Guest: Ben Chestnut, Former CEO and Co-Founder of MailchimpIf you find yourself selling your startup, then Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut has some important advice for you: Get a dog. When Intuit bought Mailchimp in 2021 for $12 billion, the company asked Ben if he wanted to stay on as CEO, but he chose to “walk off into the sunset” and let the new owners take over. After that, he estimates it took 6 to 12 months before he stopped checking his email, social media, and calendar with the same level of stress a CEO might have. Adopting a dog, he discovered, forces you to “get OK with the voices in your head."“After the acquisition, that's all I do, I walk the dog,” Ben says. “And the dog was good therapy ... No judgments from a dog.”Chapters:(01:09) - Growing slow (03:06) - The long journey (07:48) - Is money a burden?

SummaryIn this episode of The Bentonville Beacon, host James Bell sits down with return guest Phil Libin, a renowned serial entrepreneur known for his transformative ventures such as Evernote, All Turtles, mmhmm and now, Bentoville. Bentoville is a new concept that promises to revolutionize the dining experience in the Greater Bentonville Area by combining Japan's culinary art with vibrant, local food culture from Northwest Arkansas. Throughout the conversation, Phil shares his insights on entrepreneurship,outlines his journey from the San Francisco tech scene to Northwest Arkansas and delves into the virtuous cycle and connection of quality of life and quality of work, while shedding light on the philosophy behind Bentoville.Thanks for tuning in!Show NotesTimestamps in this blog are for the audio-only version of the podcast; video timing differs.(0:52) Introduction to Phil Libin(3:36) About Bentoville's Co-Founders(5:15) The Inspiration and Vision behind Bentoville(13:11) Bentoville's Approach to Sustainability and Local Sourcing(18:47) Belonging and Co-Creation(21:25) How Phil's Thoughts on Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas Have Evolved(25:58) Phil's #BecauseBentonville Story(32:15) Advice for Entrepreneurs in Goldilocks Cities(36:22) Closing Question‍LinksJames Bell Bentonville Economic DevelopmentGreater Bentonville Area Chamber of CommercePhil LibinBentovilleQuotes“There's a business hypothesis behind [Bentoville]...And it's the theme that we were calling the Goldilocks cities. And what it means is over the next decade or so, more and more people will have the opportunity to choose where they want to live and where they want to work and not have those two decisions to be completely tied to each other…And a lot of those people are going to choose places that are optimizing for quality of life.” - Phil Libin, (6:39)“We want people to think that you don't have to give up anything. We don't have to give up much because the perception in the past is…we get a slightly better quality of life, but we're probably giving up some food and some culture and other things. And we're saying, no, all of it can be better. Obviously, everything has some trade offs, but you don't have to make any of those big sacrifices to go to a place that's meant to be a great place to live.” - Phil Libin, (9:54)“Bentoville is Japan style food, meaning it's authentic Japanese food, but the important thing is not that it's ingredients from Japan or even strict dishes, we're not trying to make an American's idea of a Japanese restaurant, we're trying to make a cool restaurant in Japan.” - Phil Libin, (13:31)“One of my board members said this quote that really stuck with me. She said, ‘What's the difference between belonging to something and just being invited?' And she said you can only belong to something that you help create, so if you want to have a feeling of belonging, you have to help create it. You can't belong to something that you were a passive participant in…And so we're really reaching out to the community, to people and to businesses because we want to be in that co-creation process.” - Phil Libin, (19:04)“Everyone shows up [to Bentonville] without much expectation, and then everyone leaves blown away by how cool it is and how liveable it's been.” - Phil Libin, (23:05)

Ankith Hathari | Co-Founder - Macro Adding Identity and Expression to Zoom Zoom fatigue is never going to be solved by making meetings more 'productive'. Automatic transcriptions, notes, and integrations don't address the core issues of why virtual meetings drain our energy more than in-person interactions. Interactions in real life had more depth, meaning, and dimension - an expression of who we each individually are. Over Zoom, we've all lost a dimension, quite literally. Communicating within our little 2D box constrains our personality and limits our interactions with others. Macro existed to help you break out of that box. To bring your full self over video. With customization and video-native expression features. In providing its status-quo breaking experience, Macro built the first true 3rd party Zoom client. You could use Macro to join any Zoom meeting, even if everyone else on the call was still on Zoom. It's technology coupled with the company's mission of elevating people's digital expression over video led to it's eventual acquisition by mmhmm - a company by Phil Libin (of Evernote fame) founded to give communication superpowers, backed with over $140M  from Sequoia, Softbank, and more. --

On this epsiode we are honored to host Phil Libin who is a serial entrepreneur. Among the companies he co-founded are Evernote, All Turtles and mmhmm. He is an expert in building great products with hundreds of millions of users. Together we are getting Phil's opinion on building winning products that solve real problems and what it means to being a great product person. Phil also shares his opinion on why being opinionated in the early stages of building a product is far more important than talking to customers.  Tune in and subscribe to the SPEED CHANGE REPEAT Podcast for a weekly episode. 

