This week's episode is extra special because it's the first one I'm recording from Spain. Yes - we packed up our family of six and moved across the world to Estepona to live and “worldschool” through this incredible program called Boundless Life.If you've followed me for a while, you know this wasn't random. Living abroad with Alex and the kids has been on my vision board for years. I even wrote down on January 1st - one week before the Palisades fires - “I want to worldschool the kids.”Nine months later, here we are!In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of our first full week in Spain: the beauty, the chaos, the funny moments, and a powerful lesson in manifesting your dream life.Here's what we dive into:

In today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with returning guest Jason Moore, CEO and founder of Spren (formerly Elite HRV.) Jason shares the journey of his company's cutting-edge technology, which transforms any smartphone into an advanced biomarker and body composition analysis tool. With over a million users and thousands of coaches trained, Spren's platform is accelerating how gyms, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts track results and stay motivated. Pete and Jason dive into the evolution of Spren's technology, lessons learned from the pandemic, and how partnerships with industry leaders like Fitness On Demand are reshaping the member experience across more than a thousand gyms. Jason also pulls back the curtain on the powerful data trends Spren has uncovered, including what truly drives lasting health changes among gym members—and why focusing on muscle may be the key to long-term success. Whether you're a club operator, coach, or just passionate about fitness technology, this episode is a candid look at where health and wellness measurement is headed, how to engage members both inside and outside the gym, and the grit it takes to keep innovating in the HALO sector.  In discussions surrounding tech, there's always the question of data. On that Jason states, "Ultimately the member owns their data . . . that's how we think of it. Like you Pete, or whoever's listening, you own your own data, you can delete it all or take it with you. There's a big trend towards data portability." Key themes discussed Evolution of Spren's body composition technology. Integration with Fitness on Demand and gyms. Seamless, phone-based body measurement solutions. Learnings from SDK/API versus turnkey offerings. Role of data and biomarkers in fitness journeys. Member engagement and personalized coaching tools. Trends in gym programming and equipment preferences. 1. Spren's Technological Evolution: Spren has transitioned from a prototype-focused company to delivering a full-fledged, scalable product. Their tech uses just a phone camera to provide accurate body composition analysis comparable to a DEXA scan. Over the last two years, they've moved towards offering turnkey solutions that require no IT or development resources, making implementation easier for fitness operators of all sizes. 2. Strategic Partnerships & Expansion: Spren has formed partnerships with major fitness platforms like Fitness on Demand, enabling rollouts across over a thousand gyms. These collaborations let gyms effortlessly integrate body composition tracking and personalized coaching for members, meeting the growing demand for accountability and measurable wellness outcomes. 3. Market Learnings & Business Model Shift: Jason shared that initially, Spren focused on offering their technology as an SDK/API for other tech teams to integrate. However, long implementation timelines and the complexity of custom integrations led them to shift toward simple, self-contained solutions that appeal directly to operators and members—and the market has responded positively to this shift. 4. Holistic Data & User Experience: Spren not only tracks body fat and muscle composition but also integrates data from blood labs and wearables to provide a more comprehensive view of a member's health. The company emphasizes user privacy and data ownership, and keeps the member in control of their own data, with growing features for research and cross-platform health data portability. 5. Industry Trends and Actionable Insights: One of the biggest insights from Spren's dataset is that consistent gym-goers and those who work with qualified coaches show significantly better health outcomes. Also, members who focus on muscle building and preservation, not just fat loss, enjoy better long-term outcomes. Jason also noted a shift in club operators showing a greater willingness to pay for high-impact technology that enhances retention and member results, acknowledging that wellness tech can be an investment rather than just an expense.

Fructose-Intoleranz, Carboloading, Recovery-Hacks und die Wahrheit über Supplements: Mit Roger Milenk (Squeezy) geht's um smarte Ernährung im Radsport – und meine eigenen Learnings aus der Praxis. Immer mehr Kohlenhydrate im Radsport – 120g, 150g, ja sogar 300g pro Stunde werden empfohlen. Doch ist das wirklich sinnvoll oder geht die Entwicklung in die völlig falsche Richtung? In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Roger Milenk, Inhaber von Squeezy Nutrition, über das Spannungsfeld zwischen Kohlenhydraten (Carbs), Fructose, Glucose, Darmverträglichkeit, Ultra-Strategien und meinen persönlichen Learnings in Sachen Ernährung & Supplements.

