In this episode of Shop Talk, the conversation dives into the current state of commercial real estate—and why local expertise matters more than ever. Jeremy and Will break down recent market movement across asset classes, including a noticeable rebound in hospitality, and what that signals for broader real estate momentum heading into the year.A major focus of the discussion centers on sub-market specialization and how brokers who truly know their neighborhoods gain a powerful edge. From understanding which owners are over-levered or fatigued to spotting opportunities before they hit the open market, the episode explores how information asymmetry, consistency, and boots-on-the-ground relationships translate into real deals.Jeremy and Will also tackle the challenge of competing with larger firms and explain how smaller brokers can carve out meaningful market share by showing up, providing value, and becoming the trusted local expert.

Every leader faces it… the moment you realize someone on your team just isn't cutting it..Too often, leaders hold onto struggling employees out of compassion, hope, or fear of being “too harsh.” But avoiding hard decisions can quietly drain energy, stall team performance, and create bigger problems down the line.In this episode of Let's Talk, People, Emily sits down with Mary Beech, Chief Growth Officer at Thorne, to explore one of leadership's toughest balancing acts: managing performance with clarity and care and knowing when it's time to call it. Together, they unpack how to recognize when coaching isn't enough, how to make confident calls under pressure, and how to support your high performers. Mary shares personal lessons she learned the hard way, from holding on too long, to learning that accountability is an act of empathy.Whether you're a new manager navigating difficult conversations or a seasoned leader looking to sharpen your performance management skills, this episode offers practical tools and mindset shifts to help you lead with clarity, fairness, and heart.Timestamps: [00:01:15] Acting with Empathy and Accountability in Tough Decisions –Underperformance isn't a relationship issue. It's a team issue. As leaders, our job is to protect the business and the team, not just preserve one relationship. Mary describes how delaying difficult performance decisions can quietly erode trust, credibility, and team morale.[00:07:32] The Sprint vs. Marathon of Managing Performance – Be very intentional about which people you spend your time on. Treat your coaching and attention like a portfolio. Emily and Mary unpack when it's appropriate for leaders to overinvest time with certain team members, and how leaders can leverage strategies to balance time between both high and low performers.[00:13:09]: Evolving Roles from Generalists to Specialists – As your business evolves, not everyone will still fit the needs. What worked in an early, generalist-heavy stage may not work in a more specialized, scaled environment. Emily and Mary discuss how sometimes the most caring choice is to clarify the new expectations and support someone to shift roles or move on.[00:22:22] Feedback as a Lifelong Skill – Giving clear and timely feedback gives you credibility and reinforces you as the leader. Mary reflects on why feedback isn't a box to check but a practice to keep refining, even for experienced executives. They discuss real-time coaching and how ongoing conversations strengthen your credibility, align the broader leadership team, and give the individual a real chance to adjust.Access the episode transcript.Join the Conversation: This year we're taking audience questions!

Key Takeaways: Most significant shifts in public company governance include expectations regarding: Board composition – i.e., skill levels and the balance of generalists and specialists; technology and the need for directors to stay ahead of emerging risks; and timely communication to and engagement with shareholders. Assessing director education and skill enhancement: The overall success of the company is the main indicator; adoption of leading practices and effective corporate communication suggest directors are staying educated. Solving tension points for dual investor/board member roles: Clear policies and procedures are essential to manage conflicts of interest, especially regarding time horizons and objectives. Benefits of active investors enhancing governance: Active investors can refresh board conversations, drive accountability, and foster value alignment through broad participation and routine evaluations. Generalist vs. specialist directors in the current environment: Future-focused directors need a wide range of overlapping experiences to ensure no single person dominates decision-making and to facilitate comprehensive checks and balances.

In this episode I dive into an excerpt from G.K Chesterton's essay, The Emancipation of Domesticity, which gives us an important insight about the roles of men and women. Chesterton argued that men are specialists and women are generalists and paired with the greater male variability, we can use this insight to uncover many of the cultural, domestic, and social issues that exist between us.Listen in to learn about what Chesterton thought a woman's duty was, why the west have the most free women on the planet, why modern women want to quit their high-status outside of the home jobs, why women are more geared towards generalization, and much more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro: Ancient Intelligence01:22 — Announcement: True North Mastermind for Men 02:53 — G.K.

