Today, we welcome back Bob Lee the managing partner at BPL associates. On today's podcast, we are talking to Bob Lee about theimportance of vetting investors:On previous podcasts, I have talked about the importance oftrying to hold on to as much equity as possible by using debt capital. However, there are instances where bringing on equity is necessary and the right thing to do. Bob and I will discuss what to look for and what to be cautious about.

Composer and musician Yann Tiersen talks to William Stokes about his love of modular synthesis, the joys and challenges of touring and performing and how he found himself unexpectedly involved in film composition, followed by an exclusive performance using five selected modules.Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:26 - An Accidental Film Composer05:44 - Recording And Mixing Process11:38 - Visiting Erica Synths13:21 - Trans Musicale Festival In Rennes18:47 - Eskal Studio On Ouessant Island21:00 - Module 1: Serge New Timbral Oscillator25:51 - Module 2: Instruō Lúbadh31:06 - Module 3: Mutable Instruments Beads32:58 - Module 4: Erica Synths Black Stereo Delay37:21 - Module 5: TouellSkouarn Ar Merc'het Brao41:30 - Yann Tiersen PerformanceYann Tiersen BiogYann Tiersen is a French composer and multi-instrumentalist whose work spans classical, electronic, and experimental music. He gained international recognition in 2001 for his soundtrack to Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie), following the success of his 1998 album Le Phare, which achieved gold status in France.Since then, Tiersen has released numerous studio albums and has performed extensively across Europe, North America and Asia. His discography includes collaborations with artists such as Jane Birkin, Elizabeth Fraser and Matt Elliott. His work has been featured in films, theatre productions and contemporary art installations.Tiersen's compositions have appeared in a range of films beyond Amélie, including Good Bye, Lenin! (2003), Alice et Martin (1998) and Tabarly (2008), as well as various short films and documentaries. His music is frequently used for its emotive and atmospheric qualities, particularly in European cinema.His latest release, Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour (2024), is a double album where the first part comprises eight solo piano pieces written during a 2023 sailing trip, each linked to a specific location. The second part shifts to electronic production, incorporating modular synths, samples and rhythmic textures, created following a night at sea near Belfast. The project reflects Tiersen's ongoing interest in location-based composition and the integration of acoustic and electronic elements.Tiersen records at his studio on the island of Ushant, off the coast of Brittany and continues to tour internationally.https://www.yanntiersen.com/https://www.instagram.com/yanntiersenhttps://www.facebook.com/yanntiersen.officialhttps://www.youtube.com/yanntiersenWilliam Stokes BiogWilliam Stokes is a producer, writer and artist in three-piece avant-psych band Voka Gentle. As well as being a critic and columnist for Sound On Sound, conceiving the popular Talkback column and heading up the Modular column, he has also written on music and music technology for The Guardian, MOJO, The Financial Times, Electronic Sound and more. As an artist in Voka Gentle he has made records with producers from Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave) to Sam Petts-Davies (Radiohead, The Smile, Roger Waters), has had songs featured on franchises from FIFA Football to The Sims and has toured across the UK, Europe and the USA, playing festivals from Pitchfork Avant-Garde in Paris to SXSW in Austin, Texas. He has collaborated with artists including the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, Morcheeba, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom. Alongside being a guitarist and pianist, he is a synthesis enthusiast with a particular interest in sampling and explorative sound manipulation. As a producer and engineer, he has made albums with acclaimed avant-garde musicians from composer Tullis Rennie to Mute Records artist Louis Carnell. “I'm always seeking out the most ‘out-there', experimental, risk-taking musicians I can find to work with,” he says, “to capture vibrant, detailed recordings and create three-dimensional mixes of music that might otherwise struggle to know where to begin in the studio environment.” Stokes currently lectures in Music Production at City, University of London.https://www.vokagentle.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

