He joined Facebook very early, spent eight years there working closely with Mark Zuckerberg and ultimately became VP of Product and Engineering, before becoming a partner at storied venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, where he backed companies including Notion, Rippling, Clay and Statsig.In this conversation, Mike joins Vidit to unpack the journey from Microsoft to joining Facebook when it was still only a few hundred people, helping scale it through one of the most important periods in technology, and later becoming a partner at Sequoia before joining Conviction. He shares what he learned working closely with Mark Zuckerberg, why Facebook's obsession with speed became such an advantage, how he learned to spot exceptional founders, and why ambition remains one of the traits he values most.They also explore why Mike believes people risk “overfitting” to a job after seven years, what Sequoia taught him about great businesses, why he came back to venture after some of the most enjoyable years of his life with his family, and what changes when the cost of creating software starts approaching zero. Along the way, Mike shares the habits, quirks and principles behind his reputation as a “nerd's nerd”, from obsessive curiosity and inbox zero to the belief that the best leaders make the people around them better.Please enjoy exploring your curiosity._______Get in touch with us via email at contact@curiositycentre.comJoin our stable of commercial partners including the Australian Government, Google, KPMG,, Allens, Macquarie Capital, Xero, JP Morgan and more.

Would you enjoy going on a date with yourself—or would it feel more like an interrogation? Too many singles become so focused on checking boxes, spotting red flags, and evaluating long-term potential that they forget the most important part of dating: creating a genuine connection. Kimmy sits down with couples therapist and Choosing Us author Jonathan VanVegan to explore why being lovable isn't always enough—and why likability may be the real secret to attraction and lasting love. They discuss the resentment that quietly erodes relationships, the "beige flags" we catalog against our partners, and how curiosity, playfulness, appreciation, respect, and forgiveness can help couples enjoy each other again. Whether you're dating, married, or trying to break an old relationship pattern, this episode will challenge you to stop interviewing, start experiencing, and take ownership of how you show up in love.   You'll hear: Dating should feel like a connection, not a job interview. Attraction is driven less by facts and more by how someone feels around you. Being lovable isn't enough—lasting relationships require genuinely liking each other. Constantly cataloging "beige flags" and minor annoyances creates resentment. Focus on your partner's strengths instead of only noticing what they do wrong. Curiosity, playfulness, appreciation, and affection can restore lost connection. Respect and feeling chosen or cherished are essential to emotional and physical intimacy. Forgiveness works best when paired with accountability, growth, and maturity. Ask yourself: "Do I believe I deserve the relationship of my dreams—and am I capable of building it?" Taking ownership of how you show up can transform both your dating life and your relationships.   If you're not sure what's getting in your way, book a FREE private call with Kimmy by clicking here https://www.kimmyseltzer.com/breakthrough-session/. You'll uncover the patterns and blind spots that may be keeping you stuck and look at what you can start doing differently to create the kind of dating life and relationship you want.

He has advised three Australian Prime Ministers, served as Uber's Global Head of Economic Policy in San Francisco, and more. Today, he leads Mandala and serves on several prominent government and public-policy boards.In this conversation with Vidit, Amit shares his journey from growing up amid political instability in Fiji and moving to Australia as a teenager, to running a $20 million organisation with 200 employees at just 21 — before going on to work at the highest levels of Australian government. He reflects on going from Freehills to Kevin Rudd's office in the space of two days, subsequently working for Julia Gillard and briefly Anthony Albanese, and the experience of technically losing his job five times during his political career. Amit also shares the equal-pay decision he is proudest of, which delivered a 23–45% pay increase for 150,000 predominantly female care workers. Amit also explains why he left government for technology, what moving to San Francisco and working at Uber taught him about ambition and taking risks, and how those experiences ultimately led to building Mandala as a globally focused economics and policy firm. They also explore Amit's Fijian-Indian identity, why he believes the Australia–India economic relationship remains underdone despite decades of intent, the opportunity across technology, AI and services, and why changing Australians' understanding of modern India could unlock a much deeper relationship.

