What causes relentless belching that can clear a room - even after four rounds of H. pylori treatment? A 55-year-old retired dental hygienist had been treated for H. pylori four times. Two rounds of medical intervention and two different functional medicine practitioners tried to help - without success. The infection kept coming back, along with the belching so severe she could clear a room. The problem? Everyone missed the most important thing: the biofilm. In this episode, Ronda walks you through the exact three-phase protocol that finally worked: Prep & Prime (biofilm disruption + gentle antimicrobials), Target & Eliminate (targeted killing agents), and Gut Remodeling (barrier repair). You'll learn why starting aggressively often backfires, how to track progress using frequency/duration/intensity, and the unexpected supplement reaction that triggered severe anxiety. This case is a masterclass in clinical thinking; knowing when to slow down, when to reassess, and why treating the same infection the same way will always give you the same result. What You'll Learn: Why biofilms protect pathogens from antibiotics and antimicrobials - and how to disrupt them The 4-supplement Prep & Prime protocol Ronda used for 2 weeks before using antimicrobials How to balance aggressive treatment with patient tolerance (and when to pull back) Why one supplement caused dark, ruminating thoughts - and how we figured it out The difference between managing presenting symptoms and addressing root cause Resources Mentioned: Free download: 6 Principles of Clinical Thinking at rondanelson.com/6principles Learn the "how" of functional medicine inside Clinical Academy at rondanelson.com/clinicalacademy Connect with Ronda: Clinical Academy: rondanelson.com/clinicalacademy Free Resource: rondanelson.com/6principles

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, follows up on why ministry is so challenging by laying out four big-picture practices for staying healthy under pressure. He urges leaders to see ministry as real work done among sinful but redeemable people, to refuse cynicism, to respond to rising demands with more Bible, prayer, and rest as they persevere in difficult seasons.

In this heartwarming and insightful episode, I sit down with one of my mentors, Dr. Dicken Bettinger, to explore the liberating wisdom of the 3 Principles. We dive into the common experience of Adhd'ers (and non-Adhd'ers) getting caught up in our thoughts, believing they're real, and how we can gently find our way back to a more peaceful, present state. *Key Takeaways:* - How our thinking creates our experience, and how we often mistake our thoughts for reality - The simple yet profound understanding that we're not our thoughts, and how this realization can set us free - Practical examples of how we've both gotten caught up in thought loops, and how we've learned to recognize and shift out of them - The beauty of realizing we're not alone in this – we all do it, and it's okay.

In politics, we're constantly told that winning is everything.That principles are luxuries.That moral clarity is reckless.That conviction must always bow to strategy.Recently, I was criticized for saying that I care more about fighting for what is right than worrying about the electoral consequences of doing so.This episode is my response.I explain why I believe there must be some standards you refuse to sacrifice just to retain power, why people deserve the government they vote for—even when it leads to chaos—and why I don't measure my success by majorities, poll numbers, or elections.I measure it by whether my God will one day say:“Well done, good and faithful servant.”This is a conversation about power, fear, faith, and what really matters.https://x.com/WalterHudson⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, we sit down with Rikki Broadmore, head coach at Barking Abbey Academy and one of the most respected youth development coaches in the UK. Rikki breaks down how he designs principles of play around personnel, why efficiency metrics matter more than systems, and how Barking Abbey reverse-engineers the modern game to prepare players for college, professional, and international basketball. The conversation offers a deep look into how winning, development, and long-term athlete preparation can coexist when the process is clear.The discussion also dives into practice design, decision-making under constraints, defensive layering, and the importance of environment over drills. Rikki shares how limited practice time can still produce elite outcomes through efficiency, terminology, and intentional repetition. Beyond tactics, the episode highlights coaching identity, imposter syndrome, relationship-building, and why caring for players as people is the true needle-mover in long-term success.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction and background on Rikki Broadmore 03:10 – Developing principles of play based on personnel 06:15 – Trends in European basketball and flow offenses 07:40 – The four key categories Barking Abbey prioritizes 09:45 – Defense driving offense and playing fast 12:10 – Shot selection, ego, and earning freedom 16:00 – Roles, expectations, and allocating minutes 18:00 – Practice design and decision-making development 21:15 – Constraints-led approach in team practice 24:50 – Teaching efficiency with limited practice time 30:00 – Terminology, communication, and coaching efficiency 35:30 – Knowing when to intervene as a coach 39:45 – Relationships as the biggest needle-mover 45:00 – Learning through collaboration and sharing ideas 49:30 – Layering defensive coverages for development 56:45 – Winning vs development and long-term perspective 01:01:30 – Process-driven culture and mindfulnessWebsite Links:Coaching Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resourcesBAM Blueprint Book: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you're a coach looking to improve how you design environments, structure practices, and develop players, make sure to explore our coaching resources and dive into Coleman's new book: The Modern Basketball Blueprint. For more conversations like this one, subscribe to the By Any Means Coaches Podcast and continue learning alongside coaches who care deeply about the craft and the people they serve.

