Podcasts about origin stories

Michael Moritz has written books through every phase of his life: the first history of Apple and an account of Chrysler's near-death while he was a journalist at Time, a study of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the middle of his 38 years at Sequoia, and now Ausländer, a family memoir, after leaving the firm. Moritz calls himself a dilettante with too many interests, but listen to him on learning to paint in his 40s, or the questions he would ask a ten-year-old boy in a German village in 1890, and you may decide that unsatisfied curiosity is not a small thing to build a life on. Tyler and Michael discuss his childhood in Wales, where his love for visual arts came from, why he disappointed his Latin teacher, having Thanksgiving dinner with Philip Roth, why children don't interrogate their parents about their history, what he feels visiting Germany and why he now holds German citizenship, how a history major with no technical background talked his way into Sequoia, his unpublished Don Valentine profile, what people underrate about Steve Jobs, obsessives versus dilettantes, why capitalism was more ablaze in China than America, what funding the Booker Prize taught him about his own ignorance, how to improve San nonprofits, how an incurable cancer diagnosis changed his calendar, why Britain's stuck, what he'll learn next, and more.

In this episode, Alex French shares the story behind building Bizzy, from having countless ideas and failed businesses to turning a simple cold brew concept into a growing national brand. He opens up about the lessons he learned from failure, the importance of solving a real consumer problem, and what it took to spend more than a decade building a business that finally reached profitability.Takeaways• Failed businesses can become some of an entrepreneur's most valuable lessons.• The best opportunities often come from identifying a real consumer problem and finding a better way to solve it.• Building a consumer brand can require years of persistence, capital, and operating through uncertainty.• Reaching profitability doesn't mean the challenges are over.• Commodity prices and tariffs can dramatically impact a business even when everything internally is being done right.• Entrepreneurship can put you into survival mode for years and have a lasting impact on how you operate.• Physical challenges can help build the mental resilience needed to navigate difficult periods.Chapters00:00 The Entrepreneurial Mindset & 20+ Bad Ideas01:11 Turning Failures Into Lessons02:04 The Business That Almost Worked03:24 Finding the Right Opportunity04:02 The Origin Story of Busy06:29 Why Cold Brew?08:48 The Bet on At-Home Coffee10:45 From Two Years of Development to 13,000 Locations11:39 Ten Years to Profitability12:27 The Brutal Reality of Scaling14:00 The Annual Fundraising Survival Cycle17:18 Living in Survival Mode20:04 Building Mental Strength Through Physical Challenges23:03 Entrepreneurship Has No Finish Line24:27 The Emergency Raise25:19 Coffee Prices, Brazil & Tariffs27:41 Fighting to Save the Business30:22 The Personal Financial Toll32:41 The Worst Year of Entrepreneurship34:53 When Everything Finally Turns Around35:16 Learning to Celebrate the Small Wins37:05 Competing Against the Giants38:39 The Truth About Coffee Roasts42:53 Why Busy Put Caffeine Front and Center44:09 The Marketing Change That Increased Sales 30%45:27 When the Right Message Changes Everything48:12 The Next Big Product Idea50:58 Building the Next Chapter of Busy57:59 Success, Identity & Entrepreneurship59:06 What Comes After 13 Years?1:00:28 The Double Espresso Shot1:01:10 Relaunching a Product That Failed1:03:18 Finding the Right Price, Pack Size & Placement1:04:17 Why Tiny Tweaks Can Change Everything1:05:39 What Kept Alex Going for 13 Years

Mediums and paranormal investigators Sarah Lemos and Scott Davis join Dave Schrader to reveal the chilling experiences, powerful influences and supernatural encounters that called them into the unknown.

