Jeremy Horowitz is the Managing Partner of Because Ventures and the creator of Let's Buy a Biz!, a media brand and private equity-backed content engine built to make ecommerce M&A more transparent, data-driven, and founder-friendly. Because Ventures is a private equity search fund focused on acquiring and scaling Shopify brands and apps, while Let's Buy a Biz! documents what it actually takes to grow Top 1% ecommerce businesses.Before launching either venture, Jeremy worked across every layer of the Shopify ecosystem from scaling high-growth DTC brands like Lumi, to leading growth at top-performing Shopify apps like Gorgias. His on-the-ground experience gave him a front-row seat to what really drives retention, profit, and valuation. Now, through Because Ventures, Jeremy applies that knowledge to acquire and operate ecommerce businesses with sustainable margins and focused stacks.Whether debunking the myth that “every brand needs subscriptions,” tracking the 84% adoption rate of email/SMS across $1M+ stores, or predicting which app categories will consolidate over the next five years, Jeremy brings a deep analytical lens to ecommerce strategy. He shares insights from crawling 103,000 Shopify stores, explains why most loyalty programs fail, and urges founders to simplify their tech stack before adding complexity. His story is a masterclass in using real data, not hype to guide business decisions.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:40] Intro[00:55] Scaling DTC brands to eight figures[02:03] Expanding beyond Shopify Plus assumptions[04:18] Filtering out inactive and duplicate stores[05:05] Highlighting the top 10 most used apps[09:08] Focusing on what actually drives growth[10:56] Comparing native vs third-party app adoption[12:23] Spotting analytics as a breakout category[14:11] Explaining why real CRO starts at $5M+[16:49] Spotting support as an underused category[18:29] Unpacking the subscription model myth[22:47] Auditing app stacks to save thousandsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeEcommerce Social Impact Fund because.ventures/index.htmlInsider analysis of the largest Ecommerce brands' financials letsbuyabiz.xyz/Follow Jeremy Horowitz linkedin.com/in/jeremyhorowitz1If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how to improve team collaboration in software development through the lens of AI-driven insights. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a tight-knit team, or scaling across departments, collaboration remains the backbone of efficiency and success. What Does Collaboration Mean in Development? AI kicked off the discussion with a powerful insight: define “efficiency” in context. But more importantly, it highlighted that collaboration fuels efficiency, not just working faster, but working better. Effective collaboration avoids: Redundant work Misunderstood requirements Tech debt and burnout Rob emphasized that a productive team isn't rushing through tasks but solving the correct problems—together—on the first try. Collaboration Strategies for Solo Developers Even solo developers need structured collaboration between their tools, their future selves, and their automation stack. Top collaboration tips for independent devs: Use opinionated frameworks like Next.js or Rails to minimize decision fatigue. Automate repetitive tasks early to save time in the long run. Commit code regularly with meaningful messages. Document workflows using Notion, Obsidian, or Jira—even if you're the only one using them. Containerize development environments for repeatability and rapid setup. “Solo doesn't mean siloed. Collaborate with your tools, your past decisions, and future goals.” Enhancing Collaboration in Small Development Teams For teams of 2–10 developers, Rob and Michael discussed how tight feedback loops and structured communication are essential to avoid chaos. Recommended practices for small team collaboration: Short, focused daily standups Shared development environments Lightweight Agile or Kanban boards Early investment in CI/CD pipelines Use of pair programming or mob programming for knowledge sharing Michael emphasized Agile's power in synchronizing team efforts, avoiding duplicated work, and solving problems more efficiently as a unit. “Agile helps teams collaborate—not just communicate. It keeps everyone moving in the same direction.” Solving Common Bottlenecks Together AI highlighted four universal collaboration pain points and solutions: Slow Code Reviews - Use SLAs and rotate reviewers Unclear Requirements - Kick off with 15-minute clarification huddles Testing Paralysis - Focus on integration tests and avoid overtesting Context Switching - Block dedicated focus hours Michael zeroed in on testing paralysis, especially in early-stage projects, where developers are too busy scaffolding to write tests. Without collaboration on testing plans, critical issues may be overlooked until it is too late. Rob addressed context switching, warning against excessive meetings that fragment developer flow. Leads should shield devs from distraction by delivering distilled, actionable feedback. Final Thoughts on Collaborative Development As teams grow, minor issues scale fast, and so do inefficiencies. Tools, meetings, workflows, and expectations must all scale intentionally. Rob reminded leaders to summarize and distill information before passing it to their teams and to make clever use of tools like AI, recordings, and summaries to keep everyone aligned without wasting time. “If you're building better developers, you're also building better collaborators.” Take Action: Build Collaboration Into Your Workflow Reassess your standups and review cycles Empower solo devs with documentation and CI/CD Streamline onboarding with containers Test early, test together Protect team focus time Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

