pharmaceutical companies. I'm happy to report with all 17 of the committee members being forced into retirement we should see big changes on the approval of vaccines and hopefully in a few years, the HHS and the committee can regain public trust. This could have an impact on some pharmaceutical stocks if vaccines go through a more rigorous approval process. Financial Planning: What If There's a Recession While in Retirement? With 8 in 10 Americans already changing their spending habits and 58% expecting a recession, it's clear that economic uncertainty is weighing heavily on people's minds. But the reality is if you're retiring soon, or already retired, you should assume you'll face multiple recessions, market corrections, and bear markets during your retirement. It's not a matter of it, but when. Historically, recessions occur about every 6 to 10 years and typically last 10 to 18 months. Market corrections, defined as a drop of 10% or more, happen about once every 1 to 2 years, and bear markets, declines of 20% or more, occur roughly every 5 to 6 years, lasting on average about 10 months, though the recovery to previous highs can take up to 2 years or more depending on the severity. The point isn't to try and time retirement around these events, it's to build an income strategy that expects them. A well-structured retirement income plan includes diversified investment portfolio that will provide long-term growth, cash reserves to avoid selling investments at a loss, a sustainable withdraw rate, and flexibility to adjust withdrawals from various sources when needed. By accepting volatility as a normal part of retirement, you can build a plan that weathers it and sleep better when the markets are volatile. Companies Discussed: Lululemon Athletica Inc.

Episode 384 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Thomas “TK” Kinsella, Co-Founder & Chief Customer Officer of Tines. The success of Tines is not based on luck. The company's co-founders experienced a major problem that wasn't being being solved by existing platforms and after talking to peers who were also dealing with the same problem, they decided to do something about it. But, it wasn't just an idea that got them to where they are today. This team was uniquely qualified to build the next generation solution based on TK's and his Co-Founder & CEO, Eoin Hinchy's many years of experience in the cybersecurity industry, plus a history of working together for something like 15+ years at Deloitte, eBay, and DocuSign. Tines empowers teams to build, run, and monitor their most mission-critical and sophisticated workflows. The company recently announced a $125M round of funding at a $1.125B valuation and is co-headquartered in Dublin and Boston. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * A discussion about the cybersecurity industry and the platform shift to AI. * TK's background story growing up in Dublin and some mutual geeking out on rugby. * Starting his career in cybersecurity at Deloitte where he met Eoin, plus lots of details about what they worked on at eBay and DocuSign. * Getting Tines started from the early days and all the details about the platform today. * Why they hired a top designer as one of the first employees in the company and the importance of making products that are easy to use. * Details on the latest round of funding and what's next. * And so much more.

Send us a textWhat happens when a leader embraces the role of team coach? In this episode, we sit down with Harvey Smith, VP Partners, who shares his experience leading partner teams across EMEA through his natural team coaching approach. Harvey opens up about the delicate balance between authority and humility that defines great team coaching leadership. Drawing on his extensive experience at DocuSign, Salesforce, Tableau, and VMware, Harvey reveals how he transformed disparate teams into cohesive units through simple but powerful approaches.His mantra? “If you've got 27 priorities, you haven't got any.” By focusing on no more than three clearly ranked objectives, Harvey empowered his team to stay aligned, and say no to distractions. The phrase “Harvey says no” became a cultural shorthand for protecting priorities and staying on mission. We delve into how genuine trust is built within teams. Harvey shares his belief in vulnerability and accessibility, implementing skip-level meetings where team members could speak freely and career development sessions that demonstrated his commitment to their growth. This created psychological safety that allowed honest communication to flourish.Harvey's innovative approaches to breaking down silos include his "pod model" for cross-functional collaboration and strategic use of "stretch projects" that deliberately positioned team members to connect teams.When it comes to conflict, Harvey doesn't shy away. His take? “Partners are like a car accident – everyone slows down to look but no one wants to get involved.” His solution? Proactive education, clear communication channels, and shared understanding of roles and responsibilities.Book PicksRebel Ideas by Matthew Syed – on the power of diverse thinkingThe Culture Map by Erin Meyer – a must-read for navigating global teams.Whether you're managing partners, leading through change, or simply trying to create more effective teams, this episode offers practical wisdom for balancing the human element with unwavering focus on business outcomes.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

