MVPs for the Purpose of Fundraising Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Minimum viable products or MVPs help the startup not only engage with the customer but also with the investor. Here's how MVPs can help progress the fundraise. It demonstrates the product concept is viable. This shows the product can be built. An MVP demonstrates the founders' commitment to the business. It's easy to talk about a product, but building one takes more. Reduces the risk. A working prototype reduces the risk that one cannot build the potential product. It generates customer feedback. The MVP engages the customer conversation, giving the founder evidence that customers will buy it. Finally, the MVP demonstrates market interest. It shows there is a market for the product. The investor wants to know the product works and customers will pay for it. The MVP helps paint that picture. Consider building an MVP as part of your fundraising strategy. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Rajiv Parikh talks with four-time founder Geoff McQueen about how AI is inverting the business pyramid and forcing everyone, not just executives, to act more entrepreneurially. We dig into why demos are easier than trust, how revealed preference drives better pivots than surveys, and what AI-first operations look like when context beats dashboards.• AI flipping high-cognitive work and raising the bar for every role• Why entrepreneurship matters more than traditional management• Speedy vibe-coded prototypes versus enterprise-grade products• Security, permissions, governance, and the real cost of trust• The limits of AI for creativity and naming despite strong research output• Revealed preference as a founder discipline driven by user behavior• The analytics trap and how dashboards can fossilize workflows• AI in the middle of the business with a shared context graph• Observer agents that investigate quietly and escalate only when needed• Coaching culture versus invasive surveillance approaches• A practical path toward $10M ARR with fewer than 10 employees• Openness, trade, and the societal risks of turning inwardAI just made execution cheap, and that changes what founders should obsess over. Rajiv sits down with Geoff McQueen, founder and CEO of WorksightsAI, to unpack what happens when the “business pyramid” flips upside down and high-level cognitive work gets accelerated by frontier models while culture, alignment, and conflict stay deeply human. The result is uncomfortable and exciting: less room for business-as-usual management and a lot more demand for entrepreneurial judgment at every level.We get concrete about the gap between a vibe-coded demo and a product an enterprise can actually trust. Geoff walks through the unglamorous realities that decide whether AI-built software is real or risky: security, access control, permissions, privilege escalation, reliability, and governance. If you've ever watched an agent claim it “did the work” while quietly failing, this part will sharpen how you evaluate prototypes, MVPs, and production systems.Then we go deeper on product strategy and go-to-market. Geoff explains why revealed preference beats stated preference, why surveys can mislead founders, and how the “analytics trap” shows up when dashboards fossilize workflows instead of explaining what's truly going on. We also explore AI-first operations and continuous performance intelligence built around corporate context across Slack, calendars, docs, tickets, CRM, and code, plus how observer agents can help leaders coach instead of police.If you're building with AI, leading a team through change, or trying to scale efficiently, you'll leave with a clearer playbook for direction, trust, and leverage.

Alternatives to an MVP Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Building a full-blown product is unwise at the early stage, as the startup will inevitably build the wrong thing. It's best to test the market first. Minimum viable products or MVPs are a better solution than a product, as it's cheaper and easier to do. The goal of the MVP is to generate a dialogue with customers and estimate demand. There are alternatives to building an MVP. Here are some examples: Create a datasheet showing the product you intend to build and sell. Show the features and benefits of it. Use this to spark a dialog with customers. In-person interviews work best so as to gauge interest and capture feedback. This can be especially useful in setting the initial price for the product. Another alternative is to create a website landing page with key information. Then drive traffic to it. This will demonstrate how interested or disinterested the target market is in the proposed product. Set up the landing page to take orders for the product to see how many actually sign up. Tweak the content till you have interest in the product. Pretend you have the proposed product available today and try to sell it. This will inform your decision about what to build and is far cheaper than an MVP. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

#357: Type a prompt, get code, fix the hallucinations, type another prompt. That is vibe coding, and it is a fine place to start. It is a terrible place to stay. So what comes next - and is spec-driven development actually it, or just waterfall wearing a new hat? Here is the reframe that runs the whole conversation: everybody already works from a spec. Even the person who swears they are winging it has a spec in their head - which language, where it runs, what it does. The real question was never specs or no specs. It is whether you write them like waterfall, one giant document before anyone touches code, or like agile, just enough to start and the rest discovered as you go. A design is only validated when you implement it - everything before that is an educated guess. So instead of spending a month on one detailed design, build five throwaway MVPs in a day. Fully operational. Frontend, backend, running