Podcasts about G2

This week on Sinica, I welcome back Jeremy Goldkorn, co-founder of the show and my longtime co-host, to revisit the "vibe shift" we first discussed back in February. Seven months on, what we sensed then has fully borne out — there's been a measurable softening in American attitudes toward China, reflected not just in polling data but in media coverage, podcast discussions, and public discourse. We dig into what's driving this shift: the chaos of American politics making China look competent by comparison, the end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy, the gutting of China hawks in the Trump administration, Trump's own transactional G2 enthusiasm, and the generational divide in how younger Americans encounter China through TikTok rather than legacy media. We also discuss the limits of this shift, the dangers of overcorrection, and what it feels like to watch the fever break after years of panic and absolutism in U.S.-China discourse.5:29 – The [beep] show in America as the biggest factor 8:38 – China hawks deflated: from Pompeo to Navarro's pivot to India 11:21 – Ben Smith's piece on the end of a decade of China hawkism 13:30 – Eric Schmidt and Selina Xu's Atlantic piece on tech decoupling 17:17 – Long-form China podcasts: Dwarkesh Patel with Arthur Kroeber, Lex Fridman with Keyu Jin 19:35 – Jeremy's personal vibe shift: distance from The China Project and renewed perspective 23:33 – The world turning to predictability and stability 26:05 – The Chicago Council poll: dramatic shift away from containment 29:09 – The generational shift: TikTok, infrastructure porn, and Gen Z's globalized worldview 31:15 – The end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy and why it mattered 37:03 – Kaiser's "Great Reckoning" essay and why it didn't get the usual hate 39:00 – The destruction of Twitter and the vicious China discourse culture 41:10 – The pendulum swinging too far: China fanboys and new hubris 43:20 – How the vibe shift looks from inside China Paying it forward: Echo Tang (Berlin Independent Chinese Film Festival organizer) and Zhu Rikun (New York Chinese Independent Film Festival organizer)Recommendations: Jeremy: Ja No Man: Growing Up in Apartheid Era South Africa by Richard Poplak Kaiser: Rhyming Chaos podcast with Jeremy Goldkorn and Maria RepnikovaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who was Rachel Reeves really speaking to when she hinted at higher taxes this week? How much of a threat is the Supreme Court to Treasury tariff revenues? And how useful is “G2” as a lens for the new global order? Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing unpacks these big global macro questions in the latest episode of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics. Also on the show, Chief Markets Economist John Higgins assesses whether this week's sell-off marks the end of the great AI-driven US equity boom, or was just a wobble on the way to new highs.Analysis and events referenced in this episodeRead: UK Autumn Budget 2025 PreviewRead: How could the Budget influence UK housing?Drop-In: India at the geo-economic crossroadsDrop-In: Commercial Property Outlook - What to watch out for in 2026Read: Reliance on tech is a double-edged swordRead: What to make of the mixed reaction to this week's big-tech results

W zeszłym tygodniu miało miejsce spotkanie Donald Trump - Xi Jinping. Co ustalili przywódcy obu państw? Jak dziś wyglądają relacje USA-Chiny? Czy te spotkanie może być historycznym i stworzyć podwaliny pod grupę G2, która będzie rządzić światem? Wreszcie: co z kwestią metali ziem rzadkich? I jak to wszystko wpłynie na Europę? Na te i inne pytania odpowiadają wicedyrektor OSW Jakub Jakóbowski i ekspert OSW Andrzej Kohut.

What does the story of Zacchaeus reveal about Jesus' heart toward those society despises or overlooks? K2. Zacchaeus climbed the tree out of curiosity — what does that “tree” represent in our own spiritual journeys? Are there areas where we're watching Jesus from a distance rather than welcoming Him in? Grow G1. The sermon described Zacchaeus as “the ruiner of dreams” before meeting Jesus. Why is it important to understand the depth of his sin before appreciating the depth of his transformation? G2. How does Jesus' willingness to stay at Zacchaeus' house challenge our ideas about who deserves grace or fellowship? G3. Have you ever experienced a moment when Jesus “called you down from the tree” — when curiosity turned into conviction or transformation? What changed afterward? Show S1. Zacchaeus' response was immediate and tangible — generosity, restitution, and repentance. What might “coming down from the tree” look like for us in how we live and serve others this week? S2. Who in your community might feel too far gone, too loathed, or too unworthy — and how might you show them that Jesus loves the loathed and receives the rejected?

