L'intelligenza artificiale sta diventando più semplice per l'utente comune, ma sempre più complessa per chi deve utilizzarla seriamente all'interno di un'azienda.
Founding PM chez The Mobile-First Company, Yassine était seul PM face à une équipe de 20 ingénieurs.Résultat : le PM devient un véritable goulot d'étranglement car les ingénieurs vont plus vite avec l'IA.Les questions s'accumulent, la data aussi, et le temps, lui, ne s'étire pas. C'est le déclic qui a poussé Yassine à créer son alter ego IA pour changer sa façon de travailler. Il a construit 3 agents qui tournent pour toute l'équipe, pas seulement pour lui : Un Weekly Customer Pulse qui remonte chaque lundi les signaux Slack, Intercom et data produit dans un rapport Notion.Un Competitor Monitor qui scrape les pages pricing des concurrents.Jassine, un PM virtuel sur Slack, calibré sur les préférences de chaque ingénieur. Le tout piloté depuis Claude Code.Désormais, Yassine passe 100% de son temps sur ce qui compte vraiment : le contact avec ses utilisateurs. Au cours de cet épisode : Comment il a inversé le rapport 60/40 avec 3 agents ?Sa méthode pour distribuer le rôle de PM à chaque ingénieur de l'équipeLe data lake construit en 6 semaines qui alimente tout le systèmePourquoi il personnalise la façon dont l'agent s'adresse à chaque devComment il construit un agent en 15mn (demo live)AI Club est une émission soutenue par Weglot, une solution tout-en-un qui traduit, gère et affiche votre site web dans 110+ langues, sans nécessiter de code.
Do you need to understand code before you can build a technology company or lead a team of developers? Five years after our previous conversation, I welcome Sophia Matveeva back to the podcast. Sophia is the founder of Tech for Non-Techies, where she helps founders and business professionals understand how technology products are created, tested, managed and turned into commercial ventures. A great deal has changed since we last spoke. Generative AI tools can now turn a written description into a working prototype within hours. For someone who has spent years believing a lack of coding experience disqualified them from building a technology business, that removes a significant barrier. Sophia believes this is the best time yet to be a non-technical founder, although her reasoning goes beyond AI-assisted coding. Research into billion-dollar technology companies shows that non-technical founders now make up a much larger share of founding teams than they did a decade ago. Many of these businesses sell technology to other companies, where commercial knowledge, customer relationships and an understanding of industry problems matter enormously. We discuss where AI belongs in the founder journey. Sophia recommends using tools such as Lovable or Replit to create a simple test product, show it to potential customers and learn whether people would use or pay for the idea. This allows founders to test their assumptions before committing substantial money to development. The boundary appears when that prototype becomes a real product. Once software stores customer information, processes payments or supports a commercial service, security and technical architecture cannot be treated as optional details. Sophia argues that professional developers are still needed to inspect the code, prepare the product for production and address problems a non-technical founder may not know exist. Her point is simple. AI can help a founder reach the testing stage sooner and at a lower cost. It cannot tell someone with no engineering experience whether the generated code is safe, maintainable or ready to support paying customers. Sophia also shares what she learned from managing her first development team. After raising investment, she attempted to compensate for her technical insecurity by taking a coding course and becoming involved in work she did not fully understand. The result was micromanagement, constant interruptions and frustrated developers. A better approach begins with business priorities. Founders should explain what customers want, ask developers about effort and tradeoffs, agree on what will be delivered during the next work cycle, then give the team the space required to complete it. They should also allow time for technical debt, the less visible maintenance work that prevents hurried development from creating larger problems later. We finish with advice for any business leader who wants greater technology fluency. Sophia recommends joining product meetings, contributing customer knowledge and building relationships with technical colleagues who want to understand the commercial side of the company. Neither side needs to become the other. They need enough shared language to make better decisions together. If AI has removed the cost of testing many technology ideas, what is stopping you from finding out whether yours could work? Listen to the episode, try Sophia's exercise and share your experience with me.
Depuis le Raise Summit, organisé les 8 et 9 juillet 2026 au Carrousel du Louvre à Paris, PPC propose une synthèse incarnée d'un échange entre Anton Osika, cofondateur de Lovable, et Mark Cuban, entrepreneur et investisseur américain.Et si l'intelligence artificielle permettait enfin à chacun de passer plus facilement d'une idée à un produit, d'une intuition à un prototype, d'un problème concret à une solution utilisable ?PPC explore dans cet épisode la transformation du « droit d'entrée » dans l'entrepreneuriat. Car lorsque l'IA permet de créer un logiciel, de mettre en place un paiement, un CRM ou un workflow sans équipe technique, sans budget considérable et sans armée d'experts, elle réduit la distance entre l'idée et l'action.Mais la magie s'arrête là où commence la réalité de l'entreprise : données, droits d'accès, ERP, gouvernance, sécurité… Pourquoi l'IA, si simple lors d'une première démonstration, devient-elle si complexe lorsqu'il faut réellement l'intégrer ? Et derrière tout cela demeure une question essentielle : la confiance. Car une IA ne vaut pas seulement par ce qu'elle produit, mais par sa capacité à être fiable, compréhensible, robuste et à rendre davantage de personnes capables d'agir.Un épisode de Connected Mate sur l'entrepreneuriat augmenté, la démocratisation de la création et cette frontière décisive entre la magie apparente de l'IA et la mécanique solide qui doit exister derrière.Découvrez NoteTaker AI, l'une des premières applications françaises conçues pour exploiter tout le potentiel d'Apple Intelligence.

