This week, The Trek Files returns to one of our most personal corners of Trek history. Reinelda Estupinian,known lovingly as Reina, joins us again to share rare family photos and her firsthand memories of life inside the Roddenberry household. Hired in 1974 as a nanny for six-month-old Rod Roddenberry, Reina became a trusted part of the family for over three decades, eventually working closely with Majel Barrett Roddenberry at Lincoln Enterprises. Reina shares candid and touching stories of those years: traveling with the family, managing Majel's whirlwind convention life, and offering emotional support through Gene's declining health and Majel's final days. With affection and a few sitcom-worthy anecdotes, she paints a vivid picture of the private lives behind Star Trek's public legacy.

Russ Fradin sold his first company for $300M. He's back in the arena with Larridin, helping companies measure just how successful their AI actually is.In this episode, Russ sits down with a16z General Partner Alex Rampell to reveal why the measurement infrastructure that unlocked internet advertising's trillion-dollar boom is exactly what's missing from AI, why your most productive employees are hiding their AI usage from management, and the uncomfortable truth that companies desperately buying AI tools have no idea whether anyone's actually using them. The same playbook that built comScore into a billion-dollar measurement empire now determines which AI companies survive the coming shakeout.Timecodes: 0:00 — Introduction 2:15 — Early Career, Ad Tech, and Web 1.03:09 — Attribution Problems in Ad Tech & AI4:30 — Building Measurement Infrastructure6:49 — Software Eating Labor: Productivity Shifts8:51 — The Challenge of Measuring AI ROI14:54 — The Productivity Baseline Problem18:46 — Defining and Measuring Productivity21:27 — Goodhart's Law & the Pitfalls of Metrics22:41 — The Harvey Example: Usage vs. Value25:18 — Surveys vs. Behavioral Data28:38 — Interdepartmental Responsiveness & Real-World Metrics31:00 — Enterprise AI Adoption: What the Data Shows33:59 — Employee Anxiety & Training Gaps38:31 — The Nexus Product & Safe AI Usage42:08 — The Future of Work: Job Loss or Job Creation?44:40 — The Competitive Advantage of AI53:45 — The Product Marketing Problem in AI55:00 — The Importance of Specific Use CasesResources:Follow Russ Fradin on X: https://x.com/rfradinFollow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampell 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/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease 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.

Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke on how the government intends to approach tourism amid decreasing spend from foreign visitors.
In this episode of Sales Is King, host Dan Sixsmith sits down with Jon Addison, Chief Revenue Officer at Okta, to unpack how identity is becoming mission-critical in a world of AI agents, distributed work, and rising security expectations. Jon shares how Okta is evolving from product to platform, why identity is central to securing AI, and what it really takes to lead large, global go-to-market organizations today. The conversation ranges from AI ROI and agent security to sales leadership, relationship selling in a post‑pandemic world, and Jon's unconventional path from door‑to‑door sales and technical roles into the CRO seat.Key TopicsOkta's mission and why identity sits at the center of security and AI. The early, messy phase of AI and agents and why standardization and consolidation are coming. How Okta thinks about securing AI agents for 20,000+ customers through policy, platform, and design. Moving from “product company” to “platform company” and what that means for GTM, partners, and customers. Jon's view of the CRO role: being a change agent, driving parallel transformations, and balancing data with instinct. The “Formula to Win” (Focus, Compete, Lead) and the decision to specialize across Okta and Auth0 buying personas. Why enterprise selling is going “back to relationships” in an era of hyper‑informed, AI‑enabled buyers. Skill vs. art in sales: practice, rehearsal, and the X‑factor of human connection and courage. Methodologies, MEDDIC, and how frameworks and creativity can and should coexist. Jon's career path: door‑to‑door sales, technical consulting, product management, Oracle, LinkedIn, and now Okta. How to think about talent, instincts, and building high‑performing, international sales teams. Jon's definition of success: growth, unlocking potential in reps, and meaningful customer outcomes. HighlightsAI and agent deployments are still in early, fragmented stages, and most enterprises are experimenting without yet seeing consistent ROI—creating a big opening for vendors who can standardize and secure these environments. Okta sees AI agents much like cloud apps in the early days: scattered pilots that will eventually need centralized identity, policy, and governance—an area where its platforms are already embedded. The CRO role is fundamentally about being an empowered change agent: driving multiple transformation streams at once, building trust across functions, and having the courage to move fast without creating “one‑way doors.” Specialization across platforms (Okta vs. Auth0) and buying personas is unlocking deeper expertise, better customer conversations, and sharper competitive positioning. Enterprise sellers will increasingly face highly educated buyers who have already self‑researched with AI, which shifts the seller's value from information transfer to relationship, insight, orchestration, and outcome design. World‑class sellers treat sales like a craft: they rehearse, review call recordings, seek coaching, and study both customers and industries the way elite athletes study film. Strong sales cultures blend a clear methodology and shared language with individual creativity, ambition, and “brave” outreach that truly differentiates the experience for customers. Guest Bio – Jon AddisonJon Addison is the Chief Revenue Officer at Okta, where he leads the global field organization and is responsible for driving worldwide growth. He brings over 20 years of sales leadership experience from roles at LinkedIn, Oracle, and other global technology firms, and is focused on building high‑performing teams, scaling platform‑led go‑to‑market motions, and helping customers modernize and secure identity in the age of AI.Connect with Jon and OktaJon on Okta's leadership page: https://www.okta.com/company/leadership/jon-addison/ Okta newsroom and updates: https://www.okta.com/newsroom/ Connect with Dan Sixsmith & Sales Is KingDan Sixsmith on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dansixsmith/
Sure built the technology infrastructure enabling the world's biggest consumer brands to embed complex insurance products directly into their core transactions—from auto purchases to home loans. In this episode of BUILDERS, Wayne Slavin shares how Sure pivoted from a consumer mobile app to B2B infrastructure after insurance executives kept pulling engineers into boardrooms to see the backend, why prospects who choose to build end up on Sure's "wall of shame" after their attempts fail, and the vertical integration strategy that could make legacy carriers obsolete within 20 years. Topics Discussed Sure's founding: turbulence on a Vegas flight led to a prototype that converted 15.91% from ad click to insurance purchase The accidental pivot to B2B infrastructure when insurance C-suites started calling people into boardrooms to see Sure's backend system How Sure became "chameleons" matching each partner's corner radius, modal behavior, and loader effects to avoid breaking product experiences The three failed paths that create Sure's best customers: DIY builds, direct carrier partnerships, and naive marketplace strategies Why buy-versus-build objections signal misaligned incentives—enterprise buyers trading career-safe "buy" budgets for execution-risk "build" projects The vertical integration roadmap: from collaborative carrier partnerships toward turnkey solutions backed by sovereign wealth funds AppleCare as the embedded insurance template: multi-decabillion dollar business now integrated into device selection, storage, color, and financing flows GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Run weekend demand tests before year-long regulatory builds: Wayne built a prototype over a long weekend and drove traffic through Google and Facebook ads to test first principles—do people want to buy insurance online, how soon before travel, how much coverage? The 15.91% conversion rate justified committing a full year to regulatory partnerships before bringing on a team. For founders in regulated spaces, creative demand validation derisks the compliance investment required before launch. Watch what gets pulled into the boardroom: Sure pitched their mobile app to insurance C-suites who responded with polite interest. Then executives started calling colleagues into meetings specifically to see Sure's backend operations system—the infrastructure they'd spent hundreds of millions trying to build. After three or four meetings with the same pattern, Wayne realized the backend was the product. Pay attention when prospects ignore your intended offering but get animated about something else entirely. Target solution-aware buyers who've already failed: Sure's most successful customers fall into three categories: those who tried building themselves and lost institutional knowledge when engineers left, those who partnered directly with carriers who took customers away and sold them competing products, or those who naively tried offering 50 insurance options when California markets now have two viable carriers. Wayne explicitly doesn't consider prospects choosing to build as their ICP—they lack awareness of execution risk and will waste Sure's time before returning years later. Treat build decisions as pipeline, not losses: A prospect from 2020 called yesterday after their DIY attempt resulted in three people leaving the company with nobody understanding how their cobbled system works. Sure maintains a "wall of shame" tracking decision-makers who chose to build and no longer work at those companies. For infrastructure plays with 18-36 month sales cycles, maintain relationships with build-path prospects—they're future pipeline once reality hits. Product integration depth wins embedded deals: Sure's differentiation isn't database speed—it's becoming invisible within partners' products. Wayne describes matching exact corner radius, modal patterns, and loader effects so product teams don't fight the insurance insertion. This requires deep product expertise across partners' stacks. For embedded solutions, technical flexibility that respects existing UX decisions matters more than raw performance metrics. Sure enables complex insurance purchases without customers touching their keyboard—everything pre-filled from partner data. Map internal buyer incentives in enterprise deals: Wayne observed that enterprise buyers face perverse incentives: requesting more budget and resources for build projects looks good internally, but they're unknowingly trading stable "buy" expenditures for career-ending execution risk. Large companies will pay "a bajillion dollars to Salesforce" because it works and removes risk, not because anyone loves it. Help champions articulate how buying derisks their execution versus the alternative—it's not about your product superiority, it's about their job security. // 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 // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with Rosemary Everton, author of Maid in America: A Journey of Resilience, Determination, and the American Dream. Her story begins on a small Delaware farm and leads to building a thriving cleaning company that now employs hundreds. Along the way, she overcame teenage motherhood, personal loss, and countless setbacks through faith, hard work, and grit. Rose-mary shares how a letter she wrote about returning to school caught the attention of President George H.W. Bush, why she believes success comes down to focus and effort, and what she's learned from over 50 years of marriage and entrepreneurship. Rosemary's journey is proof that the American dream still lives—if you're willing to work for it.

