In this episode of the Women on the Move Podcast, host Sam Saperstein is joined by Jamie Kramer, head of the Alternative Solutions Group for J.P. Morgan Asset Management, and Ali Rosenthal, founder and managing partner of Leadout Capital. Jamie and Ali connected after Jamie's team invested in Ali's Venture Capital fund. Here they discuss their career journeys and why they both believe asset management is a great career for women. The story behind Project Spark In more than 30 years at J.P. Morgan, Jamie's career has spanned both Asset and Wealth Management, with roles across public and private investments. Five years ago, she was named head of Alternative Solutions at the firm, where she's responsible for insights, analytics, and cross alternatives investment solutions. She's also the CEO of Global Hedge Fund and Alternative Credit Solutions business. Jamie recalls when she met a woman who was struggling to raise funds for her own venture fund in 2020. “I couldn't really understand why she wasn't as successful raising these assets,” she says. “And so I approached our CEO and asked on behalf of Asset Management if we could give her some capital.” That initial investment led to the creation of Project Spark, an effort aimed at providing capital to funds managed by diverse, emerging alternative managers, including minority-led and women-led venture capital funds and other private funds. “I'm really excited that the 33 managers that we've invested in and the $140 million has helped accelerate well over a billion in fundraising,” Jamie says. “And Ali is one of those managers.” Leadout Capital After a stint as a professional women's cyclist, Ali began her career in operating roles at consumer technology businesses (she was an early employee at Facebook) and in investment banking as both an angel investor and an institutional investor. “I got Leadout going because I saw a gap in the market with respect to who got access to capital,” she tells Sam and Jamie. “I believe today the numbers are still that fewer than 3 percent of companies are invested in by the venture capital community. And I thought that was really compelling.” Leadout's focus has been on women, underrepresented minorities, and people who according to data are less likely to receive venture capital funding. As Ali says, these are founders who “had great ideas, great momentum, but oftentimes were overlooked because they didn't fit pattern recognition. And so I wanted to use my platform, my network, my experience to back them and to connect them via bridge for them to other sources of capital, not only monetary capital but network capital and social capital and people and experts who could really help them go from zero to one.” “We really pursue what we call a founder market fit–driven thesis,” Ali says. “So we look for founders who themselves are customer segment experts, people who have lived a problem in a market that they know well either because they care enough about that market to embed with the customer, become a customer themselves, really understand the pain point that a customer is having and solve it with software.” “A great career for women” Ali and Jamie agree that asset management can be a great career fit for women. Jamie notes that the field is both relationship-driven and problem-solving oriented, two skills that women tend to excel at. It affords good life balance, she says, with relatively predictable hours. And she cites research that shows that although there aren't enough women in asset management, they tend to be successful in the field. In addition, it offers an opportunity for women to do well financially which in turn allows them to give back, which research shows women gravitate toward. “And something that Ali said, which is that asset management is not transactional,” she adds. “It's extremely relationship driven. No matter what aspect you're in, you are managing money as a fiduciary on behalf of someone helping corporations meet their goals. You're helping individuals retire.” Disclaimer: The speakers' opinions belong to them and may differ from opinions of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where we are finishing our series on 2005's God of War. We talk about when the game leans into the things it's not great at, the sense of epic scale, as well as turning to our traditional takeaways as we end a series. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished the game! Podcast breakdown: 0:42 God of War discussion 54:45 Break 55:11 Takeaways and Feedback Issues covered: dying 20 - 60 times, the downward spiral rage, compounding challenge, adding elements at a good rate, enumerating the elements of a challenge, not earning the challenge, shelf-level events/wall mission, not knowing you're near the end of the game, being stubborn and maybe putting a game away for a while, representing Hades accurately as a Sisyphean task, leaning into disempowerment sections as a mistake, potential for usability testing issues, variant gameplay needs to be easier, getting bored as developers, it's a sorbet not a bowl of hot sauce, positive vs negative feedback loops, rich getting richer syndrome, strategies for dealing with small numbers of orbs, arguing with QA, rationalizing your poor choices, a combo game for the masses, difficulty levels as a Band-Aid (TM), a strategy for spending orbs, adjusting orbs for difficulty, puzzle scale, puzzles for pacing, merging of genres, enjoying geometry puzzle, macro puzzle, puzzles that fit or don't, physics puzzles (buoyancy, momentum), tests of the gods, Tim and Brett forget ballistas, Greek tragedy themes, melodrama being appropriate here, having to work for a more minimal story, overly simplistic motivations, conflating player and character motivations, finding revenge against Ares, never getting to care for Kratos, an unsympathetic hero, tragedy as a character issue vs a plot issue, evolving Kratos and his world, sequence saving the family, Brett confuses who the brothers are, music as the MVP, exotic and seductive soundtrack, pushing Pandora's Box to no soundtrack, full commitment to camera, a technical pinnacle on the platform, embracing spectacle, combo flow, Raiden: the best MGS hero, empowering games, assertion through domination vs self-expression, the opportunity to be clever, using tactics effectively. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Halo, Mark Garcia, Nintendo, Jamie Fristrom, Jak & Daxter, Devil May Cry, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, King Tutenkhamen, Noah Hughes, TR: Legend, Ray Harryhausen, The Bacchae, Shadow of the Colossus, Faustus, Oedipus, 300, Frank Miller, Conan, Medal of Honor, Michael Giacchino, Clint Bajakian, LucasArts, Outlaws, Gerard Marino, Michael Reagan, Ron Fish, Winifred Phillips, Winnie Waldron, Cris Velasco, Marcello de Francisi, Lawrence of Arabia, DarkSiders, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, Platinum Games, Metroid: Other M, Metal Gear: Rising, Metal Gear Solid 4, Mikkel Lodahl, Sierra, Mark Crowe, Jordan Mechner, Karateka, Prince of Persia, Republic Commando, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Everything: The Game, Minecraft, Fallout 3, X-COM, Toy Story 3: Toy Box Mode, Disney Infinity, Project: Spark, else heart:break, The Magic Circle, Kim Kardashian's Hollywood. Next time: We'll figure it out soon! (Almost certainly more God of War-related content) @brett_douville, @timlongojr, and @devgameclub DevGameClub@gmail.com
Aired on May 23, 2016 Great Scott! It's only another podcast! This week: Project Spark is DEAD...Fable cries Racism...Disney Infinity is DEAD...Plus, Uncharted 4, Fallout 4, Doom and more!
Aired on March 22, 2015 Before this weeks podcast commenced, Cal was struck by the shit Lords at TalkTalk and his internet was broken. Well, his router at least, so we wasn't sure if we'd be able to do the podcast on time. Turned out we were able to. Salutations! This week: God of War III Remastered heading to Playstation 4! New Conker content heading to Project Spark! Star Wars: Battlefront III to be unveiled NEXT WEEK?! And Nintendo heading to mobile and a brand new console!?

It’s a return to the realm of platform games as Rick and Ben discuss another set of genre defining characters and developers. From bandicoots to bears, our hosts realize that most successful platform games require an animal lead character. Plus, Rick forgets how to form correct words, and Ben gives some excellent insight into the elections. File Under: Video Games, Platform Games, Platformers, Spyro the Dragon, Insomniac, Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog, Crash Team Racing, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Rare, Project Spark, Banjo-Kazooie, Collectathons, Playtonic Games, Yooka-Laylee Find us on the web: Rick on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WrathRainbows Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theragu40 ThePastCast website: https://www.thepastcast.com
Marc starts off this week's short show talking about the big change coming to Hulu and then immediately dives headfirst into a handful of anime, including Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You and Sweetness and Lightning. After that, Marc talks about their time with Project Spark days before its death and the scares they've encountered in Layers of Fear. Cheers and enjoy the show.

Tron Runner Kung Fu Panda: Legend of the Legendary Legends Dead or Alive 5 Killer Instinct Make a ZedtoZed list? Montana97: Do I need to eject external HDD before disconnecting them? Unknown if you pull it while in use. Maybe turn off the console before you remove. Editor's note: generally it's probably fine to pull it whenever, but you may cause some hiccups if it's saving a game at the time. Note that game saves are always stored on the internal drive and the cloud though. GRAW (Drink!) Questions Facial: Favorite game in the GRAW series? Excited for Wild lands? Brandon has never played a GRAW game Randy has only played the original GRAW (No substitutes) Jury is still out for Wild lands, but skeptical. Don't give a company money in advance for 2 years in the future. Finance 101. xXxB1G311xXx: That guy? Please stop mentioning GRAW? (Drink)… Doubtful. GRAW has uneven Gamerscore (So you have to do the leaderboard to be even) Salsbar: How can I get the leaderboard achievements to even up my gamerscore? Anno Mundi: Would you recommend I try for the leaderboard achievements at this point? How much did it cost you for the gold subs? Randy says “No”. Cost of 8 accounts with Gold. So apx $80 a month. jjaldana: The leaderboard achievements takes about 6 months of playing all day everyday. This account for 8 hours of sleep days. YODA12320: Yes what other than graw do you talk about.. Listen to past Podcast episodes. ;-) IXI B1G3L1 IXI: Since GRAW is rated T for Teen, when does your mom say you will be allowed to play games that are rated M? Randy's mom will allow him to play rated M games if he chooses, since he is such a big boy. People are still pulling a Fream!
