“You have to be really agile and flexible, but also really stubborn about the problems you're going to solve,” says Alan Chiu, co-founder of Boba and its contributing company Enya.ai, about the dual attributes successful founders must possess. Blockchain technology, similarly, is a balance of traits. On one hand, it  offers a number of opportunities. The open source format and permissionless entree allow people who might otherwise be hindered by their geographical location, race, gender access to a business's information. This transparency has the potential to decentralize power, and form a system of checks and balances that keep everyone more honest. However, this type of demand on the system leads to slower performance and higher costs. This is where Boba comes in, as it's the only blockchain platform that takes advantage of blockchain's features while utilizing the sustainability of Web 2 infrastructure.  Alan discusses how the blockchain model makes money, how to identify the right time to execute on a plan. He talks about the most difficult aspect of scaling and how he approaches risk. First and foremost you must evaluate the founders when deciding to invest in companies, and that those founders must have a balance of strong convictions and openness to new ideas and methods.  Continuing the theme of balance, Alan discusses how he manages both the longterm and shortterm goals of his team. He gives his thoughts on the most common mistakes founders make when starting a company, and the most common reason they fail to scale.  Quotes: “If these cryptocurrencies increase in value, you are starting to build a pretty interesting portfolio without being subject to biases against age, gender, ethnicity, geographical location. And that's really powerful. This is the type of opportunity that used to be reserved for Silicon Valley engineers. Now anyone in the world can have access to. (9:05-9:29 | Alan) “The reason blockchains are always going to be much slower than a traditional web two infrastructure like AWS is because there's a cost to synchronizing all of these mills that the mega blockchain network with these centralized, the decentralized nature of blockchains is both a feature but also puts a limit on how many transactions you can do per unit time.” (13:26-13:47 | Alan) For any disruptive technology, in the early days, it's really hard to come up with something quantifiable and justify that with data, because everything is so new. (17:48-18:01 | Alan) “One of the most difficult aspects of being a founder is, on one hand, you've got to have strong conviction around your vision because there's going to be a lot of headwind and a lot of uncertainty, if you don't have strong conviction, it's really hard to sustain. On the other hand, you've got to be really open to advice and feedback, especially feedback from customers, whether they want what you're building or not. You're learning and adapting and changing to your customer feedback, and also to a changing competitive landscape and market dynamics and new technologies that continue to evolve.” (20:47-21:20 | Alan)  “Sometimes the best path forward is actually not commercializing the innovation itself. But finding some application for the innovation in a product or service. And commercializing that instead, and using the core innovation as a creative driver of a competitive advantage.” (52:01-53:01 | Alan) Links: Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926  Connect with Alan Chiu:Twitter:@alanchiuhttps://www.enya.ai/Check out Alan Chiu's recommended books:   Connect: Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780593237090   The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780142001103   The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom by Henri J.M.

