Dmitry Zlokazov is the head of product at Revolut, the $45 billion fintech giant operating in over 50 countries, serving more than 50 million customers, and producing some of the world's top product leaders. Dmitry shares his hard-won lessons, contrarian org design principles, and day-to-day practices that power Revolut's relentless shipping velocity, culture of ownership, and unparalleled “wow” product experience.What you'll learn:1. Revolut's unique organizational approach, where “product owners” manage cross-functional pods as “local CEOs,” with genuine end-to-end ownership and hiring/firing power2. How a radical, ultra-flat structure enables more than 150 product owners to maintain founder-level quality and velocity across dozens of parallel launches3. How Revolut maintains quality while shipping hundreds of features across over 50 countries4. Why Revolut favors “raw intellect and hunger” over experience, and how internal transfers (including ex-engineers and ops managers) become the company's most successful product leaders5. How Revolut's founders review every single UI shipped, and why this founder detail obsession scales rather than limits innovation6. Their framework for launching new products—from ideation, validation, and first user cohort to rapid “algorithmization” and scaling across countries7.

My guest today is Nigel Bloomhall, Co-founder and CEO of Invisible Urban Charging. Invisible Urban Charging provides electric vehicles as a service, which means they design, install, own, and maintain chargers for investors, fleet managers, and corporates eager to electrify transportation while avoiding the capital expense and uncertainty associated with being a novice in the sector. They've signed partnerships with giants like CBRE to install over 1 million chargers. Nigel brings three decades of experience in power utilities, energy, and banking across multiple continents. In this episode, you'll learn these four important takeaways and much more. Why he flew from New Zealand to the US for a 15-minute meeting and how it catapulted his company to faster growth Why he focuses on level 2 chargers, not fast chargers What he learned from pitching 283 investors How aiming for bigger goals is easier than more humble ambitions

This week, Nick talks to Magnus Houston. Magnus has diverse career background that spans professional motorcycle racing for Suzuki GB, where he competed in a support race to the World Superbikes, and self-taught creel fishing. He has founded and managed multiple seafood companies and has experience in the alternative investment sector. Additionally, Magnus is a graduate of MIT's Sloan School of Management.With Magnus' previous company, Fishbox, he digitized a traditional business model, creating a system with four times as many data collection points as Tesco Club Card Points. The real driver of subscription numbers was his comprehensive approach to marketing; handling every aspect of the process, from crafting the brand to creating aspirational videos, working with influencers, and managing social media posts.  Nick and Magnus talk about his extraordinary career to-date, including a serious accident in his motorcycle racing career that put him in a wheelchair, to then becoming a fisherman without any prior experience.Magnus' book choices where:The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers Hardcover by Ben Horowitz https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205The Pyramid of Lies: Lex Greensill and the Billion-Dollar Scandal Hardcover by Duncan Mavin https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pyramid-Lies-Greensill-Billion-Dollar-Scandal/dp/1529088887The World for Sale by Javier Blashttps://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/javier-blas/world-for-sale/9781847942678This content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

Hoy nos juntamos con Juanjo Sáez, CEO de Uncovercity, una startup que se dedica a acercar y eliminar fricción en experiencias gastronómicas memorables. Comparamos el rápel con tener un punto de anclaje para un inicio y cómo un chamán, en una clase de dirección comercial, cambió su vida con una carta. Todo esto y mucho más nos ha contado Juanjo en el podcast de hoy.  Nos quedamos con un montón de puntos a destacar sobre su emprendimiento y sus anécdotas, cuanto menos curiosas, y graciosas, todo hay que decirlo. ✅ No hay que pararse a planificar ✅ Disfrutar el camino es parte de comerse el mundo ✅ Emprender no solo comprende el ámbito profesional ✅ La confianza de lo invisible. Juanjo y su experiencia en Uncovercity nos deja cosas en las que pensar. Como el hecho de que si todo está bien, no se nota, pero si algo falla es cuando alguien levanta la mano y lo puntualiza.  Muchas reflexiones en las que pararnos, como plantearnos qué hacemos y cómo va a seguir nuestro camino. Este podcast viene a filosofarnos la mente. Os animamos a escucharlo, coged papel y lápiz que viene cargadito. Y a ti Juanjo, mil gracias por pasar este ratito con nosotros, enseñarnos y hacernos reír a partes iguales. Te deseamos todo lo mejor y agradecemos tener a gente tan maja como tú.

