Guest: Blake Scholl, Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic“Passion and drive trumps knowledge and experience,” says Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl. Long before he was running Boom — which earlier this year successfully tested the world's first privately-developed supersonic jet — he was enabling “the world's most obnoxious spam cannon” at Groupon, or designing a barcode-scanning game for retail shoppers.But eventually, Blake found the courage to be more audacious and do something closer to his lifelong love of aviation. He began educating himself about things he had never thought to learn, and tapping his LinkedIn network to get intros to the smartest people in the industry. “If you imagine yourself on like the day of IPO, 99 percent of what you needed to know to get to that day, you didn't know on day one,” he says. “So, why not take 99 percent to 99.5 percent, and work on the thing you really want to exist, even if you don't know anything about it yet?”Chapters: (01:07) - Blake on Boom's beginnings (01:52) - Breaking the sound barrier (05:23) - Concorde's legacy (09:36) - Navigating regulations (12:08) - Boomless supersonic flight (16:48) - The test flight (20:11) - Day-of nervousness (24:26) - Carrying passengers (26:55) - Cost & wi-fi (30:19) - “No middle seats” (32:35) - Hard tech (36:48) - What if Apple made a plane?

Il tricolore russo venne creato da Pietro il Grande nei primi del '700 ispirandosi ai colori dell'Olanda, paese nel quale aveva vissuto per qualche tempo. Nel corso dell'800 i colori russi divennero anche colori panslavi. Al tricolore, Nicola II unì anche lo stemma imperiale, con l'aquila bicite (retaggio dell'Impero Romano d'oriente), lo stemma di Mosca con San Giorgio che uccide il drago, e gli stemmi degli altri possedimenti dei Romanov.

Il prodigio d'amore infinito dell'incarnazione. Cosa successe in questo mirabile evento. La dose d'amore che Dio infonde in ogni creatura e la felicità che deriva dall'impiegarla e metterla a frutto. I mari infiniti di amore e di felicità contenuti nella Vergine Santissima Regina dell'Amore e della Divina Volontà. Libro di Cielo, Volume 34, 1 Marzo 1936, Martedì 5 Settembre 2023

When we first met today's StartUp Heatlh NOW podcast guest, he was a newly-minted doctorpreneur. After finishing med school Yusuf Sherwani, MD, teamed up with a couple fellow doctors to tackle a massive, pervasive problem they were facing in their clinics: Day after day they were seeing patients struggling with addiction, whether smoking or drinking or opioids. These were people stigmatized by their addictions into fear and inaction or they'd reached out for help and found the options unsuccessful. This group of physicians thought, with today's technology and breakthroughs in addiction management, there has to be a better way. So they built Quit Genius, the world's first virtual clinic for substance use management. They combined the best digital health tools with leading cognitive behavioral therapy and medication assisted treatment. Their solution met a hungry market. Since inception, Dr. Sherwani and his team – who joined StartUp Health in 2020 – have helped more than 750,000 people manage their substance use, and with $77 million raised, they are poised to scale even further. We wanted to sit down with Dr. Sherwani to hear their scale-up vision and also to get the story behind their recent rebrand to Pelago. In this episode, Dr. Sherwani explains the name change – it's derived from the word archipelago – and shares where this growing company is heading next.

Welcome to Episode 1415 in which Marc Millon interviews Federico Giuntini of Fattoria Selvapiana in today's episode of Wine, Food & Travel More about today's guests: Selvapiana was created in the Middle Ages as a watchtower and defense of the city of Florence to the north, along the valley of the river Sieve. Transformed into a villa, during the Renaissance it was the summer residence of noble Florentine families and the bishops of Florence. It was purchased in 1826 by Michele Giuntini, a successful Florentine banker and ancestor of the current owner Francesco Giuntini, who led the company from 1957 to 1997. Having always understood the value of the Chianti Rufina area, with stubborn passion he has lavished great energy in its valorisation. Francesco was among the first in Tuscany to produce wine from Sangiovese grapes alone and to link the company's flagship wine to a specific single vineyard: Bucerchiale. In 1979 he produced the first vintage of Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale. In 1978, he was the first to place his trust in Franco Bernabei, an internationally renowned wine consultant, realizing his great abilities. Today the property is managed by Silvia and Federico, children of Franco Masseti, farmer in Selvapiana from 1953 to 1990. Silvia and Federico were adopted by Francesco in 1994 to give continuity to their work. Selvapiana currently has an extension of about 250 hectares of which 58 hectares of vineyards, 36 hectares of olive groves and 140 of woods. The land owned is spread over three municipalities, Rufina, Pelago and Pontassieve.

