Don’t Fade and Die in AI Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ Matt Yanchyshyn, VP AWS Marketplace, Rekha Thangelapalita, Elastic GSI Leaders; Allison McFadden, Accenture AWS Leader; and James Kang of Nvidia join Ultimate Partner. In this panel discussion, leaders from Elastic, Accenture, Nvidia, and AWS dissect the urgent shifts in the ecosystem, emphasizing that partners must adapt to AI and agentic co-selling or risk fading away completely. The conversation explores the necessity of deep co-engineering, the power of multi-product solutions in the AWS marketplace, and how automated agents are now replacing traditional human sales pipeline progression. By embracing data readiness and strategic collaboration, organizations can survive the “token maxing” era, effectively scale their enterprise opportunities, and align with NVIDIA’s five-layer strategy to dominate the new cloud landscape. https://youtu.be/zUkL4Wqsa68 Key Takeaways AI agents will automate the majority of AWS partner co-selling attachments and opportunity progressions this year. Partners who fail to embrace agentic workflows and automated governance face the existential risk of fading into obsolescence. Successful multi-product offerings require a “blood to all organs” approach that benefits the client, the ISV, the GSI, and the hyperscaler simultaneously. Nvidia’s “five-layer cake” model emphasizes that successful outcomes at the application layer automatically drive growth for all underlying infrastructure. The “token maxing” phenomenon is forcing enterprises to seek cost-effective, open-model alternatives to scale their generative AI securely. Integrating GSIs and ISVs on the AWS marketplace significantly increases enterprise deal sizes and long-term customer renewal rates. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

You can embrace them and figure it out and get governance and, and make your data available. Um, use the partner, central agent, move to Agen Co-sell, or you can fade and die. [00:00:11] Vince Menzione: You can feel it happening. The ecosystem is shifting beneath us, the way Hyperscalers are partnering, how AI is remaking the channel and what it means to win in 2026. [00:00:22] Vince Menzione: Welcome to the Ultimate Partner Podcast. I’m Vince Menzi. Own your host. And each week I sit down with leaders at the intersection of technology, partnerships and outcomes. The voices shaping how ecosystems actually work. We talk about what’s real, what’s changing, and what it takes to lead in this era where the partner channel isn’t just part of the strategy. [00:00:44] Vince Menzione: It is the strategy because [00:00:46] Vince Menzione: being in the room changes everything. Let’s start. [00:00:51] Vince Menzione: We’ve got some amazing leaders joining us. So I think probably for a little bit of context, maybe just start with Rika. You can introduce yourself, your role and, uh, what, what you’ve been doing at Elastic. Yeah. [00:01:03] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah, sounds great. [00:01:04] Rekha Thangellapalli: Hi everyone. I’m Reka and I lead GSI Alliances at Elastic. Um, for the past 14 years, I’ve had the pleasure of building different kinds of partner ecosystems across companies such as SAP. MuleSoft, Salesforce, Coupa, and now Elastic. Um, I wanna thank Ultimate partner and Vince for having us here today. Thank you and the panel of these incredible speakers for joining me on stage. [00:01:31] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, very excited for the conversation today. [00:01:33] Vince Menzione: We love Elastic, and you’ve had some of your other leaders on stage at other events. As such, the quality of your leadership team is amazing. Thank you. [00:01:42] Rekha Thangellapalli: I wholeheartedly agree. [00:01:45] Allison McFadden: Excellent. Um, hello everyone. Allison McFadden. I lead our North America AWS practice at Accenture. [00:01:52] Allison McFadden: Uh, I’ve been there for five years, and truth be told, it was my first partnership role, my first formal partnership role. Uh, so I can take some tips from all of you in the room here today. Prior to that, I was 21 years with IBM, and I got into partnerships because my last role at IBM was actually trying to build. [00:02:14] Allison McFadden: Linux business on the mainframe, and I had to have partners. I had to have partners to help me with workloads to run there. So I kind of learned, uh, trial by fire. But I’m excited for the conversation today. Excited to be in this room and excited to talk about what we’re doing with, uh, elastic. Thank you. [00:02:34] James Kang: Uh, my name is James Kang. Nice to see and meet everyone here. Vince, thank you for the opportunity. Thank you [00:02:38] Vince Menzione: for being here. [00:02:39] James Kang: Um, I’m with Nvidia, so I help manage the AWS partnership at Nvidia all up. Um, I guess fun fact, I’m former AWS and so I see a lot of very familiar faces here in the front row. Uh, former colleagues and then current friends. [00:02:56] James Kang: And so, uh, looking forward to the conversation. [00:02:59] Vince Menzione: Great. Well, we’ll start with an easy tia. Matt. This is not directed to you, directed to the others. So what does a successful AWS partnership look like from your C? So we’ll start with Eureka. [00:03:09] Rekha Thangellapalli: Sure. So from an ISV perspective, I think we really are looking at three things. [00:03:15] Rekha Thangellapalli: Uh, mutual investment building together. And scaling together. So when we talk about mutual investment, elastic recently signed a five-year SCA or strategic collaboration agreement with AWS. And while that is a significant milestone in our partnership, for us, what matters more is what it represents, and that is really a long-term commitment from both companies. [00:03:39] Rekha Thangellapalli: Towards product engineering, um, and joint go to market initiatives to deliver value to customers over time. And that’s what we see is that the best partnerships really compound and they build upon each other every year. Um, they don’t necessarily kind of reset every year. Um, next we talk about building together. [00:03:59] Rekha Thangellapalli: So, um. When we talk about joint solutions, we want to deliver solutions that are better together and the customers have to see us that way. And so whether it’s search, observability, or security, we’re looking at taking to market solutions that we can’t or necessarily don’t wanna take on our own. And finally we talk about scaling together. [00:04:22] Rekha Thangellapalli: And this is where marketplace, for instance, plays a big role, um, when customers can draw down on their cloud commitments, transact online and go from, you know, pilot to enterprise scale adoption in hours, not days. Um, this is when really everyone wins. Um, and this is also where partners like Accenture play a critical role. [00:04:47] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, you know, the incredible amount of expertise that they bring, uh, the managed services capabilities and, um, their data assets actually play a huge role in having our customers realize that value faster. And, um, like Vince mentioned, at the end of the day, best partnerships are all all about creating kind of that. [00:05:07] Rekha Thangellapalli: Self-sustaining flywheel. And so it starts with investing together, building something unique, and having the customers realize that success faster because that success is really the only thing that’s gonna keep that flywheel going for everyone involved. I [00:05:26] Vince Menzione: absolutely. [00:05:26] Allison McFadden: Okay, amazing. I’m gonna riff off a few things Ika said, but from a GSI perspective. [00:05:32] Allison McFadden: A relationship with a WSA successful relationship with AWS looks slightly different. Um, so I think the first thing that we think of in the GSI Community common thread is that the client outcome and delivering value for clients is what we, what we’re striving for. Um, and so the partnership with AWS in that case, um, um, it has to, it has to. [00:06:01] Allison McFadden: Look like one team in front of our clients. So we have to show up indistinguishable, and that’s with AWS and with an ISV partner, it has to look like one solution in front of the client, especially moments that matter. So board meetings, um, you know, the time we’re gonna sign a deal, like we have to look like one team, uh, and keep our our client outcome, um, first and foremost in mind. [00:06:24] Allison McFadden: The second thing, and this is I think where the magic of all the people in this room comes into play. We can have as many discussions at a CEO level as we want. And if our client teams on the ground are not working together, it falls apart. Falls apart directly in front of the client. Yes. And that is a really hard thing to do. [00:06:45] Allison McFadden: So I’m passionate about the alliance work because that that work is what makes it happen at the corporate level. [00:06:53] James Kang: Cool. Um. I’ll start here. So in Nvidia is a accelerated computing platform company. Um, if you asked. Anyone on the, on the street about a year ago, what is ai? A lot of times they would say AI is, is open ai, or it’s philanthropic. [00:07:12] James Kang: Um, Jensen and I’ll, I’ll reference Jensen a lot today, um, because he is our leader, um, but he also sets the strategy in the direction for Nvidia. He talks a lot about AI in the metaphor of a five layer cake. And in terms of the five layer cake, you start off with the foundational bottom layer being power and energy, which sustains. [00:07:32] James Kang: All of our data centers, you move up the stack in terms of chips. So things think of Foxconn, think of TSMC. Next you have the infrastructure layer. So obvious choice is AWS, and then you get to the models where you do have the philanthropics and the open ais. But finally in at the precipice, you have the application layer. [00:07:53] James Kang: Ultimately, the reason why I mentioned all different stacks of the layers, the five layer cake, is the fact that the application layer is the most important. And so when you think about. Partners like Elastic or ServiceNow Trend, ai, CrowdStrike. Every time you pull from the application layer and you see a success, it pulls all five different components of that layer up. [00:08:13] James Kang: And so ultimately, as I think about success, it’s it’s being able to develop these co-sell wins at the application layer and really demonstrating that through extreme co-engineering and co-design with all the different application. Infrastructure, power and energy layers in mind. Um, Jensen also likes to think of himself not only as the CEO and founder, but also as the, the chief Marketing Officer. [00:08:35] James Kang: We are a very event driven company, and so at our big events like GTC or at big industry events like CES or