Podcasts about Moat

Facebook is undermonetized, TikTok poses an existential threat to Amazon, and ChatGPT has probably already captured most of Google's high-value users. These are the opinions of today's guest, a venture capitalist deeply embedded in consumer networks and social product investing. In this episode, CJ chats with Turner Novak, the Founder and Managing Partner of Banana Capital, host of The Peel podcast, and a man who is known for his Twitter threads and podcast interviews as much as he is for his impressive portfolio. Turner breaks down the monetization models of some of the world's biggest platforms. Together, they discuss undervalued and overvalued business models, the long-term viability of subscription models, how platforms can identify and serve their highest-value users, and how to adapt acquisition strategies as AI reshapes the customer journey. Turner also reveals what excites him for future investments and the underestimated power of memes as a marketing tool.—LINKS:Turner Novak on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakTurner Novak on X (@TurnerNovak): https://x.com/TurnerNovakBanana Capital: https://www.bananacapital.vcThe Peel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePeelPodthespl.it: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:09) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(06:15) Turner's Embarrassing Accounting Story(08:10) How Turner Became an Accidental Influencer(09:02) Monetizing Content(12:22) How Turner Built His Media Platform(16:02) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(20:26) From Fantasy VC Portfolios to Podcasting(24:30) Turner's Main Business: Media Versus VC(25:42) Monetizing Premium Experiences on Social Products(30:27) Finding and Targeting High-Value Customers(32:27) Memes as a Tool for Marketing(36:10) Identifying High-Value Users and Opportunities(41:00) Why Pinterest Is Undermonetized(42:57) TikTok Versus Amazon for E-Commerce(46:30) Is ChatGPT Coming for Facebook and Google's Cash Flow(48:36) Facebook as an Undermonetized Business(54:24) The Long-Term Viability of Subscriptions(1:00:31) Customer Acquisition in a Platform-Dominated World(1:04:09) Paid Acquisition in the Era of AI(1:06:23) The Increasing Cost of CAC(1:08:59) What Turner Is Investing in Now(1:15:25) Doing Hard Things as a Moat(1:19:12) Wrap—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.In this video, we're ranking the moats of some of the most popular stocks in the market. A moat is what gives a company its competitive edge — the defense that keeps profits flowing and competitors at bay. Some names are strongholds with walls that look unbreakable, while others are stuck in open fields with no protection at all.We walk through the charts, fundamentals, and OVTLYR signals to show where these companies stand right now. The big takeaway: fundamentals don't pay unless the price trend is on your side.Here's what we cover:➡️ Tech Titans: Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Google, and Meta — which ones are true strongholds, and which are slipping as competition heats up?➡️ Consumer Favorites: Duolingo, Lululemon, Nike, and Netflix — from rapid growth to brand power, see who still has a moat and who's losing ground fast.➡️ Healthcare & Staples: UnitedHealth and Hims — one a giant with entrenched networks, the other a volatile up-and-comer with big potential but big risks.➡️ Financial Powerhouses: MSCI, S&P Global, and Mastercard — tollbooth businesses that collect revenue every time the market moves.➡️ Big Movers: Tesla, Palantir, Salesforce, and Target — companies with explosive potential, but trends that show how fragile a moat can be.Throughout the breakdown, you'll see how OVTLYR's Nine signals, trend templates, and fear-and-greed data cut through the noise. By focusing on price action instead of headlines, you can spot when a stock is setting up for a bullish run or breaking down into a bearish trend.The lesson is simple: growth, revenue, and fundamentals don't guarantee profits. The only thing that pays is catching the right trend at the right time. Whether you're trading Tesla's volatility, watching Nvidia's dominance, or questioning Netflix's staying power, this video shows you how to evaluate the moat and the market together.If you're ready to save time, make smarter trades, and reduce risk, this ranking will give you clarity on which companies are worth your attention and which ones may not deserve the hype.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Michael Walrath, CEO of Yext, on the shift from an internet built for humans to one built for machines. The founder of Right Media which was acquired by Yahoo for $850 million, and Moat which was acquired by Oracle, argues the importance of structured data for AI-driven search and discoverability. Google, he says, will still be important, but will soon no longer be the entire oxygen of the internet. As AI blows this space apart, marketers, he urges, must quickly adapt by focusing on data architecture and leveraging new AI tools like ChatGPT and TikTok. However, he believes that the future is bright, if only for marketers who understand the scope of this exciting tectonic shift.