Everyone has heard of the New World Order, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations as vehicles for global domination, economic enslavement, and world government. There was, however, a lesser-known criminal network that operated from the shadows for decades and was deeply involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, an assortment of massive financial frauds, sexual blackmail entrapment honeypots, money laundering on an unimaginable scale, and of course, many, many murders. There existed a 5,000-person criminal network with George H.W. Bush as the CEO that covertly ran the world from behind the scenes through the 1980s and 1990s that came to be known as “The Enterprise”, but most people would better recognize it from the name that author Danny Casolero gave it in his book that ended up costing him his life: the “Octopus”. — Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Meta and Deloitte Ireland hosted a Llama for Good Hackathon aimed at empowering Irish NGOs to harness the power of AI for public good. The event, hosted at Meta's International HQ in Ballsbridge, brings together leading NGOs the Open Doors Initiative, Citywise Education and NOW Group to co-create innovative solutions using Meta's Llama AI model. 16 engineers from Deloitte Ireland and Meta will be working on Meta's Llama to develop workable AI prototypes designed to address real-world challenges faced by the participating NGOs, with potential AI solutions ranging from partnering mentors with mentees, to streamlining course delivery for inclusive education programs. Meta's Llama is a free, open source AI model that removes cost barriers and makes advanced technology accessible to NGOs of all sizes. By enabling organisations to build custom solutions tailored to their communities, Llama fosters local innovation and rapid problem-solving. Its efficient design allows deployment even on modest hardware, making it practical for NGOs with limited technical resources. The Open Doors Initiative connects jobseekers with experienced professionals, offering guidance, career advice, and pathways to sustainable employment. Much of this work is currently manual, limiting scale and efficiency. Through the Hackathon, they aim to explore how AI can automate mentor-mentee matching based on industry, experience, and professional goals. Citywise Education, which supports young people in underserved communities on their path to third-level education, is also exploring how to streamline its back-office processes and course delivery - using today's Hackathon as a first step. NOW Group supports neurodiverse people across Ireland with access to training, employment and community opportunities. Through the Hackathon, they aim to explore how AI can link currently siloed data - especially around the publicly available JAM Card - to better identify potential users and business partners and use insights to drive growth and impact. Opened by Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke, Anne O'Leary, Head of Meta Ireland, and Emmanuel Adeleke, Deloitte Ireland partner in Technology & Transformation, today's event will support NGOs in hands-on AI prototyping, and will feature dedicated AI fluency sessions designed to upskill participants and deepen their understanding of artificial intelligence. These sessions will ensure that all attendees, regardless of technical background, gain practical knowledge and confidence in applying AI tools like Llama to their missions. Opening the event Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, said: "I am delighted to take part in today's Llama for Good Hackathon, hosted by Meta and Deloitte Ireland, aimed at actively developing new ways that AI can help NGOs deliver better services to the people and communities they support. Open-source technologies have strong potential to drive long-term innovation, economic growth and competition across our society. Ireland, as a key European digital leader, is building a future where AI is transformative and trusted. Today's event reflects the potential of this technology to create real world impact and positive change". Speaking at the event Anne O'Leary, Head of Meta Ireland, said: "Meta's Llama is a game-changer for NGOs. As an open source and free-to-use AI, Llama removes financial barriers and empowers organisations to innovate locally, building solutions tailored to their communities and missions. Our Llama models have been downloaded over 1.2 billion times, with real-world projects already making a difference - a massive endorsement of the potential for Meta's AI to drive innovation, economic growth, and competition. I'm very proud to see dynamic Irish NGOs like the Open Doors Initiative, Citywise Education and NowGroup benefit from Llama and wider industry expertise at today's Llama for Good Hackathon, and I look forward to seeing how the ideas...
Stijn Schmitz welcomes Christopher Whalen to the show. Christopher Whalen is an Investment Banker, Author, and Chairman Whalen Global Advisors. The discussion centers on the current economic landscape, with a particular focus on gold, monetary policy, and the future of the global financial system. Whalen argues that the world is in the early stages of a gold up-cycle, primarily driven by central banks increasingly adopting gold as a key reserve asset. He emphasizes that while the US dollar remains crucial for global trade, its dominance is gradually shifting. Whalen provides insights into the current economic challenges, highlighting inflation as a significant concern. He suggests that the federal deficit and monetary expansion are primary drivers of economic instability. The conversation explores the potential for alternative monetary approaches, including gold-linked bonds and revaluing gold stocks, though Whalen remains skeptical about a complete return to a gold standard. Regarding global currency dynamics, Whalen believes the BRICS settlement currency and attempts to challenge the US dollar’s supremacy are unlikely to succeed in the near term. He argues that the dollar’s utility in financing transactions and its widespread acceptance make it difficult to replace. However, he anticipates a gradual decline in the dollar’s global share, moving towards a more multilateral system reminiscent of the pre-World War II era. On investment strategies, Whalen recommends diversification, particularly advocating for 10-20% of portfolios to be allocated to gold. He is cautious about current equity markets, especially tech stocks driven by artificial intelligence hype. The banking sector presents mixed prospects, with consumer banking relatively stable but commercial real estate posing significant challenges. Ultimately, Whalen remains optimistic about the United States’ economic potential. He believes the country’s natural resources, economic flexibility, and inherent strengths will help manage current financial challenges. The discussion concludes with a nuanced view of economic transformation, suggesting adaptation rather than catastrophic decline.