Computex, he likes to show up on the biggest stage, biggest stages and showcase the partnerships with not only ISVs and GSIs, but also with end customers. And so that’s what I think about when I think of SA success. [00:08:56] Vince Menzione: That’s a really good point. You talked about, Allison, you talked about having an alliance strategy, or at least you teed it up, so I thought maybe we would go there for a second. Right? Like, what does a great alliance strategy look like and why is it important to the success of the partnership? [00:09:11] Allison McFadden: Man, I, uh, I have so many opinions on this. [00:09:13] Allison McFadden: We could probably be up here all day. That’s [00:09:15] Vince Menzione: okay. [00:09:16] Allison McFadden: Um, no, I think. Uh, there, there are a couple things, and the first one that comes to mind is focus. We cannot be all things to all people. Um, so when it comes to think about some of the, the work we’re doing with Elastic, we have a very, very clear point of view on what client problem we’re solving, what clients we want to talk to. [00:09:38] Allison McFadden: It helps if, um, from an ISV perspective, if there’s a very clear fit in. The Accenture portfolio or whatever, you know, SI consulting partner. You’re working with a very clear fit in the portfolio and we know what we’re not gonna go after, what we’re not gonna spend our time on because we have, we have this tendency, there’s millions of people. [00:10:00] Allison McFadden: The ecosystem chart that, you know, Vince, you showed up there, there’s so many connections. There’s probably more connections there than there are atoms in the universe, right? So, um. Defining what we do together and what we don’t do together is the first thing that pops to my mind. [00:10:19] Vince Menzione: Reka, do you have a perspective on it since we’re gonna, we’re gonna talk next about what you’ve done together, but, and I also wanna get mass perspective as a hyperscaler partner here as well. [00:10:29] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah, I mean from my perspective, I, I’m gonna, you know, kinda echo what Allison said is to be just maniacally focused. Yep. Um, because, especially from my perspective, so Elastic has three different solutions, right? We’ve got search, we’ve got observability, we’ve got security that map to completely different business units within Accenture. [00:10:47] Rekha Thangellapalli: And of course Accenture does a lot of things. And so, you know, when we first came together it was like. Okay, what are we gonna focus on? What industries are we gonna go after? Which segments are we gonna go after? Which customers, you know, um, outcomes are we trying to solve? And I think that sort of maniacal focus is the number one contributing factor to, to the fact that I’m like, up here on stage today. [00:11:12] Rekha Thangellapalli: Great. [00:11:14] Vince Menzione: Matt? Perspective? [00:11:16] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah, I, I, I guess I was trying to. To add something, uh, additional from an AWS perspective, uh, when it comes to, you know, what does a great alliance look like? Uh, AWS is obsessed with data, you know, in data we trust. And, and so the best, um, and, and this goes sales business problem, and it’s not just the engineering teams. [00:11:34] Matt Yanchyshyn: And so, uh, you know, Accenture does a good job of this elastic, definitely. And if you can come to the table with, um, quantifiable proof of the value of customer outcomes and partnerships. Um, you’ll win all the time and it’ll be a durable relationship with AWS ’cause we really are this data obsessed company and, and even the most senior sales leaders. [00:11:54] Matt Yanchyshyn: Uh, and so what I mean by that specifically is like if you, if you can show like your a RR to land an a RR conversion ratio, like in in numerical format, it’ll light up our sales leaders and, and they’ll be all, and they will co-sell with you all day long. If you can show the, I mentioned this earlier, like the AWS service, uh, whether you’re consulting company or, um, elastic and, and how the shape of customer accounts change positively when we work together. [00:12:15] Matt Yanchyshyn: That type of sort of quantifiable data works particularly well from an alliance perspective. With AWS as a partner, we, we really are like this data in sort of results out company. Um, so I, yeah, that’s just adding to the great points that were already made. I would say specific to AWS that that’s key. [00:12:30] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah. And I’m gonna bring up one more thing. I want to dive in on the, the joint value proposition, but you mentioned something that made a lot of sense and resonated to me about the organizations once you get out of partner, the partner world that we all know and love. Mm-hmm. Once you get down into a field organization or account management organization. [00:12:49] Matt Yanchyshyn: Not as much understanding and really organizations do a bad job here, honestly, in terms of enabling the field organizations. Do you agree? [00:12:58] Allison McFadden: I agree because I, I agree. And, um, you know, I think that’s one of the things, and, and I, I, when I joined Accenture, what we had was a lot of wicked smart architects delivering programs to clients in the field. [00:13:15] Allison McFadden: Very smart, very deep in AWS knowledge. Um, and that was awesome for the 10 clients they were staffed on and to get that understanding of how AWS works and I dream about lar, right? Like, this is a good, you know, but that takes real effort and real work. Yeah. And it’s, it’s um, almost like being a language translator. [00:13:37] Allison McFadden: Yes. For me. Yeah. So, you know, I had to deeply learn AWS so that I could. [00:13:42] Rekha Thangellapalli: Sure. [00:13:42] Allison McFadden: Teach my account teams. My account teams are really smart. They know who they’re selling to. They know their customers. They know what their customers need. They do not know what AWS has to offer always because they’ve got 20 partners lining up to try to tell their stories. [00:13:57] Allison McFadden: Um, they don’t know how to ask of the AWS team or the elastic team or the Nvidia team. Yeah. What they need [00:14:02] Vince Menzione: this co-selling piece. Yeah. [00:14:04] Allison McFadden: And so that is where, um. We had to build that muscle even around our AWS practice, which was a huge practice at Accenture, but we didn’t necessarily surround it with that kind of enablement and um, almost deal coaching layer. [00:14:21] Vince Menzione: So Elastic and Accenture came together. I dunno which one of you wants to lead this part of the conversation, but you will, right? Yeah. So tell us about the genesis of this and why. And a lot of people dunno what Elastic does, but you do some really incredible work. Like I, somebody told me one day was like, oh, you know, Uber, like, that’s elastic, powering all that. [00:14:41] Vince Menzione: Like, we don’t think about that. That the engines that you have and the, the backend to the customers, huge customers. [00:14:48] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah, absolutely. Um, so when AWS launched this feature last, um, reinvent where basically it allowed, you know, channel partners such as Accenture to be able to bundle up their services, their data assets with an ISV solution and put it on marketplace, um, you know, Accenture and Elastic immediately saw an opportunity. [00:15:09] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, at the time most customers were doing gen ai. But they were running into the same challenge, which was that their data just was not ready. And by the way, this is a problem we were solving. Outside of marketplace. I think the, the feature that you guys launched just gave us a way to package it up and to be able to create this repeatable solution, which we call data readiness engine for gen ai and put it on marketplace. [00:15:40] Rekha Thangellapalli: And, um, this to me was a success because. Each company had a clear reason to invest. Um, so for Accenture, they were able to, you know, create a very differentiated services led offering. Uh, for Elastic, we were able to expand on our AI story. And for AWS, um, you know, it drives marketplace adoption, increases cloud consumption, all of that great stuff. [00:16:07] Rekha Thangellapalli: And customers, of course get. A solution to a very real problem that, that they were having. Um, and you know, the surprising part for me going through that journey was that, um. The pitching, the idea, getting the budget, getting the executive sponsorship was actually the easy part. The hard part was getting all three companies to come together, uh, to go from idea to launch in a very ambitious timeline of six weeks. [00:16:37] Rekha Thangellapalli: Nice. And so, you know, this was very much like. Doesn’t matter your title. We’re rolling up our sleeves and we are on this outcome together. Um, and so we literally built a RACI matrix, a project plan, and you know, we had daily standup calls for six weeks where literally. At least one person from each three of these companies called in, you know, got rid of any blockers and we made sure we were on target for that timeline. [00:17:07] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, and you know, at the end we had a successful launch. But I think my favorite part about the story is the impact that we’re having and, um. My favorite story comes from a global pharmaceutical company that, you know, had basically nine petabytes of data spread across six different continents. Wow. And by working with Accenture and Elastic, they were able to build that trusted foundation that their AI and their agents can, you know, kind of safely tap into and be accessible at scale. [00:17:41] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, so that’s my version. Allison. [00:17:44] Allison McFadden: Yeah. Well, I don’t have a lot to add. I just, I would say this is a good example of a couple of principles, right? One is having a forcing function is never a bad idea. Sign up for a big event, sign up. I’m like, I’m here with my, you know, Nvidia guys saying, sign up for the event. [00:17:58] Allison McFadden: It’ll make you move quick, right? [00:18:00] Audience Member: Yes. [00:18:00] Allison McFadden: Um, so that is one, but two, one of my mentors once told me, when you’re designing any kind of, you know, offering go to market motion, it has to get blood to all organs. If it does not get blood to all organs, it does not go [00:18:14] Vince Menzione: nice. [00:18:14] Allison McFadden: Um, [00:18:14] Vince Menzione: I love that analogy. [00:18:15] Allison McFadden: Oh, I love it. And I can talk all day. [00:18:17] Allison McFadden: That guy was brilliant. I love him. But, um, no, and, and so Elastic did a really nice job of bringing the tech to