What does it tell you about a company when every single person it hires, in every function, has to pass the same interview about culture?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez set the guest format aside for a conversation Marc started because he noticed something new. After two years of coaching people through interview loops, this was the first time he'd seen Ben genuinely fascinated by one specific interview at one specific company. Ben walks through what he's pieced together about Anthropic's culture interview: the no-exceptions policy, the rapid-fire format of ten or more questions in a single 45-minute slot, and the fact that anyone at the company, from marketing to IT, can be trained to run it.They explore the questions that actually get asked, what Ben believes is being evaluated underneath them, why “why Anthropic” demands more depth than the same question anywhere else, and whether the filter holds as the company gets hotter and more candidates learn to say the right things. Then they turn to the question Ben finds most interesting: why almost no other company does this, and what happens inside a company when employees are calibrated to evaluate culture.If you're preparing for an interview at a frontier lab, thinking about how your own company screens for values, or just curious what a well-designed culture filter looks like from the outside, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

I sat down with Jordan Bales this week for one of those conversations that starts as a catch-up and turns into a full-on masterclass — and I didn't even plan it that way. It's been way too long since Jordan and I recorded together (we live in the same town, so we keep telling ourselves we don't need a podcast to catch up — turns out we do). Jordan's got a trail camera bull he's chasing this fall — a mid-July photo puts him around 340", with room to grow into the 350 range by September — and he wanted to pick my brain on how to actually turn this thing up before archery season opens. So that's exactly what we did. We get into the real difference between hunting a "201-level" six-point and hunting a genuine target bull — because trust me, those are two completely different games. We talk about why elk don't respect your neat little three-mile circle on OnX, why a good bull might blow off his summer ground and go rut ten miles away, and why "air miles" is the only way to actually think about elk movement in big mountain country. We also get into backpack-hunt logistics, meat care in the backcountry, why purple roads and hiking trails matter less than you think (until they don't), and the mental shift it takes to go from "find one bull" to "learn four different herds at once." If you've got a shooter on camera right now and you're trying to figure out your game plan for opening week, this episode is basically a free coaching session. Grab a coffee and get ready to think differently about how elk actually use the mountain. This Episode's Sponsors Tricer This episode is brought to you by the good folks over at Tricer.

Three Key Takeaways Think in air miles, not trail miles. The mental trap most hunters fall into is measuring distance the way a human experiences it — on foot, along trails. Elk cover ground on a completely different scale. A bull that seems "close" to a herd on the map might actually be far enough that he's already moved on to check her and bounce. Recalibrating your sense of distance is one of the biggest jumps from intermediate to advanced elk hunting. Targeting one specific bull requires understanding every herd around him, not just his. The moment you commit to "301-level" hunting — chasing one specific animal instead of just filling a tag — the job changes from finding an elk to mapping an entire drainage system: every bachelor group, every cow herd, every likely wind-and-terrain funnel within a few miles. It's genuinely harder and less fun than general elk hunting, which is exactly why it usually takes a team. Patience beats pressure with a known target bull. The instinct to hike straight into a bull's last known location and start calling is usually the fastest way to lose him for the season. Watching from a distance, learning what the herd is doing morning and evening, and staying in "kid glove" mode until you actually have eyes on him gives you a far better shot than blowing him out of the country on day one.

Note: this episode contains screen sharing, so it's best watched on YouTube.What does a recruiter actually see in the ten seconds they spend on your LinkedIn profile, and what makes them scroll past?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chris Lee, founder of Product Scout, a boutique firm that helps early-stage founders make their first product hires. Chris explains the idea he calls candidate market fit, why he refuses to give profile feedback until he knows what role you're aiming at, and why a profile built to appeal to everyone ends up resonating with no one.Then he opens his actual tooling and walks through a live search for a head of product role at an AI-native pharma startup, showing the rubrics his agents score against and why almost everything at the top of the funnel comes down to keywords. He finishes by reviewing Marc's and Ben's own profiles against that role, out loud and unfiltered, and passes on both.If you're job searching and unsure whether your profile is working, weighing how specific to make your story, or a hiring manager curious how sourcing really happens now, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Alright guys, this one is mind-blowing. I know Mark Livesay is talented — you all know him from Treeline Academy, the best e-scouting course on the planet — but I was not ready for what he showed me on this episode. Mark's been locked in a cave for six months building something called Hunt Research IQ, and he brought it to the Elk Hunt Podcast for the very first reveal. First show. Nobody's seen this yet. This isn't a draw odds app. This isn't a spreadsheet. This is 20 years of harvest data for elk and deer across 11 Western states, run through AI, and turned into heat maps, custom scoring sliders, unit comparisons, moisture tracking, remote-core calculations, and print-ready reports that make every other research platform out there look like it's stuck in 2005. We get into how the scoring system works, why averaging three, five, and twenty years of data matters more than looking at last year's numbers, why Montana's fractional bonus points might be sabotaging your odds without you even knowing it, and how Mark's moisture-tracking tool is already changing how he plans hunts around drought years and burns. Then we shift gears and talk burns, same-year fire strategy, moisture-driven elevation shifts during the rut, and Mark's own busted rotator cuffs — which means he might be strapping a crossbow to a llama this September. You don't want to miss this one. Take a listen, then go dig into Hunt Research IQ yourself. Links below, and use code TRO for a discount from our guy Mark.

