Turbopuffer came out of a reading app.In 2022, Simon was helping his friends at Readwise scale their infra for a highly requested feature: article recommendations and semantic search. Readwise was paying ~$5k/month for their relational database and vector search would cost ~$20k/month making the feature too expensive to ship. In 2023 after mulling over the problem from Readwise, Simon decided he wanted to “build a search engine” which became Turbopuffer.We discuss:• Simon's path: Denmark → Shopify infra for nearly a decade → “angel engineering” across startups like Readwise, Replicate, and Causal → turbopuffer almost accidentally becoming a company • The Readwise origin story: building an early recommendation engine right after the ChatGPT moment, seeing it work, then realizing it would cost ~$30k/month for a company spending ~$5k/month total on infra and getting obsessed with fixing that cost structure • Why turbopuffer is “a search engine for unstructured data”: Simon's belief that models can learn to reason, but can't compress the world's knowledge into a few terabytes of weights, so they need to connect to systems that hold truth in full fidelity • The three ingredients for building a great database company: a new workload, a new storage architecture, and the ability to eventually support every query plan customers will want on their data • The architecture bet behind turbopuffer: going all in on object storage and NVMe, avoiding a traditional consensus layer, and building around the cloud primitives that only became possible in the last few years • Why Simon hated operating Elasticsearch at Shopify: years of painful on-call experience shaped his obsession with simplicity, performance, and eliminating state spread across multiple systems • The Cursor story: launching turbopuffer as a scrappy side project, getting an email from Cursor the next day, flying out after a 4am call, and helping cut Cursor's costs by 95% while fixing their per-user economics • The Notion story: buying dark fiber, tuning TCP windows, and eating cross-cloud costs because Simon refused to compromise on architecture just to close a deal faster • Why AI changes the build-vs-buy equation: it's less about whether a company can build search infra internally, and more about whether they have time especially if an external team can feel like an extension of their own • Why RAG isn't dead: coding companies still rely heavily on search, and Simon sees hybrid retrieval semantic, text, regex, SQL-style patterns becoming more important, not less • How agentic workloads are changing search: the old pattern was one retrieval call up front; the new pattern is one agent firing many parallel queries at once, turning search into a highly concurrent tool call • Why turbopuffer is reducing query pricing: agentic systems are dramatically increasing query volume, and Simon expects retrieval infra to adapt to huge bursts of concurrent search rather than a small number of carefully chosen calls • The philosophy of “playing with open cards”: Simon's habit of being radically honest with investors, including telling Lachy Groom he'd return the money if turbopuffer didn't hit PMF by year-end • The “P99 engineer”: Simon's framework for building a talent-dense company, rejecting by default unless someone on the team feels strongly enough to fight for the candidate —Simon Hørup Eskildsen• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sirupsen• X: https://x.com/Sirupsen• https://sirupsen.com/aboutturbopuffer• https://turbopuffer.com/Full Video PodTimestamps00:00:00 The PMF promise to Lachy Groom00:00:25 Intro and Simon's background00:02:19 What turbopuffer actually is00:06:26 Shopify, Elasticsearch, and the pain behind the company00:10:07 The Readwise experiment that sparked turbopuffer00:12:00 The insight Simon couldn't stop thinking about00:17:00 S3 consistency, NVMe, and the architecture bet00:20:12 The Notion story: latency, dark fiber, and conviction00:25:03 Build vs. buy in the age of AI00:26:00 The Cursor story: early launch to breakout customer00:29:00 Why code search still matters00:32:00 Search in the age of agents00:34:22 Pricing turbopuffer in the AI era00:38:17 Why Simon chose Lachy Groom00:41:28 Becoming a founder on purpose00:44:00 The “P99 engineer” philosophy00:49:30 Bending software to your will00:51:13 The future of turbopuffer00:57:05 Simon's tea obsession00:59:03 Tea kits, X Live, and P99 LiveTranscriptSimon Hørup Eskildsen: I don't think I've said this publicly before, but I just called Lockey and was like, local Lockie. Like if this doesn't have PMF by the end of the year, like we'll just like return all the money to you. But it's just like, I don't really, we, Justine and I don't wanna work on this unless it's really working.So we want to give it the best shot this year and like we're really gonna go for it. We're gonna hire a bunch of people. We're just gonna be honest with everyone. Like when I don't know how to play a game, I just play with open cards. Lockey was the only person that didn't, that didn't freak out. He was like, I've never heard anyone say that before.Alessio: Hey everyone, welcome to the Leading Space podcast. This is Celesio Pando, Colonel Laz, and I'm joined by Swix, editor of Leading Space.swyx: Hello. Hello, uh, we're still, uh, recording in the Ker studio for the first time. Very excited. And today we are joined by Simon Eski. Of Turbo Farer welcome.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Thank you so much for having me.swyx: Turbo Farer has like really gone on a huge tear, and I, I do have to mention that like you're one of, you're not my newest member of the Danish AHU Mafia, where like there's a lot of legendary programmers that have come out of it, like, uh, beyond Trotro, Rasmus, lado Berg and the V eight team and, and Google Maps team.Uh, you're mostly a Canadian now, but isn't that interesting? There's so many, so much like strong Danish presence.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah, I was writing a post, um, not that long ago about sort of the influences. So I grew up in Denmark, right? I left, I left when, when I was 18 to go to Canada to, to work at Shopify. Um, and so I, like, I've, I would still say that I feel more Danish than, than Canadian.This is also the weird accent. I can't say th because it, this is like, I don't, you know, my wife is also Canadian, um, and I think. I think like one of the things in, in Denmark is just like, there's just such a ruthless pragmatism and there's also a big focus on just aesthetics. Like, they're like very, people really care about like where, what things look like.Um, and like Canada has a lot of attributes, US has, has a lot of attributes, but I think there's been lots of the great things to carry. I don't know what's in the water in Ahu though. Um, and I don't know that I could be considered part of the Mafi mafia quite yet, uh, compared to the phenomenal individuals we just mentioned.Barra OV is also, uh, Danish Canadian. Okay. Yeah. I don't know where he lives now, but, and he's the PHP.swyx: Yeah. And obviously Toby German, but moved to Canada as well. Yes. Like this is like import that, uh, that, that is an interesting, um, talent move.Alessio: I think. I would love to get from you. Definition of Turbo puffer, because I think you could be a Vector db, which is maybe a bad word now in some circles, you could be a search engine.It's like, let, let's just start there and then we'll maybe run through the history of how you got to this point.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: For sure. Yeah. So Turbo Puffer is at this point in time, a search engine, right? We do full text search and we do vector search, and that's really what we're specialized in. If you're trying to do much more than that, like then this might not be the right place yet, but Turbo Buffer is all about search.The other way that I think about it is that we can take all of the world's knowledge, all of the exabytes and exabytes of data that there is, and we can use those tokens to train a model, but we can't compress all of that into a few terabytes of weights, right? Compress into a few terabytes of weights, how to reason with the world, how to make sense of the knowledge.But we have to somehow connect it to something externally that actually holds that like in full fidelity and truth. Um, and that's the thing that we intend to become. Right? That's like a very holier than now kind of phrasing, right? But being the search engine for unstructured, unstructured data is the focus of turbo puffer at this point in time.Alessio: And let's break down. So people might say, well, didn't Elasticsearch already do this? And then some other people might say, is this search on my data, is this like closer to rag than to like a xr, like a public search thing? Like how, how do you segment like the different types of search?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: The way that I generally think about this is like, there's a lot of database companies and I think if you wanna build a really big database company, sort of, you need a couple of ingredients to be in the air.We don't, which only happens roughly every 15 years. You need a new workload. You basically need the ambition that every single company on earth is gonna have data in your database. Multiple times you look at a company like Oracle, right? You will, like, I don't think you can find a company on earth with a digital presence that it not, doesn't somehow have some data in an Oracle database.Right? And I think at this point, that's also true for Snowflake and Databricks, right? 15 years later it's, or even more than that, there's not a company on earth that doesn't, in. Or directly is consuming Snowflake or, or Databricks or any of the big analytics databases. Um, and I think we're in that kind of moment now, right?I don't think you're gonna find a company over the next few years that doesn't directly or indirectly, um, have all their data available for, for search and connect it to ai. So you need that new workload, like you need something to be happening where there's a new workload that causes that to happen, and that new workload is connecting very large amounts of data to ai.The second thing you need. The second condition to build a big database company is that you need some new underlying change in the storage architecture that is not possible from the databases that have come before you. If you look at Snowflake and Databricks, right, commoditized, like massive fleet of HDDs, like that was not possible in it.It just wasn't in the air in the nineties, right? So you just didn't, we just didn't build these systems. S3 and and and so on was not around. And I think the architecture that is now possible that wasn't possible 15 years ago is to go all in on NVME SSDs. It requires a particular type of architecture for the database that.It's difficult to retrofit onto the databases that are already there, including the ones you just mentioned. The second thing is to go all in on OIC storage, more so than we could have done 15 years ago. Like we don't have a consensus layer, we don't really have anything. In fact, you could turn off all the servers that Turbo Buffer has, and we would not lose any data because we have all completely all in on OIC storage.And this means that our architecture is just so simple. So that's the second condition, right? First being a new workload. That means that every company on earth, either indirectly or directly, is using your database. Second being, there's some new storage architecture. That means that the, the companies that have come before you can do what you're doing.I think the third thing you need to do to build a big database company is that over time you have to implement more or less every Cory plan on the data. What that means is that you. You can't just get stuck in, like, this is the one thing that a database does. It has to be ever evolving because when someone has data in the database, they over time expect to be able to ask it more or less every question.So you have to do that to get the storage architecture to the limit of what, what it's capable of. Those are the three conditions.swyx: I just wanted to get a little bit of like the motivation, right? Like, so you left Shopify, you're like principal, engineer, infra guy. Um, you also head of kernel labs, uh, inside of Shopify, right?And then you consulted for read wise and that it kind of gave you that, that idea. I just wanted you to tell that story. Um, maybe I, you've told it before, but, uh, just introduce the, the. People to like the, the new workload, the sort of aha moment for turbo PufferSimon Hørup Eskildsen: For sure. So yeah, I spent almost a decade at Shopify.I was on the infrastructure team, um, from the fairly, fairly early days around 2013. Um, at the time it felt like it was growing so quickly and everything, all the metrics were, you know, doubling year on year compared to the, what companies are contending with today. It's very cute in growth. I feel like lot some companies are seeing that month over month.Um, of course. Shopify compound has been compounding for a very long time now, but I spent a decade doing that and the majority of that was just make sure the site is up today and make sure it's up a year from now. And a lot of that was really just the, um, you know, uh, the Kardashians would drive very, very large amounts of, of data to, to uh, to Shopify as they were rotating through all the merch and building out their businesses.And we just needed to make sure we could handle that. Right. And sometimes these were events, a million requests per second. And so, you know, we, we had our own data centers back in the day and we were moving to the cloud and there was so much sharding work and all of that that we were doing. So I spent a decade just scaling databases ‘cause that's fundamentally what's the most difficult thing to scale about these sites.The database that was the most difficult for me to scale during that time, and that was the most aggravating to be on call for, was elastic search. It was very, very difficult to deal with. And I saw a lot of projects that were just being held back in their ambition by using it.swyx: And I mean, self-hosted.Self-hosted. ‘causeSimon Hørup Eskildsen: it's, yeah, and it commercial, this is like 2015, right? So it's like a very particular vintage. Right. It's probably better at a lot of these things now. Um, it was difficult to contend with and I'm just like, I just think about it. It's an inverted index. It should be good at these kinds of queries and do all of this.And it was, we, we often couldn't get it to do exactly what we needed to do or basically get lucine to do, like expose lucine raw to, to, to what we needed to do. Um, so that was like. Just something that we did on the side and just panic scaled when we needed to, but not a particular focus of mine. So I left, and when I left, I, um, wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do.I mean, it spent like a decade inside of the same company. I'd like grown up there. I started working there when I was 18.swyx: You only do Rails?