MINSETFOLGE In dieser persönlichen Folge reflektiere ich über die erste Jahreshälfte und gebe euch Einblick in meine größten Learnings als Unternehmerin der letzten 8 Monate. Ich spreche über Teamzuwachs, neue Routinen, kreative Sehnsucht – und darüber, wie wichtig es ist, Klarheit im Business-Alltag zu gewinnen. Eine Folge über Wachstum, Verantwortung und das bewusste Loslassen.

ZUM INHALT Ohne die Führungskräfte in der Linie hat EHS vor Ort kaum eine Chance, wirksam zu werden. Sie sind die Leuchttürme der Alltagspraxis. Nur sie können sicherstellen, dass Schutz- und Sicherheitsregeln in der täglichen Routine "überleben". Mit Dominik Graner spreche ich darüber, wie ein unternehmensweites Kultur- und Werteprojekt EHS aus der Ecke holt und die Brücke in die Führungspraxis schlägt. Er konnte über HR und die Personalentwicklung direkt mit Führungskräften arbeiten, Vertrauen aufbauen und seine Rolle als EHS-Manager entscheidend ausweiten. Anhand konkreter Erfahrungen zeigt er, – welche Trainingsinhalte bei Führungskräften wirklich wirken, – wie er als Fachkraft seinen Beitrag Schritt für Schritt ausbauen konnte und – welche persönlichen Learnings ihm helfen, Arbeitssicherheit sichtbarer und wirksamer zu machen.

Hier findest Du die Shownotes / Links zur heutigen Episode: In dieser spannenden Episode tauchen wir tief in die Welt der Künstlichen Intelligenz in der Zahnmedizin ein! Unser Gast ist Dr. Kim Kubiack, Zahnärztin, Gründerin, Mutter von Zwillingen und CEO von Dental Twin. Sie hat ihre eigene Praxis aufgebaut, Unternehmen gegründet und bringt jetzt KI in deinen Praxisalltag – und zwar so, dass Zahnärztinnen und Zahnärzte wirklich entlastet werden. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Kim diesen mutigen Weg gegangen ist und welche Herausforderungen sie als Frau in einer männerdominierten Branche gemeistert hat. Vor allem aber erfährst du, wie KI deinen Praxisalltag revolutionieren kann und warum das Thema Mindset dabei so entscheidend ist. Kim teilt ihre ganz persönlichen Learnings aus ihrer Reise – von den Anfängen des "Machine Learnings" vor 15 Jahren bis zur Gründung ihres Raketen-Start-ups DentalTwin, das in den letzten anderthalb Jahren von einem auf über 20 feste Mitarbeiter gewachsen ist. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse: - KI entlastet dein Praxisteam massiv: Dental Twin automatisiert zeitintensive Aufgaben wie das Erstellen von Provisorien. Das spart dir und deinen Mitarbeiterinnen jede Menge Arbeitszeit und Nerven. Zahnersatz neu denken mit generativer KI: Dank Dental Twin werden komplette Kieferabschnitte und verlorene Zähne KI-basiert rekonstruiert – das vereinfacht komplexe prothetische Fälle enorm und spart dir zahlreiche manuelle Schritte. - Mut zum Risiko: Kim Kubiack hat ihre etablierte Praxis für ihr KI-Startup aufgegeben: Kims Geschichte zeigt, dass der Sprung ins Startup-Leben extrem herausfordernd ist, aber mit Leidenschaft und Überzeugung zu revolutionären Lösungen führen kann. - Dein Mindset entscheidet über die KI-Zukunft deiner Praxis: Wer heute noch keinen Intra-Oral-Scanner nutzt, verpasst den Anschluss an die digitale Zahnmedizin. Die Basis für KI-Lösungen ist eine digitale Arbeitsweise und die Bereitschaft zur Veränderung. - Der Patient von morgen wählt die digitale Praxis: Zukünftig werden Patienten Praxen bevorzugen, die dank KI schnellere, effizientere und qualitativ hochwertigere Behandlungen anbieten können. Visionen wie KI-Roboter und Augmented Reality sind näher, als du denkst.