It's an Automation AMA! From scheduling social media content to making kids' lunches (yes, really), fellow solopreneurs shared their biggest time-wasters. I ended up creating custom automation solutions for everything from podcast guest research to email management.Special thanks to Kit for letting me record in their Studios! I highly recommend them for email and newsletters!Get my free automations database at **https://streamlined.fm/automation** (powered by Kit, natch)Top TakeawaysSocial media scheduling can be mostly automated using a this kind of workflow: keep video details in Notion or Google Sheets, trigger Zapier when updated, and automatically schedule posts through Buffer or similar tools.Email overwhelm has multiple solutions including using Sanebox and Todoist for organization, plus Zapier watching for specific emails by subject or sender to automatically process them with custom workflows.Podcast guest research becomes manageable with tools like PodMatch for automated guest suggestions, intake forms for self-selection, and Google Alerts or PodScan to identify experts in your niche.AI transcription and summarization saves hours on client calls by automatically processing Zoom transcripts through ChatGPT with custom prompts for different call types (discovery, coaching, etc.).YouTube chapter creation gets easier when you use tools like Ecamm Live's marker button during recording, then search edited transcripts for your noted timestamps instead of relying on AI timing.The "one platform, do it well" approach beats spreading yourself thin across all social media—pick LinkedIn or another single platform and focus your automation efforts there.Show NotesSee the entire conversation hereHow I Keep my Email at Inbox ZeroAutomate Email Management with SaneBoxMy Brown M&M for Podcast Guest PitchingGrowth in Reverse PodcastPodMatchSanebox - Email filtering serviceTodoist - Task managementBuffer - Social media schedulingZapier - Automation platformNotion - All-in-one workspaceEcamm Live - Live streaming softwarepodscan.fm ★ Support this podcast ★

THE KEROUAC PROJECT: https://www.kerouacproject.org/JACK KEROUAC SCHOOL OF DISEMBODIED POETICS: https://www.naropa.edu/academics/schools-centers/jack-kerouac-school-of-disembodied-poetics/The thread of Jack Kerouac's literary and personal life in the American imagination might be unwound succinctly in the following terms: ambitious and fun-loving young man leaves behind his small-town upbringing to chase heroes and dreams in the American West, finding along the way new paths to enlightenment while blazing a trail for generations of seekers to follow.It is a theme familiar to most of us, because more than a few of our favorite novels embrace it. It is also, in the case of Kerouac, almost entirely a fiction. The man most associated with the peripatetic Beat Generation spent more than half his life in his hometown of Lowell, Mass., living with his mother. This master of the postwar American idiom grew up speaking the French dialect of his Canadian immigrant parents and actually attempted an early draft of On The Road (the book was eventually published in 1957) in the dialect of his Franco-American community. Despite the image of a modern spiritual seeker who eventually found a home in Buddhism, Kerouac was born and died a self-identified Catholic; and despite his iconic status as a chronicler of the road, the most prominent theme in Kerouac's novels is a mysticism of place.Kerouac's mystical visions had another specific theme—the crucifixion. In Maggie Cassidy, Christ speaks to him from a crucifix after confession:“My child, you find yourself in the world of mystery and pain not understandable—I know, angel—it is for your good, we shall save you, because we find your soul as important as the soul of the others in the world—but you must suffer for that, in effect my child, you must die, you must die in pain, with cries, frights, despairs—the ambiguities! the terrors!”The Autobiographical Novels of Jack KerouacVisions of Gerard (written 1956, published 1963)About Kerouac's saintly older brother, who died as a child.Doctor Sax (written 1952, published 1959)Maggie Cassidy (written 1953, published 1959)Youthful porchlight romancing in Lowell.The Town and the City (written 1946-49, published 1950)Vanity of Duluoz (written and published 1968)Kerouac's last published novel, a memoir of early days.On The Road (written 1948-56, published 1957)Visions of Cody (written 1951-52, published 1972)More about Neal Cassady.The Subterraneans (written 1953, published 1958)Kerouac's pathetic love story about a black girl who dumps him for Gregory Corso.Tristessa (written 1955-56, published 1960)Junkie prostitute girlfriend in Mexico.The Dharma Bums (written 1957, published 1958)Big Sur (written 1961, published 1962)Desolation Angels (written 1956-61, published 1965)Satori in Paris (written 1965, published 1966)

