TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8383OMELIA DELLA NOTTE E DEL GIORNO DI NATALE - ANNO A di Giacomo Biffi 1) MESSA DELLA NOTTE"In questa santissima notte" la nostra oscurità è stata illuminata "con lo splendore di Cristo, vera luce del mondo". Il silenzio della campagna di Betlem si è animato di voci di angeli e di grida festose di uomini.DAL NATALE TUTTA LA NOSTRA ESISTENZA È DIVINIZZATADio non ama le luci false e il chiasso frenetico. Quando le luci false e artificiali delle nostre presunzioni, delle ideologie che cercano di far violenza all'autenticità delle cose, delle nostre pretese di imporre noi, dal di fuori, le norme e il senso del vivere; quando le luci false e artificiali si spengono, allora e solo allora Dio si rivela. Quando il chiasso del nostro compiacimento, del nostro orgoglio, del nostro disperato agitarci si acquieta, allora e solo allora si fa sentire la voce del cielo e ci giunge notizia del mondo invisibile e vero.Così è avvenuto in quella notte unica e decisiva, che noi siamo ancora qui a ricordare e a rivivere dopo duemila anni. Così è difficile che avvenga nella notte dell'uomo di oggi, pasciuto eppur spiritualmente denutrito, assetata di verità e abbeverato quotidianamente di vuote parole, avido di luce vera e accecato dai bagliori fatui del suo sconsolato sapere.È difficile, ma non impossibile. Dio tenta e ritenta sempre di farsi capire da noi. Dio tenta e ritenta sempre di trovare la strada del nostro cuore. Questo Natale 1986 è un altro tentativo dell'amore di Dio, che ancora una volta si vuol rivelare perché gli uomini ritrovino se stessi e il loro destino.IL NATALE CI RIVELA CHE DIO È PADRE"In questa santissima notte" Dio si è rivelato come Padre. Quando venne la pienezza del tempo, Dio mandò il suo Figlio (Gal 4, 4), ha scritto San Paolo. Dunque Dio ha un Figlio: non è l'infinità gelida e inerte dell'essere senza confini, che avevano intravisto i filosofi, ma è paternità sostanziale, è fecondità, è donazione, è amore. Dio è Padre: non è solo l'artefice ingegnoso che ha costruito l'universo e poi se ne è andato per i fatti suoi, ma è un padre affettuoso che non può non pensare a noi, che ci insegue col suo desiderio di farci felici, che non si dà pace finché non ci vede ricondotti nel calore della sua casa.Il Natale è la smentita più recisa e più alta dell'idea – che qualche volta gli uomini insipientemente si fanno - di un Dio lontano e distratto, chiuso nel suo cielo e indifferente a ciò che avviene sulla terra.Dio - continua San Paolo - mandò suo Figlio, nato da donna (Gal 4,4). Il Figlio di Dio è nato da una donna: questo è il grande evento del Natale, che ha stupito e commosso così tanto gli uomini che essi in tutta la terra continuano a ritenere il giorno che lo commemora come il giorno più nobile e santo, anche se la maggior parte di loro non si ricorda più la ragione dello stupore e il motivo della commozione.Il Figlio di Dio è nato da donna come noi. Ha assunto tutta l'esistenza umana, con l'umiltà e la fragilità della nostra nascita, con la sofferenza che immancabilmente l'accompagna, con la morte che fatalmente la conclude. È diventato dei nostri. Si è fatto partecipe di tutta la nostra sorte, e così l'ha consacrata e divinizzata.IL VERBO DI DIO È DIVENUTO UNO DI NOI PERCHÉ NOI DIVENTASSIMO COME LUIIl Figlio di Dio è venuto alla luce nello squallore di una mangiatoia, dopo aver ricevuto l'avvilimento di un rifiuto: non c'era posto per loro nell'albergo (Lc 2, 7). Ma la sua venuta non è un puro abbassarsi; il Natale non è l'esaltazione della povertà e dell'umiliazione per la povertà e per l'umiliazione. L'Unigenito del Padre è diventato uno di noi perché noi diventassimo come lui, insigniti della stessa dignità di figli di Dio. Si è imprigionato nella nostra miseria perché noi ne uscissimo, e il peso insopportabile della nostra meschinità e del dolore umano si trasformasse nella ricchezza della vita divina.Perciò questa notte ci appare tutta pervasa di gioia. Hai moltiplicato la gioia. Hai moltiplicato la gioia, hai aumentato la letizia (Is 9,2), abbiamo ascoltato dal profeta. Vi annunzio una grande gioia (Lc 2, 10), ha detto l'angelo ai pastori e a noi.