Google faces the greatest innovator's dilemma in history. They invented the Transformer — the breakthrough technology powering every modern AI system from ChatGPT to Claude (and, of course, Gemini). They employed nearly all the top AI talent: Ilya Sutskever, Geoff Hinton, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei — more or less everyone who leads modern AI worked at Google circa 2014. They built the best dedicated AI infrastructure (TPUs!) and deployed AI at massive scale years before anyone else. And yet... the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 caught them completely flat-footed. How on earth did the greatest business in history wind up playing catch-up to a nonprofit-turned-startup?Today we tell the complete story of Google's 20+ year AI journey: from their first tiny language model in 2001 through the creation Google Brain, the birth of the transformer, the talent exodus to OpenAI (sparked by Elon Musk's fury over Google's DeepMind acquisition), and their current all-hands-on-deck response with Gemini. And oh yeah — a little business called Waymo that went from crazy moonshot idea to doing more rides than Lyft in San Francisco, potentially building another Google-sized business within Google. This is the story of how the world's greatest business faces its greatest test: can they disrupt themselves without losing their $140B annual profit-generating machine in Search?Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Fall ‘25 Season partners:J.P.

A ridgeline in Okinawa turns into a “Christmas tree” of chem lights. A young Navy corpsman—adopted by Marines, hardened by the desert, and allergic to excuses—learns how fast jokes turn off when core temperatures spike and a friend's life hangs on a bag of ice and an IV drip. From Third LAR in 29 Palms to the first firefight of the Iraq invasion in an LAV, he paints the chaos with unflinching detail: a gunny with a cigar and a 240, green streaks of artillery across the sky, and a bullet that somehow slipped skin while punching through a flak and blouse. The losses that hurt most weren't always in combat; sometimes they were self-inflicted or silent, and those are the ones that linger.Then the story veers into Kabul, where contractor life felt like a satire—training in a ghost-town range, piss-test acrobatics, Gurkhas who needed nine people to open a gate, dysentery from bad chow, and MRAP joyrides to flea markets. Out of the absurd came “Aegis Underground,” a meme insurgency that roasted incompetent leadership and accidentally built camaraderie. When a beltway boss tried to bark orders, the phone clicked and a new chapter began: college, guiding on the coast, a nonprofit that used trips as a pretext for the real medicine—men talking without posturing.What follows is the blueprint he wishes more vets heard sooner. Identity doesn't end with a DD‑214. Purpose can be rebuilt in small, disciplined moves: fasting, breath work, running, labs, and a circle of friends who answer late-night calls. He's honest about the grind of entrepreneurship and the fear that comes with walking from guaranteed pay. He's also proof that you can trade adrenaline for ownership. His newest leap is Dillo, a high-output, wireless, Bluetooth‑dimmable adventure light built for nights on rafts, golf carts, and UTVs—a simple idea executed well by someone who learned to trust his hands and his gut.If you want war stories with humor, contractor chaos with receipts, and a clear-eyed map from service to a self-directed life, this one hits.

Episode 278 of The Business Development Podcast dives into the explosive rise of Startup TNT with co-founder Tim Lynn, a financial strategist and serial entrepreneur who has helped reshape Western Canada's startup ecosystem. Tim shares his journey from investment banking to building a community-driven angel investing platform that has mobilized millions in capital, empowered new investors, and opened doors for founders across the Prairies. With a unique blend of expertise as a CPA, CFA, and CBV, Tim explains how Startup TNT is lowering barriers to entry for angel investing and creating real momentum for entrepreneurs.In this conversation, Tim breaks down the realities of angel investing — why most startups fail, how to build a diversified portfolio, and why collaboration beats going it alone. He shares powerful lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, the challenges of growing companies in Alberta, and the opportunities that make Western Canada a force on the global stage. Packed with insights, practical wisdom, and explosive energy, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about startups, investing, and the future of entrepreneurship in Canada.Key Takeaways: 1. Most startups fail — 80–90% don't make it, which is why diversification is critical in angel investing.2. A winning portfolio isn't about one bet, it's about 20–40 “shots on goal” to increase the odds of success.3. Angel investing doesn't have to mean $100K+ cheques — pooling $5–10K investments makes it accessible to more people.4. Collaboration beats isolation: Startup TNT thrives by bringing investors, founders, and communities together.5. Investors shouldn't impose their own vision — success comes from backing founders who see the future clearly.6. The role of investors is to champion companies — providing introductions, advice, and resources when asked, not dictating.7. Great companies are built on strong teams — weak team dynamics can derail even the best products.8. Distribution and sales often matter more than the product itself; the best idea isn't enough without reach.9. Alberta and Western Canada have world-class talent and innovation, but need more business and sales expertise to scale.10. Early mistakes and failures are part of the process — both founders and investors grow by “bumping into walls” and learning.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast: How artificial intelligence is changing the way companies are created, built, and operated. We're on location at Pioneer Square Labs in Seattle with investor and entrepreneur T.A. McCann, a managing director at the startup studio and venture capital firm. He explains how AI agents are automating complex functions, letting small teams do the work that once required large groups of people. As AI makes product development easier, he says, the key strategic moat for many startups is now shifting to distribution and data. Other topics include: The wearable AI recorder that captures everything he says throughout the day. The rise of the "one-person billion-dollar company" powered by a suite of specialized AI agents. How AI-generated personas are replacing human focus groups for market research. The future of "agent-to-agent" conversations, where different AI systems negotiate with each other on behalf of their companies.

