Podcasts about outliers

In this episode, Jason Leydon and Ryan discuss the extremes of endurance, the importance of program design, and the pitfalls of relying on templated programs in gyms. They explore how outliers in sports demonstrate extraordinary mental toughness and how gym owners can improve their programming and coaching strategies.   Key Topics Extreme endurance feats and their lessons for training The importance of personalized program design The role of mental toughness and resilience in sports Pitfalls of relying on cookie-cutter gym programs Strategies for gym owners to improve member retention and performance Takeaways Extreme endurance athletes demonstrate extraordinary mental toughness and strategic effort management. Template programs often fail to account for individual community needs and can hinder long-term progress. Gym owners should program for their specific demographic and community culture. Investing in coaching and program design education is crucial for sustainable gym success. Sound Bites "391 miles running the same 4.1 mile loop, 94 hours straight." "No sleep, that level of grip is insane to me." "Template programming is a slap in the face to the members."

Chris Judd is one of the most decorated players in AFL history, but his second chapter is proving to be equally as compelling as his first. In this conversation, Chris discusses his transition from elite sport to the world of finance and investing, and the attributes and lessons he has carried across both careers. From the discipline required to think differently and stay calm under pressure, to why great leaders are the most important factor when investing in a business, you’ll hear the mindset behind Chris’s approach to success. He also shares how he got his start in finance, tracking all the way back to the beginning of his AFL career, and a conscious decision to avoid media commentary of his performance. You’ll also hear about the importance of financial literacy, AI and the future of work, family, leadership, and why knowing yourself is the most important skill of all. … Aleda Connect was created to provide unique collaborative opportunities for leaders at the top of their fields. We connect a small but diverse group of successful leaders who understand the challenges of high-level leadership. With them, they bring their willingness to share, learn and grow.

Are Democrats riding a real political wave—or just enjoying a summer polling sugar high? Chris and Sean revisit Nate Silver's FLIPR election model and his latest analysis of an argument first advanced by Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini: summer polling has consistently overstated Democratic performance in recent election cycles. Ruffini found that Democratic polling bias peaked at nearly six points during the summer before narrowing considerably by Election Day. Silver isn't declaring that history will repeat itself, but he is taking the possibility seriously. (Nate Silver⁠, Patrick Ruffini⁠) That leads directly to Arizona, where a new Noble Predictive Insights poll—run by Mike Noble, no relation to Sean—shows Gov. Katie Hobbs leading Republican Andy Biggs by 13 points, 48% to 35%, with 12% undecided. Chris and Sean explain why they view that result as an outlier rather than the race's true position. Other recent polling has shown a closer contest, although Hobbs currently holds a clear advantage. (Noble Predictive Insights⁠) What do these polls actually tell us? How much faith should we put in August numbers? And what happens once campaigns begin spending real money, defining their opponents and grinding through the final stretch? If you want to better understand polling, election models and the day-to-day realities of political campaigns, this episode is for you. You might even learn something.

What separates an exceptional executive from an outlier founder? For Sequoia Capital partner Bogomil Balkansky, learning the difference required recalibrating his own definition of talent. In this episode of Technoventure, Peter High speaks with Balkansky about how Sequoia evaluates founders when there is little data to rely on, why intuition matters in early-stage investing, and what his experiences at VMware and Bebop taught him about building enduring companies. They also explore the evolution of Wiz, AI's impact on cybersecurity, and why the companies that define a technology era may not be the ones that first blaze the trail. You'll hear: What makes a founder an “outlier” Why great employees do not always become great founders How Balkansky approaches high-stakes, one-way-door decisions Why startups should earn the right to become platforms How AI could create a new generation of cybersecurity champions Listen to the full conversation for an investor-operator perspective on founders, markets, risk, and building through disruption.

What separates the best from the rest? In any profession, you have your elite performers… the top 5%... who seem to naturally differentiate themselves from everyone else. The question then becomes, “What makes them special?” I got the answer from Rockstar sports psychologist Gio Valiente, and last week, I shared it with the thousands of agents at my annual Success Summit. Today's Tom Ferry Podcast Experience delivers an excerpt from that session, exploring five traits common to those extraordinary individuals. In it, you'll learn: The reason why most people underperform compared to their potential Beyond talent and work ethic, why it's critical to own your unique perspective How elite performers turn best practices into habits and repeatable processes Why letting go of the “control freak” mentality is crucial to your success, and more!   Here's the harsh truth – all of us are capable of so much more than we actually achieve.