È importante non lasciarsi prendere soltanto da un sentimento generico di tenerezza umana o di poesia. La nostra gioia non si fonda sul fatto, preso per se stesso, che un bambino è nato per noi (Is 9, 5); ma sul fatto che il bambino, che è nato, è chiamato ed è Dio potente, Padre per sempre, Principe della pace (Is 9,5). La nostra gioia deriva dal fatto che ci è nato un salvatore, e quindi è apparsa la grazia di Dio, apportatrice di salvezza per tutti gli uomini (Tt 2, 11). Vale a dire: la gioia natalizia può scaturire solo dal pieno accoglimento della visione di fede.In una fede chiara, semplice, ferma - che conosce e riconosce il Figlio unigenito di Dio che "per noi uomini e per la nostra salvezza discese dal cielo... e si è fatto uomo" - consiste la vera accoglienza del Natale e del suo messaggio.Il Signore ci conceda di accoglierlo come i pastori, non di rifiutarlo come hanno fatto gli abitanti di Betlem. E questo sia il più sostanzioso augurio natalizio: saper accogliere il Signore Gesù, nella sua parola, nel sacramento della sua presenza che ogni domenica ci convoca attorno all'altare, nella fedeltà alla sua Chiesa, nei fratelli che si trovano nel bisogno e si appellano a noi; essere e restare consapevoli che Gesù è venuto "per riscattarci da ogni iniquità e formarsi un popolo puro che gli appartenga"; impegnarci a lavorare perché si conosca e si esalti la gloria di Dio e si affermi la pace in terra per gli uomini che Dio ama.2) MESSA DEL GIORNOIl Natale è indubbiamente un giorno unico nella serie dei nostri giorni. Oggi il mondo sembra diverso; perfino gli uomini - "durum genus", gente dura e spietata, come ha detto un grande e umanissimo poeta latino - oggi sembrano diversi e più buoni.Che cosa è avvenuto in questo giorno? Niente di straordinario, parrebbe: una donna ha dato alla luce un figlio, che è stato avvolto in fasce e deposto in una mangiatoia. Dove sta la novità, dove sta la grandezza? Chi è questo bambino che, dopo duemila anni, riesce ancora a incantare il mondo, a placare per un po' rancori, odi, accanimenti, ad ammansire per qualche momento gli uomini, cioè le creature più feroci che respirano sulla terra?Di chi è questa nascita, così miserabile da sembrare quella di un figlio di vagabondi, e così decisiva che da essa si contano gli anni della storia? Quali sono le vere ragioni della nostra festa?Non cerchiamo la risposta nel sentimentalismo senza contenuti di verità, nel quale troppe volte va a stemperarsi e a estenuarsi la vigorosa autenticità del Natale. Non cerchiamo la risposta nella superficialità e nella leggerezza con la quale la più rivoluzionaria esaltazione della povertà e del silenzio è stata trasformata in occasione per ostentare la nostra abbondanza e per accrescere la nostra agitazione e il nostro chiasso.Cerchiamo piuttosto la risposta nella parola di Dio.IL NATALE È AFFERMAZIONE DELLA VITAOgni nascita è un trionfo della vita; ma questa lo è in modo unico e trascendente, perché il piccolo nato in una stalla, che noi adoriamo, è colui che possiede la pienezza della vita ed è il principio di ciò che esiste: Tutto è stato fatto per mezzo di lui... In lui era la vita (Gv 1, 3-4), abbiamo ascoltato.Se è affermazione della vita, il Natale è, nella sua sostanza, condanna di ogni pensiero, di ogni atto, di ogni pratica, di ogni legislazione, di ogni comportamento privato e pubblico che sia apportatore di morte.L'egoismo umano - spesso ammantandosi ipocritamente dei nomi più suggestivi - ha esteso sempre più ampiamente tra noi una cultura di morte: per questa cultura si arriva a soffocare la vita nascente e addirittura a ritenere una conquista sociale il diritto di uccidere gli esseri più innocenti, più indifesi quindi più sacri; per questa cultura di morte c'è gente che, mossa dall'avidità del guadagno, non esita a diffondere tra i giovani e perfino tra i ragazzi la disperazione della droga; per questa cultura di morte, si continua a potenziare il mercato dei mezzi di distruzione, spingendo così anche i popoli più sfortunati e poveri a dilaniarsi in lotte fratricide.Forse proprio perché intuiamo di essere immersi, oggi più che in altre epoche, in questa cultura di morte, tutti, credenti e non credenti, sentiamo il fascino della celebrazione natalizia e siamo portati a solennizzarla anche nelle maniere più incongrue, percependo in essa l'ultimo spazio concesso alla cultura di vita e alla speranza per