Somen « Steve » Banerjee ne rêve que d'une chose : accomplir le rêve américain et que ses parents indiens soient fiers de lui. Il a de grands projets, son amour pour l'élégance à l'américaine le pousse à ouvrir un club de backgammon (oui, le jeu) de haut standing. Bientôt, il réalise que ce n'est pas ce concept qui va lui rapporter de l'argent mais plutôt un club de danseurs qui se dénudent pour les beaux yeux d'une clientèle féminine. Après Pam & Tommy, Robert Siegel sort un nouveau titre pour Hulu. Welcome to Chippendales est disponible à partir du 11 janvier sur Disney+. https://youtu.be/z-2ndEHoT88 Cette histoire vraie est donc inspirée de Somen Banerjee, un immigré indien qui voulait gravir l'échelle de l'ascension sociale dans les années 80. Kumail Nanjiani a pris un tournant dans sa carrière après avoir tâté des rôles comiques dans Silicon Valley, le voici en plein essor en jouant des personnages plus dramatiques. Son Banerjee ambitieux qui manque un peu de confiance en lui à cause de ses origines mais doué d'une fibre pour les affaires, sait montrer sa vulnérabilité mais également sa jalousie. Il trouve l'amour en la personne d'Irene (Annaleigh Ashford) et fait preuve d'impulsivité, de stratagème tout en ses montrant impitoyable. Mais ce qu'il manquait à son Chippendales avant de devenir culte, c'est l'élément Nick De Noia (sous les traits de Murray Bartlett). Le vrai chorégraphe nommé aux Emmy Awards sur le déclin va regagner en popularité en prenant en charge la direction artistique du club et préparera des chorégraphies inoubliables. Mention spéciale à Bartlett qui depuis le reboot des Chroniques de San Francisco se retrouve vraiment partout de The White Lotus à Physical avec son charisme à toute épreuve et intemporel. D'ailleurs, en tant qu'acteur ouvertement homosexuel ce nouveau souffle dans sa carrière s'est traduit par uniquement des rôles gays, et à la question de savoir s'il s'agissait d'un choix conscient de sa part, il répond qu'il connait la symbolique et la responsabilité d'avoir un véritable acteur gay qui campe ces rôles, mais ce n'est pas pour autant qu'il ne choisira que des personnages de cette orientation et que ces derniers castings n'étaient qu'un hasard. À partir de là, une rivalité entre les deux hommes va naître car Nick De Noia va apparaître sous les feux des projecteurs comme le fondateur de Chippendales alors que Banerjee attend cette reconnaissance depuis des décennies. Des affaires pas toujours très nettes, du racisme latent, des problématiques d'immigré, des danses m'as-tu vu qui ne déçoivent pas, un drame à la hauteur de la folie des grandeurs de son héros : la série est finalement moins provoc que Pam & Tommy mais semble plus chargée d'enjeux pour ses protagonistes. Ce ne serait pas un fait divers intéressant s'il n'y avait pas la chute de l'histoire, et elle est assez imprévisible exacerbée par la paranoïa grandissante de Banerjee. La nostalgie est bel et bien présente, avec des hits musicaux sur lesquels ses danseurs Chippendales performent tout comme les costumes de l'époque (dont le fameux uniforme nœud pap' et manchettes des employés ainsi que les pantalons velcro qui s'arrachent). Ce biopic pourrait en intéresser plus d'un·e et on se surprendra à attendre l'épisode suivant avec impatience. [bs_show url="immigrant"] Retrouvez Welcome to Chippendales sur Disney+.

Isaac Asimov was one of the most prolific authors in history. He was best known as a pathbreaking sci-fi writer, but his more than 500 books also included volumes on the Greeks, the Romans, Shakespeare, the Bible, and much more. He was one of the most learned men in history.  But in 1935, 15-year-old Asimov was rejected by Columbia University. Admissions officials instead directed him to Seth Low Junior College, a separate campus in Brooklyn, 11 miles from Columbia's Morningside Heights campus.  What was Seth Low Junior College, and why was the brilliant Isaac Asimov sent there instead? Seth Low Junior College, which existed from 1928 to 1938, was one of Columbia's many attempts to deal with a changing student population that they felt was contaminating its pristine, Protestant campus. And it's part of the bigger story of how the Ivy League resistance to outsiders shaped all of higher education as we know it.  In the first episode of Gatecrashers, a new podcast from Tablet Studios, you'll hear about the lengths Columbia went to in order to limit the number of Jewish students. The invention of the college application itself, the admissions interview, the push for geographical diversity, and more—all elements of the college admissions process as we know it today—trace back to Columbia's effort to keep out the Jews. You'll hear from NPR's Robert Siegel, former Columbia College Dean Robert Pollack, historian Robert McCaughey, sci-fi scholar Alfred Guy, and Dr. Leeza Hirt, whose undergraduate reporting unearthed the history of Seth Low Junior College.

Writer and Producer Jenni Konner grew up in California in a family who is “in the business”, but has made and continues to make her mark on television by writing and producing the most modernistic material that speaks to our times. The one-time partner of Lena Dunham is known for her slice-of-life stories, wit and knowledge of people, ability to identify personality types, and crafting characters across generations. Creating culture-influencing television with Girls, Konner continues to do something special with Freeform's Single Drunk Female, a fresh take on the rocky road to sobriety, one that is peppered with humor and filled with captivating characters---this time in suburban Boston--- that pop off the screen. On episode 104, Jenni traces her childhood, college years, and career path. We get a peek into her working relationships with her most creative collaborators---such as Dunham, Judd Apatow, Adam Driver, and producer Ilene Landress. We dissect the Girls experience and what came after, including her writing and directing HBO limited series, Camping. She tells us why former restaurant employees make the best crew members, talks intimately about the habits of writers, her affinity for working with actors, the importance of and continued lack of diverse stories, bringing back hard comedy, and how having a singular voice makes for a great writer. We talk what's next, including her upcoming project, Hulu's Immigrant starring Kumail Nanjiani, written and co-executive produced by Pam + Tommy creator, Robert Siegel. Jenni describes the vibe at Jenni Konner Productions, her editing process, and her expert opinion on creative partnerships.