Neri Karra Sillaman, entrepreneurship advisor at the University of Oxford and author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs, discusses why immigrant-founded companies are disproportionately successful and tend to last longer than their counterparts. Drawing on her experience as a former child refugee and on research that began with her PhD, she explains how longevity is built through clear vision, perseverance, community, shared value, and disciplined decision-making. She begins with the formative role of vision. At age eleven, while living in a refugee camp, education became her "north star." That clarity helped her interpret rejection not as failure but as "not yet," a mindset she later observed repeatedly among immigrant entrepreneurs. Clear intent, she argues, allows setbacks to redirect effort rather than extinguish it. The conversation then turns to the principles she identified through interviews with immigrant founders of companies such as Chobani, Duolingo, WhatsApp, and Calendly. These include treating rejection as the beginning of negotiation, building community as a core operating system rather than a marketing tactic, and prioritizing shared value before profit. She emphasizes that many founders focus first on contributing to customers, suppliers, and local communities, with financial results following from that orientation. Sillaman also explains how history and heritage function as assets rather than liabilities. Rather than discarding their past, immigrant entrepreneurs draw on cultural memory and lived experience to shape vision and execution in the present. This integration of past, present, and future becomes central to how long-lived businesses are built. Another recurring theme is luck. She notes that founders consistently describe themselves as "lucky," but defines luck not as chance, but as a capability: being prepared enough to recognize opportunity and willing to act decisively when it appears. The discussion also addresses technology and AI. As tools become more powerful, she argues, human creativity, judgment, and connection become more important, not less. She suggests that imperfections and visible signs of human authorship may increasingly signal authenticity in an automated environment. Throughout the episode, Sillaman challenges dominant models of ego-centered leadership. She contrasts short-lived, personality-driven leadership with approaches that place attention on the work, the community served, and the legacy left behind. Longevity, she concludes, depends not only on how businesses grow, but on how they treat people and define the value they exist to create.

Rachel Maddow shares recent examples of prominent members of the clergy speaking out against Donald Trump's abuse anti-immigrant tactics and his belligerent foreign policy, and talks with Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, about defending immigrant members of his community and Donald Trump's dismantling of the moral role the U.S. plays in the world.Rachel Maddow reports on a growing number of towns and communities that are speaking out and standing up to Department of Homeland Security plans to open ICE detention and processing facilities to take in immigrants being arrested in federal raids. The rejection of ICE facilities fits into a bigger picture of pressure being put on companies and organizations that have become tacit ICE resources, from Avelo Airlines conducting deportation flights, to Home Depot allowing arrests of day laborers in their parking lots.Rachel Maddow shares photos of a giant replica of the naked woman birthday doodle that appears to have been from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday.

Twenty years of restless legs. Two failed attempts. One patient who kept coming back anyway. In this episode, I finally figured out what was missing - and it had nothing to do with magnesium, valerian, or sleep hygiene before bed. This case humbled me. I'd treated her twice before with all the "right" things - minerals, adaptogens, calming herbs, etc., and nothing worked. When she came back a third time, desperate and hardly sleeping, I knew I had to dig deeper. What I found changed how I think about restless leg syndrome entirely. RLS isn't a muscle problem. It's not a simple mineral deficiency. It's a nervous system excitability disorder driven by overlapping dysfunctions: dopamine signaling, brain iron metabolism, inflammation, and liver function. I discovered the smoking gun was a protein called hepcidin which controls iron trafficking in the body. When inflammation is high and the liver is congested, iron gets trapped. The brain starves. Dopamine drops. And the legs can't stop moving. In this episode, I walk you through the research that opened my eyes, the labs that finally made sense, and the Phase One protocol I built from scratch. After just two weeks, she's already seeing improvement - not because I treated her legs, but because I treated the right things in the right order. If you've ever had a case that forced you to start over, this one's for you. Download the 6 Principles of Clinical Thinking Join Clinical Academy