Noch vor 6 Monaten war KI für mich ehrlich gesagt kein großes Thema. Klar, ich hab hier und da mal ChatGPT eine Frage gestellt - so wie wir alle. Aber dass KI eine komplette Revolution für uns Kursersteller, Coaches und Experten bedeuten würde? Das wurde mir erst Anfang dieses Jahres wirklich klar. Heute - nur wenige Monate später - spreche ich buchstäblich den ganzen Tag mit KI. Nicht, weil ich technikverrückt geworden bin, sondern weil ich erkannt habe: KI ist nicht nur ein nettes Helferlein. Es ist ein Game-Changer. Wie sehr, das habe ich gerade erst selbst erlebt, als ich meinen Bestseller-Kurs "Online-Kurs-DNA" komplett überarbeitet und als KI-Edition neu herausgebracht habe. Während früher die Erstellung eines neuen Modules gut die ganze Woche gedauert hat, ging das dieses Mal in 2 Tagen. Was früher Monate gedauert hätte, habe ich in Rekordzeit geschafft - mit besseren Ergebnissen und zu einem Bruchteil der Kosten. In dieser Folge stelle ich dir meine 3 absoluten Lieblings-Tools vor, die diesen Durchbruch möglich gemacht haben. Über was ich in dieser Folge spreche: • Meine 3 KI-Power-Tools im Detail: Claude, ChatGPT und Gamma - und warum jedes Tool seine spezielle Stärken hat • Warum trotz aller KI-Tools deine Persönlichkeit unersetzlich ist: KI ist dein Werkzeug, nicht dein Ersatz - deine Stimme und Erfahrung bleiben essentiell und • Mein optimaler Workflow um Kurse in Rekordzeit zu erstellen, die natürlich dennoch dein Wissen und deine Erfahrung widerspiegeln. KI-Tools können dein Online-Kurs-Business tatsächlich revolutionieren - aber nur, wenn du sie richtig einsetzt. Aber hier ist die Sache: Selbst die besten KI-Tools helfen dir nicht, wenn du nicht weißt, welchen Online-Kurs du überhaupt erstellen sollst. Oder wenn du denkst, dass Online-Kurse nur ein netter Zusatz zu deinem Business sind. Das war früher mal so - aber 2025 ist das völlig überholt. Online-Kurse sind nicht mehr nur ein zusätzliches Angebot. Sie sind das Fundament deines gesamten Business-Modells. Die Basis für alles andere: Coachings, Mastermind-Programme, Ausbildungen, Communities. Deshalb habe ich ein kostenloses 60-minütiges Videotraining erstellt: Verkauft, bevor er fertig ist: Der smarte Weg zu deinem erfolgreichen Online-Kurs mit KI'. In diesem Training zeige ich dir nicht nur, wie du KI optimal nutzt, sondern vor allem: • Wie du die perfekte Idee für deinen eigenen Online-Kurs findest - mit KI-Unterstützung • Warum Online-Kurse 2025 nicht mehr nur netter Zusatz sind, sondern dein komplettes Business-Modell ausmachen können • Die 3 fatalen Denkfehler, die 99% aller Coaches beim Kurs-Business machen • Und warum du deinen Kurs verkaufen solltest, bevor er überhaupt fertig ist" Hier kannst du dich kostenfrei dazu anmelden:

The boundary between technological innovation and absurdity blurs in this fascinating exploration of AI's growing influence on our lives. We kick off with Google's latest accessibility features for Android and Chrome, where Gemini AI now helps visually impaired users understand images and captures not just what people say, but how they say it—recognizing that a simple "no" versus an emphatic "NO!" carries vastly different meanings.But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when we reveal perhaps the strangest AI story yet: a Greek woman who divorced her husband of 20 years based solely on ChatGPT's interpretation of coffee grounds. Without confronting her spouse, she filed papers after the AI claimed he was having an affair with a younger woman. This bizarre incident perfectly illustrates what our guest expert Phil Hennessey later emphasizes—AI systems can "hallucinate" convincingly false information, making critical human oversight essential.Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase demonstrates a refreshingly aggressive approach to cybersecurity after experiencing a major data breach. Rather than paying the hackers' $20 million ransom demand, they've established a bounty of the same amount for information leading to the identification of those responsible. It's an innovative counter-strategy that could change how companies respond to cyber threats.Phil Hennessey delivers a masterclass in understanding large language models, explaining that these systems don't actually memorize information like humans but create statistical word maps through neural networks. His insights culminate in a powerful warning about over-reliance on AI potentially eroding our critical thinking skills—coining the term "Human In The Loop" (HITL) as the necessary safeguard against technological overreach.From Waymo's ongoing self-driving challenges to the latest iPhone 17 rumors, we round out the show with our signature whiskey tasting of Blanton's Gold Edition bourbon. Join us for this thought-provoking journey through the promise and perils of today's rapidly evolving technological landscape—where sometimes the most important lesson is knowing when not to trust the machines.Support the show
We're continuing our series: Your Biggest Course Creation Questions, Answered, and this week we're digging into a BIG one: “Do I have the right content to turn this into a course?” Spoiler: You probably do! (But let's break it down to be sure.) In this episode, I walk you through: ✔️ How to know if your process is deep enough for a full course—or better suited for a mini offer ✔️ Why your course promise helps filter the fluff (and keeps students from getting overwhelmed) ✔️ The Post-It method I swear by for mapping out modules ✔️ Plus: How to validate your content with a live training or workshop Whether you're sitting on a few slides or packed full of ideas, this episode will help you figure out what to teach, how much to include, and what your students really need to get results.
In healthcare environments where precision and accountability are paramount, sterile processing departments (SPDs) play a critical behind-the-scenes role. As hospitals worldwide embrace technology to close compliance gaps and improve operational transparency, the introduction of patient-centric tracking tools marks a major leap forward. Tying surgical instruments directly to patient records not only strengthens traceability—it reinforces trust in the system. At military and international medical facilities, where logistics are often more complex, having a robust tracking platform becomes essential. Modules tailored to specific needs, like patient tracking or loaner equipment, offer SPDs better oversight and support compliance with evolving standards. But the challenges don't end there—supply chain disruptions still pose a major hurdle, one that demands continued innovation and adaptability. To hear more about how this evolution plays out on the ground, meet Andrew Tony Green, Sterile Processing Manager at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, and a frontline voice in the global SPD transformation.