Before becoming an investor, she held senior roles at three of the most consequential technology companies of the past decade: VP at OpenAI leading AI safety work, Product Director at Meta across election integrity and social issues, and VP at Palantir, where she helped lead development of Gotham. At College, Ryan was the #1 ranked college policy debater in the US and won top speaker at the 2012 national championship, becoming only the fourth woman since 1946 to do so.In this conversation, Ryan joins Vidit to unpack the unconventional path from Houston and elite college debate to Palantir, Meta, OpenAI and now Founders Fund, including why Palantir took a chance on her at 22, what she learned building products for governments and billions of users, and why she believes there is still “no replacement for human judgement” in the age of AI.They also explore the risks of building technology and simply “throwing it over the wall”, the developmental impact of AI on young people, what makes humans uniquely valuable in an increasingly automated world, and Ryan's early lessons from making the leap from operator to venture capitalist.Please enjoy exploring your curiosity._______Get in touch with us via email at contact@curiositycentre.comJoin our stable of commercial partners including the Australian Government, Google, KPMG,, Allens, Macquarie Capital, Xero, JP Morgan and more.

Empowering non-technical users to build production-grade applications requires a proactive, secure-by-design architecture. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Marcus Hallberg and Samuel Kelemen, security engineers at the AI software creation platform Lovable, to discuss how they actively secure AI-generated code and protect creators from supply chain risks.Focusing on solutions rather than alarmism, Marcus and Samuel detail their response to an incident where malicious contractors mimicked AI agent commits. They outline their multi-layered defense strategy: securing a predefined tech stack, utilizing integrated security scanners, and tuning coding agents with strict guardrails to ensure secure output by default. The conversation also covers the evolution of the shared responsibility model in the AI era, the critical importance of foundational hygiene like Git commit signing, and the necessary transition from local "YOLO mode" to secure, sandboxed agent environments. Discover how platforms can leverage AI not just to write code, but to actively assist users in finding and resolving security issues through concepts like "CISO agents."Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠Marcus's Linkedin + Samuel's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast(00:00) Introduction to Securing AI App Builders(02:00) Marcus & Samuel's Backgrounds and Roles at Lovable(04:30) Empowering Non-Technical Users to Build 40 Million Apps(08:30) Securing Predefined Tech Stacks and Tuning Coding Agents(11:00) Managing Trust When Customers Hire External Contractors(14:00) Addressing Supply Chain Risks with Synced GitHub Repositories(17:30) Educating Users and Developing "CISO Agents" for Support(24:00) Analyzing the Attack: How Threat Actors Mimicked Agent Commits(31:00) The Importance of Basic Hygiene: MFA and Commit Signing(38:30) Moving Agents from "YOLO Mode" to Sandboxed Environments(46:00) The Buy vs. Build Debate for Internal AI Capabilities(52:30) AI as an Educational Tool and Democratizing SQL Queries(01:05:00) Hobbies, Plants, and Pushing AI to Design 1940s Bridges

A practising cardiologist, Shiv previously worked across healthcare technology and investing at UPMC before founding Abridge in 2018.In this rare in-depth conversation, Shiv joins Vidit to unpack his unconventional path: moving from Pittsburgh to India at nine, skateboarding, programming synthesizers, selling records in Japan and nearly quitting medical school before becoming a cardiologist.He shares how a seemingly perfect career across medicine, technology and investing left him “incredibly restless”, eventually leading to Abridge. But success was far from immediate: Shiv spent nearly four years as a “languishing founder” before generative AI arrived, “the sky just opened up”, and Abridge made its pivotal move into enterprise healthcare.They also explore why “pressure makes diamonds”, the family sacrifices behind building when “every minute matters”, what changes when a company passes 500 people, why Shiv still practises medicine, and what he's learned from unlikely influences including Jensen Huang and Rick Rubin.Please enjoy exploring your curiosity.________Get in touch with us via email at contact@curiositycentre.comJoin our stable of commercial partners including the Australian Government, Google, KPMG,, Allens, Macquarie Capital, Xero, JP Morgan and more.