Chapters Time Segment 0:00 Intro & sponsor reads (onX Hunt, Maven Optics) 4:30 Welcome Mark Livesay — the big reveal, first show, six months in build mode 8:15 Elevator pitch: what is Hunt Research IQ? 12:00 Why averaging 3/5/20-year data beats single-year snapshots 17:30 Building custom scoring sliders and unit health trends 23:00 The heat map: dragging, hovering, live data pulls 28:45 Comparing units side by side & the "unit profile card" 34:15 Rankings tab, health trend colors, and finding sleeper units 40:00 101 / 201 / 301 hunter framework — what stats matter at each level 47:00 Print reports, unit briefs, and AI-written unit descriptions 53:30 Montana's fractional bonus point trap explained 58:00 Remote core, road density, and what "remote" really means 1:03:00 Bull-per-square-mile harvest density and reading hunting pressure 1:09:00 Moisture tracking tool & elevation focus bands 1:14:00 Hunt planning suite, checklist tool, and hike time calculator 1:18:30 Talking burns: mosaic vs. straight-edge fire boundaries 1:24:00 Live demo — analyzing a current Utah fire for same-year burn potential 1:29:00 Mark's Island Park story: why elk drop elevation in dry years 1:34:00 Rut timing shifting later into September 1:37:00 Mark's rotator cuff injury, crossbow talk, and this year's hunt plan 1:39:30 Pricing, free trial, and where to find Hunt Research IQ 1:40:30 Outro & free hunt planner (Timestamps are approximate — built from transcript flow, adjust to actual audio if needed.) Three Key Takeaways Averaging beats snapshots. A single year of harvest data can be wildly skewed by a low tag allocation or a random survey year. Looking at 3-year, 5-year, and all-time averages side by side — and watching whether a unit's score is trending up or down — tells you far more than last year's numbers alone. In Montana, buying a bonus point can hurt you. Mark's tool surfaced something almost nobody talks about: hunters with zero points had roughly a 53% draw chance in some units, while hunters with a single fractional point dropped to 0%, because a set percentage of tags are reserved specifically for zero-point applicants. Understanding your state's fractional point system can change your entire application strategy. "Go high" isn't a universal rule — moisture matters more. The common advice to push to the highest elevation in September doesn't always hold. In dry years, the grass at the top dies off first, and cows follow the moisture downhill toward better feed. Tracking soil moisture data for a basin can tell you more about where elk will actually be than elevation alone.

Throwback Thursday brings us one of the most fascinating conversations we've ever had.Dr. Randy Bell is a sociologist, economist, author, and internationally recognized disaster recovery expert known as the "Master of Disaster." For decades, he has consulted on hundreds of major disasters and high-profile events around the world, studying how individuals and communities recover from trauma and adversity.In this episode, Randy shares how his experience studying trauma, resilience, and recovery applies directly to faith transitions, religious deconstruction, and life after Mormonism. Drawing from years of working with victims of tragedy and disaster, he explains the trauma cycle, the path toward healing, and how adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth.This highlight reel features some of the most memorable moments from our conversation. If you've experienced a faith crisis, major life transition, or personal setback, Randy's insights may help you see the journey in an entirely new light.

