CONSCIENCE AND CONVERSION Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. The 1989 Tiananmen Squaremassacre radicalized Lai, who transitioned from textiles to media, founding Next magazine and Apple Daily to champion democracy. Realizing the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party, he used his wealth to support the student movement and expose regime corruption. As the 1997 handover approached, Lai converted to Catholicism, influenced by his wife and pro-democracy peers, seeking spiritual protection and a moral anchor against the coming political storm.

FOUNDING OPENAI Colleague Keach Hagey, The Optimist. In 2016, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Ilya Sutskever founded OpenAI as a nonprofit research lab to develop safe artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Who actually deserves credit for founding America? Your eighth-grade history class probably didn't give you the whole story. For the first Narrative episode of 2026, Mike and David sit down with author Cynthia Scott to answer this question with insights from her book, Celebrating God, Our Founder, at America’s 250th Birthday. Together, they explore: How early settlers prayed their way to America and governed themselves using biblical principles. Why pastors were once the primary thought leaders in American communities. How the First Great Awakening unified the colonies and laid the groundwork for independence. What national repentance could, and should, look like as we approach America’s semiquincentennial. Americans are once again talking about repentance, prayer, and God’s role in our history. This renewed conversation suggests that our Divine Founder hasn't given up on our nation yet because, as John Adams wrote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." More About Cynthia Scott Cynthia Scott has led prayer initiatives across Pittsburgh and beyond, including citywide gatherings, prayer for national events, and a daily prayer call for the nation. Passionate about honoring God and praying for revival in America, she has written numerous prayer guides. Celebrating God, Our Founder, at America’s 250th Birthday reflects her conviction that God’s providence shaped the United States and calls believers to honor Him as our true Founder and help to shape our future through prayer. Cynthia resides near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Episode 301 kicks off the 300s with Colin Harms and opens with a milestone announcement, HyperVac Technologies and HyperFab are the official Title Sponsors of The Business Development Podcast for 2026. Kelly and Colin reflect on the relationship that started through the podcast, why community and consistency matter, and what it takes to keep raising the standard as an independent Canadian show that is competing on a global stage.From there, the conversation gets real about building through pressure as a Canadian business and making the shift from reacting to taking control. Colin shares how they intentionally diversified by building HyperFab long before the tariffs, moving from 100 percent subcontracted manufacturing to bringing fabrication fully in house so they could control timelines, quality, and execution. They break down why that decision sets them up to win in 2026, and how HyperFab is positioned to become a major player as the next chapter of growth takes off.Key Takeaways:1. One bold reach out can change everything, because the right relationships often start with a simple “I felt the urge to message you.” 2. Consistency builds momentum, especially when you create something every week that you genuinely look forward to and plan your life around. 3. Reinvest in what's already producing fruit, because sowing into solid ground is how you multiply results instead of starting from zero every time. 4. Relationships beat transactions, and loyalty comes from actually caring, not just “closing the deal.” 5. Community is a force multiplier, because it gives you a safe space to vent, learn, and borrow perspective when you're carrying it alone. 6. The mindset shift that changes everything is moving from “why is this happening to us?” to “what can we do about it?” 7. In hard seasons, don't bury your head or quit early, keep peeling layers, making calls, and finding a way even when people say it won't work. 8. Success leaves clues, so study what's already working, learn from competitors, and copy great systems without ego. 9. You can forecast all you want, but you still won't fully know what's next, so the real advantage is staying adaptable and willing to pivot fast. 10. Long term winners take control of the fundamentals, bring key capabilities in-house, hire the right people, and build the confidence to say “we can do this.” Ready to make 2026 your year?The Catalyst Club is a private community for founders, business owners, and leaders who are serious about growth, accountability, and real conversations that move the needle.

Auditioning for various dance productions around town, she landed a gig as a Laker Girl.

She eventually went on to choreograph Janet's next two world tours “Janet” and “The Velvet Rope” which earned her an Emmy nomination for the HBO special. She has also directed and choreographed national and world tours for many other artists. Tina is a 9-time MTV Choreography Award nominee and a 2 time MTV Award recipient for Michael and Janet Jackson's “Scream” and for Ricky Martin's “Livin La Vida Loca'.Her latest passion is giving back and helping young dancers navigate careers in the music industry by sharing and coaching them through her extensive experience and knowledge.Connect on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtinalandon/

Electric mountain bikes. Either you love ‘em, or think they're wack. Granted, the latter opinion has been losing steam as more brands release good e-bikes, and more riders toss a leg over one.