To fully understand your relationship with nutrition and how it impacts your life, we need to go to the core: identity. As someone who has spent 25 years coaching women on training, nutrition, mindset, and every other facet of health and fitness, change doesn't come from rules. It comes from understanding. In this episode, we are going to unpack understanding with identity and share a few examples of various identities that involve nutrition. Remember: understanding is a life long pursuit and doesn't happen overnight but I hope this podcast allows you to see identity for what it truly is.   Time Stamps:   (1:15) Building Our Understanding Around Nutrition (6:45) Nutrition Identity Doesn't Happen Overnight (11:00) "This Is What Works For Me" (15:50) The Foodie Identity (17:35) The Athlete Forever Identity (18:18) The Food Rules Identity (19:02) The Social Eater (20:10) When Identity Drives Automatic Decisions (28:15) Preferences vs Principles (31:15) Systems Are Meant To Evolve ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

Send us a textSo many salon owners spend their time looking sideways instead of forward. They watch what everyone else is doing, copy systems, pricing, commission structures, and branding, and hope that if it worked for someone else, it will magically work for them, too.In this episode, we talk about why copying is one of the most dangerous habits in business. Not because learning from others is wrong, but because blindly copying skips the most important part: understanding your numbers, your values, your clients, and your vision.We break down why templates, playbooks, and “just follow this person” advice often fail, how copying becomes a shortcut for thinking, and why running someone else's business will never build confidence or long-term stability. We also talk about pricing, commission models, culture, AI, education, and why learning principles matter more than memorizing answers.If you want a salon that feels aligned, sustainable, and truly yours, this episode will challenge you to stop copying and start building.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Borrow the principles. Build your own systems.Key TakeawaysCopying is often a shortcut for thinking.Templates don't replace understanding your own business.Blindly following others skips responsibility and learning.Pricing without knowing your numbers is dangerous.Being great technically doesn't mean you're ready to run a business.Borrow principles, not full systems.Culture becomes shallow when it isn't built on your own values.Copying guarantees you'll always be second best.Confidence comes from building something you understand.Small, intentional changes beat massive overhauls.Time Stamps00:00 – Welcome + why people copy 01:00 – Jen's opening take: have the conversation 05:00 – Todd's opening take: AI, tools, and base knowledge 10:00 – Why copying feels safer than deciding 13:00 – Pricing without knowing numbers is dangerous 15:00 – Technician skill ≠ business skill 17:00 – Why copying avoids responsibility 20:00 – Facebook advice vs real problem solving 22:00 – Copying skips learning 25:00 – Dunning-Kruger effect in business 28:00 – Borrow principles, not templates 30:00 – Cooking analogy: recipes vs techniques 32:00 – Discounts don't fix broken systems 35:00 – Copying creates a shallow culture 37:00 – You can only be second best when you copy 39:00 – What to ask instead of “what should I charge?” 42:00 – Build the business you want to work in 44:00 – Small changes > total overhauls 46:00 – Final thoughts: build your own pathLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

In this episode we're joined by Todd Pooser, author of A Systems Approach to Public Administration and Social Equity and founder of The Virtual Commonwealth. Listen in to hear the scientific justification for the foundations of our work to create an equitable and sustainable society. Job seekers may use these frameworks as they evaluate the work and the approach of potential employers. As we aim to solve intractable problems we need more than opinion, we have scientific models, derived from living systems, that can guide us. Todd uses General Systems Theory to answer this big question: What's the elegant solution that solves all of our inextricably entwined problems?To discover the solution we need to recognize our interdependence and interconnectedness. Then we have 2 sets of 3 rules to follow. 3 Rules of Systems-Based EthicsHuman Health and Environmental Health are One and the SameThere is No Such Thing As ThemIt's Bigger than Physical Things. We have non-material needs. 3 Rules of a Systems-Based Social Contract Establish a Physical Steady StateCreate central mandates while preserving the individual's right to chooseReconcile Price and CostWe use a discussion of Congestion Pricing as a policy that reconciles price and cost. Noting that there is a 0% chance of political systems creating the ideal situation, Todd introduces The Virtual Commonwealth which is a model for collective action where individuals form investing and purchasing communities because throwing our financial weight behind our beliefs is as critical as our voting weight is to our democracy.About the Guest:Todd Pooser is the founder and CEO of the Virtual Commonwealth. Todd's book, A Systems Approach to Public Administration and Social Equity, uses cross-disciplinary science to formulate “The Plan” – a series of social policies that if enacted, will enable humanity to live in the best possible world given the conditions of our existence. The Virtual Commonwealth is the commercial application of the concepts advanced in the book, which has been published by Emerald Publishing as part of a series on sustainability and social equity. As COO of an Ad Tech startup, Todd has raised $9M from both public companies and high net worth individuals.