En este episodio, hablamos con Victoria Seoane, VP de Engineering de MontevideoLabs y con Maximo Gurmendez, Founder y Chief Engineer de Montevideo Labs sobre la gestion de projectos de startups a enterprise. Hablamos de las diferencias y como encararlos desde la planificación a la implementación.Este es el episodio 11 de la cuarta temporada del podcast de Charlas Técnicas de AWS.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Belle Walker discuss:What process mapping is and how it varies from standard operating procedures. Including client touch points in your process map (not just in the standard operating procedure). The value process mapping has for a law firm. Getting started on process mapping for your legal business.  Key Takeaways:When starting a process map, have a start point, an end point, and a name for the process map. If a process has concrete steps, that is just a list. If there are decisions that need to be made, a process map could be engaged to serve your goals. Become familiar with visual language - shapes that have meaning. There are many software products that can assist you with process mapping for your firm for little to no additional cost to your firm.  "Process maps have value when you have decision points, options, and loops - conditions that need to be met." —  Belle Walker Thank you to our Sponsors!LegalEase Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Episode References: Book: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205 About Belle Walker: Belle Walker takes organizations from Friction to Function, recapturing lost efficiency and engagement by aligning ways of working with strategic goals.

The Possibility Club podcast: Practical Bravery   RESPONSIBLE HUSTLING!     The worst of hustle culture is a toxic, mentally straining, alpha-bullshit race in which carnage is left in a trail behind the winner. Whatever winning is.   The best of it is in the drive to continually innovate and to respond to need. It's not that strategic, but it gets things done and it moves things on. Sometimes that is exactly the energy needed to start something.   My question to people in businesses and charities listening to this - what can you do to harness more of the best of it, when you're driving forward impact, whilst avoiding the negative behaviours?

It doesn't make me an elite runner but it is a challenge, and it is hard, and I did achieve it. I got to the end of it and I was like, uh alright, and I stopped running. Just stopped running last year. And actually I got a lot of joy from running. But the goal was frustrating for me. Setting goals is a frustrating behaviour.” “I don't actually believe in building goals, I believe in building habits. I think the problem with goals are, as soon as you hit them you're not satisfied. When you build a habit, you start to learn about it as you go. Building habits leads to excellence and greater outcomes than you would've had initially if you'd just set yourself a goal.” “There's a lot of rubbish people out there, I'm not going to lie.” “If I retired tomorrow and left the startup world, my hope is that no-one would feel the impact, they'd just carry on. And that's not because I'm insignificant, it's because I've done a good enough job of preparing people to do their jobs independently.” The Army Reserve https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/the-army-reserve/ “It sounds so obvious but people forget about it all the time: communicate for your audience. Stop talking where your audience isn't.” “I like hustle culture. I'd use the analogy of an athlete. Do you think anyone said to Kobe Bryant, when he was turning up in the gym at 4am before he went training, they said aw mate, you're working too hard, you're just training too hard. It's bollocks, no-one's saying to him afterwards, you're practising too much, you're getting too good at this. No-one says that. But the thing is, that's his choice. No-one's going to tell a musician how often they can play, that's their choice. But for some reason we have a problem with people doing it in business and we have to tell people how much they can work. Fuck you. If I want to work from 5am til 10pm that's my choice. And if I want the outcomes that I'm trying to achieve, I have to. And it may not be great for my work life balance, but it's my choice. It's not hustle culture, it's hustle choice.” “Fuckin' high-five.”   -----------     This episode was recorded in January 2023 Interviewer: Richard Freeman for always possible Editor: CJ Thorpe-Tracey for Lo Fi Arts   For more visit alwayspossible.co.uk

