Jonah joins Eric Franchi and Joe Zappa to discuss the key factors that allowed his company Moat to exit for $850M to Oracle and how he's approaching GTM differently this time around with his marketing measurement company Mobian. Joe, Eric, and Jonah riff on the Mobian story in real-time, and Joe scintillates the audience with a detour into French philosophy (courtesy of Jonah's dad).

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. Plus, we teach you 10 key vocabulary terms like "formidable," "inimitable," and "complacency" to help you analyze business strategy like an expert.

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.

Welcome to Season 4 of The J Curve with me, Olga Maslikhova.This week, I sit down with João Del Valle, co-founder and CEO of EBANX—one of Latin America's most iconic fintech stories and a company that built one of the most expansive cross-border payment platforms in the world.Founded in Curitiba—well outside Brazil's traditional tech hub of São Paulo—EBANX was built for scale from day one. Its global-by-design approach quickly became a powerful competitive moat, allowing the company to expand into 29 countries, process billions in cross-border payments, and power transactions for global giants like Spotify and AliExpress.In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to scale global infrastructure from Latin America, why complexity is a competitive advantage, and how João evolved from founder and CTO to CEO of a company backed by Advent International in one of their largest-ever tech deals.Here's what we cover:• How embracing regulatory and payment complexity became core to EBANX's GTM playbook• What 2022–2023 taught João about discipline, cold-blooded decision-making, and founder-mode leadership• How João leads distributed teams across the U.S., China, and Latin America• What it means to scale sustainably without blitzscaling—and still attract a firm like Advent International• How João thinks about long-term planning, investor alignment, and the path to liquidity• Tactical insight on navigating cross-border regulation, local payment rails, and real-time systems like Pix and UPIFor global operators, fintech builders, and investors looking for real lessons in execution—this episode is packed with insight.More from us: Subscribe to our weekly newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The J Curve Insider⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where we go beyond the podcast to break down the most exciting investment & tech trends in LATAM. Sharp.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Visa (ticker: V), the global payments powerhouse that acts as the invisible engine behind billions of transactions every day. Visa doesn't issue cards, lend money, or handle customer accounts — instead, it operates the network that connects banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries. Whether you're tapping your card for a coffee, shopping online, or sending money abroad, there's a good chance Visa is taking a small slice behind the scenes. Visa is to the global economy what highways are to cars — an essential infrastructure layer that makes modern commerce move. In this episode, you'll learn how Visa evolved from a consortium of banks to a dominant public company, how it defends its massive competitive moat, where growth will come from beyond traditional card payments, whether emerging technologies like account-to-account payments pose a real threat, how to think about Visa's valuation, plus so much more!

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company.

Theatre director Robert Icke's production of Oedipus won best revival and a best actress award for Lesley Manville at last night's Olivier Awards - but his new play Manhunt is now demanding his attention at the Royal Court Theatre in London. The drama focuses on the story of Raoul Moat who attacked his ex-girlfriend and killed her new boyfriend before a stand-off with armed police which ended in his suicide. Samira talks to Robert Icke and to Samuel Edward-Cook who plays Moat. The Edwardian era - from Queen Victoria's death to the start of the First World War - is the subject of a new exhibition at the King's Gallery in London. Samira is joined by its curator Kathryn Jones from the Royal Collection Trust and by the historian and Alwyn Turner, author of Little Englanders: Britain in the Edwardian Era.The Swinging Sixties bring to mind films like Michael Caine's Alfie and the social realist dramas like Up The Junction. But A Touch of Love, released in 1969 and now getting a fresh outing on DVD, offers up an unusual female perspective on the era of free love. Margaret Drabble adapted her own novel the Millstone for the film which starred Sandy Dennis - alongside a young Ian McKellen in his first screen role. We hear from its director Waris Hussein - who also directed the first episodes of Dr Who.

In this episode, we're joined by the one and only Josh Litchman to discuss the power of front-end moats, building effective feedback loops, and the evolving landscape of crypto gaming. The conversation dives into how opinionated front ends shape user behavior, why order flow is the ultimate asset, and how games like Pixels leverage behavioral economics. We also explore the shift from traditional front ends to trading bots, the challenges of designing sustainable in-game economies, and the growing role of liquid funds in crypto markets.

My guest on the show today is Tal Keinan, the CEO of Sky Harbor Group, a publicly traded developer and operator of airplane hangars. Before conducting the interview, I had the opportunity to learn a lot about Sky Harbor from an investor friend who owns the stock and knows the company as well as just about anyone on the planet. That led to a deep, rich conversation where we covered: The process by which Sky Harbor became public; Whether Sky Harbor is a real estate company, an operating company—or both; An overview of the supply and demand dynamics for business aircraft hangar space; How Sky Harbor views the threat of emerging competition; and The economics and returns associated with developing new hangars. For full disclosure, I am not a Sky Harbor shareholder.