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah. I mean, yeah. Rails. And he's a Rails guy. Uh, love Rails. So good. Um,Alessio: we all wish we could still work in Rails.swyx: I know know. I know, but some, I tried learning Ruby.It's just too much, like too many options to do the same thing. It's, that's my, I I know there's a, there's a way to do it.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I love it. I don't know that I would use it now, like given cloud code and, and, and cursor and everything, but, um, um, but still it, like if I'm just sitting down and writing a teal code, that's how I think.But anyway, I left and I wasn't, I talked to a couple companies and I was like, I don't. I need to see a little bit more of the world here to know what I'm gonna like focus on next. Um, and so what I decided is like I was gonna, I called it like angel engineering, where I just hopped around in my friend's companies in three months increments and just helped them out with something.Right. And, and just vested a bit of equity and solved some interesting infrastructure problem. So I worked with a bunch of companies at the time, um, read Wise was one of them. Replicate was one of them. Um, causal, I dunno if you've tried this, it's like a, it's a spreadsheet engine Yeah. Where you can do distribution.They sold recently. Yeah. Um, we've been, we used that in fp and a at, um, at Turbo Puffer. Um, so a bunch of companies like this and it was super fun. And so we're the Chachi bt moment happened, I was with. With read Wise for a stint, we were preparing for the reader launch, right? Which is where you, you cue articles and read them later.And I was just getting their Postgres up to snuff, like, which basically boils down to tuning, auto vacuum. So I was doing that and then this happened and we were like, oh, maybe we should build a little recommendation engine and some features to try to hook in the lms. They were not that good yet, but it was clear there was something there.And so I built a small recommendation engine just, okay, let's take the articles that you've recently read, right? Like embed all the articles and then do recommendations. It was good enough that when I ran it on one of the co-founders of Rey's, like I found out that I got articles about, about having a child.I'm like, oh my God, I didn't, I, I didn't know that, that they were having a child. I wasn't sure what to do with that information, but the recommendation engine was good enough that it was suggesting articles, um, about that. And so there was, there was recommendations and uh, it actually worked really well.But this was a company that was spending maybe five grand a month in total on all their infrastructure and. When I did the napkin math on running the embeddings of all the articles, putting them into a vector index, putting it in prod, it's gonna be like 30 grand a month. That just wasn't tenable. Right?Like Read Wise is a proudly bootstrapped company and it's paying 30 grand for infrastructure for one feature versus five. It just wasn't tenable. So sort of in the bucket of this is useful, it's pretty good, but let us, let's return to it when the costs come down.swyx: Did you say it grows by feature? So for five to 30 is by the number of, like, what's the, what's the Scaling factor scale?It scales by the number of articles that you embed.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: It does, but what I meant by that is like five grand for like all of the other, like the Heroku, dinos, Postgres, like all the other, and this then storage is 30. Yeah. And then like 30 grand for one feature. Right. Which is like, what other articles are related to this one.Um, so it was just too much right to, to power everything. Their budget would've been maybe a few thousand dollars, which still would've been a lot. And so we put it in a bucket of, okay, we're gonna do that later. We'll wait, we will wait for the cost to come down. And that haunted me. I couldn't stop thinking about it.I was like, okay, there's clearly some latent demand here. If the cost had been a 10th, we would've shipped it and. This was really the only data point that I had. Right. I didn't, I, I didn't, I didn't go out and talk to anyone else. It was just so I started reading Right. I couldn't, I couldn't help myself.Like I didn't know what like a vector index is. I, I generally barely do about how to generate the vectors. There was a lot of hype about, this is a early 2023. There was a lot of hype about vector databases. There were raising a lot of money and it's like, I really didn't know anything about it. It's like, you know, trying these little models, fine tuning them.Like I was just trying to get sort of a lay of the land. So I just sat down. I have this. A GitHub repository called Napkin Math. And on napkin math, there's just, um, rows of like, oh, this is how much bandwidth. Like this is how many, you know, you can do 25 gigabytes per second on average to dram. You can do, you know, five gigabytes per second of rights to an SSD, blah blah.All of these numbers, right? And S3, how many you could do per, how much bandwidth can you drive per connection? I was just sitting down, I was like, why hasn't anyone build a database where you just put everything on O storage and then you puff it into NVME when you use the data and you puff it into dram if you're, if you're querying it alive, it's just like, this seems fairly obvious and you, the only real downside to that is that if you go all in on o storage, every right will take a couple hundred milliseconds of latency, but from there it's really all upside, right?You do the first go, it takes half a second. And it sort of occurred to me as like, well. The architecture is really good for that. It's really good for AB storage, it's really good for nvm ESSD. It's, well, you just couldn't have done that 10 years ago. Back to what we were talking about before. You really have to build a database where you have as few round trips as possible, right?This is how CPUs work today. It's how NVM E SSDs work. It's how as, um, as three works that you want to have a very large amount of outstanding requests, right? Like basically go to S3, do like that thousand requests to ask for data in one round trip. Wait for that. Get that, like, make a new decision. Do it again, and try to do that maybe a maximum of three times.But no databases were designed that way within NVME as is ds. You can drive like within, you know, within a very low multiple of DRAM bandwidth if you use it that way. And same with S3, right? You can fully max out the network card, which generally is not maxed out. You get very, like, very, very good bandwidth.And, but no one had built a database like that. So I was like, okay, well can't you just, you know, take all the vectors right? And plot them in the proverbial coordinate system. Get the clusters, put a file on S3 called clusters, do json, and then put another file for every cluster, you know, cluster one, do js O cluster two, do js ON you know that like it's two round trips, right?So you get the clusters, you find the closest clusters, and then you download the cluster files like the, the closest end. And you could do this in two round trips.swyx: You were nearest neighbors locally.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yes. Yes. And then, and you would build this, this file, right? It's just like ultra simplistic, but it's not a far shot from what the first version of Turbo Buffer was.Why hasn't anyone done thatAlessio: in that moment? From a workload perspective, you're thinking this is gonna be like a read heavy thing because they're doing recommend. Like is the fact that like writes are so expensive now? Oh, with ai you're actually not writing that much.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: At that point I hadn't really thought too much about, well no actually it was always clear to me that there was gonna be a lot of rights because at Shopify, the search clusters were doing, you know, I don't know, tens or hundreds of crew QPS, right?‘cause you just have to have a human sit and type in. But we did, you know, I don't know how many updates there were per second. I'm sure it was in the millions, right into the cluster. So I always knew there was like a 10 to 100 ratio on the read write. In the read wise use case. It's, um, even, even in the read wise use case, there'd probably be a lot fewer reads than writes, right?There's just a lot of churn on the amount of stuff that was going through versus the amount of queries. Um, I wasn't thinking too much about that. I was mostly just thinking about what's the fundamentally cheapest way to build a database in the cloud today using the primitives that you have available.And this is it, right? You just, now you have one machine and you know, let's say you have a terabyte of data in S3, you paid the $200 a month for that, and then maybe five to 10% of that data and needs to be an NV ME SSDs and less than that in dram. Well. You're paying very, very little to inflate the data.swyx: By the way, when you say no one else has done that, uh, would you consider Neon, uh, to be on a similar path in terms of being sort of S3 first and, uh, separating the compute and storage?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah, I think what I meant with that is, uh, just build a completely new database. I don't know if we were the first, like it was very much, it was, I mean, I, I hadn't, I just looked at the napkin math and was like, this seems really obvious.So I'm sure like a hundred people came up with it at the same time. Like the light bulb and every invention ever. Right. It was just in the air. I think Neon Neon was, was first to it. And they're trying, they're retrofitted onto Postgres, right? And then they built this whole architecture where you have, you have it in memory and then you sort of.You know, m map back to S3. And I think that was very novel at the time to do it for, for all LTP, but I hadn't seen a database that was truly all in, right. Not retrofitting it. The database felt built purely for this no consensus layer. Even using compare and swap on optic storage to do consensus. I hadn't seen anyone go that all in.And I, I mean, there, there, I'm sure there was someone that did that before us. I don't know. I was just looking at the napkin mathswyx: and, and when you say consensus layer, uh, are you strongly relying on S3 Strong consistency? You are. Okay.SoSimon Hørup Eskildsen: that is your consensus layer. It, it is the consistency layer. And I think also, like, this is something that most people don't realize, but S3 only became consistent in December of 2020.swyx: I remember this coming out during COVID and like people were like, oh, like, it was like, uh, it was just like a free upgrade.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah.swyx: They were just, they just announced it. We saw consistency guys and like, okay, cool.