Umani Ronchi è la cantina di proprietà della famiglia Bianchi-Bernetti che dal 1957 produce, con cura e artigianalità, vini di grande qualità valorizzando quei vitigni che trovano la loro migliore espressione nelle terre di Marche e Abruzzo: il Verdicchio e il Montepulciano. Ricerca dei migliori terreni, sperimentazione delle più evolute tecniche, caratterizzazione organolettica dei vini rappresentano gli obiettivi principali dell'azienda, anche alla luce di un patrimonio vitivinicolo importante e variegato. Umani Ronchi si è sempre distinta per la valorizzazione dei singoli vigneti, facendo sì che lo stesso vitigno avesse la possibilità di esprimere vini aderenti alla loro origine pedoclimatica. Oggi l'azienda ha una superficie vitata di 210 ettari su tre macro territori: Castelli di Jesi, Conero, Abruzzo. In totale 12 crus con caratteristiche uniche, nel rispetto e nella valorizzazione del terroir e dei vitigni autoctoni. Nel segno della sostenibilità e della sensibilità per l'ambiente, tutti i vigneti sono coltivati in biologico. Un processo di conversione iniziato in Abruzzo nel 2001 con la prima certificazione biologica, e completato con il Verdicchio nella vendemmia 2015. I vini Umani Ronchi ottengono ogni anno riconoscimenti importanti da parte di critici e guide di settore. Celebre il Pelago 1994 vincitore all'International Wine Challenge di Londra e poi inserito tra i 100 vini top del 1998 dalla rivista Wine Enthusiast. Con 2.9 milioni di bottiglie annue e oltre 20 tipologie di vino, Umani Ronchi è presente in più di 60 paesi, con un export pari al 70%. Oggi la direzione è di Michele Bernetti con a fianco il padre e fondatore dell'azienda Massimo Bernetti.

Andrew co-founded Outreach in 2014 and served as VP of Product Strategy. He began his career in design, working for agencies in the Bay Area until 2009 when he moved to Seattle and transitioned to designing product at Pelago. He has since left his role at Outreach and is now working on solving problems in climate change. He is driven by the idea that certain technologies will significantly move our society forward, and that if we can simply dream of the future, we can work our way backward from that dream and find our path forward. He is also a passionate believer in setting exceptionally high bars, and working to find a way to reach them. He holds a BFA from the California College of Design and lives in Seattle with his wife and his adorable (but spoiled) dog Cody. On This Episode: Andrew and Chris go back before the genesis of Outreach and the failed venture that led them there. Learn how to pivot from failure. Andrew explains how to become a successful product owner. Learn common pitfalls when trying to serve your customer base. Key Takeaways Take time to look at the data from your failures. Test really rough ideas as soon as possible to see if there is interest. Know when to pivot. Tweetable Quotes: "You want strong visceral reactions." "Nobody pays for a hammer, they pay for what a hammer gets you."

L'Immacolata Concezione diede a Maria il pelago della felicità per l'abisso di amore di cui fu inondata e per il Fiat in cui fu immersa. Ella vuole dare tale vita e tale felicità a tutti i suoi figli. Divenimmo tali fin dal momento in cui fu concepita, per un prodigio del Volere Divino. La Madonna desidera che gustiamo la pienezza della felicità già da questa terra, non accontentandosi di aiutarci nella grande opera della salvezza. (Volume 34, 1 Marzo, 21 Aprile e 20 Maggio 1936). Meditazioni del sabato, giorno che la Chiesa dedica alla Madonna, tratta dai brani dedicati alla Divina Maria del Libro di Cielo della Serva di Dio Luisa Piccarreta, Sabato 1 Giugno 2019

Jason Crawford How did the journey begin? Jason worked at Amazon, this is when the seeds for Fieldbook started getting planted. It was surprising to him that companies dedicated so much time developing internal tools. Amazon focussed on building a system that helped track their internal recruiting. Years later, Jason joined a startup where he built internal tools for them too which was a data collection workflow tracking system. The problem with spreadsheets is that very quickly you end up using the system for things like project tracking, inventory and CRM, when in reality Spreadsheets are more specifically for those in finance.  Jason worked at Amazon, this is when the seeds for Fieldbook started getting planted.

