The "improve 1% every day" mantra sounds inspiring until you realize it mostly gets people tweaking button colors and reorganizing task managers. Real improvements in early-stage businesses come from unexpected moments—like a single customer conversation that reveals you've been doing something wrong for six months. Instead of chasing unmeasurable micro-improvements, talk to one customer every day. That's where assumptions clash with reality, where you learn their language, and where you discover the insights that actually move the needle.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/the-1-improvement-myth-why-customer-conversations-beat-micro-improvements-every-time/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/433-the-1-improvement-myth Check 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.

From Burnout to Business Owner (Client Case Study)In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful career coaching case study with my client, Maren. After moving from the Netherlands to Sweden and building a “squiggly” career across physiotherapy, admin, tech support, HR tech and customer success, she hit a point of exhaustion and misalignment at work.Maren came to coaching feeling tired, frustrated, and unsure of her next career move. Together, we explored her strengths, values and ideal work life. What started as a search for a new role turned into something bigger: the clarity and confidence to start her own business and design work that truly fits her.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow career coaching creates clarity The tools we used to help Maren understand her strengths, preferences and ideal working environment.From self-doubt to self-advocacy at work How Maren went from “keeping quiet” to confidently speaking up, communicating her value, and challenging assumptions about what was possible in her career.A practical path from employee to business owner How she made a calculated, low-risk transition into entrepreneurship in Sweden, including using a legally protected leave to start her business without losing job security.In this episode, we talk about:What burnout and misalignment looked like for her day-to-dayWhy trying to “figure it all out in your head” keeps you stuckHow informational interviews and LinkedIn outreach gave her real-world dataThe mindset shift from “maybe one day I'll start a business” to “I'm a business owner now”The emotional reality of starting a business: fear, excitement, headaches… and growthMaren also shares how coaching helped her avoid taking the long, indirect “multi-stop flight” in her career, and instead take a more direct route to the work and life she actually wanted.Connect with Maren Today, Maren runs Floohi, where she helps small and growing businesses:Create calm, systemised operations behind the scenesStreamline workflows and processesUse tools like Notion to bring structure and clarity so founders can focus on what they do bestIf you're a business owner who feels like everything is in your head and your backend is chaos, you'll love hearing how Maren supports her clients.
In this episode of This New Way, Aydin sits down with Hai Nghiem from AGI Ventures Canada to explore how Claude Code is changing the way teams build software, automate workflows, and even run go-to-market operations—without requiring everyone to be a developer.Hai walks through real, hands-on examples of using Claude Code as a terminal-based AI agent to qualify inbound leads, generate follow-up emails and statements of work, manage internal context with skills and sub-agents, and even automate browser-based tasks like filling out applications. The conversation dives deep into go-to-market engineering, context engineering, and why skills are becoming one of the most powerful primitives for scaling AI across an organization.If you're curious how non-technical teams can start using agents today—or how technical teams can dramatically compress GTM and sales workflows—this episode is a must-listen.Key Timestamps00:00 - Intro00:08.334 – “What's the killer AI product everyone should be using?”00:25.582 – Hai introduces Claude Code and why it's blowing up01:10.900 – Claude Code as an agent running in your terminal01:45.600 – Go-to-market engineering and reducing SDR teams02:10.222 – Industry trend: shrinking sales teams with AI agents03:45.976 – Claude Code vs Cursor for coding workflows04:32.100 – Writing 90% of production code with AI (safely)05:45.300 – Non-coding automation with Claude Code, Zapier, and n8n06:01.645 – What AGI Ventures Canada does06:45.900 – AI Tinkers community and the origins of AGI Ventures07:38.958 – Automating inbound lead qualification08:50.839 – Live role play: discovery call walkthrough09:12.607 – Using Notion as a live note-taker and context store10:03.350 – Example GTM automation use cases at Fellow11:52.973 – Running Claude Code with “dangerously skip permissions”13:07.050 – Sub-agents vs skills explained16:40.851 – What Claude “skills” actually are17:15.359 – Email writer skill walkthrough20:19.750 – Auto-updating skills from real GTM learnings22:19.592 – How Claude pulls context from Notion automatically25:42.632 – Generating follow-up emails using skills30:08.595 – Generating Statements of Work with scripts31:35.478 – Browser automation with the Claude Chrome extension32:16.870 – Auto-filling applications using personal skills34:56.562 – AI-powered Discord bot for community support37:18.114 – Live fact-checking inside Discord38:09.159 – How to contact AGI VenturesTools & Technologies MentionedClaude (Anthropic)An AI assistant