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: And I'm sure that they just, they probably had it in prod for a while and they're just like, it's done right.And people were like, okay, cool. But. That's a big moment, right? Like nv, ME SSDs, were also not in the cloud until around 2017, right? So you just sort of had like 2017 nv, ME SSDs, and people were like, okay, cool. There's like one skew that does this, whatever, right? Takes a few years. And then the second thing is like S3 becomes consistent in 2020.So now it means you don't have to have this like big foundation DB or like zookeeper or whatever sitting there contending with the keys, which is how. You know, that's what Snowflake and others have do so muchswyx: for goneSimon Hørup Eskildsen: Exactly. Just gone. Right? And so just push to the, you know, whatever, how many hundreds of people they have working on S3 solved and then compare and swap was not in S3 at this point in time,swyx: by the way.Uh, I don't know what that is, so maybe you wanna explain. Yes. Yeah.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yes. So, um, what Compare and swap is, is basically, you can imagine that if you have a database, it might be really nice to have a file called metadata json. And metadata JSON could say things like, Hey, these keys are here and this file means that, and there's lots of metadata that you have to operate in the database, right?But that's the simplest way to do it. So now you have might, you might have a lot of servers that wanna change the metadata. They might have written a file and want the metadata to contain that file. But you have a hundred nodes that are trying to contend with this metadata that JSON well, what compare and Swap allows you to do is basically just you download the file, you make the modifications, and then you write it only if it hasn't changed.While you did the modification and if not you retry. Right? Should just have this retry loops. Now you can imagine if you have a hundred nodes doing that, it's gonna be really slow, but it will converge over time. That primitive was not available in S3. It wasn't available in S3 until late 2024, but it was available in GCP.The real story of this is certainly not that I sat down and like bake brained it. I was like, okay, we're gonna start on GCS S3 is gonna get it later. Like it was really not that we started, we got really lucky, like we started on GCP and we started on GCP because tur um, Shopify ran on GCP. And so that was the platform I was most available with.Right. Um, and I knew the Canadian team there ‘cause I'd worked with them at Shopify and so it was natural for us to start there. And so when we started building the database, we're like, oh yeah, we have to build a, we really thought we had to build a consensus layer, like have a zookeeper or something to do this.But then we discovered the compare and swap. It's like, oh, we can kick the can. Like we'll just do metadata r json and just, it's fine. It's probably fine. Um, and we just kept kicking the can until we had very, very strong conviction in the idea. Um, and then we kind of just hinged the company on the fact that S3 probably was gonna get this, it started getting really painful in like mid 2024.‘cause we were closing deals with, um, um, notion actually that was running in AWS and we're like, trust us. You, you really want us to run this in GCP? And they're like, no, I don't know about that. Like, we're running everything in AWS and the latency across the cloud were so big and we had so much conviction that we bought like, you know, dark fiber between the AWS regions in, in Oregon, like in the InterExchange and GCP is like, we've never seen a startup like do like, what's going on here?And we're just like, no, we don't wanna do this. We were tuning like TCP windows, like everything to get the latency down ‘cause we had so high conviction in not doing like a, a metadata layer on S3. So those were the three conditions, right? Compare and swap. To do metadata, which wasn't in S3 until late 2024 S3 being consistent, which didn't happen until December, 2020.Uh, 2020. And then NVMe ssd, which didn't end in the cloud until 2017.swyx: I mean, in some ways, like a very big like cloud success story that like you were able to like, uh, put this all together, but also doing things like doing, uh, bind our favor. That that actually is something I've never heard.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I mean, it's very common when you're a big company, right?You're like connecting your own like data center or whatever. But it's like, it was uniquely just a pain with notion because the, um, the org, like most of the, like if you're buying in Ashburn, Virginia, right? Like US East, the Google, like the GCP and, and AWS data centers are like within a millisecond on, on each other, on the public exchanges.But in Oregon uniquely, the GCP data center sits like a couple hundred kilometers, like east of Portland and the AWS region sits in Portland, but the network exchange they go through is through Seattle. So it's like a full, like 14 milliseconds or something like that. And so anyway, yeah. It's, it's, so we were like, okay, we can't, we have to go through an exchange in Portland.Yeah. Andswyx: you'd rather do this than like run your zookeeper and likeSimon Hørup Eskildsen: Yes. Way rather. It doesn't have state, I don't want state and two systems. Um, and I think all that is just informed by Justine, my co-founder and I had just been on call for so long. And the worst outages are the ones where you have state in multiple places that's not syncing up.So it really came from, from a a, like just a, a very pure source of pain, of just imagining what we would be Okay. Being woken up at 3:00 AM about and having something in zookeeper was not one of them.swyx: You, you're talking to like a notion or something. Do they care or do they just, theySimon Hørup Eskildsen: just, they care about latency.swyx: They latency cost. That's it.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: They just cared about latency. Right. And we just absorbed the cost. We're just like, we have high conviction in this. At some point we can move them to AWS. Right. And so we just, we, we'll buy the fiber, it doesn't matter. Right. Um, and it's like $5,000. Usually when you buy fiber, you buy like multiple lines.And we're like, we can only afford one, but we will just test it that when it goes over the public internet, it's like super smooth. And so we did a lot of, anyway, it's, yeah, it was, that's cool.Alessio: You can imagine talking to the GCP rep and it's like, no, we're gonna buy, because we know we're gonna turn, we're gonna turn from you guys and go to AWS in like six months.But in the meantime we'll do this. It'sSimon Hørup Eskildsen: a, I mean, like they, you know, this workload still runs on GCP for what it's worth. Right? ‘cause it's so, it was just, it was so reliable. So it was never about moving off GCP, it was just about honesty. It was just about giving notion the latency that they deserved.Right. Um, and we didn't want ‘em to have to care about any of this. We also, they were like, oh, egress is gonna be bad. It was like, okay, screw it. Like we're just gonna like vvc, VPC peer with you and AWS we'll eat the cost. Yeah. Whatever needs to be done.Alessio: And what were the actual workloads? Because I think when you think about ai, it's like 14 milliseconds.It's like really doesn't really matter in the scheme of like a model generation.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah. We were told the latency, right. That we had to beat. Oh, right. So, so we're just looking at the traces. Right. And then sort of like hand draw, like, you know, kind of like looking at the trace and then thinking what are the other extensions of the trace?Right. And there's a lot more to it because it's also when you have, if you have 14 versus seven milliseconds, right. You can fit in another round trip. So we had to tune TCP to try to send as much data in every round trip, prewarm all the connections. And there was, there's a lot of things that compound from having these kinds of round trips, but in the grand scheme it was just like, well, we have to beat the latency of whatever we're up against.swyx: Which is like they, I mean, notion is a database company. They could have done this themselves. They, they do lots of database engineering themselves. How do you even get in the door? Like Yeah, just like talk through that kind of.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Last time I was in San Francisco, I was talking to one of the engineers actually, who, who was one of our champions, um, at, AT Notion.And they were, they were just trying to make sure that the, you know, per user cost matched the economics that they needed. You know, Uhhuh like, it's like the way I think about, it's like I have to earn a return on whatever the clouds charge me and then my customers have to earn a return on that. And it's like very simple, right?And so there has to be gross margin all the way up and that's how you build the product. And so then our customers have to make the right set of trade off the turbo Puffer makes, and if they're happy with that, that's great.swyx: Do you feel like you're competing with build internally versus buy or buy versus buy?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah, so, sorry, this was all to build up to your question. So one of the notion engineers told me that they'd sat and probably on a napkin, like drawn out like, why hasn't anyone built this? And then they saw terrible. It was like, well, it literally that. So, and I think AI has also changed the buy versus build equation in terms of, it's not really about can we build it, it's about do we have time to build it?I think they like, I think they felt like, okay, if this is a team that can do that and they, they feel enough like an extension of our team, well then we can go a lot faster, which would be very, very good for them. And I mean, they put us through the, through the test, right? Like we had some very, very long nights to to, to do that POC.And they were really our biggest, our second big customer off the cursor, which also was a lot of late nights. Right.swyx: Yeah. That, I mean, should we go into that story? The, the, the sort of Chris's story, like a lot, um, they credit you a lot for. Working very closely with them. So I just wanna hear, I've heard this, uh, story from Sole's point of view, but like, I'm curious what, what it looks like from your side.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I actually haven't heard it from Sole's point of view, so maybe you can now cross reference it. The way that I remember it was that, um, the day after we launched, which was just, you know, I'd worked the whole summer on, on the first version. Justine wasn't part of it yet. ‘cause I just, I didn't tell anyone that summer that I was working on this.I was just locked in on building it because it's very easy otherwise to confuse talking about something to actually doing it. And so I was just like, I'm not gonna do that. I'm just gonna do the thing. I launched it and at this point turbo puffer is like a rust binary running on a single eight core machine in a T Marks instance.And me deploying it was like looking at the request log and then like command seeing it or like control seeing it to just like, okay, there's no request. Let's upgrade the binary. Like it was like literally the, the, the, the scrappiest thing. You could imagine it was on purpose because just like at Shopify, we did that all the time.Like, we like move, like we ran things in tux all the time to begin with. Before something had like, at least the inkling of PMF, it was like, okay, is anyone gonna hear about this? Um, and one of the cursor co-founders Arvid reached out and he just, you know, the, the cursor team are like all I-O-I-I-M-O like, um, contenders, right?So they just speak in bullet points and, and facts. It was like this amazing email exchange just of, this is how many QPS we have, this is what we're paying, this is where we're going, blah, blah, blah. And so we're just conversing in bullet points. And I tried to get a call with them a few times, but they were, so, they were like really writing the PMF bowl here, just like late 2023.And one time Swally emails me at like five. What was it like 4:00 AM Pacific time saying like, Hey, are you open for a call now? And I'm on the East coast and I, it was like 7:00 AM I was like, yeah, great, sure, whatever. Um, and we just started talking and something. Then I didn't know anything about sales.It was something that just comp compelled me. I have to go see this team. Like, there's something here. So I, I went to San Francisco and I went to their office and the way that I remember it is that Postgres was down when I showed up at the office. Did SW tell you this? No. Okay. So Postgres was down and so it's like they were distracting with that.And I was trying my best to see if I could, if I could help in any way. Like I knew a little bit about databases back to tuning, auto vacuum. It was like, I think you have to tune out a vacuum. Um, and so we, we talked about that and then, um, that evening just talked about like what would it look like, what would it look like to work with us?And I just said. Look like we're all in, like we will just do what we'll do whatever, whatever you tell us, right? They migrated everything over the next like week or two, and we reduced their cost by 95%, which I think like kind of fixed their per user economics. Um, and it solved a lot of other things. And we were just, Justine, this is also when I asked Justine to come on as my co-founder, she was the best engineer, um, that I ever worked with at Shopify.She lived two blocks away and we were just, okay, we're just gonna get this done. Um, and we did, and so we helped them migrate and we just worked like hell over the next like month or two to make sure that we were never an issue. And that was, that was the cursor story. Yeah.swyx: And, and is code a different workload than normal text?I, I don't know. Is is it just text? Is it the same thing?