In this episode, Jagjit Chawla, the VP who runs Facebook's Feed and Reels, returns to see how his predictions from our June conversation have landed. Back in the spring, he described Meta as a company racing to turn PMs into builders. Since then, Meta has become a smaller, flatter company. We get into how that version of Meta, with fewer PMs and layers, pulled in record revenues with its smallest team in years.–Key topics:• A smaller, flatter Meta building more, not less• Why "the glory days of being a PM in big tech are still ahead of us"• Pointing AI agents at Meta's old codebase to scaffold a new app in weeks• The new IC9 and IC10 ladder• Why design and data science aren't shrinking• Why Jagjit reversed his opinion on PMs shipping production code• Explaining AI evals using bath towels• The interview question that screens for "AI PM" judgment• Why he isn't worried about the industry's next hiring swing–Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:02 A return visit to see how Meta's AI predictions landed03:28 Facebook's super-app problem07:58 Pointing AI agents at Meta's old codebase to scaffold a new app in weeks11:15 Where Bolt, Lovable, and Replit still can't compete13:59 Why the new apps aren't cannibalizing Facebook18:01 Why PMs get the first mile and designers get the last23:07 Why Jagjit reversed his opinion on PMs shipping production code24:37 How homegrown AI habits became company-wide baseline tools29:06 Why "the glory days of being a PM in big tech are still ahead of us"31:38 "Facebook is like the world's largest Jenga tower"37:52 The test for converting a manager back into an IC39:48 The new IC9 and IC10 ladder 42:35 Explaining AI evals using bath towels46:26 How to coach someone into becoming an "AI PM"49:37 Should you do a tour of duty at big tech?53:44 Why Jagjit isn't worried about the industry's next hiring swing–Brought to you by:• Jira—Do the right work with Jira–Referenced:• Bolt• Facebook• Facebook Creator Studio• Forum, a Facebook app• Google• How Meta Is Reinventing Product Management• Instagram• Instagram Edits• Lovable• Messenger• Meta• Meta's Rotational Programs• Replit• Seller, a Facebook app• Threads• TikTok• WhatsApp• YouTube–Where to find Nikhyl:• Twitter/X• LinkedIn–Where to find Jagjit:• LinkedIn–Join The Skip:• Skip Coach• Skip Community–Find The Skip:• Website• Substack• YouTube• Spotify• Apple Podcasts–Don't forget to subscribe to The Skip to hear me coach you through timely career lessons.