positioned as a business-focused alternative to ChatGPT.Claude CodeA terminal-based AI agent that can write code, automate workflows, manage files, and interact with browsers—used heavily for GTM and internal automation.Claude SkillsLightweight, reusable instruction sets that teach Claude how to perform specific tasks (e.g., writing sales emails) without permanently consuming context.Claude Sub-agentsDelegated agents used to manage context and offload complex tasks without bloating the main agent's context window.NotionUsed as a lightweight CRM, document store, and central source of truth for agent context.DiscordPrimary internal and community communication platform, integrated with AI bots for automated responses.Chrome Automation (Claude Extension)Allows Claude Code to control the browser and complete web-based tasks like filling out forms.ZapierNo-code automation tool for connecting apps and workflows.n8nOpen-source workflow automation tool often used for advanced AI and agent pipelines.GPT Models (OpenAI)Currently used in AGI Ventures' Discord bot, with plans to migrate to Claude models.Contact Hai:agiventures.cahai@agiventures.cahttps://ca.linkedin.com/in/haiphunghiemSubscribe at thisnewway.com to get the step-by-step playbooks, tools, and workflows.
Episode 436 | AI and Automation: What Should School Owners Actually Use? Podcast Description AI is everywhere right now—and for a lot of martial arts school owners, it's either exciting—or overwhelming. In Episode 436, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo cut through the hype and get practical about what AI and automation are actually good for inside a school. They talk about why tech won't fix broken fundamentals, how to audit your numbers before you start building automations, and the real-world use cases that can save you time without turning your school into a “robot school.” Along the way, they share stories from the trenches—including Allie using AI to create a ninja “we miss you” video, using ChatGPT to rewrite a heated parent message into something kind and effective, and why too many automations can create “white noise” that makes families tune you out. Key Takeaways AI and automation are different tools. Automation is “if/then” triggers (texts, emails, reminders). AI is adaptive and conversational (helping with replies, content, and decision support). AI won't fix broken fundamentals. It can't repair a weak offer, unclear schedules, poor culture, or bad sales conversations—but it can improve speed, consistency, and follow-through. Audit before you automate. Track lead response time, booking rate, show-up rate, close rate, and first-90-day retention before you start adding more tech. Speed still wins. When possible, the best move is still personal contact fast—call or text a lead within minutes. Too many automations can backfire. If families get flooded with emails/texts, it becomes “white noise” and they opt out. Use AI to communicate with more care. Allie shares how he used ChatGPT to rewrite a message to a parent (when emotions were high) and it completely changed the outcome. Must-haves first. Automated lead follow-up, scheduling/confirmations, and no-show recovery are the highest ROI automations. Nice-to-haves next. Content help, review requests, and referral prompts can work great once your basics are clean. Don't automate the important stuff. Billing disputes, cancellations, complaints, and emotionally charged conversations need a human. Guardrails matter. Build a voice guide, set rules (tone, language, escalation), and always offer a “talk to a human” option. Action Steps for School Owners Do a quick audit this week. Lead response time (minutes, not hours) Booking rate Show-up rate Close rate First 90-day retention Fix your #1 leak before adding new tools. If your show-up rate is low, focus on confirmations and reminders. If your close rate is low, focus on sales conversations. Let the numbers tell you what to fix. Set up (or clean up) your must-have automations. Instant lead follow-up (text/email) Scheduling + confirmations No-show follow-up + reschedule prompts Audit your existing automations for “white noise.” Check if families are receiving overlapping offers or too many messages. Clean up old tags, old campaigns, and outdated promos. Use AI as your “calm-down coach” for tough messages. Before you hit send on a heated reply, paste it into ChatGPT and ask: “Rewrite this in a loving, compassionate, clear way.” Build an FAQ/onboarding library to reduce repetitive questions. Put your most common questions in one place (website/app/videos): uniforms, promotions, how early to arrive, what to expect, etc. Create a simple weekly stats habit. Start small: trials booked, trials showed, enrollments, and which program they chose. Then build from there. Set guardrails so you don't become a “robot school.” Create a voice guide (phrases you use/never use) Define when a human takes over (complaints, cancellations, billing, pricing) Always offer a human option Additional Resources Mentioned Spark Membership Software (automations, follow-up, reporting) LeadHunter Media (lead follow-up + AI texting support) Notion (used to track automations and systems) Upstream by Dan Heath (the “stop rescuing people downstream” story) Atomic Habits by James Clear Everybody Matters (mentioned as a book Duane is filtering through AI) Dan Sullivan (concept: “I always have a person between me and the technology”) If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another school owner. And remember: AI should give you more freedom—not more work.

