In this episode of Money Mondays, we dive into real-world entrepreneurship, investing, and what college doesn't teach you. David Guttman, serial entrepreneur with both eight- and nine-figure exits, shares how mindset, strategy, and timing shaped his career. Alongside him is Anna Prudchenko, an 18-year-old who skipped the traditional path to build her first company with David's mentorship.---Who is David Guttman?David Guttman is an entrepreneur, investor, and now President and COO of InvestiFi. His journey started humbly, managing a help desk at 24 before discovering the power of equity during his first IPO. That lesson fueled a career that led him to eight- and nine-figure exits and recognition as a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur. A graduate of Brown and Wharton, David's perspective was further shaped by surviving a terminal cancer diagnosis in 1990, an experience that redefined how he approaches both business and life. Today, he channels his experience into mentoring and teaching through The Anti-MBA: What Business School Never Taught Me.Learn More: https://bit.ly/46vct60---Who is Anna Prudchenko?Anna Prudchenko is an 18-year-old entrepreneur and majority owner of a new venture she launched under David's mentorship. Instead of following the traditional college route, she jumped directly into business, learning the ropes of building and scaling a company from the ground up. With a focus on taking bold action over waiting for credentials, Anna is part of a new generation proving that entrepreneurship has no age limit.Click here to order your personalized poster: https://bit.ly/46J08MS---Like this episode?

Is artificial intelligence just another shiny toy for marketers, or is it the key to unlocking true agility and sustainable growth in today's turbulent landscape? Agility requires not only rapid adaptation to change, but also the ability to anticipate future trends and proactively adjust strategies. This means leveraging data and technology, like AI, in ways that empower marketers to make smarter decisions, faster. Today, we're going to talk about how AI-driven consumer intelligence can help marketers navigate the current era of socioeconomic uncertainty and drive meaningful ROI. Many are looking for solutions to evolving challenges, from inflation's impact on consumer behavior and evolving data privacy laws to demonstrating actual ROI and connecting with target audiences. AI presents a powerful opportunity to meet these needs head-on. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Bryan Gernert, CEO at Resonate.

Learn how to capture, create, and convert demand in the AI era If you're still trying to grow your business with traditional funnels and wondering why your capture, create, convert demand strategy isn't working, you're about to discover why those old-school tactics are completely dead. In this episode, I sit down with one of the very few people who actually gets it - Megan Bowen - and we dive deep into the evolution of buyer behavior from the analog buying era all the way through to where we are now in the AI era. We explore why 96% of the buying process now happens before prospects ever talk to your sales team, and Megan breaks down her game-changing framework that's helping B2B companies completely rethink how they approach demand generation. Trust me, you're going to want to have a pen and paper handy for this one because we're going beyond the surface-level funnel nonsense that everyone else is teaching. My guest today is Megan Bowen, CEO of Refine Labs, and she's someone I have tremendous respect for because she actually eats her own pudding. With over 20 years of experience building and scaling go-to-market teams across B2B industries - including companies that achieved IPOs and acquisitions - Megan co-founded Refine Labs in 2020 with a mission to completely change how B2B companies approach their go-to-market strategies. What I love about Megan is that her leadership philosophy isn't some theoretical framework from a business book - it's rooted in real-world experience as an individual contributor, people manager, and executive leader. She understands that without customers, you don't have a business, and she's laser-focused on creating the conditions for long-term relationships and meaningful results.Retry KEY TAKEAWAYS: Volume-based funnel marketing fails because high-intent leads convert at 25% while low-intent leads convert at less than 1% Use "split the funnel analysis" to show the dramatic difference between lead quality and stop wasting budget on low-intent leads By 2030, nearly 100% of buying decisions happen before sales calls, making self-service information critical Put pricing, social proof, and competitive advantages directly on your website to eliminate buyer friction Brand marketing gets you into buyers' "day one consideration set" before they start searching for solutions Dark social is the invisible 6-12 month buying cycle where prospects research before visiting your website Create content that actually solves buyer problems rather than just promoting your services Talk to your customers regularly to understand their evolving needs and grow beyond seven figures Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Buckle up for The Chad & Cheese Podcast, where Joel Cheesman, Chad Sowash, and Maureen Clough dive into HR's wildest waves with their signature no-filter banter! This episode tackles the HR tech consolidation frenzy: Workday's $1.1B Sana acquisition, paired with recent Paradox and Flowise buys, signals a bold AI-driven strategy to streamline everything from sourcing to onboarding with a slick, unified dashboard. It might be Workday's “peanut butter and jelly” integration but execution's the key. Meanwhile, iCIMS grabs Apli (or is it Aptly? Nobody knows! Not sure it matters) for frontline hiring, but it may be a desperate “last girl at the bar” move to keep up in the conversational AI race. The crew also mourns layoffs: Fiverr's 250 job cuts and ZipRecruiter's axing of 80 in Israel, with Chad slamming Zip's post-IPO pivot to a dud chatbot, Phil, and Mo decrying Fiverr's dystopian AI push that kneecaps freelancers. Gen Z's “revenge quitting” and “great lock-in” trends spark debate—Mo and Chad urge caution, while Joel's all “life's tough, kids!” Starbucks' dress code drama (no Crocs, tattoos, or piercings!) ignites a fiery clash: Mo and Chad call it discriminatory nonsense, while Joel insists baristas can just take their hustle to Arby's.