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah, so cursor's workload is basically, they, um, they will embed the entire code base, right? So they, they will like chunk it up in whatever they would, they do. They have their own embedding model, um, which they've been public about. Um, and they find that on, on, on their evals.It. There's one of their evals where it's like a 25% improvement on a very particular workload. They have a bunch of blog posts about it. Um, I think it works best on larger code basis, but they've trained their own embedding model to do this. Um, and so you'll see it if you use the cursor agent, it will do searches.And they've also been public around, um, how they've, I think they post trained their model to be very good at semantic search as well. Um, and that's, that's how they use it. And so it's very good at, like, can you find me on the code that's similar to this, or code that does this? And just in, in this queries, they also use GR to supplement it.swyx: Yeah.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um, of courseswyx: it's been a big topic of discussion like, is rag dead because gr you know,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: and I mean like, I just, we, we see lots of demand from the coding company to ethicsswyx: search in every part. Yes.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Uh, we, we, we see demand. And so, I mean, I'm. I like case studies. I don't like, like just doing like thought pieces on this is where it's going.And like trying to be all macroeconomic about ai, that's has turned out to be a giant waste of time because no one can really predict any of this. So I just collect case studies and I mean, cursor has done a great job talking about what they're doing and I hope some of the other coding labs that use Turbo Puffer will do the same.Um, but it does seem to make a difference for particular queries. Um, I mean we can also do text, we can also do RegX, but I should also say that cursors like security posture into Tur Puffer is exceptional, right? They have their own embedding model, which makes it very difficult to reverse engineer. They obfuscate the file paths.They like you. It's very difficult to learn anything about a code base by looking at it. And the other thing they do too is that for their customers, they encrypt it with their encryption keys in turbo puffer's bucket. Um, so it's, it's, it's really, really well designed.swyx: And so this is like extra stuff they did to work with you because you are not part of Cursor.Exactly like, and this is just best practice when working in any database, not just you guys. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. I think for me, like the, the, the learning is kind of like you, like all workloads are hybrid. Like, you know, uh, like you, you want the semantic, you want the text, you want the RegX, you want sql.I dunno. Um, but like, it's silly to like be all in on like one particularly query pattern.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I think, like I really like the way that, um, um, that swally at cursor talks about it, which is, um, I'm gonna butcher it here. Um, and you know, I'm a, I'm a database scalability person. I'm not a, I, I dunno anything about training models other than, um, what the internet tells me and what.The way he describes is that this is just like cash compute, right? It's like you have a point in time where you're looking at some particular context and focused on some chunk and you say, this is the layer of the neural net at this point in time. That seems fundamentally really useful to do cash compute like that.And, um, how the value of that will change over time. I'm, I'm not sure, but there seems to be a lot of value in that.Alessio: Maybe talk a bit about the evolution of the workload, because even like search, like maybe two years ago it was like one search at the start of like an LLM query to build the context. Now you have a gentech search, however you wanna call it, where like the model is both writing and changing the code and it's searching it again later.Yeah. What are maybe some of the new types of workloads or like changes you've had to make to your architecture for it?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I think you're right. When I think of rag, I think of, Hey, there's an 8,000 token, uh, context window and you better make it count. Um, and search was a way to do that now. Everything is moving towards the, just let the agent do its thing.Right? And so back to the thing before, right? The LLM is very good at reasoning with the data, and so we're just the tool call, right? And that's increasingly what we see our customers doing. Um, what we're seeing more demand from, from our customers now is to do a lot of concurrency, right? Like Notion does a ridiculous amount of queries in every round trip just because they can't.And I'm also now, when I use the cursor agent, I also see them doing more concurrency than I've ever seen before. So a bit similar to how we designed a database to drive as much concurrency in every round trip as possible. That's also what the agents are doing. So that's new. It means just an enormous amount of queries all at once to the dataset while it's warm in as few turns as possible.swyx: Can I clarify one thing on that?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yes.swyx: Is it, are they batching multiple users or one user is driving multiple,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: one user driving multiple, one agent driving.swyx: It's parallel searching a bunch of things.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Exactly.swyx: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, the clinician also did, did this for the fast context thing, like eight parallel at once.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yes.swyx: And, and like an interesting problem is, well, how do you make sure you have enough diversity so you're not making the the same request eight times?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: And I think like that's probably also where the hybrid comes in, where. That's another way to diversify. It's a completely different way to, to do the search.That's a big change, right? So before it was really just like one call and then, you know, the LLM took however many seconds to return, but now we just see an enormous amount of queries. So the, um, we just see more queries. So we've like tried to reduce query, we've reduced query pricing. Um, this is probably the first time actually I'm saying that, but the query pricing is being reduced, like five x.Um, and we'll probably try to reduce it even more to accommodate some of these workloads of just doing very large amounts of queries. Um, that's one thing that's changed. I think the right, the right ratio is still very high, right? Like there's still a, an enormous amount of rights per read, but we're starting probably to see that change if people really lean into this pattern.Alessio: Can we talk a little bit about the pricing? I'm curious, uh, because traditionally a database would charge on storage, but now you have the token generation that is so expensive, where like the actual. Value of like a good search query is like much higher because they're like saving inference time down the line.How do you structure that as like, what are people receptive to on the other side too?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah. I, the, the turbo puffer pricing in the beginning was just very simple. The pricing on these on for search engines before Turbo Puffer was very server full, right? It was like, here's the vm, here's the per hour cost, right?Great. And I just sat down with like a piece of paper and said like, if Turbo Puffer was like really good, this is probably what it would cost with a little bit of margin. And that was the first pricing of Turbo Puffer. And I just like sat down and I was like, okay, like this is like probably the storage amp, but whenever on a piece of paper I, it was vibe pricing.It was very vibe price, and I got it wrong. Oh. Um, well I didn't get it wrong, but like Turbo Puffer wasn't at the first principle pricing, right? So when Cursor came on Turbo Puffer, it was like. Like, I didn't know any VCs. I didn't know, like I was just like, I don't know, I didn't know anything about raising money or anything like that.I just saw that my GCP bill was, was high, was a lot higher than the cursor bill. So Justine and I was just like, well, we have to optimize it. Um, and I mean, to the chagrin now of, of it, of, of the VCs, it now means that we're profitable because we've had so much pricing pressure in the beginning. Because it was running on my credit card and Justine and I had spent like, like tens of thousands of dollars on like compute bills and like spinning off the company and like very like, like bad Canadian lawyers and like things like to like get all of this done because we just like, we didn't know.Right. If you're like steeped in San Francisco, you're just like, you just know. Okay. Like you go out, raise a pre-seed round. I, I never heard a word pre-seed at this point in time.swyx: When you had Cursor, you had Notion you, you had no funding.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um, with Cursor we had no funding. Yeah. Um, by the time we had Notion Locke was, Locke was here.Yeah. So it was really just, we vibe priced it 100% from first Principles, but it wasn't, it, it was not performing at first principles, so we just did everything we could to optimize it in the beginning for that, so that at least we could have like a 5% margin or something. So I wasn't freaking out because Cursor's bill was also going like this as they were growing.And so my liability and my credit limit was like actively like calling my bank. It was like, I need a bigger credit. Like it was, yeah. Anyway, that was the beginning. Yeah. But the pricing was, yeah, like storage rights and query. Right. And the, the pricing we have today is basically just that pricing with duct tape and spit to try to approach like, you know, like a, as a margin on the physical underlying hardware.And we're doing this year, you're gonna see more and more pricing changes from us. Yeah.swyx: And like is how much does stuff like VVC peering matter because you're working in AWS land where egress is charged and all that, you know.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: We probably don't like, we have like an enterprise plan that just has like a base fee because we haven't had time to figure out SKU pricing for all of this.Um, but I mean, yeah, you can run turbo puffer either in SaaS, right? That's what Cursor does. You can run it in a single tenant cluster. So it's just you. That's what Notion does. And then you can run it in, in, in BYOC where everything is inside the customer's VPC, that's what an for example, philanthropic does.swyx: What I'm hearing is that this is probably the best CRO job for somebody who can come in and,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I mean,swyx: help you with this.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um, like Turbo Puffer hired, like, I don't know what, what number this was, but we had a full-time CFO as like the 12th hire or something at Turbo Puffer, um, I think I hear are a lot of comp.I don't know how they do it. Like they have a hundred employees and not a CFO. It's like having a CFO is like a runningswyx: business man. Like, you know,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: it's so good. Yeah, like money Mike, like he just, you know, just handles the money and a lot of the business stuff and so he came in and just hopped with a lot of the operational side of the business.So like C-O-O-C-F-O, like somewhere in between.swyx: Just as quick mention of Lucky, just ‘cause I'm curious, I've met Lock and like, he's obviously a very good investor and now on physical intelligence, um, I call it generalist super angel, right? He invests in everything. Um, and I always wonder like, you know, is there something appealing about focusing on developer tooling, focusing on databases, going like, I've invested for 10 years in databases versus being like a lock where he can maybe like connect you to all the customers that you need.