the table. Um, our team has to trust in that technology and its ability to scale, right? Um, because at Accenture we have to be able to deploy across 700,000 consultants. Um. And yeah, so I think those are the two, two things that really worked well here is we had, uh, trust in the technology solved a customer need. [00:18:50] Allison McFadden: Um, it drives, we don’t even talk about, like, yes, it drives marketplace revenue, but it unlocks work that we do that drives even more revenue to our AWS Friends. Right. So this is a, this is a, um, product that’s getting your data ready for AG agentic. It’s a messy problem that everyone’s dealing with, and it removes blockers for clients and it unlocks more, you know, ag agentic work on top of that. [00:19:15] Allison McFadden: So, blood to all organs. [00:19:17] Vince Menzione: So, was that the proposal going forward to say we need to have, we need to have trust in the solution. We need to drive significant revenue. It needs to be something all of our, you know, seven, 700,000 people. Can be a part of and help drive? Is that how you think about? [00:19:32] Allison McFadden: Yeah, and for us right now, um, it’s an interesting time for Accenture. [00:19:36] Allison McFadden: Our clients are asking a lot of us, and what it does is it having some of these accelerators helps us deliver cheaper, better, faster to our clients, which is what they’re demanding of us right now. Um, so it’s an accelerator to client outcomes. [00:19:55] Vince Menzione: James, what is NVIDIA’s role and how do, how do you enter the equation here? [00:20:00] James Kang: Yeah, it’s, um, it’s a good question. Um, I, I would say that Nvidia is probably one of the most misunderstood organizations in the world. Um, despite the, uh, the market capitalization in the valuation of the company, we have a very tiny organization. Um, what I mean by that is, um, if you think about. [00:20:20] James Kang: Salesforces and field sales organizations. Um, we’ll take Salesforce as the account or the customer. As an example, we have one account manager at NVIDIA that no, not only covers and is responsible for the relationship with Salesforce, um, but also manages. Automation Anywhere as well as DocuSign. Whereas at AWS, in contrast, like there are full armies and teams Yeah. [00:20:45] James Kang: That are supporting the Salesforce relationship. And so as you think about partnering and working with Nvidia, the focus has to be on really. Extreme co-design, but also being very prescriptive in terms of what are the very specific customer outcomes that we are solving for. And the guidance that I would give is bring in Nvidia into that equation and that conversation as early as possible because that [00:21:10] James Kang: co-engineering and co-design needs to be part of the foundational building blocks in order for you to come out with a end solution that checks all those different requirements. [00:21:20] James Kang: And so I think. Again, like going back to Nvidia, um, we like to talk about two different types of brains. A brain one and a brain two. Uh, brain One you think about the next quarter and making sure that you’re hitting the revenue targets for the next quarter. Brain two, you think about a long-term goals and potentials looking around corners and being very strategic. [00:21:41] James Kang: The saying internally is without Brain one, there is no oxygen, but without brain two, there is no future. And everyone at NVIDIA is trained to think in that brain two mentality. [00:21:52] Vince Menzione: Wow, Matt. [00:21:54] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah, I, I was just thinking I love the blood doll organs. Uh, and so just on, on that note, um, and, and, you know, the multi-product solutions that, that you, you built together, uh, that is a really good example of blood do organs because like we all know, that’s how customers buy. [00:22:07] Matt Yanchyshyn: They, they buy solutions and increasingly they’re looking for combinations of ISV, sometimes multiple products from multiple ISVs with services. Uh, often they’re buying it through a resell motion. You know, and they, and, and so that from a customer perspective, they want a single place to go. And so that’s the multi-product solution. [00:22:24] Matt Yanchyshyn: They wanna find everything they need, they need Accenture, they need Elastic to solve a specific solution. And I think where that’s headed is even more specific listings, like with AI powered listing experience, like, you know, elastic Plus Accenture for, I’ll make something up like a manufacturing workload. [00:22:37] Matt Yanchyshyn: And so this solution based. Uh, sort of buying is, is very customer centric. It’s what customers want. We all know that. But that’s, that’s the customer sort of organ, I guess. Um, but then, you know, you all have SCAs and those SCAs have marketplace commits. It helps if that gets transacted through marketplace helps the AWS relationship, you know that that’s an organ. [00:22:55] Matt Yanchyshyn: It’s the relationship. It’s, it’s the commercial construct and that you have, uh, that that’s another organ. You’re marketing people. They, that’s another organ. They don’t wanna land, uh, leads on a static marketing page. They wanna land a lead on a, a storefront with a multi-product solution that can actually convert and that you can actually buy it through that. [00:23:12] Matt Yanchyshyn: So the marketing person’s happy because they, they have less churn. Uh, and then, you know, our reps are happy ’cause guess how they get paid? They retire quota when they sell Marketplace. And they, we also, Jay McMain will tell you, that’s another organ called Jay or on, on you now. Um, [00:23:27] Matt Yanchyshyn: he’ll like that. I’ll call him up and tell him that. [00:23:29] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah, [00:23:30] Matt Yanchyshyn: but he, he’ll tell you, you know, don’t believe me. Obviously, never believe Matt, believe, believe the, the data and, and his data shows that. Those deals will close faster and larger if you use marketplace. So that’s, that’s a lot of organs. That’s the whole body. Um, but you know, when you have your customer happy ’cause that’s how they wanna buy your field happy. [00:23:45] Matt Yanchyshyn: Um, and, you know, the relationship happy and you know, your marketing team happy. Uh, and, and Jay happy. Um, and, and you know, I think that multi-product construct and, and the way you kind of use it to model a partnership and the way buyers ultimately wanna buy is, is really powerful. And so I, I think it’s, you know, it’s really a manifestation of how. [00:24:04] Matt Yanchyshyn: We kind of intend and to go to market anyway. Uh, so I think, you know, and thanks for leading the way, by the way. You’re, you’re amongst the very first, so that’s great to see. [00:24:11] Matt Yanchyshyn: So these storefronts are really helping this drive, drive this. Well, [00:24:13] Matt Yanchyshyn: that’s the next evolution. Like we’re talking about the multiproduct solution. [00:24:16] Allison McFadden: I’m JJ Accenture storefront. [00:24:17] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Oh, there you go. I mean, j and j Accenture storefront. [00:24:20] Allison McFadden: We’re gonna talk about that. [00:24:20] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah. I mean, [00:24:21] Matt Yanchyshyn: Accenture also leading the way yet again with storefronts. And so I think the combination of. You know, again, I was talking a lot about conversion. Yeah. And you know, buyers know sometimes they know what they wanna buy and, but if you really wanna convert that lead, you wanna land them again, something that combines, you know, elastic Accenture’s services plus software, but in a storefront that is, you know, surrounding with just the solutions they want so they don’t need to kind of go searching. [00:24:42] Matt Yanchyshyn: So, you know, ultimately reducing that time to close, I guess, really ’cause meeting the customer where they are with what they need. [00:24:51] Matt Yanchyshyn: So we talk about co-selling a little bit. We, Jay and I talk about this all the time. We gotta keep looping Jay in here, even though he is not even in town this week, but Reko, um, what does co-sell look like inside Elastic? [00:25:02] Matt Yanchyshyn: You’ve got, we talked about an incredible leadership team. I’ve gotten meet some of your leaders. Seems like you drive, you do a good job internally driving that. Let’s talk a little bit about it. [00:25:11] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah, and this is something I’m, I’m personally very passionate about. Um, co-sell is. Very much a journey, not a destination. [00:25:20] Rekha Thangellapalli: And I think step one for us is recognizing the different partner types that we have. Because at Elastic we work with, you know, OEMs, MSPs, resale distributors, GSIs, um, and they all bring something very unique. To the customer lifecycle and they all contribute very differently within, you know, our own sales cycle and sales process. [00:25:45] Rekha Thangellapalli: And so, you know, figuring out what is the unique benefit they bring, how do we enable them? So training and enablement is a huge piece of it, and so is making sure we’ve got the right metrics to measure success. Um, I know a lot of companies look at partner sourced as the north star, and that’s great, right? [00:26:06] Rekha Thangellapalli: Because that is undeniable. You can say, Hey, that would not exist if it wasn’t for my partner team. Um, but we’ve also noticed that when we bring in GSIs, it actually increases renewal rates. It significantly increases. Um, a RR over time. Um, it expands deal sizes and so these are very real metrics that we can point to, um, beyond just the co-sell and the partner sourced number. [00:26:32] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, so for us it’s looking at it from a very holistic perspective, but also catering it towards that unique partner and making sure we’re doing everything we can to set them up for success and setting up the partnership for success. [00:26:47] Vince Menzione: So clo close win ratios, deal size and renewal rates? [00:26:52] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yes. For specifically for geos size. [00:26:54] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah. [00:26:55] Vince Menzione: Very interesting. Allison, uh, what had to change internally to produce these co-selling? We talked a little bit about the field organization and enabling a, a group of, and, you know, account sellers that are very customer focused and enabling them on the co-sell side. What had to change internally to drive that? [00:27:13] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:27:14] Allison McFadden: I, I might have already alluded to this a little bit in a previous answer, but, um, creating the capacity to develop, build, and sell