In today's episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., dives into a topic that every small business owner needs to take seriously: cybersecurity. As entrepreneurs, we're focused on growth, profitability, and strategy, but all of that hard work can be put at risk in an instant if we fall victim to cyber threats. A single phishing email, password breach, or scam can lead to lost revenue, stolen data, and massive headaches (and let's be real, none of us have time for that!). But don't worry, we've got you covered! Danielle breaks down the biggest cybersecurity threats facing small businesses and shares simple, practical steps to keep your business and finances safe. Key Takeaways: Phishing Emails & Texts Are Everywhere: Be on the lookout for fake DocuSign requests, “unpaid” toll or shipping texts, gift card scams, and urgent wire transfer emails. If something feels off, don't click! Verify directly with the sender outside of the potential scam text or email before doing anything and immediately report it. Scammers Want You to Act Fast: Cybercriminals rely on urgency to trick you into clicking malicious links or sharing sensitive information; slow down and verify before taking action. Strong Passwords & Two-Step Authentication Are Essential: Using unique passwords and enabling two-step authentication makes it harder for hackers to gain access to your accounts. Yes, it's annoying but it's worth it! Backup Your Data to the Cloud: Use Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive for automatic backups so that if your device is compromised, your business documents are safe and easily recoverable. Trust Your Gut & Double-Check Everything: If you weren't expecting an email, text, or request for money or information, take a moment to verify before you click or send anything! It's always okay to say no and follow up through a secure method. Topics Discussed: Common Cyber Scams Targeting Small Businesses (00:01:06 – 00:03:24) How to Spot and Avoid Phishing Emails and Text Scams (00:03:24 – 00:04:53) Best Practices for Password Security and Two-Step Authentication (00:04:53 – 00:06:42) Why Backing Up Your Business Data is Critical (00:06:42 – 00:07:43) The Power of Slowing Down and Verifying Before You Click (00:07:43 – 00:09:18) Recap of Cybersecurity Steps to Take (00:09:18 - 00:10:51) Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

Investopedia's Caleb Silver poses the question to investors considering Docusign (DOCU) for their portfolios: "can I invest in Docusign as a utility?"

I'm joined by Min Choi to test if Manus AI can replace your AI tech stack. Throughout the episode, we test Manus AI's capabilities by asking it to create a DocuSign clone, research startup ideas, and analyze website SEO.Timestamps:• 00:00 - Intro• 02:18 - What is Manus AI?• 03:58 - Project 1: DocuSign clone• 16:54 - Project 2: Research Greg's top startup ideas• 27:09 - Security concerns with Manus AI • 30:16 - Manus bug and reboot • 32:06 - Deploying DocuSign Clone• 39:42 - Project 3: SEO Optimization • 44:14 - Discussion of Manus's Limitations and Scaling issues• 48:23 - Project 4: Build a Flight Simulator Video Game• 49:48 - AI companies facing scaling issues• 52:05 - Where does Manus excel? • 53:48 - What Manus was able to accomplish during the episodeKey Points:• Testing Manus AI by asking it to autonomously research, plan, and execute complex tasks• Having Manus create a DocuSign clone, research startup ideas, and analyze website SEO• Manus AI functions as a multi-agent system that can browse websites, write code, and deploy applications with minimal prompting• The tool has limitations including context windows, deployment issues, and daily usage limits1) What makes Manus AI different?Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, Manus is a TRUE AGENT system that:• Researches, plans, and executes simultaneously• Controls browsers to gather information autonomously• Creates full applications from simple prompts• Deploys working code with minimal guidance"It's the closest thing to AGI yet" - Min Choi2) The DocuSign Clone Experiment With just a 4-WORD PROMPT ("create a DocuSign clone"), Manus:• Researched DocuSign's core features• Created a complete project structure• Built login, document upload & e-signature functionality• Generated deployable codeAll without templates or boilerplate code!3) Human-in-the-loop capabilities One of the MOST IMPRESSIVE features:• You can interrupt Manus WHILE it's working• Refine requirements mid-process• Add constraints or pivot directionWhen they narrowed focus to "just e-signature features," Manus immediately adjusted its plan without starting over.4) Multi-agent workflow Manus feels like having MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES working simultaneously:• A researcher gathering information• A PM creating specifications• A developer writing code• A marketer analyzing opportunitiesIt's like an entire team in one tool!5) Beyond coding: Marketing & Growth Manus can also:• Analyze websites for SEO improvements• Target specific audiences (like executives)• Create content strategies• Scrape data for market researchIt's not just about building - it's about GROWING your business too.6) Current limitationsManus isn't perfect (yet):• Context length limitations on complex tasks• Deployment issues with sophisticated apps• Daily usage limits (currently ~10 sessions)• Server load causing errors as popularity growsIt's still beta, but even with limitations, it's REVOLUTIONARY.7) Security considerationsSince Manus is a Chinese company, there are valid concerns:• Be mindful of what data you share• Don't connect personal accounts or payment systems• Use for learning & experimentationMin's advice: "Always be careful with the data you share online."The BIG TAKEAWAY: We're witnessing a fundamental shift in how businesses will be built.What used to take weeks now takes MINUTES.What required TEAMS now needs just ONE PERSON with AI.This is just the beginning of the agent AI revolution.Notable Quotes:"I think that we're getting closer and closer to sort of the glimpse into what the AGI is gonna look like." - Min Choi"It feels like we have like four employees working at the same time... We've got this marketing person. We've got this researcher. We've got this cracked PM slash developer." - Greg IsenbergWant more free ideas?