This is stand alone content by Chris. Something I am doing on youtube, and decided to put them together here for you as well. Instead of  daily drops like I do there. I am putting it here in quarters. This episode series breaks down the first four principles of Miyamoto Musashi's Dokkōdō and translates them into practical guidance for modern men seeking self mastery, emotional regulation, and leadership in their homes and relationships. Through a grounded and direct lens, these principles explore detachment from unhealthy desire, acceptance of reality, freedom from dependence on pleasure or comfort, and humility in perception. This breakdown connects ancient Stoic and Zen philosophy with modern psychology, Adlerian responsibility, and personal accountability, helping listeners understand how internal discipline shapes external outcomes. If you are searching for content on Musashi, the Dokkōdō, masculine growth, self control, or emotional resilience, this episode offers a clear and applicable framework. The first four principles of the Dokkōdō are presented not as abstract philosophy, but as lived standards that expose ego, victim thinking, and reactive behavior. This podcast episode examines how attachment fuels suffering, how resistance to reality creates chaos, and how unchecked desire weakens leadership in marriage, fatherhood, and purpose. By tying Musashi's teachings to journaling, self reflection, and daily decision making, this breakdown challenges men to own their interpretations and take responsibility for their results. Ideal for listeners interested in personal growth, men's work, discipline, and timeless wisdom applied to modern life, this episode serves as both a mirror and a call to action.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

When are meetings the best way to coordinate and make decisions and when do they make things worse?? How do you use the two-pizza rule to hold effective meetings and what happens when you start including too many people in a process?Rebecca Hinds is the head of the Work AI Institute at Glean and the author of Your Best Meeting Ever: 7 Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, a book outlining the way to address one of the ways productivity is lost in organizations.Greg and Rebecca discuss the importance of intentionality in information flow within organizations, the common pitfalls of meeting culture, and practical strategies to improve meeting efficiency. Rebecca emphasizes the use of data and AI to measure meeting effectiveness and reduce 'meeting bloat', while sharing insights from her experiences at Asana and her studies on organizational collaboration. They also explore the evolving collaboration between HR and IT departments in the era of AI and the necessity for both tech and HR professionals to exchange and enhance their skills.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How ‘visibIlity bias' fuels endless meetings[07:28] We know that humans have a bias to associate presence with productivity. And so what I find to be often the case is people start to associate more meetings with more importance and status within the organization, and so when you're stuck and not sure how to make progress or you're worried about productivity, a meeting becomes a knee-jerk solution to solve that. You might not accomplish anything meaningful in the meeting, but at least you've sat together and shown that some progress or perceived progress was made. And so I think at the core of this, is this pervasive productivity theater that goes on in organizations, this visibility bias where we associate meetings with importance within the organization. There are a host of other problems, but at the core, I think that's the fundamental problem that we're dealing with.The pressure ingrained in our calendars and meeting cultures[09:37]  As soon as someone extends a meeting invite. They're establishing this social contract where you feel like you have to reciprocate. Even when we think about terminology around, it's a meeting invite. You either accept or you reject. You start to feel like you're not just rejecting the meeting, but rejecting the person. And it's taken very personally. AI tools can help reveal participation imbalances in meetings[22:59] If you're seeing that leaders are consuming 70%, 80% of the airtime, that's an opportunity to course correct and improve your meeting effectiveness. And often when it comes from an AI tool or an objective analytic tool, it's much more effectively received than a less powerful person trying to voice that takeaway in the meeting and try to veer influence that way.Are we socially conditioned to hate meetings?[28:48] Humans have what I call a meeting suck reflex, right? For a multitude of different reasons.When we hear the word "meeting," we have this negative, visceral reaction. So much so that you know when you're asked to evaluate your meetings in public versus private, you tend to rate your meetings much more negatively when you're around people in public as compared to privately, because we think that we should hate meetings. We've been socially conditioned to feel such, and there's few things that bond coworkers more quickly than bonding over a bad meeting that could have been a five-line email, right? And so to avoid that, assessing whether a meeting was worth your time helps to level set. Everyone has an intuitive sense of whether a meeting was worth their time. Is there something more productive they could have done with that time or not? And so that tends to be a good gauge for you as an organizer.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Asana, Inc.Parkinson's lawSteven RogelbergLaw of TrivialityAmazon's Two-Pizza TeamsROTIRobert I.