In this episode of Treknopod, the hosts engage in a lively discussion about the latest episode of Enterprise, 'Shadows of P'Jem.' They explore themes of character dynamics, particularly focusing on T'Pol and Archer, and critique the portrayal of Vulcans in the series. The conversation is peppered with humor, cultural references, and personal anecdotes, creating a relatable and engaging atmosphere. The hosts express their excitement for future episodes and reflect on the evolution of characters within the Star Trek universe.
Rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Andorian Incident.” Directed by Roxann Dawson, this tense bottle episode introduces Shran (the great Jeffrey Combs) and repositions the Andorians as more than blue-skinned bruisers. We dig into the Vulcan monastery of P'Jem, the hidden sensor array twist, T'Pol's loyalty test, Archer getting absolutely walloped, and why this hour is often cited as the moment Enterprise “found its voice.”We also riff on transporter anxiety, Andorian antennae, “pink-skins,” and how this early Human-Vulcan-Andorian friction foreshadows the United Federation of Planets.
In this TreknoPod rewatch, Shoff & Captain Linda tackle Star Trek: Enterprise S1E6 “Terra Nova.” Is it unfairly hated—or a true low point? We dig into the ethics, first-contact fails, Archer vs. T'Pol's tactics, Phlox's best moments, and that infamous “we forgot we're human” plot hole.We also chat Voyager parallels (“Friendship One”), LeVar Burton's direction, Denobulans, Mayweather's fanboy moment, and tease next week's “The Andorian Incident.”Timestamps below.

Trip Tucker gets… pregnant?!