these solutions, um, inside of a large GSI, where billable hours is kind of the number one metric on the table. Um. Is part of the investment that we had to make within Accenture to get this done? [00:27:36] Audience Member: Yeah, [00:27:36] Allison McFadden: so expert technology time. So we have technologists that understand the elastic technology. We do similar with Nvidia, by the way, we. We released some of their time to go co-develop the solution because it has to hold technical water, right? It can’t just be a marketing pitch. It can’t just be, it has to be a real, um, what’s the there, there. [00:27:59] Allison McFadden: So in order to actually do proper co-sell, we had to release some of that time. Um, to invest in those partnerships. Um, we’ve also done similar with some industry aligned business development leaders recently, so we have freed their time up to go. Uh. Open new conversations, educate client, account teams, go to clients, have conversations. [00:28:26] Allison McFadden: Um, so that, that’s a new motion that we, uh, have just kind of recently made, um, to allow them, I love this brain one, brain two also, right? So to allow them to focus on brain two, because a lot of our time. Typically spent delivery issues, you know, getting my hours, where am I charging my time? And so just freeing up a little of that capacity to do this work, um, helps get us in this brain two mode where we’re not just living to survive. [00:28:56] Vince Menzione: I. So, Matt, you’ve removed a lot. I mean, one of the things I admire, I admire AWS for being first to market and removing the most friction in marketplace of any of the vendors. Really, truly that. You talked about some of the announcements. How does some of, how does some of this tie PC central agents propensity sales plays, MCP, how does some of this tie to how, how you’re thinking about the future? [00:29:18] Vince Menzione: And how to enable more motions like this. [00:29:20] Matt Yanchyshyn: Yeah. Well, I, I think if you know my boss, UBA Borno, uh, you’ll know that she has a maniacal focus on automation. Yeah. Um, and, uh, co-sell is increasingly automated. You know, you were asking earlier about propensity data. You can get that propensity data in addition to sales plays and, uh, opportunity scores through the partner central agents. [00:29:38] Matt Yanchyshyn: So things that used to require multiple calls to A PDM, if you’re lucky to have one. Yeah. Or a p sm. Uh, you, you can now get through, through these agents, you know, uh, tech Systems, TGS, they, they manage what, over 5,500 customer opportunities with agents that they built on top of our partner Central APIs. [00:29:55] Matt Yanchyshyn: Um, and work Span has built a whole product and business that’s right on leveraging, uh, our APIs, our capabilities to sort of tie into your CRM. So, majority of all opportunities will be progressed and managed by agents. This year at AWS, we already have a majority of all customer opportunities, all app have a partner attached and I, I took a personal goal for a majority of those partner attachments, not to happen from a human. [00:30:22] Matt Yanchyshyn: But from our solution matching engine. And how do you get recommended by that solution? Matching engine, having a healthy ACE pipeline, thanks to partner central agents and the integrations you’re doing. And in addition to being the specializations and doing things like multi-product solutions and ultimately closing opportunities, you dream of LAR and so LAR will help that. [00:30:40] Allison McFadden: It’s more like a nightmare. [00:30:41] Vince Menzione: And so, you know, [00:30:42] Allison McFadden: it’s more like a nightmare, but [00:30:44] Vince Menzione: nightmare. Well, it’s, it’s, yeah. Nightmare of Laura and, and. Nice dreams of PRM, but the, um, but that’s the loop, right? I, I think, uh, increasingly co-sell for us, and in my mind, is largely a hundred percent automated. Yeah. Except for what matters most, those most largest, most strategic, most complex deals. [00:31:01] Vince Menzione: Where our highly paid and very skilled salespeople are most effectively used. [00:31:05] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:31:05] Vince Menzione: You know, the days of, you know, this person with 20 years experience selling, clicking, progressing opportunities through a pipeline, uh, should be over. Uh, and, and we need those people out, out selling and, and co-selling. And so that for me. [00:31:19] Vince Menzione: Yeah. That, you know, we talk a lot about co-sell, but I, I’m obsessed with automating as much of the co-sell as possible. [00:31:24] Vince Menzione: I remember going back to the ex Excel spreadsheets and, and that, that seems to be be Viva became spreadsheet jockeys. [00:31:31] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:31:32] Vince Menzione: And, and they stopped selling. They forgot how to sell. [00:31:34] Vince Menzione: Yeah. And people spend all this time doing lunch and learns and things like that. [00:31:36] Vince Menzione: And then, you know. Then the salespeople rotate out after 18 months and, and it, that’s, that’s the old days. Uh, you know, the new days are, are AI powered matching algorithms, uh, ag agentic co-sell, using the partner essential agents to get your data and, and putting that data to use automatically and, and what sounded like magic. [00:31:51] Vince Menzione: 12 months ago is being done, you know, by partners at massive scale across thousands of opportunities. You can do it today. And you know, I, there’s a guy named another Mike, right? Mike another Mike who they have, there’s like a guy who’s doing all this and I’m picking on Mike ’cause I, I know their system really well and I know the guy Mike grew easily built it for them. [00:32:08] Vince Menzione: Um, but, you know, I think, yeah, again, in the days of having 10 people sort of doing lunch and learn could be replaced by one or two people, building agents, uh, managing a massive pipeline. And, and that’s the future. [00:32:18] Vince Menzione: Exactly. James, your perspective on what breaks with co-selling? [00:32:22] James Kang: Oh, what breaks co-sell? Um, I would say. [00:32:25] James Kang: It, it starts and finishes with just misalignment and a loss of trust with the customer, especially when you have multiple partners or stakeholders involved. If you’re trying to do a three-way deal with a end customer and you’re not on the same page, you’re not gonna get to a successful outcome on, on the backend. [00:32:44] James Kang: Uh, the fix is a much more complicated story. I would say that to take a step back, um. We’ve talked about the five layer cake. We’ve talked about where NVIDIA kind of fits within the equation. We are invested in the ecosystem and so as different players and application organizations win and see these outcomes for end customers, we celebrate that success. [00:33:07] James Kang: Um, and as part of that kind of ethos of where NVIDIA fits within the ecosystem, we wanna make sure that not only. Our customers, but our partners like ISVs and GSIs are set up for success. Um, we do not as Nvidia sell hardware or GPUs directly to customers We use. Hyperscalers like AWS as kind of our force multiplier. [00:33:31] James Kang: And similarly we think of ISVs and GSIs as the force multipliers in terms of our extensions of how we, we kind of leverage the relationships and build the trust with our end customers. And so going back to kind of the question, Vince, I would say that it all comes back to trust and being able to build that mutual trust. [00:33:48] James Kang: Um, a lot of what we do when we co-sell with AWS is really on the software layer. Um, we actually have more software engineers at NVIDIA than we have hardware engineers, which is a weird thing to say, um, because everyone knows us for our GPUs. But because of that fact, we are heavily invested in Cuda and making sure that Cuda becomes the foundational layer for how not only our ISVs and GSIs, but also our end customers are building. [00:34:12] Vince Menzione: Very cool. So Reiki, you and James together on this production. Versus pilot with the Gentech ai. Tell us a little bit more about that. Where, where are you in the process? [00:34:24] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah. So I mean, in general, what we’re seeing out in the market in, in relation to sort of AI and, and customer’s journeys is that, um, at least from an elastic perspective, um, we’re seeing people very much in production when it comes to, you know, kind of AI assistant co-pilot use cases. [00:34:42] Rekha Thangellapalli: So, you know, things like, um, software development, customer support is a big one. Um, any sort of employee productivity use cases where there’s. Still a human in the loop somewhere. Um, and there’s a very like, clear path to value. And so we see the customers being in production excelling there. Um, no problem. [00:35:01] Rekha Thangellapalli: Where we’re seeing people still kind of in the pilot phase is those fully autonomous workflows where there is no human involved. The agent is reasoning on its own. Um, accessing multiple systems and taking an action on the user’s behalf. And what we’re seeing is that it’s not the intelligence of the agent that’s holding it back. [00:35:26] Rekha Thangellapalli: It’s more about giving the right context to the agent and having the right. Security kind of governance controls in place for the company to feel comfortable in putting these fully autonomous workflows into production. And that’s really the conversation we’re having is all right, what are the controls you need in place? [00:35:47] Rekha Thangellapalli: For you to release this to your business unit. Um, and what is the context that the agent is needed before we can comfortably let the agent make the decision on the user’s behalf? Um, James, I’d be interested to hear what you’re, what you’re seeing in the market [00:36:03] James Kang: plus one on all things context. I, I would even go so far as to say, um. [00:36:09] James Kang: H how many folks in the audience have heard of token maxing? Like this new term? [00:36:13] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah. Yeah. [00:36:14] James Kang: Um, I’ll, I’ll give a very specific example of, of Uber that went public. With the example of Claude, like they allowed all of their employees to use as many tokens as possible, and within the span of four months, they exhausted their full budget for the year, and so they had to pull back, and now there’s a cap on every employee. [00:36:33] James Kang: I think the number that’s circulating is $1,500 per month per employee, and so I think that is at least. In this multi-phase evolution of where we’re going to be and where we’re today, cost has become kind of the prohibitive force in terms of agentic AI at scale. Um, I think we are working on some very creative solutions in-house and