Wasim Osman: The Scrum Master as a Router, Redefining Success Through Efficient Communication Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "A big part of the Scrum Master role is to work as a router—handling a lot of conversations with a lot of different devices, even though the internet is coming in through one cable." - Wasim Osman   For Wasim, success as a Scrum Master looks like a router in a house: many conversations, many stakeholders, all flowing through one point that has to prioritize, schedule, and stay on time. If the router slows down, everything downstream stalls—and the Scrum Master becomes the blocker. Early in his career he was overwhelmed juggling three or four engineering teams, so he built himself a personal Kanban board and ran his own quick standup every morning and again at the end of the day, just to see what moved, what stalled, and why. Getting organized with himself is when the work started to feel satisfying, because he stopped being the bottleneck. But he's honest about the hardest part: people rarely tell you to your face when you're slowing them down. The feedback is already there—you're just not hearing it. So you have to ask for it, react well when you get it (or people stop offering), and sometimes name the awkward truth first: "Our meetings used to be better—what happened?" That opening gives everyone permission to be honest.   Self-reflection Question: If you're the "router" for your teams, where are you quietly becoming the bottleneck—and who would tell you if you were? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: What Went Well / What Went Wrong / Outliers + Open Discussion Wasim's go-to retrospective is deliberately bare-bones: what went well, what went wrong, and—the part that makes it his own—what were the outliers, followed by open discussion. He added the "outliers" question years ago after noticing that team members kept raising points that weren't clearly good or bad, but were still significant enough to discuss. Outliers give people "a bucket for sharing information that has no polarity"—an early signal about the future, a quiet concern, something that doesn't fit the other two columns but matters. He sometimes pairs it with lightweight metrics: sprint completion rate, or tickets that sat too long in review or QA, surfacing patterns the team wouldn't otherwise notice.   Self-reflection Question: What "outlier" signal has your team been sitting on—neither a win nor a problem yet—that deserves an open conversation before it becomes one?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The votes are in, the jury's got its favorite and the same for the public: it's time to see who reigns supreme as we sort through the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest through the eighties and nineties.

O que a inteligência artificial faz melhor na gestão de investimentos – e quais características dos humanos se tornaram ainda mais importantes agora?Para entender o papel da IA na tomada de decisões, Clara Sodré, analista de fundos da XP, aproveitou a Expert XP 2026 para entrevistar Alexandre Muller, CIO da Leto Capital. “Se você gosta de ter acesso a conteúdos, de trocar uma ideia, de testar uma hipótese, a ferramenta é brilhante. Vai te acelerar como pessoa, como profissional”, afirma. “Agora, se você não tem paciência de ler um livro e começa a terceirizar tudo, a inteligência artificial vai potencializar uma tendência negativa sua.”Prepare seu café e acompanhe um episódio cheio de insights práticos!

A brochure anyone can read out loud is not a sales asset, it is a crutch. In this episode of Content Amplified, Jason Gwilliam returns to explain why the conversation closes the deal and content exists to back it up. Jason walks through the "scrub sink story," the 30 seconds outside an operating room where a rep has to land three points and then leave something behind. He explains the difference between a rep who is comfortable and a rep who is ready, why he sends people back out the door if they cannot answer the how, the why, and the what from Simon Sinek's Start with Why, and how the 10,000 hour rule from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers shows up in sales the same way it shows up in film study and rehearsal. He also gets specific about AI as game film: what he learned running video coaching back in 2018, how to program a tool to measure cadence and filler words, and why coaching only works when weakness is not punished. Listen if your team has plenty of collateral and still loses the room.About JasonJason Gwilliam has spent 21 years in the healthcare and medical device space and has been a sales enablement practitioner and architect since 2008. He has sold for large companies including Philips, Abbott, and Siemens, and he makes the point that real enablement in med tech requires carrying a bag yourself so you understand what the field actually faces. He lives in King of Prussia, outside Philadelphia, and writes a notebook series on LinkedIn built around one idea: selling in 2005 is not the same as selling in 2026.

A BRZ Investimentos está se voltando para o crédito imobiliário - e Ricardo Propheta, CEO e sócio-fundador da empresa, explica essa estratégia no Outliers #192. Com apresentação de Clara Sodré e Fabiano Cintra, a edição do Outliers tem como tema o crescimento dos Fundos de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios – os FIDCs – e como esses veículos podem ocupar o vácuo deixado pelo declínio da caderneta de poupança.“A gente vive, e vai continuar vivendo, muita demanda na habitação popular e na habitação de alta renda. Ao mesmo tempo, os instrumentos bancários, baseados em poupança, têm um enfraquecimento estrutural", afirma Propheta. “Nisso, o mercado de capitais entra. Ele vai ter um papel cada vez mais relevante para financiamento de real estate no Brasil”.Com mais de R$ 4,1 bilhões em ativos sob gestão - 60% deles em crédito privado -, a BRZ lançou seu primeiro fundo estruturado em 2007. Com essa experiência, Propheta avalia que os FIDCs têm muito espaço para crescer. “A gente está passando por uma mudança estrutural que não deve terminar tão cedo”, afirma.Acompanhe o bate-papo e entenda como diversificar os investimentos._________________________INFOMORNING | A newsletter com tudo o que você precisa para começar o diaReceba informações, análises e recomendações que valem dinheiro diretamente no seu e-mail: https://www.infomoney.com.br/newsletters/

