In this episode the guys break down 5 health foods you should probably avoid — roasted nuts and why they're one of the only whole natural foods that's hyper palatable and calorie dense enough to blow your deficit without realizing it, smoothies and juices and how blending dramatically raises glycemic index and strips the fiber that makes whole fruit satisfying, granola and how it went from an endurance athlete energy food to a widely misunderstood sugar bomb, raw vegetables and why cooking actually makes nutrients more bioavailable not less, and raw fish and the parasite data that most frequent sushi eaters aren't aware of. They also get into how celebrity Ozempic face is becoming impossible to hide, the full story of Sal accidentally buying women's Michael Kors sneakers on Amazon and wearing them to church, Arlo the dog getting Justin back in the dark during an outdoor bathroom break, Troscriptions Tro Mune and the cordycepin research on viral replication and REM sleep, the coaches responding to backlash from last episode's fat and fit post, and Paul Chek peeing in his yard mid-sentence the first time they met him.

In this episode of Business Brain, we get practical about AI note-taking and why your meeting transcripts are pure gold. You’ll hear why local, on-device tools like Granola and WhisperFlow are winning us over, how speaker recognition and instant summaries save you real time, and why you don’t want to be the person stuck taking notes when you should be your best present self in the conversation. We walk through feeding a trimmed transcript into an LLM to spec out a feature, generate action items, and even kick off a build, turning a casual call into a documented plan. Then we hand you the tip most Zoom users are sitting on and don’t realize it: you can query your own meeting notes with a chat interface. Ask how many downloads that show mentioned, or whether demographics came up, and get an answer grounded in your actual conversation. That’s context-aware AI working for you, and it’s part of the charmed life. Turn transcription on by default, file those summaries away, and start treating your recordings as a searchable knowledge base. Create and analyze your transcripts, the data is yours. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #781 for Casual FridAI, August 21st, 2026 August 21st: Internet Self-Care Day 00:01:52 Always assume you're being recorded on calls 00:02:50 Local AI Notetaking Agents Granola WisprFlow Notetaker 00:08:50 SPONSOR: SomniPods 3 sleep earbuds from Fitnexa: Flat enough to sleep on, and the app is the real prize: https://go.fitnexa.com/brain automatically applies $10 off (or use code BRAIN). 00:10:44 SPONSOR: Keeper Security's Password Manager.

Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) is joined by Alex Elliott (@alexpotato), who has spent his career in SRE and operations roles at financial firms ranging from ten-person fintechs to global investment banks, to discuss what the back office actually does all day. They cover the life cycle of a trade: execution, clearing, settlement, and the constant reconciliation between counterparties who don't quite agree on what happened. Alex recounts the Friday afternoon when twenty million shares went out to the street instead of five, and Patrick explains what happens between 4:15 and 4:30 when one bank owes another $36 million and the person who owns that process is on vacation.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/two-banks-cant-agree-on-fourth-grade-math/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury, MongoDB & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

#392: Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily are the co-founders of The Granola Bar, longtime friends, mothers, and entrepreneurs who turned a desire for something more into a thriving brand.