in a cluster, connected to a database. Show them to customers. Pick the one that works. Then have the agent write the spec from the winning code, and throw the code away. The spec is the output, not the input. A PowerPoint took you a month and told the customer nothing. A working thing they can touch tells you everything. Viktor and Darin push on where this breaks. Over-specifying gives you a false sense of security - you are lying to yourself that you know everything up front, and you do not. Legacy systems? The code is the only complete spec - any document written thirty years ago is fiction. Performance? Measure it in production and be lightning-fast to react. Greenfield, CRUD, clear API contracts - those genuinely want a spec first. The part nobody on the org chart wants to hear: this does not delete the business analyst or the developer. It collapses the roles. The code monkey who pulls a Jira ticket, does the work, pushes it - that job is turning into tech lead, architect, product manager, all at once. Plan mode writes the spec with you, not for you. You write it to a file because you cannot review what you cannot see. And you review the tests harder than the code, because the tests are the spec made executable. Specs were always supposed to be living documents. Now there is finally no excuse.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

The follow-up mistake that costs sales (and kills communication) is a lack of sequencing. If I’ve got a sequence in place that says, all right, when I get a lead from a networking function, I’m going to initially, either same day or next morning, send out this email message, which essentially says, “it was great meeting you at the networking function. Nice having a chance to talk.” Then, you include something in that email to elicit a response. Some will initiate a dialogue, some of them won’t. So from that point, if you don’t hear back, you could have another one that goes out a couple of days later saying, “Hey, never heard back you on this, but something else occurred to me that I didn’t mention…” and then you add something else to the conversation that could potentially be of interest to them. So you’re not just hitting them with “call me, call me, call me, call me.” You’re actually creating value in the communication, which is particularly key when you’re doing sequencing like that. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland and I will be discussing the topic of sequencing your communication. Welcome back, Jay. Jay: Hey, David. Great to be with you again. I really love that we dive into these things that can have such an impact on your daily business. Oftentimes people will focus on the large things, not understanding that sometimes the smallest tweaks can make all the difference. David: Yeah, and things like this really are kind of diving deep. And many times I know other people in podcasts or in stuff that’s actually going out to the public, they’ll just keep it all high level and not really get into too much. I think we’ve done a reasonably good job over the years of diving a little deeper and getting into things in a little bit more detail. Because it’s important for people who watch this or listen to this to recognize that there are a lot of aspects to all of this. And we touched on this in the previous episode. We were talking about sort of the high level goals, we were talking about the high level concepts versus the nitty gritty of what do I have to do on a day-to-day basis. And this really gets more into the idea of the nitty gritty. But sequencing is something that I don’t hear many people talk about in business. And I think it’s a real game changer for people in the sense that when you get this and you start implementing it, it changes the way that you interact with your prospects and clients to make what you are doing better and more appealing than what your competition is probably doing. Jay: Yeah, such a great point. And back to the idea of focusing on the smaller stuff. I’m weird. I call myself lazy because I want to avoid steps and reduce steps, but in the name of that laziness, I will spend weeks trying to create a system, whether it’s a software system or a planning system or something, just knowing that over the long run, it’s going to have such a dramatic impact. And I can be lazy about that thing after that. And I focus. I mean, if I can reduce one little step, I’ll spend weeks trying to figure out how to do that. David: Yeah. But that’s smart. I don’t think that’s lazy. I think it’s far lazier to just go into each situation, not knowing what’s going to happen, not knowing how to respond to the common objections you get, not knowing how to create a system that will allow you to bring clients through the door like clockwork. And when you do that, you’re basically going into work every day with no idea of what’s going to happen. So I think that’s really lazy and really sloppy and I don’t think what you described is lazy at all. Jay: Well, I don’t, you know, I think you’re probably right, but it is something that drives my wife crazy and it’s really bad. Like when we go grocery shopping, I have a route, and that route has a very specific design. It’s based upon how the groceries are going to end up on the conveyor belt. And that’s important because that determines on how they will go into the bags, because I want the bread on top and all of those things on top. So I have this all planned and thought out from years of experience. It brings me joy, David, it’s, it’s a little, probably obsessive compulsive, but that’s the way I am. David: That’s funny and she still lets you come along. That’s amazing. But it’s a great example though, because when you think about that, and there are two schools of thought when it comes to outcomes, right? You described a more outcome driven approach. And it reminds me of the expression, the road is better than the inn, if you’ve heard that one. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: And I remember hearing that years ago and thinking, no, I kind of like the inn, right? I like, where are we going? Let’s get there. Mission accomplished. Onto the next thing. But there are people who just enjoy the experience. Shopping is a great example of that. I have never been a good shopper. Jay: Mm-hmm. At least before online shopping. I was a terrible shopper. As a kid. My mom would drag me around to different stores and she could just look at stuff for hours. I got bored three minutes in. As a kid, I could go to the toy section and I could look around for a few minutes, maybe see something I liked or whatever. Then I’m done. Right? And people are just wired differently in that regard. But I think if we really get down to the core of it, and we start thinking in terms of creating the systems and processes that will allow you to get results in your business, and tying it again back to our main topic, sequencing your communication, what this will allow you to do is to leapfrog your competition. Because you won’t have to think about each step of it. And it really ties to what you were saying about, you know your process in a store. Well, imagine that in business. Imagine a situation where you create a sequence of communications to send out to the prospects that you want to convert, in a specific order, in a specific sequence, at a specific timeframe. You can automate that as well. And design it to accomplish a result Too often in business because we’re sort of focused all over the place, we’re here, we’re there, we’re everywhere. We think in terms of sending a message out to a prospect and waiting for them to reply. And when they don’t reply. We become confused and annoyed. It’s like, why didn’t they reply? I sent you an email. Why didn’t you reply? And it’s cause that’s not the way the world works anymore. Right? I sent you an email. Yeah, it’d be nice if it were like tennis, where you bat it across the other person bats it across, and you bat it across and you have a nice volley going. That happens sometimes, but more often than not, it’s not happening. And if you’re depending on getting that volley hit back to you right away, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Where instead, if you recognize, you may have to send it across the net 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 times before it gets lobbed back, you’ll be prepared. And if you prep that in advance, you are so far ahead of what your competition is doing. It’s just not even funny. Jay: Yeah, I, have this situation going on right now where somebody has sent me an email inviting me to do something. I don’t know who this person is. I’ve never heard from them, and then I don’t respond. And then like four days later, I get an email that says, Hey, you didn’t respond. And I’m like, Well, that should tell you all you need to know. And then I got another one. I’ve sent you two emails and you haven’t responded. This person is sequencing, but they’re doing it in a horrific way. I mean, by the third email, I’m like, who do you think you are? That you can sit here and demand a response from me? And I don’t even know who you are. The whole thing has soured me. I am never going to call them back based upon that type of sequencing. David: Right. And if that’s the type of sequencing we’re talking about, then yeah, don’t do that. That is not what I’m talking about. It’s interesting you should mention that because over the past several months I have received so many messages from people, pitching guests for this very podcast where they’re saying, Hey, I think you should interview this person who’s talking about this thing, and let me know if that’s of interest to you. You know, I’ve listened to your podcast. I think he’d be a great fit. And most of the time I get, you know, pretty much the same pitch for different speakers. So I’m on some kind of list and I normally ignore them. But they’ve got sequences set up where it’s the second one. Hey, just bumping this up to the top of your inbox again, you know, do you want to consider so-and-so for the podcast? And so finally, I just put together the response that I’m sending to people, which is to say, if you listen to this podcast, you would recognize that we are not an “interview of the week kind of thing.” You know, there are two of us who do this. Jay: Yeah. David: If we were a podcast that had a lot of people on and we were interviewing what you said would make sense, and I don’t get into all that much detail. But they’re basically not pitching the right thing to the right person. And so in those situations, yeah, sequencing is not a great idea. But when you’ve got somebody who is engaged or would like to be engaged and you want to find out whether or not they’re on board with you, when it’s done right… And that ties into the MVPs, the messaging, you know, is the messaging going to be good? Which combination of marketing vehicles you’re using to reach them, and who are the people you’re reaching? If you’ve got those three things in sync, then sequencing is going to work extremely well for you. Jay: So let’s talk a little bit more about. Sequencing. I can guess at a, couple of these things. I’m guessing like so many of the things we’re talking about, you want to start with pen and paper and maybe start identifying who your potential customers are. What are potential, the stages that they might be in, and then start focusing on the messaging for each of those stages. David: Yes. And when we think in terms of the overall stages, or the initial stages, where is this person in the journey? If this is somebody that I just met, let’s say I meet somebody at a networking function. We exchange business cards or whatever, I go back to my office, this person goes back to their office and nothing happens until one of us moves, right? So, If I’ve got a sequence in place that says, all right, when I get a lead from a networking function, what