Xi Jinping and Donald Trump just met in South Korea, agreeing to suspend the most acute aspects of economic warfare for 12 months, lowering US tariffs on Chinese goods, and resuming Chinese purchases of US soybeans. But Dr. Van Jackson explains why the inter-imperialist rivalry between China and the US endures, why talk of a G2 is premature, and what needs to be done to address the structural sources of great-power competition. Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions.

Send us a textAuthority doesn't live on your site alone—it's earned in public, where other trusted names choose to cite, invite, and stand beside you. We wrap our entities series by moving beyond links-as-votes and into the richer world of entity association: the patterns of mentions, partnerships, and consistent identity signals that teach search engines and LLMs who you are and why you matter.We start by reframing off-page SEO for the semantic era. Links still help, but the deeper win is co-occurrence with respected brands, experts, and publications in your niche. That's why digital PR and linkable assets remain essential. We share how to craft research, data-led case studies, and definitive guides that journalists and industry bloggers want to reference—and how to pitch them with clear, timely hooks that generate both backlinks and valuable unlinked mentions.From there, we get practical about your identity footprint. Think NAP for digital-first companies: one canonical name, URL, logo, and positioning statement, aligned everywhere from LinkedIn and X to Crunchbase, G2, and Trustpilot. This “digital foundational consistency” removes ambiguity in knowledge graphs and consolidates your signals into a single, trusted entity.Partnerships are your next force multiplier. Co-authored reports, joint webinars, and product integrations with credible, non-competing peers create repeated, contextual appearances of your brand alongside category leaders. Those patterns tell Google and AI systems that you belong in the same conversation—and they compound over time.Finally, we show how to become a quotable expert where journalists actually request sources today. With HARO fragmented, mapping platforms like Qwoted, Featured, and niche reporter communities is critical. Respond fast, offer tight, useful quotes, and keep bylines consistent to strengthen both your personal and organisational entities across high-authority sites.If you're ready to stop chasing hacks and start building a reputation that algorithms can verify, this guide gives you the playbook.