Class, we've all experienced terrible trainings, right? Modules drier than a desert and handbooks that leave us bored to tears while not providing any actual knowledge of the company's methodologies or values? Well, thank goodness for educated workplace educator and brand new Pencil Buster Luis Garcia, co-founder and president of PETE-Personalized Education, Training, and Enrichment! Luis joins us today to discuss the intersection of great training and education. With co-founder and CTO Jacques Fu, Luis created PETE to answer a few key issues in workforce education and training. First: the need for constantly available and accessible experts. That tends to be a tricky matter when the expert is a human. But with an AI-powered system modeled using those human experts? Well that works just great! Second: a desperate desire for better ways to evaluate learning. Traditional tests are... problematic... for so many reasons, as any educated educator and Pencil Buster knows. Tests almost universally measure how good someone is at taking tests, not at evaluating how well a learner mastered subject matter. Third: desire for individualization to optimize each leaner's educational experience. So Luis and Jacques came together to build a better system, using the emergent technology to answer all these questions: AI. BustED Pencils: Fully Leaded Education Talk is part of Civic Media.

The Funding University | Where Business Learns About Funding
This month we are rebroadcasting our podcast with Spencer Sheinen, of Shift Financial Insights. Spencer is also the author of the # 1 Amazon best-selling book “ Entreprenumbers”Spencer Sheinin, CPA, CA, has a unique background with over 15 years as an entrepreneur combined with extensive financial experience as a CPA, CA and investment banker. He is the Founder and CEO of Shift Financial Insights, providing ridiculously simple accounting and financial insights for business on the rise.On the podcast Spencer talks about businesses coming out of a down cycle, seeing their sales pick up, and running into cash flow problems. If they go to a bank to cure those cash flow problems, they need to have a good funding package in place.We will discuss what should be in that funding package which includes “the story”, an explanation of why the business got in trouble, and how it can get out of it. In addition the importance of having sound financial reports.I hope you enjoy our conversation with Spencer because I really did.Seth Block, Founder, The Funding UniversityAbout The Funding University:The mission of The Funding University is to Enable Funding around the world.

What if the one thing keeping you from success isn't lack of skill, strategy, or resources … but your fear of letting go? In this episode of Be the Wolf, we dive deep into the moment every entrepreneur faces … when to take the leap and trust yourself enough to make your passion a full-time business. Ralph Velasco spent plenty of time in jobs and owning businesses that didn't light him up. Because he didn't know how to turn his passion into a business. He walked away from security – not once, but multiple times – until he finally built the business and lifestyle of his dreams.

However, he's been location-independent for 11+ years and traditionally spends anywhere from 8 - 9 months on the road internationally scouting and leading his tours. Ralph has authored several books on travel photography, and he just combined his most recent books into a 3-in-1 book bundle titled The Mindful & Intentional Traveler (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DKTL61PL). These books include: 1. How to Be a Mindful Traveler Using Your 5+ Senses (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DFM2P87D) 2. Travel Activity Book for Adults: GRATITUDES Edition (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3MKB1TP) 3. 60 AFFIRMATIONS for Travel (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQPLBM6T) He has a YouTube channel called The Continental DRIFTER® (https://youtube.com/continentaldrifter) and a related website (https://ContinentalDRIFTER.co) where everything about his business can be found, including tours, blog posts, his YouTube channel, podcasts, merchandise and more. Ralph is often asked how people can learn to do what he does and so he created a self-guided online course called Tour Organizer Training: Get Paid to Travel. In this course made up of 7 Modules and 26 Lessons, he goes step-by-step through what's involved in creating a tour business. Ralph has spoken all over the world and in the U.S. at the Travel & Adventure Shows and the New York Times Travel Show, as well as at travel blogger conferences (in Spain, Sweden, Israel, and Ireland) and the IOETI digital marketing conference in Cairo, Egypt (see more at https://continentaldrifter.co/speaking/) Finally, he created an iOS app called My Shot Lists for Travel more than 14 years ago, but it's no longer on the app store and instead he turned the information into a book called 52 Categories of a Shot List: Create Images that Tell a Story, also available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/52categories).