The Fed left rates unchanged. Why is the central bank under pressure? June's inflation report bought the Fed time. How long did it buy them? Finally, big tech reported earnings this week. What was the overriding theme?

"If you're expecting to pay $50k, but it hits an outlier clause, you could be paying upwards of three, four, five, six hundred thousand dollars."What if the single biggest driver of your high-cost claims isn't your discount, your network, or your utilization, but a contract provision almost nobody in this industry has ever read?My guest this week is Ryan Bojrab, who leads new solution development at Aon and came into this business through a channel almost nobody uses: he started his career as a clinician with a doctorate in physical therapy, treating patients inside a federally qualified health center. When carriers started dictating how many visits he could give a patient, he began pulling the thread, and hasn't stopped since.Ryan and I spend this episode discussing the outlier clause: the provision buried in hospital-carrier contracts that flips your negotiated discount once billed charges cross a threshold. Expecting a 50% discount on an open heart surgery? Once the trigger hits, you may be paying 70% of billed charges on the entire episode of care, and watching a $50,000 claim become a $500,000 one. Ryan calls it the casino's high roller table, and it's where hospitals make their money.

He skipped college. He got his real estate license. And he started making phone calls. Year 1: 6 homes. Year 2: 30 homes. Year 3: 75 homes. Year 5: On pace for 100. All before the age of 24. In this episode of Tom Ferry's Outliers series, Anthony unpacks exactly how he did it — the lead sources, the follow up strategy, the CRM obsession, the farming playbook and the mindset that separates outliers from everyone else. Here is what you will learn: - How he started at 18 with no sphere, no experience and no college degree - The Facebook ads strategy that fuels his business — $25 a day, 1-2% conversion - Why new construction was the growth accelerator nobody talks about - The two-text speed to lead system that converts more leads instantly - How to build a follow up strategy that pays off two years later - The geographic farming blueprint that gave him 35% market share in one neighborhood - The biggest mistake he made transitioning from buyer agent to listing agent - What a high volume day actually looks like — and how he manages task switching - How AI will handle 92% of what agents do today — and what that means for you   "The next escrow is always in my CRM." — Anthony Anselmo If you want to know how to sell 100 homes a year without burning out — this episode is your blueprint.  

Στο δεύτερο επεισόδιο της 7ης σεζόν των Outliers, φιλοξενούμε τον Στέφανο Λουκάκο, συνιδρυτή και διευθύνοντα σύμβουλο της Connectly.ai. Έναν άνθρωπο με απίστευτο δυναμισμό και μια σπάνια, μεταδοτική θετικότητα! Μας εξιστορεί την εντυπωσιακή του διαδρομή από το Πολυτεχνείο στην Αθήνα μέχρι τα κορυφαία αμερικανικά πανεπιστήμια Μπέρκλεϊ και Στάνφορντ. Το πιο όμορφο στοιχείο του είναι η στάση ζωής του, είτε σπούδαζε είτε δούλευε σε πόλεις όπως η Νέα Υόρκη και το Παρίσι, ή όταν μετακόμισε με την οικογένειά του στο Δουβλίνο για το Facebook, ο ίδιος τονίζει με γνήσια ζεστασιά ότι παντού «πέρναγε φανταστικά», κρατώντας μόνο τις καλύτερες αναμνήσεις. Με την ίδια ακλόνητη αισιοδοξία αντιμετώπισε κάθε πρόκληση, από τη θητεία του ως γενικός διευθυντής της Google στην Ελλάδα μέχρι τη γέννηση της Connectly.ai, η οποία ξεκίνησε με αρχική χρηματοδότηση 3,5 εκατομμυρίων δολαρίων μέσα σε λίγες ώρες και πλέον έχει φτάσει συνολικά τα 40 εκατομμύρια δολάρια σε επενδύσεις! Ακόμη κι όταν εισέπραξε πολλά «όχι» στην πορεία, επέμεινε, βρήκε τον δρόμο του και σήμερα, εκτιμώντας ότι τα φετινά έσοδα της εταιρείας θα αγγίξουν τα 18 εκατομμύρια δολάρια, και με τη στήριξη της Αλιμπάμπα, οδηγεί την εταιρεία του στην πρώτη γραμμή της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, δημιουργώντας αυτόνομους ψηφιακούς βοηθούς για μεγάλες επιχειρήσεις παγκοσμίως. Στο κλείσιμο της συζήτησης, ο Στέφανος, ο οποίος πλέον έχει επιστρέψει και μένει μόνιμα στην Ελλάδα, μοιράζεται τις σκέψεις του για το μέλλον. Αναλύει το ευρωπαϊκό οικοσύστημα, επισημαίνοντας τις δυσκολίες που προκύπτουν από τον κατακερματισμό του, αλλά και το ελληνικό, τονίζοντας την ανάγκη να υπάρξουν μεγάλες επιχειρηματικές επιτυχίες στη χώρα μας που θα λειτουργήσουν ως σχολείο για το εγχώριο ταλέντο. Μας αποχαιρετά υπενθυμίζοντας ότι η επιτυχία απαιτεί καθημερινή συνέπεια, σαν μια δύσκολη δίαιτα, και ότι το ογδόντα τοις εκατό της είναι απλώς να είσαι εκεί και να διεκδικείς τις ευκαιρίες σου!