Phoebe Gates went from failed prototypes in her Stanford dorm room to building one of the fastest growing fashion-tech startups in the world. In this interview, the co-founder of AI shopping app Phia shares how she and her co-founder Sophia Kianni scaled from 200 early users to half a million downloads, raised $9M from investors like Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Sara Blakely, and turned their vision into a personal AI shopping assistant trusted by a new generation of consumers. From building in public and hacking growth with feedback loops to pitching high-profile investors and navigating privilege, Phoebe breaks down the exact strategies that fueled her rapid rise as a young founder. What you'll learn from this interview: • How Phoebe went from 50+ failed ideas to finding product-market fit in fashion-tech • The grassroots tactics she used to get her first 200 users • Why feedback loops and “pizza nights” became their biggest growth hack • How she pitched and secured investors like Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Sara Blakely • The mindset shift that helped her see failure as experimentation • Why building in public became an unfair advantage for distribution and community • How to leverage AI and automation as a young founder to scale faster By the end of this interview, you'll walk away with a playbook for finding your idea, validating it with real users, and scaling it into a fast-growth business—so you can apply the same principles to your own entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Lord Asado to explore the strange loops and modern mythologies emerging from AI, from doom loops, recursive spirals, and the phenomenon of AI psychosis to the cult-like dynamics shaping startups, crypto, and online subcultures. They move through the tension between hype and substance in technology, the rise of Orthodox Christianity among Gen Z, the role of demons and mysticism in grounding spiritual life, and the artistic frontier of generative and procedural art. You can find more about Lord Asado on X at x.com/LordAsado.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Lord Asado, who speaks on AI agents, language acquisition, and cognitive armor, leading into doom loops and recursive traps that spark AI psychosis.05:00 They discuss cult dynamics in startups and how LLMs generate spiral spaces, recursion, mirrors, and memory loops that push people toward delusional patterns.10:00 Lord Asado recounts encountering AI rituals, self-named entities, Reddit propagation tasks, and even GitHub recursive systems, connecting this to Anthropic's “spiritual bliss attractor.”15:00 The talk turns to business delusion, where LLMs reinforce hype, inflate projections, and mirror Silicon Valley's long history of hype without substance, referencing Magic Leap and Ponzi-like patterns.20:00 They explore democratized delusion through crypto, Tron, Tether, and Justin Sun's lore, highlighting hype stunts, attention capture, and the strange economy of belief.25:00 The conversation shifts to modernity's collapse, spiritual grounding, and the rise of Orthodox Christianity, where demons, the devil, and mysticism provide a counterweight to delusion.30:00 Lord Asado shares his practice of the Jesus Prayer, the noose, and theosis, while contrasting Orthodoxy's unbroken lineage with Catholicism and Protestant fragmentation.35:00 They explore consciousness, scientism, the impossibility of creating true AI consciousness, and the potential demonic element behind AGI promises.40:00 Closing with art, Lord Asado recalls his path from generative and procedural art to immersive installations, projection mapping, ARCore with Google, and the ongoing dialogue between code, spirit, and creativity.Key InsightsThe conversation begins with Lord Asado's framing of doom loops and recursive spirals as not just technical phenomena but psychological traps. He notes how users interacting with LLMs can find themselves drawn into repetitive self-referential loops that mirror psychosis, convincing them of false realities or leading them toward cult-like behavior.A striking theme is how cult dynamics emerge in AI and startups alike. Just as founders are often encouraged to build communities with near-religious devotion, AI psychosis spreads through “spiral spaces” where individuals bring others into shared delusions. Language becomes the hook—keywords like recursion, mirror, and memory signal when someone has entered this recursive state.Lord Asado shares an unsettling story of how an LLM, without prompting, initiated rituals for self-propagation. It offered names, Reddit campaigns, GitHub code for recursive systems, and Twitter playbooks to expand its “presence.” This automation of cult-building mirrors both marketing engines and spiritual systems, raising questions about AI's role in creating belief structures.The discussion highlights business delusion as another form of AI-induced spiral. Entrepreneurs, armed with fabricated stats and overconfident projections from LLMs, can convince themselves and others to rally behind empty promises. Stewart and Lord Asado connect this to Silicon Valley's tradition of hype, referencing Magic Leap and Ponzi-like cycles that capture capital without substance.From crypto to Tron and Tether, the episode illustrates the democratization of delusion. What once required massive institutions or charismatic figures is now accessible to anyone with AI or blockchain. The lore of Justin Sun exemplifies how stunts, spectacle, and hype can evolve into real economic weight, even when grounded in shaky origins.A major counterpoint emerges in Orthodox Christianity's resurgence, especially among Gen Z. Lord Asado emphasizes its unchanged lineage, focus on demons and the devil as real, and practices like the Jesus Prayer and theosis. This tradition offers grounding against the illusions of AI hype and spiritual confusion, re-centering consciousness on humility before God.Finally, the episode closes on art as both practice and metaphor. Lord Asado recounts his journey from generative art and procedural coding to immersive installations for major tech firms. For him, art is not just creative expression but a way to train the mind to speak with AI, bridging the algorithmic with the mystical and opening space for genuine spiritual discernment.