Their story is one of friendship, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and giving yourself permission to change your mind about what a fulfilling life looks like.What you'll learn:How to balance decision making between instincts and logicThe difference between resume vs. eulogy virtues and which you should consider focusing onReality of starting and building a new business and what every aspiring business owner should knowRelevance of partner selection and how they play a role in the kind of life you are able to live, especially in their level of support in your own individual dreams and goalsWhy most women idealize being a "stay at home mom" and the reality of how it may not truly fulfill youBILT Credit Card Info (Pay Rent and Earn Points):https://bilt.page/r/HQ06-ZV7OReceive weekly personal insights from Emily's email newsletter and subscribe hereWatch Full Episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatfulfillsyou/videosENJOY 10% OFF THE WHAT FULFILLS YOU?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Manish Goregaokar, a senior software engineer and member of the Rust security response team, to discuss what LLMs do to the cost side of running a sophisticated con. They walk through a scam built for programmers: a plausible company, a few rounds of interviews, and an NDA signed via "sign in with email" that quietly hands an attacker the identity account everything else resets against. A version of it hit at least five people in the Rust community within days of Manish publishing on the subject, and Patrick describes being targeted himself by someone posing as a Bloomberg reporter who wanted him on a Zoom call with a codec problem. They also cover money mules and the three stages of laundering, the $25 million Hong Kong transfer authorized on a fully deepfaked video call, and why the only durable individual defense is refusing to trust any communication you did not initiate.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/what-llms-do-to-the-economics-of-scams-with-manish-goregaokar/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury, MongoDB & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Danny McMillan returns after his longest break in almost ten years, with Seller Sessions approaching its tenth anniversary and roughly 1,300 episodes. This is the pilot of a new monthly roundtable with Sim and Matt (Dorian returns next month), moving away from the conversion show format towards raw conversation. You'll hear how Sim's team runs product development end to end with AI: keyword-scored idea validation, brand director sign-off, Claude-generated product concepts rendered through Codex, and a launch pipeline already booked out to 2027. Matt shares how Productpinion prioritises features from customer feedback, and why prioritisation is the most undervalued skill in the AI era. The back half tackles the big theme: cognitive load. Danny breaks down verification fatigue, context switching and AI maxing, and why the scarce resource is no longer time but attention and decision quality. Key Topics AI-driven product development - from keyword scoring to Claude SVG concepts and Codex-generated product renders Team structure at scale - how ideas route through brand directors to sourcing across UK and Philippines teams Hiring in the AI era - why refusing to use AI is now a dealbreaker, and why gutting teams for AI is commercial suicide Free local AI tools - Fluid Voice (Whisper Flow alternative) and Meetily (Granola alternative) Cognitive load and verification fatigue - the hidden tax of moving from doer to overseer Timestamps 00:00 - Danny returns: ten years of Seller Sessions, new pilot format 01:50 - Sim's update: ditching ClickUp for a bespoke operating system 03:55 - Matt's update: closing the research loop in Productpinion, Florence CRO brain, MCP 05:39 - Sim's product pipeline: AI keyword scoring, brand director approval, deep research 07:07 - AI product development: Claude concepts, Codex renders, 3-in-1 product mashups 09:07 - Packaging designed for the main image, and how far you can push it 10:46 - Team workflow: brand directors owning P&L, sourcing handoffs 14:21 - Danny on gutting teams for AI: who maintains the machines? 15:56 - The hiring line: refuse to use AI, you haven't got a job 17:48 - Claude across every department: projects, Claude Code vs Cowork 20:10 - Free local tools: Fluid Voice for dictation, Meetily for meeting notes 21:57 - Marketplace arbitrage: moving proven products between Amazon marketplaces 23:21 - Matt on signal to noise: wasting tokens instead of wasting time 24:57 - Time blocking and prioritising features by customer impact 26:54 - Danny's segment: cognitive load, oversight duty and verification fatigue 31:46 - Asking the right question: the Claude Science deep-dive example 36:41 - AI maxing, context switching and high-stakes decision quality 42:07 - Claude telling you to go to sleep 45:16 - Danny's framework: reject the first plan, decision sprints, deliberate decompression 50:47 - Where to reach Sim and Matt Key Takeaways AI has made product development fun again - unique product concepts generated with Claude and Codex, feeding a pipeline mapped to 2027. Augment, don't replace - if someone was worth hiring, AI should multiply their output, not justify cutting them. Prioritisation is the undervalued AI skill - just because you can do everything doesn't mean you should. Verification fatigue is real - build in decision sprints and deliberate decompression, and reject Claude's first plan on sight. The scarce resource is attention, not time - your night schedule and recovery feed the next day's output. Notable Quotes "AI is enabling the boring to get released and the fun stuff to happen." - Sim "Instead of people wasting time, now they're just wasting tokens." - Matt "Prompts don't matter, but asking the right question unlocks everything." - Danny McMillan "AI doesn't just speed you up. It puts you on permanent oversight duty, and the cost of that duty is your attention and your judgment, not time." - Danny McMillan Resources Mentioned Fluid Voice - free, open source local dictation with on-device models; a Whisper Flow alternative Meetily - free, open source meeting summariser that runs privately on your machine; a Granola alternative Claude / Claude Code - the AI platform used across both Danny's and Sim's teams Codex - used alongside Claude to generate product concept images Productpinion - Matt's shopper testing platform, now with MCP support and draft polls Connect Sim - on LinkedIn (genuine reach-outs answered) Matt - on LinkedIn or via productpinion.com Seller Sessions is the leading podcast for advanced Amazon sellers, hosted by Danny McMillan.