Há oito anos, está na M8 Partners – uma gestora de recursos fundada em 2013, que tem mais de R$ 20 bilhões em ativos sob gestão.Rubin encara com naturalidade o crescimento de seu nicho de mercado: o número de gestoras com FIDCs aumentou de 372 para 426 desde o ano passado. “Por que a gente está passando por um momento de crédito? Porque já está vendo há algum tempo a Bolsa andar de lado e os multimercados sem um viés definido, enquanto o crédito oferece taxa DI a 15%, mais spread. Uma rentabilidade excelente”, afirma. “Quando os juros voltarem para oito, se um dia isso acontecer, obviamente que vai mudar”.O crescimento do mercado, no entanto, traz riscos de difícil compreensão para investidores inexperientes. “A gente vê muita gente que nunca trabalhou com isso abrindo FIDCs. Porque acha que é fácil. E o excesso de liquidez para essa indústria acaba mascarando o risco”, afirma Rubin. “Por isso a gente sempre fala para o investidor: não se aventura sozinho, sem entender de crédito e sem entender qual é a ponta final do risco. Na hora que faltar liquidez, a gente vai começar a ver onde estão os problemas”.Acompanhe o bate-papo e entenda como diversificar os investimentos.

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real products: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Frédéric Guitton, who leads sales and marketing at iTargetGolf after a career across banking, startups, financial services, and investment firms, explains how driving ranges are turning dead space into an interactive, gamified experience. He walks through the company's product line, including the iTarget Night Saber target that connects to Toptracer, Inrange, and Trackman through an API, the in-bay lights that fire when a player hits their target, and the new Cash Cup Golf hole-in-one contest played with RFID balls. Guitton lays out the three levers a driving range has for revenue, why post-COVID golf growth came from entertainment rather than traditional rounds, and how instant feedback keeps a player buying one more bucket. Listeners come away with a working model of physical gamification and a reminder that designing around real human behavior beats asking people to behave better. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways A driving range has only three levers for revenue, according to Frédéric Guitton: sell more balls, sell more food and beverage, or sell the balls for more money. Every engagement decision at iTargetGolf traces back to one of those three. iTargetGolf's first targets were powder-coated metal and looked great, but ball picker staff bumped them and metal does not give, so it bent or broke permanently. The replacement is cut from utility sewer pipe and survives 400 to 500 pounds driving over it. Post-COVID golf growth came from entertainment, not from more rounds on traditional courses. Guitton describes the driving range starting to replace the bowling alley as the family night out, which brings in an audience that never came to practice. The iTarget Night Saber target connects through an API to Toptracer, Inrange, and Trackman ball tracking, so a landed ball triggers an animation within seconds. That instant feedback is Core Drive 2 (Development and Accomplishment) delivered in the physical world. Choosing low voltage over high voltage took permitting out of the install path. A California range that signed in mid-June started its install roughly four weeks later, which turned an infrastructure decision into a sales advantage. Guitton frames the B2B2C tension plainly: the range's success drives iTargetGolf's success, so the company treats itself as a consequence of its customers' results rather than a driver of them.