The conversation also kicks off with a rad (almost hour-long) dive into how Crestline Bikes became a thing and the challenges posed by making bikes overseas.Contents00:00 "My Watch Said I Was Dead" - Lars Sternberg08:54 What's In and What's Out: Weekly Highlights21:17 The Founding of Crestline Bikes and how they were made59:02 Transitioning to DJI Motors01:35:08 Consumer Behavior and E-Bike Sales01:53:20 Understanding Power and Performance in E-Bikes02:10:13 The Balance Between Analog and E-Bikes02:20:43 Regulations and Safety Concerns in E-Biking

In this conversation, William Norvell discusses the vital connection between physical fitness and mental health, emphasizing that both should be viewed as a spectrum rather than a binary state. He argues that just as one maintains physical health through consistent effort, mental health also requires ongoing attention and care. This perspective challenges traditional views that categorize mental health as simply healthy or unhealthy, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of mental wellness. Ultimate Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Capital Hacking and Guest William Norvell 00:02:40 - William Norvell's Background and Journey 00:05:27 - The Concept of Mental Fitness vs. Mental Health 00:10:00 - The Origin Story of Forte and Its Mission 00:12:57 - The Importance of Having a Support System 00:16:25 - Overview of Forte's Services and Economic Model 00:22:12 - Insights from William's Experience in Sharia-Compliant Finance 00:25:24 - The Founding of Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Its Impact 00:30:00 - Future Vision for Forte and Closing Remarks  Connect with William: Forte https://www.linkedin.com/in/wnorvell/ Learn More About Accountable Equity: Visit Us: http://www.accountableequity.com/  Access eBook: https://accountableequity.com/case-study/#register  Turn your unique talent into capital and achieve the life you were destined to live.

Jason Eubanks on Building Oracel: Raising $30M in 28 Hours to Disrupt the $236B Go-To-Market Tooling Market with AI-Native Sales AutomationJason Eubanks, CEO and Co-founder of Oracel, discusses how the company raised $30 million in just 28 hours—oversubscribed at $40 million—by solving a critical problem in the go-to-market industry.

“Be authentic.” “Own your story.” “Sharpen your edges.”We say these things at Havener Capital all the time (and Stacy says them a lot). But here's the real question: do they actually move the needle?Mike Denklau, founder of Dorset Agriculture, is here to tell you they do. Today, he's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop code-switching… and start building from your real story.Before launching Dorset, Mike was part of Harvard's endowment, helping manage a $4B+ agriculture and timber portfolio. Long before that, he was an Iowa farm kid. The journey from flannel in the fields to fund meetings in Boston is full of lessons for any founder navigating identity, fundraising, and first-time firm-building.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:How a kid from Iowa ended up managing billions at Harvard and how that full-circle moment sparked Dorset's launchThe overlooked opportunity in ag investing most firms ignore (and where meaningful, steady alpha may actually be hiding)How Mike landed his first investor without a pitch and without trading his comfy flannel in for a stiff suit to fit in Why boutique founders need to stop hiding behind polish and let LPs see the messy middle (because that's where conviction is built)What early-stage fundraising actually feels like and how to keep going when the uncertainty feels personal and loudThis isn't just a story about agriculture. It's a case study in what happens when you own your different, build what the market didn't even know it needed, and let your backstory do what it does best: open doors that fitting in never could. More about Mike Denklau: Mike was born into a third-generation farming family and raised on a farm in Iowa. He has 14+ years of investment and finance experience and was involved with $8B+ of transactions.Prior to Dorset, Mike was an agriculture investor at Solum Partners and Harvard Management Company. Previously, Mike held investment and investment banking roles at Hudson Advisors, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.Mike earned a MBA and JD from Northwestern University and a BBA in Finance and a BS in Political Science from the University of Iowa. Mike is also a member of the Illinois State Bar Association.Mike enjoys golf, skiing, and Hawkeye football.