Most founders drown in content — YouTube, TikTok, newsletters, podcasts — but they rarely create anything themselves. And here's the problem: consumption doesn't build businesses; creation does. In this episode, I share the practical systems and mindset shifts I've used to consistently create content for my personal brand and Foundr, even while running a company. From my “create before you consume” rule, to batching, to living by my notes, to repurposing frameworks, this is the exact approach that's helped me create momentum without burning out. Here's what you'll take away: • The rule that changed everything: create before you consume • How to build a simple content operating system using Notes, Notion, voice memos, and AI • Why one piece of content can become dozens of assets across platforms • How to capture ideas in real time instead of staring at a blank page • The mindset shift: you don't need to be a content machine — you just need to notice your life If you apply this system in 2026, you'll build leverage, authority, and opportunities that scrolling alone will never give you. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

The entrepreneurial world loves telling founders to "never give up"—but what if that advice is slowly killing your business? In this episode, I unpack why persistence without direction is just expensive stubbornness. The real skill isn't grinding through everything; it's knowing which assumptions to abandon while keeping the business alive. I share why running parallel experiments beats blind faith, and what a Twitter thread about Pieter Levels' "ugly" landing pages taught me about the beliefs we cling to without questioning.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/dont-give-up-your-assumptions/The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/432-dont-give-up-your-assumptions Check 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.

They also explain how to establish coachable moments, highlight the importance of truly listening, and share strategies to help others develop a stronger sense of initiative and responsibility.

Dear Listener, are you exhausted by the endless swipe-and-scroll cycle of dating apps? Do you wish potential matches could get to know the real you—not just a few photos and a character-limited bio? Well then, I'd like you to meet my friend, Date-Me Doc.Date-Me Docs are standalone documents (typically housed in Google Docs or Notion) that live outside dating apps and give you space to share who you truly are, what you're looking for, and why you'd make a great partner.But here's the twist: we believe creating a Date-Me Doc is valuable even if you never share it with anyone. Why? Because the process forces you to get crystal clear on what you want—and as we like to say, love favors the clear-sighted. That clarity will serve you whether you're swiping on Hinge, chatting someone up at a coffee shop, or asking friends to set you up.In this episode, we walk you through our recommended structure, how to use photos effectively, why vulnerability attracts (not repels!) the right people, and how to share your Date-Me Doc with cuties you meet in real life (Josh even role-plays it for you!).If you're craving a slower, more intentional approach to dating—one focused on depth over dopamine—this episode is for you.Key Takeaways00:00 Introduction and Overview 01:21 What is a Date-Me Doc? 05:21 Why should you create a Date-Me doc? 15:45 How to write a Date-Me Doc 22:22 Crafting Your Unique 'Me' Section 26:19 Describing Your Ideal Partner in the 'You' Section 29:29 Creating the 'We' Section and Final TipsResources and linksTired of Dating Apps, Some Turn to ‘Date-Me Docs' - NY TimesDate Me DirectoryDate-Me Doc Template - coming soon!Ep. 15 - Online Dating 102: Perfecting Your Profile & PhotosEp. 2 - What to look for in a long-term partnerDownloadable Guide: What to look for in a long-term partnerHave a question or comment?