In this special birthday episode, Emily Scott turns the microphone around and interviews Syama Bunten, founder of Wealth Catalyst and host of Getting Rich Together. Syama shares the story behind building a podcast and community rooted in women's capital agency, trust, and the belief that every woman is closer to her greatness than she may realize. She reflects on the milestones so far, including 140 podcast episodes, getting over 2,000 five-stars on Spotify, three Wealth Catalyst Summits, salon rooms across the country, and thousands of introductions between women who needed to know one another. They also talk about what does not show up in the numbers: redefining success beyond a traditional P&L, learning that generosity requires reciprocity, the woman Syama leans on, and why she is no longer interested in convincing anyone that this work matters. This is a conversation about building something without a clear blueprint, standing in your greatness while remaining curious, and listening to the wiser self who says: you are just getting started.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Emily Scott Takes Over as Interviewer for Syama's Birthday 02:41 The Origin Story of Getting Rich Together and Its Launch 07:20 Episode Numbers, Downloads, and Building a Women's Financial Empowerment Community 10:42 Inside Wealth Catalyst, the Summits, and the Freedom Tour Salons 15:48 Who Actually Shows Up in the Room and Why 21:54 Surprises, Resonance, and the Magic of the Salon Tour 29:20 Self-Worth, Identity, And Redefining Success 42:52 The Next Leg, Mini Summits and New Markets 1:05:27 Time Management, Boundaries, and Working Without Burnout 1:10:05 A Heartbreak That Reshaped How Syama Leads 1:14:25 Mentors, Chosen Family, and Leaning on Trusted Women   Find more from Syama Bunten: Your money story may be shaping your financial life more than you realize.

Augustine of Hippo helped the early Church put words around some of Christianity's biggest questions...from evil and human brokenness to grace, salvation, and the restless human heart. As Rome declined, Augustine reminded Christians not to confuse the success of an earthly city with the Kingdom of God...a reminder that challenges us today to examine where we place our identity, hope, security, and ultimate allegiance.

Pastor Ger Jones continues our series in Acts as we look at the birth of the early church and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. As we ask what it means to be the church, we're reminded that the church is a people empowered by the Holy Spirit to live out the mission Jesus has given us. Ger explores what it looks like to depend on the Spirit, live with boldness, and be part of what God is doing in the world.

Inner Childish is what happens when two lifelong best friends hit record on the conversations they've been having since childhood: honest, hilarious, and never surface-level. Through their 25 years of friendship, Vic & Aubs have evolved a hundred times and somehow never outgrew the need to debrief every single thing together. Inner Childish is part sleepover conversation, part therapy session, and part voice memo you were never supposed to hear. Up first: why they started the show, how they landed on the name, and what to expect every Tuesday. You'll get the origin story of their 25 year friendship (yes, they were childhood neighbors born three days apart) and you'll really get to know your hosts through a Mad Libs roast covering who would thrive and who maybe wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse, toxic traits, villain origin stories, and the things only a best friend would know. Vic and Aubrey also preview two new segments: Star 67, an anonymous call-in line where you can tell them anything, and Something Beautiful, a weekly reminder to notice one good thing in your day.