la sopravvivenza dell'uomo.IL NATALE È AFFERMAZIONE DELLA LUCE, CIOÈ DELLA VERITÀLa luce splende nelle tenebre... Veniva al mondo la luce vera, quella che illumina ogni uomo (Gv 1, 5.9). Ma che cos'è la verità?Verità è conoscere le cose come stanno in faccia a Dio, non come si vorrebbe che fossero in ossequio ai nostri interessi e alle nostre prevaricazioni. Verità è dare le risposte giuste ai "perché" fondamentali dell'esistenza. Verità è cogliere l'intimo significato di ciò che è veramente importante: il significato del nostro venire al mondo e del nostro morire, il significato del lavoro, della fatica e della sofferenza, il significato di questa esistenza terrena, cui siamo così tenacemente attaccati e che è così rapida nello scorrere e nel dileguarsi. Verità è insomma sapere e capire ciò che né la mirabile e complicata scienza mondana né le molte parole riversate quotidianamente su di noi dai "signori" della comunicazione sociale ci aiutano affatto a comprendere.Siamo fatti per la luce, e tuttavia siamo tutti immersi nell'oscurità. E la notte dell'errore, del d

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, your trusted inside track on the people, deals, and dynamics shaping European venture.This week, Andreas Munk Holm is joined by Max Kufner, Co-Founder and CEO of again, and Jan Miczaika, Partner at HV Capital.again is one of those rare European deep-tech stories that blends academic brilliance, industrial execution, and venture pace. Born out of DTU, with roots at Stanford and MIT, again uses gas-eating microbes to turn CO₂ emissions into valuable chemicals and materials. In plain English: they take carbon that's already in the air (not the ground) and repurpose it into things we use every day, from plastics to fertilizers.Backed by HV Capital, GV, and a handful of top European and US investors, again is on a mission to decouple industrial growth from fossil carbon. But the conversation goes far beyond climate tech.Max and Jan unpack what it takes to build deep tech at venture speed, the reality of talent scarcity in Europe, the cultural differences between US and EU deep-tech ecosystems, and how to navigate board dynamics, milestone-based investing, and the journey to a Series B in a capital-intensive world.Whether you're a founder, investor, or LP curious about deep tech's reindustrialisation wave — this one's for you.Here what's covered:01:24 | again in one line — gas-eating microbes → chemicals (no oil out of the ground)02:53 | Why HV Capital backed again — climate upside and a chance to redefine European chemicals04:31 | Investor → founder pendulum — why Max went from Atlantic Labs partner back to operator06:20 | The serial founder advantage (and its hidden trap)10:17 | Building deep tech in Europe — talent constraints, optimism gaps, and moving early to the US15:30 | Multipolarity — global operations, risk appetite, and where to spend your time23:38 | Boardcraft — how to use your board (and avoid being over-managed)28:39 | On-air sparring — asset-heavy vs. platform-heavy business models33:17 | Prepping for Series B — risk, IRR, and the difference between validation and scale36:59 | Milestone-based investing in deep tech — bridges, binaries, and how to keep momentum43:12 | LPs and VCs — why deep tech is high-risk and high-alpha46:08 | Founder lessons — customer co-creation, speed, and building fast with scientists48:06 | Final reflections — Europe's industrial renewal through deep tech

In deze aflevering praten we met GV-coach Axel De Smet over jeugd, groei en golfplezier. Royal Keerbergen Golf Club kreeg onlangs het Eagle Label van het Jeugdsportfonds, en wij willen weten: wat maakt hun jeugdwerking zo sterk? Axel vertelt over zijn eigen beginjaren als jonge golfer, de grappige en inspirerende momenten die hem richting coaching brachten, en wat er vandaag allemaal leeft binnen de Vlaamse jeugdgolf. We duiken in het regionale aanbod voor jonge spelers: wat is de GV Kids Tour, hoe werken de GV Kids trainingen, en wat kan een kind doen dat nét iets meer wil dan enkel golfen op clubniveau? Tot slot deelt Axel zijn beste tips voor het winterseizoen— of zoals hij het noemt, het upgrade-seizoen. Want zelfs in de koude maanden kun je beter worden. En ja, ook deze aflevering eindigt met een Tee Time Win.