Fierce First Step in 2026 PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTLiving in the “Vitality Zone” Requires Conscious Choice and CourageDr. Mishra contrasts the vitality zone—where life feels purposeful, energetic, and engaged—with the surviving, sliding, and burnout zones. Using his experience standing on Iceland's continental divide as a metaphor, he emphasizes that meaningful growth often requires a deliberate leap of faith rather than passive autopilot living.Sleep is the New Frontier for Disease PredictionGroundbreaking AI research (the Sleep Foundation Model) shows that data from a single night of sleep can predict over 130 health conditions, including dementia, heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Sleep is reframed not as passive rest, but as a powerful diagnostic signal for future health.Sleep Functions as a Biological and Metabolic SuperpowerHigh-quality sleep resets metabolism, reduces inflammation, preserves muscle mass, improves cognition, and enhances physical performance. Athletes, professionals, and everyday individuals perform better when sleep is prioritized, making it foundational for both vitality and productivity.Five Evidence-based Principles can Dramatically Improve Sleep QualityThe most impactful strategies are:* Prioritizing sleep regularity over total sleep duration* Using exercise (especially strength training) as a drug-free sleep aid* Executing consistent sleep hygiene (cool, dark room; limited screens/caffeine; calming routines)* Recognizing sleep as a performance enhancer and metabolic reset* Treating sleep data as a validated biomarker for long-term health riskKnowledge only Matters when Turned into ActionEchoing Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Mishra stresses that while knowledge pays dividends, action pays more. The concrete vitality action for the week is simple but powerful: aim for 20 additional minutes of quality sleep per night, combined with moments of stillness, reflection, and self-advocacy to move intentionally toward a more vital life.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

Quality of the coffee, experience, service, and just about anything else in the cafe will always be something an owner and leader focuses on. These days we tend to concentrate our efforts on the acquiring of quality, instead of the creation of it. All the potential those great beans, your wonderful staff, and even our space have, is just potential until you take action and render, create, and realize that potential in the cup, in the moment, in the real life of the business. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about some ways that we should be thinking about quality, the need for constant focus, maintaining excellence, and the dangers of the claim that quality is something we have already achieved and can move on.

Tomaso Poggio is the Eugene McDermott professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, a member of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and director of both the Center for Biological and Computational Learning at MIT and the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines. Tomaso believes we are in-between building and understanding useful AI That is, we are in between engineering and theory. He likens this stage to the period after Volta invented the battery and Maxwell developed the equations of electromagnetism. Tomaso has worked for decades on the theory and principles behind intelligence and learning in brains and machines. I first learned of him via his work with David Marr, in which they developed "Marr's levels" of analysis that frame explanation in terms of computation/function, algorithms, and implementation. Since then Tomaso has added "learning" as a crucial fourth level. I will refer to you his autobiography to learn more about the many influential people and projects he has worked with and on, the theorems he and others have proved to discover principles of intelligence, and his broader thoughts and reflections. Right now, he is focused on the principles of compositional sparsity and genericity to explain how deep learning networks can (computationally) efficiently learn useful representations to solve tasks.

The experts told us it was impossible. The media told us it was dangerous. They were wrong. Today, we look at the undeniable data coming out of Argentina: Inflation is dead, rents are down, and the "Ministry of Deregulation" is proving that Liberty isn't just a theory—it's the only solution. Austin breaks down the "Law of Fallen Leaves," the failure of the US media to admit they lied, and why Donald Trump needs to import the Chainsaw to Washington immediately.