Tell us what you think of the show! This summer, key stakeholders across the state of California teamed up for a first-of-its-kind, coordinated test of virtual power plant (or VPP) capabilities. Thousands of systems dispatched a whopping 535 megawatts and reduced net load during the evening peak in a successful demonstration of the potential impact that distributed energy resources can have.On this episode of the podcast, Factor This host Paul Gerke welcomes Kendrick Li, who handles demand response for Pacific Gas and Electric Company, one of the three California utilities that teamed up for the massive VPP test. Their conversation starts at the 101 level, then gets deep into the weeds on how these systems work, how they might be deployed, and the roadblocks to larger customer adoption.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

In this no-bullshido episode of Hoots on the Ground, host Adam Hoots reconnects with Jesse “Chuy” Hernandez—the plumber's son turned foreman, GC leader, consultant, author, and unapologetic “selfish servant.” Jesse shares his journey from apprentice to industry thought leader, tying sobriety, service, and Lean thinking together. He breaks down his three leadership lessons—zoom level, time horizon, and lingo—and shows how those same gaps cause project failures. Adam and Jesse also tackle problem-solving, the power of listening with eyes and ears, the myth of the “indispensable superintendent,” and why sometimes the fastest fix is deciding something isn't a problem. They preview the upcoming LCI Congress, scheduled for October 20-24, 2025, in Arlington, Texas, including Jesse's “Sweat Equity Improvement” workshop, and close with his next mission: training for a full Ironman to prove ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Key takeaways include: ·        Leadership maturity evolves through zoom level, time horizon, and lingo — meet people where they are, not where you want them to be. ·        The fastest way to solve a problem? Decide it's not a problem — and focus on the ones that truly matter. ·        Lean isn't about efficiency—it's about building people's problem-solving capabilities through improving work. ·        Listening with your eyes and ears is the highest-leverage technology in construction; forget the dashboards, pay attention to people.

In this episode of the Canary Cast, Florian Hagenbuch, Co-Founder and General partner at Canary, sits down with Jose Gedeon, co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a Colombian fintech building the real-time B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure powering finance teams across Latin America. From his early fascination with M-Pesa’s case at the University of Pennsylvania, to failed attempts at building his own mobile money business in Colombia, a stint as a consultant at McKinsey New York, and a role at Oyo in Mexico, José shares how each chapter of his journey shaped the vision for Cobre. What started as white-label wallets for meal vouchers during the pandemic evolved into Colombia’s leading real-time B2B payments platform, now expanding rapidly into Mexico and cross-border flows. During the episode, José reflects on the unique challenges of scaling a fintech in LatAm, the pivotal customer moments that unlocked entirely new business lines, and the ambition of turning Cobre into the default infrastructure for payments across the region. In this episode, we dive into: From White-Label Wallets to Infrastructure: How Cobre pivoted from building digital wallets for meal vouchers into real-time B2B payments and treasury management. Cross-Border Breakthroughs: The customer emergency that sparked Cobre’s cross-border product and how it led to a new revenue line. The Role of Stablecoins: Why stablecoins are becoming increasingly relevant in illiquid or high-cost currency corridors like Colombia, Turkey, and Argentina. Scaling in Mexico: How Cobre reached $100M in monthly volume in only 8 months in Mexico—10x faster than in Colombia. Vision for the Future: Why Jose believes it’s still “day zero” for Cobre and how the company aims to become the de facto B2B payment infrastructure for LatAm. Founder Lessons: Biggest mistakes, wins, and the cultural values that define the Cobre team. Whether you’re a founder, operator, or fintech enthusiast, this episode offers a masterclass in product pivots, client-focused culture, scaling infrastructure in emerging markets, and building with ambition in one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Tune in to hear how Cobre is not only modernizing payments in Colombia and Mexico, but also shaping the future of financial infrastructure across Latin America. Guest: Jose GedeonJose is the co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a fintech modernizing B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure in Latin America. Cobre moves billions annually, already processing ~3% of Colombia’s GDP, and recently raised its Series B led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Canary and other global investors.