What happens when you treat vinyl not just as music, but as an asset class? In this episode of Numbers and Narratives, we sit down with Cory Huff, a self-described technology nerd and marketing enthusiast who helped build recommendation engines at Discogs, the world's largest music marketplace. We dig into how hardcore vinyl collectors think, why “collection value” matters more than taste, and what that means for building smarter recommendation systems in a world of rare pressings, promos, and blood-infused records.From there, we zoom out into Cory's career as a T-shaped marketer across B2B and B2C, from music and fine art to his current role as Director of Marketing at Andrews Cooper, a B2B engineering services firm building everything from automated eyelash machines to a phone-battery-powered defibrillator. We also talk about the “bike shed problem” in marketing, the danger of overstuffed job descriptions, why so many marketers are scared to ship bold ideas, and how to build data-driven, AI-powered workflows without losing the human judgment that makes campaigns actually resonate. If you care about marketing ops, recommendation engines, AI, and building a truly cross-functional career, this one's for you.https://www.linkedin.com/in/coryhuff/

Recorded November 19, 2025, from the Benchmark Conference in Los Angeles.In this critical episode of The Compass, Sam Pelaez (President, CEO & CIO of Olive Resource Capital) and Derek Macpherson (Executive Chairman of Olive) dissect a fundamental shift occurring in mining project finance as traditional debt-equity structures replace the exotic capital arrangements that dominated recent years.KEY TOPICS COVERED:Troilus Gold's Financing BreakthroughThe expanded debt facility announcement signals developers can now credibly finance construction independently rather than depending entirely on takeovers. At $4,100 gold, project profitability has driven down the cost of capital materially, enabling traditional banking structures instead of 20%+ private equity arrangements."The Generalists Are Coming"Nine-figure equity financings now occur weekly, with non-resource institutions like Fidelity regularly participating. This marks a dramatic expansion of available capital pools beyond traditional mining investors and validates the sector's investment thesis to Wall Street.Year-End Market DynamicsNo tax loss selling pressure this year as most mining equities are substantially higher than purchase points. However, seasonal liquidity constraints from holiday spending may create temporary dislocations and attractive entry points ahead of typically strong Q1 performance.Flow-Through Financing RushCanadian flow-through funds must deploy 2025 capital before December 31st, creating a year-end rush of placements working down the capitalisation spectrum from larger companies to progressively smaller explorers.Building as Negotiating LeverageDevelopers who can credibly "threaten to build" maintain stronger negotiating positions with potential acquirers. Clean capital structures without permanent streaming impairments make projects more valuable takeover targets post-construction.Why This Matters:Traditional banking institutions have long been willing to finance mining projects but were constrained by developers' inability to assemble the equity component without destroying capital structures. With both debt and equity now accessible at reasonable rates, a select group of well-positioned developers may advance independently, populating the mid-tier producer pipeline essential for an industry facing depletion of existing assets.ABOUT OLIVE RESOURCE CAPITAL:Olive Resource Capital is a specialist mining investment fund focused on precious metals, base metals, and battery metals across the development and production spectrum.

David Epstein, author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, dismantles the myth that early specialization is the only path to excellence. Drawing from research on elite athletes, musicians, and scientists, David reveals how individual variability in learning means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to skill development. He reframes the Tiger Woods and Mozart narratives, showing how their success came from internal drive, not just parental pressure.

At $1.2M, everything stopped working.Landscape company Downer Brothers could add more crews, more equipment, and watch revenue grow. Until they couldn't. Profit tanked. Hours piled up. Same money.Nicole Downer had to reposition her entire business to break through to $10M. Generalists became specialists. Gut-feel decisions became data-driven. And the hardest part? Helping longtime team members let go of roles that defined them so they could become experts at one thing.She calls it "ghost org charting" - imagining what the company looks like at $10M, then working backward to reposition today. It forces hard conversations. Especially with people you care about.This is what repositioning for growth actually costs. Not just new messaging.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Brien Lundin to the show. Brien Lundin is Editor of 'The Gold Newsletter.com' & Host of the New Orlean's Investor Conference. Lundin discusses the current gold market, emphasizing that despite recent volatility, the fundamental factors driving the bull market remain strong. He believes the current market is part of a secular bull market with potential for gold prices to reach between $6,000 to $8,000, and potentially even higher in a significant monetary reset scenario. Central bank buying and the ongoing "debasement trade" continue to support gold's upward trajectory. Regarding mining stocks, Lundin argues that miners are still significantly undervalued. He anticipates that upcoming earnings reports will demonstrate the robust economics of gold projects at current prices. He recommends focusing on larger producers like Newmont and Newcrest in the near term, while also highlighting opportunities among developers and exploration companies. Lundin is optimistic about the increasing capital flow into the mining sector, viewing it as a positive development despite concerns about "dumb money". He sees this as part of a broader commodity super cycle affecting multiple metals, with particularly strong potential for base metals and energy metals due to supply constraints and growing demand. On silver, Lundin is bullish, noting the metal's potential for significant price appreciation. He highlights the inelastic supply of silver, with 70% of production being a byproduct of other metal mining, and expects industrial demand to consume all available mine supply in the coming years. The conversation also touched on other commodities like copper, vanadium, and zinc, with Lundin expressing optimism about their long-term potential driven by supply constraints and increasing demand. He emphasized the importance of understanding the sector, spreading risk, and being patient with investments. Lundin concluded by promoting his upcoming New Orleans Investment Conference, describing it as the longest-running investment event in the world, featuring numerous expert speakers across geopolitics, macroeconomics, and metals investing.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Joe Marconi, former shop owner, Elite Worldwide coach, is defining the challenge in today's automotive aftermarket: the need for specialization. The End of the Generalist Era - Modern vehicles are too complex for the “all makes, all models, all repairs” approach. Marconi shared that when he tried doing everything—from transmission rebuilds to diagnostics—profitability disappeared. The time, training, and tooling required simply didn't make sense. Specialization: The Smarter Path Forward - Like medicine's cardiologists and neurologists, automotive professionals must focus their expertise. Specialization boosts productivity, profit, and performance while creating better outcomes for customers. Redefining Professionalism and Language - Replace “mechanic” or “tech” with “technologist” or “specialist.” - Use precise titles like “calibration specialist” to build client confidence. - Adopt “Essential Skilled Occupation (ESO)” to better reflect the professionalism of today's technicians. Building Career Paths and Attracting Talent - Specialization creates clear career pathways and helps combat the technician shortage, offering young people a profitable, purpose-driven alternative to a four-year degree.

