Dr. Matthew Jones is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with co-founders to help manage critical conflicts that threaten their success. He is the author of the book, "The Cofounder Effect: How to Diagnose, Fix, and Scale Healthy Communication for Startup Success." Matt has worked with hundreds of bootstrapped and VC-funded co-founder teams to help them repair and manage their relationships in the context of their growing business. In this episode, we discuss a wide range of co-founder relationship topics, including: Why co-founder alignment sets the floor and ceiling for entire company culture and employee performance. How most co-founder conflicts aren't about surface issues but deeper psychological needs for recognition and power. Why research shows companies founded by friends are more unstable than those started by strangers. The three communication languages of cofounders: operational (business), psychological (feelings), and archetypal (the vibe). Quote from Dr. Matthew Jones, a clinical psychologist “And those differences can start off and be quite positive. If we can manage that tension effectively. That's the magic of co-founders, right? Is the complementary skills and ways of operating that allows you to land somewhere even more effective than you could have individually.  “But those same differences that give you that magic sauce also can be sources of friction, like an arthritic knee that just aches every now and then, and sometimes gets worse and worse, right? And so that's where the tensions really have to be managed. And so that's why I advocate for making those differences as conscious and explicit as possible.” Links Dr. Matthew Jones on LinkedIn Cofounder Clarity website  Book: “The Cofounder Effect: How to Diagnose Fix and Scale Healthy Communication for Startup Success”   The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

What happens when one of Google's top AI strategists also happens to be a yogi, author, and self-described “Happy Human”?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists' Summer Series, hosts Timothy Henry and Dev Patnaik speak with Gopi Kallayil, Chief Business Strategist for AI at Google. Together, they explore how businesses can navigate radical uncertainty in an age of exponential technological disruption and why AI should be seen as a tool for human advancement rather than a threat.From Google's pivots (“search-first” to “mobile-first” to “AI-first”) to lessons on experimentation, failure, and 10x thinking, Gopi pulls back the curtain on how the tech giant adapts in the face of constant change. He also offers a deeply human perspective: blending insights from his books The Happy Human and The Internet to the Inner-Net, his yoga practice, and his spiritual explorations of what he calls AI, NI (natural intelligence), and DI (divine intelligence).This conversation isn't just about artificial intelligence - it's about what it means to stay human, conscious, and purpose-driven while riding the waves of disruption.Listeners will gain insights into:Why moments of disruption are opportunities for nonlinear breakthroughsHow Google cultivates a culture of experimentation, iteration, and failing wellThe importance of 10x thinking over incremental improvementsWhy companies should start with business strategy - not an “AI strategy”How AI is already transforming industries like healthcare, retail, and entertainmentWhat AI, natural intelligence, and divine intelligence can teach us about consciousnessPractical steps leaders can take to embrace uncertainty and future-proof their organizationsWhether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the intersection of AI and consciousness, this episode offers both strategic guidance and soulful wisdom.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Together, they dive into how leaders can guide their organizations through radical uncertainty, exponential change, and the AI revolution without leaving their people behind.Christine pulls from 30 years in Silicon Valley to reveal why 90% of AI transformation projects are failing - not because of technology, but because of people.

Partnering with G5 Parking Solutions, the service began on March 14, with over 50 cars using it during the inaugural weekend. Valet drop-off is located near The Crossing, operating Fridays and Saturdays (3:30–11 p.m.) and Sundays (3:30–9 p.m.) for $5 per vehicle. Standard public parking remains available, and the city is making adjustments based on feedback to improve the program. Residents are encouraged to share their experiences to help refine the service. STORY 2: New York investigation leads to arrest of suspect in Suwanee murder Gwinnett County police have arrested 20-year-old Delano Hill of Suwanee in connection with a 2022 murder and as a person of interest in a New York City crime. Hill is accused of fatally stabbing Matthew Jones on Sept. 5, 2022, when Hill was 17. Charged with felony and malice murder and aggravated assault, Hill was linked to the NYC case after sharing undisclosed details about a homicide. Following a joint investigation with NYPD, Hill was arrested at his home on March 21 and is now in Gwinnett County Jail. STORY 3: Lawmakers decide to ban cellphones in public elementary and middle schools Starting next fall, Georgia elementary and middle school students will be banned from using personal cellphones during school hours under the “Distraction-Free Education Act,” which passed the General Assembly with bipartisan support. Schools must provide ways for parents to contact children via the principal’s office, with exemptions for medical or disability-related needs. The ban, effective fully by July 2026, aims to reduce classroom distractions and improve student well-being, echoing global concerns about technology’s impact on children. While some suggest extending the ban to high schools, the current focus is on younger students. Gov. Brian Kemp will decide whether to sign the bill.

Send us a textThis week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Matthew Jones of The Cruise Maps. Based in UK, their ingenious, unique products based on maps of your cruise journey is far more than meets the eye. It all starts with your cruise shipʼs navigation system. While it was designed to help seafarers identify other ships and safely navigate the seas, it also enables The Cruise Maps to remotely follow the progress of every ship in the world in real time. A massive global network of satellite and land-based receivers are continuously sending signals them back to databases to store and analyze the global fleet's movements. This system is used for everything from managing traffic and tracking logistics, identifying illegal fishing and analyzing global trade. And now, for creating Cruise Maps! Imagine completing that cruise celebrating a milestone like a special birthday? The Cruise Maps can immortalize that special cruise with a unique, custom-made keepsake you won't find in souvenir shops or need to stuff in your luggage.The Cruise Maps story starts in 2007 when partners Matthew and Will were housemates at the University of Southampton, bonding over a shared love of travel, ships and the ocean. Will was a lifelong sailor and naval architect in training and Matthew was a Geography undergraduate with two seafaring parents, who met working on the Queen Elizabeth 2 in the 1980s. They found themselves, 16 years later in London, talking excitedly over breakfast about the possibilities of using satellite data in different ways—it wasn't really a huge surprise. That day in 2023, they teamed up to create the world's first personalized and entirely accurate print maps for cruise passengers. By using satellite ship tracking data, they managed to build a system that can take a passenger's basic cruise details and create the perfect map of where the ship actually wenRelying on ship wifi is slow, unsecure, sometimes not available & at foreign ports travelers don't want to pay their carriers' high fees.

This special BONUS EPISODE, entitled Stronger Together, is the epilogue to our special nine-part series. It's a closing conversation where our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcomed Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs, to explore the importance of community and connection in midlife, their thoughts + reflections on the series overall and why they were so passionate about supporting it.The conversation touches on how Womaness, a brand built for women by women, fosters community and trust, including a private Facebook Group called The After Party where over 9,000 women connect + share their insights and experiences about midlife. We also discuss the complex paradigm of women supporting women and why that sometimes feels difficult - both in life and in business.We also take a valuable look back on the series, leaving listeners with valuable insights from key episodes and share more on what's ahead for The Midlife Truth Project.About Our Guests:Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs met over 20 years ago. They became good friends early in their careers, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other. During a catchup a few years ago, Sally shared she'd been experiencing a variety of symptoms—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—and was surprised to learn that these were all related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, they realized that this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman's life.So they did something about it. Leveraging their combined skills and experiences, they created Womaness, the leading women's wellness brand, to modernize aging for women and to help them navigate their changing bodies with innovative products and solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Womanesshttps://womaness.com/Instagram @mywomanessFacebook @mywomanessJulie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstad Facebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Thanks so much for tuning in!