Nvidia. [00:36:55] James Kang: Um. And we saw some really dynamic announcements this week when it comes to all things agent core, um, where we want to focus on very nimble ways for customers to be able to execute and go to market. And one extreme example of that is our investment within our open model strategy. So Nvidia, not only, again, providing GPUs, we actually offer our own op open models, which we call our Nitron models. [00:37:21] James Kang: And through our Nitron models, we are allowing customers to really develop and fine tune their own proprietary models in a cost effective manner. So right alongside the frontier models like OpenAI and Anthropic. It’s not a if then, it’s not an either or statement. It’s a, it’s a permutation, it’s an and So we’re giving you a cost effective alternative to not only bring your AgTech applications at scale by training on Nibo tron, which is open source, but then once you’ve kind of finished and fine tuned that specific training job to be able to. [00:37:53] James Kang: Go ahead and utilize your frontier models, whether it be OpenAI or Claude. And I know there’s other partners here that are providing those kind of different model capabilities. And so I think for us it’s, it’s a matter of choice. We know that this market is dynamic. It’s gonna be evolving over the next coming months as well as the next coming years. [00:38:10] James Kang: Uh, but we believe that we are positioned for a really unique dynamic expansion of AgTech use cases over the, at least the next three to six months. [00:38:20] Vince Menzione: Allison, for the partners in the room who are glazed over right now going, what do I, what do I do over the next 12 months? [00:38:26] Allison McFadden: Should I wake everybody up by saying, yeah, please. [00:38:27] Allison McFadden: Say go hurricanes. [00:38:28] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:38:29] Allison McFadden: Is there anyone, anybody? Everyone’s like, boo. I get to leave the parade today to go home to parade. I live in Raleigh, so we’ve got our parade on Saturday. Nice. [00:38:39] Vince Menzione: Nice. [00:38:40] Allison McFadden: All right. Wake up. Um, all right. So for the $50 million partners in the room, um. $50 million is not small. You have something that works. [00:38:50] Allison McFadden: Right. This is great. What I would be thinking about is, you know, we’ve talked about focus before, but really doubling down on, you know, what is, what is your industry, what is your client like, ideal client that you serve. And build, um, almost that kind of community. You know, the, the clients we have move from firm to firm to firm. [00:39:17] Allison McFadden: And if you’ve done good work at one, you’re gonna follow ’em to the next. Um, so build that client demand in a specific place or specific client profile that is just like really knocking it out out of the park for you. Um. Scale with marketplace, right? So if you, I, I love some of the data that you were sharing in your talk earlier, um, because it’s like no overhead scaling mechanism. [00:39:45] Allison McFadden: I mean, it’s, it’s fantastic. Um, Accenture, other GSIs like us, we are investing in marketplace. So we’re investing in resources, um, to help us. Use marketplace more with our clients and we’re gonna capture, right, those storefronts. And if you’re present on marketplace, you’re gonna be able to catch, uh, yourself in that wheel. [00:40:09] Allison McFadden: So I think those are the, the kind of couple of things I would say is focus, focus, focus to drive that client demand and use scaling mechanisms like marketplace to really kind of, uh, accelerate. [00:40:24] Vince Menzione: Matt, anything to add there on the. [00:40:26] Vince Menzione: Well just, you know, Ja, James, you, I love the token maxing reference in Uber and it reminds me, you remember when cloud came out and everyone was like, oh, all these people are, are gonna use the cloud and costs are outta control and. [00:40:39] Vince Menzione: Um, a lot of people pulled back from the cloud and, and a lot of those companies no longer exist. And it’s similar with, with, uh, token maxing, like, oh, these agents are outta control. You have a choice. You can embrace them and figure it out and get governance and, and make your data available. Um, use the partner, central agent, move to agent to co-sell, or you can fade and die. [00:40:58] Vince Menzione: And, and that’s, that’s where we’re at. Uh, is, is the, the companies sitting here today embraced the cloud years ago and won. Uh, and and there’s a set of companies here today who are gonna embrace agents in the, for both buyers and sellers, and will win. And there are those who won’t and they won’t win. And so for me, it’s like we’re, we’re at a, we’re at a crossroads. [00:41:18] Vince Menzione: And, and if you’re gonna win, you gotta leap into that, you know? I love it. And, uh, and, and, and it’s, it means the cost of experimentation is so much lower now. Development and, and even business development or software development is, is agent enabled. And so you can take risks, you can experiment and, and you have to, it’s, it’s an existential moment. [00:41:37] Vince Menzione: Agreed. We’ve got a couple minutes left over for any questions. What do you think? Sure. Are there any here. I think there are a couple. Yeah, we’ve got, we’ve got a co-sell question I’m sure coming up here. [00:41:51] Audience Member: Um, I’m Cassandra, I’m the CEO of Partner Tap. And one of the questions I had was, I think, you know, the co-selling between the sellers is where things get. Really, really hard when you’re multi-partner. And so when I was listening, um, with, you know, the Accenture and Elastic together, you talked about how you had, you, you had to get these BD business development people. [00:42:22] Audience Member: Um, is this a new team that is over the client team? And how do these teams interact like with the elastic sellers? Are you doing a lot of coaching to the field and then with if AWS sellers are, are involved, like what is that whole picture? What does look like, [00:42:43] Allison McFadden: like [00:42:44] Audience Member: on the ground? I mean, that is the hardest part, I think, and that’s what we hear. [00:42:48] Allison McFadden: It’s so, it’s so, it’s so tough. Um, and I will, I’ll just say, so our business development leaders that we now have kind of. Expanded their capacity. They have always been, they have always been there. Um, but they have not been well resourced. They haven’t, they haven’t had very clear kind of job description. [00:43:12] Allison McFadden: I’m gonna say I, in the past they have been kind of focused on partner relationship. And so like more like an alliance manager and maybe working on some of the data. Right? So when I say I have nightmares about Lars, because we’re always trying to increase the LAR for Accenture and, and they were focused like in those detailed weeds of like trying to pass ACE and trying to call the PDM and all this stuff. [00:43:39] Allison McFadden: What we are doing is really pivoting them to be proper sales, business development focused on client outcomes and focused on. Technical skills to be able to describe what this solution is to the field. So, um, and because we need, I have many, many questions about, I gotta get agents to work with Eurogen co-sell so that that part somehow goes away. [00:44:05] Allison McFadden: So that’s a, that’s the thing we gotta solve still, but, um, so we’re pivoting them to be kind of driving. More of that co-sell enablement with the field, um, and taking that message to the field rather than being there, waiting for questions to come in from the field, waiting for like our field teams to discover, oh, I saw something that we’re doing with Elastic, like on a press release on LinkedIn. [00:44:30] Allison McFadden: Right. So we’re kind of trying to pivot them to be more proactive. [00:44:33] Vince Menzione: Very cool. [00:44:34] Rekha Thangellapalli: Yeah. And uh, Cassandra, that’s an excellent question because I think. Multi-party, you know, sort of tri-party offerings. The hardest part is operationalizing it at scale, right? Yeah. And so for this particular offering, we are basically having three routes to market. [00:44:51] Rekha Thangellapalli: So one is seeing how this offering fits into our existing elastic go to market. And so I am constantly enabling our field sellers to say, okay, within our three field sales place, here’s exactly where this fits in. Here are, you know, uh. Keywords that you hear in customer conversations where you bring up this offering and here’s a process of how it works. [00:45:14] Rekha Thangellapalli: Um, exactly At what sales stage do I bring in Accenture, how, you know, what are the roles and expectations? Right? So that’s on the elastic side. We’re doing the same thing on the Accenture side. So we’re doing a ton of training enablement and lunch and learns, and we’re also looking at how do we fit into. [00:45:31] Rekha Thangellapalli: Uh, Accenture’s AI transformation projects, we are the semantic layer, right, of their enterprise brain. And so it’s a whole different sales motion, um, and, you know, having the right assets, having the right process again to make sure that that goes smoothly. And then finally, we’re going directly to the customer. [00:45:49] Rekha Thangellapalli: So we are launching multiple external campaigns where, you know, if the customer raises their hand. We will, we will line up immediately. Right. Um, and so, [00:46:01] Allison McFadden: I mean, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t say how important that third leg of the stool is. ’cause the second part, she talked about getting into our catalog is the first thing. [00:46:09] Allison McFadden: ’cause my BU business development leaders have the catalog. Right. And that’s what they’re selling. So what Elastic has done has gotten into one of those offerings and then. If we have a customer that asks for it, that is the fastest way to alignment. That is like the number one thing that we respond to [00:46:26] Vince Menzione: customer at the center. [00:46:27] Vince Menzione: This is great. Well, I think we’re up to time.

This week, I’m joined by wedding photographer Ash Muir, who shares the story of her incredibly stylish and joy-filled wedding day at Longfords Lake Ōkāreka. After spending years photographing weddings herself, Ash opens up about the pressure of planning your own wedding when you work in the industry, staying true to your style instead of trends, and creating a day that genuinely felt like them. Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THE LOVE LETTER BY LYDIA RACHEL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a fortnightly note from me with wedding inspiration, podcast highlights, real weddings I’m capturing, and a few things I’ve been loving. We chat about:

Preporod je mariborska skupina, ki je nastala pred 50 leti. Ime so si nadeli po peči, ki so jo izdelali zaporniki. Svojemu industrijskemu mestu so posvetili komad, v katerem je “reka puna klora” simbol Maribora. Melodija je ljudska, besedilo je napisal pokojni Smiljan Kreže, komad pa obožuje tudi navijaška skupina Viole. Pripovedujejo, igrajo in pojejo: Boris Bobek, Sašo Stojanovič, Darko Čerič in Luka Kreže. Zapiski: Maribor (Reka puna klora), originalna verzija Komadi: Zarjavele trobente Komadi: Proleter

Ker sta nas oba redna poslušalca opozorila, naj že enkrat nehamo skakati okoli vrele kaše in končno komentiramo pretekle volitve, moramo v javnem interesu to tudi storiti. Ne nazadnje smo po tem, ko so komentirali volitve tudi v glasbi po željah in kmetijskih nasvetih, ena zadnjih rubrik nacionalnega radia, ki tega še ni storila. Težava je namreč ta, da komentiranje volitev ni racionalna rabota. Ker stranke so pred volitvami zatrjevale, da bo po volitvah vse drugače, po volitvah pa je isto, kot je bilo pred njimi. Z drugimi besedami; če je razumni komentiral predvolilno dogajanje, ni nobene potrebe, da komentira povolilno dogajanje, ker je le to enako predvolilnemu. Ampak poskusimo … Kot smo videli, s klasičnimi metodami ne gre. Še najbolj ne gre z matematiko, ki je nacepljena na egotripe, napuh in omejen razum slovenske politične elite. Kakorkoli že seštevajo, nobena stran ne more do 46 glasov. Menda so poskusili tudi z umetno inteligenco, pa so sesuli server in so jih iz Silicijeve doline prosili, če tega ne bi več počeli. Tako smo pri nas ubrali povsem drugačno pot in poklicali na pomoč starodavno modrost, ki je skrita v bajeslovni tradiciji našega roda. Takole gre. »Živel je kmet. Imel je devetindvajset glasov in nekaj malega denarja. Odšel je na sejem, da si tam kupi nekaj dobrin, s katerimi bi Slovenijo popeljal do boljšega jutri. Tako je najprej nabavil volka, ki je imel osemindvajset glasov ter nepredvidljivo, v glavnem pa popadljivo nrav. Potem je kupil kozo, ki je imela devet glasov, devet življenj in troje vimen. Nato je kupil zeljno glavo. Zeljna glava je imela šest glasov, bila je levo usmerjena in rahlo nagnita. Z vsemi temi novimi nakupi, s katerimi je kmet poskušal izboljšati življenje sebi in Sloveniji, je prišel do desnega brega reke. Reka je bila precej nova, narasla in je imela šest glasov ter v glavnem ni imela pojma, v katero smer naj teče. Ob robu reke je ležal čoln. Rahlo je razpadal, užival je v vožnji na levi breg, drugače pa je bil soliden čoln s petimi glasovi. V čolnu je bilo teslo, oprostite veslo, prav tako s petimi glasovi, ki ni znalo drugega, kot mlatiti po reki. Ko je tako prišel na desni breg, je kmet uvidel problem. Vsega trojega ne bo mogel prepeljati, ker so imeli on, volk, koza in zeljna glava pretežke karakterje ter bi čoln potopili. Čoln je bil prešibek, reka predivja, teslo, pardon veslo, pa neuporabno. Tako je moral čez reko svoje nakupe popeljati posamezno. Enega po enega torej. Ampak kako? Če prepelje volka in pusti na desnem bregu kozo in zeljno glavo, bo koza pojedla zelje. Enako se zgodi, ko ju oba prepelje na levi breg. Prav tako ne more najprej prepeljati zelja ter pustiti na desnem bregu koze z volkom, ker bo volk požrl kozo; še bolj pa jo bo požrl na levem bregu, ker, kot je bilo znano, volkovi, kljub temu da so se tam rodili, na levem bregu povsem znorijo. Ko je kmet tako razmišljal, a se ni mogel domisliti rešitve, ker resnici na ljubo – kmet je bil bolj kratke pameti – se je na nebu pokazal stric iz ozadja in mu ponudil rešitev problema. Kmet naj prepelje na levi breg najprej kozo, nato prepelje zelje, ker zelja ne sme pustiti s kozo, vrne kozo na desni breg, kamor spada, pobere volka in se vrne nazaj po kozo. Torej opravi eno vožnjo več, oziroma naredi korak nazaj. Kmetu tako stric iz ozadja svetuje, kako naj sestavi koalicijo, a kmet ni pripravljen narediti koraka nazaj, oziroma opraviti ene vožnje več, ker je, kot rečeno, rahlo omejen, len in se mu ne ljubi. Zato nabaše v čoln vse troje in se poda na reko. S teslom, pardon, veslom, mlati po reki, ki teče, bog ve, v katero smer; koza začne gristi zelje, volk napade kozo, čoln se zamaje in potopi, reka pogoltne kozo, kmeta, volka in zelje, le teslo, pardon veslo, ostane na gladini. Z udeleženci te povesti se potopijo tudi vsi glasovi, zato je mati Demokracija našla novega kmeta, ki je šel ponovno na tržnico, in je ponovno, da bo njegovo življenje in življenje vseh Slovencev boljše, kupil kozo, volka in zeljno glavo.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Against the Cold: A Journey of Friendship and Ambition Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-12-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tél zord hidege mindenütt jelen volt.En: The harsh cold of winter was present everywhere.Hu: A hó lágyan hullott, vastag fehér takarót képezve a dombokon.En: The snow fell softly, forming a thick white blanket over the hills.Hu: Egy nagy, fehér sátor állt a havas táj közepén, ahol egy terepi kórház várta az iskolás csoportokat.En: A large, white tent stood in the middle of the snowy landscape, where a field hospital awaited school groups.Hu: Diákok áramlottak be, csizmájuk alatt nyikorogva a hó, miközben izgatottan suttogtak az új élmény miatt.En: Students streamed in, the snow creaking under their boots as they whispered excitedly about the new experience.Hu: Reka és Laszlo is ott voltak köztük.En: Reka and Laszlo were among them.Hu: Reka mindig is egy orvosi karrierről álmodott, ezért izgatottan forgatta fejét körbe-körbe, hogy mindent lásson.En: Reka had always dreamed of a medical career, so she eagerly turned her head around to see everything.Hu: Laszlo, legjobb barátja, azonban kevésbé lelkesedett a kórházi környezetért.En: Laszlo, her best friend, however, was less enthusiastic about the hospital environment.Hu: Egy régi családi betegség miatt tartózkodóbb volt.En: Due to a past family illness, he was more reserved.Hu: Ahogy beléptek a sátorba, Reka szeme csillogott az érdeklődéstől.En: As they entered the tent, Reka's eyes shone with curiosity.Hu: Az ágyakon betegek feküdtek, a padlót orvosi eszközök borították.En: Patients lay in the beds, and the floor was covered with medical instruments.Hu: Az orvos, aki fogadta őket, határozott és megnyugtató hangon magyarázott mindenről, amit látni fognak.En: The doctor who welcomed them explained everything they would see in a firm and reassuring voice.Hu: "Ez egy csodás lehetőség," mondta Reka Laszlonak, aki összefont karokkal állt mellette.En: "This is a wonderful opportunity," Reka said to Laszlo, who was standing beside her with crossed arms.Hu: "Képzeld el, mennyit tanulhatok!En: "Imagine how much I can learn!"Hu: "Laszlo sóhajtott.En: Laszlo sighed.Hu: "Tudom, hogy téged ez érdekel, de számomra a kórházak csak a betegségről szólnak.En: "I know you're interested in this, but for me, hospitals are just about illness."Hu: "Reka hallgatta, ami Laszlot zavarta.En: Reka listened to what troubled Laszlo.Hu: Tudta, hogy el kellene mondania, miért ilyen negatív, de nem akarta megsérteni a hangulatot.En: She knew he should tell her why he felt so negative, but she didn't want to ruin the mood.Hu: Aztán döntést hozott.En: Then she made a decision.Hu: Délután, amikor a nap sugarai elhalványultak a havas tájon, Reka a mező szélén Laszlo elé állt.En: In the afternoon, as the sun's rays faded over the snowy landscape, Reka stood before Laszlo at the edge of the field.Hu: "Laszlo, meg kell értenem, hogy miért érzed így," kezdte bátortalanul, felló nézve a fiatalember szemébe.En: "Laszlo, I need to understand why you feel this way," she began tentatively, looking into the young man's eyes.Hu: "Ez a nap fontos nekem, és szeretném, ha velem együtt élveznéd.En: "This day is important to me, and I'd love for you to enjoy it with me."Hu: "Laszlo sóhajtott, majd elmondta a családjában történt dolgot.En: Laszlo sighed, then shared what had happened in his family.Hu: Reka bólintott, szavakat keresett, amelyek megnyugtatnák Laszlot.En: Reka nodded, searching for words to comfort Laszlo.Hu: "Tudod, az orvosok segítenek," mondta halkan.En: "You know, doctors help," she said softly.Hu: "Segíthetünk másokon, és talán jobban is fogod látni ezt, ha megpróbálod.En: "We can help others, and maybe you'll see this better if you try."Hu: "Laszlo egy pillanatra csendben maradt.En: Laszlo was silent for a moment.Hu: Majd bólintott.En: Then he nodded.Hu: "Igazad van.En: "You're right.Hu: Nem vagyok tisztességes veled.En: I'm not being fair to you."Hu: "Másnap, Valentin-napon, Reka szíve a torkában dobogott.En: The next day, on Valentine's Day, Reka's heart pounded in her chest.Hu: Az orvos ismét fogadott mindenkit, és Reka eldöntötte, hogy bátor lesz.En: The doctor once again welcomed everyone, and Reka decided to be brave.Hu: Még a látogató doktor elé állt, és kérdésekkel kezdte bombardálni.En: She even went up to the visiting doctor and began bombarding him with questions.Hu: Minden válasz csak még inkább növelte vágyát a tudásra és a segítségnyújtásra.En: Every answer only increased her desire for knowledge and to help others.Hu: Laszlo eközben háttérbe húzódott, hallgatta Reka lelkesedését, szívverése lassan megnyugodott.En: Meanwhile, Laszlo stayed in the background, listening to Reka's enthusiasm, his heartbeat slowly calming down.Hu: Valami változott benne.En: Something changed in him.Hu: Látta barátja szenvedélyét és eltökéltségét, és ettől jobban megértette, mit is jelent az orvosi hivatás.En: He saw his friend's passion and determination, and it helped him better understand what the medical profession truly means.Hu: Ahogy véget ért a nap, Laszlo odalépett Rekához.En: As the day came to an end, Laszlo approached Reka.Hu: "Sajnálom, hogy eddig ellene voltam," mondta.En: "I'm sorry for being against it until now," he said.Hu: "Támogatni foglak, ahogy csak tudlak.En: "I will support you as best as I can."Hu: "Reka elmosolyodott.En: Reka smiled.Hu: "Köszönöm," válaszolta.En: "Thank you," she replied.Hu: "Ez nagyon sokat jelent nekem.En: "That means a lot to me."Hu: "A két barát a hóban indul hazafelé.En: The two friends headed home through the snow.Hu: A világ talán hideg volt és kemény, de mindketten valami meleget találtak a szívük mélyén: az igaz barátság erejét és a jövőben rejlő lehetőségeket.En: The world might have been cold and harsh, but they both found something warm deep down in their hearts: the strength of true friendship and the possibilities that the future held.