A version of this essay was published by the Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/adani-s-under-fire-we-ve-seen-this-before-3783432The repeated, withering attacks on the Adani group are getting to be tiresome, partly because they usually have no merit per se; and partly because the Western habit of weaponizing the narrative is now so evident. It is basically propaganda, with the pliant media manufacturing consent to support foreign policy.In a recent column in the Financial Times, Janan Ganesh wrote: “Politics, not tech, makes the world go around”. He may have a point, but at the moment, it is the opposite: the breakneck generativeAI race, and China's near-monopoly in rare earths, are fueling both trade wars and capitulation: for example, Trump said before meeting Xi that “the G2 will be convening shortly”. TACO, anyone?I said during Biden's days in “A US-China condominium dividing up the world between themselves”, that for the Deep State, a G2 would be a convenient (short-term) thing to do. Trump apparently has accepted that a) Chinese leverage is insurmountable, b) a division into spheres of influence would work best. Sadly, it would be disastrous for the US (and the Quad) in the medium term to make China Asia's hegemon.But it is happening. As BNP Paribas puts it in a research note quoted by the Financial Times, “[Washington]... is now dealing with a peer rival capable of imposing material economic harm on it — a relatively new position for the US and a development which, at least to us, confirms China's ascendancy to global economic superpower status.”It would be entirely rational for a G2 to prevent a third great power from rising, and India is the only candidate: Brazil, Russia, South Africa, the EU are handicapped in one way or the other, e.g. geography, resources, demographics, politics. Therefore the G2 are imposing a Thucydides Trap on India: wage economic (if not kinetic) war, and balkanize it.Everybody has learned lessons from the recent past (“Confessions of an economic hit-man”, anyone?): how Japan was ruined via the Plaza Accord, how Britain lost its pre-eminence by debasing its currency, and how the US allowed itself to be systematically de-industrialized by China over the last 30 years. They are not going to let India grow, certainly not easily.Thus Adani is a proxy for India. Mark Mobius, a legendary investor, said, “Investing in Adani is like investing in India”. That is not an exaggeration, because Adani has demonstrated the capability to deliver in more than one domain, especially in ports and airports (Disclaimer: I have a small position in Adani Ports). They have operations in Colombo, Haifa (Israel) and Abbot Point (Australia), which makes them a potentially major player in global shipping, not to mention their container ports at Mundhra and Vizhinjam (Trivandrum).There have been several waves of attacks on the Adani group, the first in June 2021 alleging improprieties in investments by Mauritius-based funds; the second in January 2023 with the ‘bombshell' Hindenburg (a short-seller) report alleging stock manipulation and accounting fraud; the third in November 2024, a US Dept of Justice allegation about bribery; the fourth in October 2025 by the Washington Post alleging the Indian government induced LIC to invest $3.9 billion in Adani firms.When the Hindenburg report was publicized as the “largest con in corporate history” by pliant media like Reuters, FT and WSJ, I wrote that “The Adani Group may not be derailed by Hindenburg”. I also did a video conversation with Professor Narayanan Komerath on the topic.In fact, in a “dog it was that died” outcome, it was Hindenburg that closed shop; Adani has recovered even after a second Hindenburg report accusing the SEBI chief as well.Adani has been successful in their ports and energy businesses; they are doing well in airports; their efforts in green energy and in data centers (the new Google AI data center in Vishakhapatnam) may yet prove to be winners. Thus Adani has shown it can compete well in difficult infrastructure sectors. It is true that these need to align with government policies.Which brings whispers of ‘crony capitalism', which is rich coming from the US, where ‘robber barons' like John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J P Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt created enormous fortunes primarily through cronyism. Have you heard the dictum “What's good for General Motors is good for America”? Boeing, the Koch Brothers, Goldman Sachs and Big Tech are current beneficiaries of State munificence.India has had its share of crony capitalists who provided citizens with shoddy goods at high prices. I don't dare name them, but you know who they are. Every country supports its national champions: Japan's zaibatsu, Korea's chaebol, China's State Owned Companies.And recently J P Morgan Chase announced it is investing $1.5 trillion in US industries such as critical minerals, pharma, semiconductors, energy, drones, cybersecurity, AI and so on. Surely this is after consultations with and a go-ahead from the US Government. Similarly, it is neither sinful nor unusual for the Indian State to support dominant, effective players. More power to Adani!800 words, 31 October 2025 This is a public episode.