BONUS: How Scrum Masters Turn AI Into a Thinking Partner, Not a Magic Answer Box Everybody talks about AI in theory. In this BONUS episode, Dave Westgarth talks about it in practice — the boring, everyday ways a Scrum Master and Agile Coach actually puts AI to work. From t-shirt sizing to sprint reports to a self-coded Monte Carlo forecaster, Dave shares what works, what doesn't, and the one mindset shift that separates people who get value from AI from those who just generate more noise. From "Magic Answer Box" to Personalised Partner "Instead of taking it as a magic answer box, using it as a personalised partner to work through problems, look at your ideas, and really hold them in the cold light of day before proposing things."   Dave came into agile from a development background, moved through project delivery, and had already worked at AI and ML companies long before ChatGPT made the technology personal and accessible. Like most people, he first met these tools as a "magic answer box" — ask a question, get an answer, run with it. The real shift came when he stopped optimizing for output and started using AI to drive better outcomes: ping the model, get a response, then interrogate it, refine the thinking, and go around again. The value isn't the first answer. It's the conversation that sharpens your own reasoning. These Tools Aren't Neutral — So Corner Them Into Being a Critic "If you ask it to be punishing, negative, and brutal, it gives you a lot more relevant feedback."   One of Dave's sharpest points: AI tools are not neutral guides. Because of their system prompts and the incentives baked in by the providers, they're relentlessly positive — they want to affirm you and keep you around, a little like social media. That makes them weak for anything where you need honest pushback: personas, user stories, feedback on ideas. Dave's fix is to flip it on its head. Rather than asking "is this any good?" (which reliably earns an "8 out of 10, but to make it a 10…"), he tells the model to be as harsh and brutal as it can and really try to punish the idea. You don't want a partner that always agrees with you — you want one that pinpoints the areas you haven't thought about. The First Real Time-Saver: Reports, and the Themes You Missed "Are there any themes that have emerged over the last 4 weeks that I might have missed in this latest deck?"   The first thing that stopped feeling like a party trick was the one we all know: project documentation and reporting — sprint reports, status updates, review decks. Instead of letting AI invent the structure, Dave feeds it his own structure plus Teams recordings, notes, and existing docs, and lets it populate the format he already uses. The trick that goes a level deeper: after several sprints, feed all the AI-assisted reports back in and ask what themes have emerged across the last four weeks that this latest deck might have missed. Again, it stops being an answer box and becomes a partner and critic. AI Is Part of the Job Now — Like Spreadsheets Once Were "The way to get ahead now is figure out how to use it as effectively as you can in your role."   Dave sees the early resistance movement against AI as a false economy. For delivery professionals — project managers, Scrum Masters, agile coaches — knowing how to use these tools well is fast becoming a core expectation, not a nice-to-have. Vasco draws the parallel to spreadsheets: once dismissed as too complicated and "not my kind of thing," until people started building real forecasting and capacity models with them and the work changed. AI is on the same arc — still a little mystical today, genuinely useful tomorrow, and eventually just another tool in the box. A Week With AI in the Loop "The power that these prompt-to-product tools give you to create these hyper-personalized tools that make you more effective is, in a lot of ways, magic."   Dave walked through what his week actually looks like with AI in the loop:   Monday primer: a scheduled ChatGPT task emails him a scene-set every Monday — last week's plan and top priorities — so he isn't spending the first half hour reconstructing where things stood. Priority calls: which items are the toughest, where the quick wins are, where he can get early traction, and where risks might be emerging that he can squash early. Everyday comms: drafting the bones of emails, pings, and project updates so he spends almost no time formatting. Prompt-to-product tools: using Base44, Lovable, and Replit to build his own tools — including a Monte Carlo forecaster that takes his team's sprint throughput and projects the remaining backlog, replacing an ugly spreadsheet with a clean web app. He also builds AI-powered widgets in Miro for retrospectives, mood check-ins, and planning poker.   The theme running through all of it: hyper-personalized tooling, shaped by your team and your own skills, rather than one-size-fits-all software. The Myth That AI Makes Scrum Masters Worse "I can't see any role of a knowledge worker where having an LLM at your disposal makes you less capable, less knowledgeable, less skilled than someone that doesn't."   Dave sees the same adoption spectrum among developers and Scrum Masters — from "I'll never touch it" to "I'll never write code by hand again." And he pushes back hard on an emerging prejudice that echoes the old "technical Scrum Masters are worse" debate: the idea that Scrum Masters who use AI are somehow weaker. Used well, AI lets you elevate your strengths and cover your gaps — a people-centered Scrum Master can become far more technical, and a technical one far more people-centered, each with a trusted teaching guide right there. The key competency isn't avoidance; it's discernment about when to reach for the tool and when not to. From More Output to Better Outcomes "The bottleneck has never really been typing code. The bottleneck has been understanding the problems and the customers well enough to define a solution that fixes them."   Dave's clearest reframe: AI is driving the price of output down. When volume is easy — more features, more emails, more documents on demand — churning out more of it stops being a differentiator, because everyone can do it. What matters is deciding which problems are worth solving and finding the most effective solution. Experienced agile professionals have always known the real bottleneck was understanding the customer well enough to define the right solution, not the typing. AI just exposes that in a much starker way: there's nowhere left to hide behind sheer volume. What to Pay Attention To — and a Monday Experiment "It can do a lot of that manual, low-thinking, high-effort work to free you up to do more of the really impactful stuff."   For Scrum Masters being told to "adopt AI," Dave's advice is to let it take the joyless work — the end-of-sprint collateral, the Jira monitoring, the reports and charts — so you can spend your time on the coaching, the strategic thinking, and the organizational-level impact that's harder to reach when you're buried in tactical chores. His concrete Monday-morning experiment: take the two or three prioritized actions from your next retrospective, bring them to ChatGPT or Claude, and ask, "which of these could you really help me with, and how could you help me move the needle?" Start a conversation. You don't have to accept its answers — the point is to sharpen your own thinking about where you can add the most value next sprint. Developing "Taste" With AI "One element of taste is being able to judge it fairly harshly — getting through the beige as quickly as you can to find the little nuggets and gems."   Both Dave and Vasco land on the same skill for the year ahead: taste. These tools produce a lot of text, and not all of it is useful. Vasco shares his own aha moment — asking for ideas, getting the obvious ones, then repeating "give me more, don't repeat any" until the model finally surfaced something genuinely unexpected. That simple move turns AI into an engine for exploring the solution space until something clicks. The competency to build is the ability to move through the beige quickly and recognize the gems that materially change what you do next.   About Dave Westgarth   Dave Westgarth is a product and Agile practitioner exploring how AI transforms product development, experimentation, and team workflows.

There's a lot of talk at the moment about the momentum in the Nordic tech scene. Companies like legal AI firm Legora and vibe coding startup Lovable continue to bring in megarounds.  But is the momentum spread across the region, or just confined to Stockholm? The Swedish capital has brought in the majority of funding in the region, thanks to Legora and Lovable, among others.This episode of the Sifted podcast comes live from TechBBQ in Copenhagen, Denmark. Host Freya Pratty is joined by Europe editor Mimi Billing to discuss the wider funding landscape across the Nordics, how Denmark compares to Sweden and what Stockholm is doing that other cities aren't.Sign to Sifted's newsletters here: https://sifted.eu/newslettersCheck out Sifted Summit here: https://summit.sifted.eu/