Jeff Malec sits down with Josh Blanchfield of Avos to trace his path from physics at Harvard, poker pro, and 11 years at Bridgewater (including co-heading the trading desk during Lehman) to running a concentrated, risk-aware commodities and macro shop. Josh explains why China is “ground zero” for global commodities, detailing how its import cuts, stockpiling, and scrap policies have shaped oil, copper, gold, and uranium, and why understanding flows and participant behavior matters more than neat top-down supply-demand models. He breaks down how Avos blends macro with very granular micro, like Chinese spec flows around Lunar New Year, refinery outages, crack spreads, and uranium's inelastic buyers, to build convex, options-heavy trades that aim to capture upside tails while avoiding the classic commodity-fund blowup. Along the way, they dig into the realities of radical transparency at Bridgewater, the limits and promise of AI as a “research team we never hired,” the risks of an AI-driven labor shock, the true drivers of the dollar's dominance and petrodollar fears, why he's skeptical on small modular reactors but bullish nuclear, and how his Substack and broader investment philosophy challenge received wisdom on everything from munis to equity valuations. - SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-01:19= Intro01:20-09:01= From Boulder Trails to China's Oil Trap: Josh's Origin Story and DB Cooper Commodities09:02-19:27=China's Dollar Dilemma, Gold Grab, and the Real Story Behind Commodity Power19:28–30:36 = From Poker Tables to Lehman's Collapse: Josh's Bridgewater Baptism by Fire30:37–37:57 = AI, Jobs, and Impossible Growth: Rethinking the Macro Behind the Magnificent Seven38:38–49:04 = Gold Flows, Burning Refineries, and the Uranium Edge49:05–56:26 = Capacity, Convexity, and Why Small Nuclear Isn't So Small56:27–01:09:15 = Munis, Myths, and Moneyball: Josh's Skeptical Playbook and Pop-Culture LensFrom the Episode:PODCAST:“Dr. Copper”: From Chilean Mines to Chinese Smelters to AI Data Centers in the US – with Kurt Nelson & Natalie Scott-GrayPODCAST:Going Nuclear: How Uranium is Powering Portfolios with Trevor Hall & Justin HuhnPODCAST:OpenSnow's Joel Gratz built a Pod Shop for Powder Days: the PMs are Meteorologists and the Returns are FaceshotsBLOG:The Definitive List of the Best Investing MoviesFollow along with Josh and Avos ⁠on LinkedIn and Substack, and be sure to check out avos.co to learn more about what they are up to.Don't forget to subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Derivative⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, follow us on Twitter at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rcmAlts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign-up for our blog digest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

Where did recommender systems come from, and how do we know when they're actually working? In part one of Data Skeptic's three-part Recommender Systems finale, Kyle traces the field from collaborative filtering and the Netflix Prize to matrix factorization and modern approaches, while exploring why accuracy alone can't capture what makes a recommendation useful, surprising, or meaningful.

In Episode 312 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Rob Beller and David Prejeant sit down with David Wald, President and Co-Founder of Aclaimant, for an in-depth conversation about risk management, RMIS technology, AI, and the future of RiskTech.  David explains how Aclaimant is helping organizations centralize risk data, manage workers' compensation and claims, improve safety, and uncover insights that help businesses become more proactive rather than reactive. The conversation explores the evolving role of risk managers, the growing importance of predictive analytics, and how AI is helping risk teams move faster and make better decisions in an increasingly complex business environment.  David also shares the founder story behind Aclaimant, his journey into InsureTech through the venture capital world, and why risk management is becoming an increasingly important strategic function for organizations of all sizes.  Key Highlights [06:00] What Is Aclaimant? David introduces Aclaimant and explains how the company helps organizations manage claims, safety, compliance, exposures, assets, and risk through a modern RMIS platform. [08:00] Why Risk Management Matters An overview of how risk management evolves as organizations scale and why businesses eventually need dedicated tools and teams to manage growing exposures and costs.  [10:00] Turning Risk Data Into Action David explains how risk managers use data to understand exposures, monitor incidents, identify trends, and create safer business environments.  [13:00] Finding Problems Before They Grow How technology helps organizations identify patterns, uncover hidden risks, and address issues before they become larger and more costly problems.  [16:00] AI, Automation, and Speed A look at how Aclaimant is leveraging AI, predictive modeling, and automation to accelerate workflows, improve data quality, and deliver insights faster.  [18:00] Real Customer Wins David shares examples of how better visibility into risk data helped customers uncover costly inefficiencies and improve operational outcomes.  [20:00] Integrations, Data, and Prediction Why RMIS platforms depend on integrating data from multiple systems and how predictive insights help organizations better understand future risk.  [23:00] The Workers' Comp Connection David discusses why workers' compensation remains one of the biggest drivers of risk management complexity and opportunity.  [25:00] The Origin Story of Aclaimant The story behind Aclaimant's founding, from a simple idea to modernize incident reporting to a growing RiskTech platform.  [26:00] From Venture Capital to InsureTech David shares how his experience in venture capital and exposure to early InsureTech innovators like Snapsheet helped shape his path into insurance.  [29:00] Leadership, Growth, and Kathy Burns A discussion about leadership evolution, scaling a company, and the decision to bring industry veteran Kathy Burns into Aclaimant's executive team.  [31:00] AI's Impact on the Business How AI has helped Aclaimant focus on innovation, product development, and improving customer outcomes while creating new operational efficiencies.  [34:00] The Future of Risk Technology David shares his perspective on increasing uncertainty, accelerating change, and why risk management will become even more important in the years ahead.  [40:00] Final Thoughts Rob and David reflect on the evolving role of RiskTech, the importance of RMIS, and why risk management may be one of the most critical functions in modern business. 