Dave Wright, CEO of Pattern Group (PTRN), discusses the company's IPO and its business. Pattern is an “e-commerce accelerator” that helps brands sell on third-party venues like Amazon (AMZN), Walmart (WMT) and more. “We were getting AI patents before it was interesting,” he says. He discusses Pattern's role as a middleman with major companies – with much of their business going through Amazon, he says they've been a phenomenal partner. He also talks about tariffs and how AI impacted his decision to take the company public.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Andreas Klinger didn't mince words.Europe lacks something every other industry has had for decades:→ Big spending→ Big infrastructure→ Big exitsAnd without them, we can't pretend we're building a sovereign innovation ecosystem.“Europe needs tech innovation to work—because without it, we will never be fully sovereign.”Andreas opened by flipping a common narrative:“Startups are too often framed as small, creative, ambitious companies. But in reality—they're the foundation of sovereignty in tech.”Europe doesn't need more “projects.”It needs repeatable, scalable, founder-first infrastructure to unlock its next wave of global tech companies.“The easiest way to explain EO Inc? It's Deliveroo—but for incorporation. A European legal and operational standard for startups.”The idea is deceptively simple:Standardized formationRecognized structures across all member statesSeamless stock option systemsTaxation only at exitBank acceptance by default“This isn't just for startups. It's a company structure any business can use—built for the modern economy.”And the movement? It's already here:16,000+ signatoriesBacking from founders of Wise, Bold, and countless unicornsSupport from every major VC fund and ecosystem body in EuropeGrowing traction in BrusselsThis wasn't launched by a ministry.It wasn't cooked up by consultants.“EO Inc was built by founders, VCs, and ecosystem people who literally just got together in a WhatsApp group.”The message is clear:You don't need permission. You need momentum.Andreas ended on a blunt but vital point:“If one of my founders did an IPO in Europe right now—I'd sue them.”Why? Because there's no pan-European IPO framework. No deep exit market. And without exits, VC doesn't work.“So please. Someone. Anyone. Get together and fix this.”He wasn't joking.He was inviting.Andreas closed with the same clarity he opened with:“You can just do things.”This wasn't a stage for platitudes—it was a platform for action.So if you know a policymaker, a president, a minister—connect them to EO Inc.And if you care about making European venture work—get involved.Thanks, Andreas—for reminding us that sovereignty isn't just about borders.