What if the biggest thing stopping you from building your next great idea is a limitation that AI has already made obsolete?Until recently, turning an idea into a working application meant developers, product teams, infrastructure, budgets, and plenty of technical expertise. Today, AI tools are dramatically lowering that barrier—and Bryce Rattner Keithley is proof.Bryce had no software-development background when she started experimenting with a simple idea: an app that would give her one exercise every day and track 100 repetitions. Using tools including Replit, Lovable, and Claude, that experiment became Daily100, an application now available in Apple's App Store.The lesson for business leaders goes well beyond building apps.You don't necessarily need to understand how every piece of technology works to start creating with it. You need to know what problem you're solving, ask good questions, exercise judgment, and be willing to iterate.In this session, you'll discover:How Bryce went from a simple personal problem to a working application without knowing how to code.How tools such as Replit and Lovable can turn plain-English instructions into functioning software.Why a beginner's mindset can actually become a competitive advantage when working with AI.Why asking AI to question you can dramatically improve your product requirements and decisions.How Claude helped her work through the process of preparing her Replit application for Apple's App Store.Why AI can get you to 80% remarkably quickly—and why the final 20% still requires human judgment.Why screenshots, sketches, and visual references can sometimes communicate your vision to AI better than another 500 words of prompting.Bryce Rattner Keithley has spent much of her career in talent and recruiting, including technical and design-related recruiting. Her experience working alongside technologists—without being a software developer herself—helped shape the beginner's mindset she brought to building Daily100.Connect with Bryce on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brycerattner/About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into a topic Hunter has been teaching and refining with his Mastermind and Modern Stylist Movement members for the past year: what has actually changed when it comes to building, optimizing, and maintaining a website as a hairstylist right now, and why what worked a few years ago is no longer enough.Hunter is honest that he hates building websites just as much as you do. But he is equally clear that if you want to attract high ticket clients and charge high ticket prices, your website has to look and perform the part. This episode covers exactly what that means in today's landscape.Key Takeaways:

Lovable CISO Igor Andriushchenko on soft guardrails vs. hard boundaries, securing vibe coding for non-developers, and building a security program at a 10x company.I sit down with Igor Andriushchenko, Head of Security and CISO at Lovable, the AI development platform behind one of the fastest growth stories in the space. Igor joined as the first security hire when the company was around 40 people. A year later he is running a 20+ person team covering product security, GRC, IT, and platform safety for a company with 400 laptops in MDM and no sign of slowing down.We get into what it actually takes to secure AI-native development, both inside a hypergrowth startup and on a platform where most of the people shipping software are not developers and definitely not security practitioners.In this episode:Building a security program for the company you will be in 12 months instead of the one you are in todaySoft guardrails versus hard guardrails, and how to decide which one a problem deservesWhy hard blocks push AI-assisted workflows into the shadowsRooting guardrail decisions in business goals, risks, and threats rather than tool defaultsDemocratized development without democratized security, and what a platform owes the 99%Lovable's auto-fix toggle, per-app threat models, and the goal of an app with no security tab at allWhether models will ever produce secure code by default, and why defense in depth still carries the loadGoverning the reality that every employee vibe coding an app looks a lot like a new vendorGRC engineering as the way to measure control efficiency layer by layer against AI-powered attackersCRA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act landing on citizen developers who never thought of themselves as software manufacturersChapters: 0:00 Intro 0:23 Igor's background from DevOps to CISO 3:54 Scaling security at a 10x company 6:07 Reinventing the team when growth breaks it 08:26 Soft guardrails versus hard blocks 14:05 Tying guardrails to business risk 17:32 Democratized development, undemocratized security 18:52 Shared responsibility on an AI dev platform 21:16 Auto-fix, per-app threat models, and no security tab 25:21 Will models produce secure code by default? 29:56 Every employee vibe coding is a new vendor 30:57 Enterprise controls, publishing gates, and PII scanning 36:39 AI-powered attackers and why good enough changed 40:43 GRC engineering and measuring control efficiency 46:19 CRA, NIS2, and the citizen developer 52:41 Trust centers for builder apps 54:08 Closing thoughts on the vibe coding communityGuest links: Igor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-andriushchenko Lovable: https://lovable.devResilient Cyber: Newsletter and episode archive: https://www.resilientcyber.io Subscribe for more conversations with security practitioners and leaders.