A police department honoring a lifelong wrestling fan shouldn't feel rare, but it does and it immediately sets the tone for a night that's equal parts heart and chaos. We share Buddy's special recognition with the Jonesboro Police Department, talk about what it means to show up for your community, and why the best wrestling stories are sometimes the ones that happen far away from TV cameras.From there, things get wild fast: a high school football player complains something is moving inside his helmet and the reveal is a cottonmouth snake. That story turns into real road-life talk about outdoor shows, checking your gear, and surviving the kind of heat Mac is about to face while heading to the Gathering of the Juggalos for JCW and a live TrillerTV weekend. We also pull back the curtain on unexpected gigs that come from wrestling, including Mac laying down “Mad Mac” style lines for a rap album.Listener questions drive the rest of the ride: Teddy Long shares memories of Paul Orndorff, talks about promoter pay and fairness as travel costs rise, and explains the mindset behind ring setup and teardown after the AJ Styles' son debate. We even get into classic locker-room chemistry with Ron Simmons and JBL, plus Teddy's all-time favorite Undertaker moment and a few strong opinions on bald-headed wrestling legends.If you like wrestling podcasts with real stories, honest advice about independent wrestling, and plenty of laughs along the way, hit play, then subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Sharon Gai, author, keynote speaker, and educator.We'll cover:(00:00) - Intro (01:21) - In This Episode (05:20) - How AI Moves Marketing Creativity Up the Abstraction Layer (09:08) - Why Taste Is No Longer a Durable Human Skill (15:33) - What Human Work Looks Like After AI Learns Taste (20:41) - How to Codify Taste Into Your AI Systems (27:20) - Why Hands-On Execution Still Builds Judgment AI Can't Copy (36:48) - How to Build a Personal AI Strategy and Learn How to Learn (39:31) - Why Seeing Your Job as Tasks Rather Than a Role Future-Proofs Your Career (48:12) - Why You Should Tinker With AI Before You Cut Back on Meetings (54:13) - How Students Can Adapt to Graduating Into an AI Economy (01:02:13) - How to Decide What Deserves Your Energy Summary: Sharon Gai wrote a book telling everyone that taste and judgment were the durable human skills AI couldn't touch, then went on record to take half of it back. In this episode she walks through why taste is now codifiable, why originality still belongs to humans, and how she pulled a McKinsey-grade deck out of Claude by feeding it her own best work. We get into the lost generation of junior executors, the beekeeper mindset that separates orchestrators from busy bees, and a token-maxing hot pot dinner that made her swear off wasting agents. She even hands over a deathbed test for deciding what deserves your energy. If you've ever wondered which of your skills actually survive the next few years, this one is a map.About Sharon GaiSharon Gai is an author, keynote speaker, and educator who helps professionals future-proof their careers in an AI-driven economy. She teaches on Maven and speaks to audiences around the world about how AI is reshaping creativity, work, and the roles people play inside their companies. Her latest book uses the image of busy bees and beekeepers to argue that the future belongs to the people who orchestrate AI rather than execute every task themselves.Before writing and speaking full time, she spent years in enterprise tech, starting out helping IT directors and CIOs build data centers at the dawn of the cloud era. That hands-on background shows up throughout her work, especially in how she thinks about the difference between doing the work and orchestrating it.How AI Moves Marketing Creativity Up the Abstraction LayerWhen cameras got cheap, painters thought they were finished. Why spend weeks rendering a face in oil when a machine could capture it in a fraction of a second? Plenty of people called photography mechanical, soulless, artless. The threat was real, and the outcome was stranger than anyone expected. Freed from copying the world exactly, painters walked through a door cameras couldn't follow, into Impressionism, Cubism, and everything that made modern art feel alien at first. Sharon sees the same door swinging open for marketers right now, and the word she keeps returning to is abstraction.Walk through any art museum and you can watch this happen on the walls. The 1800s rooms are full of precision: portraits rendered to the eyelash, battle scenes with every horse in place, oceans and landscapes you could almost step into. Then you reach the modern wing, and some people stop and say "I could have done that." The work got harder to read. You have to stand there a moment, wonder who the artist was and why they picked this particular black over a lesser one. The craft survived by climbing a level, from rendering reality to deciding what the piece should mean.Sharon's marketing version is concrete. A few years ago you drew up a Facebook ad yourself, designed the banner, and loaded it into the platform's back end by hand. Now that whole chain can run on its own. So what does the marketer actually do? The real decisions look different now. You choose whether to test one ad or several hundred, each personalized to the person about to see it, whether the creative should be a flat image or a video, and if it's video, what belongs on screen. The manual work shrinks and the number of real decisions explodes. That's the abstracted layer, and it's where the job is heading whether marketers are ready or not.Over the next 2 years, the marketers who struggle will be the ones who still measure their worth by the execution those tools just swallowed.Key takeaway: Write down every part of your last campaign that was pure execution: building the banner, resizing creative, loading it into the platform, pulling the report. Hand those tasks to AI on your next campaign and pour the reclaimed hours into the layer above them. Decide which audiences, how many variants, what format each one takes, and what the creative is actually trying to make someone feel.Why Taste Is No Longer a Durable Human SkillFor about a year, the safe career advice sounded identical everywhere. Let AI do the work, but hold onto taste and judgment, because those are the human skills a machine can't reach. Tech CEOs repeated it on every stage. Sharon believed it too, and wrote it into her book. A few months later she started taking half of it back.Her reasoning is uncomfortable if you've built a career on your eye. What is taste, really? For an expert artist it's roughly 10,000 hours of seeing the bad versions and the good versions until they can tell the difference on sight. That makes the taste expert something close to a mini LLM, a person pummeled with enough examples to develop a reliable read on quality. And if taste is just a very large training set, there's no obvious reason you can't hand those examples to a model.Sharon is careful about where she draws the new line. In AI time, she points out, a single day can feel like a year, so any strong opinion has a short shelf life. She'll grant that judgment might still belong to humans, but taste she no longer counts in that column. Her position in June of 2026 is that taste is codifiable, and that alone knocks it off the list of things only people can do.Where Originality Still Separates Humans From AIShe used to open talks with a slide that read: creativity does not equal originality. The words sound like twins, and they describe 2 different things. AI can be creative. It can paint in an impressionist style and produce something that would look at home in a modern gallery. Originality means something genuinely novel, something that hasn't appeared anywhere before, and everything a model makes was pre-trained on what already exists.The gap shows up most clearly in how humans move between domains. Narrow AI, the kind we mostly use today, is trained on one field. General intelligence takes a principle from physics class and applies it to biology, or borrows something from construction and uses it while cooking. People do this instinctively from childhood. Machines still struggle with the leap, which is why originality, for now, stays on the human side of the ledger even as taste crosses over.If taste is now a training asset, the marketers still selling "good taste" as their moat are pricing a skill the market is about to commoditize.Key takeaway: Stop treating your taste as something locked inside your head. Start capturing it instead. Save the emails, decks, and campaigns you consider excellent right next to the weak ones, label what makes each good or bad, and feed both to your AI tools so the model learns your specific standard rather than a generic one.What Human Work Looks Like After AI Learns TasteEvery few months someone publishes a confident map of what work looks like in 2030. Ask Sharon and she starts by lowering the temperature. Most of it is prediction, and prediction is ch...