Jonathan Userovici observe la tech et le venture capital depuis plus de 10 ans.À 33 ans, il fait partie d'une nouvelle génération d'investisseurs qui a vu évoluer les derniers grands cycles technologiques.Au départ, il devait rester seulement 3 mois chez Idinvest.Finalement, il n'a jamais quitté le monde du VC.Dans cet épisode, il raconte ce qui a changé en une décennie.Il y a 10 ans, beaucoup de startups se construisaient en modernisant de vieux marchés.On prenait un acteur historique, souvent lent et peu digitalisé, puis on créait une version plus simple, plus rapide et plus moderne.Aujourd'hui, l'IA bouleverse complètement cette logique.Quand tout le monde peut créer plus vite, la vraie question est qu'est-ce qui aura encore de la valeur demain ?Jonathan prend notamment l'exemple de Lovable, symbole d'une nouvelle génération de produits très simples à utiliser, mais qui reposent aussi sur des technologies déjà existantes.Dans ce nouveau monde, les investisseurs ne regardent plus seulement l'idée ou le marché.Ils regardent surtout la vitesse d'exécution, la capacité à avancer vite, à recruter, tester, vendre et itérer sans attendre que tout soit parfait.Ce sont les High Agency Founders.Des fondateurs capables de faire bouger leur boîte sur tous les fronts.L'épisode aborde aussi l'avenir du travail, les métiers qui vont disparaître, et la place de l'humain dans un monde post-IA.Avec Headline, Jonathan accompagne des startups européennes dans leurs différents stades de développement.Le fonds gère plus de 5 milliards d'euros, compte plus de 100 collaborateurs et investit partout en Europe.Pour lui, une grande boîte peut naître en France.Mais pour devenir un géant mondial, elle doit très vite penser au-delà de son marché local.Bonne écoute !===========================
The same handbag. Thirty different platforms. Hundreds of dollars between listings. And no way to know what it's actually worth.In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, Barry O'Kane speaks with Chris Lucas, founder and CEO of Secondsense, a platform that aggregates luxury resale listings from over 30 vendors, normalises their attributes, and tells consumers what a product is really trading at. Chris describes it as the Google Flights for luxury resale.Chris's background is unusual for the fashion space. Stanford AI, senior machine learning engineer at Instagram, then Harvard Business School. He built a prototype while still a student, a TikToker put it on her channel, the site crashed overnight, and Chris opened a fundraise the next morning. He didn't wait until the product was ready. He didn't wait until he graduated. He just ran.What's most striking about the conversation is Chris's view on where value sits now. He argues the modelling layer, the application layer, and the hardware layer are all effectively democratised. Someone can duplicate a website in minutes using tools like Lovable or Claude Code. The only thing that can't be replicated is years of clean, structured, proprietary data and the domain expertise to know what to do with it. For Secondsense, that means knowing that a caviar leather Chanel sells differently from lambskin, or that champagne hardware changes the price, details a layperson would never spot.✨ In this episode:Chris explains why the secondhand luxury market is broken: fragmented supply, opaque pricing, and one-of-one SKU processing that leads to chronic supply-demand mismatchWe hear the story of the TikTok video that crashed his prototype and the snap decision to fundraise before graduating HarvardChris shares his framework for thinking about the AI stack (data, models, applications, hardware) and why only one of those layers is defensibleBarry and Chris discuss why domain knowledge matters as much as technical skill, and why hiring people who understand both is a sportChris gives an honest account of Secondsense's sustainability story: it's real, but it's not what's driving his customers' purchasing decisionsWe explore the vision for scaling beyond luxury handbags into any product category that trades inefficiently on the resale market, from liquor and art to wine, electronics, and even equestrian saddlery
This Week In Startups is made possible by: Digital Ocean - do.co/twist Agree.com - agree.com Every.io - every.io. Today's show: How many startups matter in tech? Fewer than you think. That's why venture capitalists are tripping over themselves to get onto their cap tables, no matter the cost. Why? Footwork's Nikhil Basu Trivedi argues that the Valley has never been more "power-law-pilled" than it is today.

North Carolina's tight end room was sorely misused last season, but under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, this year's group should improve and could potentially - according to Inside Carolina's football analyst Jason Staples - be the best unit on the offensive side of the ball this season. Staples joins host Tommy Ashley for his list of superlatives among a talented group of Jelanie Thurman, Jordan Washington, Shamar Easter and Jaxxon Warren. *New Sponsor - Zen.AI is the home of vibecasting, a new way to capture and share conversations.