In Episode 41 of Chain Reactions, we're joined by Reka, Director of Marketing at Boundless, to unpack how she helped turn one of the most complex concepts in crypto, zero knowledge proofs, into a cultural movement powered by memes, design, and deeply intentional storytelling.We dive into her unconventional path to crypto (via meditation retreats and digital products), the early days of building Boundless from scratch, and how the team pulled off a record-breaking TGE by combining community campaigns, team-led marketing, and a clear narrative around verifiable compute, aka “berrifiable compute.”We also dig into:• Why Boundless skipped the “hype then disappear” model in favor of building lasting trust• The multi-phase campaign journey from Proof of Berry to Signal• How to win over technical teams who don't believe in marketing (yet)• Why conviction and positioning are the only two levers that matter• And how a “Berry” meme became the most recognizable brand in zero knowledgeThis one's a masterclass in crypto storytelling, community design, and how to make highly technical infrastructure feel both delightful and inevitable.Mint the episode at pods.media/myosinxyz

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Family Secrets Unveiled: The Lost Medal Mystery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-07-28-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Egy forró nyári délután zajlott a történet kezdete.En: The beginning of the story unfolded on a hot summer afternoon.Hu: A nap sugarai aranyló fényben fürösztötték a budapesti külvárosában álló, régi családi házat.En: The rays of the sun bathed the old family house, located in the outskirts of Budapest, in golden light.Hu: Zoltán az íróasztalánál ült, körülvéve az összes családi dokumentummal, amelyet csak talált.En: Zoltán sat at his desk, surrounded by all the family documents he could find.Hu: Régi fényképek, megsárgult levelek és egy csomagolópapírba burkolt családfa.En: Old photographs, yellowed letters, and a family tree wrapped in wrapping paper.Hu: Szívét nehézséggel töltötte el a régi bronz medál elvesztése, ami családjuk történetének fontos darabja volt.En: His heart was heavy with the loss of the old bronze medal, an important piece of their family's history.Hu: Réka, aki most Londonban élt, mindeközben művészi vénájával próbálta élénkebbé tenni otthonát.En: Réka, who now lived in London, was trying to enliven her home with her artistic flair.Hu: Az éjjeliszekrényén még mindig ott volt egy kis vázában a tarka virágok, amit Zoltán küldött neki születésnapjára.En: On her nightstand, there was still a small vase with colorful flowers that Zoltán had sent her for her birthday.Hu: Bár messze voltak egymástól, továbbra is kapcsolatban maradtak, és Zoltán reménykedett benne, hogy Reka más perspektívája segíthet megoldani a rejtélyt.En: Although they were far apart, they remained in contact, and Zoltán hoped that Réka's different perspective could help solve the mystery.Hu: A St. István napja hamarosan megérkezett, de Zoltánnak egyetlen cél lebegett a szeme előtt: visszaszerezni a családi ereklyét.En: St. István's Day was approaching soon, but Zoltán had a single goal in mind: to reclaim the family heirloom.Hu: Egyik este, miközben eső verte az ablakot, Zoltán hosszú emailt írt Rekának.En: One evening, as rain battered the window, Zoltán wrote a long email to Réka.Hu: Bepillanthatott a családi történetekbe, melyekben úgy hitte, megtalálhatja a titkot.En: He offered her a glimpse into the family stories he believed might hold the secret.Hu: Réka Londonban, a modern, világos lakásában, türelmesen olvasta Zoltán sorait.En: In London, in her modern, bright apartment, Réka patiently read Zoltán's lines.Hu: Egy éjszaka, miközben a vihar az ablakokat rázta, valami érdekesre bukkant az egyik családi sztoriban: a nagypapa régen mindig egy vastag családi könyvben rejtett el különleges dolgokat.En: One night, as the storm shook the windows, she stumbled upon something intriguing in one of the family stories: their grandfather always hid special things in a thick family book.Hu: Felhívta Zoltánt, az ötlettől vezérelve: „Nézd meg a könyvespolcokat! Talán ott találod!”En: She called Zoltán, inspired by the idea: "Check the bookshelves! Maybe you'll find it there!"Hu: Másnap Zoltán bement a könyvtárszobába, ahol a poros kötetek magas tornya állt.En: The next day, Zoltán went into the library room, where towers of dusty volumes stood.Hu: Átnézte a könyveket, egyiket a másik után.En: He went through the books, one after another.Hu: Végül, amikor a legvastagabb könyv kinyitotta az ajkaját, egy nehezen észrevehető odalevésébe rejtve ott volt a bronz medál.En: Finally, when the thickest book opened its jaws, hidden in a barely noticeable cut-out, lay the bronze medal.Hu: Zoltán felemelte, és úgy érezte, mintha a világ minden kincse az övé lenne.En: Zoltán picked it up and felt as if he owned all the treasures of the world.Hu: A családtagok összegyűltek, mind örömmel nézték a rég elveszett medált.En: Family members gathered, all watching the long-lost medal with joy.Hu: Zoltán, a békítő, szót emelt a családi viták ellen, és mindannyian egyetértettek abban, hogy közösen ünneplik örökségüket a közelgő St. István napján.En: Zoltán, the peacemaker, spoke up against family disputes, and they all agreed to celebrate their heritage together on the upcoming St. István's Day.Hu: Zoltán azzal zárta le a napot, hogy megköszönte Rekának a kitartását és ösztönzését.En: Zoltán ended the day by thanking Réka for her perseverance and encouragement.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy nyitott szívvel és elmével látni, valódi kincs lehet.En: He learned that seeing with an open heart and mind can be a true treasure.Hu: Rájött, hogy a kommunikáció és a bizalom a legerősebb kapcsolatok alapjai, legyenek azok a családban vagy a szerelemben.En: He realized that communication and trust are the foundations of the strongest relationships, whether in family or love.Hu: Zoltán és Reka tudták, hogy összetartoznak, és a távolság csupán egy apró részlet az életükben.En: Zoltán and Réka knew they belonged together, and the distance was just a minor detail in their lives.Hu: A bronz medál tehát visszatért a családhoz, és a béke helyreállt.En: Thus, the bronze medal returned to the family, and peace was restored.Hu: A nap melegen sütött azon a St. István napján, a legenda és a családi szeretet napján.En: The sun shone warmly on that St. István's Day, the day of legend and family love.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Facing Fears: A Final Adventure in the Haunted Warehouse Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-24-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap forrósága felperzselte a város köveit, amikor Zoltán lépteit figyelte, ahogy a régi, elhagyatott raktár felé ment.En: The heat of the sun scorched the city's stones as Zoltán watched his steps heading towards the old, abandoned warehouse.Hu: Ez volt a középiskola utolsó napja, és a nyár kezdete.En: It was the last day of high school and the beginning of summer.Hu: Zoltán érezte a szabadság izgató ízét, de a jövő félelmetes ismeretlensége is nyugtalanította.En: Zoltán felt the thrilling taste of freedom, but the frightening unknown of the future also unsettled him.Hu: Mellette Reka sétált, mindig kész új kalandokra, de most ő is kissé vonakodott.En: Beside him walked Reka, always ready for new adventures, but now she was slightly reluctant too.Hu: A raktár régóta elhagyatott volt, és a környéken azt suttogták, hogy kísértenek benne.En: The warehouse had been abandoned for a long time, and it was whispered in the neighborhood that it was haunted.Hu: Az épület falain élénk graffiti rajzai díszelegtek, régi életek színes maradványai.En: The building's walls were adorned with vibrant graffiti, colorful remnants of past lives.Hu: Az üvegtörmelék és a por vastagon borította a padlót, miközben a napfény vékony sugarakban táncolt a réseken keresztül, rémisztő árnyékokat vetítve a kopott földre.En: Glass shards and dust thickly covered the floor, while sunlight danced in thin beams through the cracks, casting eerie shadows on the worn ground.Hu: Zoltán bátorságot merített magában, és Rekának így szólt:„Gyerünk, fedezzük fel!En: Zoltán gathered courage and said to Reka: "Come on, let's explore!Hu: Kalandot akarok, mielőtt különválnak útjaink.En: I want an adventure before our paths part."Hu: ”Reka visszafogottan mosolygott, de szemeiben az izgalom csillogott.En: Reka smiled reservedly, but excitement sparkled in her eyes.Hu: „És ha tényleg van bent valami?En: "And what if there really is something in there?"Hu: ” kérdezte tréfásan, de hangjában megbújt a bizonytalanság.En: she asked playfully, yet there was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.Hu: „Csak egy macska,” viccelődött Zoltán, bár ő maga sem volt biztos benne.En: "Just a cat," Zoltán joked, although he himself wasn't sure.Hu: Tudta, hogy fél az ismeretlentől, ahogy attól is tartott, mi vár rá az iskola után.En: He knew he feared the unknown, just as he was worried about what awaited him after school.Hu: Ahogy beléptek az épületbe, Zoltán szíve vadul kalapált.En: As they entered the building, Zoltán's heart pounded wildly.Hu: Az eddig csendes raktár hirtelen életre kelt egy hangos zörejjel.En: The previously silent warehouse suddenly sprang to life with a loud noise.Hu: Mindketten összerezzentek, Reka kézébe kapaszkodott.En: They both flinched, and Reka clutched his hand.Hu: A hang visszhangzott a hideg falakon.En: The sound echoed through the cold walls.Hu: Zoltán mély levegőt vett, és megállt egy pillanatra.En: Zoltán took a deep breath and paused for a moment.Hu: „Néha félni kell,” gondolta, „hogy végül bátrabbak legyünk.En: "Sometimes we have to be afraid," he thought, "so we can eventually be braver."Hu: ” Ekkor látta a sarkában megjelenő, szőrös részletet – egy macska szaladt el ijedten.En: Then he saw a furry detail appear in the corner – a cat ran away startled.Hu: Nevettek, és a szívük megkönnyebbült.En: They laughed, and their hearts felt lighter.Hu: „Csak egy macska volt, igazad volt!En: "It was just a cat, you were right!"Hu: ” mondta Reka, miközben Zoltán vállán kacagott.En: Reka said, laughing on Zoltán's shoulder.Hu: „Igen, csak egy macska,” felelte Zoltán elégedetten, de közben rájött, hogy nemcsak a macskától való félelmet győzte le.En: "Yes, just a cat," replied Zoltán contentedly, but he realized he had overcome more than just the fear of the cat.Hu: A jövő hirtelen kevésbé tűnt ijesztőnek.En: The future suddenly seemed less frightening.Hu: Kifelé menet Reka megállt, és komolyan nézett barátjára.En: As they headed out, Reka stopped and looked at her friend seriously.Hu: „Ne feledd megkeresni, ha messze leszel!En: "Don't forget to reach out if you're far away!"Hu: ”Zoltán vállon veregette.En: Zoltán patted her on the shoulder.Hu: „Mindig tartjuk a kapcsolatot.En: "We'll always stay in touch.Hu: És új kalandok várnak ránk.En: And new adventures await us."Hu: ”Ahogy távolodtak a raktártól, Zoltán érezte, hogy már nem fél annyira az előttük álló kihívásoktól.En: As they moved away from the warehouse, Zoltán felt less afraid of the challenges ahead.Hu: Aznap délután nemcsak egy kalanddal gazdagodtak, hanem a barátságukkal is, mely túléli majd a távolságot is.En: That afternoon they gained not only an adventure but also a friendship that would survive even the distance.