What happens when you pass every interview, get approved for an offer, and then hear nothing for five months?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga interviews Ben Erez about team matching, the stage at large companies where an approved candidate waits for a hiring manager to claim them. Ben walks through how the process actually works from the inside, drawing on his own path into Facebook and what he has since heard from people going through it now.They explore why hiring managers exhaust internal candidates first, what a company-wide reshuffle does to everyone waiting outside, the reported changes at Meta that have left candidates in silence, and the moves that are still within a candidate's control, including how to see the roles that never get posted publicly and what to say when you reach out.If you're sitting in team matching wondering whether to keep waiting, preparing for a generalist loop at a big company, or a leader trying to understand why your approved candidate pool keeps growing, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday.Today we're revisiting Episode 73 with Maven — a conversation that's equal parts calm, reflective, and unexpectedly emotional.We originally filmed this out on the water, surrounded by open sky, gentle waves, and the kind of quiet that makes people talk a little more honestly than they planned to. In this highlight cut, we've pulled together the most memorable moments from that day — including Maven's story, the atmosphere on the boat, and the turning point that made this episode stand out.

As building gets easier and almost anyone can ship an app in an afternoon, what actually separates a product leader who creates leverage from one who doesn't?In this special live episode of Supra Insider, recorded on stage at the Toronto Product Conference, Marc Baselga sits down with Colin Matthews, Head of Education for Lenny's Newsletter and a former founder, PM, and longtime hobbyist builder. Marc lays out a thesis that the best way to prepare for the AI era is to build a real side project, one with actual users and ideally revenue, and Colin pressure-tests it with the framework he uses himself: start with distribution, then work backward to the customers and problems you can reach.They explore the blurring lines between product, engineering, and design, why the code review bar stays the same no matter who writes the code, when to ship a PR versus a prototype versus a spec, why Colin uses AI for comprehension rather than raw velocity, and the two distribution paths he has actually seen work for solo builders.If you're a PM wondering which skills matter most next, a product leader trying to get your team building, or anyone who keeps starting side projects that never find users, this episode is for you.Huge thanks to Balaji Gopalan, Andrew Williams, and the team at The Toronto Product Conference for hosting us.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What separates the people who get stronger after a rejection from the people who stay stuck on it?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez drop the guest format for a one-on-one conversation, with Marc interviewing Ben about a piece he started writing on vacation. The trigger was an email from someone who prepared hard, didn't get the role, and said it was impossible not to take it personally. Ben explains why that reaction revealed the real subject was resilience, what he notices when debriefing candidates who bounce back versus those who don't, and why he tells people to transcribe their interviews rather than trust their memories.They explore the four ingredients Ben believes actually cultivate resilience, the one situation where sending a hiring manager more than a thank-you note can swing a decision, and the step-by-step protocol he runs when something falls apart, drawn from three layoffs, a long run of rejections before his Facebook offer, and a torn ACL.If you're coming off a rejection and trying to make sense of it, preparing for interviews and looking for a better way to debrief yourself, or just curious how two operators think about setbacks, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

When ML/AI Engineer William Horton last joined me, Maven Assistant had reached its first external users the day before. The healthcare AI agent was available to 20 percent of Maven Clinic's users, and the team had deliberately withheld answers about benefits. A wrong response could shape a decision involving $15,000 of fertility coverage, and the evals had not earned the right to ship it.Four months later, Maven Assistant is available to 100 percent of users, benefits answering is live, and weekly conversation volume has grown by roughly ten times. Real usage also overturned part of the roadmap. The team had invested heavily in provider search and appointment tools, but 50 to 60 percent of early conversations were basic health questions such as whether someone could eat tuna while pregnant.Production changed the engineering system too. An emergency guardrail told someone already in the ER to go to the ER. Zendesk content told people already using the Maven app to open the app. A newer model failed an upcoming-appointments eval because it correctly noticed that the mocked appointments were in the past.William explains how Maven turns those failures into deterministic tests, LLM judges, synthetic negatives, and manual review. He also walks through the move from Gemini Flash models toward newer OpenAI models, what GPT-5.6 and Fable mean for a production agent, why model upgrades can make old prompt instructions obsolete, and why open-weight models still have to justify their GPU, infrastructure, and engineering costs.“If anybody tells you that they've got their evaluations so good that they can just swap a model and know, with no manual review, that it's going to be better, that person is probably lying, or they work at one of three places in the world.”— William Horton, Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Maven ClinicYou can also find the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