Mi van akkor, ha már nem kell hónapokat várni egy fejlesztőre, hanem este leülsz, megnyitod a Claude Code-ot, és elkezded összerakni azt, amit eddig csak halogattál? Ebben az epizódban újra a BB Chief No Officer-e, Mester Tomi volt a vendégünk. Pár adással ezelőtt már belecsaptunk vele az AI-os témákba, most viszont még mélyebbre mentünk: vibe coding, saját rendszerek, BB Pro Connect, tokenköltségek, Lovable-pofonok, kiküldött teszt e-mailek és az a furcsa érzés, amikor este Netflix helyett inkább még egy promptot írsz. Ez nem az a beszélgetés, ahol csak bólogatunk, hogy „az AI majd mindent megváltoztat”.
Idag ringde jag Olof Palme. På riktigt, typ.Någon i AI-partiet (som jag knappast delar politik med) har vibe-kodat ihop en sajt: paketera ″Ring Olof Palme″ till ett ord och flytta punkten in i namnet, mellan Pal och me, så har du RingOlofPal.me. Där sitter en röstagent byggd på ElevenLabs. Du trycker på en knapp och tar ett samtal med Palme. Charmigt, lite kusligt, förvånansvärt bra.Men det är inte poängen. Poängen är vad det säger om var vi är. För i samma avsnitt pratar jag om det som verkligen tänder mig just nu: pluralism. Svaret på ″är vi för beroende av USA?″ är inte att vänta på att EU eller någon svensk regering ska bygga ett AI åt oss. Det är att sprida ut det. Kör flera modeller mot varandra, specialtjänster som Perplexity eller Elicit, en liten modell direkt i telefonen (Gemma 4), eller bygg ditt eget kluster. Jag räknade på det: en seriös on-prem-uppsättning i Volvo Trucks-skala landar på runt 10 miljoner i hårdvara och 30 000 i månaden i el. Dyrt för en, fullt möjligt för många tillsammans. Hör ni det, Helsingborg?Och Fable 5 är tillbaka ett par dagar till innan den låses in bakom API:t den 7 juli, så passa på.Men mest av allt: bygg något. Carin Winberg satte sig med Lovable och löste sin egen förrådsrensning. Det räcker. Det är så vi kommer igång.Kom igen nu. Bygg något i helgen, gör en Carin. Men om inget annat ring Palma, snacka AI, och berätta i en kommentar vad ni kommer fram till.CC-BY 4.0
The position of Athletic Director has played a key role in the University of North Carolina's pursuit of athletic excellence across 28 sports. Bubba Cunningham's tenure at Carolina's helm spanned a years long NCAA investigation where his leadership and experience resulted in a successful challenge to the NCAA's purview in the area of academics and a continued run of success on the field for many of Tar Heel teams. Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley for a look into Cunningham's legacy and his impact in Chapel Hill over the course of the past 15 years. *New Sponsor ZenAI - start your vibecasting now at http://bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_unc Zen.AI is the home of vibecasting, a new way to capture and share conversations.

North Carolina's running back room has Tar Heels veterans - Benjamin Hall is in his second year after transferring in from Michigan - and a potential big timer in Kaleb Jackson from LSU, but will need to step up as a group in 2026 for UNC's offense to produce as expected under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. Bill Belichick's hiring of Petrino has many followers and supporters excited about the potential with the running backs and Inside Carolina's football analyst Jason Staples breaks down the superlatives of the room among Hall, Jackson, Jaylen McGill, Demon June and Charleston French with host Tommy Ashley.

Sean Barry's team used to spend six months building a feature. Now they build it in two to three weeks.In Part 2, Sean and Dwayne move from the AI transformation inside LeanScaper to the bigger picture: what the software industry looks like in twelve months, why autonomous cars and AI adoption are fundamentally different problems, and what it actually means to participate in this change rather than spectate. In this episode: Why the software industry is facing a potential 50-80% company turnover in the next 12-18 months — and why it's simultaneously the best time to be a consumer of technology and the most terrifying time to be building it The voice and ambient AI future that Sean sees arriving in the next 12 months: screens shrinking from 98% of the interface to 60%, then 20%, as conversational AI replaces the need to navigate software at all Why AI adoption is fundamentally different from autonomous car adoption — when the choice is 150 hours of your time versus 5 hours with AI, it's not a choice your employer gives you, it's a choice that gets made for you How AI can lift wages across entire workforces by removing waste from businesses — Sean's case that the real gift of AI isn't productivity, it's the ability to pay people more Sean's closing philosophy on AI and empathy: the sentiment is largely negative because people aren't participating, and the antidote isn't optimism — it's getting informed, then helping others do the same Start building your identity with Dwayne's Identity Framework created for the LeanScaper Conference: https://www.dwaynekerrigan.com/identity-framework/Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Be Informed About AI 00:25 - Podcast Intro 01:26 - Shipping Faster With AI 05:55 - Producing What Was Impossible 09:52 - Keeping Pace With Change 11:01 - AI's Growth Curve 12:11 - Voice First Interfaces 16:54 - Future Of Software SaaS 21:16 - Build Vs Buy For SMBs 25:23 - Leverage Expertise With AI 27:31 - Does It Ever Normalize 31:12 - Autonomous cars 35:35 - Removing Waste Raising Wages 37:32 - Robotics And Scarcity 42:16 - How We Treat AI 46:12 - Participate With Empathy 51:12 - Closing And Disclaimers Resources mentioned: LeanScaper — AI operating system for the landscape industry Lana — LeanScaper's AI agent Mark Bradley — founder and chairman of LeanScaper Claude Code — referenced by Dwayne as the platform he used for his planned 10-week AI course for his staff and their families Lovable — referenced as a tool enabling small business owners to build their own apps Eleven Labs / Cartesia — referenced in context of voice AI development OpenClaw agents and Jarvis — referenced by Dwayne in context of his own AI setup Tesla / Waymo — referenced in autonomous vehicle comparison Anthropic — referenced re: recursive self-improvement blog post released day of recording Paul Akers's episode on The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast — referenced regarding eliminating business waste: Episode 135: The Lean Maniac: Paul Akers on Eliminating Waste Quotes: “ This isn't a choice. Like, people who think this is a choice aren't paying attention. Back to what I said before, this happens either to you or with you.” - Sean Barry “ What we accomplished in that two, three weeks would have taken us six months.” - Sean Barry “ I honestly think it's normalizing already, and I have a wonderful wife who, who grounds me in these things because as well I'm like, "Man, if we're not go, go, go, like, we're gonna be left behind." And her very nuanced understanding of people, way better than I have, is like change takes time and people need time.” - Sean Barry “ Nobody likes uncertainty, but that's where all the growth lies, is in your uncomfort.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “ We can help an industry transform the lives of its entire workforce because we can take all of the waste out, and then all of a sudden there's enough money to really pay people well.” - Sean Barry About Sean Barry: Sean Barry is the Chief Product Officer at LeanScaper, an AI operating system and business community built specifically for the landscape and snow contracting industry. He brings nearly two decades of product and digital leadership experience, including almost four years at LMN (Landscape Management Network) — the landscape industry's leading business management platform — where he rose from SVP of Product to Chief Product Officer.

In this episode, Dan and Lauren are joined by Dr. Cris Wildermuth, Professor of Leadership and Program Director for the Master of Science in Leadership and Innovation and the B.S. in Organizational Leadership at Barry University. Cris is also a member of the ILA Leadership Education Academy facilitation team and brings more than two decades of experience as a leadership educator, researcher, and consultant. The conversation explores how generative AI and technology-enhanced tools are changing what is possible in the leadership classroom — not by replacing good pedagogy, but by dramatically expanding the range of experiences educators can design and deliver. Cris shares how she uses vibe coding tools like Lovable and AI voice platforms like ElevenLabs to build immersive branched scenarios, simulations, and themed course experiences that would have been impractical or impossible before. She walks through concrete examples: an ethics course built around Game of Thrones, an online simulation using John Rawls' theory of justice played out through a dukes-knights-and-peasants game, and an alien-invasion metaphor for leading change. Dan and Lauren reflect alongside her on what it means for educators to be willing to fail, to stay curious, and to use AI as a lever for the kind of creative teaching that has always been at the heart of good leadership education.

Thomas Ahle wants Normal Computing to be the Lovable for chip design: type your intent, and a swarm of agents carries it from design through optimisation, formalisation and verification to tape-out. To get there, his team at wrote their own open-source Verilog simulator, 580,000 lines in 43 days, because commercial EDA verifiers run about $10,000 per core and there are no decent open-source compilers to build on.That sets up the question Tim keeps pressing: if an agent can produce a chip design, a proof, or a working program, how do you actually know it is correct? Passing 70% of tests is not the same as being right, and a single fabricated bug can cost a company a fortune. They dig into ProgramBench (rebuild a program from its tests, roughly 0% success), the difference between structure and competence, and the "understanding debt" you take on when nobody reads the code.From there: auto-formalisation in Lean and the AlphaProof trick of training on prove-or-disprove; why there is no single true representation of a spec (Petri nets, TLA+, Erik Curiel's "math does not represent"); and thermodynamic computing, where Normal Computing's CN101 chip is built so that its physical noise *is* the computation, settling a stochastic differential equation in hardware to invert a matrix. Plus Bayesian uncertainty, specialisation, the Chomsky hierarchy, AI slop, and whether performance is all that matters.Recorded in Zurich.Disclosure: Normal Computing paid our production and travel costs for this show.