After graduating from Boston University in Computer Science, our guest worked as a software engineer and architect. He is the founder of numerous companies. Among others, he was Co-Founder and CEO and later Executive Chairman of Evernote from 2007 to 2016. Since 2017, he has been Co-Founder and CEO of the AI studio "All turtles" and, since 2020, also of mmhmm, a software company that is involved in the booming market for video conferencing. A few weeks ago he was a guest at DLD in Munich and spoke with Ina Fried on the topic: "The State of Truth and Trust at Work". We are incredibly grateful and proud that he takes time for us. For more than five and a half years, we have been looking at how work strengthens people - instead of weakening them. In more than 350 conversations, we've talked to over 400 people about what has changed for them and what needs to change further. We are quite sure that it is important right now. Because the idea of "New Work" was developed during a real crisis. We discuss with our guest why it is important to develop new things, especially in difficult economic times. We talk about truth and trust in the workplace and what role machine learning and artificial intelligence will play in the future of work. We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! In addition, from the very beginning we have been concerned with the question of whether all people can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being.

ChatGPT has become the AI that is impossible to ignore. As I wrote in my first post a little more than a year ago, I would be neither a cheerleader nor a detractor, but rather a curious observer. So here we are. My main concern with respect to many technologies is the dilution of our humanity. In response to all the posts I was seeing where people were asking ChatGPT to create content, I wrote on LinkedIn that the value of your voice, even better with your face attached to it, would increase. The more AI-generated content is available, the more you will stand out, not to mention the benefits of a human interaction.Declan Dunn commented:AI is part of the game, and while some will use it instead of writing, most are using it to get a starting point, to brainstorm ideas when they don't have folks.Agree with putting a voice or visual on it, especially short snippets - you have to earn attention today, and while AI can sort of mimic your voice, it can't replace the inflections, passion, and unique humanity your voice delivers...Declan and I had not chatted in quite some time so he DM'd me to propose a conversation on this topic which I thought (correctly) would be fun. This episode is a freestyle exploration of our thoughts about the possibilities - good and bad - for ChatGPT.As he mentioned above, brainstorming and outlining may be great uses of ChatGPT. A quick first look at current thinking around a topic can get the juices flowing. And if the answers aren't satisfying, we will slowly learn to ask better questions, provide better prompts.I also wondered about how future versions will be trained when so much of the information it is trained on was generated by a previous version. Will it know when it's looking at something that was AI generated?In this Wired article, Phil Libin, former CEO of Evernote was said to be enthusiastic about AI in general but shared my concerns:“All of these models are about to s**t all over their own training data,” he says. “We're about to be flooded with a tsunami of b******t.” -Phil LibinListening back to our conversation, Declan mentions some interesting uses for life science researchers in terms of improving both the inputs and the outputs (presentation) of their work. He also raised the question of does an AI understand the audience? As humans, we tailor our message for the audience. Are their hints of the audience in the questions we ask? Maybe, but not always. There is no shortage of opinions on this new tool. I found this podcast from Scott Galloway enlightening:Prof G and the AI Hype CycleAnd in the next episode of Life Science Marketing Radio, I'll talk to David Nathan who used ChatGPT to write a children's book in the carpool lane and generated an illustration through Midjourney a generative AI for images.

I’m going to ask him about mmhmm and also All Turtles, his startup studio. Phil Libin is the co-founder of mmhmm, which lets users make great video presentations.

People spend a lot of time talking about work-life balance, and when you frame it like that, those two things are pulling against each other…It's only fairly recent that those two were seperate things.” - Phil Libin, (7:02)“The companies I've seen here tend to focus on more real problems, and the companies I've seen in the Bay Area and San Francisco tend to chase opportunities more than focus on problems.” - Phil Libin, (21:01)“That'll be the next version of economic development, which is different from what it used to be before because before you had to start thinking about the company first, now you can start thinking about the people.” - Phil Libin, (23:30)“At All Turtles, when we hear a pitch, we internally talk about what is the most likely way for it to fail so we know what to work on first, because we always want to run at the hardest problems first, because that's what's going to kill us.” - Phil Libin, (41:06)

When Phil Libin co-founded Evernote he spent tons of money making the perfect working environment with chic offices, a shuttle bus, and headphones to block out all of his employees' distracting co-workers. He's since seen the work-from-home light and co-founded mmhmm to make working remotely more efficient and even more fun. In this episode, Phil breaks down his pyramid of communication, explains how embracing asynchronous videos changed everything about meetings at mmhmm, and why he will never go to work in the metaverse. If you love live conversations with founders, you'll love TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco from October  18-20.

