Episode 339 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Andy Palmer, serial entrepreneur, seed investor, and now author. Andy is one of my OG's, that being original guests. If you go way back into the archives of The VentureFizz Podcast, you'll find my first interview with him for Episode #22 back in 2018. In that interview, we talk about his full background story, his career building companies like Tamr & Vertica, plus investing in companies. For this interview, Andy and I connected for a different reason. He has written a book with his co-author, Paula Caliguiri titled “Live for a Living: How to Create Your Career Journey to Work Happier Not Harder.” The two met on a Bumble date which resulted in a friendship and a collaboration for this book, which is useful at any stage of one's career. It's ultimately a guide to designing a life that leverages your personal values, motivators, and goals in your career. I'm a fan of audiobooks, so it was fun listening to Andy and Paula narrate the book and I have to admit, they both have great voices for it. Plus, it was cool to know some of the people that they highlight in the book like Elizabeth Lawler, CEO & Co-Founder of AppMap, who we recently on my podcast. The format of this interview is different from my normal style which was a fun change of pace. In this episode, we chat about: * How Andy got involved in AI back in the 80's and how this is his third AI hype cycle, plus the details about his latest company called DBOS. * The inspiration behind the book. * The 5 phases of ideal careers that being: Starter Phase, Foundational Phase, High-Growth Phase, High-Focus Phase, and Give-Back Phase. We go through each phase in detail. * Why a simultaneous career path can be a benefit. * The advantages of working at startups and how it can push your career forward. * And more! There is obviously a lot more to this book than what we had the opportunity to chat about, so make sure you check it out! The title again is Live for a Living and you can find it on Amazon or the audio version Spotify or any other major outlet.

Daniel Bernard has enjoyed over twenty years' experience in the SportsIndustry, having built operations, companies and platforms acrossmultiple territories and jurisdictions. As an active strategic investor intostartups and early-stage companies in the sports and sports technologysector, Daniel is launching new initiatives to help optimise the use ofdata and technology by Sports Associations and Federations.Born in London in the UK, Daniel has lived in France, Spain, and Italybefore settling in Israel in 1999. Working in television for the Sports Channel offered a broad entry into the industry, and he worked from the ground up through logistics and production to deal with broadcast rights acquisitions.In 2004, Daniel founded the Sports Data agency that was to become Redwood International Sports. Redwood was a first mover in advanced analysis of player and team performance always adopting innovative technologies to increase the company's capacity to deliver quality data and insights for its customers.Daniel turned his focus in 2015 to the gaming sector and created brand new platforms for emerging markets, dealing with everything from compliance and regulation to product and IT delivery. As part of this journey, he founded Suntech Innovation in Kyiv, Ukraine, delivering fully customised and turnkey product for the specific market.Grateful to continue working in an industry he enjoys so much, Daniel is an active investor in the sports sector. In addition to his own angel investing, he is a Venture Partner with Mindspring Capital, sits on the advisory board for Sharp Alpha Fund and is connected with a number of VC funds with a global reach into the Sports Industry. In addition, he works with selected companies as a board member or in an advisory role, to bring value through strategic, operational and business development partnerships.Daniel wholeheartedly believes in servant leadership. At the center of his core values are a dedication to hard work, high energy, an entrepreneurial spirit and creating teams that embrace diversity of thought as much as they embrace diversity of background. He is a strong advocate for gender equality and believes that, beyond being morally and ethically correct, it is also extremely wise commercially.After over two decades in the Sports Industry, Daniel is now looking to maximise his focus on creating a positive impact on people's lives through sport, both children and adults alike and in parallel via commercial and philanthropic initiatives. At the heart of this endeavour, he has founded Ride For Unity, bringing together business leaders, trailblazers and athletes from around the world to cycle together and spread the values of Diversity, Tolerance, Inclusion and Sustainability through active sessions with schools, universities and commercial forums.His Top Leadership Tip is: Leadership is so often associated with a person who stands at the front, strong in command with others following them wherever they go.My thoughts on leadership have evolved to see things differently. Each of us has our own capabilities, our own possible future. We cannot know what the best future for those around us can be. Hence, in leadership, the best we can do is to be like a shepherd at the back to allow them to step forward themselves without fear, as we guide and support them in their journey. It is a leader's responsibility to help steer whilst still allowing our people to find their own path to their best self. Be the Shepherd your people need, rather than the commander they think they want. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When I first had the idea for the PIN, I knew I wanted to include Joe Polish in a way that's more than making an Easter egg out of his ELF acronym. Joe and I had a conversation in which we discussed the benefits of having a network and getting to do your Life's Work, what we look for in investable entrepreneurs and much more. Highlights from this episode: Don't BS people. Your reputation will travel in this community, so you need to build that reputation on honesty and respect. Have the wherewithal to do what you say you're going to do. The importance of being genuine and respectful when asking for (and dealing with) Other People's Money, especially when working with an Entrepreneur Investor. You don't need to be the smartest person in the room if you're in a room where everybody is getting smarter. We learn by watching each other, taking advice, and being humble. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Joe and I talk about how even if you don't like someone, you can still make money with them, but as you mature and evolve as an entrepreneur (and as an individual), at some point, you have to ask yourself if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Colin met Preston Phillips on a HYPE Sports Innovation "Ask Me Anything" webinar and was so impressed with his genuine desire to help entrepreneurs and their companies that we had to invite him on the show to share his experiences with you. "Through an investment bank that we created, we had the opportunity to work with some different leagues that helped them grow in various ways. I think it's great what cricket has been able to do to progress the sport and position the product to reach a larger, more diverse fan base. I would argue the same with rugby and how they changed their game over the course of the last 10-12 years with Rugby Sevens and brought it to The States. And we're seeing this in a number of other sports as well and golf is now learning from them." ______________________________________________ If you love golf, we have exclusive deals on golf gear and services that we use and support!