Our conversation with MacPaw's Senior Software Engineer Serhii Popov and Product Manager Pavlo Haidamak continues to explore the intersection of product development, ethical data practices, and user trust. The team shares their experience building CleanMyMac and Setapp, emphasizing the importance of transparency, responsible data handling, and thoughtful feature design—like their decision to bring back the Space Lens module after unexpected user outcry. With real-world examples, they unpack how customer feedback and cultural perspectives inform their work, and why they believe developers should treat users as collaborators—not data sources.  This edition of MacVoices is supported by Notion, the best AI tool for work.

Rolling out a new tool or process sounds simple—until you try it. In this episode, Galen Low sits down with Frances Odera Matthews, founder of The Notion Bar, to unpack why change management is so hard, even with the best intentions and the best tools. From shiny object syndrome to culture gaps, they explore why tool adoption often fails and what project leaders can do to set their teams up for long-term success.Frances shares practical insights from the front lines of Notion implementations, including how phased rollouts, internal champions, and intentional design can make or break adoption. They also dig into the cultural side of change—how open sharing, avoiding silos, and even acknowledging when to rip the band-aid off can help teams navigate tool fatigue and create lasting transformation.Resources from this episode:Join DPM MembershipSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Frances on LinkedInCheck out the Notion Bar, The Notion Zeitgeist newsletter, and the Coffee & Oysters podcast

Welcome to First Block, a Notion series where founders from the world's leading companies tell us what it was like to navigate the many firsts of their startup journey — and what they learned from that experience.In this episode, we spoke with Michael Truell, Co-founder and CEO of Cursor, an AI code editor that has gone from side project to one of the fastest-growing AI tools in the developer world in under a year. Michael shares why they started with a solution in search of a problem, ignored conventional advice, and focused obsessively on product over everything else. From a 4-person founding team to hiring just one person every few months, their unorthodox path laid the foundation for breakout growth.For video, transcripts, and custom Notion Cursor templates, please visit: ⁠https://ntn.so/2yr1lw⁠To learn more about how Notion is supporting startups, please visit: ⁠https://ntn.so/9ipiek⁠Timestamps00:00: Intro02:18: The original spark and false start in mechanical engineering05:53: The pivot moment to developer tools06:45: The decision to fork VS Code08:45: Building AI-native coding tools and the balance between speed and control12:24: Cursor's explosive growth trajectory13:41: Early mistakes and lessons learned14:16: Hiring philosophy and building the first team17:08: Internal tools and operational philosophy19:01: Maintaining focus in a hyper-fast environment20:53: Advice for founders building in the AI era

Senior Software Engineer Serhii Popov and Product Manager Pavlo Haidamak, both of MacPaw, offer an inside look at how CleanMyMac is built with user trust, transparency, and security at the forefront. They discuss how evolving regulations like GDPR and Apple's system restrictions have changed the way software is developed, tested, and updated. The conversation explores balancing user control with ease of use, why informed permission requests matter, and how user feedback directly shapes product improvements. With examples from their own workflows and challenges, they highlight what it means to build responsible software in an age of heightened privacy concerns.0:09 Introduction to MacPaw's Perspective (Part 1)  This edition of MacVoices is supported by Notion, the best AI tool for work.