Toast and tea may sound almost too simple to matter, until it becomes the doorway to a bigger truth about sustainable living and how we care for ourselves. I wanted to go live today making granola because it's a perfect Recipe 4 Survival,  basic staple, zero food packaging waste - a mindful meal and helping to live a sustainable lifestyle but the heat made the oven a no-go.So I pivoted to a mindful meal I love toast and tea, endlessly versatile, comforting with a few smart choices. Also in this episode I share a practical sustainability tip for anyone tired of staring at plastic food packaging and wondering what to do with it. I talk about Ridwell, a company that helps with recycling certain plastics that often don't belong in curbside bins. If you're trying to reduce waste without turning your life into a full-time research project, you'll appreciate having another option to explore. I have 3 links for friends to get a $10 discount on their first order. Then I read a bit from the preface to my memoir, “Toast and Tea Away from Home,” a travel snapshot that moves from the WOMAD Festival in Golden Gate Park to a quiet morning in the Oakland Hills. The story lands on an “Aha moment” that still guides me: when you prepare food for yourself, you transfer intention, energy, and care in a way that can restore direction and focus, which helps to cultivate one's independent spirit. Cooking is a small act with a surprisingly big impact on ones holistic wellbeing.   Please find the link to my Audible memoir, Recipes 4 Survival, Make It On Your Own. Please subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves simple food, and leave a review so more people can find the show.In advance, thank you so much,Me, D MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

In the tech world now, nothing is new – just new players joining markets Meta has launched their own AI coding agent called “Muse Code”, which they say is designed for large, sprawling code bases. It doesn't have a subscription offering though, so it's pay per use. It's also around the same price as the other frontier models, unless you decide to opt into let your code be used for training which will make it 1/10th of the price. It's arguably about as good as OpenAIs Codex, but lags behind Anthropic's Claude. A new addition to the note taking market too Wispr AI —one of the best dictation AI tools around— is about to get into the meeting notetaker market. It hadn't been announced yet, but changes to its legal docs suggest the move. The tool will apparently use your system audio to listen into the meeting, similar to Granola, then create the notes for you. They'll be searchable via AI too of course. Other note taking services join as a pseudo person, which makes it more obvious you're being recorded. Basically, these days, if you're using an online conference tool, you need to assume you're being recorded. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Ocala, Florida, Lisa Jeffrey vanished after celebrating her 48th birthday. Her ex-husband insisted she had simply walked away, but a search of his immaculate trailer uncovered a secret no one expected. What followed was a disturbing investigation into violence, deception, and the dark truth hidden inside one Florida trailer park.How to support:For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterTheme and Closing Track:Original compositions created for The Minds of MadnessPlease check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:Shopify - Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/madnessQuince - Upgrade your wardrobe with pieces made to last with Quince.

We live in a world that worships talent, a world that cheers natural athletes, exalts child prodigies, and venerates virtuosos. But admiring people who are blessed with innate abilities can lead us to underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. As Adam Grant explains in his new book, “Hidden Potential,” growth is not about the genius you possess — it's about the character you develop. Adam joins us today to talk about developing the character skills, motivational tools, and learning systems that can help ordinary people achieve extraordinary things. This episode first aired in October 2023.