In this episode, I'm joined by Virginie Raphael — investor, entrepreneur, and philosopher of work — for a wide-ranging conversation about incentives, technology, and how we build systems that scale without losing their humanity. We talk about her background growing up around her family's flower business, and how those early experiences shaped the way she thinks about labor, value, and operating in the real economy. That foundation carries through to her work as an investor, where she brings an operator's lens to evaluating businesses and ideas. We explore how incentives quietly shape outcomes across industries, especially in healthcare. Virginie shares why telehealth was a meaningful shift and what needs to change to move beyond one-to-one, supply-constrained models of care. We also dig into AI, venture capital, and the mistakes founders commonly make today — from hiring sales teams too early to raising too much money too fast. Virginie offers candid advice on pitching investors, why thoughtful cold outreach still works, and how doing real research signals respect and fit. The conversation closes with a contrarian take on selling: why it's not a numbers game, how focus and pre-qualification drive better outcomes, and why knowing who not to target is just as valuable as finding the right people. If you're thinking about the future of work, building with intention, or navigating entrepreneurship in an AI-accelerated world, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, join us at Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th, where we'll keep exploring incentives, human skills, and what it really takes to build things that last. Start (0:00) Reflections on Work, Geography, and AI Adoption Virginie shares what she's noticing as trends in work and tech adoption: Geographic focus: she's excited to explore AI adoption outside traditional tech hubs. Examples: Atlanta, Nashville, Durham, Utah, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, parts of the Midwest. Rationale: businesses in these regions may adopt AI faster due to budgets, urgency, and impatience for tech that doesn't perform. "There are big corporates, there are middle and small businesses in those geos that have budget that will need the tech… and/or have less patience, I should say, for over-hub technologies that don't work." She notes that transitions to transformational technology never happen overnight, which creates opportunities: "We always underestimate how much time a transition to making anything that's so transformational… truly ubiquitous… just tends to think that it will happen overnight and it never does." Robin adds context from her own experience with Robin's Cafe and San Francisco's Mission District: Observed cultural and business momentum tied to geography Mentions Hollywood decline and rise of alternative media hubs (Atlanta, Morocco, New Jersey) Virginie reflects on COVID's impact on workforce behaviors: Opened a "window" to new modes of work and accelerated change: "There were many preexisting trends… but I do think that COVID gave a bit of a window into what was possible." Emphasis on structural change: workforce shifts require multi-year perspective and infrastructure, not just trends. Investor, Mission, and Capital Philosophy Virginie clarifies she is an investor, not a venture capitalist, resisting labels and prestige metrics. "I don't call myself a venture capitalist… I just say investor." Focuses on outcomes over categories, investing in solutions that advance the world she wants to see rather than chasing trendy tech sectors. "The outcome we want to see is everyone having the mode of work that suits them best throughout their lives." Portfolio themes: Access: helping people discover jobs they wouldn't otherwise know about. Retention / support: preventing workforce dropouts, providing appropriate healthcare, childcare, and caregiving support. "Anyone anywhere building towards that vision is investible by us." Critiques traditional venture capital practices: Raising VC money is not inherently a sign of success. "Raising from a VC is just not a sign of success. It's a milestone, not the goal." Concerned about concentration of capital into a few funds, leaving many founders unsupported. "There's a sense… that the work we do commands a lot less power in the world, a lot less effectiveness than holding the capital to hire that labor." Emphasizes structural, mission-driven investing over chasing categories: Invests in companies that prevent workforce dropouts, expand opportunity, and create equitable access to meaningful work. Portfolio strategy is diversified, focusing on infrastructure and long-term impact rather than quick wins. "We've tracked over time what type of founders and what type of solutions we attract and it's exactly the type of deal that we want to see." Reflects on COVID and societal trends as a lens for her investment thesis: "COVID gave a bit of a window into what was possible," highlighting alternative modes of work and talent distribution that are often overlooked. Labor, Ownership, and Durable Skills Virginie reframes the concept of labor, wages, and ownership: "The word labor in and of itself… is something we need to change." Interested in agency and ownership as investment opportunities, especially for small businesses transitioning to employee ownership. "For a very long time… there's been a shift towards knowledge work and how those people are compensated. If you go on the blue-collar side… it's about wages still and labor." Emphasizes proper capitalization and alignment of funds to support meaningful exits for smaller businesses, rather than chasing massive exits that drive the VC zeitgeist. AI fits into this discussion as part of broader investment considerations. Childhood experience in family flower business shaped her entrepreneurial and labor perspective: Selling flowers, handling cash, and interacting with customers taught "durable skills" that persisted into adulthood. "When I think of labor, I think of literally planting pumpkin plants… pulling espresso shots… bringing a customer behind the counter." Observing her father start a business from scratch instilled