Sophie Moloney has been CEO of Sky NZ for five years. For much of that time she's been dealing with downsides – a failed acquisition of Mediaworks, Spark Sports gifting their rights to TVNZ and prolonged satellite issues. But lately, things have been looking up. They successfully brought NZ Cricket rights back, scooped up Three's assets for $1, and just last week lengthened their rugby deal under very buyer-friendly terms. She joins Duncan Greive on the Fold to dig into all those issues and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Workday (WDAY) beat on earnings over its last four quarters. Can it do it for a fifth consecutive time after the bell Thursday? Sam Vadas notes the company's efforts to integrate A.I. into its platform but makes the case it needs to show more of a competitive moat for the stock to run higher. She points out the cloud sector's underperformance compared to tech peers as a reason for concern heading into earnings. Joe Tigay offers an example options trade for Workday ahead of the report.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Steven Dickens previews CoreWeave (CRWV) earnings, boiling the company down to “access to GPUs” despite it branding itself as a native AI company. He questions whether that is actually a defensible moat for years to come. “There's not enough stickiness, there's not enough diversification.” He also notes that the speed of the refresh cycle in this industry – between 3-5 years – doesn't give CoreWeave or competitors much time to be on the cutting edge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

“Show XXXXI - A very special show that almost never happened haha. Recorded this in the middle of the night (after sacking off the mix earlier in the day) and it turned out to be one of the most creative and energetic mixes I've done to date. Had a lot of fun with this and tried mixing it a little differently to usual; less thought, more flow. So hopefully that translates across. As always, hope you enjoy!” - TØTEM ⚡️Like the Show?

"Send me a text"The supplement industry has undergone a massive shift from a lightly regulated gold rush to a tightly policed marketplace where quality is no longer a nice-to-have, but a survival strategy. Fueled by pressure from regulators and major platforms like Amazon, low-quality operators have been squeezed out, leaving room for brands with strong documentation, testing protocols, and trusted manufacturing partners to rise. This transformation is reshaping how brands compete, how customers buy, and what it takes to win revealing that long-term success now depends not on cutting corners, but on building trust, retention, and sustainable quality systems.If you're interested in working with me one-on-one to improve your supplement business.