This Week In Startups is made possible by: Vanta https://www.vanta.com/twist Agree https://agree.com Odoo https://Odoo.com/twist Today's show: *Airtable just sold for $2.25 billion, an 81% drop from its peak of $11.7 billion. On this week's TWiST VC Roundtable, Aditya Agarwal (South Park Commons), Niko Bonatsos (Verdict Capital), and Rick Heitzmann (FirstMark Capital) break down why the venture world sees this as a good outcome, not a financial disaster. By declining the deal, would Airtable's team have just been delaying the inevitable? Is the fact that they reached $400M+ ARR on its own a reason to celebrate? Find out why our investor panel prefers unwinding a stuck situation rather than chasing a growth rate that's no longer sustainable. PLUS Robinhood's booming prediction market business, the secondary market flap over Anduril shares, why so many VCs shy away from "vice" categories, and a glimpse at how insiders are talking about the Apple-OpenAI lawsuit.

Journalist Stephen Witt has spent months inside the world's leading robotics companies to find out, and what he discovered surprised him. Check out Stephen's article "Are Humanoid Robots Ready to Be Deployed?" and his previous appearance on this show. ***

Dave Ginsburg is joined by Jeff Gamet, Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jill McKinley, Eric Bolden, and Guy Serle to discuss Apple's impressive Q3 earnings, including strong growth in iPhone, Mac, Services, and Wearables, along with Tim Cook's final earnings call before leadership transitions. The group examines what drove Apple's success, why Services continues to be such a major business, and how Apple's future product strategy could evolve. The discussion then shifts to Apple's latest software releases, including visionOS 26.6, iOS 26.6, macOS 26.6, and the continuing iOS 27 developer beta cycle. The panel highlights important security updates, new Spotlight improvements, and several welcome quality-of-life features coming in iOS 27, including separate alarm and ringtone controls, smarter dictation behavior in Messages, enhanced FaceTime capabilities, improved Wi-Fi and cellular handoffs, and Apple Intelligence-powered call context. One of the biggest conversations centers around Apple's brand-new U.S. leasing program with Klarna, replacing the longtime iPhone Upgrade Program.

Signal vs Noise: Jackson Mikalic, Michael Tanguma, Brian Cubellis, and Liam Nelson put four stories on the shot clock. They break down Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund blowing up and getting scooped by Citadel as South Korea's market sheds roughly $2 trillion in 40 days, Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump agreeing to scrap the debt ceiling, Fauci pleading the fifth before Rand Paul, and open source tools like Granola and Whoop getting reverse engineered overnight. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?---

Why do some people seem to create opportunities wherever they go while others spend years waiting for the right break? According to Cate Hall — lawyer turned poker player turned drug addict turned CEO of a $3B foundation — the difference isn't luck. It's the ability to question assumptions, reject the default path, and realize the world is far more malleable than it seems. In this episode, Rufus and Cate explore what it really means to become a high-agency person — a.k.a. someone who just does things. Together, they unpack why ambition isn't the same as agency, how fear of embarrassment and an obsession with hard work hold us back, and why curiosity, unconventional thinking, and expanding your "surface area for luck" are the keys to creating extraordinary opportunities. Cate's new book, You Can Just Do Things, is out now.

In the age of AI, endless information, and instant certainty, philosopher Lani Watson argues that questions — not answers — are humanity's greatest intellectual advantage.  Today, she explains why curiosity is a biological superpower, why schools unintentionally teach us to stop questioning, and how learning to embrace a question-oriented mindset can make us better thinkers, leaders, and humans. Lani's new book is Q: The Hidden Power of Questions in a World That Wants Answers. You can take her Questioning Strengths Assessment here. ***