Welcome to another episode of The HERO Show. I am your host Richard Matthews (@AKATheAlchemist), and you are listening to episode 214 with Sean Campbell – Delivering Market Data, Clarity & Truth. Sean Campbell is the CEO and Co-Founder of https://www.cascadeinsights.com/ (Cascade Insights)—a market research firm that helps organizations seize opportunities in the B2B tech sector. Sean is also a well-regarded consultant, speaker, author, trainer, mentor, and educator. He has delivered talks for Fortune 50 companies and top-tier conferences around the world, and has written extensively on technology and business topics. He specializes in helping organizations find success and opportunity in the B2B tech sector via market research insights, smart strategy, and powerful messaging. Here's just a taste of what we talked about today:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PR-aO09gsaBvc76MUlCJzPe2roxRVO1v/view?usp=sharing (To Transfer Knowledge as a Superpower)Sean is pathologically incapable of learning something without the desire to teach it to somebody. His superpower involves consistently transferring knowledge to people. When he learns something, he wants to turn around and teach it. Now, this doesn't mean he's the only expert on the topic because, obviously, someone had to teach him. The duality is always involved in the process. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tyn-_MQBgFLbz8OZ1rZh3pGE2i9xvQY-/view?usp=sharing (Cascade's Driving Force: To Tell The Truth)To tell the truth is Cascade's driving force. Their mission is to figure out the market truth and tell it to as many people as possible. Sean says this phrase to his clients all the time, "We're happy to tell the truth to as many people as you'll ask". They learn truths about the market and tell it to as many people as possible, meaning people inside the account under a nondisclosure. The end goal, is to make sure many people inside that company know what they have learned. Other Topics We Covered on the Show:We also talked about Sean's origin story. His passion for teaching and persistence of learning about technology led him to be who he is now in the marketing research space. Then, Sean shares what he learned from building and running his first business. Being responsible for everything around him has been Sean's fatal flaw in his business. He tries to conquer this flaw by putting it in God's hands. We get to know if Sean's fatal flaw, which is having the need to be responsible for everything, has impacted his ability to delegate. Clients who think they know it all have been the arch nemesis at Cascade Insights. Lastly, Sean's guiding principle is to think a lot about what to say and to who you are saying it.

For the first time, James walks us through his mistakes, what he denies, and what he defends. Where does the line blur between a hard-driving start-up and a toxic culture. It's a tricky balance many challenger companies have to contend with.

He tells us exclusively how he plans to.

The media is filled with experts comparing today's market with the dot-com crash of 2000. But few, if any, of these experts actually lived and worked through the dot-com boom and bust. Marc Andreessen is Founder and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and Tim Draper is Founder and Managing Director at Draper VC. And both Marc and Tim were either running or investing in tech startups at the time. So, what was it like to experience the dot-com crash? What did Marc and Tim learn that might give us clarity around how to navigate an uncertain economic future? On this episode of Boost VC, Marc and Tim join us to explore the likelihood that we're headed into a recession and explain what they're encouraging founders to do right now. Marc and Tim discuss the mistakes they made in the early 2000s and describe why a downturn can be good for the best companies. Listen in for insight on retaining employees in a remote or hybrid setting and get Marc and Tim's advice on contingency planning to survive an economic crisis—without losing your business.  Topics Covered Where Marc and Tim go for their mediaTimeless source of info = books prior to 1960Direct conversations with foundersScience fiction to predict future What Marc was doing in the early 2000sLaunch Netscape in 1999 at high point in marketLifting weights to burn off stress What Tim was doing in the early 2000sJust raised $1.4B to bring VC to worldHosted party ‘2001 Cyberspace Odyssey' What it takes to be a successful entrepreneurSmart, open to new ideas and determinedSocial skills to build team, raise money, etc.Disagreeable (think against the grain) The likelihood that we're headed into a recessionGood people laid off start own businessesEconomy too complex to predict future  What a16z is encouraging founders to do right nowThink in terms of scenarios and contingenciesConsider specific circumstances of your companyCut deep enough that only do layoffs once  Tim's experience as an investor in the dot-com crashReactive approach, scrambled to raise moneyLost 4 businesses with $100M in revenues The difference between the dot-com crash and 20082000 was equity-driven, credit crisis in 2008Tech companies don't run on debt What Marc did right and wrong in the dot-com crashUnderestimated how bad things could getIPO saved company from bankruptcy Why a downturn can be good for the best companiesEliminates competitionEasier to recruit, gain market share How to retain employees in a hybrid/remote settingCreate intense social bonding experiencesManagement training, employee development How tech innovation is flowing out of the Bay AreaCOVID as catalyst, other cities rise in importanceTexas and Florida are attracting entrepreneurs How governments are in competition for entrepreneursRegulations push businesses outUS can remain #1 if allow startups to innovate Marc and Tim's greatest qualities + accomplishmentsTim fearless in engaging with boldest ideasMarc transformed the VC business Connect with Marc Andreessen Horowitz https://a16z.com/Andreessen Horowitz on Twitter https://twitter.com/a16z  Marc on Twitter https://twitter.com/pmarca Connect with Tim Draper Associates https://www.draper.vc/   Tim on Twitter https://twitter.com/TimDraper   Draper University https://www.draperuniversity.com/Meet the Drapers https://www.meetthedrapers.com/ Resources Tom Swift Books https://tomswift.net  The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205My Years with General Motors by Alfred Sloan https://www.amazon.com/Years-General-Motors-Alfred-Sloan/dp/0385042353  The a16z Podcast https://future.com/a16z-podcast/  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/sarbanes-oxley_actDraper Innovation Index https://index.draperhero.org/ Connect with Boost VC Boost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVCBoost VC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/boost_vc/