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: This is an excellent question. No, no one's asked me this. Um, why lockey? Because. There was a couple of people that we were talking to at the time and when we were raising, we were almost a little, we were like a bit distressed because one of our, one of our peers had just launched something that was very similar to Turbo Puffer.And someone just gave me the advice at the time of just choose the person where you just feel like you can just pick up the phone and not prepare anything. And just be completely honest, and I don't think I've said this publicly before, but I just called Lockey and was like local Lockie. Like if this doesn't have PMF by the end of the year, like we'll just like return all the money to you.But it's just like, I don't really, we, Justine and I don't wanna work on this unless it's really working. So we want to give it the best shot this year and like we're really gonna go for it. We're gonna hire a bunch of people and we're just gonna be honest with everyone. Like when I don't know how to play a game, I just play with open cards and.Lockey was the only person that didn't, that didn't freak out. He was like, I've never heard anyone say that before. As I said, I didn't even know what a seed or pre-seed round was like before, probably even at this time. So I was just like very honest with him. And I asked him like, Lockie, have you ever have, have you ever invested in database company?He was just like, no. And at the time I was like, am I dumb? Like, but I think there was something that just like really drew me to Lockie. He is so authentic, so honest, like, and there was something just like, I just felt like I could just play like, just say everything openly. And that was, that was, I think that that was like a perfect match at the time, and, and, and honestly still is.He was just like, okay, that's great. This is like the most honest, ridiculous thing I've ever heard anyone say to me. But like that, like that, whyswyx: is this ridiculous? Say competitor launch, this may not work out. It wasSimon Hørup Eskildsen: more just like. If this doesn't work out, I'm gonna close up shop by the end of the mo the year, right?Like it was, I don't know, maybe it's common. I, I don't know. He told me it was uncommon. I don't know. Um, that's why we chose him and he'd been phenomenal. The other people were talking at the, at the time were database experts. Like they, you know, knew a lot about databases and Locke didn't, this turned out to be a phenomenal asset.Right. I like Justine and I know a lot about databases. The people that we hire know a lot about databases. What we needed was just someone who didn't know a lot about databases, didn't pretend to know a lot about databases, and just wanted to help us with candidates and customers. And he did. Yeah. And I have a list, right, of the investors that I have a relationship with, and Lockey has just performed excellent in the number of sub bullets of what we can attribute back to him.Just absolutely incredible. And when people talk about like no ego and just the best thing for the founder, I like, I don't think that anyone, like even my lawyer is like, yeah, Lockey is like the most friendly person you will find.swyx: Okay. This is my most glow recommendation I've ever heard.Alessio: He deserves it.He's very special.swyx: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Amazing.Alessio: Since you mentioned candidates, maybe we can talk about team building, you know, like, especially in sf, it feels like it's just easier to start a company than to join a company. Uh, I'm curious your experience, especially not being n SF full-time and doing something that is maybe, you know, a very low level of detail and technical detail.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah. So joining versus starting, I never thought that I would be a founder. I would start with it, like Turbo Puffer started as a blog post, and then it became a project and then sort of almost accidentally became a company. And now it feels like it's, it's like becoming a bigger company. That was never the intention.The intentions were very pure. It's just like, why hasn't anyone done this? And it's like, I wanna be the, like, I wanna be the first person to do it. I think some founders have this, like, I could never work for anyone else. I, I really don't feel that way. Like, it's just like, I wanna see this happen. And I wanna see it happen with some people that I really enjoy working with and I wanna have fun doing it and this, this, this has all felt very natural on that, on that sense.So it was never a like join versus versus versus found. It was just dis found me at the right moment.Alessio: Well I think there's an argument for, you should have joined Cursor, right? So I'm curious like how you evaluate it. Okay, I should actually go raise money and make this a company versus like, this is like a company that is like growing like crazy.It's like an interesting technical problem. I should just build it within Cursor and then they don't have to encrypt all this stuff. They don't have to obfuscate things. Like was that on your mind at all orSimon Hørup Eskildsen: before taking the, the small check from Lockie, I did have like a hard like look at myself in the mirror of like, okay, do I really want to do this?And because if I take the money, I really have to do it right. And so the way I almost think about it's like you kind of need to ha like you kind of need to be like fucked up enough to want to go all the way. And that was the conversation where I was like, okay, this is gonna be part of my life's journey to build this company and do it in the best way that I possibly can't.Because if I ask people to join me, ask people to get on the cap table, then I have an ultimate responsibility to give it everything. And I don't, I think some people, it doesn't occur to me that everyone takes it that seriously. And maybe I take it too seriously, I don't know. But that was like a very intentional moment.And so then it was very clear like, okay, I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna give it everything.Alessio: A lot of people don't take it this seriously. But,swyx: uh, let's talk about, you have this concept of the P 99 engineer. Uh, people are 10 x saying, everyone's saying, you know, uh, maybe engineers are out of a job. I don't know.But you definitely see a P 99 engineer, and I just want you to talk about it.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Yeah, so the P 99 engineer was just a term that we started using internally to talk about candidates and talk about how we wanted to build the company. And you know, like everyone else is, like we want a talent dense company.And I think that's almost become trite at this point. What I credit the cursor founders a lot with is that they just arrived there from first principles of like, we just need a talent dense, um, talent dense team. And I think I've seen some teams that weren't talent dense and like seemed a counterfactual run, which if you've run in been in a large company, you will just see that like it's just logically will happen at a large company.Um, and so that was super important to me and Justine and it's very difficult to maintain. And so we just needed, we needed wording for it. And so I have a document called Traits of the P 99 Engineer, and it's a bullet point list. And I look at that list after every single interview that I do, and in every single recap that we do and every recap we end with.End with, um, some version of I'm gonna reject this candidate completely regardless of what the discourse was, because I wanna see people fight for this person because the default should not be, we're gonna hire this person. The default should be, we're definitely not hiring this person. And you know, if everyone was like, ah, maybe throw a punch, then this is not the right.swyx: Do, do you operate, like if there's one cha there must have at least one champion who's like, yes, I will put my career on, on, on the line for this. You know,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I think career on the line,swyx: maybe a chair, butSimon Hørup Eskildsen: yeah. You know, like, um, I would say so someone needs to like, have both fists up and be like, I'd fight.Right? Yeah. Yeah. And if one person said, then, okay, let's do it. Right?swyx: Yeah.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um. It doesn't have to be absolutely everyone. Right? And like the interviews are always the sign that you're checking for different attributes. And if someone is like knocking it outta the park in every single attribute, that's, that's fairly rare.Um, but that's really important. And so the traits of the P 99 engineer, there's lots of them. There's also the traits of the p like triple nine engineer and the quadruple nine engineer. This is like, it's a long list.swyx: Okay.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um, I'll give you some samples, right. Of what we, what we look for. I think that the P 99 engineer has some history of having bent, like their trajectory or something to their will.Right? Some moment where it was just, they just, you know, made the computer do what it needed to do. There's something like that, and it will, it will occur to have them at some point in their career. And, uh. Hopefully multiple times. Right.swyx: Gimme an example of one of your engineers that like,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I'll give an eng.Uh, so we, we, we launched this thing called A and NV three. Um, we could, we're also, we're working on V four and V five right now, but a and NV three can search a hundred billion vectors with a P 50 of around 40 milliseconds and a p 99 of 200 milliseconds. Um, maybe other people have done this, I'm sure Google and others have done this, but, uh, we haven't seen anyone, um, at least not in like a public consumable SaaS that can do this.And that was an engineer, the chief architect of Turbo Puffer, Nathan, um, who more or less just bent this, the software was not capable of this and he just made it capable for a very particular workload in like a, you know, six to eight week period with the help of a lot of the team. Right. It's been, been, there's numerous of examples of that, like at, at turbo puff, but that's like really bending the software and X 86 to your will.It was incredible to watch. Um. You wanna see some moments like that?swyx: Isn't that triple nine?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: Um, I think Nathan, what's calledAlessio: group nine, that was only nine. I feel like this is too high forSimon Hørup Eskildsen: Nathan. Nathan is, uh, Nathan is like, yeah, there's a lot of nines. Okay. After that p So I think that's one trait. I think another trait is that, uh, the P 99 spends a lot of time looking at maps.Generally it's their preferred ux. They just love looking at maps. You ever seen someone who just like, sits on their phone and just like, scrolls around on a map? Or did you not look at maps A lot? You guys don't look atswyx: maps? I guess I'm not feeling there. I don't know, butSimon Hørup Eskildsen: you just dis What about trains?Do you like trains?swyx: Uh, I mean they, not enough. Okay. This is just like weapon nice. Autism is what I call it. Like, like,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: um, I love looking at maps, like, it's like my preferred UX and just like I, you know, I likeswyx: lotsAlessio: of, of like random places, soswyx: like,youswyx: know.Alessio: Yes. Okay. There you go. So instead of like random places, like how do you explore the maps?Simon Hørup Eskildsen: No, it's, it's just a joke.swyx: It's autism laugh. It's like you are just obsessed by something and you like studying a thing.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: The origin of this was that at some point I read an interview with some IOI gold medalistswyx: Uhhuh,Simon Hørup Eskildsen: and it's like, what do you do in your spare time? I was just like, I like looking at maps.I was like, I feel so seen. Like, I just like love, like swirling out. I was like, oh, Canada is so big. Where's Baffin Island? I don't know. I love it. Yeah. Um, anyway, so the traits of P 99, P 99 is obsessive, right? Like, there's just like, you'll, you'll find traits of that we do an interview at, at, at, at turbo puffer or like multiple interviews that just try to screen for some of these things.Um, so. There's lots of others, but these are the kinds of traits that we look for.swyx: I'll tell you, uh, some people listen for like some of my dere stuff. Uh, I do think about derel as maps. Um, you draw a map for people, uh, maps show you the, uh, what is commonly agreed to be the geographical features of what a boundary is.And it shows also shows you what is not doing. And I, I think a lot of like developer tools, companies try to tell you they can do everything, but like, let's, let's be real. Like you, your, your three landmarks are here, everyone comes here, then here, then here, and you draw a map and, and then you draw a journey through the map.And like that. To me, that's what developer relations looks like. So I do think about things that way.Simon Hørup Eskildsen: I think the P 99 thinks in offs, right? The P 99 is very clear about, you know, hey, turbo puffer, you can't run a high transaction workload on turbo puffer, right? It's like the right latency is a hundred milliseconds.That's a clear trade off. I think the P 99 is very good at articulating the trade offs in every decision. Um. Which is exactly what the map is in your case, right?swyx: Uh, yeah, yeah. My, my, my world. My world.Alessio: How, how do you reconcile some of these things when you're saying you bend the will the computer versus like the trade