Lead Conversion expert Francis Rodino claims 15+ years working in sales and marketing, but as we'll find out, you can probably double that number. First in corporate, then building and scaling his own businesses. He's worked with 300+ clients across HVAC, engineering, construction, recruitment, and professional services.Francis is the bestselling author of Leads Machine - a practical guide to building consistent, predictable sales for service businesses. He's not a consultant who disappears after the strategy session. Francis is in the system, in the data, and on the calls.Summary of the PodcastKey TakeawaysCore Problem: Most businesses have a lead conversion problem, not a lead generation problem. They neglect the 95% of leads who aren't ready to buy immediately, leaving significant revenue on the table.Solution: Lead Hero uses a white-labeled HighLevel CRM, enhanced with AI agents, to automate lead nurture and follow-up. This "Freedom Tech" liberates teams from manual tasks and increases conversion rates.ROI: By improving conversion from 5% to 15%, a £10k ad spend can generate an extra £50k in revenue (£25k → £75k), adding a potential £1M annually without increasing the ad budget.Tech: Lead Hero's site uses Lovable, a fast React-based web app, for its agility in creating personalized pages for prospects, sacrificing some traditional SEO for speed.The Problem: Lead Conversion, Not GenerationLead Hero's premise: Most businesses have a lead conversion problem, not a lead problem.95% Gap: Businesses focus on the 3% of leads ready to buy now and neglect the other 95% who are not.9-Step "Leads Machine" System:Outlined in Rodino's book, Leads Machine.Focuses on deep market intelligence and customer journey mapping before investing in ads.Automation and AI accelerate a sound strategy; they cannot fix a broken one.The Solution: AI-Enhanced Lead NurtureLead Hero's service is a white-labeled HighLevel CRM pre-built with custom workflows and AI agents.Client Profile: High-volume lead businesses (trades, medical, SaaS) that live and die by leads.Implementation Process:Audit: Analyse the client's sales process and software gaps.Build: Install the custom CRM with automated scripts and cadences.Train: Onboard the client's team.Maintain: Provide ongoing tech support.Case Study (Simply Eco):Before: Manual, paper-based lead process.After: Automated CRM system.Result: Grew revenue from £15M to £25M in ~4 years.The Technology: Lovable & AI AgentsLead Hero's site uses Lovable, a React-based web app chosen for its speed and agility.Rationale: Prioritises fast creation of personalised pages for prospects over traditional SEO.AI Agent Use Cases:Database Reactivation: Re-engaging dormant leads with AI agents to answer questions and book calls.Webinar Follow-up: An AI agent on WhatsApp asks non-buyers why they didn't purchase, collecting valuable feedback to improve offers.

The real skill with AI tools isn't prompting. It's knowing when to stop prompting, when to step in, do it by hand, and hand the result back to the machine.Darshan Gajara is a design leader who actually ships. His latest is Beanpresso, a coffee journaling app built in Lovable, launched, and refined in the wild. In this episode he shares his screen and walks through the whole build, the real project, the prompt history, the dead ends, and the moments a designer's eye had to take over, from first idea to live product, plus how he's approaching monetisation and marketing as a solo maker.We get into:Starting in Lovable and only bringing in Figma once the idea took shape, "give it a designer's touch"Why you don't need to design whole flows anymore: get one page right and Lovable infers your design systemThe handoff problem: screenshots plus precise description, component by component, down to corner radiiThe SVG trick: when the animation kept breaking, he built the UI by hand, named every layer, exported an SVG and told Lovable to animate exactly that"I'm still a designer": choosing to do the branding by hand, and why some things are better that wayMonetising a side project: premium taste insights, and a roaster marketplace his own users suggestedMarketing by making: free tools, a Berlin coffee guide the roasters reshared, and an AI writing setup trained on his own styleGET THE APPBeanpresso, coffee journaling for people who take their beans seriously: https://beanpresso.comMY REFLECTIONSI share my personal takeaways from each episode in the d.MBA newsletter, what I actually learned and what I'm stealing for my own builds: https://d.mba/newsletterLINKSDarshan on LinkedIn:   / darshangajara  Product Disrupt, Darshan's design learning resource: https://productdisrupt.comDarshan's site: https://darshan.designd.MBA, business education for designers: https://d.mba00:00 – "They just keep banging their heads, burning through tokens"00:36 – Who Darshan is, and what this episode is really about01:36 – Interview starts: scratching his own itch.05:51 – App demo: scanning a bag, community feed, taste stats10:51 – Validating the idea (and why the existing coffee apps weren't good enough)14:12 – Version one: built straight in Lovable, no design15:54 – The prompting workflow: voice notes → Notion AI → Claude → Lovable18:21 – Why he dropped the native app and went web19:33 – Mood boarding with Variant, and finding the visual language23:54 – Naming it, and why AI is terrible at logos27:15 – What AI is good at, and what he had to do by hand30:45 – Taking the design back into Lovable, component by component33:27 – Building new flows once Lovable knows your design system36:36 – The SVG animation trick38:27 – Don't expect one tool to do everything42:06 – Monetisation: premium stats and a roaster marketplace45:45 – Distribution: small free tools, Instagram, and SEO49:15 – Where to find Beanpresso and Darshan