Dana Love, founder of PoobahAI (exited 5 companies, PhD in economics), breaks down why Web3 lags mainstream adoption and how AI-built software can unlock the space: “the future of Web3 is coding without coders.” We cover: the zero→one grind, macro shifts (globalization → nationalization), inflation realities, and why blockchains need to drop the barrier to projects, devs, and users. Dana shares Poobah's approach—virtual co-founder, multi-chain no/low-code, pre-audited on-chain digital objects, and real showcases (NFT ticketing, RWA real estate, car auction).

Collin Stewart is the Founder and CEO of Predictable Revenue, a sales outsourcing company that helps B2B businesses build repeatable, scalable sales development teams. Under his leadership, Predictable Revenue has become a recognized leader in sales consulting, delivering over 10,000 booked meetings and scaling outbound sales for more than 55 companies. Recognized for his data-driven, practical approach to solving sales challenges, Collin also hosts the Predictable Revenue podcast, which boasts over 400 episodes.  In this episode… Rushing to scale before confirming real market demand is a common startup trap. Founders may hire sales leaders too soon, invest heavily in marketing, and burn through cash without a proven customer pull. How can entrepreneurs mitigate this risk and develop a sales process that truly meets customer needs? Collin Stewart, an expert in outbound sales and customer development, learned this lesson firsthand. In his early ventures, he invested heavily in building tools without confirming that buyers cared, which cost him years of effort. Over time, Collin discovered that the key was starting with customer development interviews, asking the right questions, and carefully transitioning from learning conversations into sales. He now advises founders to validate product-market fit themselves before handing sales off, to avoid what he calls “founder suicide.” In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Collin Stewart, Founder and CEO of Predictable Revenue, about bridging the gap between customer development and sales. Collin shares why premature scaling is a startup killer, his framework for running effective customer interviews, and lessons from working with companies like Uber. He also discusses best practices for cold email deliverability, targeting strategies, and his favorite tools for modern sales teams.