First, a few numbers. This year Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta will spend more than $700 billion building AI infrastructure. There are 1,500 data centers in development across the country. AI-linked stocks make up at least 40% of the S&P 500. These are the kinds of numbers that make some economists jumpy. If this whole AI thing doesn't pan out, they warn, we're headed for the mother of all crashes. But Azeem Azhar is not one of those economists. He and his team recently spent months turning the AI economy inside out, and they just released a report called The State of the AI Economy. It contains surprising answers to what has become an increasingly pressing question: is this the biggest bubble ever blown, or are we building the durable machinery of a radically more abundant world? In this conversation, Azeem joins Rufus to unpack why AI adoption is growing faster than the internet or mobile, what Wall Street and Silicon Valley may still be getting wrong, and why the most important skill in an AI-powered future may have nothing to do with AI. Along the way, they explore energy, jobs, investing, AI safety, and what exponential change means for the next generation.

In this episode, we sit down with Geoff Woo, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Antifund, an unconventional venture capital firm investing in the next generation of companies across technology, consumer, defense, and culture. Geoff is also the Founder and Executive Chairman of Ketone-IQ and has built businesses alongside creators like Jake and Logan Paul, giving him a unique perspective at the intersection of venture capital, entrepreneurship, and internet culture.We discuss why venture capital is "high-class begging," how Antifund uses celebrity partnerships to win the most competitive startup deals, why attention is becoming more valuable than capital, how AI is changing the future of startups and human expertise, the philosophy behind Ketone-IQ, and the mindset founders need to build category-defining companies.If you're interested in startups, venture capital, AI, entrepreneurship, creator businesses, or learning how top investors think, this episode is for you.This episode is supported by Sydecar, HEX, Wispr Flow, Granola, Beehiiv, KalshiSydecar: https://sydecar.io/partners/trailblazersbeehiiv: https://www.beehiiv.com/splash?utm_campaign=trailblazers-2026-Partnership&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=trailblazers&utm_term=podcast-6&stripe_campaign_code=TRAILBLAZERS30 (or use code “trailblazers30” for 30% OFF)*Granola is the official notetaker of Trailblazers! Check out the episode show notes here: https://notes.granola.ai/t/7b44b7f3-ac56-487b-befa-81d024355e49-00b881l8Kalshi: http://Kalshi.com/r/trailblazersWispr Flow: https://ref.wisprflow.ai/trailblazersHEX: http://hex.ai/trailblazers

Most people think success comes from having an original idea. Mark Pincus thinks that's one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. After building one of the most successful gaming companies in history, he believes the best products rarely begin as completely new ideas. Instead, they start with a deep understanding of what already works, a relentless focus on making it better, and just enough novelty to make people care. In part two of our conversation, Mark shares his "Proven, Better, New" framework for building products, explains why AI is creating the greatest opportunity for builders since the birth of the internet, and reveals the surprisingly simple habits that have shaped his career, leadership philosophy, and life. Along the way, he discusses ambition, parenting, creativity, and why a more playful approach to your career may be the key to doing your best work.

On the eve of a multimillion-dollar real estate deal in Midway, Utah, Eric Richins died after sharing a quiet celebration with his wife.

Podcasting is lousy with guests who peddle advice about starting businesses, building careers, and living full lives. Few of these gurus have actually accomplished anything. Fewer still have advice that comes anywhere close to revelatory. Mark Pincus is the rare exception. The founder of 10 companies, Mark is best known for Zynga, the gaming juggernaut behind FarmVille and Words With Friends. At its peak, Zynga was valued at more than $12 billion and accounted for 20% of Facebook's page views. It was so big, in fact, that Mark Zuckerberg once admitted to Mark Pincus, “Zynga is the only company that is capable of being an actual Facebook competitor.” Across his 30-year career, Mark — Pincus, not Zuck — developed a cheat code for building products people love and living a life anyone would admire, and that cheat code winds its way through his new book, Life at the Speed of Play. Today, he shares how he learned to trust his gut, why most founders build too much and test too little, and how failure taught him to move faster, pivot sooner, and search for real signals instead of hope.