I’ve known Chris Piper for a couple years now, ever since a mutual friend put us in touch and he told me he wanted to get into the hunting industry. I didn’t think that was a terrible idea — okay, I kind of did — but this guy’s skill set is legit. He’s built marketing and ops departments for a $5 billion car company, ran point for Cody Sanchez at Contrarian Thinking, and now he’s out on his own helping companies bridge the gap between marketing and operations. But this episode isn’t really about business tactics. It’s about the whole arc — losing the fighter pilot dream to asthma, racing Formula cars and street racing through his teens, becoming a dad at 21 with zero parenting rights and fighting his way back from that, and grinding through corporate America to build the life he actually wanted. We get into whether buying “boring” small businesses is a real path to freedom or just a fancy way to buy yourself a job, why being a generalist beats being a specialist in the AI era, and what losing a neighbor to a sudden brain tumor taught him about “someday.” We also talk hunting — his first elk hunt, what he picked up from a week at Cliff Gray’s Elk Camp, and why patience in the mountains is the same skill as patience in business. If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, or like you’re waiting for “someday” to start living the life you actually want, this one’s for you. Sponsors Bridger Watch This is a project I’ve personally been working on for a long time — a smartwatch actually built for hunting. Everyone told us we couldn’t take on Garmin, but I think we’ve built something amazing. The standout feature is the mapping. On top of all your normal smartwatch stuff — health tracking, fitness tracking, texts — Bridger Watch has the best mapping capability of any wearable out there. You can save offline maps, send them straight to your watch, and pan around right on your wrist with a screen that’s genuinely impressive. And because we integrate directly with onX, you can share your waypoints, tracks, and markups right to the watch — so if your phone dies or you lose it in the field, you’ve always got a backup. We’re not trying to replace your phone maps. We’re trying to give you redundancy in a wearable you’ll actually use every single day of the year. bridgerwatch.com Maven Optics (Note: the ad copy for Maven wasn’t in the transcript I was given, so I’ve written this based on Maven’s general brand positioning — swap in the actual episode read if you have it.) Maven builds premium hunting optics — riflescopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes — and sells direct to the hunter instead of marking everything up through a retail middleman. That means you’re getting glass that goes toe-to-toe with the big legacy brands, at a price that actually makes sense, backed by their unconditional lifetime warranty. mavenbuilt.com Use code TRO at checkout for a discount.

Chris talks about resetting his expectations daily instead of holding himself (or his team, or his family) to a fixed standard 24/7. Some weeks call for going all-in on the business; other weeks, the win is just showing up as a present dad. Adjusting the bar to the moment isn’t lowering it — it’s being honest about what’s actually needed right now. In the AI era, being a curious generalist beats being a narrow specialist. Chris didn’t get ahead by mastering one skill — he stacked social media, SEO, PPC, PR, and operations, then learned to move fluidly between marketing and ops. The real leverage now isn’t knowing one thing deeply; it’s having enough taste and curiosity to judge what AI (or anyone else) hands you and say, “that works” or “that’s BS.” Buying a small business can absolutely change your life — but it’s still a job, just a different kind of hard. Chris saw thousands of people go through the acquisition process at Contrarian Thinking. Some genuinely built freedom and equity; others just bought themselves a demanding new job with their name on the door. The difference wasn’t the business model — it was whether the buyer had real operating leverage (sales, marketing, or ops chops) going in.

Dillon Ness is back on the show, and dude, this one's a good one. If you haven't heard our last conversation, go find it — I've always considered Dillon one of the best open country elk killers I know. But what people don't realize is the guy crushes it in the mountains just as hard. Well-rounded doesn't even cover it. In this episode, Dillon walks me through the full story of last year's mountain bull — a hunt that started with him throwing a dart at a map, glassing bulls pouring off the alfalfa at first light, getting boogered by other hunters, losing the herd, and eventually catching them in the dark on their last drink of water before bed. It's one of the best hunt breakdowns we've recorded, emotional gut-punch ending and all. From there we get into the nuts and bolts — how to actually dog a herd in the dark without blowing them up, why satellite bulls are your best friend, what 20 failed days of hunting really look like (because that's 90% of the season, not the highlight reel), midday strategy for guys who don't have 27 days to burn, and the biggest lesson 301-level hunting has taught both of us: elk are never random, and neither should your strategy be. We also get into a mindset shift that I think is worth the price of admission alone — using onX the wrong way is probably costing you elk without you even knowing it. Grab your coffee, settle in, this one's just shy of an hour and fifteen, and it's packed. This Episode's Sponsors

Do tanque e do porta-aviões do século XX aos drones baratos que destroem tanques de milhões, da IA que escolhe alvos em segundos (Lavender, Maven, Claude Mythos) aos robôs que já caminham no campo de batalha: neste episódio mergulhamos na maior revolução da tecnologia de guerra dos últimos 100 anos. Do “laboratório” da Ucrânia de drones FPV e fibra óptica, a IA transformou a decisão de matar em algoritmo, passando pela guerra de narrativas com deepfakes que ninguém mais sabe o que é real e o que está acontecendo.

After an unexpected layoff, Eric Posen went from day-one outreach to three offers and a director role at Super.com in six weeks.In this episode, Eric breaks down the search in detail: how he mobilized his network, why he thinks cold applications are dead in this market, what made a referral effective, and the Claude tools he built to track roles and tailor his résumé.The biggest surprise came across seven interview processes: not one interviewer asked how he used AI. Eric, Marc, and Ben unpack why, along with take-home assignments, taste, negotiating scope and level, and choosing between three offers.This episode will be useful if you're searching for a role, preparing for interviews, or rebuilding your hiring process for the AI era.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Every capability in an agent needs its own evidence and release bar. A model-provider slip, an incorrect tool call, and a wrong fertility-benefits answer should not be held to the same pass rate.William Horton, Staff AI Engineer at Maven Clinic, joined us the day after Maven Assistant reached its first external users. The agent helps members inside Maven Clinic's women's and family healthcare platform find providers, manage appointments, navigate Maven, and get basic health information. William had spent much of launch day reading chat traces and turning the surprises into product decisions and tests.William shows how a production failure moves through Maven's system: the trace becomes a regression case, code handles deterministic checks, and LLM judges cover behavior that cannot be reduced to exact outputs. Human labels calibrate those judges, while the consequence of a wrong answer determines whether the capability ships. You can apply the same release workflow to the agent you are building now.“For a lot of our tool-call evaluation, I'll accept that it runs ten times and passes nine times. Going for that ten out of ten is just not worth the effort.”— William Horton, Staff AI Engineer, Maven ClinicYou can also find the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