Es war wirklich ihre Woche! Während Bill beim ARD Krimidinner dank jahrelangem Method Acting die Grenzen zwischen Live-Auftritt und anschließender Kneipentour durch Köln verschwimmen ließ, erfuhr der sonst so vorsichtige Sir Tom unvorhergesehene Glücksgefühle als Hobby-Rennfahrer auf dem Nürburgring. Doch egal ob Kojote oder Kritiker, einer kackt dir immer von den Karren! Gegen die innere Unzufriedenheit empfehlen die Twins daher gelegentlichen GV im privaten KFZ und eine ordentliche Portion Selbstironie. Und ja … Cheers, Ihr Mäuse!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8312OMELIA XXXIII DOMENICA T.O. - ANNO C (Lc 21, 5-19) di Giacomo Biffi Parole oscure e forti - che sono al tempo stesso profezie di sventure e inviti alla speranza - abbiamo ascoltato nell'odierna pagina di vangelo. Gesù le ha pronunciate poco tempo prima del suo arresto e della sua condanna a morte, quando già percepiva imminente la fine, e si faceva più urgente per lui il compito di preparare il suo "piccolo gregge" alle prove e alle sofferenze che avrebbe incontrato. I suoi ascoltatori sembrano ancora spensierati e sereni, tanto che indugiano ad ammirare la bellezza dell'architettura del tempio e la ricchezza dei suoi ornamenti. E proprio prendendo lo spunto da questo ingenuo compiacimento il Signore avvia le sue severe riflessioni. Gli argomenti del discorso di Cristo sono tre: il preannuncio della distruzione di Gerusalemme, preceduta da grandi dolori; la persecuzione cui saranno sottoposti i suoi discepoli; la garanzia della sua presenza di salvatore anche in mezzo alle più tragiche difficoltà. Sono tre temi che tra loro si intrecciano e si rifiniscono. L'INEVITABILE DESTINO DI SOFFERENZA PER IL MONDO E PER LA CHIESA COME CONDIZIONE PER GIUNGERE ALLA GLORIA Non resterà pietra su pietra (Lc 21,6): così sarà castigata la Città santa; così perirà l'edificio più sacro della gente ebraica. Come tutti sappiamo, la profezia di Gesù si è avverata circa quarant'anni dopo ad opera dell'esercito romano guidato da Tito, il figlio dell'imperatore Vespasiano. Sotto un certo profilo, perciò, potremmo dire che non ci riguarda più. Ma nel libro di Dio Gerusalemme, oltre che una città precisa che ha avuto una grande importanza nella storia, è anche il simbolo e la raffigurazione di tutta la terra abitata. Ciò che qui è detto di Gerusalemme, vale per il mondo: anche il mondo troverà una fine violenta, quando la vicenda umana si sarà conclusa e il Signore "di nuovo verrà nella gloria". Ciò che qui è detto delle sofferenze del popolo ebraico, vale anche per la Chiesa, alla quale è dunque riservata una storia di pena. Le parole del nostro Salvatore ci rivelano ciò che noi - noi uomini, ma anche e soprattutto noi cristiani - dobbiamo aspettarci: ci rivelano non ciò che sarebbe conforme ai desideri naturali del nostro cuore, ma ciò che corrisponde al disegno di Dio, il quale vuole che la sua Chiesa arrivi sì alla vittoria, alla gioia, alla gloria, ma passando per la strada della sconfitta e della croce. LA NOSTRA SICUREZZA NON SI FONDA SULLA POTENZA UMANA, MA SU QUELLA DI DIO In concreto, con questo brano evangelico che cosa ci dice Gesù, che possa servire anche alla vita ecclesiale dei nostri giorni? 1. Ci dice prima di tutto che non dobbiamo mai fondare la nostra sicurezza e la nostra fiducia su quanto di esteriore e di strutturale c'è nella Chiesa: non sul numero e sullo splendore degli edifici di culto, non sulla potenza delle opere cattoliche, non sull'efficienza della nostra organizzazione. Certo, tutto deve essere valorizzato al servizio del Regno di Dio. Le cose esteriori non vanno disprezzate o condannate come antievangeliche o ritenute inutili e senza pregio. In particolare, dobbiamo amare le nostre chiese, così come Gesù ha avuto caro il tempio e la Città Santa, al punto di piangere sulla prevista rovina. Però, in niente di tutto questo sta la nostra speranza, che è sorretta soltanto dall'energia dello Spirito Santo, mandato a noi dal Risorto a suscitare negli uomini la fede e a tener viva la carità. A chi gli additava la maestà dell'edificio sacro, caro a ogni ebreo, Gesù ruvidamente risponde: Non resterà pietra su pietra che non venga distrutta (Lc 21,6). LA STAGIONE DEI MARTIRI NON È FINITA 2. Il secondo ammonimento del Signore è ancora più duro e più difficile da accettare: non dobbiamo mai aspettarci un avvenire tutto di pace e un'esistenza garantita contro tutti i guai. Specialmente la Chiesa - e in essa tutti coloro che vogliono veramente e pienamente essere cristiani, cioè appartenenti a Cristo e obbedienti al suo Vangelo - non deve contare su un destino di tranquillità e di trionfi. La promessa che abbiamo ricevuto è molto diversa: Metteranno le mani su di voi e vi perseguiteranno (Lc 21,12). In realtà, il gregge di Cristo in ogni secolo è stato fatto oggetto di soprusi, di intimidazioni, di violenze: la stagione dei martiri non è mai finita del