Going Paperless: To Be or Not to Be? Episode 366 – Over the years, it seems that each of us—whether by choice or not– has been moving gradually from paper statements and checks to digital. Is it time to cut the cord completely? More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 366 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode, is it time to go paperless? Like many people, I tend to save stuff: like credit card bills, bank statements, paper receipts, etc. I throw them into an empty file drawer until the end of the year. Then, on an annual basis, I'll sort through this giant pile of paper, organize everything and place it into a series of folders, which take up space in my filing cabinet. It all leads to one inevitable question: Why? What's the point of spending all this time organizing all this paperwork that, likely, I'm never going to look at again. Certainly, some items, such as cards and notes from family members, are worth saving. But what about the other 95 percent? For many of us, it's simply the force of habit. Going digital has its advantages. For one thing, you may find that once you're used to it, digital documents can be easier to organize and access, and you'll save time in the process. Not to mention the space you can save in your house, and the overall environmental impact. Has the time come for most of us to go fully paperless? If so, where do we even begin? The process often starts with a few small steps such as getting some of your statements by email or paying some of your bills using a direct transfer rather than a paper check. But there's still a lot of paper. What's the next phase if you want to get more organized? Here are a few steps you can take: Switch to online billing and statements. Using online tools with financial institutions and service providers, such as your cellular company, can make a big dent in your paper clutter. The truth is, if you need to look up one of your old statements, it'll probably take less time to find it online than if you had to dig through your paperwork. Pay bills online. You can schedule your online payments through your bank. They can make your payments automatically every month, or if you don't want to go that far, they can automatically remind you when a payment is due. When was the last time you sent a check somewhere, only to have it lost in the mail? This is one way to avoid such a hassle. Plus, in most cases, by paying online you can decide exactly what day the other party receives the funds. There are limits, of course. Your landlord may still want a paper check. Same thing with certain vendors, like your landscaper or cleaning service if you have one. So at least for now, no matter how far you want to take this, you're still going to be writing a few checks. Digital note-taking. If you take a lot of notes during meetings, whether for business or personal reasons, a digital note-taking platform can help. And not just with the process itself, but also with providing easy access later on. Some of the most well-known platforms are Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, and Notion.[1] Your to-do list. Most smartphones have a “to-do” app which can help organize your essential work and/or personal tasks. They make it very hard to forget your priority items. Taking advantage of digital signatures. Digital signature tools eliminate the need to print and physically sign important documents. It's a good way to save your time and resources. Among the most popular of these tools are Adobe Acrobat Sign and Docusign.[2] Storing your digital information. You'll need to select a place to keep your data safe and organized. Some of the most popular are Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox.[3] One more tip: It might be best to start a project like this on a going-forward basis. That is, try not to think much about the big pile of paperwork you already have. There's no need to feel overwhelmed by that backlog. You'll get to it someday. And when you do, you might consider purchasing a quality paper shredder to help you through your pile. There are also shredding services you can contract that will pick up any documents you set aside for disposal. For now, it's more important just to get started with something. But also note that there are limits to how far you can go. Not many people ever truly achieve a 100 percent digital lifestyle. There are some items that you'll still need to keep a paper copy of, such as wills, birth certificates, title deeds and stock certificates. You might also want to keep a paper printout of your most important online account data, perhaps in a safe. It could save time and money for your family should something happen to you. But more than that, there are likely some paper items that you will never be able to replace. I received a birthday card from my grandmother in 1976 with a crisp new $5 bill in it. It still sits on my desk with the $5 intact. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Ryan Rottman, the hardest thing in growing a small business is knowing when to pivot. He emphasizes listening closely to customers, recognizing early signs that something isn't working, and having the courage to change direction before wasting too much time, money, and energy on the wrong path. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ryan Rottman's favorite business book that's helped him the most is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries — he often says its principles of rapid testing, validated learning, and iterative growth were game-changers in how he approached building and scaling Athlete Agent. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ryan Rottman recommends learning from practical, founder-led resources, especially podcasts like How I Built This, Masters of Scale, and The Tim Ferriss Show for real stories on growth, resilience, and decision-making, along with hands-on platforms like Y Combinator Startup School and HubSpot Academy for actionable lessons that help small businesses scale smarter. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ryan Rottman often points to project management and customer engagement tools as must-haves for small business growth. One he recommends is Notion — it's great for organizing ideas, goals, workflows, and team collaboration all in one place. For customer growth and marketing, he also suggests HubSpot CRM, which helps track leads, manage contacts, and automate marketing without a huge budget. Both tools are practical, scalable, and especially helpful when you're building structure and consistency in your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Ryan Rottman, his advice to himself on day one would be to focus intently on what customers actually need, not on your own initial vision. He would stress communicating with concise clarity to earn quicker and more meaningful responses. He recommends building a firm but fair management style by setting clear expectations from the beginning. Additionally, he advises pivoting decisively when the data shows a need, rather than delaying out of pride. Finally, he emphasizes developing a resilient mindset to withstand rejection and persevere through challenges.