Ever fancied hearing Brad Pitt speak flawless Mandarin? That's the kind of trick Synthesia's hyper-realistic video avatars can pull off.The London-based unicorn, which uses generative AI to make videos for corporate training and internal comms, has been a big hit among enterprise users — its customer list includes more than 80% of the Fortune 100, and it hit $100m ARR in April this year.It seems to be a pretty solid business model — and investors certainly like it. But where will the company take its technology next, how safe are its avatars from deepfake misuse and when might it brave an IPO?CEO Victor Riparbelli isn't shy about sharing his views on that front, recently declaring the London Stock Exchange a “complete disaster.”On this week's episode, host Amy and senior reporter Kai Nicol-Schwarz put Synthesia's avatars to the test, dig into its move into agentic AI and ask what, if anything, could go wrong for the AI unicorn.Sign up to our deeptech and AI newsletter here: https://sifted.eu/members/login?newsletter=deeptechTake our listener survey here: https://form.typeform.com/to/WbVxsSv7 (T&Cs apply)

Julie Wainwright’s career (and personal life) is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention, having seen Pets.com collapse on the very same day her marriage ended. On this episode of She Pivots, Julie opens up about the highs of leading companies at the forefront of the dot-com boom, and the devastating lows of reaching a personal professional rock-bottom on the same day. Rather than letting failure define her, she rebuilt from the ground up, ultimately founding The RealReal and taking it public—becoming one of the few women to lead a company she created all the way to IPO. Julie reflects on what it means to move through public scrutiny, personal heartbreak, and professional betrayal, and how each so-called failure became the launchpad for her next chapter. Now, with her latest venture AHARA and her memoir Time to Get Real, she is proving once again that reinvention is not only possible but powerful. Be sure to subscribe, leave us a rating, and share with your friends if you liked this episode!

Ecommerce start-up Jumia was supposed to become the “Amazon of Africa”. Its prospects seemed promising after raising close to $800mn prior to its IPO in 2019 — more than any African start-up. But in the years since, things haven't gone the way investors probably hoped. The FT's west and central Africa correspondent Aanu Adeoye explains Jumia's plans to turn the business around, and what its challenges say about applying western business models in Africa.

Jonathan Corpina previews Powell's press conference after the Fed rate cut decision and how it could move markets. He thinks if his comments spook the market, there could be a “3-4%” pullback over the next few days. “The market is expecting a little more clarity” around the end of the year, but he expects Powell to remain vague. Jonathan also discusses the burgeoning IPO market, which he considers optimistic for the economy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Der KI-Hype ist ungebrochen, aber an der Börse ist etwas Eigenartiges zu beobachten: Viele wichtige KI-Unternehmen sind dort überhaupt nicht gelistet und denken auch gar nicht daran, dies in absehbarer Zukunft zu ändern. Eigentlich geht man als Unternehmen an die Börse, um an frisches Kapital zu gelangen, um frühen Investoren und Mitarbeitern Cash zufließen zu lassen und um öffentliches Interesse zu gewinnen. Das aber ist heute auch ganz ohne ein IPO machbar, denn nie war Private Equity so einflussreich.Die öffentlichen Märkte sind zur Finanzierung nicht mehr nötig, das Kapital konzentriert sich immer weiter.

Jeremy Au, Shiyan Koh, and Dmitry Levit dissect the collapse of eFishery, the breakdown of Indonesia's growth narrative, and the systemic risks that resurface in Southeast Asia's venture ecosystem. They explore how IPO failures and inequality capped consumer demand, why bad faith actors gained visibility, and how boom-era fads like embedded lending and play to earn unraveled. Their discussion highlights how funding has reset to 2016 levels, why board oversight is crucial, and where opportunities in agritech and supply chain digitization still remain. 06:07 Unicorn Religion and Reset: Dmitry explains how the belief in Southeast Asia's consumer population created artificial unicorns, attracted global capital, and birthed a generation of investors dependent on unicorn rounds. With that narrative now broken, funding has reset to 2016 levels. 14:25 Indonesia's Narratives Collapse: Once built on consumer growth and SME digitization, Indonesia's investment stories unraveled after weak IPO results and late-stage funding pullback. This led to the retreat of corporates and VCs, shrinking available capital. 20:14 Redefining the Middle Class: Dmitry critiques World Bank definitions, pointing out that Indonesia's true “digital middle class” is closer to 12–20 million spending users, not 70 million. This smaller but wealthier segment supports realistic billion-dollar outcomes. 23:24 Bad Faith Actors and Fraud: The eFishery scandal highlighted systemic risks in Indonesia's ecosystem. Dmitry frames it as long-standing misaligned incentives—founders chasing salaries or secondaries—surfacing explosively rather than new corruption. 27:18 Embedded Fintech Debate: Jeremy calls out poorly governed lending arms disguised as platform metrics. Dmitry and Shiyan counter that embedded finance, if properly structured, remains one of the most capital-efficient models in Southeast Asia. 30:35 Capital Efficiency Lessons: Dmitry shares research showing the most efficient companies in Southeast Asia were fintech enablers or platforms layering financial services. These delivered 7x–12x returns on invested capital, shaping their core investment thesis. 37:49 Profitable but Overlooked Players: Despite noise about failed IPOs, Dmitry highlights a dozen Southeast Asian companies quietly positioned for billion-dollar exits, already attracting $300–400M investments from North Asia and Latin America.