tutto. Va precisato anzi che il nostro secolo ha conosciuto forse le oppressioni più grandi e più sanguinose, perpetrate di solito da gente che diceva di portare la libertà, la giustizia e perfino la fraternità. QUANTO PIÙ SIAMO FEDELI, TANTO PIÙ SIAMO ODIATI 3. Il terzo ammonimento è ancora più spiacevole, e non ci meraviglia che in questi ultimi tempi la cristianità si sforzi di dimenticarlo. Non illudetevi - dice il Signore - che gli altri vi abbiano in simpatia e capiscano le vostre buone intenzioni. All'opposto, sarete traditi... sarete odiati da tutti a causa del mio nome (Lc 21,16.17). E non è detto che l'ostilità nei nostri confronti derivi sempre dal fatto che noi cristiani e noi uomini di Chiesa non siamo purtroppo senza difetti e senza torti. Sarebbe troppo bello se ci odiassero solo per quello che ci meritiamo. La Chiesa invece è tanto più malvista, malgiudicata, colpita da accuse bugiarde, quanto più è fedele al suo Maestro e annuncia senza paure la verità. Anche nell'ultima cena Gesù è ritornato su questa idea quando ha detto: Un servo non è più grande del suo padrone: se hanno perseguitato me, perseguiteranno anche voi (Gv 15,20). Quasi a dire: se io ho raccolto odio pur non avendo mai fatto niente di male e avendo sempre amato e predicato l'amore, anche voi, quanto più mi sarete fedeli e mi assomiglierete, tanto più vi odieranno.CRISTO È LA RAGIONE DELLA NOSTRA PERSEVERANZA Per fortuna nell'odierna pagina di Vangelo questi ammonimenti così ardui e incresciosi sono compensati dalla promessa più bella: Io vi darò lingua e sapienza (Lc 21,15); cioè, sarò sempre con voi e ispirerò le vostre parole. Io sarò la vostra forza, il vostro coraggio, la vostra pace. Io vi sarò vicino in tutte le lotte che dovrete affrontare. Io sarò la ragione della vostra perseveranza. E voi, se sarete sempre con me, con la vostra perseveranza salverete le vostre anime (Lc 21,19).

This week my friend Kevin Gannon drops in to talk about his career in history education, how education has changed, what to do about A.I., and the role of social media as a scholar. This is a cool conversation with one of the coolest dudes I know.About our guest: Dr. Kevin Gannon is the Director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFE) and Professor of History at Queens University of Charlotte.From 2014-22, he served as Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) and Professor of History at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, where he also taught from 2004-2022. In addition to directing GV's faculty development operations, he was also a department chair (2011-2014) and co-directed the New Student Seminar program (2005-2011).His teaching, research, and public work (including writing) centers on critical and inclusive pedagogy; race, history, and justice; and technology and teaching. He writes at least semi-regularly for The Chronicle of Higher Education), and his essays on higher education have also been published in Vox and other media outlets. His book Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto, was published by West Virginia University press in Spring, 2020, as part of their Teaching and Learning in Higher Education series, edited by James M. Lang. He is currently writing a textbook for the US Civil War and Reconstruction eras that's grounded in settler-colonial theory for Routledge. In 2016, he appeared in the Oscar-nominated documentary 13th, which was directed by Ava DuVernay. He is a speaker and consultant about a range of topics on campuses across North America; in this work, he endeavors to bring passion, humor, and interactivity to my audiences. He is also delighted to work with smaller groups of students, individual classes, or selected groups of faculty and staff on these campus visits. You can find him on Twitter: @TheTattooedProf.Kevin's scholarly work centers on Race and Racisms, Critical and Inclusive Pedagogy, nineteenth-century history (particularly the United States and the Americas), and historiography and theory. His teaching ranges widely: Civil War and Reconstruction; Colonial America and the Atlantic World; Latin American history; Research Methods and Historiography; and the History of Capitalism are in my regular rotation, along with survey-level offerings in Ancient and Medieval World History. He teaches regularly in both in-person and online learning spaces, and he also has extensive experience working with first-year and at-risk students.As an educational developer, Kevin works closely with his colleagues in the faculty, staff, and administration to promote excellence and innovation in teaching, and to support faculty work across the areas of teaching, scholarship, and university service. He is a fierce advocate for professional development in all its manifestations, active learning, scholarly teaching, good technology, social justice, movable furniture, and humor in any environment.