In this episode of In Depth, Brett sits down with Paul Copplestone, co-founder and CEO of Supabase, the open-source Postgres platform now serving more than seven million developers. Before Supabase, Paul launched a Thumbtack-style marketplace in Southeast Asia and co-founded an office-management startup called Nimbus, experiences that taught him to separate fundraising from building and to find product-market fit before blitzscaling. He breaks down how a single tagline change for Supabase unlocked product-market fit, why he runs a fully distributed async team with near-zero attrition, and how he turned PLG signals into a product-led sales motion comped only on incremental uplift. In today's episode, we discuss: How changing one tagline helped Supabase go to #1 in Hacker News - an early sign of product market fit Why Paul ran Supabase like it had only $100K in the bank despite raising real money How Supabase rode three distinct AI waves, from pgvector to Bolt and Lovable, to Claude Code Why Supabase built a sales team comped only on the incremental uplift over a control group What the Toyota production system's "kaizen" taught Paul about unblocking a scaling team References: Ant Wilson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ant-wilson-46179937 Bolt: https://bolt.new/ Claude Code: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code Codex: https://openai.com/codex/ Entrepreneurs First: https://www.joinef.com/ Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/ Lovable: https://lovable.dev/ MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/ Next.js: https://nextjs.org/ PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/ Supabase: https://supabase.com/ Thumbtack: https://www.thumbtack.com/ Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/ Where to find Paul: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcopplestone Twitter/X: https://x.com/kiwicopple Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Why Paul's earlier startups were never destined to be huge 07:14 Unlearning the "tall poppy" mindset and going all-in on async 09:54 Reverse-engineering why Supabase was an outstanding idea 12:04 The accidental Hacker News launch and tagline lesson 13:58 Where the early roadmap came from: demand vs. technical taste 17:28 Skill vs. luck, and operating like you have $100K in the bank 21:42 What actually makes a great developer experience 23:10 Solving the "graduation problem" Firebase never could 24:58 The role of open source in Supabase's success 26:10 The three distinct AI tailwinds: From pgvector to Claude Code 35:24 Supabase's egoless, hyper-competitive open-source culture 42:58 A tactical playbook for raising capital 48:37 Product-led sales comped on incremental uplift only 59:27 The production philosophy behind Supabase's operations
AJ Bubb has spent the last 15 years helping organizations navigate one of the most difficult challenges in business: turning ambitious ideas into meaningful change.Throughout his career, he has operated at the intersection of technology, leadership, and transformation, working with organizations ranging from global enterprises to rapidly growing mid-market companies. Early roles with Accenture and Amazon Web Services (AWS) gave AJ a front-row seat to some of the world's most ambitious innovation initiatives. Those experiences shaped a perspective that continues to guide his work today: technology alone does not create transformation—people do.Over the years, AJ witnessed both sides of the innovation equation. He saw organizations invest heavily in emerging technologies without achieving meaningful results, and he saw others create lasting competitive advantages by taking a thoughtful, human-centered approach to change. The difference between those outcomes became the foundation of his career.Today, AJ is the founder of MXP Studio, a fractional AI strategy consultancy focused on helping mid-market organizations successfully adopt and integrate artificial intelligence. Working primarily with companies in the $50 million to $500 million range, he helps leadership teams identify practical opportunities for AI, build realistic implementation roadmaps, and execute transformation initiatives without disrupting culture, overwhelming employees, or creating unnecessary risk.In addition to his consulting work, AJ is the host of Facing Disruption, a growing leadership-focused platform with nearly 40,000 followers. Through candid conversations with executives, founders, and innovators, he explores the realities of leading through uncertainty, disruption, and technological change. The show was born from a simple observation: the most valuable leadership conversations often happen behind closed doors. AJ's mission is to bring those conversations into the open, helping leaders learn from one another's successes, failures, and hard-earned lessons.AJ is also a contributor to the Forbes Technology Council and the founder of Convia, an early-stage technology venture. As a strong advocate for hands-on experimentation, he believes leaders should actively use the technologies they discuss. His commitment to learning through building has placed him at the forefront of AI-accelerated development and the emerging world of "vibe coding." In less than 60 days, AJ generated more than 980,000 lines of code on the Lovable platform, earning recognition among the top 1% of users globally.What distinguishes AJ is his pragmatic approach to innovation. He does not chase hype cycles or make exaggerated promises about the future of AI. Instead, he focuses on helping leaders understand both the opportunities and the realities of technological transformation. Having witnessed AI implementations fail, transformation programs stall, and leadership teams struggle under the weight of constant change, he brings an honest and balanced perspective to every conversation.At the same time, AJ has seen what is possible when organizations get it right. He has watched leaders unlock new levels of productivity, innovation, and growth by combining emerging technologies with strong leadership, clear communication, and a people-first mindset.Whether speaking on a podcast, advising executives, or leading strategic discussions, AJ's message remains consistent: successful transformation is not about technology. It is about people. The organizations that thrive in the age of AI will not be those that adopt the most tools—they will be the ones that empower their people to use those tools with purpose, confidence, and clarity.
Do you struggle to answer the question: "what do I want?"Do you tend to put other people's needs above your own?Do you think the only way to be loved is through being helpful?Constantly making choices that put other people's needs before your own that force us to abandon our own well-being can slowly erode our ability to understand what we want. It doesn't feel like self-abandonment. It feels like "keeping the peace" or "getting through it". So we dismiss ourselves and our basic needs, and that pattern becomes a habit. Self-neglect becomes the norm. We minimize ourselves out of fear of pushing people away. But this is dangerous. And counter-intuitive. We build better, more connected relationships when we allow ourselves to connect to ourselves, first.