With $3M in pre-seed funding, Agree.com is challenging the status quo in the agreements space by offering free e-signature capabilities while building a comprehensive platform for contract-based revenue management. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Marty Ringlein shares how Agree.com is positioning itself to own the critical intersection between contract execution and money movement, targeting the underserved mid-market segment where deals typically range from $1M to $50M in annual revenue. Topics Discussed: The evolution from free e-signature tool to comprehensive revenue management platform Strategic approach to acquiring the Agree.com domain name through relationship building Guerrilla marketing tactics and creative event strategies in B2B The company's expansion strategy from sales teams to broader financial operations Building a strategic wedge through free e-signature against established players The vision for transforming contract-based financial operations GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Leverage Guerrilla Marketing Constraints: Ringlein emphasizes how budget constraints can fuel creativity in marketing. Rather than viewing limited resources as a handicap, Agree.com turns them into an advantage by executing quick, memorable campaigns that larger competitors can't match. Their approach at Dreamforce - setting up mobile coffee stations when the conference ran out of coffee - demonstrates how being nimble and opportunistic can create outsized impact with minimal spend. Create a Compelling Market Entry Narrative: Agree.com's strategy of positioning against "villain brands" like DocuSign provides a clear, relatable entry point for customers. By anchoring against a well-known but frequently criticized incumbent, they can quickly establish context and focus conversations on their differentiated value proposition rather than explaining basic functionality. Use Product-Led Growth to Drive Enterprise Expansion: Instead of targeting finance teams directly, Agree.com enters organizations through individual sales reps who can adopt the free e-signature product without formal approval. This bottom-up adoption creates organic expansion opportunities, making it easier to later engage finance teams about premium features when multiple sales teams are already using the platform. Focus on Transaction-Heavy Use Cases: Rather than trying to serve all potential signature use cases, Agree.com specifically targets scenarios where signatures are tied to payment obligations. This focus allows them to build deeper value through payment processing, invoicing automation, and financial insights - capabilities that create stronger differentiation than pure e-signature functionality. Build Strategic Optionality Into Your Product: Agree.com's architecture gives them multiple potential revenue streams beyond basic e-signature, including payment processing, escrow services, invoice factoring, and yield on stored funds. This optionality allows them to start with a disruptive free offering while maintaining clear paths to significant monetization as customer relationships deepen. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co

You have a one-shot deal on many of these situations. Your ability to spot that you've got a problem with that code or that checkout page and be able to deal with it is the difference between having a great Black Friday or having a so-so Black Friday.” – John O'Melia-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:27) - John's career journey*(06:45) - Trends impacting customer experience*(12:37) - How Contentsquare is using AI to improve experiences*(24:39) - How John defines ‘good data'*(27:13) - Real-time monitoring use cases*(33:08) - John's recommendations for upleveling digital strategies-------------------Links:Connect with John on LinkedInConnect with Kailey on LinkedInLearn more about Caspian Studios-------------------SponsorGood Data, Better Marketing is brought to you by Twilio Segment.