We talk with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Barad about how virtual reality (VR) can address gaps in surgical education. Dr. Barad also shares the story of how he started Osso VR, a surgical training and assessment platform. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/6k3XVR --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Barad and our host Dr. Eric Gantwerker discuss how virtual reality (VR) can address gaps in surgical education and Dr. Barad's journey of starting Osso VR, a surgical training and assessment platform. Dr. Barad starts by acknowledging that there is a misconception that VR is trying to replace traditional surgical training. He emphasizes that VR can supplement surgical education because it provides trainees with methods of objective assessment and increased opportunities to practice. In order to encourage adoption of this new technology, Dr. Barad cites the importance of finding common goals for better patient care and showing respect for previous systems of education. The story of Osso VR started from a recognized need for more breadth and volume of cases in surgical residencies. Dr. Barad highlights the inefficient nature of waiting for random chance to bring different types of cases to arrive in the operating room, as opposed to practicing on a wide variety of cases through VR. He emphasizes that high accessibility of VR is more important than trying to achieve extreme fidelity in replicating surgical instruments. Finally, we discuss how surgery requires more cognitive skills than ever before, and how VR can help train surgeons to form plans, make decisions, and manage teams. --- RESOURCES Osso VR: https://www.ossovr.com/ Video games and surgical ability: a literature review: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20630431/ “The Hard Thing About Hard Things” by Ben Horowitz: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205

He brings substantial operational and financial experience to venture-backed tech and biotech companies.

We kick off Season 9 with a classic: Part I of the a16z story. How did this brand new venture firm charge out of the gates in 2009, going from zero to disrupting the entire venture industry overnight? You probably know Marc & Ben's history with Netscape and Loudcloud/Opsware... but what about the Black Panthers, Nintendo 64, Al Gore, Doug Leone, Masayoshi Son, and an epic feud with Benchmark Capital that became Silicon Valley's version of the Hatfields and the McCoys? Buckle up, Acquired's got the truth. If you love Acquired and want more, join our LP Community for access to over 50 LP-only episodes, monthly Zoom calls, and live access for big events like emergency pods and book club discussions with authors. We can't wait to see you there. Join here at: https://acquired.fm/lp/ Sponsors: Thank you to Pilot for being our presenting sponsor for all of Acquired Season 9! Pilot takes care of startups' bookkeeping, tax and CFO services so busy founders can focus on what matters, which is building the company. To paraphrase Jeff Bezos's famous AWS analogy: bookkeeping and tax don't make your product any better — so you should let Pilot handle them for you. In fact Pilot is backed by Bezos himself via Bezos Expeditions, along with an all-star roster of other investors including Sequoia, Index, and Stripe. They are truly the gold standard for startup bookkeeping, and many of the companies we work with run on them.

What failures have shaped you into the person you are now? It’s an easy question to ask, but a hard one to answer. Yet for Omar Zenhom, it’s the question behind all of his successes today. In this episode, we sit down with Omar Zenhom, founder of Webinar Ninja, an online platform that expedites the configuration of large-scale webinars, and host of the award-winning $100 MBA Podcast, which provides aspiring entrepreneurs with free, daily doses of real-world business advice. While Omar may seem like he’s already learned all he needed to succeed, there was a time when he too had a lot to learn about entrepreneurship. And his best teacher at the time? Failure. Join us as we explore Omar’s entrepreneurial journey, starting from his Long Island roots growing up in an Egyptian-American immigrant family, to his earlier career experiences in Egypt and Dubai, and finally to the momentary reset behind his return to the Big Apple, where his long-lasting passion for teaching fostered his success with Webinar Ninja and The $100 MBA Podcast.

