What if everything you've been taught about consciousness is backwards? In this mind-expanding conversation, Raj sits down with Mark Gober—Princeton graduate, former Silicon Valley strategy partner, and author of seven groundbreaking books—who went from hardcore materialist to consciousness researcher after discovering peer-reviewed scientific evidence that completely shattered his worldview. Mark has spent nearly a decade diving deep into the research that mainstream science doesn't want you to see, and what he's uncovered about the nature of reality, consciousness, and your soul's role in designing your life will leave you questioning everything.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why Nobel Prize-winning physicists believe consciousness is fundamental and matter is just a derivative—and what this means for how you experience reality• The University of Virginia's 2,500+ documented cases of children remembering past lives, complete with birthmarks that match historical death records (and why this changes everything about medicine)• How your brain functions more like a radio antenna receiving signals than a computer generating thoughts—and how to tune into higher intelligence• The specific body sensations that signal when you're in alignment versus living a lie (and why ignoring these signals literally makes you sick)• Why the beliefs you inherited from family, school, and society might be keeping you trapped in someone else's reality—and how to identify what's actually yours• The difference between intuition, channeling, and psychic phenomena (plus how to distinguish between fear and genuine inner knowing)• Mark's "falsification method" for questioning any belief system without needing to have all the answers—a skill that could save you years of living someone else's truth• How to practice "holding the gold"—why rushing to share insights before they're fully integrated actually waters down your deepest wisdomThis isn't just another consciousness conversation—it's a scientifically-backed roadmap for recognizing that your soul chose this exact life experience, and how to live in alignment with that deeper intelligence. If you've ever felt like reality is more mysterious than we're taught, or if you've had experiences that don't fit the mainstream worldview, this episode will give you both the permission and the scientific foundation to trust what you already know deep down.

Welcome to another powerful episode of Pitch Cafe Podcast!

In this compelling episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by David Espindola, a futurist and strategic advisor with deep expertise in technology, AI, and leadership. As the author of The Exponential Era and Soulful, Espindola brings a unique lens to the conversation—one that blends exponential technology insight with a deep understanding of human-centered leadership. His background, which spans Silicon Valley startups and CIO roles, grounds his perspective in both vision and practicality.Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is no longer just a functional tool—it's a force that's reshaping how organizations operate and how leaders must lead. Espindola challenges the outdated mental models that many executives still rely on and explains why thinking exponentially—not linearly—is now a leadership imperative. The speed of change, he argues, requires not just faster decision-making, but a fundamental rewiring of strategic planning itself.Beyond urgency, the conversation offers a thoughtful framework for action. Espindola urges leaders to see AI not as a threat, but as a collaborator—a sparring partner that, when used well, can expand creativity, sharpen insight, and unlock new value. At the same time, he issues a warning about over-delegating thought and judgment to machines. The leaders who thrive, he says, will be those who bring a uniquely human edge to this new era.The episode also dives into the qualities that will define great leadership in an AI-powered world—empathy, intrinsic motivation, and adaptability. Espindola makes the case for “soulful strategy”—an approach rooted not just in efficiency but in meaning and trust. For CEOs, board members, and senior leaders rethinking their relevance and impact in a fast-moving world, this episode delivers timely insights and a powerful call to lead differently.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why most strategic plans are outdated before they're even executed—and what kind of strategic thinking leaders need insteadHear how to shift from using AI as an assistant to engaging it as a thought partner that challenges and elevates your ideasDiscover why exponential change breaks traditional leadership models—and how to respond without falling behindHear why the ability to ask good questions is becoming more valuable than having the right answersLearn how AI is disrupting entry-level pathways—and what that means for how leaders must develop talentExplore why AI can mimic empathy, but trust and meaning still require human leadershipHear how leaders can design organizations that adapt, experiment, and continuously learnLearn how ungoverned AI usage across your organization may already be exposing you to riskDiscover why AI must move from a tech issue to a board-level strategy conversationHear why talking to your frontline may be the most important move for understanding how AI is already shaping your businessConnect with David EspindolaDavid Espindola Website David Espindola LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Missiles flew, uranium vanished, and Trump live-tweeted like a war correspondent with zero chill. Iran launched a “just-for-show” missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar—after giving everyone a heads-up. Meanwhile, reports suggest they moved their bomb-grade uranium before we even dropped a single bomb. Are we in a war or just a very dramatic tech rehearsal? Plus, AOC calls Trump's strikes an impeachable offense, and Silicon Valley execs are literally putting on boots (sort of) for the Army. The headlines are unhinged—we've got jokes, hot takes, and a final zinger for each.