On this episode, Senior Editor Kate Klonick speaks with Steve Feldstein, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, about his recent Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists essay on AI targeting systems. Feldstein argues that the conventional wisdom about AI warfare has it backwards: the technology's battlefield debut in Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza is real and consequential, but AI targeting is not a model you download—it's a stack of surveillance infrastructure, data pipelines, battle management software, and strike capacity that takes decades and billions to build, which means it will spread far more slowly and unevenly than the common narrative suggests.Among the things they discuss: what the Iran War's staggering Maven numbers do and don't prove, how Israel became the case study in what it actually takes to build an AI kill chain, why the same handful of American tech companies that govern online speech now supply the infrastructure of targeting—and who is accountable when they do, whether the UAE is next, and whether export controls, or norms, can realistically slow any of it down.Additional resources:Steve Feldstein, “Bytes and Bullets: Global Rivalry, Private Tech, and the New Shape of Modern Warfare” (St. Martin's Press, September 2026)Steve Feldstein, "Anthropic-Pentagon Feud Over AI Technology Is a Bad Sign" (Foreign Policy, February 2026)Steve Feldstein, “The Rise of Digital Repression: How Technology is Reshaping Power, Politics, and Resistance” (Oxford University Press, 2021)To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Tech workers can be rigorous at work and surprisingly loose with their own money. After more than 200 coaching sessions, Vaibhav Goel keeps seeing the same patterns: too much wealth tied up in one company's stock, excess cash sitting idle, missed tax-advantaged accounts, and generic advice that does not fit high earners.In this episode, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Vaibhav Goel, a former product leader at DoorDash, Google, Lyft, LinkedIn, and Microsoft who now coaches tech professionals on their finances. They unpack what changes at different net-worth levels, how to think about 529s and concentrated equity, why traditional advisor models can miss this group, and what a more practical financial plan can look like.They explore the most common money mistakes he sees, how priorities shift at different net-worth levels, plain-English breakdowns of things like 529 accounts and long-short investing, why traditional advisor incentives leave a lot of tech workers underserved, and how to think about diversifying a portfolio that has become dangerously concentrated in one stock.If you're a tech worker who optimizes everything at work but defaults on your own finances, someone sitting on concentrated company stock and unsure what to do next, or anyone curious how the newly wealthy actually handle sudden money, this episode is for you.This conversation is for education only and is not personal financial, investment, or tax advice.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Only 19% of employees can consistently tell their company's story. That means 81% of your brand touchpoints are leaking narrative — and costing you customers. Elliott Rayner's groundbreaking research explains why, and what to do about it. Elliott Rayner — fractional Head of Storytelling and author of The State of Storytelling 2026 — analyzed 25 emerging Chief Storytelling Officer job descriptions from the world's most sophisticated companies to uncover a seismic shift: the best organizations are no longer treating brand narrative as a creative function. They're operationalizing it. In this episode, Elliott and host Park Howell reveal: Why Narrative Entropy is the silent killer of brand growth — and the single metric that exposes it instantly What a Chief Storytelling Officer actually does (hint: it's far less about creating stories and far more about creating alignment) The 3-question survey you can run inside your company this week to make the business case for StoryOps™ Why "execution has become cheap but meaning has not" — and what that means for your competitive strategy in the AI age How to get your head of sales, legal, product, and finance all telling the same story without a fight Whether you're a CMO, a founder, a product marketer, or someone quietly operating as your organization's unofficial head of storytelling — this episode is your mandate and your blueprint.

What does it actually take to move an entire company from handwriting PRDs to shipping features with agents in two years?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Alex Meyers, Principal Product Manager at Gusto, to trace how the company became AI-native from the inside. Alex shares how his own quiet tool use turned into a C-suite demo, why that demo made clear that you cannot simply mandate “be AI native,” and how PM AI hackathons became the ritual that moved the org forward.They explore why dedicated, uninterrupted build time beats an hour here and there, why the ritual has to recur as the tools keep changing, how roughly three-quarters of the PM org now merges pull requests, and where Alex thinks the work is heading as loops and goals let PMs spend more time on customers and taste.If you're a product leader trying to raise your team's AI fluency, a founder deciding how much structure to put around learning, or an operator wondering what the PM role becomes when agents handle the busywork, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