We are picking right back with Mark and Ben's interview with Matthew Barnett on this episode of The Friday Habit. Matthew continues to expand on his vision for customer service, being accessible and hospitable to every customer (or potential customer) who contacts your team. His approach is data-driven, recognizing that satisfied customers come back and buy more or new products and they also recommend your products or services to others. A great next step in improving your customer experience is visually mapping out their journey with you, taking note of the touchpoints, typical conversion points, and any gaps that you could look into filling. You can also reach out to advocates of yours or loyal customers for their feedback on the customer experience. Matthew recognizes that many people are hesitant or unsure about starting a business because of the unknowns, but he says that the best way to get into the market is just to do it. Start a website, post a few products, and see what happens. If you have a good idea, you will know pretty quickly based on the demand, but if you don't attract customers after a little while, you might need to have an honest conversation with yourself about the feasibility of the type of company you want to have. You might need to take a step back and offer people what they really want or need as a milestone along the path to where you eventually want to end up. Finally, Matthew emphasizes the importance of setting up a culture and having scheduled team meeting, especially for global teams. Outside of work, he tries to read a book per week and he is a part of a founders group that serves as a mastermind of sorts, which is a great resource and source of accountability for him and the other members.Links:https://www.bonjoro.com/videofunnelplaybook “The Lost and Founder”: https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Founder-Painfully-Honest-Startup/dp/0735213321 “The Hard Thing About Hard Things”: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205“Traction”: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837 “Viral Loop”: https://www.amazon.com/Viral-Loop-Facebook-Businesses-Themselves/dp/1401323499 Connect with Matthew:https://www.verbate.com/https://www.bonjoro.com/https://au.linkedin.com/in/mbjbarnettConnect with us:https://www.thefridayhabit.com/thefridayhabit@knapsackcreative.com https://www.instagram.com/benjaminmanleyhttp://www.benjaminmanley.com/https://www.brandvivamedia.com/https://www.facebook.com/Marklab2https://www.linkedin.com/in/marklab2/

Who said tools and techniques don’t transfer from different industries? Whether you’re in health & wellness or marketing, there are always tips and tricks you can take away from a CEO. In today’s episode, we chat with Gina Michnowicz, who is the CEO at The Craftsman Agency.   Today we are talking about a whole gamut of things – from how to have shareable content on social media to how to hire and fire employees or freelancers. But for majority of this conversation, we discuss how to be a leader in your business.   Whether you are completely solo in your business or you’ve hired freelancers or contractors to do some work, you need to be a leader. Because even your clients need to be led!   In this episode we discuss:  - your brand is your culture (and everyone needs to be on board, including your clients!)  - the blueberry theory: how one bad blueberry can ruin the whole container  - what you need to look for when hiring a contractor or freelancer  - keeping it simple if you have to let someone go - what it takes to be a servant leader   A lot of what we discussed today can certainly translate to your relationships with your clients. So even if you’re nowhere near hiring an employee or a contractor, you’ll find value in knowing how to be a leader to your clients. And when you are ready to sign someone on to do some work, you’ll know what to look for to grow your team.   Gina is a hands-on, fully engaged, client-focused CEO. She built her career intentionally, gaining experience in a variety of disciplines and going deep in marketing and sales within brands, agency, and management consulting. She thinks both strategically and creatively, leading the team to push the envelope with work that both surprise and intrigue audiences in both B2B and B2C markets. Gina’s expertise in brand, digital, and social media has won engagements with clients like Cisco, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Microsoft. For these and other brands, she has led teams from concept to delivery of immersive digital experiences, experiential installations, websites, and bespoke advertising campaigns as the Executive Creative Director.