Day 1 of building a million dollar AI app. I'm 20 years into software development and I use AI agents and tools like Lovable to ship faster than I ever could by hand. In this video I walk through the AI coaching feature I just implemented in Stable Manager Pro, an app that helps riding instructors give better feedback to students.The feature uses OpenAI Vision to analyze a photo of a rider on a horse and return real coaching feedback: overall balance score, posture analysis, hip engagement, upper body angle, and specific coaching cues. The output reads like what a real instructor would say after watching a student ride. Two years ago you couldn't build this. Today it's one API call.What's covered:How OpenAI Vision analyzes a rider's posture from a single photoThe coaching output: balance, posture, stirrup position, hip engagement, upper body angleWhy this works for equestrian coaching specificallyHow I'm using OpenAI and Claude together to ideate featuresWhat's coming in v1.1: video upload, FFmpeg frame extraction, multi-frame analysisThe app is stablemanagerpro.com. We're in soft launch and onboarding stable owners, students, and instructors now. Web app first, with iOS and Android coming.This is Day 1 of an ongoing series where I show how I build apps using AI tools instead of hand-coding everything. Subscribe to follow the build. New videos drop as features ship.Stable Manager Pro: https://stablemanagerpro.com#AI #BuildInPublic #OpenAI #Lovable #AIagents #SaaS #AIapp #VibeCoding #equestrian #softwaredevelopment #Claude #AIcoaching

First-year Foster MBA (Class of '27) Tejash Bagri explains how he turned a stalled application into an interview by building a go-to-market prototype before reaching out — and what that says about standing out when every candidate has the same AI tools. A practical case study for anyone in a competitive recruiting process. Tejash was part of the core organizing team for Foster's inaugural AI Spark Day and leads the school's AI and Data Analytics Society. Before his MBA, he worked as chief of staff for a group of organizations in a startup environment, where he built AI-driven workflows for research, marketing, and hiring. He reached the final sixteen of Foster's Dempsey Startup Competition and is building a product focused on AI literacy in the classroom. What you'll learn How to use a prototype to get past a resume screen when everyone's resume looks optimized Why AI fluency only matters once it sits on top of real functional or industry expertise Why you should identify the two or three areas where you're genuinely above average — and build from there A staged model for AI maturity, and where most people stall Where to keep the human visibly in control during a live interview Resources mentioned Luma and Meetup (for finding local industry events) Lovable, Replit, Databricks, Claude Code (build/prototyping tools) Company 10-K filings as interview-prep research Ethan Mollick's "jagged edge" framing of AI capability
You already know what you offer is worth it. So why does it feel so hard to actually charge that number?In Part 2 of this conversation, Jan sits back down with Andee Hart — sales strategist, wholesale business expert, and host of She Sells Differently — to tackle one of the most emotionally loaded topics in entrepreneurship: pricing. Not the spreadsheet version. The version where guilt, fear of rejection, people-pleasing, and a deep desire to serve all collide at the checkout page.Whether you sell physical products, coaching, courses, or creative services, this episode will challenge the way you've been calculating your prices — and give you a practical framework for backing into what you should actually be charging.In this episode you'll learn:Why women entrepreneurs consistently underprice themselves — and the caregiving instinct that's often behind itHow to shift from cost-based pricing to ROI-based pricing (and why it might raise your price by $1,000 or more)Why knowing your ideal client's transformation is the foundation of every pricing decisionThe real reason discounting hurts your business — and what to offer instead in a slower economyHow your brand visuals directly affect what price people are willing to pay (the $45 hat story is one you'll remember)What an ROI calculator is, why Andee uses one on her sales page, and how she built it using AI tools without codingHow people-pleasing and the need to control client outcomes can silently keep you underchargingAndee's top pricing tip: why your first price doesn't have to be your forever priceEpisode Highlights[00:00] Jan introduces Part 2 and frames the topic: pricing, guilt, and the fear of thinking too much of yourself[02:14] Why women struggle with pricing more than men — and Proverbs 31 as a biblical foundation for charging what you're worth[04:04] The pricing framework Andee uses with product makers: start with cost of goods, then layer in labor, time, and — most importantly — the buyer's ROI[05:55] Jan gets real: she knows she's underpricing her web design and branding services, and shares the mindset shift she's working through right now[07:10] The critical mistake entrepreneurs make in sales copy — leading with features instead of the transformation — and how to fix it[08:00] Andee's wholesale course example: how she built an ROI calculator into her sales page and why it became a game-changer for conversions[09:40] Why one client avatar isn't enough — and how going deeper into who you serve at each stage of the customer journey changes how you price[11:06] The $45 hat story: how one perfectly branded coffee shop in Franklin, Tennessee made Jan open her wallet immediately — and what that means for your pricing power[13:20] Product makers and packaging: why homemade-looking branding keeps wholesalers off retail shelves, and how branding does the selling when you're not in the room[14:13] The scary investment conversation — why stepping into a big God-given vision requires being brave enough to pay people who can get you there[15:38] Cost vs. worth: the mindset difference between what something costs you and what it's worth to your buyer[17:20] The people-pleasing