每周新书听友群微信号：yinmingshu002。音频文字发布在公众号“北京读天下”。从美军内部的情况来看，Maven计划的成功有很大的偶然性。据记者调查，国防部人工智能应用项目多达数百个。计算机视觉识别技术是公开的，其他项目也可以自行开发。丘克的领导力首先体现在内部创业中的产品市场匹配，在一群关注武器和火力的军官中，他第一个提出，情报工作才是人工智能服务最能发挥价值的匹配市场。人工智能以用户友好的方式帮助指挥官从混乱的信息中找出支持能够直接决策的关键信息，并且能够以前所未有的速度和规模提供这一服务。在技术开发模式上，他摒弃了依赖主承包商的传统作业，直接从创业企业采购技术。在项目管理上，他让组织结构和活动方式支持硅谷创业企业的工作环境。2026年5月，丘克在《财富》上发表文章总结人工智能应用的经验。他说Maven计划开始时国防部内部的怀疑是有道理的，过去的软件项目往往超时，超预算，而且质量不佳。Maven计划有所不同不是因为AI技术，而是因为它所实施的组织变革。Maven计划的领导者致力于打破国防部原来的工作流程，将战场表现作为唯一的评价指标。根据2026年斯坦福AI指数，美国企业在AI应用方面排名全球第24名。这和美国在算法上的依靠优势极不相称，然而所有企业在业绩报告中都没有提到这一事实。丘克说，美国AI应用的落后不是因为技术落后，也不是因为投资不足，而是因为缺乏组织能力。

Chris Gomes set out to hire four AI product managers. Seven months later, his biggest lesson was not about AI at all.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chris Gomes, VP of Product at Conveyor, the Series B startup that automates responses to security questionnaires and RFPs. Chris walks through the seven months he spent hiring four AI PMs, why he spent so long defining what an “AI product manager” even means, and the realization that culture fit, not AI skill, was the thing that actually predicted success.They explore how he rebuilt a stalled interview process by pulling the most important screens to the front, the MOC framework he uses to map each interview step to specific competencies, his case for work trials and customer role-plays, how he treats references and back-channels, and why the gut-level question of whether you'd enjoy working with someone deserves more weight than most rubrics give it.If you're a hiring manager trying to run a tighter, higher-signal process, a founder thinking about your first product hires, or a PM preparing for interviews and wondering what teams are really evaluating, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Most UX professionals spend years trying to be good at everything. Eric Shumake, founder of HXR Labs, spent 20 years getting really good at one thing and it kept opening doors he didn't expect.Eric is a principal UX researcher and a well-known voice in healthcare UX. His career has taken him through companies like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Myriad Genetics, and AliveCor.He also teaches, including a popular course on Maven on breaking into healthcare UX, and has been exploring how AI can meaningfully (and responsibly) augment research without replacing the judgment that makes research trustworthy.In this episode, Eric and Sarah cover a lot of ground: how specializing almost always beats generalizing, what surprises people when they try to bring standard UX practices into clinical environments, why Eric thinks of every role as a gig, and what he'd prioritize if he were managing someone's job search like a product.Topics Discussed✅ Why specializing beats generalizing and how to niche down even when it feels risky✅ How transferable skills work in practice: why experience in one highly regulated industry (like finance) can open doors in another (like healthcare) ✅ The biggest blind spot people bring into healthcare UX✅ Why "recommendations are where insights go to die" and how to tie research to decisions and numbers so stakeholders actually act on it✅ Treating every role as a gig and why that mindset is more practical than it sounds in today's job market✅ Why posting consistently on LinkedIn is one of the highest-leverage things a UX professional can do in a job search right now✅ Where AI genuinely helps in UX research (desk research, competitive analysis, automating the time-consuming parts) and where to draw a hard line✅ What neurodivergence in the workplace looks like from the insideduring a job searchLinks & Resources

This episode contains some screen sharing so it's best watched on YouTubeWhat happens when one product leader decides to stop copy-pasting between chat windows and instead build an operating layer that puts coding agents in the hands of an entire company?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Kyler Ross, Head of Product at Cloaked, to walk through the internal “harness” he started building last Thanksgiving: an agent-friendly system of context files and scripts that lets agents read from and write to the team's real tools. Kyler explains how it gets installed on every company machine, why he treats each new agent session like onboarding an employee, and how a self-improving loop of skills and automated reviews keeps it getting better.They explore his day-to-day setup for running many agents at once, why worktrees and Claude Code hooks exist to make failure nearly impossible, a one-on-one prep skill that pulls context from every corner of the company, and the layered guardrails, including a nightly “librarian” agent, that keep confidential information from leaking.If you're a product or engineering leader trying to make your team more AI-native, someone wiring agents into real workflows, or anyone wrestling with how to run agents safely at scale, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