James White on the Unique Challenges to Success in the Software Sector You’ve heard it before… the software sector is becoming more competitive by the day … and you need to adapt or die! I think most of us understand this. But it can be hard to figure out exactly HOW we should adapt. And the contradictory advice out there doesn’t help. This is of course a big topic, and it’s one we’re going to cover in more detail in future episodes. But today, I wanted to at least kick-start that discussion in a dramatic way. My guest is James White, the UK’s leading prospect conversion expert and sales mentor, and the co-author of the book Sales Genius 1: 20 top sales professionals share their sales secrets. Our conversation may not answer all your questions. But I hope it gets you thinking in the right direction - and that it sets the stage for additional episodes on this important topic. Also, James has kindly offered to give away 5 FREE COPIES OF HIS BOOK (Sales Genius 1: 20 top sales professionals share their sales secrets) to BOSS-IT listeners. If you’d like a copy then contact me at medwards@bossequity.com.If you could include in your email some feedback for the BOSS-IT podcast then it would be appreciated :) Links for podcast:Sales Genius 1: 20 top sales professionals share their secrets by Andrew Priestley - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sales-Genius-sales-professionals-secrets-ebook/dp/B07GZVWNX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537947510&sr=8-1&keywords=sales+genius+andrew The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers by Ben Horowitz - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537947593&sr=8-1&keywords=the+hard+thing+about+hard+things James White (LinkedIn) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameswhitesales?originalSubdomain=uk James White (YouTube) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUqzRMkyEC3dLYj5vQtzDEw James White (Website) - http://www.jameswhite.business/

J Tower is working from home. This episode is sponsored by Smartsheet. Show Notes: Coworking was discussed. Check out Global Coworking Map I believe the Steve Jobs quote referenced is: "A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players". You can hear a variation of it in this Steve Jobs video Some of the remote work news stories mentioned: Marissa Mayer: Yahoos can no longer work from home IBM, a Pioneer of Remote Work, Calls Workers Back to the Office Reddit Gives Remote Employees Until End Of Year To Relocate To San Francisco I think I mentioned GitHub in the podcast, but I may have been mistaken about that? I can’t find a news story about it. So, my mistake. Book: Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried and DHH Book: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz J Tower’s company is Trailhead Technology Partners J wrote a blog post called Working from Home for Fun and Profit Don’t forget to check out Beer City Code. It’s coming up soon! I’ll see you there! J Tower is on Twitter. Want to be on the next episode? You can! All you need is the willingness to talk about something technical.

האורח שלי בפרק הזה הוא נמרוד וורומן. נמרוד הוא עו"ד וותיק בתחום, ממשרד יגאל ארנון שהוא אחד המשרדים המובילים בארץ בתחום העיסקי. כשרוצים להגיד על מישהו שהוא ראה הכל מתכוונים לנמרוד. הסיבה היא פשוטה, נמרוד היה יזם בעצמו ומעל 10 שנים מלווה חברות סטאטראפ,מבוססות, משקיעים ורוכשים ורק לאחרונה היה בצוות שייצג את אינטל ברכישת מובילאיי. את האמת שהפרק איתו הוא אחד המעניינים וזה בעיקר כי נמרוד יודע בדיוק על מה הוא מדבר והסיפורים שהוא מוסיף לטיפים שלו השאירו אותי עם פה פעור. נמרוד דיבר על בניית צוות וחלוקת אחוזים, reverse vesting, איך לכסות את עצמכם למקרים עתידיים שתופסים כמעט 50% מהיזמים לא מוכנים. הסכמים עם Finders, על הטיפ שקיבל ממייסד Cisco ולמה עורך דין הוא כמו חובש לסטארטאפים. אם יש שיחה אחת שאתם צריכים לשמוע עם עו"ד לפני שאתם מתחילים את המיזם שלכם - זו השיחה הזו. שיחה מאלפת עם עו"ד שכנראה שתרצו לשמוע יותר מפעם אחת [משרד עו"ד יגאל ארנון ושות'](http://www.arnon.co.il/he/content/frontpage-0) [הספר Shoe Dog](http://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Dog-Phil-Knight/dp/1508211809) [הספר Outliers](http://www.amazon.com/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-Gladwell-ebook/dp/B001ANYDAO/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) [הספר The hard thing about the hard things](http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building-ebook/dp/B00DQ845EA/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1519323381&sr=1-2&keywords=the+hard+things+about+the+hard+things)