What happens when the digital economy collides with traditional service industry models? This week, we dive deep into President Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" that unexpectedly includes digital content creators in tax-free tipping benefits. We debate whether streamers and influencers should receive the same treatment as waitstaff and bartenders, exploring how this could reshape creator economics and potentially lead to more aggressive tip solicitation online.The tech absurdity meter hits maximum when we examine Foster City, California's $400,000 solution to their goose poop crisis.

Gemini and Figure Markets both raised significant cash in their IPOs last week, but their subdued trading debuts highlighted a cooler speculative environment compared to Circle's explosive June listing. NLW unpacks what these IPOs signal about crypto market appetite, Bitcoin's September sluggishness ahead of the Fed's rate decision, and why gold and equities could set the stage for Bitcoin's next move. The episode also covers Tether's launch of USAT, a U.S. domestic market stablecoin, and the evolving battle for stablecoin dominance, plus the growing but increasingly muddled wave of corporate crypto treasury companies.

Derek Champagne talks with Jason Ferguson. Jason Ferguson wasn't supposed to make it—not out of his neighborhood, not into a Division I lockerroom, and definitely not to a tech IPO. But he's never followed the script. A former University of Hawai‘i football player, Jason is now a Sales Leader, speaker, coach, and author of Nobody's Legend, a self-help memoirrooted in truth, pain, and resilience.Raised in West Los Angeles, Jason faced violence, loss, and long odds. Football became his escape, and his obsession. Despite being undersized, he earned a full-ride scholarship through grit, vision, and relentless work. But when injuries ended his career, the identity he'd built crumbled, and he spiraled into addiction behindclosed doors. Jason's journey is one of rebuilding. From silence to significance. Today, he's a Director ofSales at ServiceTitan, where he helped scale the company through its hypergrowth years and successful IPO. He also coaches early-stage tech founders, helping them build high-performing revenue teams and sustainable growth strategies—grounded not in theory, but lived experience.Jason speaks on emotional intelligence, mental resilience, and transforming adversity into advantage, bringing unfiltered truth to audiences ranging from students to C-suite leaders.Nobody's Legend isn't just a memoir. It's a raw, unapologetic roadmap through chaos, self-destruction, and the long climb back to purpose. Told with unfiltered honesty and cinematic detail, this is the true story of a former D1 athlete who lost it all—football, identity, family, self-worth—and still found a way to rebuild from rock bottom.Jason Ferguson takes you inside the mind of an addict mid-withdrawal, a teenager chasing dreams in the unforgiving streets of L.A., and a grown man staring down the voice in his head telling him he's not enough. What unfolds isn't a comeback story. It's a reintroduction to who he was always meant to be.This book goes beyond motivation. It's about the war between your ears—the lies you believe, the doubts you feed, and the habits that either bury you or build you. Whether it's walking into a sales job in an oversized suit with nothing to lose or running sprints up a sand dune at 4 AM chasing a vision no one else could see, Nobody'sLegend reminds you that your pain isn't proof you're broken. It's proof you're not done yet.It's about mindset. It's about radical accountability. It's about getting hit and getting back up with youridentity intact. And most of all, it's about reminding every underdog, former screw-up, or misunderstood soul outthere that you don't have to be famous to be legendary.Order a copy of Nobody's Legend: https://jfinspires.com/book/Business Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576