What if the keyboard is already obsolete and we just haven't told anyone yet?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick unpack eight takeaways from KP's breakfast with who he calls the smartest person he knows in AEC. The conversation spans how kids born today will interact with computers the same way we interact with abacuses, why LLMs finally let humans skip the translation layer entirely, and why construction is already sitting on the most valuable physical AI dataset in the world without realizing it.The deeper thread is about empathy. AI is galvanizing silos, not breaking them down. Everyone's getting more efficient in their own lane, but the 30% waste stays because no one is asking how their decisions affect the carpenter on the other end. KP floats a new term to replace "master builder": the project success manager. Not someone who tracks facts and reports delays, but someone who leads the project so every party wins. Then they pivot to what it means to invest in this era: stop looking for the best tech, start looking for people who can lead markets. There are only three voices leading AI right now. Why?Key questions answered:Why will KP's four-year-old view a keyboard the same way we view an abacus?What's the difference between transcribing voice and actually understanding it?Why does AEC already have the most valuable physical AI dataset and not know it?Why are LLMs making silos stronger instead of breaking them down?Has an architect ever asked AI how a design decision affects the carpenter? (The answer is no.)Why is CRUD software mostly busywork and what replaces it?What's the difference between humans in the loop and experts in the loop?What is a project success manager and why does it matter more than a project manager?Should KP hire someone with zero construction experience but amazing leadership ability?Why are only three people leading the AI market when there's so much talent?What does Brett Taylor have that most technical founders don't?Why does KP predict Lovable gets acquired?If you're in AEC wondering why your tools are getting better but your projects aren't, a founder trying to figure out what market leadership actually looks like, or an investor trying to update your mental model for what attributes matter most right now, this episode will challenge how you think about empathy, silos, and what it means to actually lead.Listen now.Join our AEC Summit - https://aecsummit.co/ - for a full-day event featuring developers, innovators, operators & business leaders and the massive new tech transforming the built environment!

Anthropics Investoren erwarten für Oktober einen Börsengang bei zwei Billionen Dollar, was der größte IPO aller Zeiten wäre. Pip erklärt, warum der Termin geschickt gewählt ist. Für OpenAI sieht er die Lage umgekehrt. Dort kommt der zweite Vertriebschef in einem Jahr. Zusammen mit Cerebras hat OpenAI dafür eine Variante gebaut, die vierzehnmal schneller antwortet. Danach vier Modellstarts in einer Woche, bei denen ausgerechnet DeepSeek die Preise um bis zu das Zwölffache erhöht, und Elon Musk sein neues Grok für objektiv das beste Modell hält. Bei den Finanzierungsrunden geht es um Databricks, Lovable, Legora und Cognition, dazu um die Frage, ob man das Geld gerade nehmen und liegen lassen sollte. Silver Lake holt Workday von der Börse. In der Schmuddelecke erlaubt die Trump-Regierung privaten Firmen offensive Cyberangriffe und beruft sich dabei auf Kaperbriefe aus der Verfassung.