Popcorn buckets, cursed CGI targs, and the most awkward Decon Chamber scene in Star Trek history.
This time of year, we like to recommend some of the best podcasts of the year. So we've sprinkled a few recommendations throughout the show today while we let you enjoy our most downloaded episode of the year. It's about the history of the historically Black university that we never knew – Roger Williams University.Nothing remains of Roger Williams except a couple of historical plaques tucked away on Vanderbilt's Peabody Campus. Founded in the wake of the Civil War alongside Fisk and Meharry, this historically Black institution once thrived before being destroyed in two suspicious fires in 1905. Today we uncover the forgotten history of Roger Williams, visit the nearby The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise & Public Policy, and meet artists and scholars working to both memorialize the university as well as honor their ancestral heritage through monuments and art.

SummaryThe conversation delves into the complexities of Bitcoin custody, focusing on the distinctions between cold and hot storage, the implications of multi-party computation (MPC), and the evolving landscape of corporate custody solutions. It highlights the trade-offs between security and accessibility, the importance of cryptographic controls, and the innovative potential of Bitcoin's programmability. The discussion emphasizes the need for businesses to understand these dynamics to effectively manage their Bitcoin assets.TakeawaysCold storage offers the highest level of security but comes with operational costs.MPC can be used in both cold and hot environments, providing flexibility.Corporate clients need to educate themselves on the trade-offs of custody solutions.The spectrum of custody solutions ranges from self-custody to fully managed services.Cryptographic security is becoming more accepted in corporate culture.MPC allows for proactive security measures that raise the cost for attackers.The programmability of Bitcoin enables unique security and operational strategies.Multi-sig can be enhanced with MPC for better security and privacy.The risk of internal theft decreases with multiple custodians involved.Understanding the political implications of Bitcoin custody is crucial for businesses.Chapters00:00 Bitcoin Custody and Treasury Summit00:41 Institutional Custody: Definitions and Concepts01:39 Cold vs. Hot Storage: Trade-offs04:23 Operationalizing Keys in Bitcoin Custody09:25 The Spectrum of Custody Solutions16:44 The Political Perspective of Bitcoin Custody19:29 Advanced Techniques in Bitcoin Security27:06 bp-introoutro_v2.mp4
What happens when fans learn their beloved Star Trek is returning, but not the way they expect? This week on The Trek Files, we take a mid-season dive into the pre-internet letter-writing era of fandom with a look at Interstat #109, a Star Trek "LOC-zine" published just after the announcement of The Next Generation in late 1986. With Mission Log host and producer John Champion joining Larry, we revisit that first wave of passionate, skeptical, and sometimes prophetic reactions from fans adjusting to the idea of Star Trek without Kirk, Spock, or the original cast. From fears about recasting to early excitement about a new crew, these letters reveal a fandom both resistant to change and deeply hopeful for Trek's future. And while the tone may be more thoughtful than today's drive-by social media culture, the underlying emotions haven't changed. Together, John and Larry reflect on how fandom evolves, why backlash often masks deep investment, and how publications like Interstat helped shape the Trek we know today—slowly, one stamp at a time.

And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business?

In this podcast I discuss the evolution of AI in the enterprise and how we shift from a focus on individual productivity to a focus on multi-functional Superagents. In HR, where I focus, the idea of Superagents lets us rethink our HR practices from the ground up and vastly simplify the way our company works. And Superagents bring autonomy to business. Think about it this way in the world of autos. An “Assistant” is power steering or power brakes, helping the driver do their job. An “Agent” is like automatic lane control or collision detection, “taking over” the car under certain conditions. A self-driving car like Waymo or Zoox is a Superagent, shifting to the big goal: getting from point A to point B. In a self-driving car there's no need for a steering wheel or even driver's seat. Likely in a Superagent for recruitment the job of “recruiter” is vastly changed and in a Superagent for L&D an instructional designer may go away. Similarly a “digital twin” does not assist an expert, it literally recreates and expert, enabling that person to free up to do more. Listen to this carefully, it sets you up for some exciting new ideas in your corporate AI solutions in 2026.

When a Klingon Bird-of-Prey brings aboard a couple of disheveled humans, their ass-kicking and ship-stealing behavior has the High Council super pissed. But after Starfleet figures out who these augmented augments are, the Entrepreneur picks up Dr. Arik Soong and brings him along on their mission to avert a war. How is Captain Archer like a UPS driver? Which character has a cry-after-sex vibe? What's an extremely bad sign in a holding cell?