In this first episode of a multi-part series, I'm taking you back through the origin story year that forced me to stop building the business I thought made sense and would help people – and finally build the one I *actually* wanted. There was an almost-fatal tooth infection discovered because of a dream (yes, really), internet drama, a moment on my couch that changed everything, and the decision to build Visionaries around one concept: generosity really is the whole strategy.And while that decision worked spectacularly, it did not make everything easy. This episode gives you context for the story behind the seven-figure growth Visionaries has built to – before we get into exactly what worked, what did not, and where all of this is going next in the future episodes in the series.What's Inside This EpisodeThe bizarre series of events that made the first half of 2025 feel less like the beginning of a breakout business year and more like the universe had bad jokes on meThe dream I had that I think saved my life?!The business I *thought* I was building before Visionaries took over – and why being genuinely good at something turned out not to be a compelling enough reason to keep doing itThe thing that became the easiest decisions operationally for me, even though it is objectively the most complicated thing inside the companyWhat happened when I changed my community membership model structure (spoiler: it was a hot mess)How selling community has been dramatically harder than selling education for me, despite having decades of experience selling expertise, strategy, and transformationMy road-trip realization that convinced me to eliminate an entire layer of the business even though it was quite profitableThe initiative I launched while privately wondering whether I was being a little bit ridiculous to even do it – that become one of the most rewarding things I've doneWhat years of reviewing grant applications taught me about the quiet credibility signal that can make someone's accomplishments land differently on paperThe Visionaries initiative that has been by far the hardest, messiest, most stressful thing to build – and why none of that has made me want to stop doing itConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coJoin the community!

Despite completing nearly 700 value-add properties, he openly admits he has never liked the work of real estate—he simply built systems, processes, and teams so he doesn't have to do it himself. A straight-talking operator focused on financial freedom and education, Tarl also helps raise millions for veteran charities through his events.TIMESTAMPS0:40 - Welcome to the Mailbox Money Show1:20 - How Events Transformed Nate's Career & Network2:36 - Origin Story of Limitless Expo3:43 - Why Host a Nearly $2M Event Despite the Pain5:21 - Creating Events You Actually Want to Attend7:22 - Best Way to Leverage High-Level Events9:05 - What NOT to Do When Approaching High-Value People13:56 - Why Limitless Exists: Education Over Selling16:14 - Raising Millions for Charity Through Limitless17:39 - “I Hate Real Estate” – Building an Empire Anyway18:46 - Building Systems So You Don't Have to Do the Work20:36 - Limits of True Passivity in Value-Add Real Estate22:42 - Private Lending & Investing in Operators24:32 - 1031 Strategies for More Passive Assets26:51 - Critical Tips for Successful Out-of-State Investing30:15 - Nate's Takeaway: Success Despite Hating the Work30:52 - Bronson's Takeaway: Systems, “Who Not How,” and Buying Back Time31:43 - Episode Wrap-Up & ClosingCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://www.tarlyarber.com/Instagram: @tarlyarberLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarl-yarber-7584a847/#MailboxMoney#RealEstateInvesting#LimitlessExpo#PassiveIncome#EventNetworking