risk-taking and entrepreneurial spirit. "Seeing my dad do this when I was seven… definitely part of that." Skills like sales acumen, handling money, and talking to adults were early lessons that translated into professional confidence. Non-linear career paths and expanding exposure to opportunity: Concerned that students often see only a narrow range of job options: "Kids go out of high school, they can think of three jobs, two of which are their parents' jobs… Surely because we do a poor job exposing them to other things." Advocates for creating more flexible and exploratory career pathways for young people and adults alike. Durable skills and language shaping work: Introduction of the term "durable skills" reframes how competencies are understood: "I use it all the time now… as a proof point for why we need to change language." Highlights the stigma and limitations of words like "soft skills" or "fractional work": Fractional roles are high-impact and intentional, not temporary or inferior. "Brilliant people who wanna work on a fractional basis… they truly wanna work differently… on a portfolio of things they're particularly good at solving." Work in Progress uses language intentionally to shift perceptions and empower people around work. Cultural significance of language in understanding work and people: Virginie notes that language carries stigma and meaning that shapes opportunities and perception. References Louis Thomas's essays as inspiration for attention to the nuance and power of words: He'll take the word discipline and distill it into its root, tie it back into the natural world." Robin shares a personal anecdote about language and culture: "You can always use Google Translate… but also it's somebody learning DIA or trying to learn dharia, which is Moroccan Arabic… because my fiance is Moroccan." Human-Positive AI, Process, and Apprenticeship Virginie emphasizes the value of process over pure efficiency, especially in investing and work: "It's not about the outcome often, it's about the process… there is truly an apprenticeship quality to venture and investing." Using AI to accelerate tasks like investment memos is possible, but the human learning and iterative discussion is critical: "There's some beauty in that inefficiency, that I think we ought not to lose." AI should augment human work rather than replace the nuanced judgment, particularly in roles requiring creativity, judgment, and relationship-building: "No individual should be in a job that's either unsafe or totally boring or a hundred percent automatable." Introduces the term "human-positive AI" to highlight tools that enhance human potential rather than simply automate tasks: "How do we use it to truly augment the work that we do and augment the people?" Project selection and learning as a metric of value: Virginie evaluates opportunities not just on outcome, but what she will learn and who she becomes by doing the work: "If this project were to fail, what would I still learn? What would I still get out of it?" Cites examples like running a one-day SNAFU conference to engage people in human-centered selling principles: "Who do I become as a result of doing that is always been much more important to me than the concrete outcomes of this thing going well." AI Bubble, Transition, and Opportunity Discusses the current AI landscape and the comparison to past tech bubbles: "I think we're in an AI bubble… 1999 was a tech bubble and Amazon grew out of it." Differentiates between speculative hype and foundational technological transformation: "It is fundamental. It is foundational. It is transformative. There's no question about that." Highlights the lag between technological introduction and widespread adoption: "There's always a pendulum swing… it takes time for massively transformative technology to fully integrate." AI as an enabler, not a replacement: Transition periods create opportunity for investment and human-positive augmentation. Examples from healthcare illustrate AI's potential when applied correctly: "We need other people to care for other people. Should we leverage AI so the doctor doesn't have to face away from the patient taking notes? Yes, ambient scribing is wonderful." Emphasizes building AI around real human use cases and avoiding over-automation: "What are the true use cases for it that make a ton of sense versus the ones we need to stay away from?" History and parallels with autonomous vehicles illustrate the delay between hype and full implementation: Lyft/Uber example: companies predicted autonomous vehicles as cost drivers; the transition opened up gig work: "I was a gig worker long before that was a term… the conversation around benefits and portability is still ongoing." AI will similarly require time to stabilize and integrate into workflows while creating new jobs. Bias, Structural Challenges, and Real-World AI Experiments Discusses the importance of addressing systemic bias in AI and tech: Shares the LinkedIn "#WearThePants" experiment: women altered gender identifiers to measure algorithmic reach: "They changed their picture, in some cases changed their names… and got much more massive reach." Demonstrates that AI can perpetuate structural biases baked into systems and historical behavior: "It's not just about building AI that's unbiased; it's about understanding what the algorithm might learn from centuries of entrenched behavior." Highlights the ongoing challenge of designing AI to avoid reinforcing existing inequities: "Now you understand the deeply structural ingrained issues we need to solve to not continue to compound what is already massively problematic." Parenting, Durable Skills, and Resilience Focus on instilling adaptability and problem-solving in children: "I refuse to problem solve for them. If they forget their homework, they figure it out, they email the teacher, they apologize the next day. I don't care. I don't help them." Emphasizes allowing children to navigate consequences themselves to build independence: "If he forgets his flute, he forgets his flute. I am not making the extra trip to school to bring him his flute." Everyday activities are opportunities to cultivate