The Identity We Build Through Movement. So, two days ago I was talking with my closest childhood friends kiddo about their knee injury and how that has affected them not just physically but also mentally and emotionally and that conversation is what inspired this episode. It made me think of how many of us grow up with a sport or a physical activity that becomes part of who we are.“I'm a runner.”“I'm a swimmer.”“I'm a dancer.”“I'm a lifter.”“I'm a soccer player, I'm a baseball player.”,It's not just something we do, it literally becomes part of our identity, our community, our routine, our confidence, even our emotional regulation. But what happens when an injury forces us to step back… or step away entirely? That's what we're talking about today: How to cope when your body asks you to shift your identity and how to rebuild without losing yourself. SEGMENT 1: Why Sports Become Part of Our IdentitySports and movement shape identity because they give us:• Structure: practices, routines, goals• Community: teammates, coaches, shared struggle• Competence: the feeling of “I'm good at this”• Purpose: something to work toward• Emotion regulation: stress relief, confidence, grounding• Belonging: being part of something biggerWhen you lose access to that, even temporarily, it can feel like grief. Not dramatic grief. Real grief. You're not just losing a sport. You're losing a version of yourself and that deserves compassion, not pressure.SEGMENT 2: The Emotional Impact of InjuryInjury isn't just physical. It affects:• Identity (“Who am I without this?”)• Routine (“What do I do with my time now?”)• Confidence (“My body let me down.”)• Connection (“I'm not with my team anymore.”)• Mood (movement boosts serotonin and dopamine, losing it hits hard)People often feel:• Frustration• Sadness• Anger• Fear of losing progress• Fear of being “left behind”• Shame about slowing downThese feelings are normal. They don't mean you're weak, they mean you're human.SEGMENT 3: The Shift, Separating Identity From ActivityYou are not your sport. You are the qualities your sport helped you develop.Your identity isn't “runner.” It's:• disciplined• resilient• focused• determined• consistent• community‑orientedYour identity isn't “baseball player.” It's:• strategic• hardworking• team‑minded• competitive in a healthy way• adaptableYour sport was the vehicle. Those qualities are the engine and engines can power new vehicles.SEGMENT 4: How to Rebuild Identity After InjuryHere are 5 steps:  Acknowledge the loss. Say it out loud: “This is hard. I miss what I had.” Naming it reduces shame.Shift from “What can't I do?” to “What can I still do?” Maybe you can't sprint, but you can walk. Maybe you can't lift heavy but you can do mobility. Maybe you can't play your sport but you can coach, teach, or support others.Explore new forms of movement. Not as replacements, as expansions. Try things like swimming, yoga, cycling, Pilates, walking groups, dance, strength training, low‑impact cardio. Let curiosity lead instead of comparison.Reconnect with the feeling your sport gave you. Ask yourself, “What did my sport make me feel?”, free? strong? connected? focused? calm? Then find movement that recreates that feeling even if it looks different.Build a new narrative. Instead of “I used to be an athlete,” try, “I'm evolving as an athlete.” “I'm learning new ways to move.” “I'm expanding my identity.”SEGMENT 5: A Guided ReflectionTake a breath with me. Think about the sport you loved. Think about what it gave you. Think about the version of yourself that grew through it. Now ask yourself:• What qualities did that sport bring out in me?• Which of those qualities still live in me today?• How can I express those qualities in new ways?• What kind of movement feels supportive for the body I have right now?You're not starting over. You're continuing, just on a different path.You're More Than One Chapter. Your sport shaped you, but it didn't define you. Your injury changed your path, but it didn't end your story. You are still an athlete. You are still strong. You are still capable. You are still evolving. Movement will always be there for you, it just might look different than before and different doesn't mean less. Different can mean wiser, kinder, more sustainable, and more connected to who you're becoming. As you move through this week, give yourself permission to explore, to feel, to grieve, and to grow. You're more than your sport. You always have been. This is Luis, and you've been listening to The Monday Morning Brew.If this episode helped you, share it with someone. As always, be a kind human, let's continue to help, to lift each-other up whenever possible... and when it seems really tough, look for the helpers and always do your part, make sure that when someone looks for the Helpers, they see YOU, that way You can be the change you want to see in the world...thank you for sharing this time to listen to us and we will see you again soon, have a great rest of your day!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

When a celebrated Soviet hero is alleged to have marched among the SS in some of history's worst butchery, James Bond is sent to validate the claims and protect the source. Along the way 007 poses as cameraman in a deep-fake propaganda production designed to rewrite history and redirect the dying embers of cold war chaos. Marked by inter-agency intrigue and a staggering cast of secondary characters, John Gardner's "The Man from Barbarossa" was supposedly the writers favourite and might just earn the award for "thickest narrative stew" here on LTP.Lights, camera, action?... well, sort of!Summary@08:00; Review@23:00

Welcome back to the Monday Morning Brew series! Today we're talking about something that can feel complicated, emotional, and honestly… overwhelming for a lot of people: nutrition.But don't worry, this isn't a diet episode.This isn't a “cut everything out” episode.This is a "kindness" episode.Because February is all about intentional movement, consistency, and showing up for yourself. And part of showing up is fueling your body in a way that supports your energy, your mood, and your confidence without stress, guilt, or perfection.So today, we're breaking down simple, realistic nutrition habits that you can start this month… and actually keep. Let's get into it.SEGMENT 1: WHY NUTRITION FEELS HARDLet's be honest, nutrition is one of the most confusing parts of health.There's so much noise out there:“Eat this, not that.”“Cut carbs.”“Only eat clean.”“Try this new trend.”It's exhausting.And for a lot of people, food is emotional.It's comfort. It's culture. It's connection. It's coping.So when someone says “just eat better,” it's not helpful.What is helpful is focusing on small, doable habits that support your body without taking over your life. That's what we're doing today.SEGMENT 2: HABIT #1 HYDRATION MADE EASYLet's start with the simplest habit: hydration.Most people walk around dehydrated and don't even realize it and dehydration affects:Energy, Mood, Digestion, Cravings, Headaches, Motivation.So here's your February hydration habit:Drink one extra bottle or glass of water each day.... that's it! Not a gallon.Not a strict schedule.Just one extra.If you want to make it even easier:Keep a bottle near youAdd lemon or fruitDrink a glass before your morning coffeePair water with a daily habit (like brushing your teeth)Small hydration wins add up fast.SEGMENT 3: HABIT #2 ADD, DON'T RESTRICTHere's a mindset shift that changes everything: Instead of focusing on what to cut out… focus on what to add in.Restriction creates stress. Addition creates balance.Here are simple “add‑ins” for February:Add a serving of fruit to breakfastAdd a vegetable to one meal a dayAdd a source of protein to your snacksAdd a handful of nuts or seedsAdd a fiber‑rich food like berries, oats, or beansWhen you add nourishing foods, your body naturally feels better and you don't feel deprived. This approach is gentle, sustainable, and perfect for listeners who struggle with all‑or‑nothing thinking.SEGMENT 4: HABIT #3 PROTEIN FOR ENERGY + SATIETYLet's talk about protein, not in a bodybuilder way, but in a "support your energy" way.Protein helps keep you full, Stabilize blood sugar, Support muscle recovery, Improve mood and focus.Here are easy February protein wins:Greek yogurt, Eggs, Chicken or turkey, Beans or lentils, Cottage cheese, Tofu, Protein shakes, Tuna packets, Nuts or nut butter.Your habit for this week: Add one source of protein to at least one meal or snack each day and keep it under 30 grams per MEAL. That's it... Simple, Supportive, Doable.SEGMENT 5: HABIT #4 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, NOT THE INTERNETThis one is big. Your body is always communicating with you, but most of us are too busy, stressed, or distracted to listen.This month, try this: Pause before you eat and ask: “What does my body need right now?”Not “What should I eat?”Not “What's the healthiest option?”Just… “What do I need?”Maybe you need something warm.Maybe you need something hydrating.Maybe you need something grounding.Maybe you need something with protein.Maybe you need something comforting, and that's okay too.Listening builds trust.And trust builds healthier habits.SEGMENT 6: HABIT #5 THE 80% FULL CHECK-IN Here's a gentle habit that helps with overeating without restriction: Pause halfway through your meal and check in with your fullness.Ask yourself:Am I still hungry?Am I satisfied?Am I eating out of habit?Am I eating because it tastes good?Am I eating because I'm distracted?You don't have to stop eating.You don't have to change anything.Just check in.Awareness IS the habit.SEGMENT 7: WEEKLY CHALLENGE “Fuel With Intention” Alright, here's your February nutrition challenge for the week.THE CHALLENGE: “Fuel With Intention”For the next 7 days, choose one of these habits:Drink one extra glass or bottle of waterAdd one fruit or vegetable to your dayAdd one source of protein to a meal or snackDo one 80% fullness check‑inPause before eating and ask, “What do I need?”Just one.Not all five.Not perfection.Choose the one that feels the most supportive right now.Nutrition doesn't have to be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be restrictive. It doesn't have to be stressful.It can be simple. It can be gentle. It can be supportive. This February, focus on fueling your body with kindness, one small habit at a time.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's working on their health this month. And stay tuned, we've got a really neat charity event coming up in March that Velotric, an e-bike company will be sponsoring and you have a chance to win an E-bike! As always, be a kind human, let's help each-other whenever possible, like Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers, make sure when someone looks for the Helpers, they see YOU, be the change you want to see in the world and thank you thank you for sharing this time to listen to us and we will see you again soon, have a great rest of your day! See you in the next episode!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the past few weeks, starting with senior hires in revenue and operations at DeepL and what this signals about the LTP's next phase.The duo then turns to new data from AI labs and hyperscalers, where Florian highlights findings from Anthropic's research showing AI is settling into a support role rather than full automation, with usage concentrated around review and validation, and humans remaining firmly in the loop.On the consumer side, Esther points to Microsoft Copilot data showing translation and language learning as one of the most common everyday AI use cases. Florian flags Adobe's new “Translate this PDF” feature, where formatting was the main issue rather than translation accuracy.The conversation then shifts to infrastructure, where Florian emphasizes how NVIDIA is positioning itself at the center of real-time multilingual voice ecosystems by open-sourcing models while driving demand for its hardware.The duo unpacks OpenAI's quiet launch of ChatGPT Translate. Esther notes that reactions have been mixed, with many seeing the interface as basic, while Florian stresses the strategic importance of the move. Then the two disagree on whether or not the AI's default prompt to make the translation sound “more fluent” makes any sense.Esther walks through recent M&A activity and funding rounds, highlighting acquisitions in Europe and the US alongside major raises by Synthesia, Deepgram, and reportedly ElevenLabs.Florian concludes with a look at an S-1 filing by a tiny company, using it as an example of how the US capital markets accommodate everything from billion-dollar AI firms to survival-stage experiments.