Episode 400 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Rylan Hamilton, CEO & Co-Founder of Blue Water Autonomy. Episode 400! It's another milestone episode. On November 2, 2017, I published the first episode of The VentureFizz Podcast. My first 11 episodes were an experiment where I interviewed talent acquisition leaders. Christina Luconi was my first guest. Thank you Christina! After seeing the potential, I pivoted to interviewing mainly founders & investors in Boston and NYC. I want to send out shout-out to all the people who have taken the time to share their stories with me and the VentureFizz audience. It has been a pleasure to interview all of you. For Episode 400, I wanted to interview someone who not only has had extraordinary background but someone who is also still building. Interviewing Rylan for this milestone episode was a no-brainer. Rylan's professional career has been one of exploration and not just one linear path. From graduating from Harvard to enlisting in the Navy as an Engineering Officer for surface warfair, to Harvard Business School, to being the first employee at RunMyErrand which later became TaskRabbit, to learning warehouse robotics at Kiva Systems which ended up being the 2nd largest acquisition by Amazon at the time, to starting his own warehouse robotics company called 6 River Systems which was acquired by Shopify for $450M… to now… working on his latest startup, which no doubt is his biggest swing which is Blue Water Automony… a startup building autonomous ships for the open ocean. The company recently announced a $50M Series A round of funding led GV. This is shortly after announcing a $14M seed round of funding earlier this year back in April. In this interview, we cover how Rylan's service in the armed forces helped shape his career, his full background story, plus all the chapters along the way, to all the details about Blue Water Authonomy and how this company is disrupting and re-energizing the ship industry in the United States, and so much more. Episode Sponsor: As a longtime champion of the local startup ecosystem, Silicon Valley Bank supports innovative companies with the solutions and financing they need through every stage of growth. With more than 1,500 bankers and relationship advisors, and $42B in loans as of Q2 2024 – SVB delivers the right people, service and resources to support your entire financial journey.

When I sit down with product leaders who've spent decades shaping how Silicon Valley builds products, I'm always struck by how their career arcs echo the very lessons they now teach. Michael Margolis is no exception.Michael started his career as an anthropologist, stumbled into educational software in the late 90s, helped scale Gmail during its formative years, and eventually became one of the first design researchers at Google Ventures (GV). For fifteen years, he sat at the intersection of startups and product discovery, helping founders learn faster, save years of wasted effort, and—sometimes—kill their darlings before they drained all the fuel.In our conversation, Michael didn't just share war stories. He laid out a concrete, repeatable framework for product teams—whether you're a PM at a FAANG company or a fresh hire at a Series A startup—on how to cut through noise, get to the truth, and accelerate learning cycles.This post is my attempt to capture those lessons. If you're an early to mid-career PM in Silicon Valley trying to sharpen your craft, this is for you.From Anthropology to Gmail: The Value of Unorthodox BeginningsMichael's path to Google wasn't a linear “go to Stanford CS, join a startup, IPO” narrative. Instead, he started in anthropology and educational software, producing floppy-disk learning titles at The Learning Company and Electronic Arts. That detour turned out to be foundational.“Studying anthropology was my introduction to usability and ethnography,” Michael told me. “It gave me a lens to look at people's behaviors not just as data points but as cultural patterns.”For PMs, the lesson is clear: don't discount the odd chapters of your own career. That sales job, that nonprofit internship, or that side hustle in teaching can become your secret weapon later. Michael carried those anthropology muscles into Gmail, where understanding human behavior at scale was just as critical as writing code.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Audit your own “non-linear” career experiences. What hidden skills—interviewing, pattern-recognition, narrative-building—could you bring into product work?* When hiring, don't filter only for straight-line resumes. The best PMs often bring unexpected perspectives.The Google Years: Scaling Research at Hyper-speedMichael joined Gmail in 2006, when it was still young but maturing fast. He quickly noticed how different the rhythm was compared to the slow, expensive ethnographic studies he had done for consulting clients like Walmart.com.“At Walmart,” he explained, “I had to compress these big, long expensive projects into something faster. Gmail demanded that same speed, but at enormous scale.”At Google, the prime “clients” for his research were often designers. The questions he answered were things like: How do we attract Outlook users? How do we make the interface intuitive enough for mass adoption?This difference matters for PMs: in big companies, research questions often start downstream—how to refine, polish, or optimize. In startups, questions live upstream: What should we build at all? Knowing where you sit in that spectrum changes the kind of research (and product bets) you should prioritize.Jumping to Google Ventures: Bringing UXR Into VCIn 2010, Michael made a bold move: leaving the mothership to become one of the very first design researchers embedded inside a venture capital firm. GV was trying to differentiate itself by not just writing checks but also offering operational help—design, hiring, PR.“I got lucky,” he recalled. “GV had already hired Braden Kowitz as their design partner, and Braden said, ‘I need a researcher.' That was my break.”Working with founders was a shock. They didn't act like Google PMs. “It was like they were playing by a different set of rules. They'd say, ‘Here's where we're going. You can help me, or get out of my way.'”That forced Michael to reinvent how he showed value. Instead of writing reports that might sit unread, he had to deliver insights in real-time, in ways founders couldn't ignore.The Watch Party Method: Stop Writing ReportsHere's where the gold nuggets come in. Michael realized traditional reports weren't cutting it. Instead, he invented what he calls “watch parties.”“I don't do the research study unless the whole team watches,” he said. “I compress it into a day—five interviews with bullseye customers, the whole team in a virtual backroom. By the end, they've seen it all, they're debriefing themselves, and alignment happens automatically. I haven't written a report in years.”Think about that. No 30-page decks. No long hand-offs. Just visceral, shared observation.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Next time you run a user test, insist that at least your core team attends live. Skip the sanitized recap slides.