Send us Fan MailCharles Yeomans has raised over $50 million from more than fourteen thousand investors - not a handful of VCs, but a crowdfunded community he communicates with multiple times a week. In this episode, he explains why treating that many backers like a movement instead of a cap table has changed how he builds trust, why he refuses to promise exact dates even when he's confident in the plan, and the one thing he tells every founder pitching for money: nobody cares about your technology.What You Will LearnYou'll learn how Charles manages investor trust at a scale most founders never encounter, and why he deliberately avoids specific dates even when a milestone is basically locked in. You'll hear the story of the mistake early in his investment banking career that still shapes how carefully he communicates today, and why he believes technical founders lose pitches by talking about how their product works instead of the value it creates. He also breaks down what his AI platform actually does - compressing data so devices can send four times more of it without expensive hardware upgrades - and who's already lining up to use it.Timestamps 00:00 - How do you manage fourteen thousand investors? 04:38 - Building trust at scale with a crowd, not a boardroom 06:38 - Why Charles never promises an exact date 08:32 - $50M raised and the shift to institutional money 09:11 - Why he came back for one more startup 11:21 - What NerPac actually does, and who needs it 16:19 - The unfair advantage of an investment banking background 17:59 - The story that still keeps him careful 26:43 - The number one mistake founders make when pitching 22:56 - "It's not a straight line" - the title of his storyAbout the Guest Charles Yeomans built his career across investment banking, insurance, and Navy intelligence before founding the company behind NerPac and PCM, AI-driven data compression technology used in satellite communications, defense, and connected vehicles.

Send us Fan MailWhile most founders are still deciding whether to trust AI with a single task, Gavin has given his AI agents formal performance reviews. In this episode, he breaks down why he treats AI like a first-year employee rather than a tool, how CROWD Now built an internal HR system for its own AI agents, and why staying self-funded has shaped nearly every product decision he's made since.What You Will LearnYou'll learn why treating AI like a fresh-out-of-college intern - talented but inexperienced - changes how you manage it, and why giving agents a tiered approval system prevents costly mistakes from repeating. You'll hear how CROWD Now runs nightly memory reviews on every AI interaction so agents learn from their own behavior, and why the most successful enterprise AI use cases are often the smallest ones, not the flashiest. Gavin also walks through why he's stayed self-funded rather than raising outside capital, the biggest mistake he sees founders make about AI risk, and where he still won't let AI near the work.Timestamps00:00 - Why AI should be treated like an intern, not a tool02:15 - Giving AI agents performance reviews and an HR system04:16 - Building AI "employees," not just agents07:59 - Who CROWD Now is really built for09:09 - The AI use case Gavin didn't expect to win10:01 - Building a platform that's 90% AI-coded15:11 - Why Gavin has stayed self-funded18:26 - The biggest mistake founders make about AI risk23:09 - This or That with Gavin32:32 - The Elon Musk comparison33:11 - Gavin's nonprofit ambitions34:33 - The title of Gavin's movieAbout the GuestGavin is the founder of CROWD Now, an AI platform built to give founders and lean teams enterprise-level infrastructure without enterprise headcount. He's built the majority of the platform himself - CROWD Now is roughly 90% AI-coded - after years of building software out of necessity, from an early Etsy-style bracelet business in high school to internal tools built for a library and a Starbucks where he worked. Gavin has kept CROWD Now self-funded, financing product development through consulting work rather than raising outside capital.Important LinksConnect with Gavinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gavin-lawton-892ab4192/Connect with HinaConnect with Hina - https://thehinasiddiqui.com/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/hinasiddiquiInstagram: @hinawithwingsYouTube: @thehinasiddiquiProduction Credit: Produced by @the32collective_ / https://www.the32collective.co/

Ahhh yes, good times…good times. Lotta bug talk this episode. Laika Rountree chatted to us about a couple of shows they'd watched this past fortnight: Auckland Theatre Company's 'Macbeth' and 'Memory of a Honey Bee.' The talented Mr Tom Lark popped in to discuss his new tune, ‘Sun's Up', and boy, is it a groover. The whole of Karangahape Road was bobbing to this one. The Peter Lineham fan club will be distraught with the news that we had to can this week's That's the Spirit due to a poor connection with Peter, who's in Tonga. Thanks The Beer Spot!

Two sisters and their methods for shifting performance nerves into joyful performances.Hina & Fiona are sisters and a world-class violin duo. They are Juilliard-trained under Itzhak Perlman and Midori, with Fiona making her New York Philharmonic debut at 16, Hina winning the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and their debut album Dear to Us out now on Pentatone. In this episode, Dr. Juna talks with them about the mental game of performing under pressure: how to flip from your harshest critic in the practice room to your most convicted self on stage, why they refuse to lean on pre-show rituals, how they recover from a mistake mid-performance, and the adaptability that keeps them calm when nothing ever goes exactly as planned.It's a RELAX TO SOAR™ conversation about the "A" in SOAR — adaptability — Hina talks about how RELAX TO SOAR is a concept she thinks about before she walks on stage.Links:Hina & Fiona → ⁠https://www.hinafiona.com⁠Album Dear to Us (Pentatone) → ⁠https://www.pentatonemusic.com/product/dear-to-us/⁠Hina & Fiona prep and have routines that help them succeed — the RELAX TO SOAR™ system builds that same steady structure into your day.Control your time and cognitively offload your health and performance with the 6-month RELAX TO SOAR™ planner.Sign up now to get free email support with your planner:mindbodyspace.com/storeHashtags: #HinaAndFiona #ViolinDuo #StageFright #PerformanceAnxiety #ClassicalMusic #Juilliard #DearToUs #PerformUnderPressure #MusiciansMentalHealth #RelaxToSoar #MindBodySpace

Send us Fan MailAfter 30 years running companies and multiple nine-figure exits, Joel Trammell noticed something no one else was building: software for every function of a business except the one running all of them. In this episode, he breaks down why the CEO seat has operated on instinct for decades, the five things only a CEO can actually do, and how he's built an AI platform designed to finally give CEOs the operating system every other role already has.What You Will LearnYou'll learn why CEO failure follows a predictable pattern, and why founders who scaled by doing everything themselves eventually hit a wall they can't out-work. You'll hear why trust starts with communicating vision clearly rather than control, and why most CEOs are using AI the wrong way entirely.

'Tis Monday once more. Lots of happenings this week. We discussed bridges, Bridgers, and Dave from Nirvana even called up—though Crawley was in such a state of disbelief, he hung up. An even greater Dave, Dave Taylor of the mythical Magic Factory, joined us to talk about their absolutely stunner of a new EP, 'Wild Times,' and the band's Wild Times Party show next week. The classic in culinary literature, 'Cooking With Kenny Rogers,' was also mentioned. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham called up and we discussed Jainism (known for its nudie priests). Unofficial third Monday Drive host Lou also joined us to discuss the book she's reading on indie rock history. New segment?!? Ngā mihi The Beer Spot.

Imagine growing up with poets like Rahat Indori and Waseem Barelvi dropping by your home.For Hina Rizvi, that was part of growing up in Lucknow. But her own poetry stayed hidden in private diaries for years.In this episode of Rekhta Room, Hina joins Faisal Fehmi to talk about finding the confidence to step onto the mushaira stage, the support that changed her journey, women finding space in poetry, and how social media is reshaping modern adab.Plus, Hina shares the influences behind her writing and closes the episode with a special ghazal recitation.From private pages to a public voice. This is Hina Rizvi's story.

Ad Astra Travelers and welcome to Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. This week, our hosts are returning to Inazuma to discuss top dog, General Gorou. We also welcome guest host Vanessa, best known for being our Fischl expert and a Venti, Xiangling, and Honkai enthusiast, to discuss this beloved general! After Tif is given space to air her grievances with Gorou, our other hosts and guest set out on a mission to make her like Gorou even just a little bit! After we review our initial thoughts on the top dog, we review his part in the Inazuma Archon line and how he rose through the ranks to become Kokomi's second in command. Afterwards, we'll run through his hangout with a heavy focus on his fear of Yae Miko, empathy and secret double life (even to him) as Ms. Hina. Later, we'll discuss his passion for climbing, exploration of Teyvat and the possibilities that lay ahead for Gorou - from puppy unions to ascending up Dragonspine, the options are endless!

Send us Fan MailVarun Jain built ComplyJet into a profitable, growing company by deliberately rejecting the funded-and-fast playbook - choosing customer cash flow over venture capital because the constraints of bootstrapping force sharper positioning and clearer decision-making. His path - Stanford, a top enterprise AI company, three companies built - proves that capital-stage credibility doesn't require a term sheet. It requires ownership of the narrative and discipline in the build.What You Will LearnWhy staying bootstrapped can be a stronger capital-stage move than raising VCHow working inside a top enterprise AI company shaped his approach to building ComplyJetWhat "owning your narrative" actually means for founder positioningHow to know when to play safe versus go all-in on growthWhy customer cash flow can create sharper decision-making than investor capitalAbout the GuestVarun Jain is a third-time founder who built ComplyJet, a compliance software company, into a profitable, fast-growing business over the last three quarters - without raising outside capital. Before this, he worked at a top enterprise AI company and built payments and e-commerce ventures across the US and India, including leading product at Myntra during its highest-growth phase.

Send us Fan MailLarry Namer built E! Entertainment Television from nothing and turned it into a global brand valued at billions - and he's spent the years since building media businesses across Russia and China, always staying ahead of the next disruption. In this conversation, he sits down with Hina to talk about the thing that's rattling Hollywood now: AI. His take isn't fear, it's familiarity - he's watched broadcast give way to cable, cable give way to streaming, and now streaming give way to whatever comes next, and he's convinced this cycle isn't any different.What You Will LearnYou'll hear why Larry believes most of Hollywood's fear around AI isn't really about the technology at all, but about the absence of legal structures and contracts to govern it. Hina opens up about being approached by an AI agency that wanted to build a digital avatar of her - and the two dig into where the line sits between using AI as a tool and losing your own authenticity to it. Larry also walks through how AI has changed his own creative process, cutting research that once took years down to hours, and shares his blunt advice for anyone in the industry still sitting on the sidelines. The conversation closes out with a rapid-fire round of This or That, where Larry picks sides on AI, streaming, and the future of Hollywood without hesitation.Timestamps00:00 — Cable to AI: Larry's Disruption Playbook 02:50 — AI Levels the Playing Field 07:03 — Deepfakes and Her AI Avatar 09:06 — Is AI Psychopathic? 11:28 — Is Authenticity Dead? 13:39 — This or That with Larry NamerAbout the GuestLarry Namer co-founded E!

Send us Fan MailNatalie Glebova won Miss Universe 2005 as a Russian immigrant many people told her she couldn't win. Two decades later, she's telling a very different story - about the identity crisis that followed the crown, why she ran from a 10-day meditation retreat after four days, and why she'd choose freedom over fame every time.What You Will LearnYou'll hear how Natalie went from feeling like a second-class citizen as a young immigrant in Canada to winning Miss Universe Canada on her second attempt, and why she calls the title itself "the most scenic route" to a destination she believes she was always headed toward. She talks candidly about the identity crisis that followed her win, why achieving something that big at a young age left little room for real self-awareness, and how she eventually found her way into meditation, spirituality, and the plant medicine ceremonies that reshaped how she sees herself. She also opens up about writing her book Temple of Love, what true self-love actually requires, and why she believes freedom - not fame - is the truest measure of a life well lived.Timestamps0:00 - Immigrant roots and bullying growing up in Canada1:24 - Competing (and losing) Miss Universe Canada the first time3:37 - Trying again and winning the title5:58 - How life changed after winning Miss Universe7:43 - What actually makes a winner13:41 - The identity crisis behind the crown17:00 - Discovering meditation - and failing Vipassana24:52 - Writing Temple of Love30:51 - Ayahuasca, plant medicine, and the shaman Nayana44:15 - The line from her book that still moves her53:17 - What she's still learning about herself55:46 - Fame or freedom?59:03 - Her closing mantra: "This is happening for me"About the GuestNatalie Glebova is a Russian-Canadian author and energy coach who won Miss Universe 2005.

Send us Fan MailMike Grossman has built and sold six companies in Silicon Valley — one of them growing to a $30 million run rate in under a year before Congress legislated its business model out of existence overnight. In this conversation, he explains why his book is called Failure Is an Option, why the best things in his life were never the ones he planned, and why he walked away from funding rather than push out his co-founder and best friend.What You Will LearnMike shares how a single unplanned answer in a job interview set off a chain of decisions that led him to his wife, his career, and Silicon Valley itself. He talks about refusing an investor's demand to remove his co-founder as CEO, and what that cost him in delayed funding. He walks through losing a business overnight to new legislation, and how a failed IPO attempt during COVID turned into a better outcome than going public would have. He also unpacks why he believes decisions should be made on analysis rather than emotion, and how the three roles of a CEO — strategist, psychologist, and storyteller — shape everything else.Timestamps 00:00 — The interview moment that changed everything07:40 — Starting his first company the day his wife went into labor10:00 — The investor who wanted him to fire his best friend15:47 — Building six companies and learning patience through negotiation18:38 — Luck, belief, and staying level through the ups and downs27:02 — Redefining success on your own terms28:21 — This or That with Mike Grossman31:23 — The three roles of a CEO: strategist, psychologist, storytellerAbout the GuestMike Grossman has founded and sold six companies across Silicon Valley, spanning small business finance, lending, and fintech.

Send us Fan MailIn 1999, while the world was buying tech stocks with both hands, Alex McIntyre's algorithm was telling clients to sell. The dot-com bubble burst anyway. Three decades and a 76.2% hit rate later, Alex is still making the same argument: the biggest threat to an investor's returns isn't the market, it's their own emotion.What You Will LearnHow a purely quantitative, emotion-free model has called major market turns — including the 2008 financial crisis — three to six months ahead of the curve. Why even sophisticated investors get fooled by a "good label," the same way wine critics are swayed by a famous name on the bottle. What separates a hedge fund's agility from a pension fund's caution, and why that difference matters for returns. How Alex identifies balance sheet red flags that traditional P/E-focused analysts miss entirely. Why he shut down his first hedge fund during COVID — and what's different about the relaunch.Timestamps00:00 — Calling the dot-com bubble before it burst 01:14 — Why clients still want the glossy report over the cold data 03:16 — The wine critic theory: how labels fool even experts 06:01 — Spotting balance sheet red flags others miss 06:34 — How the algorithm was built — and how it found its first client 18:00 — Why he's raising a hedge fund now 21:02 — The meeting that triggered the decision to launch 23:03 — What founders get wrong about hedge funds 26:18 — This or That with Alex McIntyre 28:29 — The title of his life story, and whyAbout the GuestAlex McIntyre has spent over three decades in quantitative investing, beginning his career in proprietary trading and market making with SG Warburg's and Lehman Brothers in London and New York. He now runs a stock-picking algorithm — originally built in the late 1980s by a mathematician colleague and launched commercially in 1998 — that has served Tier 1 pension funds and hedge funds for over twenty years with a 76.2% hit rate.