As employers adjust to a post-pandemic world, how can they design working practices that minimise human risk and maximise human reward? My guest, Phil Libin, is an experienced CEO with some fascinating insights to share on what he calls ‘The Out Of Office World'. He's the former CEO of Evernote and the co-founder and CEO of All Turtles, a product studio that solves what they describe as meaningful problems. I first came across All Turtles when looking for a solution to make video presentations more engaging. In 2020, they launched a product called mmhmm which, in their words — and I'd agree — gives you ‘communication superpowers'. I've been using it ever since. While our discussion begins with mmhmm, it's the story of what the software inspired that I find really interesting. Because when All Turtles began using it internally, they also discovered a more effective way of working. What mmhmm inspired was the recognition that the perception we all have of video as a poor substitute for ‘in person' meetings is wrong. There are certain activities that can be improved by the use of video — particularly asynchronous video — and recognising that ‘face to face' time is so valuable means changing how we use that time. As Phil points out, he's not created a blueprint for how all companies should think about working; it's what works for them. But the ideas behind it are something that can inspire all companies. To find out more about All Turtles, visit — https://www.all-turtles.com/For mmhmm, the app that gives you ‘communication superpowers' - https://www.mmhmm.app/home
The demo that I did of how I use mmhmm is here: https://www.mmhmm.app/blog/christian-hunt-compliance-expertAll Turtles also produces some fascinating videos and podcasts on the Out of Office World. Here's a video that explains the philosophical underpinnings of their approach - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBKIMhGO8WA

When you get right down to it, being a leader is ultimately all about being a decision-maker. Everything from hiring a team to devising a business strategy is built on your ability to make all kinds of decisions. So if you're a leader, and you want to be a better one, you need to learn how to make better decisions.    For Phil Libin, cofounder of Evernote and mmhmm, this process began with introspection - in particular, Phil wanted to understand what a “difficult” decision actually is, and in the process, realised that more often than not, we think a decision is difficult, when it's actually just uncomfortable.    He was surprised to find that 90% of the time, he knows what the right answer is, but what's holding him back is that enacting that decision feels uncomfortable. So, how do you know whether a decision is truly difficult or not, and how do you make the right decision, even when it's uncomfortable?    Connect with Phil on Twitter or Linkedin   You can find the full interview here: Evernote co-founder Phil Libin on the key to making better decisions at work   *** My new book Time Wise is out now.

There's already just a bit too much caffeine buzzing around your brain, and your eyes are half-crossed from the last video call. So how do you recharge and show up refreshed for that next one? If you're Evernote and mmhmm co-founder Phil Libin, you swim laps. Thanks to the “distributed” nature of mmhmm's workforce, he can punctuate his work days with distinctly not-work activities. Some days, it's laps between meetings, other days it's a stroll around one of his favourite museums while he ponders new ideas.Whatever he chooses on any given day, it's only possible because of one of the many superpowers of the internet. Phil is happy to solve a few problems with our new way of working, if it means he gets to keep the many, many benefits of working asynchronously and away from a traditional office in the big city. Phil shares his favourite tips on making the most of remote work (including why he doesn't like the term “remote”) and some of the biggest lessons he learned as the CEO of Evernote.  Connect with Phil on Twitter or Linkedin Visit amanthaimber.com/podcast for full show notes from all episodes.Get in touch at amantha@inventium.com.auIf you are looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a short monthly newsletter that contains three cool things that I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.

Phil Libin is as deeply rooted in the Silicon Valley ethos as you can find. He immigrated to the United States as a child from the Soviet Union and went on to found the once trendy tech word-processing software company Evernote. He took a detour as a venture capitalist at General Catalyst. Now he’s a founder again. He’s the CEO of Mmhmm, a video conferencing company that’s backed by Sequoia Capital, and runs a product studio called All Turtles. Even though he has virtual reality headsets spilling out of his closet at his new home in Bentonville, Arkansas, he thinks the metaverse is “obvious b******t.” “It is a gloss that uncreative people and companies put over — fundamentally a lack of good ideas,” he says. “There’s a part of me that hates it and a part of me that fears it. But since I think it’s so spectacularly stupid, there’s actually not that much to fear.”Tom Dotan, Katie Benner, and I discuss the metaverse and reminisce about the days when people used to throw eggs at tech buses. Libin explains why he was quick to tell his employees that they would never be coming back to the office and tells us how he got it wrong at Evernote by trying to build his life around work.