Violet Lim, Co-Founder & CEO of Lunch Actually Paktor Group, and Jeremy Au explore how dating, expectations, and technology have evolved across Southeast Asia over the past two decades. Violet traces her path from studying law in the UK to banking in Singapore, before leaving a stable career at 24 to start Lunch Actually, now one of Asia's longest-running matchmaking groups. They discuss the early stigma around dating services, why lunch dating worked as a low-pressure solution for busy professionals, and the realities of expanding across markets like Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Their conversation digs into why some people find partners quickly while others repeat the same patterns, how coaching closes gaps in mindset and behavior, and why surface-level filters often block long-term compatibility. They also examine how dating apps reshaped expectations, how Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X approach dating differently, and how AI companionship is beginning to challenge traditional ideas of intimacy, loneliness, and commitment. 01:45 How she met her husband: Violet recounts meeting her university sweetheart through student society events, ICQ conversations, and a first lunch date that later inspired her business model.  03:35 Identifying the dating gap: While rotating through Citibank, Violet notices many eligible colleagues are single and constantly busy, realizing lunch is often the only time people can realistically meet someone new.  06:23 Quitting at 24 despite stigma: Violet explains why she chose not to practice family law, moved into HR and banking, and faced deep cultural resistance to matchmaking before deciding to go all in.  15:43 Overcoming early barriers: Advertisers refuse to run dating ads, landlords reject office rentals, clients hide to avoid being seen, and a bold half-empty newspaper ad becomes the breakthrough moment.  18:39 Scaling across Asia: Singapore and Malaysia grow naturally, Hong Kong requires language and cultural adaptation, and Taiwan fails when the team realizes the concept of dating does not yet exist in the market.  31:21 Coaching drives successful matches: Violet explains why some clients succeed quickly while others stall, leading to mindset coaching, image support, and WhatsApp critique to fix blind spots.  42:16 AI reshapes emotional norms: Violet describes how abundance, analysis paralysis, fear of better options, and AI companionship are changing how people define connection and commitment.

When Kevin Vermaak left his job in IT to found a brand-new type of bike race, he had no idea how much money he'd lose up front or how successful the resulting event would become. 20 years in, and the Cape Epic is one of the most famous bike races in the world. After leaving it behind in 2016, Kevin began mulling over a new idea — a gravel stage race that explored a completely different part of South Africa. This year, he launched Gravel Burn, a seven-day event in the Great Karoo. It took years for Cape Epic to grow into what it is today, but Gravel Burn attracted some pretty fierce competition from year one, including Tom Pidcock, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Matt Beers, and Lauren Stephens. In this episode, Kevin tells Payson about how a series of globe-trotting adventures in the early 2000s inspired him to start the Cape Epic, why he thinks Gravel Burn has the potential to be even bigger, and the logistics of planning such a remote, multi-day event. He talks about the things he hopes to do better next year, why he's actually glad that the infamous stage six of the race had to be neutralized, and why he needed nearly twice as many staff members as there were race participants in order to pull the whole thing off.This episode was brought to you by TrainingPeaks and Osprey. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

In this episode, we follow Madame Blavatsky's journey to America, where she teams up with Henry Steele Olcott and steps fully into her era as a spiritualism celebrity.

Epstein walks through the constitutional history — from the Founding to Humphrey's Executor to modern administrative courts — and explains how the Court's interpretation of Article II has evolved, splintered, and in some cases contradicted itself. The conversation covers everything from the steel-seizure precedent to the Federal Reserve, the structure of the administrative state, and the unresolved tension between originalism and the practical realities of modern governance.

Commercial Interests and the Anglo-German Fellowship: Colleague Charles Spicer explores the founding of the Anglo-German Fellowship in 1935, headquartered at the Metropole Hotel, explaining that it attracted major financial and media interests such as Unilever, which sought to protect vast assets in Germany and avoid war; while the Fellowship is often viewed retrospectively as pro-Nazi, it included industrialists like Robert Bosch who despised the regime but joined to maintain influence, highlighting how business leaders utilized the Fellowship to navigate the complexities of the rising Third Reich. 1933

Founding the Fellowship: Amateur Spies and the Quest for Peace: Colleague Charles Spicer introduces Ernest Tennant, a British WWI veteran deeply traumatized by the loss of his peers, who established a connection with Joachim von Ribbentrop, then an Anglophile, to bridge the gap between London and Berlin, leading to the creation of the Anglo-German Fellowship; key figures include the scholar Philip Conwell-Evans and Lord Lothian, with the Travelers Club in London serving as the operational hub where these "amateur spies" sought to civilize the Nazis through diplomacy. 1933

When we think of a generational farm we often think of multiple generations from the same family working the land over the course of centuries. Brian Dougherty and Sara Faivre are seeking to start a generational farm that is generational in it's founding and has a vision of being passed on to another generation sooner rather than later. This approach has changed the way they think about structure, roles, and a host of other crucial topics. We discuss this unique approach in this episode.Thanks to our Studio Sponsor, Understanding Ag!Head over to UnderstandingAg.com to book your consultation today!Sponsor:UnderstandingAg.comRelevant Links:WildTypeRanch.com