1 · SummaryPart 1 of 2. Kanwal Singh is the first venture capitalist to appear on First Principles, and the reason is the bet he made with the fund itself. In 2017, at the peak of the tech boom, he walked away from tech investing to raise a fund only for Indian consumer brands, when almost nobody believed India had a consumer story worth venture capital. His first backers weren't institutions, they were the consumer families who had built India's brands. This half covers the whole bet: what investors actually said when he pitched a consumer-only fund, why he raised in India rather than abroad, the ownership and follow-on design he corrected fund after fund, his claim that most of his companies succeed rather than one outlier, and his working map of India 1, 2 and 3.

In Episode 674 of the New Media Show, Podcast Hall of Fame Host Rob Greenlee welcomes Rox Codes, CEO and co-founder of Flightcast.com.  For a deep conversation about video-first podcasting, YouTube growth, AI-powered analytics, creator tools, and where podcast publishing is heading next. Rox Codes has spent years building tools for creators, including YouTube optimization, thumbnail and title creation, A/B testing, and creator growth systems. Flightcast was co-founded with Steven Bartlett of The Diary of a CEO. Rox is building a platform centered on a core shift in the market: serious shows are no longer just audio-first with a bonus video version. Many of the fastest-moving creators now think about YouTube first, then audio, clips, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, newsletters, social platforms, and every other surface where the audience may discover the show. Has video-first podcasting fully arrived, and is it now equal to audio, or is it becoming even more important for growth? Rox explains that Flightcast came from a very different starting point than traditional podcast hosting. Instead of beginning with RSS, downloads, and audio workflow, the platform was built from a YouTube creator mindset.  YouTube has long been the clearest growth platform for creators because it combines publishing, discovery, audience development, monetization, and measurable performance into a single system. Podcasting, by contrast, has often separated those pieces across hosting platforms, apps, ad systems, analytics dashboards, and RSS-based distribution. The episode explores why this matters now. A modern show can become a long-form YouTube episode, an audio podcast, Spotify video, Apple video, short-form clips, newsletter content, social posts, community discussion, and brand inventory. Rox describes podcasts as a powerful format because a single strong two-hour conversation can yield many different media assets across multiple platforms. That creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity. They discuss Apple's HLS video support, Spotify video, YouTube, RSS, 4K video, thumbnails in feeds, Netflix, Roku, FAST channels, Prime Video, and the growing need for creators to publish into more places without needing to understand every technical layer underneath. Rox argues that creators should not have to care about acronyms like HLS, VAST, RSS, or 301 redirects unless the technology directly affects their business. The software should handle the complexity so creators can focus on the show, the audience, and the growth strategy. A major theme of the episode is that video success is not just about uploading an MP4 file. Rox makes a strong case that the real shift is in mindset. On YouTube, titles, thumbnails, intros, pacing, retention, curiosity gaps, promise, progress, payoff, packaging, and audience behavior all matter. Podcasting has historically treated episode art and titles as secondary. YouTube treats them as the front door to the content. Rob and Rox spend significant time on thumbnails and titles, including why creators need to understand the psychology behind a click without reducing the work to empty clickbait. Rox explains that a thumbnail should create a question the viewer wants answered, while the episode itself must deliver enough value to earn attention and retention. The best creators do not copy blindly. They study what works, understand why it works, and apply that structure in their own voice, to their audience, and through their creative point of view. The conversation also moves into AI. Rox does not describe Flightcast as an AI-first platform, but AI is an important layer inside the system. He sees major value in AI analytics, back-catalog analysis, clip testing, title suggestions, descriptions, chapters, transcripts, and pattern recognition. His larger ambition is to bake more of the YouTube strategist and producer mindset directly into the software so creators can see what is working, what is not working, and where new growth opportunities may exist. Rob and Rox also discuss monetization. As video moves deeper into podcast platforms, host-read ads, dynamic ad insertion, video ad formats, brand partnerships, affiliate models, and creator-controlled advertising may begin to converge. Rox explains Flightcast's ability to support programmatic, dynamic sponsorships and bring-your-own-programmatic monetization, while keeping the platform focused on growth and creator support rather than solely on ad sales. The episode closes with a look at the future of podcast hosting itself. Rox argues that basic hosting has become a commodity. The next layer is growth, analytics, experimentation, distribution, monetization support, and creator intelligence. In a world where AI can make software easier to build and copy, the real advantage may come from insight, speed, taste, data interpretation, and the ability to help serious creators make better decisions faster. For creators, publishers, networks, and podcast platforms, Episode 674 is a clear look at the next stage of podcasting: video-first, data-aware, AI-supported, YouTube-influenced, and increasingly built around shows that can travel everywhere.