If you've been intrigued by all the benefits that intermittent fasting claims to offer, you are not alone, and this week's podcast episode is for you. I'm joined by a special — and beloved (so you've told me) returning guest — my husband, Jeb!Jeb gives his own thoughts on the research behind intermittent fasting, his personal experience with addiction and how it reflects some of the same behaviors, and provides the comic relief, as he likes to say. Though I am clearly the funnier of the two of us. I also talk about how fasting showed up in my own disordered relationship with food, even though I never intentionally followed a time-restricted diet.Some of the things we discuss include...* The origins of intermittent fasting* Different types of fasting protocols* Why intermittent fasting proponents claim it's “not a diet”* Intermittent fasting's connection to Silicon Valley, body optimization, and biohacking* What the research says about intermittent fasting's claims to better health, increased productivity, mastering glucose levels, mental clarity, and more* Whether IF has any long-term health benefits* The emotional and mental impact of intermittent fasting, including on your relationship with food* Physical health implications of fasting* Intermittent fasting's connection with disordered eating behaviors* Where do we go from here if we're still intrigued?Enjoying this podcast?

You know what they say — Silicon Valley wasn't built in a day, nor was it built by just a small group of tech gurus. In fact, the origin story of the Valley is a complex story involving government, industry, and academia.Margaret O'Mara is a history professor at the University of Washington. Her latest book, The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America gives an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the tech empire, and how it's grown into an economic engine. Margaret and Greg discuss the significant role the government played in the early days of Silicon Valley, key historical figures in the region's rise to prominence and factors that set it apart from other tech hubs like Boston, and how the ecosystem has evolved alongside politics, technology, and cultural shifts. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How storytelling built Silicon Valley's legacy31:59: I think there's the story of the products, and then there's the story of the place, the story of the guys in garages. The story of this entrepreneurial genius, and that's a great, great story. It's part of the story. It leaves out this bigger landscape of government and society and people who are non-technical people, the Regis McKenna's of the world, who are so instrumental in making all this happen. But it's—I mean, I know as a historian—storytelling is powerful. That's how you help people understand and relate. And so Silicon Valley has been such a good storyteller.Why everyone should understand tech history04:27: It's really important for all of us as users of this technology to have a way to understand it and understand its history. Even if we don't know, even if we aren't programmers ourselves.Meritocracy alone hasn't changed the face of power53:16: We're seeing the people at the very, very top of power and influence are more homogenous than ever, which is showing that this meritocracy, this idea, just doesn't—only goes so far. So understanding the history kind of helps, I think, is really important in kind of getting why. Okay, why has this not changed? Why is this so baked into the model? But it also doesn't mean that we should just throw up our hands and say, well, this is the way it is.Federal research grants built founders not just labs11:57: Research money for universities is not only seeding basic research in labs and then seeding spinoff companies and commercializing technologies from those labs, but it's also educating people. When you look, kind of dollar for dollar, about, you know—when you look at Stanford, for example, if you just look at the tech space—I think biotech is different. Medical sciences are different because you have more of that kind of pipeline from lab to startup in that space. But when you're looking at computer hardware and software, it's more about the people that went to Stanford that went on to found companies, right? Everyone from Hewlett and Packard to Brin and Page and everyone in between. That is, it's kind of a people factory, so that's part of it. And that federal money is paying for people for science and engineering programs. So that's a really important component.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Frederick TermanVannevar BushRegional Advantage: Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 by AnnaLee SaxenianRobert NoyceBurt McMurtryTerry WinogradBill DraperPitch JohnsonRegis McKennaWilson Sonsini Goodrich & RosatiGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of WashingtonProfessional WebsiteGuest Work:The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America