How do you develop products differently in the future? How do you organize your companies differently? What are the skill sets required of the leaders who will be taking organizations forward? According to Robert Siegel, digitization is like breathing, every company is going to have to increasingly integrate it in everything they do. Robert Siegel is a lecturer at Stanford GSB also a venture capitalist with Piva and Xseed Ventures, and also the author of “The Brains and Brawn Company: How Leading Organizations Blend the Best of Digital and Physical.”This episode covers physical v digital companies, information flows, Tesla, Warby Parker, and training the next great systems leaders. Episode Quotes:Consumer trust & data usage:I remember talking to Walt Bettinger, he's the CEO of Schwab. In the 90 minutes I interviewed him the first time, he must've used the word “trust” 180 times in those 90 minutes, and talking about the importance of that. And one example that they give, is that if a Schwab customer logs into their Schwab account and clicks on “life events'' and then clicks on “divorce.” Schwab may know at a moment in time what's happening with that customer and might even know before the spouse does. And one of the things that Schwab asked themselves, or the first thing they ask themselves is through the client's eyes, what would our customers want us to do with this data? So it's not just that you have data and that you gather data and collect data, but do you use it intelligently and in a way that your customers are pleased and that they will say, I trust this company, I want to continue to engage with them and continue to work with them.Great systems leaders:You have to be able to operate both globally and locally. You have to know how to build platforms that can scale and operate globally, but how your platforms can be customized for local markets.Training future leaders:I hope that we at the business schools are doing a better job of training them not just in finance and marketing and digitization and strategy and all the things that you and I teach them, product management. But also to be thinking more broadly about issues around - what are the implications of these new services and products that we create? What does that mean to communities? What does it mean to their countries? What does it mean to international global conflict? And being aware of these kinds of issues.Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at Stanford Graduate School of BusinessProfessional Profile at XSeed CapitalRobert Siegel on LinkedinRobert Siegel on TwitterHis Work:Robert Siegel on MediumThe Brains and Brawn Company: How Leading Organizations Blend the Best of Digital and Physical

Lack of vision from the original founders of McDonald's and an unwillingness to scale2. Unclear brand mission and purpose to initial franchisees - he just sold3. Understanding the business - the foundation of the business was not food. It was real estate.4. Your personal life can impact the business' success greatly.Some Helpful Linkswww.nerbrandagency.com/podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-coulter-

On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks with ROBERT SIEGEL, Venture Investor and Stanford University Lecturer, and the Author of “The Brains and Brawn Company … How Leading Organizations blend the best of Digital and Physical.” Then, intervening with “cytokine storms”. JIM JOYCE, the CEO of San Diego's Sigyn Therapeutics talks about their progress to intervening quickly.

All digital, all the time - that's what we hear among the chattering business classes. My guest begs to differ. Instead, Robert E. Siegel points out, the competitors who will triumph combine both "Brains" (digital, smarts) with "Brawn" (operations and execution). Just one or the other won't cut it. Indeed, incumbents have shown that they can win by leveraging traditional strengths even as they bring on new capabilities. This should be fascinating.

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan offend approximately 1/7th of the world's population, which has historically gone very well. Ryan's love of fairy tale settings don't truck with Steve, who favors Disney's gritty, street-level crime drama Aladdin. Ryan gets vulnerable about the deterioration of his mental health in this dumpster fire world we have, and Steve, ever a good man and a good friend, reaches out. We encourage you to reach out too. Because everything sucks right now, and you need to connect with your fellow humans to survive. Also, this is the worst Disney princess ever. Aladdin (1992) - Disney d. Ron Clements, John Musker Starring: Scott Weinger Robin Williams Linda Larkin Jonathan Freeman Gilbert Gottfried When street rat Aladdin frees a genie from a lamp, he finds his wishes granted. However, he soon finds that the evil has other plans for the lamp -- and for Princess Jasmine.