The problem with spreadsheets is that very quickly you end up using the system for things like project tracking, inventory and CRM, when in reality Spreadsheets are more specifically for those in finance.  What did you learn from startups and what was instrumental to your learning when you were first starting out? Jason always wanted to start his own company, but over the years the motivation changed. Initially he didn’t want to work for anybody else, but as he matured he realised there’s a lot of people he could learn from. For Jason, running a company was the ultimate challenge and as he got more experience, he slowly shifted in the direction of running a startup all without a plan. From companies like Amazon, he learnt a lot about processes and vision. After Amazon, the startup in Seattle called: “Pelago” was a location based social network pre-iPhone. While working at the startup, he wrote software for feature phones like the Motorola Raze.  A lot of lessons from this, this was right around the time the lean startup movement was getting off the ground in 2008, Jason realised the value that Eric Ries was bringing and some of the lessons were really working well for Jason including doing monthly iterations of softwares instead of weekly.  Click Here For: Eric Ries Blog What is Fieldbook? Fieldbook is a simple online database that anyone can use as a spreadsheet. Fieldbook is a better solution for those use cases where you may be logging inventory, project management and using spreadsheets as a CRM. How did you validate the business case for Fieldbook? Validation goal is not something that happens once, it’s an ongoing process. It’s constant testing against users in the market. Before they had a demo or prototype, he went around asking people to show him their spreadsheets. Asked a number of questions that identified what people did with it, problems, what they used it for, etc.  After initial conversations, make a quick demo that shows people the concept that gets better feedback. What are the problems that people need to solve. Get people to try it. Start well before you think the product is ready, but start with your closest friends and family. Show it to people who know you the best and will forgive you how bad it is.  There’s a couple of perspectives on this, Reid Hoffman says that if you’re not embarrassed with the first prototype then you left it too late, others say well if why would you ever try and get feedback on a half baked product, but it’s important to remember both of these arguments are based around “launch time”, there’s really not a particular launch time because you’re constantly getting feedback. Your immediate network will give you your first 100 users. Then you go can go to BETA List which a platform specifically for products in BETA phase. When you have something a little more substantial you can launch your product on Product Hunt. There’s all sorts of ways to get people in, keep trying new things out and keep testing it.  At what point do you stop testing and you get ready for that launch? Look at both qualitative and quantitative metrics. Ask smart questions like: are people sticking with your product? Are people paying for your product? etc. The data you look at depends on your platform. For example, a SaaS platform you look at conversions, paying customers etc. For a social network you look at engagement, virality etc.  Andy Jones: Sustainable Growth = Top of Funnel (getting people on the product) + Magic Moment (when people see value in your product) + Core Product Value (on going value you deliver that keeps people retained). You want to start by proving Core Product Value before Top of Funnel and you’re not great at Magic Moment, because this teaches people what you’re doing will be worth it. Initially you’ll have to hand hold people through the process, at this point it doesn’t matter if things scale or not because you’re just proving core product value.  A lot of Entrepreneurs see the big launches that people are doing and go for big fancy launches but this results in premature launches, which means that people go into a leaky bucket.  How did you find investors? Finding investors is a lot like creating a product. Jason has raised a few early stage funding rounds now. It’s about starting with people you know, put together a pitch and show it to your closest friends and family. When you do this you’ll get great feedback on the opportunity, holes, and areas you need to work. Eventually you’ll be in a place where you’ve asked a lot of people and you’ve filled many of the loop holes that are present.  Then reach out to people in your immediate network, this may be angel investors or people that know angel investors. Ask them if they wouldn’t mind spending some time to review your pitch, if they are happy with it, they will pass it to others in their network or better yet, invest themselves.  Remember, if you can convince angel investors, you can convince larger venture capital companies.  