We joke about founders wearing many hats, but that metaphor misses the point. It's not about swapping accessories—it's about growing entirely new heads, each with its own brain that thinks, speaks, and prioritizes differently. In this episode, I explore why the transition from consulting or agency work to software entrepreneurship is so disorienting, and why the instincts that made you successful before might be the exact things preventing success now. From the uncomfortable truth about acquisition in low-touch SaaS to the cognitive dissonance of believing in yourself while questioning everything you know, this is about what it really takes to become someone new while staying grounded in who you've always been.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/many-heads-not-many-hats-the-founders-identity-crisis/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/many-heads-not-many-hats-the-founders-identity-crisisCheck 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.

What does it actually take to move beyond AI pilots and turn enterprise ambition into real productivity gains? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Olivia Nottebohm, Chief Operating Officer at Box, and it is one that every boardroom seems to be wrestling with right now. AI conversations have matured quickly. The early excitement has given way to harder questions about return, trust, and what changes when software stops assisting work and starts acting inside it. Olivia brings a rare vantage point to that discussion, shaped by leadership roles at Google, Dropbox, Notion, and now Box, where she oversees global go to market, customer success, and partnerships at a time when AI is becoming embedded in everyday operations. We talked about why early adopters are already seeing productivity lifts of around thirty seven percent, while others remain stuck in experimentation. The difference, as Olivia explains, is rarely the model itself. Strategy matters more. Teams that treat AI as a chance to rethink how work flows through the organization are pulling away from those that simply layer automation on top of broken processes. This is where unstructured content, often described as dark data, becomes a competitive asset rather than a liability. When that information is curated, permissioned, and ready for agents to use, entire workflows start to look very different. A large part of our discussion focused on AI agents and why 2026 is shaping up to be the year they move from novelty to necessity. Agents are already joining the workforce, taking on tasks that used to require multiple handoffs between teams. That shift brings speed and autonomy, but it also raises new questions about trust. Olivia shared why governance has become one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise AI, especially when agents act independently or interact across platforms. Her perspective was clear. Without strong security, permissioning, and oversight, the risks grow faster than the rewards. We also explored why companies using a mix of models and agents tend to see stronger returns, and how Box approaches this with a neutral, customer choice driven philosophy while maintaining consistent governance. From the five stages of enterprise AI maturity to the idea of a future agent manager role, this conversation offers a grounded look at what AI at scale actually demands from leadership, culture, and operating models. So as investment accelerates and AI becomes part of the fabric of work, the real question is this. Are organizations ready to redesign how they operate around agents, data, and trust, or will they keep experimenting while others pull ahead, and what do you think separates the two?