On this 20th Anniversary celebration of WWDTM, NPR journalists Nina Totenberg and Robert Siegel join us along nearly all of our panelists.

Long-time journalist and host of National Public Radio's All Things Considered Robert Siegel retired last week. Robert was the man who first brought the Reduced Shakespeare Company on to the NPR airwaves in 1994 and introduced us to the largest American audience we'd ever had up to that point. To celebrate his retirement, we offer the very first interview we did with Robert on All Things Considered, from June 23, 1994, during which we talk about and perform excerpts from The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), followed by our second interview with Robert, from July 31, 1995, in which we discuss and perform bits from what was then our brand-new show The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). Featuring impossibly young voices, zippy tempos, wobbly-sounding keyboards, brief excerpts from our BBC World Service program The Reduced Shakespeare Radio Show, unaired outtakes from a piece we produced for NPR's "In Character" series, and gratitude to a great journalist, network-builder, and friend. #ThanksRobert (Length 27:07)

Having started his career in public radio when it was a scrappy enterprise, he's spent the past three decades shaping NPR as host of All Things Considered. He retired this week, at a time when NPR plays a critical role in educating the electorate.

I have yet to meet Kelly McEvers in real life, but I soon discovered both by listening to her podcast, Embedded and having a conversation with her that she's badass. Kelly McEvers is co-host of All Things Considered, NPR's award-winning afternoon newsmagazine. She hosts the program from NPR West in Culver City, California, with co-hosts Robert Siegel, Audie Cornish, and Ari Shapiro in NPR's Washington, D.C. headquarters.  McEvers was previously a national correspondent based at NPR West. Prior to that, McEvers ran NPR's Beirut bureau, where she earned a George Foster Peabody award, an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia award, a Gracie award, and an Overseas Press Club mention for her 2012 coverage of the Syrian conflict. She recently made a radio documentary about being a war correspondent with renowned radio producer Jay Allison of Transom.org. In 2011, she traveled undercover to follow Arab uprisings in places where brutal crackdowns followed the early euphoria of protests. She has been tear-gassed in Bahrain; she has spent a night in a tent city with a Yemeni woman who would later share the Nobel Peace Prize; and she spent weeks inside Syria with anti-government rebels known as the Free Syrian Army. In Iraq, she covered the final withdrawal of U.S. troops and the political chaos that gripped the country afterward. Before arriving in Iraq in 2010, McEvers was one of the first Western correspondents to be based, full-time, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2008 and 2009, McEvers was part of a team that produced the award-winning "Working" series for American Public Media's business and finance show, Marketplace. She profiled a war fixer in Beirut, a smuggler in Dubai, a sex-worker in Baku, a pirate in the Strait of Malacca and a marriage broker in Vietnam. She previously covered the former Soviet Union and Southeast Asia as a freelancer for NPR and other outlets. She started her journalism career in 1997 at the Chicago Tribune, where she worked as a metro reporter and documented the lives of female gang members for the Sunday magazine. Her writing also has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Foreign Policy, The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Monthly, Slate and the San Francisco Chronicle. Her work has aired on This American Life, The World, and the BBC. She's taught radio and journalism in the U.S. and abroad. McEvers also hosts Embedded, which takes a story from the news and goes deep. What does it feel like for a father in El Salvador to lie to his daughter about the bodies he saw in the street that day? What does it feel like for a nurse from rural Indiana to shoot up a powerful prescription opioid? Embedded (EMBD) takes you to where it's all happening. She lives with her family in California, where she's still very bad at surfing.   To Connect with Kelly: * Twitter: @kellymcevers

The film's writer Robert Siegel - who also wrote The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke - discusses his fascination for the story and what it says about America in the 1950s.

I got interviewed by Robert Siegel on NPR's Morning Edition. He got some non-actors to play roles in a very short excerpt of my one-act theatrical work, THE PALINDROME DRAMA. This was a novelty play, with all dialog in palindromes. No UFOs, but it comes in with a tidy 3:33 time count. (link)