TALENT ACQUISITION WITHOUT BOUNDARIES: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FOR GLOBAL TA TEAMS   There are many reasons why companies become geographically dispersed - to better service local markets, to develop specific new products, tap into specialist labour markets, corporate tax efficiency and wage arbitrage, taking advantage of skilled labour wherever it can be found at the best cost coefficient for the business.   How is it like to work in, manage and lead a Global Talent Acquisition team? This is the question we'll be looking to ask in this week's Brainfood Live   - What are the main challenges of working with global TA teams? - How real are cultural differences when it comes to talent acquisition? - Do local recruiters NEED to operate differently, with behaviours best suited to the local landscape? - How does AI innovation impact global communication? - What is the impact of remote vs hybrid vs on premise on management of global Talent Acquisition? - Can it be said that different countries have different status for TA? - How realistic / fair is it to cultivate different practices in TA - how do we determine which is most appropriate? - DEI: how does this work in Global TA? - What are the best methods of fostering team cohesion across distance / time boundaries? - KPI's - are these localised and should they be? - EVP - are these localised and should they be? - Career pathing / Internal mobility - how can leaders provide internal labour liquidity in TA? - Hiring leaders...what best tips / techniques? - Implementing technology ...how to select and implement?   All this and more, with Brainfood Live On Air.   We're with Sandy Grewal, Global HR Transformation Lead (Kambi), Harpreet Kaur, Director Talent Acquisition (Adobe) & Jennifer Candee, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, (IMI)   We are on Friday 13th June, 2pm BST   Click on the Save My Spot button to attend for free, and follow the channel here (recommended) to be notified for this and all future Brainfood Lives   Ep312 is sponsored by our friends Ashby   Ashby is the all-in-one ATS which evolves at the speed of AI.   Trusted by high performing recruiting teams at Notion, Reddit, Shopify, Duolingo, Deliveroo and thousands of other top employers across the globe.

"Speaking Up" is about a collection of kungas (women) discussing shame and what it takes to speak up.

1188. En este capitulo cercano al cierre de esta sexta temporada me apetecía compartir cómo he organizado la producción de este podcast diario, episodio a episodio, a lo largo de estos últimos 190 capítulos. Un ejercicio de revisión y de autoconciencia sobre lo que ha funcionado, lo que ha cambiado, y también lo que quiero ajustar de cara a la próxima temporada. Desde la publicación de los capítulos cada viernes en la versión premium, ‘El destilado del micrófono' hasta el episodio del viernes siguiente en abierto, todo sigue un proceso muy definido (aunque no inamovible). Para poder lanzar esa versión avanzada, tengo que preparar los guiones, grabar, editar, y publicar cada capítulo con bastante antelación. A diferencia de las primeras temporadas, donde grababa casi de un día para otro, ahora todo va con semanas de margen. Las ideas salen de un listado que voy alimentando en Notion, que comienza meses antes, sobre todo durante los meses de verano, momento en el que aprovecho para planificar en bloque. Las grabaciones, antes en falso directo, han pasado a hacerse por bloques, editando después con una plantilla definida. Pensando en separar posteriormente las intros, los CTA, las despedidas… del contenido principal del día. Una vez está listo el contenido, recurro a ChatGPT para generar títulos, descripciones, SEO, hashtags y mensajes para redes sociales. Eso sí, todo lo reviso personalmente para que se adapte a mi tono, estilo y forma de expresarme. Aprovecho esas sugerencias, las adapto y las uso tanto en mi web como en las redes y posteriormente en Ko-fi, donde republico los episodios pasados para seguir dándoles vida. Además, cada sábado lanzo una encuesta para elegir el capítulo más destacado de la semana, y utilizo esa información no solo para aprender qué contenidos han gustado más, sino también para decidir cuáles redifundir durante el verano como repaso con los mejores episodios. Ha sido una temporada muy intensa, con muchos cambios en el método de trabajo y con la incorporación de herramientas como la inteligencia artificial, pero también con mucho aprendizaje de algunos de esos cambios que no han funcionado como esperaba._________________Consigue tu entrada para el directo de '¿Cómo ye la tu movida?' el 27 de junio en las Podnights Madrid a través de Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-como-ye-la-tu-movida-en-podnights-madrid-1401428262659_________________¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Taylor Otwell (@taylorotwell) didn't just create the popular open-source framework Laravel. He turned it into a highly profitable business that helps developers build profitable businesses themselves. Few other open-source devs have such a clear understanding of market needs AND developer requirements. Taylor shares his approach to monetizing freely available code, how he intentionally built an ecosystem of free and paid-for tooling, and where the Laravel journey will go.The blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/taylor-otwell-the-quite-entrepreneurial-creator-of-laravel/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/394-taylor-otwell-the-quite-entrepreneurial-creator-of-laravelCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