* At the end of a session, have the team summarize their top three takeaways. When they say it, it sticks.Bullseye Customers: Getting Uncomfortably SpecificOne of Michael's most powerful contributions is the bullseye customer exercise.“A bullseye customer,” he explained, “is the very specific subset of your target market who is most likely to adopt your product first. The key is to define not just inclusion criteria but also exclusion criteria.”Founders (and PMs) often resist narrowing. They want to believe their TAM is huge. But Michael's method forces rigor. He described grilling teams until they admit things like: Actually, if this person doesn't work from home, they probably won't care. Or if they've never paid for a premium tool, they won't convert.Example: Imagine you're building a new coffee subscription. Your bullseye might be: Remote tech workers in San Francisco, ages 25-35, who already spend $50+ per month on specialty coffee, and who like experimenting with new roasters. If your product doesn't delight them, it won't magically resonate with “all coffee drinkers.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* Write down both inclusion and exclusion criteria for your bullseye.* Add triggers: life events that make adoption more likely (e.g., new job, new diagnosis, move to a new city).* Recruit five people who fit it exactly. If they're lukewarm, rethink your product.Why Five Interviews Is EnoughMichael swears by the number five.“After three interviews, you're not sure if it's a pattern,” he said. “By five, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the signal. Any more and the team is begging you to stop so they can make changes.”For PMs under pressure, this is liberating. You don't need 100 customer calls. You need five of the right customers, observed by the right team members, in a compressed timeframe.Multiple Prototypes: Don't Ask Customers to ImagineAnother Margolis rule: never show just one prototype.“If you show one, the team gets too attached, and the customer can only react. With three, I can say: compare and contrast. What do you love? What do you hate? I collect the Lego pieces and assemble the next iteration.”Sometimes those prototypes aren't even original mockups—they're competitor landing pages. As Michael joked: “Have you tested your competitor's prototypes? No? Then you've left something out.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* When exploring value props, mock up three different landing pages. Don't ask “Which do you prefer?” Instead ask: “Which elements matter most, and why?”* Treat mild praise as a “no.” Only visceral excitement counts as signal.Founders, Stubbornness, and the Henry Ford TrapI pressed Michael on what happens when founders dismiss customer feedback by invoking Henry Ford's famous line about “faster horses.”He smiled. “The beauty of bullseye customers is it forces accountability. If you told me these people are your dream users, and they shrug, then you can't hand-wave it away. Either change your customer definition or your product.”This is a crucial lesson for PMs who work with visionary leaders. Conviction is necessary, but unchecked conviction can sink a product. Anchoring on bullseye customers creates a shared contract that keeps both egos and hypotheses grounded.Bright Spots > Exit InterviewsWhen teams ask him to interview churned customers, Michael often refuses.“There are a bazillion reasons people don't use something,” he said. “It's inefficient. Instead, I go find the bright spots—the power users who love it. I want to know why they're on fire, and then go find more people like them.”This “bright spot” focus helps PMs avoid premature pivots. Instead of chasing every no, double down on the yeses until you understand the common thread.Case Study: Refrigerated Medications and ZiplineTo illustrate, Michael shared a project with Zipline, the drone-delivery company. They wanted to deliver specialty medications. The core question: was speed or timing more important?Through interviews, the bright spot insight emerged: refrigeration was the killer constraint. Patients didn't care about “fastest possible” delivery in the abstract. They cared about not leaving refrigerated drugs on their porch.That nuance completely changed the product and infrastructure design.For PMs, the takeaway is that sometimes the decisive factor isn't the flashy benefit you advertise (“we're the fastest!”) but a practical detail you only uncover through careful listening.AI and the Future of ResearchWe couldn't avoid the AI question. Has it changed his process?“I worry about how AI is creating distance between teams and customers,” Michael admitted. “If my bot talks to your bot and spits out a report, you miss the nuance. The power of research is in the stories, the details, the visceral reactions.”That said, he does use AI for quick prototype copywriting and summaries. But he insists on live team observation for the real work.For PMs, the advice is to use AI as an accelerant, not a replacement. Let it write the rough draft of your landing page copy, but don't outsource customer empathy to a transcript.What PMs Should Do Differently TomorrowLet's distill Michael's 15 years of wisdom into actionable steps you can implement this week:* Define your bullseye. Write down exact inclusion, exclusion, and trigger criteria.* Recruit five. Stop at five, but make them exact matches.* Run a watch party. Get your designer, engineer, and PM peers in the virtual backroom. No observers, no insights.* Prototype in threes. Landing pages are cheap. Competitor screenshots are free.* Look for visceral reactions. Anything less than “Wait, can I get this now?” is a polite no.* Study the bright spots. Find your power users and figure out what makes them glow.* Compress cycles. The whole exercise—recruit, test, learn—should take days, not months.Quotes Worth RememberingTo make these lessons stick, here are five quotes from Michael that every PM should tape to their desk:* “I don't do the research unless the whole team watches.”* “A bullseye customer is the very specific subset of your target market most likely to adopt first.”* “After five interviews, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the pattern.”* “If you show one prototype, the team gets too attached. With three, you collect the Lego pieces.”* “Mild encouragement is a polite no. Only visceral excitement counts as yes.”My Takeaways as a Coach and PMTalking to Michael reinforced something I've seen in my own career: product failure often comes not from bad execution, but from weak learning cycles. Teams don't test the right people, don't synthesize together, and don't act quickly on what they learn.Michael's methods aren't magic—they're discipline. They compress time, sharpen focus, and force alignment. Whether you're building the next Gmail or the next startup idea in a Palo Alto garage, these principles apply.If you're an early to mid-career PM, start by practicing on a small scale. Don't wait for your manager to bless a massive UXR budget. Run a five-person watch party with your next prototype. You'll be surprised at how quickly the fog lifts.ClosingIf this resonated and you're looking for deeper guidance, I also work 1:1 with PMs and executives on career, product, and leadership challenges.