I’m going to do is I’m going to initially, either same day or next morning, send out this email message, which essentially says, it was great meeting you at the networking function. Nice having a chance to talk. And then. you have something that you say and obviously it’s going to be different for each person who’s doing that, but you’ve got something that is said in that email that is designed to elicit a response. So you might want to end that email with a question so that they’re likely to initiate a dialogue. Some will initiate a dialogue, some of them won’t. So from that point, if you don’t hear back, you could have another one that goes out a couple of days later like, with a reply to your own message saying, Hey never heard back you on this, but something else occurred to me that I didn’t mention… and then you add something else to the conversation that could potentially be of interest to them. So you’re not just hitting them with call me, call me, call me, call me. You’re actually creating value in the communication, which is also key to good marketing, but it’s also particularly key when you’re doing sequencing like that. And then the third step in your sequence could be calling to follow up. If they gave you a business card, it could be a phone call that comes whatever, a week later or a certain period of time later, and you decide what that is. In our Total Market Domination course, I mean, we walk through all of this so people can decide, can determine for themselves what is a good timeframe to do this in. Because a lot of times if you get a business card from somebody at a networking function and you forget about it? Or you go to a trade show, that’s the worst! You’re paying to have all these people go out to the trade show. You’re paying to put ’em up, you’re paying to feed them. They bring cards back and they stay in the bottom of their briefcase or their suitcase. And those people never get phone calls. It’s just such an incredible waste. But if you’ve got these processes in place to be able to sequence your communication, to be able to get those people back into the zone that they were in, that first initiated the conversation, then they will be far more likely to respond to you and reply to the conversation and keep it going. Jay: Yeah, it’s interesting. I’m in the heat of this process right now, because as you know, I’m setting up a new business. David: Mm-hmm. Jay: building the CRM behind the scenes and I have to ask myself, what are each of the stages and what do I want to happen? What type of communication? And one of the other parts about that, that is so important is, oftentimes, I know when I’ve been put in somebody’s CRM drip system. Because the messages stop being personal and I’m like, you’re sending this out to everybody. So there’s a fine line between having a sequence and making people feel like, oh, they’ve just been put in the hopper. I think we have a high awareness. And so I think that your sequences need to be a combination of personal contact. And these systems that will save you a lot of time and effort. David: Yes, I agree completely. I also think that the way that those sequences are written is going to determine a lot of that as well. Jay: Yes! David: There are people in business, many of us in business have initially been trained on “corporate speak.” And we write in brochure language, instead of in human language. Jay: Yes. David: A lot of what you just described can be overcome simply by engaging in conversational English, even in the messages that are going out automatically. Even in the automated messages where much of the content will be the same. But the way that you’re conveying it still seems more personal and still feels like it’s coming from another human being as opposed to an auto-generated sequence. Jay: Yeah. David, I love this point. And you know, I’ve discovered a way for me to do this. And that is I’ve started using dictation on the computer a lot. Because I don’t know if people notice if they’re watching the video. I have something called Essential Tremors, which causes me to shake. And it’s getting harder and harder for me to type. So I’ve gone to dictation, but I found if I close my eyes and I act like I’m on the phone with the person when I’m doing the dictation, that brochure speak goes away. And so it’s something I don’t have to give a lot of thought to. It’s just a change in how I’m recording that information. David: Yeah, I do a very similar thing on the treadmill in the morning. I’ve got a, a little digital recorder and I’m on the treadmill and I’m moving and I’m recording. It could be a letter, it could be notes for some sort of presentation I’m going to do. But I will record that and I’ll just stop it every few seconds. If you heard those recordings, it’s a lot of heavy breathing and little bits and pieces. And I’ll say three words and I’ll stop and I’ll try to figure out what the rest of the sentence is, and I’ll say that, and then I’ll just take that whole thing and I’ll get it transcribed. And then at that point I can clean up the words and it’s a hundred times easier than trying to sit down in front of a blinking cursor and figure out what I’m going to say next. Jay: Yeah. And that blinking cursor, it does something to us. It changes how, how we record that information. So I love that piece of feedback when it comes to sequencing. Cool. How do people find out more, David? David: You can go to top secrets.com/call, schedule a call with myself or my team if you are interested in getting better response from people by thinking things out in advance and sequencing your communication so that people are actually looking forward to hearing what you have to say next instead of dreading it, schedule a call. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. David, once again, it’s a pleasure talking to you. David: Thank you so much, Jay. Are You Ready to Start Getting Better Results by Sequencing Your Communication?