pricing trap: Andee gets personal about wanting to control client outcomes — and how that tendency quietly caps her prices[18:07] Jan's honest confession about spending thousands on courses she didn't finish — and why the ROI is always on the student, not the creator[20:40] How Andee built her ROI calculator using Canva AI first, then vibe coding tools like Lovable and Base44 — no coding required[23:07] Jan's lightbulb moment: using an ROI calculator as a client-facing tool inside web design projects[25:16] Andee's best pricing tip: don't be afraid to pivot. Survey your clients, raise your rates, and stop treating your launch price as permanent[25:55] Instead of discounting in a tough economy — add payment plans. Don't devalue your work; just make it more accessible[26:51] "You don't want to be Dollar Tree." Why discounting trains your audience to expect discount pricing foreverKey Takeaway"When I am not charging what I'm worth, I am not able to use the gifts that the Lord has given me — because let's be real, it's all a gift from Him — to go do other things that make a kingdom impact." — Andee HartResources Mentioned

AI Ready: Ahmad Ghabboun Ahmad Ghabboun built a Demo Day–winning AI product during his MSIS program — after arriving with no plans to work in AI at all. He breaks down how his mindset shifted, how his design background made him a stronger prompter, and how to build AI fluency that actually holds up in interviews. Useful for students and early-career professionals trying to get AI-ready without faking it. Ahmad Ghabboun is a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) 2026 Graduate at the UW Foster School of Business. Before Foster, he spent roughly fifteen years in UX and product design, building web applications for startups. At Foster he built several generative-AI tools in his coursework, including Synapse, which won Best Business and Tech Product at the MSIS Demo Day. He is targeting product management and technical product roles. What you'll learn Why naming the specific AI model you use — and justifying it — matters more in interviews than saying "I use AI" How a design background translates into sharper, more technical prompts How to keep a human in the loop so AI assists your judgment instead of replacing it Why AI's tendency to agree with you makes human and second-model pushback essential How to stay current with fast-moving tools without trying to learn everything The difference between a productivity mindset and a learning mindset in school Key moments The third-quarter AI classes that moved AI from "not on my list" to his career focus The origin of Synapse: manually juggling answers across Gemini, Claude, and a third model How Synapse runs a dual-model validation and a judge step to flag gaps for technical PMs Why interview proctoring now detects AI use — and what a "perfect" AI answer signals to interviewers Ethan Mollick's "jagged edge" and why it shifts with every model release Resources mentioned Lovable; Replit; Gemini; Claude; ChatGPT; Jira; Azure DevOps; GitHub; Ethan Mollick's "jagged frontier" of AI capability.
What happens when AI becomes a requirement instead of an advantage? In this episode, Erik Van Horn sits down with Shaina Denny to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming franchising, why most brands are still underutilizing it, and what franchisors and franchisees should be doing right now to stay competitive. Shaina shares how she uses Claude and ChatGPT in her own business, why she expects employees to be 10x more productive with AI, and how franchisors can leverage projects, SOPs, living brand manuals, and knowledge systems to scale more efficiently. They also discuss the difference between using AI as a simple content generator versus using it as a strategic business tool that improves operations, hiring, training, and execution. Whether you're a franchisor, franchisee, executive, or entrepreneur, this conversation will challenge how you think about productivity and the future of work. In this episode you'll learn: ✅ Why 10x productivity is becoming the new expectation ✅ How franchisors are currently using AI ✅ Claude vs. ChatGPT vs. Lovable vs. Replit ✅ How to build better SOPs with AI ✅ The right way to create a company knowledge base ✅ Why most AI-generated work still falls short ✅ How to think about AI adoption inside your organization

Joe Polish sits down with Strategic Coach Founder Dan Sullivan and The CEO of CEG Worldwide John Bowen to explore the research-backed framework behind their new book, The Greater Game — a 100x blueprint that reveals why only 5.4% of Entrepreneurs are playing a completely different game than everyone else. Together they unpack the shift from Founder-dependent businesses to scalable ecosystems, the finite-vs-infinite game divide, and why AI is less a technological revolution and more a cognitive one. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: The number that reveals whether you're winning or losing the only game that matters... and why 94.6% of Entrepreneurs are optimizing a game that's already coming to an end (you've probably already done 10x without calling it that — what you do next is the whole point) Dan Sullivan's quiet observation after 52 years and 7,000+ Entrepreneurs... the exact moment a successful person stops growing isn't failure — it's something far more seductive, and almost no one catches it in themselves (the first exercise he runs at Strategic Coach is designed to show you you've already crossed the line once) Joe typed a question into AI and got back the most brutal case study in modern business history... Blockbuster, Kodak, Borders, Toys "R" Us — and the one invisible shift every company on that list missed before it was too late (this isn't a technology story — it's a thinking story) Why John Bowen started three new companies on his 70th birthday... and the dashboard he and Dan built for roughly $2,000 that a top vendor quoted them $50,000 a year to provide (his tech team called after the first meeting and said "we'll just build it and give it to you tomorrow") The four-hour version of something that used to take Dan Sullivan