What makes a successful pitch? Cover the basics, you need explain what you do clearly, quickly and concisely. Investors need to be able to tell what you’re doing very fast for them to be interested. Other things you want to consider include: explain the opportunity, explain the market, compare yourself and your alternatives and even compare yourself against those that aren’t competition but alternative solutions.  It’s important to know who your target market is and how they are solving the problem today. There’s always going to be different pitches for different businesses so don’t be too formulaic about it.  Resources:  Sequila capital Pitch Deck Template Fred Wilson AVC — Best Seed Pitch Ever Jason Lemkin Pitching Advice How did you get onto the App Sumo Platform? App Sumo actually approached Fieldbook. The deal they offered was very above board, they ensured that they aligned the incentives and it was scheduled months in advance. App Sumo understands what would be a good deal, and they write the copy once you provide them with screenshots, demo videos etc.  What are some of the pitfalls you would avoid if you had to start the process again? At some points they got distracted and lost sight of the original vision, you often do this as a you’re looking for a silver bullet, and then you realise there’s no silver bullet, there’s no a tonne of lead bullets! Success lies in the ability to do day to day execution, and staying true to the vision. As Jeff Besos says: stay stubborn to the vision and flexible on the details. Make progress and incrementally through daily execution.  How do you continue to get feedback now that the product is launched? Fieldbook built a waitlist and then got people off the waitlist if they agreed to do a user test. This worked better than usertesting.com because had an incentive to do the user test which in turn gave them invaluable feedback.  This is a great opportunity to ask a lot of questions. When users are using your product for the first time sign up, be the silent observer don’t help them because then you’ll understand how a user interacts with your product. There’s a catch 22 between Marketing and Building Product. What do you focus on and when? It’s an iterative process, as you iterate you’re going to capture more people who are going to be your user testers. At one point, nobody was even interested in testing the product and that’s when they realised that they are not pitching an interesting concept, so they needed to change the way they market the product. They iterated their way to a demo video to get people excited and then they built a product around what excited people.  Some people create a landing page like a one page site, but you can always use platforms like Product Hunt and a section called upcoming where you can use it to collect user subscriptions. It’s also important to start with a community, this could be a blog or a Facebook Group.  When people weren’t receiving the product well, how did you know it wasn’t the product but it was the marketing instead? Honestly, it’s about your vision. Some products start from a tech trigger. In the success business, you need a market, a technology that enables the product, price point the market is willing to pay and the right channels to reach the correct people.  You don’t need to start in one place you just need to ensure it comes together in the end It’s like seeing a mountain so far in the distance you don’t know how you’re going to get there, but at the same time it’s so huge that you don’t need to worry about the small details on how you’re going to get there Seeing that mountain in the distance and having the drive is what get you there You talk about everything coming together as a symphony, but how do know which area of the symphony isn’t working? There’s no formulaic approach to this. There can be all sorts of problems that could occur and it can be very difficult to find out where the issue is. You need to work on keep going to a deeper level, i.e. if your ad copy is not working, try change this, if there’s no results go to a deeper level and choose a new channel, see how things progress, if there’s no change here then question the market. Whatever you do, just keep going deeper. What have you seen that is best practice when it comes to creating a SAAS product? Your Marketing is your promise to the users and you win if you deliver on that promise. Just ensure you ask people what they are hoping to get out of the product or service. Success is getting people to that magic moment.  An interesting talk is about Josh Elman is that Twitter actually increased the number of steps it takes to complete your profile but it was successful because it was clearer and more intuitive. Twitter found that more steps actually led to higher conversions, so it’s important to be very clear in the steps when creating a SAAS Platform.  To hear a talk by Josh Elman click here.  Everyone needs to learn different lessons, but the top three takeaways are: Have the closest possible connection to the users Be data driven and be qualitative. Ensure there’s weekly iterations to the products.  Keep the momentum going and have a strong vision. 

We know that funding is critical for the life of a startup, and founders can opt to bootstrap or raise capital from VCs. Many do both as we saw in episode 8 when I interviewed Melody McCloskey.