Welcome back! Today we're stepping into Week Four of your SMART fitness journey... the wrap‑up, the checkpoint, the moment where we pause and look at everything you've built over the last three weeks. If you've been here since Week One, you've shown courage, consistency, and a whole lot of heart and if you're joining us now, you're right on time because today is all about reflection, momentum, and setting yourself up for what comes next. Let's dive in!Let's take a moment to look at how far you've come.Week OneYou set your SMART goal.You showed up.You proved to yourself that you could start even if it wasn't perfect, even if it felt messy.Week TwoYou strengthened your streak.You learned how to stay accountable without shame.You discovered that consistency isn't about intensity, it's about returning.Week ThreeYou upgraded your identity.You moved with intention.You completed four days of movement and proved that you're becoming the kind of person who honors their body on purpose.That's not small.That's not accidental.That's growth. And now, in Week Four, we're taking everything you've learned and turning it into momentum.Week Four isn't about pushing harder. It's about integration. This is the week where you ask:What habits are stickingWhat habits need adjustingWhat habits feel goodWhat habits feel forcedWhat habits are becoming part of who I amWeek Four is your chance to refine, not restart. You're not going back to zero. You're building on a foundation you've already created.Here's your official Week Four Listener Challenge. “The Momentum Checkpoint”Over the next 7 days, complete this simple three‑part reflection:1. What worked? Think about the last three weeks.What habits felt natural?What actions made you feel proud?What routines actually fit your life?2. What needs adjusting?Not judging, adjusting.Maybe your workouts were too long.Maybe your schedule needs flexibility.Maybe you need more rest days.Maybe you need more variety.Adjusting is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.3. What's one habit you want to carry into next month?Just one. Not five. Not ten.One habit that feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with who you're becoming.This challenge helps you transition from “I'm trying” to “This is part of my life now.”Let's talk about long‑term accountability, the kind that lasts beyond January.Here are a few ways to stay grounded:1. Keep your goals flexible. Life changes. Schedules shift.Your goals should move with you, not against you.2. Use identity‑based languageInstead of “I'm trying to work out,”say “I'm someone who moves my body.”Instead of “I'm trying to drink more water,”say “I'm someone who stays hydrated.”Identity fuels consistency.3. Build community. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Invite someone into your journey.Accountability grows stronger when it's shared.4. Celebrate the small stuff. Every walk. Every stretch. Every mindful moment.Every return after a setback.Small wins build big momentumTake a deep breath with me.Think about the version of yourself who started this journey.Now think about the version of yourself today.What's different?What's stronger?What's softer?What's more aware? Now ask yourself:What do I want the next 30 days to feel likeWhat kind of energy do I want to carry forwardWhat's one promise I can make to myself that feels kind and realisticHold onto those answers.They're your roadmap for the next chapter.Week Four isn't the end, it's the checkpoint. It's the moment where you recognize your growth, honor your effort, and choose your next step with intention.You've built consistency.You've built confidence. You've built identity.And now, you're ready for whatever comes next.If this Monday Morning Brew series has helped you, share it with someone who's starting their own journey and as always be kind to one another and be the change you want to see in the world!Stay tuned for next week, because we'll share some of our own tips and tricks that we use to stay consistent and accountable throughout the week and we'll talk about the importance of fueling properly before and after our workouts!

Welcome back! Hope you are all having a great start to your Day, grabbing your marinated bean water or tea and I have to say I'm so thankful you choose to listen to us and I hope that we help kickoff your Day in a positive and focused way! Well today we're stepping into Week Three of your SMART fitness journey. If you've made it this far, take a second and acknowledge that. Most people fall off after Week One. But not You! You're still here. You're still showing up. That matters. Week Three is where your habits start to take shape. It's where your brain begins to recognize, “Oh… we're doing this now.” But it's also where boredom, doubt, or life's distractions can creep in. So today, we're talking about how to upgrade your consistency, keep your momentum alive, and stay connected to your “why.”SEGMENT 1: WHAT MAKES WEEK THREE UNIQUEWeek Three is a turning point. Not because you're suddenly doing harder workouts, but because you're building identity.In Week One, you were trying something new. In Week Two, you were proving you could stick with it. But in Week Three? You're becoming the kind of person who moves their body on purpose.This is where fitness shifts from a task… to a lifestyle. But here's the catch: Week Three is also when the novelty wears off. You might feel:A little boredA little tiredA little tempted to skipOr even a little unsure if you're making progressAll of that is normal. It doesn't mean you're failing whatsoever, it means you're transitioning.This week is about leaning into the routine, not running from it.SEGMENT 2: RECONNECTING WITH YOUR “WHY”I'd love to pause and reconnect with something important... your “why.”Why did you start this journey?What were you hoping to feel?What were you hoping to change?What were you hoping to prove to yourself? Your “why” is your anchor.It's the thing that keeps you going when motivation fades. Take a moment and bring that reason back to the front of your mind. That's what's going to carry you through Week Three.SEGMENT 3: THE WEEK THREE CHALLENGE — “THE CONSISTENCY UPGRADE”Alright, here's your official Week Three Listener Challenge. “4‑Day Consistency Upgrade”. For the next 7 days, your goal is simple: Complete 4 days of intentional movement, any style, any length. Not perfection. Not intensity. Just four days where you choose to move your body on purpose.Movement options include:A 20‑minute walkA 10‑minute strength routineA stretching or mobility sessionA dance breakA yoga flowA beginner cardio videoA bike rideA swimA hikeEven cleaning or yard work if it gets your heart rate up The goal is intentional movement, not performance.You may be wondering Why this works:It strengthens your habit loop, It builds confidence, It keeps your goals flexible, It reduces the “start over Monday” cycle, It helps you feel proud of your consistency. Four days. That's it.You can absolutely do this.SEGMENT 4: ACCOUNTABILITY BOOSTERS FOR WEEK THREE:Let's talk about how to stay accountable this week as always without shame, without pressure.1. Use a simple tracking system A calendar. A notes app. A whiteboard. A sticky note on your fridge. Whatever works for you! Seeing your progress keeps your brain engaged.2. Celebrate the small winsDid you move for 10 minutes? That counts.Did you stretch instead of skipping entirely? That counts too. Small wins stack up.3. Pair your movement with something enjoyableA favorite playlist.A podcast episode.A walk with a friend.A show you only watch while on the treadmill. Pleasure makes habits stick.4. Don't let one missed day turn into a missed weekIf you skip a day, don't spiral.Just pick up where you left off.Consistency is built on returning, not perfection.SEGMENT 5: QUICK GUIDED REFLECTIONTake a breath with me.Think about the version of yourself you're becoming.The one who moves with intention. The one who honors their body. The one who shows up even when it's not exciting. Now ask yourself:What's one small action I can take today to support that version of me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What would make me proud seven days from now?Think on these, I'd even suggest writing down and holding onto those answers.They're your compass for Week Three.Week Three is where consistency becomes identity.Where effort becomes routine.Where small steps start to feel natural.You don't need to be perfect.You don't need to be intense.You just need to keep showing up, four days this week, with intention and compassion.Well that's a wrap! If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's on their own fitness journey.As always, thank you for taking time out of your Day to join us! Remember to be kind to yourself and to be kind to each-other, be helpful, be useful and tell your loved ones how much you love them, call that friend who crossed your mind randomly and just say hi! Pay it forward... buy that person behind you in the drive-thru a coffee, just spread love and kindness whenever you can and above all, be the change you want to see in the world!See you next time! And get ready! Week Four is the wrap up episode for this "SMART goals series" to kick off the New Years. February is where we start talking about momentum, confidence, and long‑term sustainability.

Welcome back everyone! As you all know this Podcast's purpose is to be able to come together and talk about growth, courage, and the small steps that help us build a healthier, kinder life. We are your hosts today, Luis & Ashlee, and today we're diving into Week One of your SMART fitness goals, that crucial first stretch where excitement meets reality.If you've set fitness goals for the new year, this episode is for you. If you meant to set goals but haven't started yet, this episode is also for you.And if you're already feeling yourself slipping a little… you're definitely in the right place. Let's get into it. We'll go into "WHY WEEK ONE MATTERS" Week One is powerful. It sets the tone. It builds momentum. It teaches your brain, “Hey, we're doing this now.” But Week One is also where people tend to overdo it, burn out, or get discouraged. So today, we're going to slow it down and focus on SMART goals.Last week we touched on what those are, but just as a quick refresher here, smart goals that are: Specific / Measurable / Achievable / Relevant / Time‑bound and we're going to talk about how to stay accountable in a way that feels supportive, not stressful. Because fitness isn't punishment. It's a form of self‑respect."SETTING YOUR WEEK ONE SMART FITNESS GOAL"Let's walk through a simple Week One SMART goal. A lot of people start with something like: “I'm going to work out every day for an hour.” That sounds great… until life happens.A SMART Week One goal might look like: “For the next 7 days, I'll walk for 15 minutes, three times this week, to boost my energy and build consistency. ”Notice the difference: It's clear, It's doable, It's flexible, It builds confidence instead of pressure. Here are a few more. Week One SMART fitness goal examples: “I'll stretch for 5 minutes every morning before I check my phone.” “I'll drink one extra glass of water each day this week.” “I'll do a 10‑minute beginner workout on Tuesday and Thursday.” Week One is about showing up, not showing off.Let's dive into the next piece: "HOW TO TRACK YOUR FIRST WEEK" Tracking is where SMART goals come alive. It turns invisible effort into visible progress.Here are simple ways to track Week One:A calendar with check-marksA notes appA fitness appA whiteboardA sticky note on your mirrorThe method doesn't matter. What matters is that you can see your consistency. Because when you see progress, you want to keep going.Let's talk about "ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAME". Let's talk accountability, the supportive kind, not the “beat yourself up” kind. Here are four ways to stay accountable in Week One:Choose an accountability partner who roots for youNot someone who pressures you. Someone who says, “How can I support you today?”Celebrate micro‑wins. Did you walk for 10 minutes instead of 15? That's still a win. You showed up.Adjust instead of abandoning. If your goal feels too big, shrink it. If it feels too small, grow it. Adjusting is not failing, it's strategizing.Use “habit anchors” Attach your fitness action to something you already do: After brushing your teeth → stretchAfter lunch → take a 10‑minute walkAfter work → fill your water bottleAnchors make habits automatic. aka habit stacking"WHAT TO EXPECT EMOTIONALLY IN WEEK ONE"Let's be real. Week One isn't just physical. It's emotional.You might feel:ExcitedNervousImpatientProudDoubtfulAll of the aboveThis is normal.Your brain is adjusting to a new pattern. Your body is waking up. Your mindset is shifting. So just give yourself grace guys..You're not supposed to be perfect... you're supposed to be present."A QUICK GUIDED REFLECTION"Take a breath with me. Think about the fitness goal you set. Now ask yourself:Why does this matter to me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What's one small action I can take today to support that feeling?Hold onto that answer. That's your anchor.If you're starting your fitness journey this week, I'm proud of you. If you're restarting, I'm proud of you too and if you're listening because you want to feel inspired again… you're already on your way. Thanks for joining us today on the Podcast!If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting their own goals this year.And remember — kindness, consistency, and small steps will take you farther than perfection ever will. So as always be kind to yourself and everyone else, be that change you want to see in the world and keep being You!See you next time! Tip of the Day:Week One is about building trust with yourself. Every small step counts. Every checkmark matters. Every moment you choose to show up, even for five minutes, is a victory.Shoutouts!