Timestamps: 1:04 - Dropping out of college 6:53 - Selling a company for $26M at 30 13:00 - Evernote in 2007 38:18 - The out-of-office world 40:40 - Choosing where to live About Phil Libin: Phil Libin is the co-founder and former CEO at Evernote, the world's best known note-taking app. Prior to Evernote, he built Engine5 and CoreStreet. He holds a BA in Computer Science from Boston University, which he began in 1989 and only finished in 2019. He originally dropped out shortly before graduating. Phil did not originally plan to become an entrepreneur, but despite his ambitions of working a steady job for a large company, he just couldn't commit to that sort of life and instead prefered to build companies with his friends. It was only 20 years into this career that it occurred to him entrepreneurship was a valid option. He sold his company Engine5 for $26M in January 2000, right before the dot com bubble burst. Phil was 30 years old at the time. 25% of the money earned by the founders was held in escrow for 2 years — which turned out to be a very good thing, because the remaining 75% they invested into companies which then very quickly went bust. Around 2007, Phil and his team got to thinking about building something like a cognitive prosthesis, a second brain — the note-taking app to conquer all. Their research led them to a California team of scientists working on a very similar product, and they decided to combine the teams. Originally, Evernote was a product intended for journalists and investors. In 2015 Phil Libin stepped down from his CEO role at Evernote (remaining as Chairman until 2016) and moved on to new projects, such as the product studio All Turtles and the video communication company mmhmm.

In this episode of SaaS Connect by Cloud Software Association, Craig Klemp, who was Sr. Director of Global Partnerships at Evernote during the time of recording, and is now VP of Strategy and Partnerships at EZ Texting, shares the lessons learned from international partnerships. Evernote, a productivity tool with 60,000 installs a day, boasts 225 million users worldwide, with 80% of those located outside the US. Their global partnership ecosystem is made up of four layers: Tech/integrations App stores (distribution) OEMs (distribution) Resellers (distribution) In this presentation, Craig highlights partnering with massive Japan-based consumer brand NTT Docomo, which is on the same scale as a merged AT&T and Verizon, with 50% of the Japanese market share. He offers valuable considerations for companies thinking about international partnerships: This kind of partnership can't be managed remotely. Culture has to be taken into account. Evernote's CEO, Phil Libin, initially drove the impetus because he is a “Japanophile”. He loves everything Japanese, and this helped cement executive buy-in from the mega Japanese company. It was all because of trust. Executive buy-in is critical. Here are some examples of how culture impacts business in Japan: We tend to over communicate in the US because of the mix of cultures and the need to be understood: we tell them what we're going to tell them, we tell them, and then we tell them what we told them. However, in Japan, doing that in a business meeting would be like hitting them over the head with an anvil. They read into body language, they read into different things, like what's not spoken, what's left unspoken. It's a really important part of the culture. Business practices matter. For example, if you host a business meeting, as the host, you need to sit closest to the door. Considerations when you think about moving into other countries: What are your local assets? For example, brand equity, team, market fit. And can these assets be leveraged? Localization tools can work to a certain extent. Timely partner support is critical. Offer support in their language and in their time zone. If you're serious, hire resources locally (in your partner's geographical location).

mmhmm, the software that allows folks to personalize their appearance on video chat, has today announced that its introducing usage-based enterprise accounts. In a conversation with TechCrunch, founder and CEO Phil Libin said this is a natural evolution, remarking that mmhmm has had hundreds of registrations from users all at the same company. “It was […]

Box announced today that it has acquired Butter.ai, a startup that helps customers search for content intelligently in the cloud. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Butter.AI team will be joining Box. Butter.AI was started by two ex-Evernote employees, Jack Hirsch and Adam Walz. The company was partly funded by Evernote founder and former CEO Phil Libin's Turtle Studios.

El hondureño Luis Samra es uno de los latinos que tienen gran experiencia en startups de Silicon Valley. Es el primer entrevistado #terco que fue alto ejecutivo de un unicornio. Samra fue responsable para América Latina de Evernote, la aplicación de notas en la nube que fundó (y casi fundió) Phil Libin, uno de los emprendedores más reconocidos y admirados del Valle. Luis y su equipo latinoamericano llevaron a la empresa de 100,000 a 25 millones de usuarios en nuestra región. Después, vino la debacle. Evernote no logró convertir su excelente crecimiento en usuarios en ingresos contantes y sonantes, perdió el foco en su producto principal, y terminó despidiendo cientos de empleados. El propio Libin terminó por irse también de una empresa que había perdido el Norte. “¡Vendíamos calcetines, remeras, botellas de agua!”, recuerda Luis. “…Y descuidando el producto, que era la aplicación”. Hoy, Luis nos cuenta qué pasó exactamente adentro de este unicornio que tenía todo para ganar y hoy apenas sobrevive en un mercado que se le llenó de competidores. Y lo más importante es que nos relata cómo impacta en las personas vivir una historia así desde adentro. “Es como que gasté cinco años de mi vida”, confiesa.