soft skills and confidence: "I let them order themselves at the restaurant… they need to look the waiter in the eye and order themselves… you need to speak more clearly or speak loudly." Cultural context and exposure shape learning: Practices like family meals without devices help children appreciate attention, respect, and communication: "No iPad or iPhone on our table… we sit properly, enjoy a meal together, and talk about things." Travel and cultural exposure are part of teaching adaptability and perspective: "We spent some time in France over the summer… the mindset they get from that is that meals matter, and people operate differently." Respecting individuality while fostering independence: "They are their own people and you need to respect that and step away… give them the ability to figure out who they are and what they like to do." Parenting as a balance of guidance and autonomy: "Feel like that was a handbook that you just offered for parenting or for management? Either one. Nobody prepares you for that… part of figuring out." Future of Work and Technology Horizons Timeframes for predicting trends: Focus on a 5-year horizon as a middle ground between short-term unpredictability and long-term uncertainty: "Five years feels like this middle zone that I'm kind of guessing in the haze, but I can kind of see some odd shapes." Short-term (6–18 months) is more precise; long-term (10–15 years) is harder to anticipate: "I'm a breezy investor. Six months at a time max… deal making between two people still matters in 18 months." Identifying emerging technologies with latent potential: Invests in technologies that are ready for massive impact but haven't yet had a "moment": "I like to look at technologies that have yet to have a moment… the combo of VR and AI is prime." Example: Skill Maker, a VR+AI training platform for auto technicians, addressing both a labor shortage and outdated certification processes: "We are short 650,000 auto technicians… if you can train a technician closer to a month or two versus two years, I promise you the auto shops are all over you." Focuses on alignment of incentives, business model innovation, and meaningful outcomes: "You train people faster, even expert technicians can benefit… earn more money… right, not as meaningful to them and not as profitable otherwise." Principles guiding technology and investment choices: Solving enduring problems rather than temporary fads: "What is a problem that is still not going to go away within the next 10–15 years?" Ensuring impact at scale while creating economic and personal value for participants: "Can make a huge difference in the lives of 650,000 people who would then have good paying jobs." Scaling, Incentives, and Opportunity Re-examining traditional practices and identifying opportunities for change: "If you've done a very specific thing the exact same way, at some point, that's prime to change." Telehealth is an example: while helpful for remote access, it hasn't fundamentally created capacity: "You're still in that one-to-one patient's relationship and an hour of your time with a provider is still an hour at a time." Next version of telehealth should aim to scale care beyond individual constraints: "Where do we take telehealth next… what is the next version of that that enables you to truly scale and change?" Incentives shape outcomes: "Thinking through that and all the incentives… if I were to change the incentives, then people would behave differently? The answer very often is yes, indeed." Paraphrasing Charlie Munger: "Look for the incentives and I can tell you the outcome." Founders, Pitching, and Common Mistakes Pet peeves in founder pitches: Lack of research and generic outreach is a major turn-off: "I can really quickly tell if you have indeed spent a fraction of a minute on my site… dear sir, automatic junk. I won't even read the thing." Well-crafted, thoughtful cold inbound pitches get attention: "Take some time. A well crafted cold inbound will get my attention… you don't need to figure out an intro." Big mistakes entrepreneurs make: Hiring too early, especially in sales: "Until you have a playbook, like don't hire a sales team… if you don't have about a million in revenue, you're probably not ready." Raising too much capital too quickly: "You get into that, you're just gonna spend a lot more time fundraising than you are building a company." Comparing oneself to others: "You don't know if it's true… there's always a backstory… that overnight success was 15 years in the making." Sales Strategy and Non-Sales Selling Approach is contrarian: focus on conversion, not volume: "It is not a numbers game. I think it's a conversion game… I would much rather spend more time with a narrower set of targets and drive better conversion." Understanding fit is key: "You gotta find your people… and just finding who is not or should not be on your list is equally valuable." Recognizes that each fund and business is unique, so a tailored approach is essential: "The pitch is better when I'm talking to the quote unquote right people in the right place about the right things."

Khalil Zahar is the CEO and co-founder of FightCamp, the connected fitness company bringing real boxing and martial arts training into homes around the world. Khalil didn’t grow up in the fight world. He found boxing in college at a moment when he was looking for structure, challenge, and something that demanded more from him than a typical workout. What started as a way to stay in shape quickly became a discipline. One that sharpened his focus, tested his mindset, and reshaped how he approached pressure, consistency, and personal standards. That experience became the foundation for FightCamp. Khalil built the company around the belief that boxing and martial arts training are not just about fitness. They are systems for building mental resilience, accountability, and self-respect. Today, he leads FightCamp with a mission to make that kind of training accessible to people who value hard work, discipline, and earning their progress. Principles that strongly align with the military and veteran community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