This week, I'm talking to Reka and Dorina, the founders of Budapest Racquet Society—or BRS—in, you guessed it, Budapest.We're in the early days of this new tennis club movement, but something exciting is definitely happening at the intersection of social community and sports. Running and training have paved the way, and now tennis is stepping into the spotlight—and it's emerging fast.For a certain generation, the concept of social community is second nature. People are craving connection and movement, whether it's reconnecting with something they loved as kids or finally trying something they've always wanted to but found intimidating. Tennis has traditionally carried that air of exclusivity, but these new clubs are flipping the script. They're all about connection, community, and a genuine passion for the sport. BRS is a perfect example, making serious waves in Budapest's tennis scene.In this episode, we dive into Reka and Dorina's tennis backgrounds, the tennis culture in Hungary, and why Budapest seems especially welcoming to this new style of club. What I love about BRS and others like it is their focus on individuality and inclusivity. On court, with a racquet in hand, you're simply a tennis player—no clichés required. At its core, the draw of these clubs goes beyond the sport. It's about fun—the joy of being on court, moving, learning, and improving alongside others. Honestly, life doesn't get much better than that.A huge thanks to Dorina and Reka for sharing their time and for what they're doing for tennis in Budapest. I'm a big fan of the sport and all these new clubs popping up around the world.As always, share this pod with like-minded people or anyone who's thought about getting into tennis or racquet sports but didn't know where to start. Chances are, there's a club like BRS in a city near you—find them, get on court, and get involved.From Chris and me, peace.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Easter Harmony: A Tale of Friendship and Courage at Budapest High Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-03-06-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Ahogy az iskola folyosói megéltek a tavaszi napfényt, a sarokban csodás húsvéti dekorációk figyeltek.En: As the school corridors basked in the spring sunlight, beautiful Easter decorations observed from the corners.Hu: Virágok illata töltötte be a helyiséget, ami egy különös varázst adott a budapesti középiskola légterének.En: The scent of flowers filled the place, giving a peculiar charm to the atmosphere of the Budapest high school.Hu: A tanulók izgatott suttogása visszhangzott a falaik között, mindeni a közelgő tavaszi tehetségkutatóra készülődött.En: The excited whispers of the students echoed within the walls, as everyone prepared for the upcoming spring talent show.Hu: Bence, a tehetséges énekes, akinek álma az volt, hogy lenyűgözi a feltételezett tehetségkutatókat, feszülten gyakorolt.En: Bence, the talented singer whose dream was to impress the presumed talent scouts, practiced tensely.Hu: Réka, a legjobb barátja, hűségesen mellette ült a zongoránál, de a szíve titkok salamoni pánikját zubogott.En: Réka, his best friend, sat faithfully by him at the piano, but inside her heart, the panic of unspeakable secrets raged.Hu: – Tudod, Reka – kezdte Bence, miközben takarította a torkát.En: "You know, Réka," began Bence, clearing his throat.Hu: – Nagy esély ez számunkra.En: "This is a big opportunity for us.Hu: Tökéletesnek kell lennie.En: It has to be perfect."Hu: Réka bólintott, bár kezei remegtek a billentyűkön.En: Réka nodded, though her hands trembled on the keys.Hu: Inkább élvezni szerette volna a fellépést, de belső félelmei újra felszínre törtek.En: She preferred to enjoy the performance, but her inner fears resurfaced again.Hu: Az ujjak tétován csúsztak a zongorabillentyűkön, szeme pedig idegesen követelt pihenést.En: Her fingers hesitated over the piano keys, and her eyes nervously demanded rest.Hu: Ahogy a próbák folytatódtak, Bence észrevette Réka nyugtalanságát.En: As the rehearsals continued, Bence noticed Réka's restlessness.Hu: Egy nap a próbateremben Réka hirtelen megállt.En: One day in the rehearsal room, Réka suddenly stopped.Hu: Lélegzete felgyorsult, majd kitört belőle:– Nem megy.En: Her breath accelerated, then she burst out: "I can't.Hu: Nem vagyok elég jó ehhez!En: I'm not good enough for this!"Hu: – Reka, várj!En: "Réka, wait!"Hu: – mondta Bence, átkarolva.En: said Bence, embracing her.Hu: – Nem tűnt fel, hogy ennyire aggódsz.En: "I didn't realize you were so worried.Hu: Segíteni akarok, nem nyomást helyezni rád.En: I want to help you, not pressure you."Hu: Ezután Bence kitalálta, hogyan támogathatná Rékát ahelyett, hogy tovább nyomná.En: Then, Bence figured out how he could support Réka instead of pushing her further.Hu: Napokig csak beszélgettek, nevettek, és kisebb fellépéseket tartottak az osztálytársak előtt, hogy Réka megszokja a nézőket.En: For days, they just talked, laughed, and held smaller performances in front of classmates, so Réka could get used to the audience.Hu: A nagy bemutató napja gyorsan elérkezett.En: The day of the big show arrived quickly.Hu: Az aula tele volt izguló diákokkal, tanárokkal és néhány kívülállóval, akik a falakat díszítő húsvéti koszorúkat csodálták.En: The auditorium was filled with excited students, teachers, and some outsiders who admired the Easter wreaths decorating the walls.Hu: Ahogy Bence és Réka színpadra léptek, a nézők elcsendesedtek.En: As Bence and Réka stepped onto the stage, the audience quieted.Hu: A lámpák fénye barátságosan érintette a duót.En: The light's glow touched the duo warmly.Hu: Bence felsóhajtott, majd Rékára nézett.En: Bence sighed, then looked at Réka.Hu: Egy bátorító mosoly kíséretében kezdte az éneklést, és Réka csatlakozott hozzá.En: With an encouraging smile, he started singing, and Réka joined him.Hu: Bár nem volt minden hang és akkord tökéletes, a közönség érezte a kettejük közötti harmóniát és örömöt.En: Although not every note and chord was perfect, the audience felt the harmony and joy between the two.Hu: A tapsvihar megérdemelten zúgott fel a terem falai között.En: The applause deservedly roared within the room's walls.Hu: Az esemény után Bence és Réka kicsit hátrébb húzódtak a tömegtől.En: After the event, Bence and Réka stepped back a bit from the crowd.Hu: Mindketten megkönnyebbülten nevettek, mert rájöttek, hogy a tökéletességnél sokkal fontosabb a közös élmény volt.En: Both laughed with relief, realizing that the shared experience was far more important than perfection.Hu: – Köszönöm, Bence – szólt Reka, mosollyal az arcán.En: "Thank you, Bence," said Réka, smiling.Hu: – Segítettél kiűzni a félelmet.En: "You helped me banish the fear."Hu: – Te voltál a legjobb partner – válaszolta Bence.En: "You were the best partner," replied Bence.Hu: – Rájöttem, hogy a csapatmunka és a barátság sokkal fontosabb.En: "I realized that teamwork and friendship are much more important."Hu: A tavasz újraélesztette a reményt és önbizalmat a szívükben, ahogy együtt indultak el az új kalandok felé a budapesti tavasz melegében.En: Spring rekindled hope and confidence in their hearts as they set out together on new adventures in the warmth of Budapest's spring.

Singapore's GovTech is hosting an AI CTF challenge with ~$15,000 in prizes, starting October 26th, open to both local and virtual hackers. It will be hosted on Dreadnode's Crucible platform; signup here!It is common to say if you want to work in AI, you should come to San Francisco. Not everyone can. Not everyone should. If you can only do meaningful AI work in one city, then AI has failed to generalize meaningfully.As non-Americans working in the US, we know what it's like to see AI progress so rapidly here, and yet be at a loss for what our home countries can do. Through Latent Space we've tried to tell the story of AI outside of the Bay Area bubble; we talked to Notion in New York and Humanloop and Wondercraft in London and HuggingFace in Paris and ICLR in Vienna, and the Reka, RWKV, and Winds of AI Winter episodes were taped in Singapore (the World's Fair also had Latin America representation and we intend to at least add China, Japan, and India next year).The Role of Government with AIAs an intentionally technical resource, we've mostly steered clear of regulation and safety debates on the podcast; whether it is safety bills or technoalarmism, often at the cost of our engagement numbers or ability to book big name guests with a political agenda. When SOTA shifts 3x faster than it takes to pass a law, when nobody agrees on definitions of important things, when you can elicit never-before-seen behavior by slightly different prompting or sampling, it is hard enough to simply keep up to speed, so we are happy limiting our role to that. The story of AI progress has more often been achieved in the private sector, usually in spite of, rather than with thanks to, government intervention.But industrial policy is inextricably linked to the business of AI, which we do very much care about, has an explicitly accelerationist intent if not impact, and has a track record of success in correcting for legitimate market failures in private sector investment, particularly outside of the US. It is with this lens we approach today's episode and special guest, our first with a sitting Cabinet member.Singapore's National AI StrategyIt is well understood that much of Singapore's economic success is attributable to industrial policy, from direct efforts like the Jurong Town Corporation industrialization to indirect ones like going all in on English as national first language. Singapore's National AI Strategy grew out of its 2014 Smart Nation initiative, first launched in 2019 and then refreshed in 2023 by Minister Josephine Teo, our guest today.While Singapore is not often thought of as an AI leader, the National University ranks in the top 10 in publications (above Oxford/Harvard!), and many overseas Singaporeans work at the leading AI companies and institutions in the US (and some of us even run leading AI Substacks?). OpenAI has often publicly named the Singapore government as their model example of government collaborator and is opening an office in Singapore in time for DevDay 2024.AI Engineer NationsSwyx first pitched the AI Engineer Nation concept at a private Sovereign AI summit featuring Dr. He Ruimin, Chief AI Officer of Singapore, which eventually led to an invitation to discuss the concept with Minister Teo, the country's de-facto minister for tech (she calls it Digital Development, for good reasons she explains in the pod).This chat happened (with thanks to Jing Long, Joyce, and other folks from MDDI)!The central pitch for any country, not just Singapore, to emphasize and concentrate bets on AI Engineers, compared with other valuable efforts like training more researchers, releasing more government-approved data, or offering more AI funding, is a calculated one, based on the fact that: * GPU clusters and researchers have massive returns to scale and colocation, mostly concentrated in the US, that are irresponsibly expensive to replicate* Even if research stopped today and there was no progress for the next 30 years, there are far more capabilities to unlock and productize from existing foundation models and we

Welcome to this episode of the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. For this first episode of season 3, I had the pleasure of speaking with Reka Bakos, and Anna Fenyvesi, and they are the authors of the book, Hungarian Roots and American Dreams. Their book is a compilation of people telling stories about their Hungarian family members who emigrated to the United States from Hungary, and some who also returned to Hungary. We are going to discuss how their book started out as an idea about researching their own family trees and sharing stories about Hungarian Heritages. Then, shortly after Reka and Anna met,  the stars aligned for them and they collaborated to transform the collected stories into a new book that is dedicated to preserving and sharing the histories of Hungarian immigrants and their descendants. Listen along as we explore all of this, and so much more.Below, you will find information about how you can connect with Reka and Anna and for how you can purchase a copy of their new book. If you have feedback or questions about this episode or you would like to connect with me at the podcast, you will also find all of the ways to contact me below.  If you've enjoyed this episode and you're interested in learning more about this Hungarian Heritage community, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Erik ten Hag getur ekki lifað mikið lengur í starfi hjá Manchester United. Það er bara svoleiðis, United hlýtur að fara að reka hann. United tapaði 0-3 gegn Tottenham í gær en það var farið vel yfir það í Enski boltinn hlaðvarpinu í dag. Tryggvi Páll Tryggvason var á línunni og fór yfir leikinn í gær. Chelsea stuðningsmennirnir Haraldur Örn Haraldsson og Stefán Marteinn Ólafsson eru þá gestir og fara yfir flotta byrjun Chelsea á tímabilinu. Cole (Cold) Palmer fór á kostum um helgina.