Imagine an accounts‑receivable clerk clicking through four different systems just to finish one routine task. Chad Gold sees that bottleneck instantly. Fullstory's newly launched Workforce product maps every mouse‑stroke of such employee journeys, then surfaces friction points so companies can “make them more productive, so they can do even more value‑added things,” Gold tells us.The scene encapsulates the finance leader's thesis: data depth wins. “The companies that have the capabilities to capture the most comprehensive sets of data in a meaningful way are going to win,” he says. That conviction drew Gold—now in his fourth CFO chapter—to the Atlanta‑based behavioral‑data platform. Fullstory records the complete digital experience of each customer, from e‑commerce clicks to SaaS workflows, and feeds the corpus into AI models that flag churn risk or recommend instant actions, such as sending a coupon to a wavering shopper. The result drives revenue and reduces churn, he tells us.For its part, Fullstory has raised capital rounds through Series D and counts Kleiner Perkins, Stripes, Premier, Salesforce Ventures, GV and Dell Technologies among its backers, he tells us. Independent directors Ryan Barreto of Sprout Social and former Atlassian CFO Alex Estevez deepen the bench. After 22 years in finance, Gold values “lines, not dots”—long‑term relationships that provide partnership, not just cash. By pairing that philosophy with a platform built to illuminate every click, he aims to turn invisible friction—whether customer or employee—into the next chapter of growth. Stakeholders across the business will feel the lift, Gold predicts.

Design sprints have become a staple of the creative process at companies around the world and an indispensable tool in the pursuit of innovation. We owe a debt of thanks to Jake Knapp and his former colleagues at Google Ventures (now known as GV) who pioneered the design sprint. Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jake-knapp-click There is one gap that design sprints have not entirely addressed, though. What do you do if you're starting a new product or company from scratch? That is the subject of Jake Knapp and co-author John Zeratsky's newest book, Click: How to make what people want. Jake lays out the elements of what he calls a “foundation sprint” in this book. We chat with Jake about what makes a foundation sprint different than a design sprint, and some examples from the book of companies that have used foundation sprints effectively. We also talk to Jake about his decision to start Character, a VC fund aimed at helping startups at seed stage with capital and sprints, and the qualities that they look for in their founders when deciding to invest. Pre-order "Click" Bio Jake Knapp is a New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of Character. Previously, Jake built products like Microsoft Encarta and Gmail, co-founded Google Meet, and invented the Design Sprint. He has coached hundreds of teams at places like Miro, Slack, LEGO, IDEO, and NASA on product strategy and time management, and is a guest instructor at Harvard Business School. This is Jake's third appearance on Design Better. In his first interview with us, he discusses Sprint, and in his second interview he talks about his (and John Zeratsky's) book Make Time.

More than 1,000,000 users and 55,000 businesses, including 60% of the Fortune 100, use it to communicate efficiently and share knowledge at scale using AI avatars.  In Today's Episode with Victor Riperbelli: 1. The Future of Models: Are we seeing the commoditisation of models?  Will scaling laws continue to prove out?  How far into the application layer will model providers go? Will we see a world of few large generalist models or many fragmented smaller models? X.ai, Anthropic, or OpenAI? Which would Victor most want to invest in and why? 2.

Why is TikTok the future for content distribution? How does Victor think about the future of identity verification? What is the right approach? What does everyone think will happen in the future with content that will never happen? 3.

Why does Victor believe that London and Europe is a great place to start a startup? Does Victor believe Americans work harder than Europeans? Why does Victor believe Europeans are more loyal to their companies?