I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with a visionary leader whose work is reshaping healthcare innovation—Vic Gatto. Vic is the driving force behind Elevate Health 2050, a bold initiative exploring the transformative potential of Web3, AI, and biotech to redefine healthcare's future, with a special focus on accessibility and impact—areas that touch the lives of women and children every day. Before this, Vic carved his path as the founder and Managing General Partner of Jumpstart Capital, where he's invested in over 200 early-stage healthcare startups, proving that innovation thrives beyond Silicon Valley's shadow, right here in Middle America. Vic's journey began with a Bachelor of Arts from Amherst College, giving him a broad foundation, followed by a Master of Business Administration from Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management, equipping him with the strategic insight to navigate the complex world of venture capital. His entrepreneurial roots trace back to the 1990s, when he co-founded a software company in Boston, growing it from a small team to over 250 employees before selling it—a testament to his ability to build from the ground up. But Vic's story isn't just about credentials or exits; it's about a man who sees healthcare as a mission, not just a market. With Elevate Health 2050, he's pushing boundaries to ensure that the next generation—our women and children—benefits from cutting-edge solutions tailored to their needs. Today, we'll explore how his vision bridges technology and human health, and what it means for families everywhere. So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let's welcome Vic Gatto to the show. Enjoy, Dr. M

Ten Eleven Ventures CTO and Operating Partner Scott Lundgren shares practical advice for early-stage cybersecurity founders. He explains why founder-market fit matters more than product polish, how teams should think about TAM in fragmented markets, and the signals he looks for in technical pitches. He also breaks down how Ten Eleven's network helps with diligence and customer development — and why “cool tech” often misses the mark. Plus: his take on the AI hype cycle, and why building credibility starts with listening, not pitching. RUNTIME 38:06 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:37) How founding an ISP as a teenager led Scott to a career in tech. (6:06) Why he decided to join Ten Eleven Ventures as CTO/operating partner. (9:53) Scott breaks down the essential elements of a cybersecurity pitch. (14:31) Inexperienced founders, “as a general rule, have no idea about the TAM.”  (17:21) On AI hype: “ I'd like to see some more rigor with how we feel like we can start to quantify some of the benefits.” (20:20) Having a global network of security professionals is “ a really great resource for us as a firm, but also for our founders.” (21:51) Lessons learned from being on Carbon Black's founding team. (23:59) “ You need both of these things that are intertwined: the luck, and the the hard work.” (26:08) Do customer discovery face-to-face, not over Zoom. “It isn't always productive, but there's no substitute for it.” (30:57) Developing and promoting a startup mindset outside of Silicon Valley. (35:30) “ If you build really cool tech to solve a pretty simple problem, then that probably was over-engineered.” (36:11) How to build investor and future customer relationships — when you still have a job.

Charles Gorintin est le cofondateur d'Alan, le partenaire santé nouvelle génération.Après des études à l'École nationale des ponts et chaussées, à l'École normale supérieure et à l'université de Berkeley, il entame sa carrière dans la Silicon Valley, près de San Francisco.Data scientist chez Facebook, Instagram puis Twitter, il y a notamment dirigé la lutte contre les bots et les faux profils.En 2016, il revient en France pour cofonder Alan aux côtés de son ancien camarade Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve, qui avait déjà créé puis revendu une entreprise dans l'aéronautique.À l'époque, aucune assurance n'avait été créée en France depuis 30 ans, et beaucoup leur prédisaient l'échec.Qu'à cela ne tienne, ils lèvent des fonds et recrutent une équipe de 8 personnes.Six mois plus tard, ils obtiennent l'agrément leur permettant de commercialiser des complémentaires santé.Charles et Jean-Charles s'appuient sur la réglementation comme un cadre pour innover, tout en remettant en question certaines règles qu'ils jugent dépassées ou incohérentes.Petit à petit, ils se font une place dans un secteur jusque-là figé.Pour y parvenir, ils internalisent tous les métiers de l'assurance, de la gestion du risque au traitement des sinistres en passant par la distribution, sans intermédiaires ni courtiers.Alan propose également des services de santé directs via une clinique virtuelle et un assistant médical augmenté par l'IA, tout en incitant ses membres à pratiquer du sport pour rester en bonne santé.Aujourd'hui, Alan compte 700 000 adhérents issus de 30 000 entreprises réparties en France, en Espagne, en Belgique et au Canada.Dès le début, Charles Gorintin fait le choix d'internaliser toute la technologie.En 2022, Alan opère un tournant stratégique et mise sur l'intelligence artificielle.Mais Charles réalise vite que toutes les briques utilisées viennent d'OpenAI.Pour créer une alternative européenne, Alan décide alors de développer son propre modèle d'IA générative.Charles mène une stratégie ambitieuse : lever des fonds et s'entourer des meilleurs talents, dont Arthur Mensch, Guillaume Lample et Timothée Lacroix.En 2023, ils fondent ensemble Mistral AI.En quelques mois, le succès est au rendez-vous.Bonne écoute !===========================