We hit the big 2-0-0! In this milestone episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions in tech: Does using AI make us less intelligent, or are we just getting smarter about what skills to prioritize?From ancient philosopher Plato's concerns about writing to modern fears about cognitive offloading, we explore why every major technological shift faces the same "dumbing down" arguments. Spoiler: We think the real question isn't whether AI makes us dumber, but whether we're using it thoughtfully.Plus, Josh demonstrates how to create consistent, professional-looking graphics, characters, and assets using ChatGPT's image generation - no design skills required!

This episode is about something that hit harder than I expected when I lost my job in oil and gas: Not the income. Not the office.But the identity.Who was I if I wasn't “Veslemøy, the geophysicist”?What was I supposed to say at parties, in my bio, or when someone casually asked, “So, what do you do?”In this solo episode, I talk about how I'd unknowingly tied my self-worth to my job title — and what happened when that label disappeared.You'll hear how I started peeling back the layers, reconnecting with parts of myself I'd shelved for years, and learning how to sketch a new identity from the inside out.

Software-as-a-service business acquisitions are in trouble. What is responsible for a downward trend in multiples and acquisition dollar amounts? It has a lot to do with AI, but it may not be what you think.I recently recorded an in-depth session for ​Rob Walling's SaaS Launchpad​. This module is called AI in SaaS, and I share over a dozen pitfalls, unobvious risks, and hard-earned insights from my own AI SaaS building journey.

Do mega-funds really distort early-stage deals? And how should GPs talk to LPs about secondaries, exits, and… failure?

Have you ever walked away from a presentation thinking, “That was… fine,” but not truly moved, inspired, or motivated? Here's the truth: Most presenters mean well - they want to share valuable information - but they miss what truly makes a talk stick with the audience. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a recent presentation I gave at a local AI meetup that got amazing feedback - not because I taught all the things, but because I did these 3 key things instead. You'll learn: What made this AI-focused talk both insightful and inspiring to a room full of people at all levels of tech Why having a clear structure (yes, our Signature Talk Canvas!) is non-negotiable How to go beyond teaching and step into thought leadership by showing your audience what's possible The powerful “aha” moment a friend shared with me after my talk - and why it matters for your delivery How I use AI workflows and agents in my business, from podcast production to lead nurturing Whether you're speaking to clients, colleagues, or on a stage, these 3 secrets will help you create the kind of talk that resonates and gets you invited back.   Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/429/ Get my AI presentation slides + my Notion project: speakingyourbrand.com/ai-human Want to create your own insightful and inspirational signature talk?

Clara (29) and Devin (34) are married with three young kids, trying to build a future while juggling debt, stress, and wildly different approaches to money. Clara racked up $20,000 in credit card debt, while Devin chooses to gamble instead of investing for retirement. They earn well and own two properties, but with zero savings, 75% in fixed costs, and no shared goals, their financial foundation is crumbling. Underneath the spreadsheets and the spending is a toxic parent-child dynamic, causing Clara to feel disempowered and ashamed, while Devin's “dreamer” mindset leads him to believe the next big win will fix everything. Can they dismantle these roles, get honest about their spending, and rebuild as true partners before it's too late?