In this spirited show, the LTP talks about the news, losing Adam the Woo, and randomizers...

Welp, it's almost 2026! Today we're breaking down how to set New Year's goals that actually stick, without pressure, guilt, or perfectionism. Just clarity, compassion, and small steps forward.Let's jump in!Step 1: WHAT MAKES A GOAL SMARTSMART goals are:• Specific• Measurable• Achievable• Relevant• Time‑boundMost goals fail because they're too vague. “Get healthier,” “be more confident,” “save money” — great intentions, zero clarity. SMART goals give you a roadmap instead of a wish.Step 2: THE KINDER APPROACHBefore you set any goal, ask yourself:• Does this goal come from pressure or from purpose?• Does it make my life heavier or lighter?• Is this something I want, or something I think I should want?When your goals come from self‑compassion, they last longer.Step 3: QUICK SMART GOAL EXAMPLESLet's take “I want to get healthier.”SMART version:“For the next 30 days, I'll walk 10 minutes a day to boost my energy.”Or “I want to be more confident.”SMART version:“Every Monday, I'll write down one thing I did well that week.”Small. Clear. Doable.Step 4: MICRO‑GOALSMicro‑goals are tiny actions that build momentum:• Drink one extra glass of water• Read for five minutes• Clean one drawer• Spend 10 minutes on a creative projectThese small wins build trust with yourself — and trust fuels consistency.Step 5: ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAMEAccountability doesn't have to feel like judgment. It can be supportive:• Share your goal with someone who roots for you• Track progress visually• Celebrate tiny wins, you can do this by tracking what you are doing, whether with an app or journal etc• Adjust the goal when life changes, life is what happens on the way to your plans, so learn to pivot! you only fail when you quit, so don't...Accountability should feel like partnership, not pressure.As you step into the new year, remember: you don't need a new version of yourself — just a clearer, kinder plan for the version you already are. If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting goals too. And if you're working on your own SMART goals, I'd love to hear them. See you next time!TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

The holidays are often portrayed as joyful and picture-perfect… but for many people, this time of year can feel incredibly lonely. One of those symptoms is known as S.A.D. Seasonal Affective Disorder, which usually portrays feeling low, irritable, and usually caused by lack of sunlight amongst other things. And if that's you, I want you to hear this clearly:Your feelings are valid. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're human.Loneliness doesn't always mean being physically alone.Sometimes it's being surrounded by people and still feeling unseen.Sometimes it's missing someone who isn't here anymore.Sometimes it's wishing the holidays felt different than they do.But there are ways to soften that loneliness and reconnect — with others and with yourself.Tip 1: Reach Out Before You Need To A simple text, call, or message can open a door you didn't know was waiting for you. That is tough for me with what I do for a living, I'm supposed to HAVE the answers, what about you? Tip 2: Shift From Receiving to GivingActs of kindness — volunteering, donating, helping a neighbor — create connection and purpose. I LOVE "paying it forward" with coffee!! aka marinated bean water! what's yours? drop it in the comments!  Tip 3: Create Your Own TraditionsIf old traditions bring sadness, build new ones that reflect who you are today. I have one that I have tried to do Yearly with my nephews where we find a new comicbook store and explore that town for the dayTip 4: Use Technology as a BridgeVirtual dinners, group chats, or online communities can provide real emotional support.Tip 5: Acknowledge Your Feelings Without JudgmentLoneliness is not a flaw. It's a signal — a reminder that you deserve connection.I want YOU to know:“You're not alone in feeling alone. Many people are walking through the same quiet spaces.”SECTION 3: 5 More Healthy Holiday Tips reminders Tip 6: Use the “One Plate” Approach. Commit to one intentional plate instead of grazing all day.Tip 7: Bring a Dish You Feel Good About. Guarantee there's at least one balanced option you enjoy.Tip 8: Slow Down Your PacePut your fork down between bites. Let your body catch up with your brain.Tip 9: Alternate Alcohol With WaterKeeps you hydrated and helps you stay mindful.Tip 10: Protect Your SleepGood sleep reduces cravings and supports emotional and hormone balance.As we head into the holidays, remember this:Taking care of yourself is not selfish — it's essential.Whether that means making mindful choices at the dinner table or reaching out when you're feeling alone, you deserve to feel good in your body and supported in your spirit.The holidays can be complicated, but you're stronger, more resilient, and more worthy than you know.From all of us here at The Live to Progress Podcast, we're wishing you peace, connection, and moments of joy — big or small — wherever you find them. Stay kind to yourself. Stay connected.And I'll see you in the next episode! TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Merry Christmas from LTP!P.S.-Jacqueline got the house! Follow LTP on Social Media

It's Christmas Eve in Oldhampton and as residents enjoy what's left of their pre-holiday errands, cub reporter Sonia is looking to eschew the society fluff of her regular assignments by tackling a more thrilling angle. Nobody has yet spent a night among the wax effigies in the local Hall of Horrors without meeting a ghastly end. Success here would certainly propel Sonia over the bigoted jibes and through the glass ceiling of her toxic workplace. Ethel Lina White's "Waxworks" first appeared in the December 1930 edition of Pearson's magazine and was the precursor to her 1935 novel, "Wax". In Part 1 of LTP's Festive Season Triptych, your hosts explore this fascinating short story and its context.Fast Facts@14:45; Summary@38:45; PIPES@45:45

Welcome to another "Monday Morning Brew" Series! Today we're diving into a topic that affects all of us this time of year: healthy eating during the holidays. The season is full of joy, connection, and... let's be honest, lots of food. But how do we enjoy it all without feeling weighed down? Let's explore 5 practical tips.Tip 1: Don't Skip Meals Before the Big Feast. Skipping meals often backfires, leading to overeating later. Instead, eat a balanced breakfast or snack with protein and fiber to stabilize your appetite. For Example: Greek yogurt with berries or a handful of almonds.Tip 2: Prioritize the “Stars ” of the Table. Fill half your plate with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This ensures you enjoy holiday favorites without crowding out nutrient-rich foods. Think roasted veggies, turkey, or quinoa salad before diving into desserts.Tip 3: Practice Mindful IndulgenceDon't forbid holiday treats—savor them slowly. Mindful eating helps you enjoy food more and prevents overconsumption. So definitely enjoy the pies, but make it a conscious choice, not a mindless habit.Tip 4: Hydrate Before You CelebrateThirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drink water throughout the day and have a glass before meals. This reduces unnecessary snacking and balances alcohol intake.Tip 5: Balance Indulgence with Movement. Pair festive eating with light activity: a family walk, dancing, or holiday shopping laps. Staying active helps digestion and keeps energy levels steady.Overall, remember, the holidays are about joy and connection. Healthy choices help you feel goodenough to enjoy every moment. Sending you all big love from mi familia to yours!TEAM LTP:Voice-over credits

Dans cet épisode #289 , j'ai invité Rémi Rivet et Étienne Chave , deux coachs sportifs diplômés, pour parler du cycle de vitesse dans l'entraînement en trail.Quel est l'intérêt de programmer un cycle de ce type, que ce soit pour un traileur qui s'oriente sur des objectifs de courte, moyenne, ou longue distance ? Quand le positionner ?Vous allez voir que la réponse à ces questions est évidemment à nuancer selon les profils de coureur, leur spécificité et celle de leurs objectifs.Quoiqu'il en soit les gains d'un travail sur le plat sont réels et se transfèrent sur terrains spécifiques au trail, sur le plan mécanique mais aussi le coût énergétique.Je vous laisse découvrir cet épisode et vous souhaite une bonne écoute !

Merry almost Christmas LTP! Now that we have officially started Christmas on LTP, Jacqueline and Meghan watched White Christmas. Somehow Meghan had never seen it and we're pretty sure that hurt Cari's soul from far away. The girls also talk about their favorite Rankin and Bass holiday movies. Meghan finds out Jacqueline doesn't love Frosty, lots of awkward reindeer noises are made, and as usual, so much chaos in the beginning and end of this episode…..that has quite literally nothing to do with Christmas. Anyway friends, Happy Listening! Follow LTP on Social Media

Before Philip Marlowe there was... "shamus"... aka Proto-Marlowe!In this episode, Scott goes on solo assignment through the pages of Black Mask magazine to share his thoughts on Raymond Chandler's 1935 story "Killer in the Rain", the key progenitor of The Big Sleep. From salacious booksellers to double-crossing hoods, this complex story presented readers with the blueprint for what would become a sinful California and a gripping, fool-proof character methodology that Chandler would draw and double-down upon for years to come. So grab your trench-coats and join LTP through the drenched pavements and heavy secrets of LA. Watch where you step, it's wet out there.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! Today, host Jennifer Glass dives deep into the realms of mental health, emotional resilience, and personal transformation with her guest, Morry Zelcovitch. Morry shares his powerful journey from a childhood filled with overwhelming noise, severe depression, and self-destructive behaviors, to discovering a life of hope and positivity—all without the aid of medication.In this episode, Morry opens up about his decades-long battle with depression, the unconventional paths he explored in search of relief, and the pivotal role brainwave entrainment played in changing his life. Jennifer and Morry discuss what brainwave entrainment really is, how our brains shape the way we perceive and respond to the world, and why being present in the moment is so crucial for growth and healing. Morry gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his unique approach (including the science and sound behind his methods), discusses the power of intentional thinking, and encourages us to interpret life's challenges as lessons, not punishments.Whether you or someone you know has struggled with emotional ups and downs, this episode is packed with insights, practical advice, and hope. Tune in to learn how small shifts in perception—and a little help from neuroscience—can massively impact your quality of life.About my guest: Morry's journey is one of personal transformation. From a childhood plagued by severe depression and other challenges, he discovered a fascinating connection between the rhythmic sounds in his environment and his own well-being. This realization sparked a deep dive into the world of brainwave entrainment. Unsatisfied with the limited results from existing products, Morry sought out the world's leading expert in the field to uncover the secrets to making the technology truly effective. Having overcome his own struggles, he has now dedicated his life to a powerful mission: helping others improve their quality of life and achieve profound changes without relying on pharmaceuticals.Connect with Morry on LinkedIn, and on the web at https://www.themorrymethod.com.