Yes, there still are some well meaning folks in Silicon Valley. Take, for example, Jimmy Chen, founder and CEO of Propel, an app designed to simplify food assistance for 41 million of the poorest Americans. Growing up food insecure himself, the Stanford educated Chen left lucrative jobs at Facebook and LinkedIn to build technology that actually serves those who need it most, proving that some Valley entrepreneurs are driven by social rather than financial ambition. Propel replaces the outdated 1-800 number system that food stamp recipients previously had to use to check their benefits, while connecting users to additional online resources and discounts. Chen's story challenges the conventional narrative that all tech founders are solely profit-motivated, and demonstrates how growing up in poverty can fuel mission-driven entrepreneurship. Five Key Takeaways1. Silicon Valley's Echo Chamber Problem Tech companies typically build for people like themselves - affluent, educated users - because founders solve problems they personally understand. This explains why so many startups focus on convenience for the already-comfortable rather than addressing real needs of vulnerable populations.2. Personal Experience Drives Authentic Mission Jimmy Chen's childhood food insecurity, including watching his father skip meals to ensure his children could eat, directly shaped his motivation to build technology for low-income families. This personal connection distinguishes mission-driven entrepreneurs from those simply claiming social impact.3. The For-Profit vs. Nonprofit Debate Chen argues that sustainable social impact requires a viable business model, not just philanthropic funding. Propel generates revenue by connecting users to vetted financial services and discounts, proving that companies can be profitable while serving society's most vulnerable.4. Technology Infrastructure Failures Hit the Poor Hardest Food stamp recipients still rely on outdated systems like calling 1-800 numbers to check balances, while criminals exploit antiquated magnetic stripe EBT cards through skimming schemes. These technological gaps disproportionately harm those who can least afford it.5. Scale Reveals Impact Potential With 41 million Americans receiving food assistance and Propel serving 5 million monthly users, Chen argues that technology solutions for underserved populations can achieve massive scale while creating genuine social good - challenging the current pessimism about “profitable” social enterprises.Jimmy Chen is the founder and CEO of Propel, an app used by over 5 million low-income households to manage their government benefits. Propel has over 500,000 five-star reviews and has been recognized by the White House, and Propel's investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, JPMorganChase, Kevin Durant, and Serena Williams. In addition to his work at Propel, Jimmy serves on the boards of Share Our Strength, a national anti-hunger nonprofit, and TechNYC, a nonprofit coalition focused on the technology industry in New York. Jimmy holds a B.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University, where he was an inaugural winner of the President's Award for the Advancement of the Common Good in 2022. This is a public episode.

OpenAI recently announced a $200 million deal with the U.S. Department of Defense, which has us wondering: Could this further strain the company's relationship with its biggest backer, Microsoft? After all, there have been numerous reports about growing tensions between the two companies, particularly as they become more competitive over enterprise deals. Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Anthony Ha and Max Zeff discuss how the OpenAI/DoD deal reflects Silicon Valley's increasingly cozy relationship with the military and why industry leaders are calling for an AI “arms race.” Listen to the full episode to hear more highlights from the week, including: Whether it's a good thing that Vice President JD Vance joined Bluesky (and was briefly suspended) What it means that Wix acquired a six-month-old “vibe coding” startup for $80 million (and why Anthony hates the phrase “vibe coding”) A panel in which investor Ali Partovi and Cognition President Russell Kaplan discuss what technical talent means in the age of AI Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!