Turneul asiatic al președintelui american Donald Trump a fost urmărit cu atenție în presa internațională. Întâlnirea cu omologul chinez este intens comentată. De asemenea, jurnaliștii caută să înțeleagă la ce s-a referit exact Donald Trump când a anunțat reluarea testelor nucleare de către Statele Unite. O întrevedere cu liderul chinez care – consideră The Washington Post -  pare să fi „coborât temperatura în războiul comercial dintre cele mai mari două economii ale lumii”, judecând după declarațiile lui Donald Trump: ocupantul Casei Albe a anunțat că tarifele la importurile chinezești vor fi reduse cu zece puncte procentuale. Potrivit The Wall Street Journal, Beijingul s-a angajat, de asemenea, să ia măsuri pentru a stopa fluxul de precursori chimici ai fentanilului, opioidul sintetic extrem de letal, distribuit Statele Unite. Precursorii chimici produși în China reprezintă o sursă de tensiune pentru Washington. Citeste siO miză majoră a războaielor comerciale cu care amenință Trump: fentanilul The Hill notează că, potrivit lui Trump, Beijingul a fost de acord cu o pauză de un an a noilor restricții adoptate la începutul acestei luni privind exportul de materiale din pământuri rare și minerale critice. Pauza este o victorie pentru Trump. De partea sa, Les Echos îl vede pe Xi Jinping drept câștigător:  A fost confruntarea diplomatică a anului. Și China pare să fi câștigat. Atât în ​​formă, cât și în fond, Beijingul a ieșit întărit după întâlnirea de joi din Coreea de Sud, prima de la revenirea miliardarului american la Casa Albă. Donald Trump, care a dorit să folosească acest „G2”, așa cum l-a numit el, pentru a-și demonstra „prietenia” cu omul forte al Chinei, a fost întâmpinat de un Xi Jinping hotărât și neclintit. Comentând afirmațiile președintelui Trump potrivit cărora SUA vor relua testele nucleare, CNN transmite că   ”Washingtonul a urmărit îndeaproape modul în care atât China, cât și Rusia continuă să dezvolte și să testeze arme avansate capabile să transporte focoase nucleare. Președintele rus Vladimir Putin a declarat la începutul acestei săptămâni că țara a testat o nouă rachetă de croazieră Burevestnik cu capacitate nucleară precum și o torpilă cu propulsie nucleară, cunoscută sub numele de Poseidon. Despre aceasta, liderul rus s-a lăudat că nu are rival, potrivit presei de stat ruse”   Citeste siBurevestnik, ”unica” - dar cam inutila - rachetă nucleară a lui Putin BBC amintește că ”nicio țară, cu excepția Coreei de Nord, nu a efectuat un test nuclear în acest secol - și chiar și Phenianul a anunțat un moratoriu în 2018. Anunțul lui Trump nu a clarificat dacă se referea la testarea unei explozii nucleare sau pur și simplu la un sistem de arme capabil să transporte o armă nucleară”. Asistăm oare la o escaladare nucleară între Statele Unite și Rusia?- se întreabă Le Figaro:  ”Trump nu detaliază ce înțelege prin „teste”. Există mai multe posibilități. În primul rând, testarea rachetelor fără focos nuclear, așa cum au făcut rușii cu racheta Burevestnik sau, eventual, cu Poseidon. Dar Statele Unite fac deja acest lucru. A doua opțiune ar fi efectuarea unor explozii care utilizează o cantitate mică de material nuclear pentru a declanșa reacții în lanț. Statele Unite nu au mai efectuat astfel de teste din 1992. În plus, cele cinci state dotate cu arme nucleare s-au angajat să nu le efectueze. Cea mai îngrijorătoare ipoteză, ar implica reluarea testelor nucleare subterane, precum cele efectuate în anii 1970 și 1980”.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dive into a loaded Wednesday night of revelations, humor, and geopolitical fireworks. The duo kicks off with Marjorie Taylor Greene's viral appearance on Shipwreck's show, where she suggests Americans could “rein in” their government by not paying taxes, before pivoting to deeper analysis on what that rhetoric means for public sentiment and federal overreach. From there, they unpack CNN's meltdown over Steve Bannon's talk of a Trump “third term,” examining the constitutional arguments, media panic, and symbolic language shaping the current political theater. The conversation expands globally as Trump meets with Xi Jinping, announcing the “G2” alliance that sidelines the EU and signals a power shift toward U.S.–China economic dominance. Other key topics include the Arctic Frost investigation, Biden's “autopen presidency,” Rumble's new monetization model, and the looming financial reset. As always, Jon and BB mix sharp geopolitical analysis with absurd humor, cars, dogs, and chat chaos, proving once again that no one breaks down the global narrative quite like the Devolution Power Hour.

,We get to hear some great advice from XIS G11 student, William Zhang, that includes the idiom, "入乡随俗“/ "When you enter the village follow their customs." We also get a chance to hear from XIS's former G2 teacher, Sidney Stewart: What she brought with her, all that she gained and learned during her stay in China, and what she wants to take back to her passport culture.