This weekend's KE Report dives deep into the gold market's extraordinary run through the eyes of generalist investors and traders. We explore what's driving the bull market in PMs and trading strategies for those invested in the metals and equities. Chief Investment Officer Peter Boockvar explains why gold's move isn't a “fear trade” but part of a global currency realignment, while fund manager Dana Lyons breaks down how to manage profits, hedge risk, and identify the next sectors poised to lead. Segments Segment 1 & 2 - Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and author of The Boock Report on Substack, explains that gold's surge past $4,000/oz is being driven by multi-year central-bank buying and de-dollarization (with rising ETF inflows), not “safe-haven” fears. He also highlights silver's catch-up potential and tight supply, improving margins for gold/silver miners, copper's constructive setup amid disruptions, a contrarian-bullish view on oil & gas, growing government interest in critical minerals, and the importance of watching for parabolic tops. Click here to follow Peter at The Boock Report on Substack   Segment 3 & 4 - Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of Lyons Share Pro, wraps up the show assessing the sharp pullback in precious metals on Thursday. We discuss trading strategies he is using - urging against chasing, advocating trimming “windfall” gains at Fibonacci/technical levels (with GLD support near 330), and favoring redeployment into emerging relative strength. He notes his risk models remain bullish, is watching uranium/nuclear, and recently added exposure to biotech and Ethereum while using broader-market hedges rather than sector shorts.

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King breaks down the professional development paradox in emergency management. As challenges grow more complex and interdependent, senior leaders are often stuck between outdated training models and increasing demands. Many find that after 15 years, professional growth slows, leaving them intellectually stranded. Kyle highlights the false choice between tactical training and generic leadership courses, and argues for a third path: intellectual infrastructure that connects seasoned professionals across fields. Drawing from research and real-world conversations, he challenges listeners to rethink how expertise evolves and why staying curious is essential. Show Highlights [00:53] Training cycles vs fast-moving demands [01:40] Fundamentals and cross-sector challenges [02:05] After-action reviews and slow adaptation [03:14] Climate, cyber, and supply chain risks [03:40] Generalist or tactical: a false choice [04:09] Two categories of development, and the gap [05:11] Burnout, low pay, and lack of strategy [06:20] The silo trap of deep expertise [07:33] Routine vs adaptive expertise [09:42] Why leadership programs fall short [11:06] The convergence of complexity and missing support [12:02] What intellectual infrastructure should provide [14:23] The Forum as a new model [16:00] When were you last curious about your field? If that question made you pause, you are not alone. Many experienced professionals are facing complex challenges with training models that no longer fit the realities they work in. The Forum at Crisis Lab was created to give senior leaders a space to learn with peers, test new ideas, and stay sharp in a changing environment.