What does Caleb Williams REALLY need to do to win NFL MVP in 2026? Haize breaks down the exact statistical formula the Chicago Bears quarterback must reach, including approximately 4,400 passing yards, 40-plus total touchdowns, a 65% completion rate and potentially 13 wins.

In this America 250 special edition of Marks on the Market, Richard Cunningham and Luke Roush sit down with Donna Harris — founder and CEO of Builders and Backers, venture investor, and co-author of the redemptive investing playbook at Praxis — for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of American entrepreneurship, the limits and promise of venture capital, and how the AI revolution is democratizing who gets to build. As the country approaches its 250th birthday, Donna brings a decade of venture investing experience and a conviction that America's greatest competitive advantage isn't its capital markets — it's its people. Builders and Backers has helped launch nearly 800 companies, backing nurses, bartenders, dog breeders, and disability attorneys who are using AI to bring ideas to life that would have required $35,000 MVPs just a year ago. Key Topics: Why venture capital is a "solid tool for a specific use case" — and why it's the single most expensive capital a startup can take The real entrepreneurship data: startups are creating a third fewer jobs per company than 15 years ago, and 62% of Americans have an entrepreneurial dream but less than 2% act on it How AI is democratizing startup formation — from a $35K MVP to a $20 Claude Pro subscription Donna's investment thesis for the AI era: stop asking which AI model wins and start asking which people are uniquely positioned to create value with it The concept of "re-risking" from a faith perspective — and why prosperity itself can become the greatest obstacle to obedience Scripture at the close: Donna on God's broken heroes, and Luke on the woman with the alabaster jar and the boy with five loaves Notable Quotes: "There has never ever in history been a greater moment to become an entrepreneur." — Donna Harris "The best investors aren't just investing in AI companies. They're investing in smart people who will use the tool well and solve meaningful problems in sustainable ways." — Donna Harris "We need to aggressively re-risk, otherwise we get lulled into this stupor of prosperity and comfort and building bigger barns." — Luke Roush

Hoy en Atareao con Linux vamos a hablar largo y tendido sobre el Vibe Coding y cómo está cambiando por completo las reglas del juego en este 2026.Si estás escuchando esto mientras vas al trabajo, cocinas o das un paseo, y crees que esto no va contigo porque nunca has tocado una sola línea de código... ¡espera! No toques el botón de siguiente episodio. Este podcast es precisamente para ti. ¿Alguna vez has tenido esa pequeña idea en la cabeza de una aplicación sencilla que te solucionaría la vida, pero la has descartado porque no sabes programar o no tienes tiempo para aprender? El Vibe Coding es el puente que te va a permitir cruzar esa brecha y hacer realidad tus ideas explicándoselas a la tecnología igual que me las explicarías a mí, con tus propias palabras.El nacimiento de un nuevo paradigma: Del "Vibe" al Agentic EngineeringPara entender esta auténtica locura nos tenemos que remontar a febrero de 2025. Andrej Karpathy, una de las mentes más brillantes en el mundo de la Inteligencia Artificial (ex OpenAI y ex Tesla), lanzó un tuit que corrió como la pólvora por todo internet. En ese mensaje acuñó el término Vibe Coding: una nueva forma de programar en la que te dejas llevar por las vibraciones, abrazas el crecimiento exponencial y te olvidas de que el código realmente existe. La idea caló de tal forma que se convirtió en la palabra del año para el diccionario Collins y hoy, un año después, el 84% de los programadores la integran en su rutina.Mi experimento en directo: Una aplicación a medida por dos céntimosA mí no me gusta hablar de oídas, así que al principio del episodio me he puesto manos a la obra. He abierto mi terminal de Linux, he lanzado una herramienta de código abierto maravillosa llamada OpenCode y le he pedido que crease una aplicación para la terminal en Rust para gestionar mis tareas (un TODO clásico)¿Qué herramientas tenemos a nuestro alcance en 2026?• Cursor• Lovable• Claude CodePor otro lado, si eres de los míos y te apasiona el código abierto:• OpenCode.• Cline.• OpenHands • AiderEl lado oscuro: Las trampas de la falsa seguridadNo todo es perfecto y es de vital importancia hablar del lado oscuro de esta tecnología. Es una trampa cognitiva de falsa confianza de manual.La conclusión: La IA no te quitará el trabajo, pero sí cambiará el juegoCapítulos del episodio:00:00:00 Introducción al Vibe Coding y la revolución del desarrollo00:01:40 El origen del Vibe Coding y cómo empezar con un prompt00:05:50 ¿Qué es realmente el Vibe Coding y qué es el Agentic Engineering?00:08:20 ¿Para quién sirve el Vibe Coding?

