Episode Description:James reconnects with entrepreneurs Michael and Kass Lazerow, whose journey spans selling Golf.com for $24 million, launching and pivoting Buddy Media into a $700 million Salesforce acquisition, and now investing in breakout brands like Liquid Death. This episode isn't about startup clichés—it's about emotional resilience, firing with kindness, how marriage can (barely) survive co-founding, and how to spot a trend before the world does.They break down their “Go Gauge,” the six-part test they use before investing in a company. They talk about the trauma of being betrayed by family. And they reveal the surprisingly simple cheat codes they've used to keep building—and keep loving each other—across decades of risk. Whether you're building a business, looking for one good idea, or wondering what failure really feels like behind closed doors—this episode will give you a few new answers.What You'll Learn:Why transparency—not optimism—is a founder's best crisis toolThe six traits every idea needs to pass their “Go Gauge”How to fire someone with empathy and still tell them the truthWhat to do when your startup fails and the investors vanishWhy the best startup strategy might be launching a pizza shopTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Bacon, milkshakes, and a first meeting[03:00] The Golf.com collapse and family betrayal[07:30] The psychology of failure and the will not to quit[12:00] Buddy Media's pivot: from Facebook games to SaaS[15:00] Why failure sucks—but trends are your friend[21:00] Surviving marriage while surviving a startup[26:00] Emotional awareness, therapy, and not “shining the turd”[33:00] The $500M pizza truck startup fail[38:00] The truth about hiring, firing, and reorganizing[44:00] The death of venture capital—and rise of bootstrapping[50:00] Investing in pets, ice cream, and par-3 golf[54:00] Why Liquid Death is a billion-dollar brand[57:00] The Go Gauge: 6 filters for a fundable idea[01:02:00] Friendship, failure, and why they finally wrote the bookAdditional Resources:

Send us a textThe enterprise tech and AI landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace, marked by bold investments, leadership changes, and groundbreaking innovations. Mike Ettling's departure from Unit4 prompts reflection on AI's transformative role in ERP, even as companies like Overhaul secure $55 million to tackle persistent supply chain challenges for giants like Dyson and Microsoft. Meanwhile, the personal use of AI is making waves—one individual's AI-assisted job hunt while asleep led to 50 interview calls overnight, underscoring the technology's growing influence in everyday life. Major funding rounds, such as SandboxAQ's $300 million raise, highlight investor confidence in the next generation of AI applications. On the product front, Agentforce 2.0 introduces a vision of digital labor that promises an infinitely scalable workforce, while HubSpot's co-founder launched Agent.ai, attracting over 258,000 users in just four months. Consolidation continues as Arctic Wolf and BlackBerry agree on the acquisition of Cylance, and Grammarly's acquisition of Coda signals a new phase of AI-powered productivity, accompanied by a leadership shift. Amid these developments, Salesforce prepares to launch AI agents and a retail-focused POS system, even as its CEO openly criticizes Microsoft Copilot as a “huge disaster,” adding further intrigue to the unfolding AI arms race.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Kunstmatige intelligentie pakt je baan af! Dat is in ieder geval zo bij Microsoft. Daar waren zesduizend ontslagen vorige maand niet genoeg. Daarom worden er wéér honderden banen geschrapt. De ontslagen hangen samen met de snelle opkomst van AI. Iets soortgelijks gebeurt bij Meta en Salesforce. Maar ook in andere sectoren doen bedrijven het met minder mensen. Zoals bij de grootste private werkgever van de VS: Walmart, en bij Disney.

The AI arms race is a head fake. Tom Chavez, Founding General Partner at super{set}, shares his expertise as a serial entrepreneur who has built companies acquired by Salesforce and Microsoft. He explains how marketers can leverage synthetic data to maximize efficiency with smaller, high-quality datasets rather than massive volumes of dirty information. Tom also reveals how AI orchestration can transform marketing workflows by automating repetitive tasks while augmenting human creativity rather than replacing it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Progressive's George O'Connor and Ian Robertson catch up on events in and around the UK small and mid-cap listed tech. Looking to the US, Salesforce and C3.ai results show positive momentum for AI, as of course do Nvidia's. But investors are asking more questions and AI vs. Economic Downturn is a match that's difficult to call. Ian is more immediately concerned about the impact of US government actions to curtail sales into China by Cadence, Synopsis and Siemens EDA – companies which, like ASML and TSMC, you really need to understand to truly get tech. George and Ian ponder the Pensions Investment Review. Only serious AIM/small-cap Kool-Aid imbibers would have hoped for much, so AIM/Aquis ranking on a par with a theme park near Bedford is perhaps a result. Directing money to infrastructure/tech direct impact is an easier sell to the party/public than bailing out UK public equities. Consider those who look upon it from the outside. This is a government that is trying to do something to stimulate growth. Something that could, or even should, be seen as a positive development. To outsiders the failings of UK public equities and small-cap / AIM in particular are all too evident and have been for quite some time. It's widely recognised as a market and regulatory structure that does not work as it should for investors or companies. Perhaps that needs changing to get Rachel Reeves onside. Grabbing the segue across to a market that has seen success on AIM, George highlights recent gaming sector newsflow and the potential for patient investors to gain from its returning health.

Michael und Endrit sind heute mit einer neuen Folge Babos sprechen Börsen am Start. Da sie in den letzten zwei Wochen im Podcast andere Themen behandelt haben, werden sie auch nächste Woche eine weitere Folge BSB aufnehmen – denn an Themen mangelt es an den Märkten derzeit nicht. Heute sprechen die Babos unter anderem über die Gerichtsentscheidung(en) zur Trump'schen Zollpolitik, wie die Märkte darauf reagieren und insbesondere, wie der Dollar und der amerikanische Anleihenmarkt darauf reagieren. Auch wenn gefühlt die Zollthematik alles andere überschattet, konnten die Babos heute auch ein wenig über die Zahlen von Nvidia und Salesforce sprechen, die diese Woche für positive Stimmung an den Börsen sorgten. Nicht zuletzt wurde auch der Arbeitsmarkt thematisiert – und die Frage, ab wann es kritisch werden könnte, sodass die Notenbanker wieder eingreifen müssten. Das und vieles mehr gibt es in der heutigen Folge – also solltest du unbedingt einschalten! Viel Spaß mit der Folge und ein wunderschönes Wochenende!

Have you ever felt torn between who you are... and who you used to be?  Inside all of us live competing identities—conflicting desires, beliefs, and values. True growth begins not by choosing one or the other, but by learning to honor and integrate them with compassion and clarity. In this powerful intervention from Date with Destiny 2024, Tony Robbins works with tech entrepreneur Josh—whose journey took him from washing dishes in college to building software used by hundreds of millions. He's achieved incredible success—and endured painful setbacks—but even with everything he's built, something feels off. The fire inside him has burned out. Josh has embraced the spiritual, laid-back “hippie” within—the side of him that no longer chases external wins. But that identity conflicts with the ambitious, relentless entrepreneur he used to be... and that internal battle has left him stuck. Tony helps Josh uncover how his unconscious mind has kept these parts of himself at odds—and how to bring them into alignment to unlock his full potential. Using tools like the Psychology of Human Needs and Collapse Anchors, Tony guides Josh to create a new story: one where he doesn't have to choose between sides but can rise as something greater. This isn't just one man's breakthrough—it's a reflection of the journey we all face. Because when we create harmony within, we awaken the power to become who we're truly meant to be. We hope this serves you—and we'd love to hear what insight you take away. *You can watch this intervention (and tons of powerful Tony Robbins content) on our official YouTube channel: youtube.com/@TonyRobbinsLive       *Tony Robbins is a #1 New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the nation's #1 Life and Business Strategist.

AI's increasing presence in the legal field is raising significant concerns, particularly regarding the accuracy of information generated by these systems. Judges have reported a notable rise in AI-generated inaccuracies, with 23 instances of fake legal citations identified since May 1st. Legal data analyst Damien Chartland has documented 120 cases where courts recognized AI's hallucinations, which include fabricated legal quotes and non-existent authorities. This trend indicates a shift in responsibility, as lawyers are now accountable for these errors, contrasting with previous instances where self-represented individuals were primarily at fault. The implications are serious, with courts imposing fines exceeding $10,000 for AI misuse.The impact of automation extends beyond the legal sector, as a recent report highlights the potential for AI to exacerbate the gender employment gap. In high-income countries, the risk of women facing job automation has risen to 9.6%, while the risk for men is significantly lower at 3.5%. Jobs traditionally held by women, such as administrative roles, are particularly vulnerable to automation. Experts warn that without substantial changes in the labor market, women may face increased challenges in securing stable employment, as their work often shifts toward household tasks rather than formal employment.In the tech industry, Databricks has revealed that 80% of new databases created on their NEON platform were generated by AI agents, showcasing the growing influence of non-developers in coding. This trend emphasizes the need for companies to adapt to remain competitive, focusing on optimizing products for visibility to large language models. Meanwhile, Zoom's CEO has begun using an AI avatar for quarterly earnings calls, raising questions about authenticity and trust in corporate communication. The use of AI avatars could level the playing field for small business leaders but also introduces risks such as impersonation and misuse.Finally, Qualcomm has challenged Apple's claims regarding the performance of its in-house C1 modem, asserting that it falls short compared to Qualcomm's existing technology. A study found that Android devices powered by Qualcomm outperformed the iPhone 16e in both download and upload speeds, particularly in urban environments. Despite these challenges, Apple aims for full-stack control over its technology, and while the initial performance may not meet expectations, the company is known for its ability to iterate and improve rapidly. This ongoing competition highlights the dynamic nature of the tech industry and the importance of innovation.  Four things to know today  00:00 The Hidden Costs of AI: Legal Fines, Workforce Disruption, and the Rise of Unchecked Automation in the Enterprise05:51 New AI Integrations From OpenAI, Salesforce, and GoTo Push Deeper Into MSP Value Chain—Control or Be Commoditized09:01 From Efficiency to Deception?