C'est là qu'il découvre une idée qui deviendra Notion.Mais l'histoire de Notion n'est pas celle d'une révolution. C'est celle d'un retour à cette idée : l'informatique devrait être aussi universelle que la lecture et l'écriture.Alors que la plupart des startups courent après les fonctionnalités, Ivan a passé 5 ans à la poursuivre. Ce chemin a failli tuer l'entreprise. Ivan a reconstruit Notion de zéro trois fois.Mais la vraie révolution se passe en interne.Notion consacre désormais l'essentiel de son temps à construire une infrastructure qui fonctionne avec tous les modèles d'IA pour libérer leur pleine puissance.Dans cet épisode, Ivan révèle :L'erreur qui a inspiré toute la philosophie de NotionLa stratégie du « brocoli sucré » : comment cacher la puissance de l'informatique dans des outils familiersPourquoi l'interface de Notion a mis 5 ans à devenir « simple »Pourquoi Notion ne construit aucun modèle d'IA mais les utilise tousComment 300 développeurs chez Notion font le travail de 3 000Le parcours d'Ivan prouve que les meilleurs produits viennent de la compréhension de l'histoire, pas de la course aux tendances.Une masterclass pour apprendre à construire des produits avec une approche philosophique.Vous pouvez contacter Ivan sur X.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Le logiciel qui remplace tous les autres00:09:53 : Le choc culturel, entre “travailler pour vivretravailler” et “vivre pour travailler”00:27:39 : Comment l'art a façonné le design de Notion00:40:12 : L'informatique devrait être aussi universelle que la lecture et l'écriture00:52:49 : Les fondateurs oubliés de l'informatique01:01:08 : Le secret des grands produits : tout reconstruire de zéro01:09:36 : Le cerveau central de votre entreprise01:21:16 : Peut-on faire tourner une entreprise entière sur Notion ?01:30:36 : Le dilemme de l'IA : quel modèle choisir ?01:39:53 : Comment les agents IA révolutionnent le développement informatique ?01:48:18 : Créer ses propres outils avec NotionLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #487 - VF - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business et IA : rien ne sera jamais plus comme avant#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same AgainNous avons parlé de :Les photos d'IvanLa théorie du système complexeLes recommandations de lecture :What Is a Complex System?, James LadymanVous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

That last one led him down a rabbit hole, he dove into the history of the web, then the history of computing itself. There, he discovered a forgotten vision that would become Notion.But Notion's origin story isn't about disruption. It's about bringing back that vision: computing should be as universal as reading and writing.While most startups chase feature lists, Ivan spent 5 years chasing that bigger idea. This path nearly killed the company. Ivan rebuilt Notion from scratch three times.Today, Notion consolidates several tools for companies like Qonto, L'Oréal, and Toyota, saving them time and money.But the real revolution is happening under the hood.Notion now spends most of its time building infrastructure that works with every AI model to unlock their full power for all customers.In this episode, Ivan reveals:The mistake that inspired Notion's entire philosophyThe "sugar-coated broccoli" strategy: how to hide computing power inside familiar toolsWhy Notion's UI took 5 years to become "simple"Why Notion doesn't build AI models but uses them allHow 300 Notion programmers do the work of 3,000Ivan's path proves that the best products come from understanding history, not just chasing trends.A masterclass in building products with philosophical depth.You can contact Ivan on X.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : The LEGO software that replaces them all00:09:53 : The culture shock: from "work to work" to "live to work"00:27:39 : How art shaped Notion's design00:40:12 : Computing should be as universal as reading and writing00:52:49 : The forgotten pioneers of computing01:01:08 : Great products' secret is rebuilding from scratch01:09:36 : The central brain for your entire company01:21:16 : Is it possible to run an entire company with Notion?01:30:36 : The AI dilemma, which model to choose?01:39:53 : AI agents are revolutionizing software development01:48:18 : Everyone can build their own tools with NotionWe referred to previous GDIY episodes : #487 - VF - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business et IA : rien ne sera jamais plus comme avant#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same AgainA few recent episodes in English : #513 - VO - Jesper Brodin - IKEA - 40 billion in revenue empire with no bank loan#500 - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - How to master humanity's most powerful invention#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#473 - VO - Brian Chesky - Airbnb - « We're just getting started »#452 - VO - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - L'humanité 2.0 : Homo technicus plus qu'Homo sapiens#437 - James Dyson - Dyson - “Failure is more exciting than success”#431 - Sean Rad - Tinder - How the swipe fever took over the worldWe spoke about :Ivan's photosComplex System TheoryReading Recommendations :What Is a Complex System?, James LadymanInterested in sponsoring Generation Do It Yourself or proposing a partnership ?