Episode 115: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Matt Matrisian, President of Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA). Matt is a pioneer in transforming the delivery of financial advice. His career has focused on simplifying the financial services industry, supporting its evolution, and enhancing the value to advisors. He believes the best investment outcomes begin with advisor-centric tools and capabilities that wrap around investors' needs. Matt's appointment as President of SEIA represents the culmination of a three-decade journey dedicated to reimagining how wealth management firms can scale with purpose while preserving the personal touch that defines the client experience. Kyle and Matt discuss how SEIA builds a platform that enables advisors to thrive. From transitioning independent contractors to equity partners to driving double-digit organic growth, Matt reveals how the firm empowers advisors with infrastructure, flexibility, and support. Matt also talks about the race for talent in the industry and how firms should develop the next generation of advisors to sustain future growth. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:14) - Matt's money moment (04:08) - SEIA's founding and growth trajectory (08:17) - Making the move from 1099 to W-2 advisors seamless (12:18) - Understanding the advisor lifecycle (14:04) - The role of Signature Investment Advisors (SIA) in the industry (15:51) - Should larger firms become their own TAMPs or asset management arms? (19:43) - How outsourcing can accelerate growth (25:19) - Delivering value that justifies the cost (27:15) - The race for talent: The importance of developing G2 and G3 talent (31:29) - How SEIA leverages technology (34:17) - How SEIA utilizes the power of AI (36:38) - Matt's outlook on the future of the industry (39:29) - Matt's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Growth requires structure, not just ambition. Success stems from clear systems—shared equity, technology, and culture—that give advisors both autonomy and stability. Outsourcing drives exponential growth. Advisors who outsource investment management and back-office operations free up valuable time to focus on relationships, growth, and client experience. Know your "why" behind growth. Growth isn't about chasing numbers. It's about serving more families who need financial guidance, while creating space for advisors to live fuller lives. Invest in G2 and G3 talent. To ensure long-term sustainability, firms must have a structured career ladder and a pathway for young talent to grow, get licensed, and eventually become equity partners. Actively recruiting and nurturing the next generation is essential in the industry's "race for talent." Quotes "I envision SEIA as always being a dual affiliation model. We will always have W-2 and 1099 advisors. We want to give the best of both worlds to advisors, and how they want to affiliate with us." ~ Matt Matrisian "To provide that flexibility and eliminate the swivel-chair experience of advisors having to go across multiple platforms, to give them a technology platform that integrates everything and consolidates into a data lake solution, and to surface their assets regardless of the platform or investment vehicle used for advice to digest and monitor, that's where we need to be spending our time." ~ Matt Matrisian Links  Matt Matrisian on LinkedIn Signature Estate & Investment Advisors Raymond James Charles Schwab Fidelity Investments Reverence Capital Partners Signature Investment Advisors Osaic LPL Financial AssetMark Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube

AI SDRs dominate B2B sales adoption despite mixed reviews. Blue Bowen, Research Principal at G2, reveals surprising findings from their latest AI impact research. The study shows AI sales development representatives lead adoption rates due to pipeline pressure, while AI sales coaching and training tools remain significantly underutilized. Bowen identifies AI-powered revenue forecasting as overhyped, citing the unique complexity of enterprise deals that historical data models struggle to predict accurately.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Forrester's latest report indicates that the AI hype wave is reaching its peak, with many enterprises expected to delay a significant portion of their AI spending until 2027 due to challenges in proving return on investment (ROI). As a response to increasing regulatory complexities, 60% of Fortune 100 companies are anticipated to appoint heads of AI governance by next year. This shift highlights a growing focus on compliance and risk management rather than pure innovation. Meanwhile, G2's findings present a contrasting narrative, revealing that nearly 60% of companies have successfully deployed AI agents, with a low failure rate and high satisfaction among users.Despite the positive deployment statistics from G2, a study by Atlassian uncovers a paradox: while individual usage of AI tools has surged, 96% of businesses report no significant improvements in efficiency or innovation. The survey indicates that only 3% of executives believe AI has driven transformational change within their organizations. This disconnect suggests that while AI tools are being adopted widely, their impact on actual business outcomes remains limited, leading to skepticism among decision-makers.Anthropic's recent research raises concerns about the security of large language models, revealing that as few as 250 malicious documents could effectively poison these models, compromising their functionality. This alarming finding underscores the vulnerabilities present in AI systems, particularly those relying on public or partner data. The implications for businesses are significant, as they must now consider the security of their AI systems alongside their operational capabilities.In the hardware arena, Apple and Intel are igniting a new chip race, with Apple launching its M5 chip, which boasts enhanced AI performance and graphics capabilities. Intel's Panther Lake chip is set to compete with improved efficiency and performance metrics. As AI technology becomes increasingly integrated into devices, managed service providers (MSPs) must adapt to the complexities of endpoint management and AI readiness. The evolving landscape emphasizes the need for governance, security, and effective measurement of AI outcomes, positioning MSPs as crucial enablers in this transition.Four things to know today 00:00 Forrester, G2, Atlassian, and Anthropic Paint a Complex AI Picture — Success, Stagnation, and Security Risk06:09 Apple's M5 and Intel's Panther Lake Show the Future: Every Device Becomes an AI Engine09:17 GoTo, Gradient, and LevelBlue Show the Next MSP Evolution — Refinement, Not Reinvention12:21 Microsoft's Final Windows 10 Update and IE Mode Lockdown Signal the End of Legacy Tolerance This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://scalepad.com/dave/

Attribution models are failing B2B marketers in today's complex buying journey. Blue Bowen, Research Principal at G2, explains why traditional first-touch and last-touch attribution creates misleading vanity metrics. He recommends using AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) tools like Profound to track LLM visibility and adopting holistic attribution approaches that analyze multiple touchpoint patterns rather than single conversion events.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I loved the Netflix series Succession. Every time I viewed an episode I had fond memories of my regional, Italian-family-owned supermarket client. I served them for 20 years. The business was started by a produce street vendor (G1) in Norristown, Pa, some 20 miles west of Philadelphia. He eventually opened a superette, a relatively small-sized market in the same town. He had five sons (G2). Each became the manager of a standard-sized supermarket in a widening territory. They eventually became the business owners, and hired people to merchandise and run the stores. They built a brand of strong service and innovative merchandising. The five brothers each had two sons. Nine of the cousins joined the business in high school. The 10nth eventually became a priest. As they became adults, the cousins replaced their fathers as department heads (Grocery, Produce, Meat, Non-Foods, Real Estate, etc) Then eventually, the 5 brothers retired and the 9 cousins became the owning operators of the business with the oldest named CEO.

The IPO market may be slowing down, but the discipline of operating like a public company has never been more important. In this episode, CJ is joined by Chad Gold, CFO of FullStory and veteran operator with previous stints at G2, SalesLoft, and Rubicon, to discuss how capital markets and financing strategies are shifting in real time. Chad explains why more companies are staying private longer, how the rise of private credit is changing the CFO toolkit, and why building IPO-ready discipline matters even if you never go public. The conversation also dives into one of his specialties—pricing models and sales incentives—covering how seat-based, usage, and blended structures influence rep behavior, comp plans, and long-term revenue quality, as well as how the wrong incentives can quietly derail a business. Finally, Chad reflects on lessons from his early career at Home Depot and how fundamentals from retail operations still inform his instincts in SaaS today.—LINKS: Chad Gold on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadgold/Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222 Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor:—TIMESTAMPS:(02:14) Sponsors – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(06:10) What's New at FullStory(09:22) Hypotheses, Data, and Unlocking Use Cases(10:13) Early CFO Career and the Evolution of Data(11:09) From Deterministic Models to Analytics-Driven Forecasting(12:17) Cohorts, Segmentation, and Revenue Quality(13:17) Why Companies Stay Private Longer(15:28) Sponsors – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity P.S.(19:01) Capital Flows Into Hot Sectors Like AI and Cybersecurity(20:20) More Companies Going Private Than Public(21:41) Costs and Tradeoffs of Being Public(22:46) Secondary Markets and Access to Top Companies(24:14) Staying Private Longer and CFO Planning(25:29) Keeping the Org Exit-Ready(26:10) The Rise of Private Credit(27:37) Banks vs. Venture Debt After SVB(30:47) Pricing Models Across Chad's CFO Roles(35:47) How to Incentivize Sales Reps Across Pricing Models(43:26) Lessons From Home Depot + Lightning Round—SPONSORS:Mercury is business banking built for builders, giving founders and finance pros a financial stack that actually works together.