For decades, catastrophe modelling has largely been about choosing the best view of risk. But what happens when no single model can capture the full picture?  In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks with Rob Newbold, President of Catastrophe and Risk Solutions at Verisk, about why the future of catastrophe modelling is becoming more open, collaborative and accessible.  Rob explains the thinking behind Verisk's new Model Exchange platform and why enabling insurers to access third-party models alongside Verisk's own is less about changing strategy and more about continuing a long-standing commitment to giving clients greater choice. The conversation explores how broader access to catastrophe and cyber models could help organisations build a more complete understanding of risk while making advanced analytics available to a much wider audience.  They also discuss why the global protection gap remains stubbornly difficult to close, why parametric insurance has not yet delivered on many of its early promises and where new modelling capability is still urgently needed, from flood to wildfire.  Looking ahead, Rob shares his perspective on how agentic AI could fundamentally change catastrophe modelling workflows, allowing insurers to automate scenario analysis, respond more quickly to emerging events and make sophisticated risk analytics available without requiring specialist modelling expertise.  In this episode you'll learn:  Why Verisk has opened its platform to third-party catastrophe and cyber models  How Model Exchange helps insurers build a more comprehensive view of global risk  Why collaboration between model providers could strengthen resilience across the industry  Where the biggest gaps remain in catastrophe modelling, including flood and emerging risks  Why the protection gap remains a persistent challenge despite better analytics  The reality of parametric insurance and why basis risk continues to limit wider adoption  How cloud platforms and SaaS delivery are making catastrophe models accessible beyond specialist insurance teams  What practical applications of agentic AI could look like for catastrophe modelling over the next 12 months  Why openness, transparency and competition may ultimately improve risk understanding across the market  Rob's recommendations:  Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell  Smart Brevity by Roy Schwartz, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei  If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.  Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

Στο πρώτο επεισόδιο της 7ης σεζόν των Outliers, ακολουθούμε την διαδρομή του Παναγιώτη Στραβοπόδη Co-Founder της ELYOS AI. Γεννημένος και μεγαλωμένος στη Ζάκυνθο, ήρθε από νωρίς σε επαφή με την τεχνολογία μέσω του πατέρα του. Ξεκίνησε να πειραματίζεται με υπολογιστές και να γράφει τον πρώτο του κώδικα σε μικρή ηλικία, ανακαλύπτοντας σταδιακά την κλίση του. Σπούδασε στο Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών ως Μηχανικός Ηλεκτρονικών Υπολογιστών και Πληροφορικής. Κατά τη διάρκεια των σπουδών του, ανέπτυξε ένα σύστημα online κρατήσεων για ένα boutique hotel, αποκτώντας την πρώτη του επαγγελματική εμπειρία και θέτοντας τις βάσεις για την πορεία του στο software engineering. Στη συνέχεια, ακολούθησε συνειδητά τον χώρο των startups, συμμετέχοντας σε διαφορετικές ομάδες και projects. Μέσα από αυτή τη διαδρομή, κατέληξε ότι ο μόνος τρόπος να έχει ουσιαστικό έλεγχο στο πρόβλημα που λύνει είναι μέσα από τη δημιουργία της δικής του εταιρείας. Έτσι ιδρύθηκε η ELYOS AI, με αρχικό στόχο την ανάπτυξη agents για τη βελτιστοποίηση της ενεργειακής απόδοσης σε εμπορικά και βιομηχανικά κτίρια. Ωστόσο, η εμπειρία στο Y Combinator αποτέλεσε σημείο καμπής. Εκεί, οι συνιδρυτές συνειδητοποίησαν ότι, για να μπορέσουν να εξελιχθούν, έπρεπε να αλλάξουν κατεύθυνση. Η στρατηγική αυτή αλλαγή υλοποιήθηκε το 2024 και οδήγησε στις πρώτες ουσιαστικές επιτυχίες, με την εταιρεία να καταγράφει ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης της τάξης του 30% σε μηνιαία βάση. Σήμερα, η ELYOS AI προσφέρει λύσεις που αποδεικνύουν έμπρακτα την αξία τους στους πελάτες της, ενώ πρόσφατα ολοκλήρωσε έναν σημαντικό γύρο χρηματοδότησης ύψους 13 εκατομμυρίων. Στόχος της εταιρείας είναι η περαιτέρω γεωγραφική επέκταση, καθώς και η ενίσχυση της ομάδας της, από 17 σε 32 άτομα μέχρι το τέλος του έτους, με έμφαση και στην ανάπτυξη engineering ταλέντου, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Ελλάδας. Μια ιστορία που αναδεικνύει τη σημασία της περιέργειας, της προσαρμοστικότητας και της ικανότητας να αναγνωρίζεις πότε χρειάζεται να αλλάξεις κατεύθυνση, προκειμένου να προχωρήσεις ουσιαστικά μπροστά.