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Natalee Leach, founder of The Payroll Collective, shares her journey from a corporate payroll career to building a fast-growing consultancy on track for $3M in revenue. She breaks down how values-driven leadership, people-first culture, and client retention fueled rapid growth. Natalee also opens up about managing fast scaling, hiring at the right time, and the mental strain of entrepreneurship. She explains why foundations, systems, and the right team matter more than aggressive sales. A candid conversation on sustainable growth, leadership, and building a business with purpose. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Natalee Leach, the hardest thing in growing a small business is the speed of growth. Growing too fast can feel scary and overwhelming, especially with the fear that "what goes up must come down." Managing rapid scaling while keeping the business stable, sustainable, and healthy is the real challenge. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Natalee Leach's favorite business book is The Diary of a CEO, which has helped her the most by offering honest, relatable insights into leadership, mindset, and personal growth, while also providing validation and practical ideas that she can apply to building and leading a successful business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Natalee Leach recommends a few great podcasts and online resources to help grow a small business, including The Diary of a CEO for mindset and leadership insights, How I Built This for real founder stories, and Smart Passive Income for practical business strategy. She also points to MasterClass, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning as solid hubs to level up skills in marketing, leadership, and scaling operations — all great for small business growth. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Natalee Leach often points to Notion as one of her go-to tools for growing a small business — it's great for organizing workflows, project plans, SOPs, content calendars, client onboarding, and team collaboration all in one place. She also recommends Slack for team communication, Asana or Trello for task management, and Stripe/QuickBooks for streamlined billing and finances. These tools help keep operations smooth, teams aligned, and growth intentional. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Natalee Leach, one advice she would give herself is to book a Pilates session or schedule time for yourself in your diary from day one because the business will run over you if you do not. She emphasizes that setting these boundaries immediately is crucial for maintaining a lifestyle that offers longevity rather than constant exhaustion. This self-care allows for quality time with family and friends, ensuring you are not too tired to actually enjoy life outside of work. By prioritizing your own physical and mental strength early on, you can better power through the different phases of business growth. Ultimately, she views scheduling this personal time as a paramount habit that business owners must develop to prevent being derailed by the mental strain of leadership.

There's something strange about founders who built their entire business on open source software and open standards, then turn around and say you should lock customers in as hard as possible. I think that's a horrible practice—and counterintuitively, making it easy to leave actually makes people stay longer. Today I'm making the case for frictionless import and export, with real examples from PermanentLink and lessons from Fathom Analytics, and why informed choice beats artificial lock-in every time.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/the-case-against-vendor-lock-in-why-easy-exit-means-better-retention/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/430-the-case-against-vendor-lock-in-why-easy-exit-means-better-retention Check 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.

If you fall short on sleep, can you really “catch up” the next night? Many people think so — but our bodies don't quite work that way. This episode begins with what science says about recovering from poor sleep and how to optimize deep sleep when your schedule gets disrupted. https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a40511210/deep-sleep/ What makes a song a hit? Trends, personal taste, timing, and luck all play a role — but today, technology shapes popular music more than ever. From how songs are created to how they spread, the path to a hit is constantly evolving. Chris Dalls Riva joins me to unpack it all. He's Senior Product Manager at Audiomack, a musician and writer, creator of the newsletter Can't Get Much Higher, and author of Uncharted Territory: What Numbers Tell Us About the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves. (https://amzn.to/4pODklu). All kinds of things can be explained by math – from the beauty of a rainbow to the incredible pattern of sunflower seeds to why we have some left-handed people but not too many. Joining me to drill into the numbers on all this is Eddie Woo. He is the head mathematics teacher at Cherrybrook Technology High School in Sydney, Australia. In 2012, he began recording his lessons and posting them on YouTube and created Wootube https://misterwootube.com/ which has more than 600,000 subscribers and over 33 million views. He's also author of It's a Numberful World: How Math Is Hiding Everywhere (https://amzn.to/3KOHPOb). There are 12 core workplace skills that shape how well we perform — and everyone has strengths and weaknesses across them. Understanding yours can make a big difference in how you work and how others work with you. Insights come from Chuck Martin, author of Smarts.(https://amzn.to/3KzlaWc) PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