I'm so excited to announce that with this episode we have hit a new milestone and that is #300 episodes of The VentureFizz Podcast!!! Did you know that my first interview was published 5 years ago, so I am blown away to reach this milestone. Starting a podcast is not necessarily hard, but keeping up with it is certainly one of the trickiest parts. I believe that the key criteria for a successful, long standing podcast is that the host needs to be genuinely interested in the topic that is being discussed. It goes without saying that I am fascinated by the journey of building startups and I consider myself to be incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to interview so many amazing entrepreneurs and investors. I want to thank them all for taking the time to share their stories and advice with our audience. So, for Episode #300, I couldn't think of a better guest than Diane Hessan - Entrepreneur, Investor, Board Member, and Columnist. Diane has accomplished so much through out her career and during this interview she shares so many great stories from each step along the way including building Communispace (now called C Space) which was the first company to leverage social media for consumer insights. We had a lot of ground to cover, so we discuss a lot including: * Diane's background story growing up in Pennsylvania and why she completed her undergrad at Tufts in three years, plus the story of her very unique application to Harvard Business School. * Her career path as a Brand Manager for General Foods and later rising through the ranks at The Forum Corporation. * The full story of Communispace and how the company pivoted and disrupted the market research industry which led to an acquisition by Omnicom. * Authoring a book and becoming a nationally recognized expert on the American voter. * Serving on the Board of Directors at companies like Panera Bread, Brightcove, Eastern Bank, and others. * What it's like giving a commencement address. * Saying “yes” and the importance of serendipity. * And so much more! Ok quick side note, as you know this is Episode #300. This means we have quite the library of interviews with entrepreneurs and investors in the tech industry. I interview legends like Diane who are wildly successful, but I also interview first time entrepreneurs, as I like to provide insights and advice for entrepreneurs at different stages. So, if you haven't explored our full catalogue, you can go to venturefizz.com/podcast or any of the major streaming players like Spotify, Apple, Google Play, Soundcloud, and others. I hope you find these interviews useful, as there are so many great lessons learned!

Jaclyn and I get into some of the nitty gritty when it comes to investing lingo, and in telling her story, she offers up a lot of practical advice career advice for everything from navigating lay-offs and contracting work to making a big pivot.