Read, Write, Own by Chris DixonTranscrição do Episódio em Português: Hoje, estamos movimentando cerca de 3% do PIB da Colômbia dentro da Cobre.É um número muito grande.Mas, ao mesmo tempo, também é pequeno.Copo meio cheio, copo meio vazio.Isso nos dá bastante espaço para crescer. Agora, mudando para o inglês, para facilitar um pouco para você.José, muito obrigado por estar aqui. Agradeço por dedicar seu tempo. Estou muito animado para conversar com você. Como contexto, o José é cofundador e CEO da Cobre, uma fintech colombiana que está se expandindo para o México. Vocês rapidamente se tornaram uma das principais plataformas de pagamentos B2B em tempo real e de gestão de tesouraria corporativa na Colômbia — e, em breve, também no México. Sob sua liderança, muitas coisas empolgantes aconteceram. Vocês já escalam para centenas de empresas nesses dois países. Estão movimentando algo em torno de 18 bilhões em volume anual em folha de pagamento e pagamentos a fornecedores.E, o mais importante, estão se tornando uma camada crítica de infraestrutura para times financeiros modernos na região. Estou muito animado com este episódio, em mergulhar na sua jornada empreendedora, José, como a Cobre está modernizando os pagamentos corporativos, o cenário fintech na América Latina de forma mais ampla e, claro, a visão que você tem para o futuro da companhia. José, obrigado por se juntar a nós. É um prazer enorme ter você aqui hoje. José:Florian, o prazer é meu. A Canary foi a primeira firma de venture capital que acreditou na Cobre — e também o primeiro investimento de vocês fora do Brasil. Na época, nós até dissemos ao Marcos que expandiríamos para o Brasil… ainda não aconteceu.Mas tem sido uma ótima história até aqui, e vocês têm sido apoiadores incríveis. Obrigado. Florian:Sim, lembro bem disso. Inclusive, naquela época vocês tinham outro nome, não era? Acho que era “Pexto”, se não me engano.As coisas mudam, mas estamos felizes que deu certo. José, talvez possamos começar um pouco falando do seu histórico e da sua trajetória pessoal. Pode nos contar sobre sua origem e o que você fazia antes de empreender? José:Claro. Eu nasci e cresci em uma cidade pequena da Colômbia chamada Cartagena. Hoje é turística e bastante conhecida, mas, quando eu crescia lá, era apenas um destino nacional, relativamente pequeno. Eu, inclusive, nasci em Barranquilla porque minha mãe era de lá — que é ainda menor.De Barranquilla vêm muitas coisas conhecidas: Shakira, a Avianca (nossa companhia aérea nacional), e as últimas duas empresas colombianas que abriram capital nos EUA também são de lá.É uma cidade muito empreendedora. Talvez um bom precedente para a Cobre, não é? Venho de uma família de imigrantes libaneses — extremamente trabalhadores e empreendedores. Cresci aprendendo, por osmose, o que significava ser um empresario. Homens e mulheres da minha família sempre fundaram e até hoje administram empresas. Era um ambiente muito natural para acabar trilhando o caminho que trilhei. Depois tive o privilégio de estudar na Universidade da Pensilvânia. Meu primo Felipe — hoje cofundador da Cobre — estudava lá um ano antes de mim. Eu nunca achei que conseguiria entrar, mas consegui, e fui para a Penn cursar a graduação. No meu primeiro ano, li um business case sobre a M-Pesa, considerada precursora do dinheiro móvel — e, por consequência, de boa parte do que chamamos hoje de fintech: Zelle, Venmo, Paytm, GCash…A ideia original surgiu da M-Pesa, um serviço criado pela Vodafone que permitia às pessoas enviar dinheiro via SMS. Hoje, algo como 20% do PIB do Quênia transita pela M-Pesa. É completamente ubíquo. Inspirado nisso, tentei várias vezes criar algo parecido na Colômbia durante meus verões na Penn, mas obviamente falhei — afinal, eu não era uma empresa de telecomunicações. Ainda assim, essa experiência me mostrou como uma infraestrutura de pagamentos em tempo real poderia transformar a vida de milhões de pessoas e empresas. Ao me formar, voltei para a Colômbia para tentar de novo. E falhei mais uma vez. Foi aí que percebi: “o problema sou eu, preciso aprender a construir empresas de verdade”. Então fui trabalhar na McKinsey em Nova York. Passei um ano e meio lá e tive como cliente uma das maiores gestoras de venture capital do mundo. Eu era apenas analista júnior na equipe, mas aprendi muito sobre como os VCs pensam. Isso me levou a largar o emprego em Nova York e me mudar para a Cidade do México, para trabalhar na Oyo Rooms, um dos grandes unicórnios da Índia. A ideia era aprender mais sobre startups de hiperescala do que eu aprenderia ficando na consultoria. Fiquei um ano e meio na Oyo — até a pandemia começar. Com a COVID, percebi: “este é o momento certo para digitalizar pagamentos na Colômbia”. As empresas estavam forçadas a mudar. E foi quando decidi voltar a Bogotá, em junho de 2020, para tentar mais uma vez. E agora, cá estamos. Florian:Muito interessante. Não sabia de todas essas tentativas que não deram certo antes.Aliás, eu também estudei na Penn, me formei em 2010. Você foi alguns anos depois, certo? José:Sim, me formei em 2018. E naquela época, o ambiente ainda era mais voltado para carreiras tradicionais. A maioria queria ir para consultoria, bancos de investimento ou fundos. Eu era um dos poucos insistindo em empreender já na graduação. Participei até de competições de startups do MBA, porque não havia para undergrad. (continua na mesma estrutura — alternando Florian / José, até o final da conversa que você compartilhou).