David Waldman is back on the air again, LIVE! Greg Dworkin returns, with mega polls! No, not Trump's high poles, but Trump's low polls, along with the latest takeaways from the KITM World Headquarters Primaries… well, Virginia primaries, same difference. Will TikTok TACO Trump chicken out with Iran? We're talking about millions of actual lives here... so maybe not. MAGA thought they opposed such things as “forever wars”, but they'll get over it, like their opposition to Russia. It's easy to do when you think about it, and even easier when you don't. You'd think that making conspiracy theorists put up or shut up would put them in some sort of bind, but these are a spunky and resilient group of whackadoodles. Confronted with a tragically factual Christian nationalist assassin, they expeditiously took reality lemons and turned them into MAGA lemonade. Chinese license plates and thousands of cards stole the 2020 election for Bernie Sanders. Not many people know that. Donald K. Trump is objectively bad for America. Journalists are hesitant to point that out, lest their network soapboxes be turned into real ones. Still, with protests, it pays to not give MAGA a seed of truth to roll their dung around. Nonviolence is the way. Then later, we'll impeach the bastard, maybe this term, maybe his third or fourth. Four execs from the top tech companies in Silicon Valley have joined the Army Reserve but probably won't be putting boots down in Isfahan soon or even in the next two weeks. They were of course invited because of their special technological genius. NYC tycoons are saying “There goes the neighborhood” if Zohran Mamdani moves in.

Amjad Masad (@amasad), founder and CEO of Replit, and Yohei Nakajima (@yoheinakajima), Managing Partner at Untapped Capital, joined Village Global partner Ben Casnocha for a live masterclass with Village Global founders.Takeaways:AI agents are rapidly evolving, with coding and deep research agents showing the most traction today. But general-purpose assistants are still brittle — trip-planning and high-context tasks remain hard.Replit Agent shows how quickly full-stack applications can be built today, sometimes in under an hour — even by non-technical users. What matters most isn't a CS degree, it's traits like curiosity, grit, and systems thinking.Many AI startups are too quick to claim “moats” when most don't really have one. True defensibility requires deep domain insight, unique data, and the right founder traits.The rise of vertical AI agents is compelling — specialists outperform general agents for now. A real AGI will change everything, and it's so disruptive it's not even worth planning around.The best investors still look for timeless traits: hard-charging, resourceful founders, attacking stagnant industries. AI changes a lot — but not what makes a great early-stage team.Tools like Replit are making vibe coding (yes, even for non-coders) a superpower. From executive dashboards to lightweight Crunchbase clones, agents are already creating real enterprise value.Don't over-engineer AI use cases. Start with internal tools or things you've always wanted to build. The best projects often come from personal curiosity and side projects.Resources mentioned:Replit – The coding platform behind Replit Agent, enabling fast full-stack app creation with AIVCpedia by Yohei Nakajima – A startup intelligence platform vibe-coded with Replit AgentTweet: $150k → $400 NetSuite extension – Real-world example of arbitrage using ReplitTED Talk on Grit by Angela Duckworth – Referenced by Amjad as a key trait for AI builders“Perfectionism” blog post by Amjad Masad – Why it holds builders back and how to overcome itSeven Powers by Hamilton Helmer – The strategy book Amjad calls the best resource on real moatsNEO – A fully autonomous ML engineerLayers – An autonomous AI marketing agent that lives in your IDEBasis – A vertical AI agent for accounting firmsNDEA – A new lab (founded by François Chollet & Mike Knoop) exploring AGI with program synthesisThanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

Lina Khan has inspired an unusually bipartisan coalition of allies — and antagonists. As chair of the Federal Trade Commission, she became known as the most hated regulator on Wall Street. As too principled for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Too bold for Ticketmaster and the NCAA. But Khan isn't done taking on the corporate class — or finding strange bedfellows like Steve Bannon and Michael Jordan. Can her alleged "hipster anti-trust" movement inspire a "standing army" for the people? And could she be our next Supreme Court justice? Learn more about your ad choices.