In this episode of Tank Talks, we're joined by Gaurav Jain, co-founder of Afore Capital, one of the earliest and most respected players in the pre-seed investing space. Gaurav shares how growing up in a small town in India, moving to Canada, and working at Blackberry, Amazon, and Google helped him understand the value of momentum, iteration, and building products that truly matter.He walks us through how a random dinner at Harvard led to meeting his future co-founder, how they built Afore around the belief that the best founders are often overlooked too early, and why the firm exclusively focuses on investing before there's a product or sometimes even an idea.Gaurav dives into what makes a great founder at the earliest stage, why he believes momentum is the only moat, and how the rise of AI has only accelerated opportunities for young, technical entrepreneurs to build enduring companies with less capital. He also opens up about the firm's "Founder-in-Residence" and "UTransfer" programs, his view on the Canadian tech scene, and the power of bespoke, high-conviction investing.We explore:* Why is momentum the only true moat in early-stage startups?* Can pre-seed investing still deliver alpha now that it's crowded?* Is seed-strapping the future of venture capital?* How do you identify founders before they've found their idea?* What happens when you give 19-year-olds the capital to build?Building a Pre-Seed Fund Before “Pre-Seed” Was a Thing (00:03:54)* Interning globally to chase experience and perspective* The turning point: joining Founder Collective* Meeting co-founder Anamitra through a lucky dinner at Foundation Capital* Launching Afore in 2016 to fill the pre-seed voidFounder Empathy & Early-Stage VC Lessons (00:08:17)* Mistakes from being a first-time founder* Learning that exits don't matter, products and pain points do* Why Canadian angel advice focused too much on sales, not software* Why product-led growth is a must-have, not a nice-to-haveThe 10,000 Coffees Rule of Venture (00:11:27)* How judgment is built: time, exposure, and repetition* Why investing based on ideas (not teams) is a rookie mistake* Filtering “this could work” vs. “this must work”* The real constraint in VC: time, not capitalAfore's Mission: Investing Before the Idea (00:15:00)* The “Too Early” problem founders face and why Afore exists* How FIR (Founder in Residence) and Transfer University fund ideation* Building a support system, not a portfolio of call options* Why being idea-stage isn't a red flag, it's a sign of ambitionConvincing LPs That Pre-Seed Was Real (00:19:19)* LP skepticism: “Isn't this just the bad deals no one else wants?”* How talking to founders not seed managers won over investors* Working with PitchBook and Crunchbase to split out pre-seed data* Making pre-seed visible helped founders self-identify and alignSeed-Strapping and the Rise of Efficient Startups (00:24:00)* How AI-native startups are hitting $1M ARR 2x faster* Case study: Gamma's hypergrowth on ultra-low burn* Why founders can delay growth rounds longer than ever* Capital efficiency is now a competitive edgeMomentum Is the Only Moat (00:26:07)* How Android's rise taught Gaurav speed = survival* Lessons from RIM's downfall: never rest on product laurels* Why the AI era is reshaping iteration timelines* Pre-seed startups now move at the speed of launches, not quartersPivot-as-a-Service in the AI World (00:34:16)* FIR teams pivoting from speech therapy to CX platforms* Younger founders = more raw talent, less domain bias* Startups pivoting every 6–8 weeks—and why that's healthy* Embracing pivots as a feature, not a flawScaling Afore with Purpose (00:35:21)* Fund IV, $500M+ AUM, and 150+ companies later* Why concentrated portfolios beat spray-and-pray* The dangers of being too dogmatic on stage or valuation* Supporting breakout talent like Neo, Gamma, and BenchGlobal Perspective: Canada's Role in Venture (00:41:19)* Why Canada produces world-class engineering talent* The upside and limits of building in the North* Hybrid models: Canada for R&D, U.S. for GTM* Afore's belief in serving Canadian founders, wherever they buildFailure may define most early-stage startups, but for Gaurav Jain, the real story starts before the pitch, before the product, even before the idea. With Afore Capital, he is betting on people over polish, instinct over perfection, and helping founders build long before the rest of the world is watching. His journey reminds us that great companies don't always start with traction; they start with trust.About Gaurav JainCo-founder and Managing Partner at Afore Capital.

I'm beyond excited to share our latest podcast episode with you. This time, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Maddi Holman, the general partner of Daring Ventures and the host of her own podcast, "Let's Be Heard." Maddi's journey from aspiring doctor to venture capitalist is nothing short of inspiring, and I can't wait for you to hear her story.Here are some of the key takeaways and intriguing insights from our conversation:

Why do some companies, like Coca-Cola, dominate for decades while others, like Blockbuster, are just a flash in the pan? The secret is a sustainable competitive advantage. In this episode, we break down the four essential "moats" that can protect a business long-term: network effects, intangible assets, cost advantages, and high switching costs. We explore real-world examples from Apple to Walmart and discuss why having a hit product isn't enough.

In this freewheeling episode of OnlyLands, a rotating cast of Badlands Media hosts gathers to dissect the week's most surreal headlines. The show kicks off with an irreverent breakdown of Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” exploring how its massive spending and rushed negotiations have become a high-stakes reality show of amendments, line-item veto theories, and performative deadlines. The crew debates whether the bill is a genuine achievement or a carefully orchestrated trap to expose politicians' allegiances. They then pivot to the viral spectacle of “Alligator Alcatraz,” the Florida detention facility rumored to be surrounded by a reptile-filled moat. After examining photos and debunking AI-generated images, the panel concludes the moat is more marketing than menace, and probably designed to drive narrative warfare. The conversation meanders through tales of pilot season in Hollywood, the AI future of scripted content, and whether robots will someday replace soccer players and talk show hosts alike. With plenty of tangents on Faraday siding, Tiger King jokes, and the irony of government narratives, this episode is part cultural roast, part geopolitical therapy session, and all Badlands.