Segundo ele, o segmento de infraestrutura cresceu mais de 1,5 bilhão em captação apenas em 2024.Para Walter, a infraestrutura digital pode levar o Brasil ao maior ciclo de investimentos da história. Por um lado, o país tem energia disponível e renovável - o maior gargalo na expansão das empresas de IA. Por outro, o governo não terá recursos para bancar os investimentos necessários. “Você tem uma oportunidade secular para fundos de infraestrutura, porque o setor privado vai ter que arcar com isso tudo”, afirma.Ao apoiar a expansão da infraestrutura digital, afirma Walter, o investidor encontra uma forma mais barata e segura de capturar o crescimento do setor de inteligência artificial. “Você não sabe qual carro vai ganhar a corrida, mas você pode apostar na pista”, diz.Acompanhe o bate-papo e entenda como diversificar os investimentos.Leia o relatório "Mapeando a inteligência artificial no Brasil", da Expert XP - https://conteudos.xpi.com.br/estrategia-acoes/mapeando-a-inteligencia-artificial-no-brasil-uma-analise-do-cenario-de-ia-e-seus-impactos-sobre-o-brasil/

Episode 18, “Okist,” drags listener and unofficial Rimfire Radio father figure Okist into the circus, mainly because he is old as shit and Gat-Lab apparently got lost on the way to the internet. We hit Rimfire Challenge Nationals, the FarrowTech FT-M Kit for the KelTec P17, scope recommendations for a Ruger 77/17 in .17 HMR, and enough half-baked rimfire projects to make a financial advisor start drinking. Dusky beats on his Charger and starts lusting after precision bolt guns, Dan fondles an Ithaca M49 and other .22 oddities, and ARDREW rambles about Ruger Mk3s, VSS-22s, Vortex glass, Outlier cans, and polymer ARs. It is rimfire talk, centerfire detours, absentee co-host slander, and the kind of deeply unserious behavior that keeps our mothers disappointed.

Richard Rosso & Jon Penn connect some of the biggest investing stories with the realities of retirement planning. From Elon Musk, SpaceX, and Social Security to Black Swan events and retirement planning, today's discussion explores how investors get drawn into powerful stories, confirmation bias, and headline-driven decisions. We examine why SpaceX is a unique market outlier, the importance of price discovery, and how unexpected events can have a greater impact on portfolios than most investors anticipate. We also cover retirement spending, liquidity, insurance, Warren Buffett's gifting strategy, AI's impact on inflation, and why every retirement plan should prepare for both opportunity and risk. Plus, a preview of our upcoming "Aging in Place Guide" and a teaser for Candid Coffee.

Tom Ferry's Outliers series is back — this week with an agent who went from selling knives in college to selling 200 homes a year before his mid-twenties.   At just 25, Caleb Monroe is on track to close 200 homes this year. He started in 2020 as a community college student, and his transaction count tells the story: 12, then 52, then 85, then 120, then 135 — and a projected 200 in year five. Then he doubled his business by doing the opposite of what most growing agents do. He cut his headcount.   If you're working harder every year and watching your income flatline anyway… this episode names exactly why.   In this episode, you'll learn: The 92% Rule: Why the vast majority of your workday is administrative noise — and how Caleb guards the 8% that actually generates income. Strategic Fat-Trimming: The counterintuitive move that doubled Caleb's business by shrinking his team instead of growing it. The Compound Shift: The time-blocking change that turned Caleb's daily schedule into long-term momentum. Yacht vs. Pirate: The mental reframe that pulls the "sleazy salesperson" feeling out of lead gen — and turns you into the person clients are relieved to find. The One-to-Many Ratio: How Caleb is moving away from one-off retail deals toward bulk opportunities with developers and hedge funds. The $10,000 Bet: The audacious wager Caleb made with Tom Ferry on his own sales — and what it reveals about how outliers think.   Caleb's run wasn't luck. The structure behind it was built inside Tom Ferry coaching — including the bet that put it all on the line. Ready to stop drowning in the 92% and build a business around the 8% that matters?   Schedule a free call with a Tom Ferry consultant to learn more about coaching and see if it's right for you.

I often talk about SpaceX being an extreme outlier in the industry and how many organizations have tried to replicate their approach, but very few (if any) have been successful. Matt Gjertsen of Built  joins me to share a take on what exactly it is internally that drives their results, how to apply it in other organizations, and to share some perspective on his time at SpaceX leading Training and Development, and from elsewhere in the industry. This episode of Main Engine Cut Off is brought to you by 32 executive producers—Steve, Ryan, Matt from Built, Russell, Joel, David, Kris, Joakim, Fred, Pat, Matt, Theo and Violet, Natasha Tsakos, Donald, Warren, Miles O'Brien, Will and Lars from Agile, Frank, Jan, Tim Dodd (the Everyday Astronaut!), Josh from Impulse, Stealth Julian, Lee, Joonas, The Astrogators at SEE, and four anonymous—and hundreds of supporters.