Episode 263 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. The Spurs just stole Game 3 in Madison Square Garden and suddenly we've got ourselves a real NBA Finals. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and Brandon Harper break it all down the morning after — from De'Aaron Fox's backseat tendencies to Wembanyama's growing confidence as an enforcer, to whether this Spurs team actually has what it takes to steal another one in New York.   Topics covered this week: Spurs take Game 3 — what changed and what it means going into Game 4 De'Aaron Fox settling for jumpers when he should be attacking the basket Wemby's evolving physicality — is he figuring out he can get away with stuff? Dylan Harper off the bench: why the rookie energy matters more than a starting spot The chippy nature of this series — Hart's kick, Wemby's elbow, and whether any of it helps Trump at MSG, the blowback, and some truly unhinged postgame scenes outside the Garden Robert Horry saw Pop recently — how's Gregg Popovich doing? (Short answer: a lot better) Rick Brunson's full-court dad moment in Game 2 ESPN's AI Tony Parker disaster — and Robert finally getting his highlight reel moment Sam Presti's "sixth defender" comments about SGA and social media criticism Tribute to Stacey King, and Quinn Snyder's extension in Atlanta Big Shot of the Week: Fourth-grader Magnolia Bridegroom saves her dad's life with CPR Shootout is back — NBA Finals champions since 1999, MVPs who missed the Finals, oldest arenas, and more   Robert Horry is a seven-time NBA champion. He's been here before. And he's not done talking.

In the midst of the NBA Finals, the energy at Madison Square Garden was electric, with the Knicks taking on the Spurs in a thrilling matchup. The crowd was on their feet, cheering on their team with a fervor that's hard to match. But amidst all the excitement, the conversation turned to the real MVPs of the game: the fans. This episode, Murph & Markus is joined by Sam Amick of the Athletic, who shares his thoughts on the unique atmosphere at the Garden and the impact it has on the players. The discussion delves into the contrast between the Knicks' and Spurs' fan bases, with Sam noting that the Knicks' fans are a dedicated and passionate group. He also touches on the challenges of being a fan in the big city, where the lines between fans and players can get blurred. The conversation also explores the role of social media in shaping the narrative around the game, and how it can sometimes create a false sense of reality. One of the key takeaways from the episode is the importance of the crowd's energy in influencing the game. Sam shares his observations on how the Knicks' fans can be a game-changer, and how the Spurs' fans are also a force to be reckoned with. The discussion also touches on the topic of player behavior, including a notable incident involving Jalen Brunson and Wemby. If you're looking for a deeper dive into the world of NBA fans and the impact they have on the game, this episode is a must-listen. Join the speaker and Sam Amick as they break down the highs and lows of the NBA Finals and explore what makes the fans tick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eric Ries is the author of Lean Startup (millions of copies sold), serial founder, ex-EIR at Harvard, and author of a new book: Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great.Why is this relevant? Most climate startups optimize for growth and capital, not governance. That's how mission-driven companies get sold, diluted, or pointed in the wrong direction over time.From the book summary: “Drawing on two decades of work with founders, CEOs, investors, and institution builders, Ries shows how these failures arise predictably, and how they can be prevented. He reframes corporate governance not as bureaucracy or compliance, but as a creative and strategic act at the heart of building enduring, mission-controlled companies.”Why it mattersMost climate founders focus on product, capital, and growth. Almost none design governance early. That's how companies built to solve climate problems end up owned by actors working against them.In this episode:The Lean Startup breaks at mission scale – MVPs and rapid iteration work early. But mission-driven companies need a long-term philosophical foundation to survive the “flat part of the curve.”Success creates a dangerous new asset: trust – Mission-driven companies generate outsized trust with customers, employees, and society. That trust becomes exploitable as companies scale.The system is designed to extract, not protect – Delaware C-Corps are legally oriented toward shareholder value maximization. Over time, this pressures