Entrepreneur and sales strategist Doug Brown joins me to unpack what really happens when success collapses—and why the ability to rebuild matters more than avoiding failure.Most business conversations glamorize wins and sanitize losses. This episode does neither. Doug Brown and I walk through the uncomfortable reality of losing millions, starting over with almost nothing, and repeatedly reinventing yourself when the old path no longer works. From early failures in telecom and software to rebuilding after financial wipeouts, Doug shares what persistence actually looks like beyond motivational slogans.We explore why “safe careers” are an illusion, how low burn rates create optionality, and why scrimping alone won't build a meaningful life. This is a candid conversation about volatility, personal identity, money, family, regret, and why wisdom often comes from getting knocked down—then learning how to get up faster the next time.The lesson isn't masochism or chaos. It's designing a life and business resilient enough to absorb hits without losing yourself in the process.TL;DR* Reinvention isn't a phase—it's a permanent skill in modern life.* Failure isn't the problem; slow recovery time is.* Low burn rates create flexibility and asymmetric upside.* “Safe” careers can disappear faster than risky ones.* Wealth without alignment creates loneliness, not freedom.* Cash flow matters more than cash hoarding.* Regret comes more from inaction than from failed attempts.Memorable Lines* “It's not the setback—it's how fast you recover.”* “Live modestly so your life becomes a call option.”* “Money lets you arrive at your problems in style.”* “You only have to get it right once to set yourself free.”* “All the chips get pushed back to the middle eventually.”GuestDoug Brown — Entrepreneur, sales strategist, and founder of CEO Sales StrategiesFormer president of Tony Robbins' companies, advisor to global organizations, and veteran of 37 businesses across multiple industries.
In this engaging conversation, Kevin and Mike delve into the evolution of Mike's welding business, Rockin' Two Industries, which he started in 2012 with no prior experience. Mike shares his unique journey from a novice welder to a successful business owner, emphasizing the importance of networking and collaboration within the welding community. He discusses how he built connections through social media and local groups, which have been instrumental in his growth. The conversation also touches on the challenges of managing a team, maintaining a positive work culture, and the significance of saying 'no' to unprofitable projects to ensure sustainable growth.As they explore the intricacies of running a welding shop, Mike reflects on the importance of building a network within the industry and the value of collaboration over competition. He stresses that many welding business owners make the mistake of trying to grow too quickly without establishing a solid foundation. The episode wraps up with insights on project management tools and the necessity of adapting to the evolving needs of the business, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and improvement in the welding industry.Takeaways"I didn't know what I was doing. Got on YouTube and 13 years later, here I am.""Saying no has been the hardest thing for you to do in business.""The internet for the welding business has been really, really helpful for a lot of us.""If you're not thinking, if you're like the old school mindset of competition, you better rewire it or you're just going to fizzle out.""I will protect the culture of this shop at all costs." "It's tough to balance that out.""You have to have that base in place.""It's better to stay small and perfect what you're doing.""If you can justify that, go get it.""You need to get out there and knock on some doors.""You can't get rid of that.""There's a cost to changing gears.""You have to charge for that or else it catches up to you.""Creating that network is a pretty big deal.""You need to have the will to make it work."Chapters00:00 Introduction and Setup02:09 Mike's Unique Journey into Welding05:05 The Power of Networking in the Welding Community08:35 Profit Sharing and Collaboration with Other Businesses17:32 Managing a Team and Maintaining Work Culture26:48 Future Aspirations for Rockin' Two Industries33:49 Team Skills and Project Diversity35:25 Overview of Shop Projects42:18 Challenges of Business Growth46:16 Learning to Say No50:15 Customer Relations and Advertising Strategies57:24 Financial Lessons Learned01:09:51 The Right Tools for the Job01:11:00 Space Constraints and Shop Organization01:15:58 Common Pitfalls in Business Growth01:19:54 Lessons Learned and Advice for New Owners01:24:06 Managing Projects and InvoicingI want to hear from you guys!

A UNITED NATIONS AGENCY FOR MIGRATION AND THE FUTURE OF FOOD Colleague Gaia Vince. Batchelor and Vince discuss a vision for managed migration where a new United Nations agency allocates migrants to specific cities and industries based on labor needs. Vince suggests that migrants could initially work in essential sectors, such as green energy or care work, to foster social inclusion and economic contribution. The conversation shifts to food security, where Vince argues that the current food system cannot support the projected population of 10 billion. She advocates for a transition to plant-based diets and alternative proteins like insects, noting that meat production is inefficient and harmful to biodiversity. NUMBER 3 1874 DEPARTING QUEENSTOWN

Since 2023, a series of global AI summits has brought together world leaders to advance international dialogue and cooperation on artificial intelligence. Building on this momentum, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the India AI Impact Summit, which will take place in New Delhi in February 2026. As the first summit in the series to be hosted in a Global South country, the AI Impact Summit aims to amplify Global South perspectives and advance concrete action to address both the opportunities and risks of AI. On December 8, 2025, the CSIS Wadhwani AI Center will host S. Krishnan, Secretary of India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), for a livestreamed fireside chat with Wadhwani AI Center Senior Adviser Gregory C. Allen. Secretary Krishnan, who leads India's national AI strategy, will outline India's policy priorities and share insights into the goals and global aspirations shaping the upcoming AI Impact Summit. He will also offer a comprehensive look at the central role MeitY plays in driving innovation across India's AI ecosystem. Secretary Krishnan brings more than 35 years of experience in public service, having joined the Indian Administrative Service in 1989. Prior to his current role, he served as the Additional Chief Secretary of the Industries, Investment Promotion and Commerce Department in the Government of Tamil Nadu. He has also served as Senior Advisor in the Office of the Executive Director for India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Bhutan at the International Monetary Fund, and has represented India in the G20 Expert Groups on International Financial Architecture and Global Financial Safety Nets. Secretary Krishnan holds a bachelor's degree from St. Stephen's College in Delhi.
Ancien commando marine, Louis Saillans a fondé Askalon Industries pour répondre à un enjeu devenu central : la détection des drones. Sa start-up mise sur l'acoustique et l'intelligence artificielle pour proposer une solution passive, discrète et abordable, pensée avant tout pour les usages civils.Interview : Louis Saillans, cofondateur d'Askalon IndustriesEn quoi consiste votre système anti-drone ?L'équipement que nous avons mis au point repose sur l'acoustique. C'est une technologie ancienne mais qui redevient extrêmement pertinente grâce aux progrès de l'intelligence artificielle. Avec des capteurs acoustiques couplés à des modèles d'IA entraînés en interne chez Askalon Industries, on est capable de détecter tous les drones, quel que soit leur type ou leur mode de guidage. L'équipement que nous avons mis au point embarque sa propre IA et fonctionne de manière autonome, parfois même sans aucune transmission de données, ce qui est essentiel pour des sites sensibles comme les centrales nucléaires. A qui s'adresse cette solution ? Cette approche intéresse des aéroports, des stades, des prisons, des raffineries, des data centers ou encore des sites industriels critiques. L'objectif n'est pas de surveiller, mais de garantir qu'aucun drone ne pénètre dans une zone sans que l'exploitant n'en soit informé, à la manière d'un système de vidéosurveillance, mais sans caméra. Les drones actuels volent lentement, souvent bien en dessous de la vitesse de propagation du son. Résultat : on peut les entendre avant qu'ils n'atteignent une zone sensible. Contrairement aux avions, ils émettent du bruit en permanence. Votre solution permet-elle d'intercepter des drones ? Non. Intercepter un drone, c'est entrer dans le monde des systèmes d'armes, avec toute la réglementation qui va avec. Ce n'est pas notre positionnement. Dans le civil, faire tomber un drone au-dessus d'un stade ou d'un centre-ville crée un risque de dégâts collatéraux évident. Nous faisons le choix de fournir une information fiable et certaine, pour permettre aux exploitants de prendre les bonnes décisions : interruption d'un trafic aérien, sécurisation d'un site, alerte des autorités compétentes. C'est une logique de prévention, pas de destruction.Comment passe-t-on des forces spéciales à l'entreprenariat ?Dans les unités des forces spéciales, on est en permanence dans l'innovation. On teste du matériel, on le pousse dans ses retranchements, on prototype et on fait des retours extrêmement exigeants aux industriels. Cette culture du test en conditions réelles et du “ça doit fonctionner quoi qu'il arrive” m'a beaucoup marqué. L'entrepreneuriat est une continuité naturelle de cet état d'esprit. La différence, c'est que dans une start-up, le stress est moins violent qu'en opération, mais il est quotidien, avec des décisions à prendre tous les jours.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

On parle beaucoup de mode responsable, de relocalisation, de circuits courts, de souveraineté industrielle. Mais derrière les mots, une question demeure — plus concrète, presque embarrassante : reste-t-il encore une industrie textile en France ?Car la mode aime les récits, les images, les manifestes. Elle parle volontiers de valeurs, de storytelling, de désir. Mais elle parle beaucoup moins de filature, de teinture, de tissage, de confection. De machines. De territoires. D'ouvriers. Et pourtant, sans industrie, la mode n'est qu'un discours suspendu dans le vide.Pour cet épisode, Décousu reçoit Olivier Ducatillion, président de l'Union des Industries Textiles. Une voix précieuse, qui observe la mode non depuis les podiums, mais depuis ses fondations matérielles. Ensemble, nous dressons la cartographie d'une filière trop souvent invisible : du champ de lin aux ateliers, des savoir-faire préservés aux maillons disparus, des forces silencieuses aux fragilités structurelles.Impossible, bien sûr, d'éviter le choc Shein. Ce modèle ultrarapide, ultracheap, algorithmique, qui bouscule à la fois l'industrie, la distribution, l'écologie… et notre rapport même au vêtement. Que dit-il de nos failles collectives ? Est-il une anomalie ou le symptôme logique d'un système que nous avons laissé dériver ?Au fil de la conversation, une idée s'impose : le textile n'est pas qu'un enjeu économique. Il est politique, culturel, social. Il parle d'emplois, de territoires, de transmission, mais aussi de souveraineté et de responsabilité collective. Refaire de la France — et de l'Europe — un espace textile crédible : utopie nostalgique ou ambition réaliste ?Bonne écoute, et comme toujours, vos réflexions sont les bienvenues sur Instagram : @decousupodcast

Send us a textBright lights, new studio, same mission: cut through the noise and defend common sense. We kick off with a hard look at surveillance creeping into daily life through Flock cameras, AI plate readers, and jurisdiction-free data sharing that records where you drive and who you pass—often without public consent. If you've ever been told “it's just like your phone,” we unpack why that excuse fails, how these systems bypass warrants, and why local council votes matter more than national headlines when it comes to your privacy.From there, we challenge a toxic media economy that rewards outrage over outcomes. We call out big personalities who trade principles for clicks and conspiracies, turning real risks into fan fiction and eroding public trust. When every tragedy becomes a plot, communities miss the obvious failures that can be fixed, and opponents get the soundbites they need to smear the entire movement. Credibility is a strategy, not a slogan—and we show how to rebuild it.We also dive into the labor market distortions hiding behind buzzwords like “affordability.” Industries reliant on illegal labor depress wages across the board, especially in construction and agriculture, feeding the cost-of-living crisis while claiming “realism.” If you want higher pay and a stronger middle class, you need lawful hiring, strict verification, and real penalties for companies that game the system—especially those on public contracts. That's how affordability becomes more than a talking point.Across all of it, one principle stands out: consent. Surveillance without consent undermines liberty; discourse without standards undermines trust; labor without law undermines prosperity. We lay out concrete steps to fight back locally—demand contract transparency, question data retention, push for public votes, and organize neighbors before these programs harden into permanent infrastructure. If you're ready for results over rhetoric, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs a practical plan, not another hot take.

Alex Modon is CEO and Co-founder of Unlimited Industries, a company transforming infrastructure development through AI-driven automation. Unlimited tackles one of the biggest bottlenecks in climate and industrial innovation: the outdated, risk-averse world of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). Traditional EPCs are often misaligned with the needs of first-of-a-kind projects. Unlimited flips the script by using AI to generate thousands of design permutations, drastically cutting feedback loops, iteration time, and overall cost. Alex shares how his background in software, combined with childhood exposure to industrial environments, inspired him to take on this hard problem—and why he believes the only way to build faster is to rebuild the entire system from the ground up.Episode recorded on July 29 (Published on Dec 3)In this episode, we cover: [03:15] An overview of EPCs[05:05] How EPCs make money[07:06] Why FOAK projects face EPC challenges[10:02] Reducing marginal cost of engineering design with AI[12:35] Alex's pivot from software to infrastructure[15:39] Why EPCs resist adopting AI tools[19:14] Unlimited's capital projects platform explained[23:41] How Unlimited manages physical construction[26:36] The company's vision of fully autonomous construction in the future[28:08] Why physical abundance drives Alex Enjoyed this episode?

What happens inside a transformation program when every decision must withstand scrutiny, every dependency carries weight, and every undocumented rule inside a legacy system can change the outcome of an entire initiative? That was the starting point for my conversation with Adebimpe Ibosiola, a specialist who has spent her career working in regulated industries where nothing is ever as simple as it looks on paper. In a space where leaders often feel pressure to modernize at speed, she argues that the real progress comes from slowing down long enough to understand the truth of the systems, people, and cultures already in place. During the discussion, Adebimpe shared how many organisations walk straight into failure because they begin with visions instead of diagnosis. She explained how hidden logic in old systems, variations in compliance interpretation, and the invisible labour teams carry out daily can derail the best-intentioned roadmap. Her view is that transformation only becomes possible when leaders commit to technical truth-finding and accept that legacy platforms often contain valuable intelligence worth translating rather than discarding. It was eye-opening to hear how she decodes behavioural quirks in systems, aligns teams around shared language, and builds processes where correct behaviour becomes the easiest path. We also spoke about the human journey that accompanies digital change. Adebimpe sees emotional resilience, micro wins, and psychological safety as core components of sustainable progress in any regulated environment. Her approach blends structure with empathy, especially when teams feel pressure from audit requirements or fear of missteps. She also offered powerful reflections on why collaboration is the real competitive advantage for future professionals and how diversity strengthens decision-making in high-stakes environments. This conversation stays with you because it reframes transformation through honesty, clarity, and human understanding rather than slogans or promises of fast fixes. It also highlights an emerging truth. Regulated industries are moving toward a future shaped by people who can translate across technology, regulation, and culture rather than those who see transformation as a tooling exercise. What stood out to you in Adebimpe's perspective? And where do you think regulated organisations should begin if they hope to create change that actually lasts? I would love to hear your thoughts.