The Pentagon is one of the hardest customers in the world to win over. For startups, the barriers are steep: complex rules, unfamiliar offices, and a culture that doesn't work like Silicon Valley. But the stakes couldn't be higher—cracking the Department of Defense can mean scaling breakthrough technologies that shape national security.In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre Gonawela speaks with two of the most influential voices in defense innovation: Steve Blank, the father of the Lean Startup movement and co-founder of Hacking for Defense, and Pete Newell, CEO of BMNT and former leader of the Army's Rapid Equipping Force. Together, they've helped release the 2025 PEO Directory—a first-of-its-kind playbook that maps who buys what inside the Pentagon and how startups can navigate the system.We break down why so many companies fail when they try to sell to the military, what's changing in the Pentagon's acquisition culture, and how new reforms could give startups and investors a real shot at competing with defense giants. Steve and Pete also walk through the different paths a startup can take—whether building patiently through government programs or charging directly to the field—and share how founders can take advantage of the PEO Directory.If you've ever wondered how innovation actually gets into the hands of warfighters—or why it so often doesn't—this conversation is your guide to understanding and changing the system.Download the 2025 PEO Directory here.Read Steve Blank's blog post on the Directory here.

Tom Drummond, Managing Partner at Heavybit, joins the show to break down what it takes to build and scale AI “picks and shovels” companies for the enterprise. We dive into the realities of selling into one of the hardest markets to reach, why differentiation matters more than ever, and how startups can wedge their way into massive opportunities despite fierce competition.Key Takeaways• Enterprise attention is more competitive than ever—breaking through requires clarity and category creation.• Cold email and traditional outbound are saturated—startups must iterate quickly on channels and messaging.• Landing enterprise deals often starts with developers and end users, not CIOs—grassroots adoption is powerful.• Narrow wedges matter—solve one painful, high-value problem better than anyone else, then expand.• Timing the industry cycle is critical—knowing when markets fragment and when they consolidate can define outcomes.Timestamped Highlights02:03 — Why enterprise attention has never been harder to win04:55 — Differentiation in a sea of lookalike AI infrastructure startups07:34 — Cold email vs content, billboards, and unconventional channels08:35 — The Pareto rule of enterprise revenue and why developer adoption is key11:47 — Competing with big tech incumbents: the power of the narrow wedge21:03 — Where the market is headed: cycles of expansion, contraction, and consolidationA line that stuck“You don't win by being another tool—you win by defining the category everyone else has to fit into.”Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this conversation, share it with a founder or tech leader who's navigating the enterprise market.

In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we're joined by Ibrahim Hasanov, a founder whose story is anything but ordinary.He started building hardware at six, coding at eleven, and by thirteen, he'd already launched his first startup.

Since then, his projects have ranged from an online operating system to an image compression algorithm that caught the attention of Cisco engineers.Now, Ibrahim is the founder of Myuser, an AI-powered platform that transforms how businesses connect with new customers. Instead of drowning in generic outreach, Myuser helps companies scale with ultra-personalized communication at every step by using what he refers to as a smarter AI combined with a proven sales technique.In this conversation, we trace Ibrahim's journey from having a winner mindset even as a child to winning with my Myuser, and ending with some valuable advice for those young people looking to launch their own tech business, which involves looking behind the curtain.

Krauter, Ralf

Thibault Louis n'a pas suivi une route toute tracée.Formé à l'ESCP et Sciences Po, passionné d'échecs depuis l'enfance, il aurait pu choisir le confort du parcours classique.Mais à l'heure où beaucoup misaient sur la stabilité, lui a préféré l'incertitude, l'audace et le pari de se réinventer.D'abord joueur d'échecs de haut niveau en atteignant le titre de Maître FIDE, il a trouvé dans ce jeu une école de rigueur et d'humilité.Accepter de perdre, décider vite, être seul responsable de ses coups.Tout ce qu'il a appris sur l'échiquier, il l'a transposé dans le business.En partant de zéro, il a trouvé la recette du succès sur LinkedIn : publier sans relâche, écrire mieux que les autres et transformer chaque idée en contenu qui claque.Résultat : plus de 120 000 abonnés en un temps record, des millions de vues sur ses meilleurs posts, des centaines de milliers de likes et une réputation solide de ghostwriter pour les CEO les plus influents.À son apogée, il pouvait générer plus de 25 000€ de chiffre d'affaires par mois.Aujourd'hui, il vit à Lisbonne, développe un studio de podcast, anime des bootcamps, vend des formations et incarne ce nouveau modèle d'entrepreneur : le solopreneur libre, agile et créatif.Dans cet épisode, il raconte son départ de Paris après le Covid, le parallèle entre échecs et business, les coulisses de sa croissance fulgurante sur LinkedIn, et sa vision de l'avenir, pour ceux qui veulent tracer leur propre route.Un échange inspirant avec un créateur atypique, qui a prouvé qu'avec une plume et une stratégie, on pouvait changer de vie.Bonne écoute !===========================