"A narrative lives or dies on the conviction of the most senior authorized leaders of the organizational system. The story is the strategy. A company without a story is usually a company without a strategy." — Michael Margolis | Storied, Inc.What if your organization's stories were the new code base? In this episode, Rain sits down with Michael Margolis, founder of Storied, Inc., and one of the most respected voices in organizational storytelling and narrative strategy, for a conversation that functions as a masterclass in how language, storytelling, and brand messaging actually drive business outcomes in the age of generative AI. Michael has spent over two decades pioneering narrative as a management discipline, working inside Facebook and Meta across 14 product divisions, advising companies like Google, Shopify, Uber, and NASA, and now serving as an operating partner for narrative at Veridical Ventures.This conversation goes deep into the distinction between story and narrative, two words most marketing strategy and brand storytelling content treats as interchangeable but which Michael argues are fundamentally different disciplines. A story is a closed loop with a beginning, middle, and end. A narrative is an open loop, an abstraction, an architecture that every individual story hangs from like an ornament on a Christmas tree. Michael breaks down the four waves of organizational storytelling, from early knowledge management to the social media era's democratization of brand narrative, to his seven years embedded inside Meta building the strategic narrative behind Facebook Groups, to today's narrative economy where large language models are, by definition, narrative machines.Whether you're a founder building brand purpose from scratch, a CMO trying to align your messaging house, or simply someone trying to understand why storytelling has quietly become the literal infrastructure of how modern organizations operate, this episode will change how you think about every word your company puts into the world.In this episode, you will learn to:Distinguish between story and narrative and understand why that distinction is the foundation of effective brand strategyRecognize language debt inside your own organization before it compounds into misalignment and confusionBuild narrative architecture using the thesis, first principles, identity layer, and evidence stack frameworkChoose coherence narratives over controlled narratives to navigate disruption and uncertainty with integrityUnderstand why large language models function as narrative machines and what that means for how you communicate going forwardLinks & ResourcesFollow Michael Margolis:Website → https://www.storiedinc.comLinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmargolisBook → Story 10x: Turn the Impossible Into the Inevitable by Michael Margolis https://amzn.to/4eUdxVxFirm → Veridical Ventures → https://www.veridical.vcLearning Platform → Narrative Intelligence courses on Maven → https://maven.com/storiedPerson Referenced → Steve Denning, founder of Golden Fleece community of practicePerson Referenced → Paul CostelloPerson Referenced → Shane Curry, Deloitte AustraliaPerson Referenced → John Hagel, Deloitte Center for the EdgePerson Referenced → Ben Horowitz, Andreessen HorowitzPerson Referenced → Jose Velez, Curation LabsFor more storytelling tips and strategies, visit:Website → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

SpaceX's launched its initial public offering. It's a big move for SpaceX, not only to continue to develop some of its current projects like Starship, but it also brings a new wave of people hoping to invest in the company's future. Plus, NASA lost contact with Maven, a satellite studying Mars. After efforts to contact Maven failed, the space agency officially declared the mission unrecoverable.

How do we introduce AI into high-stakes human environments without losing trust, safety, judgment, or effectiveness?This episode features a conversation with Lacey Picazo, CEO and founder of ZoCo Design, a research and design consultancy focused on helping organizations build human-centered digital products and AI experiences. Lacey, a professional product designer by trade, is a serial entrepreneur with strong opinions on the ways customer behavior interplays with AI and can change depending on the application or the environment.  With host Shannon Peavey, Lacey discusses a case study where her firm worked with mTuitive, a leader in digital pathology and cancer care, in order to illuminate the way behavioral science, workflow design, and human-centered product thinking can shape whether AI succeeds or fails in clinical environments.Rather than treating AI adoption as a purely technical challenge, this episode explores how clinicians and patients respond emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally when AI enters decision-making processes, and why “more automation” is not always better.This is a thoughtful discussion about innovation, responsibility, understanding the rewards - as well as the risks - of a future that is reckoning with finding the right formulas for human-machine collaboration. Importantly, it also addresses the ways we can support the next generation in an AI-shaped world.Lacey is part of our exclusive new Product Rising podcast series, where host Shannon Peavey explores the world of AI Ethics, Safety & Responsibility .00:00 Intro to the topic: AI enters healthcare01:33 Why healthcare is different from other industries04:05 Consumer product thinking doesn't always work05:54 The stakeholder problem: patients, providers, payers, and more07:02 Trust is kind of a big deal08:29 Today it's easy to build, but still not easy to get adoption09:55 Tempted to skip testing?

Lightning may flash through the skies of Mars. But don’t expect to see big, jagged streaks like those produced by storms on Earth. Instead, they may be tiny sparks – like fireflies twinkling through a summer evening. On Earth, lightning is generated by the motions of bits of ice inside clouds. As the particles move past each other, they build up an electric charge. They dis-charge as lightning. The clouds on Mars are high and thin, so there’s no way for them to make big lightning bolts. But the dust grains that swirl through the Martian atmosphere might generate their own discharges. And two recent studies found evidence of them. In the first, researchers combed through recordings made by a microphone on the Perseverance rover. They found 55 instances of small “crackling” sounds near the rover. Almost all of them happened during dust storms, or when small dust devils passed the rover. The scientists decided the most likely explanation for the crackles was tiny discharges – “lightning” bolts about a centimeter long. In the second study, a team looked at observations made by the MAVEN orbiter. The scientists looked for radio waves produced by lightning, which are different from other types of radio from the planet. They found a single example – a possible flicker in Martian skies. Even if lightning is small and rare, it could interfere with future Mars landers – perhaps endangering instruments and people on the Red Planet. Script by Damond Benningfield

Poor Mars. After a warm, wet childhood, the planet dried out and became cold and arid. And why? Mostly because it lost most of its atmosphere, scraped away by solar radiation. NASA's Maven mission studied the phenomenon of atmsoperic loss for years, but has now gone silent. Enter Mars ESCAPADE—the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers—twin orbiters that will study the loss of Martian atmosphere more closely than ever before.
