In this expansive episode, Aneil Mallavarapu delivers a masterclass on what TechBio is really about and why most investors and founders are still getting it wrong. We dig into the communication gap between technical genius and venture capital, the brutal economics of research tools, the data dilemmas in wet AI, and why the future belongs to founders who can both build deep and speak simply.Aneil shares hard truths about platform strategy, revenue (yes, revenue), and the myth of “cool diagnostics” inside a broken healthcare system. But this isn't just about critique. It's a hopeful, strategic call for a new generation of purposeful companies, built not only for returns but for impact. If you're working at the intersection of biology, tech, and meaning, this is the one to listen to.

Thanks to The Podcast Academy, Ti King and I got to attend #PopCon with the intention of evangelizing podcasting (and the Academy, of course! See links for joining, below.) After I got used to the costumed attendees of PopCon, and fan-girled a few anime voice talents and celebrities on site, I got down to business and led a panel of podcasting experts on how to create, market, and monetize a podcast. Guests include Brittany Bigelow of Bigelow Creative, Dawn-Michelle Lewis of Salutations Media, filmmaker and podcast host Vergie Rodriguez, and James Starace of Focus 360/Creator Square. We covered strategies for podcast concept development, the value of niche topics and micro-influencers, technical execution, and effective marketing strategies. The panel also explained their monetization techniques, from securing brand partnerships to leveraging subscriber models. The whole PopCon event was eye-opening, by the way, with more people lined up to meet the faces behind their favorite voices than the known faces playing TV characters! Ti, who graciously captured the video of the panel, Vergie and I also won Best Podcast awards from the organization! Ti King, E.B.

Todd Olson joins me to talk about making analytics worth paying for and relevant in the age of AI. The CEO of Pendo, an analytics SAAS company, Todd shares how the company evolved to support a wider audience by simplifying dashboards, removing user roadblocks, and leveraging AI to both generate and explain insights. We also talked about the roles of product management at Pendo. Todd views AI product management as a natural evolution for adaptable teams and explains how he thinks about hiring product roles in 2025. Todd also shares how he thinks about successful user adoption of his product around “time to value” and “stickiness” over vanity metrics like time spent. Highlights/ Skip to: How Todd has addressed analytics apathy over the past decade at Pendo (1:17) Getting back to basics and not barraging people with more data and power (4:02) Pendo's strategy for keeping the product experience simple without abandoning power users (6:44) Whether Todd is considering using an LLM (prompt-based) answer-driven experience with Pendo's UI (8:51) What Pendo looks for when hiring product managers right now, and why (14:58) How Pendo evaluates AI product managers, specifically (19:14) How Todd Olson views AI product management compared to traditional software product management (21:56) Todd's concerns about the probabilistic nature of AI-generated answers in the product UX (27:51) What KPIs Todd uses to know whether Pendo is doing enough to reach its goals (32:49) Why being able to tell what answers are best will become more important as choice increases (40:05) Quotes from Today's Episode “Let's go back to classic Geoffrey Moore Crossing the Chasm, you're selling to early adopters. And what you're doing is you're relying on the early adopters' skill set and figuring out how to take this data and connect it to business problems. So, in the early days, we didn't do anything because the market we were selling to was very, very savvy; they're hungry people, they just like new things. They're getting data, they're feeling really, really smart, everything's working great. As you get bigger and bigger and bigger, you start to try to sell to a bigger TAM, a bigger audience, you start trying to talk to the these early majorities, which are, they're not early adopters, they're more technology laggards in some degree, and they don't understand how to use data to inform their job. They've never used data to inform their job. There, we've had to do a lot more work.” Todd (2:04 - 2:58) “I think AI is amazing, and I don't want to say AI is overhyped because AI in general is—yeah, it's the revolution that we all have to pay attention to. Do I think that the skills necessary to be an AI product manager are so distinct that you need to hire differently? No, I don't. That's not what I'm seeing. If you have a really curious product manager who's going all in, I think you're going to be okay. Some of the most AI-forward work happening at Pendo is not just product management. Our design team is going crazy. And I think one of the things that we're seeing is a blend between design and product, that they're always adjacent and connected; there's more sort of overlappiness now.” Todd (22:41 - 23:28) “I think about things like stickiness, which may not be an aggregate time, but how often are people coming back and checking in? And if you had this companion or this agent that you just could not live without, and it caused you to come into the product almost every day just to check in, but it's a fast check-in, like, a five-minute check-in, a ten-minute check-in, that's pretty darn sticky. That's a good metric. So, I like stickiness as a metric because it's measuring [things like], “Are you thinking about this product a lot?” And if you're thinking about it a lot, and like, you can't kind of live without it, you're going to go to it a lot, even if it's only a few minutes a day. Social media is like that. Thankfully I'm not addicted to TikTok or Instagram or anything like that, but I probably check it nearly every day. That's a pretty good metric. It gets part of my process of any products that you're checking every day is pretty darn good. So yeah, but I think we need to reframe the conversation not just total time. Like, how are we measuring outcomes and value, and I think that's what's ultimately going to win here.” Todd (39:57) Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddaolson/ X: https://x.com/tolson todd@pendo.io

Dean Kinzer is an ancient coin enthusiast, YouTuber, and entrepreneur on a mission to bring the magic of history—literally held in your hand—to more Americans. What started as a family hobby, inspired by his collector father, has grown into a side business and educational passion. Dean is the founder of Kinzer Coins and co-host of the Ancient Coin Hour podcast, where he helps collectors and history buffs discover the stories and value behind ancient coins. On this episode we talk about: – Dean's journey from growing up with a collector dad (who owned 13 Yugos!) to becoming obsessed with ancient coins – The “tribute penny” of Tiberius—possibly the coin referenced by Jesus in the Bible—and how affordable ancient coins can actually be – The wild stories behind some of history's most fascinating coins, like Brutus's “Ides of March” gold coin and the emperor who bought his throne for 66 days – How ancient coins are more than metal—they're pieces of art, history, and conversation starters – The surprising abundance of certain ancient coins (you can literally buy Roman bronze coins by the pound!) – Why the U.S. market for ancient coins is still wide open, and how Dean is working to popularize the hobby – The business side: consignments, inventory, and the challenge of parting with pieces that tell powerful stories – How to avoid scams, spot counterfeits, and start collecting with confidence – The magic of holding a 2,000-year-old coin and the deep connection it creates to human history – Monetizing your hobby in the digital age—YouTube, podcasts, and building a business around your passion Top 3 Takeaways 1. History in Your Hand: Ancient coins aren't just collectibles—they're tangible links to the past, each with a story that can spark conversation and curiosity. 2. Monetize Your Passion: You can turn even the most niche hobby into a side business or educational platform with the right approach and a willingness to share. 3. Start Smart, Avoid Pitfalls: Learn the basics, connect with reputable sellers, and use resources like Ancient Coin Hour to avoid costly mistakes and enjoy the hobby. Notable Quotes – “There's something different about holding something that's 2,000 years old. It's a connection to history you can actually feel.” – “Every coin tells a story—some are worthy of a Hollywood movie.” – “The U.S. market for ancient coins is wide open. There's opportunity for collectors, investors, and storytellers alike.” Connect with Dean Kinzer: Website: kinzercoins.com Instagram: @kinzercoins