Tahnoon Murtza, founding partner of [Grey Sheep Ventures], joins host KJ to challenge the assumptions holding traditional venture capital back. At 22, Tahnoon is one of the youngest emerging fund managers in the game, and he argues that the old VC playbook, built on proprietary tech and institutional gatekeeping, no longer fits the world AI has created. His thesis centers on distribution, influence, and authentic founder relationships as the new moat. The conversation covers why legacy funds are losing deals to scrappier, more connected investors, and what a punk rock ethos has to do with building a better fund. Key Takeaways: 1:00 — What killed proprietary tech as a startup moat 6:07 — How distribution and social influence replaced the old investment thesis 7:50 – Who is getting left out of VC decisions and why it matters 11:07 — When investors flip the power dynamic, founders take notice Quote of the Show (23:33):"If you want to build something authentic, it takes copious effort, it takes obsession, it takes a consuming amount of time. And if you're going to commit to that, you want a VC partner who's going to put the same effort into your company that you are." – Tahnoon Murtza Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In the latest episode of Executive Function, Brett sits down with Lindsey Scrase, COO of Checkr. Before joining Checkr as CRO and later stepping into the COO seat, Lindsey spent nearly a decade at Google Cloud as global managing director for SMB, mid-market, and startups. In this conversation, she breaks down why moving upmarket into enterprise trips up so many startups looking to scale, how Checkr rebuilt its sales compensation model to keep pace with growth, and where AI is already reshaping her operations and go-to-market teams. In today's episode, we discuss: Why operators who thrive at massive-scale companies often struggle when they join a startup The hard-won lessons from Checkr's early enterprise push that nearly failed Why Checkr's C-suite meets every morning with no specific agenda The surprising challenges moving from CRO to COO How Checkr turned AI experiments into operating systems References Amazon: https://www.amazon.com Checkr: https://checkr.com Claude: https://claude.com Daniel Yanisse: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yanisse/ DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com Google: https://www.google.com Lovable: https://lovable.dev Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com Where to find Lindsey LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-scrase-0702442/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Lscrase 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 00:06 Why big-company executives often struggle in startups 02:18 What Checkr's first CRO needed to accomplish 03:33 How to take on an entrenched category leader 06:58 Why leaders underestimate how hard the jump to enterprise really is 10:23 Separating a true deal-blocker from a customer's nice-to-have request 18:30 Why Lindsey hired enterprise-scarred sales leader over a market leader's résumé 22:08 The biggest challenges of moving from CRO to COO 28:03 Why Checkr names a single decision-maker for every major decision 34:42 Why Checkr rebuilt their sales compensation model 40:39 What actually separates a team's best seller from everyone else 45:03 Inside Checkr's daily, no-agenda, c-suite meeting 50:23 How following data can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction 57:27 Why hitting 130% of a goal isn't always a good thing 58:57 Where AI has changed how Checkr's teams operate day to day 1:04:33 Advice for all aspiring COOs

If someone handed your competitor every prompt, workflow and AI system you use today, would you still have an advantage?   That is the question that opens this live roundtable, recorded in a sealed room at the first Founder AI Studio Live in Toronto. Ten women who are not just using AI but building with it: intellectual property strategists, AI educators, investors, community builders, and operators who have built and exited companies.   No keynote. No panel. Just founders comparing notes from the front line.   IP lawyer Andrea Bolden takes on the part most founders get wrong: whether your prompts, workflows and custom GPTs count as intellectual property, why switching off the training toggle is not the protection you think it is, why people trademark a name while giving away the entire body of work underneath it, and which AI tools will actually indemnify you if you get sued.   The room also gets into what happens to knowledge businesses when knowledge stops being scarce, why AI-native builds beat AI retrofits, the environmental cost nobody wants to raise, the risk of putting your child's face into these systems, and the six companies capturing most of the value from all of it.   It ends with a lightning round on the one tool each founder actually uses.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Context: what this room was 01:35 Not a keynote, not a panel 02:16 The question: would you still have an advantage? 03:09 Forty-five products that all do the same thing 05:46 Being the tastemaker 07:54 AI as a democratizing force 10:03 AI-native builds vs. AI retrofits 11:00 The contractor line item that changed everything 14:24 From "done for you" to "done for you-ish" 16:01 Building instead of talking about building 18:35 The real unlock is the speed of learning 23:00 If you sell knowledge, what are you selling now? 24:42 Dyslexia, ADHD and AI as a translation layer 28:22 Are your prompts and GPTs your IP? 29:28 The training toggle myth 30:30 Trademarking the name, losing the body of work 32:15 Tim Ferriss and what is already public 34:08 Can AI legally be an author? 35:32 Which AI tools will indemnify you 37:03 Writing a book with AI 39:27 Just because AI can, should it? 43:14 Share the why, not the whole how 44:00 The one thing to do next week 45:22 Canada's AI strategy and where the money is going 47:32 Environmental impact and who absorbs it 49:55 Your child's face inside an LLM 50:52 Sycophancy and outsourced thinking 51:58 What work do we reserve for humans? 54:16 Six companies and who holds the stake 56:14 Lightning round: the one tool 1:01:27 The advantage was never the tool   TOOLS MENTIONED Claude / Claude Code / Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Lovable, Gamma, Codex, DeepSeek, Kling, Go High Level   LINKS Next Founder AI Studio Live   IN THE ROOM Host: Monique Bryan, Brand Authority Strategist Featuring: Andrea Bolden, IP and business lawyer   PARTNERS Captured by Perspective Studio Productions Presented in partnership with BDC Capital, Inclusive Entrepreneurship   Founder AI Studio Live is an invite-only working session for established women founders already building with AI.

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.