four weeks... and what it reveals about the only AI upgrade that actually changes your trajectory (this isn't about using AI more — it's about using it in the right direction entirely) What Joe Polish teaches Genius Youth Members that no business school has ever covered... and why writing handwritten postcards in an age of AI might be the single highest-leverage thing you do this week (the killer app of 2026 is not what anyone is selling you) If you'd like to join world-renowned Entrepreneurs at the next Genius Network Event or want to learn more about Genius Network, go to www.GeniusNetwork.com. Show Notes: The Book: The Greater Game and the 5.4% Dan and John's new book — published by Hay House and instantly a #1 Amazon bestseller — grew out of a 25-year research partnership to study what separates the highest-performing Entrepreneurs from everyone else. Their research across 7,000+ Entrepreneurs found that 94.6% are still optimizing the game they're in — while only 5.4% are architecting a completely different one. The book maps out exactly what those 5.4% are doing. The book's central premise: "Every system that got you here is optimized for a game that's coming to an end." From 10x to 100x: Dan's Framework Dan has been coaching Entrepreneurs to 10x since the 1990s — starting with an exercise where he had Clients identify when they were one-tenth of where they are today. Everyone in his program had already done 10x without labeling it that way. When he challenged a Client who said they couldn't go 10x in three years, the Client responded they could do it in 15 — and then voluntarily suggested doing it again. That's when the 100x idea crystallized. Dan's thesis: give yourself a long enough time horizon, use AI as a genuine collaborator, and constant growth becomes the natural state — not the exception. The Four Levels of The Greater Game Level 1 — Foundation for Freedom: Vision, security, and financial confidence. Getting off the couch. Level 2 — Energy for Expansion: Motivation and IP development. Dan has built an extraordinary amount of intellectual property; John and Joe have too. Level 3 — Platform / Ecosystem: Moving from Founder-dependent to a scalable system. John's own company grew 58% while writing the book — by walking the talk of this level. Level 4 — Agency: Creating markets. Courage, commitment, and building an ecosystem where you're generating the category itself. Finite vs. Infinite: What the Game Shift Really Means Finite game: competing for market share, managing dependencies, staying indispensable personally, reacting to market pressure. Business value: 3–5x EBITDA. Infinite game: designing an ecosystem, multiplying unique genius through others, engineering your own absence, redefining the market. Business value: multiples that reflect systems, not the Founder. Joe's examples (finite → infinite): Blockbuster → Netflix, Kodak → Apple, Borders → Amazon, taxi companies → Uber, Toys "R" Us → Lego. The pattern: finite players optimize the current game; infinite players keep changing what the game is. Dan's real-world example: Paul Van Dyne came to Strategic Coach planning to retire at 65. He went on to take his engineering firm from #40 to #1 nationally in nine years through M&A — and now plans to build his gourmet coffee shop inside one of his medical centers. AI as a Cognitive Revolution Dan's framing: AI isn't a technological revolution — it's a cognitive revolution. He compares its impact to the introduction of zero in mathematics, which made economics, double-entry bookkeeping, and science possible. Practical example: Dan used to need four weeks to structure a new book. With AI, the same work takes four hours. He now writes a new book every quarter. John's vibe-coding story: his Team built the entire Greater Game Dashboard for roughly $2,000–3,000 using Lovable — after being quoted $50,000/year from a top vendor. They own the code and iterate freely. Joe's counterpoint: the killer app today is being fully human — knowing how to bond, connect, and think for yourself. "Write with your hands, think with your brain." The Greater Game Dashboard John built this free interactive tool at TheGreaterGameDashboard.com to put the book's framework into action. The 15-minute assessment shows you exactly where you stand relative to peers and the 10 Greater Multipliers. The dashboard automatically calculates what your company is worth to a buyer today — and shows how each improvement raises that number. Dan calls it the greatest tool he's seen in 52 years of coaching Entrepreneurs. Monthly updates include an Entrepreneur Pulse confidence index. Useful whether you ever intend to sell or not — knowing your number changes how you invest in your business. Building Great Teams: Cast, Don't Hire Dan's principle: Strategic Coach treats itself as a theater company — with backstage and front-stage roles. They don't hire for jobs, they cast for roles. Every new hire is there to free up someone already in the company. Babs Smith built the Strategic Coach Team around Dan from the start — several Team members have now been with the company 20–30+ years. Beware the Founder-as-salesperson trap: if you're great at selling, you'll hire the wrong people — you'll confuse their excitement for the role with fit for the role. John, Joe, and Dan all find talent primarily through communities — mastermind groups, Genius Network, Strategic Coach — rather than ads. Great people seek out great people. Dan's upcoming book (Hay House): Casting Not Hiring. IP as a Strategic Asset Dan has had 82 thinking tools patented by the US Patent Bureau (none rejected), with 75 more pending. Each patent is a borrowable asset — you can borrow up to half the appraised value, creating a private intellectual property bank. Joe Polish's company operates as an ESOP — all Team members become equity owners after a vesting period, creating a true ownership culture without requiring employees to buy in upfront. Genius Youth and the Human Connection Advantage Joe's Genius Youth program focuses on skills AI can't replicate: human connection, handwritten notes, cold plunges, cooking and hospitality, ethical influence.