¿Por qué hay personas con tu mismo talento que llegan muchísimo más lejos que tú? ¿Y por qué hay negocios igual de buenos que el tuyo que despegan... mientras otros se quedan a medias para siempre? En este episodio resumimos Fuera de Serie (Outliers, 2008), de Malcolm Gladwell, uno de los autores de no ficción más leídos del mundo. Y desmontamos juntos el mito más caro que existe: el del hombre, o la mujer, "hecho a sí mismo". Porque Gladwell demuestra, con historia tras historia —los Beatles, Bill Gates, el hockey canadiense, los grandes abogados de Nueva York—, que nadie llega solo. El éxito es una suma de cuatro palancas: talento, trabajo, oportunidad y contexto. Y la buena noticia es que las cuatro las tienes tú en la mano. En este episodio vas a llevarte: ✅ Por qué el mito del "hecho a sí mismo" te está costando dinero ✅ La regla de las 10.000 horas, y por qué es la noticia más empoderadora del libro ✅ El efecto Mateo: cómo conseguir que las ventajas pequeñas trabajen a tu favor ✅ Por qué la oportunidad no se espera, se fabrica — y suele esconderse en el trabajo que otros rechazan ✅ Cómo auditar y reescribir los "guiones invisibles" que frenan tu negocio Tercer episodio del bloque "Mentalidad Imparable". Después de hablar del motor interno con David Goggins y Tim Grover, hoy completamos la foto: tu decisión y tu trabajo son tuyos, sí — pero caen siempre dentro de un contexto. Y entender ese contexto es una ventaja brutal.

Episode #310! This week I sit down with Jennifer Roscoe and Shrishti Vaish, two of the key organizers behind Outlier 2026, the annual data visualization conference hosted by the Data Visualization Society. We talked about what it takes to pull off a fully virtual, global conference, and why going virtual this year was a strategic choice, not a compromise. Jennifer and Shrishti walked me through the conference dates (June 23–26), the brand-new pre-conference data challenge in partnership with the United Nations, and the exciting new feedback and career clinic designed to give attendees a safe space for honest critique and professional growth. We also get into the behind-the-scenes logistics: the 30-person volunteer committee, the technology stack (mostly Google Sheets, if you were wondering), and the delicate art of playing Tetris with 34 talks across a 12-hour global schedule. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a longtime DVS community member, this episode is your guide to making the most of Outlier 2026.Keywords: data visualization, data viz, Outlier conference, Data Visualization Society, DVS, data viz conference, Jennifer Roscoe, Shrishti Vaish, virtual conference, data storytelling, dataviz community, conference planning, career clinic, information is beautiful, data challenge, United Nations data, PolicyViz podcastSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Check out the 2026 Outlier Conference.Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

Welcome back to Tom Ferry's Outliers Series—where we study the disciplines of agents who are doing extraordinary things.   What does it take to go from no clients and no money to leading the top-producing medium-sized team in the country at Real Broker? In this episode, Tom Ferry sits down with Shannon Gillette to unpack her remarkable journey of growth and the leadership principles that fuel her 300+ transaction-a-year business. Shannon shares a candid look at the mistake that cost her a $2 million listing and the specific communication systems she implemented to ensure it never happens again. She also explains why she is abandoning "polished" video trends for a more authentic, "talk to a friend" approach that is already winning her multi-million dollar listings before they even officially launch.   If you are feeling the burnout of being a solo agent, struggling to stay consistent with your content, or looking for a way to stand out in a crowded market, this conversation is your blueprint for the next level.   In this episode, you'll learn: The Communication Reset: How using automated, detailed seller reports can prevent you from getting fired and prove your value every week. The Content Rebrand: Why big captions, speed ramps, and "sales voices" are dying, and what the new era of authentic storytelling looks like. The Culture Code: Why Shannon considers gossiping or complaining a form of "stealing" from the team and how to hire only those who align with your core values. The YouTube Advantage: How to leverage the world's second-largest search engine for listing marketing that attracts buyers who aren't even actively looking. The Reality of Scaling: The first move you must make to transition from a solo agent in a panic to a team leader who actually experiences traditional weekends. Ready to build a business that serves your life instead of consuming it? The most successful agents don't just work harder; they build better systems and surround themselves with the right mentors.