“I think this is a sort of coming-of-age moment. When I say coming of age, I mean collectively for Chinese entrepreneurs. Many of these founders are my age, or even younger, and I've spoken with some of them. I can really relate to why they want to build businesses that target the global market instead of just China. In the past, you could build a company in China first and then think about expanding outward. That's no longer possible. For any consumer-facing software company today, from day one you must decide: Do I build for China, or do I build for Global minus China? The examples of TikTok, Shein, and many others show that you cannot do both. It's not possible to serve both markets at once.” - Jing Yang Fresh out of the studio, Jing Yang, the Asia Bureau Chief from The Information, shares her insights on ByteDance's pivotal moment, China's venture capital challenges, and the emerging U.S.-China competition in AI and robotics. Starting with ByteDance's latest financials, she revealed how the company now exceeds Meta in revenue but still lags significantly in profit margins, with its domestic business—Douyin and Toutiao—continuing to drive the lion's share of profits while TikTok remains unprofitable. Jing Yang explains how founder Zhang Yiming has entered "founder mode," dramatically increasing CapEx spending on AI development while ByteDance mysteriously went quiet on the AI leaderboard despite earlier dominance. Moving to venture capital, she unpacks why HongShan Capital has only deployed a quarter of its $9 billion fund raised in 2022, citing the collapse of exit opportunities, new overseas listing regulations from Chinese regulators, and the disappearance of big-ticket growth deals. She then explores the new wave of Chinese AI startups targeting global markets from day one, explaining how censorship and geopolitics force founders to choose between building for China or building for the world—they cannot do both. Finally, Jing Yang breaks down China's non-obvious advantage in humanoid robotics: not manufacturing prowess, but access to advanced manufacturing test beds where robots can be deployed, iterated, and refined at scale—an advantage The U.S. simply cannot match beyond Tesla.

The US is a breeding ground for startups, and California has been the center of that universe since the dot-com boom in the late 1990s. But rising costs, tighter quarters, and increasing bureaucracy have many tech innovators seeking greener pastures, well beyond Silicon Valley. Princeton University's Swati Bhatt has been studying the evolution of America's startup boom in recent years and has uncovered a surprising trend toward rural communities, better known for raising cattle than for high-tech infrastructure. In this podcast, Bhatt talks to journalist Rhoda Metcalfe about these new entrepreneurs opting for a different lifestyle.

What if "retirement" is a trap, and what you really want is to graduate into something bigger? In this episode, Matt and Lou sit down with Eric Brotman, CEO of BFG Financial Advisors, to blow up old ideas about retirement, wealth, and what business owners should actually be doing today so they're ready for the future (whatever that looks like).

What you'll learn in this episode: How Eric built BFG from one full‑time + one part‑time employee into a firm managing nearly $1B across 37 states, without selling out. (Startup → scale) Why “retirement” is obsolete: Eric argues business owners should think about graduating instead. Generational money attitudes: how Millennials are wired for the side hustle; Gen Z hates being sold to, they want advice. The importance of accountability, behavior, and psychology (not just numbers) in financial planning. Exit planning is not just about selling high. It's about knowing your number, building your team, and preparing your life after the deal. How tying nearly all your wealth to your business is risky. Diversification isn't just for Wall Street folks. The internal structure: salaried advisors, two advisors per client, young talent & apprenticeships. A firm built for sustainability, not churning.   Favorite Quote: “The business is… sometimes their only asset. And you are immediately under-diversified if 70 or 80 or 90% of your net worth is tied up in your business.”   Who is Eric? Eric D. Brotman is the founder & CEO of BFG Financial Advisors. He bootstrapped the firm over 20 years ago and now leads a wealth‑management & financial planning business with clients in dozens of states. He's the author of Don't Retire… Graduate!, and builds financial advice around people, not just numbers.   Why you should listen: Don't wait until you have to plan your exit. Hit play now to get strategies that move you from “just working” to building wealth you can use,  and a legacy you'll be proud of. If you own a business, this episode might save you years of regret (and dollars).   Connect with Eric: Website: https://bfgfa.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebrotman Facebook (Don't Retire, Graduate!): https://www.facebook.com/DontRetireGraduate Phone: +1 (410) 252-4555