Reuniting after more than a decade since their days in This Week in Asia Podcast from 2009, Michael Smith Jr., co-host of The Generalist podcast, and Daniel Cerventus Lim, semi-retired entrepreneur and community builder in Malaysia, join us for a candid assessment of Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem evolution. In this raw conversation, Michael offers his unflinching perspective on what he calls the 'broken windows era' of Southeast Asian tech, arguing that recent alleged fraud cases like E-Fishery and Tanihub require serious consequences to restore investor confidence, while questioning whether the region was ever correctly modelled for Silicon Valley-style outcomes. Daniel shares his pivot from startup founder to search fund advocate, explaining his bullish view on acquiring profitable traditional businesses and reflects on whether the region's potential was genuinely unrealized or simply impossible to achieve. Together, they explore the shift from venture-backed unicorn dreams to bootstrap realities, debate work ethic of Southeast Asia founders in comparison with Chinese and Indian founders, and discuss why the future of Southeast Asian tech may lie in smaller, profitable exits rather than the massive IPOs once envisioned.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Andrew McVeigh, veteran technology leader and Chief Architect, whose career spans transformations at Hulu, Riot Games, and beyond. Andrew has navigated multi-billion-dollar shifts across industries from finance to gaming and healthcare, leaving behind architectures that still power companies today.The conversation dives deep into some of the most pressing questions in modern tech leadership: What matters most—EQ, IQ, or AI? Should organizations rebuild systems from scratch or evolve incrementally? Andrew shares candid stories, including lessons from Riot Games, the pitfalls of full rewrites, and the importance of balancing optimism with realism.Listeners will gain insight into how domain expertise and generalist skills complement one another, why EQ becomes more critical than IQ at senior levels, and how AI is reshaping engineering work without eliminating the need for human craft. Andrew also reflects on personal resilience, leadership missteps (like literally flipping a table), and the value of building systems and cultures that endure. This episode offers a rare inside look into decades of architectural wisdom and leadership lessons applicable to anyone guiding teams through complexity and changeTakeawaysEQ often outweighs IQ at senior leadership levels when managing large teams.Losing emotional control may feel satisfying in the moment but erodes long-term trust and outcomes.Generalists and specialists both play vital roles—large-scale architecture requires a mix of both.Domain expertise is valuable but shouldn't be an absolute barrier to hiring strong engineers.Successful engineers learn to work at the level of intention rather than just tasks.Psychological safety fuels better performance and innovation in teams.AI augments, not replaces—engineers must learn to collaborate with it effectively.Craft and fundamentals (e.g., programming) remain essential even as AI automates repetitive work.The Pareto principle (80/20) applies broadly—focus on high-leverage outcomes, not perfection.Full rewrites often fail; incremental evolution with a defined “North Star” strategy is safer.Optimism in leadership can shift cultures and reframe challenges as opportunities.Balancing results with humanity ensures people want to work with you again.Chapters00:00 Intro: EQ, IQ, or AI?01:15 Guest Introduction: Andrew McVeigh's career at Hulu, Riot Games, and more02:30 Industry Crossovers: From finance to gaming to healthcare04:10 Specialists vs. Generalists in large-scale systems05:20 The rising importance of EQ in leadership07:10 Riot Games culture and the “must be a gamer” debate11:20 What makes great engineers stand out13:40 Leadership, personal resilience, and the humanity factor17:50 How AI reshapes engineering work22:30 Applying the Pareto principle in tech leadership24:50 The rewrite dilemma: Start over or evolve?31:20 Preserving value while modernizing legacy systems36:10 Final thoughts: EQ, IQ, or AI?

a16z General Partners Erik Torenberg and Martin Casado sit down with technologist and investor Balaji Srinivasan to explore how the metaphors we use to describe AI—whether as god, swarm, tool, or oracle—reveal as much about us as they do about the technology itself.Balaji, best known for his work in crypto and network states, also brings a deep background in machine learning. Together, the trio unpacks the evolution of AI discourse, from monotheistic visions of a singular AGI to polytheistic interpretations shaped by culture and context. They debate the practical and philosophical: the current limits of AI, why prompts function like high-dimensional programs, and what it really takes to “close the loop” in AI reasoning.This is a systems-level conversation on belief, control, infrastructure, and the architectures that might govern future societies. Timecodes:0:00 Introduction: The Polytheistic AGI Framework1:46 Personal Journeys in AI and Crypto3:18 Monotheistic vs. Polytheistic AGI: Competing Paradigms8:20 The Limits of AI: Chaos, Turbulence, and Predictability9:29 Platonic Ideals and Real-World Systems14:10 Decentralized AI and the End of Fast Takeoff14:34 Surprises in AI Progress: Language, Locomotion, and Double Descent25:45 Prompting, Verification, and the Age of the Phrase29:44 AI, Crypto, and the Grounding Problem34:26 Visual vs. Verbal: Where AI Excels and Struggles37:19 The Challenge of Markets, Politics, and Adversarial Systems40:11 Amplified Intelligence: AI as a Force Multiplier43:37 The Polytheistic Counterargument: Convergence and Specialization48:17 AI's Impact on Jobs: Specialists, Generalists, and the Future of Work57:36 Security, Drones, and Digital Borders1:03:41 AI, Power, and the Balance of Control1:06:33 The Coming Anti-AI Backlash1:09:10 Global Implications: Labor, Politics, and the Future Resources:Find Balaji on X: https://x.com/balajisFind Martin on X: https://x.com/martin_casado Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow 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.