companies to trade mission for liquidity.The Revlon Doctrine is the forcing function – Once a company is for sale, boards must choose the highest bidder. Even if it destroys the original mission.Real example: mission failure at scale – A UK therapeutics company was sold to a tobacco firm offering a slightly higher bid. Within ~3 years, ~$900M in value was wiped out.Quick fix most founders ignore – Converting to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) can be done with a simple filing. It allows balancing mission and shareholder value. Only ~5–10% of climate companies have done this.Advanced structures for long-term control -  Foundations, trusts, and employee ownership models preserve mission across decades. Data across ~54,000 companies shows better growth, retention, and resilience.Investor objections are often weak - “It's unusual” or “others won't like it.” But climate investing is already a non-consensus bet. Governance should be, too.--Join our confidential CEO community.Private CEO group for VC/PE-backed climate tech founders navigating capital, strategy, and scale. Capped at 45 CEOs.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the fallout from the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, including: why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is unlikely to ever win another NBA MVP award, whether OKC can count on Chet Holmgren moving forward as they try to navigate a Western Conference playoff race featuring Victor Wembanyama, why the emergence of Cason Wallace could lead to guys like Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins getting traded, how the NBA's dreaded 2nd Apron could derail the Thunder's 'dynasty' before it ever really started, whether disgruntled superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is a realistic trade option for the Thunder, and much more! #OddCouple Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

What if the biggest threat to your company is not competition, but the systems everyone told you to trust?In this episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup methodology and bestselling author of The Lean Startup, The Startup Way, and Incorruptible, for a conversation about leadership, corporate governance, innovation, and why so many modern companies lose their way as they grow.Eric unpacks the dangerous side of “best practices,” why shareholder primacy often destroys long-term value, and how financial pressure quietly reshapes company culture from the inside out. He also shares the untold story behind Costco's governance model, why Anthropic's structure matters in the AI race, and what founders misunderstand about speed, alignment, and leadership integrity.You'll learn:Why many “best practices” are actually value destroyingWhat Eric Ries means by “financial gravity”How companies lose their mission after founders lose controlWhy Costco became one of the strongest governance models in businessThe hidden danger of shareholder primacyWhy trustworthiness may be the most underrated asset in businessHow Lean Startup was misunderstood by most foundersThe real purpose behind MVPs and rapid experimentationWhy principles create faster companies, not slower onesHow aligned teams move faster with less management overheadWhat Anthropic is doing differently with AI governanceWhy constraints often create breakthrough innovationThe leadership lesson Eric learned from nearly compromising his own principlesHow founders can build companies their grandchildren will be proud ofWe talk about:00:00 Why Eric Ries says builders are “under siege”02:00 The hidden problem with modern business “best practices”05:00 Why shareholder primacy destroys long-term companies08:00 The untold Costco and Sol Price story12:00 How Costco built a governance fortress16:00 Understanding “financial gravity” inside organizations19:00 Why Costco shareholders defended leadership decisions22:00 The problem with management entrenchment24:00 Why corporations should function more like balanced systems26:00 Anthropic's governance structure and AI leadership30:00 Why checks and balances do not kill innovation32:00 The real philosophy behind Lean Startup35:00 Why principles create speed inside organizations38:00 The overlooked role of trust and alignment40:00 Why great leaders intentionally make things harder42:00 The danger of compromising on core values44:00 Eric's hardest leadership decision46:00 What founders misunderstand about success and power47:00 How to build companies designed to last generationsFollow Eric onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eries/Website: https://theleanstartup.com/ Connect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon
