Wilson Sr. talks about his schedule release rap. his thoughts on the rookies, and expectations for his season.

Ep. 884 - And now we know the when. The Arizona Cardinals schedule is out. It was released with much fanfare – more on that later. The who and the where have been known for months and on Wednesday, we got the when. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi dive into the 18-week, 17-game schedule. What do they like? What do they not like? How many primetime games did the Cardinals get? When is the bye week? And how many ‘revenge' games are there? (Yes, Paul is keeping track.) Now, about the fanfare. “Rocketship,” aka inside linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., rapped the schedule. That's right, rapped.

Show Website: https://mspbusinessschool.com/ Guest Name: Dustin Puryear LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinpuryear/ Company: Giant Rocket Ship Website: https://giantrocketship.com/ Host Brian Doyle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briandoylevciotoolbox/ In this episode of MSP Business School, host Brian Doyle is joined by Dustin Puryear of Giant Rocketship to delve into effective solutions for enhancing service delivery within MSP operations. Dustin shares his journey from managing an MSP to developing a vendor product that addresses the industry's common pain points. The conversation focuses on how Giant Rocketship innovates ticket management and service coordination through automation, reducing backlog and improving client satisfaction. Dustin Puryear explains the genesis of Giant Rocketship as a response to the inefficiencies he noticed in ticket management during his MSP tenure. By automating the dispatch and prioritization of tasks, Rocketship helps MSPs manage workloads more effectively, saving time and resources. Dustin highlights the importance of focusing on the volume of work rather than ticket numbers, a common oversight in service delivery operations. With trends towards AI and automation, the discussion underscores the evolving nature of MSP business models and the necessity of adapting to new technologies. Key Takeaways: Streamlining Operations: Giant Rocketship automates the dispatch process, helping MSPs reduce ticket backlogs and improve service efficiency.  Prioritization Through Automation: By prioritizing tickets based on SLA, customer impact, and team capabilities, the system ensures that urgent tasks are addressed promptly.  Cost-Effectiveness: Implementing automation can help MSPs reassign resources and potentially reduce staffing needs, significantly improving ROI.  Evolving Perceptions: Dustin emphasizes shifting from ticket-focused to activity-focused operations to enhance service delivery and customer satisfaction.  Industry Trends: The adoption of AI and automation in MSPs is reshaping traditional service delivery models, necessitating a more strategic approach to technology and resources.  Sponsor vCIOToolbox: https://vciotoolbox.com

What happens when the product science principles are applied to a conference organization?  You get Product Collective, now called Mind The Product by Pendo.io. Through events like INDUSTRY: The Product Conference, along with resources such as a member hub and over 100 hours of past conference videos, product professionals across the globe find community, learn, and improve their work.  Rather than AI being the end-all-be-all answer, Mike hopes that AI will be used to integrate both qualitative insights from empathetic customer interactions and quantitative data. This evidence-based approach involves testing strategies through small experiments, learning from the outcomes, and aligning decisions with core values and customer outcomes for incremental growth.  Mike also reveals insights from his experience working with Bob Moesta on jobs-to-be-done interviews, highlighting the value of going deep in customer research to uncover valuable insights, and in his case, understand attendees' needs and improve the conference and/or community experience.  Takeaways include asking deeper questions, spending more time gathering that qualitative feedback so that you can go deeper, being curiously observant of jobs-to-be-done, and finding various modalities in which to gather continuous feedback from the “friendlies” and those who are more hesitant to capture a complete picture.  Resources Follow Mike Belsito on LinkedIn Explore the free resources and upcoming events at mindtheproduct.com Listen to Mike on Rocketship.fm Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops and Courses  Quotes from Mike Belsito (00:06:52) "The job that people hire your product for, you know, if you want to think of it, in jobs to be done context, it may not be what you think it is." - Mike Belsito (00:21:29) "Qualitative data is data. So being data driven doesn't mean that we're relying only on the reports and the analytics. It's not an either or. It's not quantitative versus qualitative. It's using them both together." - Mike Belsito (00:28:15) "It's not just what you've learned, but it's these relationships that are a real value to you." - Mike Belsito Lab Notes Lab Note 607.1: Depth is where you find Differentiation. Lab Note 607.2: Start with observation of the jobs-to-be-done. Lab Note 607.3: Use different modalities to get feedback from a range of people.

After more than a decade of stories, insights, and interviews from the world of tech, this is the final episode of Rocketship.FM… at least for now. In part one, host Mike Belsito opens up about the decision to hit pause on the show. Following the acquisition of Product Collective and diving deep into new responsibilities at Pendo and Mind the Product, time has become a rare commodity. And the little free time that is available? That's now reserved for what matters most — family. Plus, let's face it — Rocketship.FM was always more fun when co-hosting with Michael Sacca. But before signing off, part two of the episode revisits three of the most memorable episodes from over the years — moments that made Rocketship.FM what it is and remind us why storytelling in tech still matters. The show may be going on the shelf, but don't unsubscribe just yet… you never know when a surprise episode might drop. Thanks for listening. It's been an incredible ride.

Mikey Shulman is having a great time. He's running a rocket ship of a company, has $100M+ in funding from some of the top VCs, and is working on an opportunity that he's passionate about. Mikey hit my radar because of a text from my friend TJ. His firm was an early backer of Suno, and he said that if any company they work with was going to hit our “4 Min Mile” challenge of $100M in revenue with fewer than 10 employees, it'd be Suno. That was the conversation I was planning to have with Mikey when we stepped into the studio at Suno HQ in Cambridge. What unfolded was a conversation with much more nuance and range than I'd originally anticipated. Some takeaways:Mikey emphasizes the importance of fun in AI development, contrasting with the industry's focus on productivity gains. He sees AI as a tool for enhancing human creativity in music, potentially leading to new heights in artistic expression.Shulman sees AI as a tool that, like humans, learns from past data to create new expressions. He disagrees with the notion that AI can only look backward, arguing that it can be a powerful instrument for innovation in music when guided by human creativity.The company's rapid growth was aided by staying somewhat removed from the AI hype cycle, allowing them to focus on building value and iterating quickly based on user feedback.Despite raising significant capital, Shulman actively tries to avoid fixating on the company's war chest. He believes constantly thinking about available funds can distort decision-making and lead to inefficient resource allocation.Shulman credits much of Suno's success to his talent for hiring and building a strong team, rather than his own ideas. He stresses the value of finding people who are passionate and committed to the company's mission.As Suno approaches the $100M mark with a much bigger team than 10, I can't help but wonder if there's more indie can be doing to encourage and support founders who are thinking similarly about small teams with ambitions for massive scale. We're doing that already through our direct investing, but I wonder if there's a program we could put together that would involve investment and shared learnings from a group of like-minded founders working towards a similar goal that could help the whole get there that much quicker. If you have thoughts on this, please share. It's something we're actively thinking through, and I would value additional ideas and points of view. As always, we hope you enjoy watching this one as much as we enjoyed recording it. If you're working on something with a similar ethos to Suno and looking for investment, don't hesitate to reach out. — Bryce

You know the name. You've probably heard the iconic 16-bit theme. But what you might not know is that legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden was more than just the face of a video game — he was its soul. In this special re-telling of one of our favorite Rocketship.FM stories, we revisit the incredible product journey of Madden NFL Football. From a fateful Amtrak ride in 1984 to a billion-dollar franchise played across generations, Madden's insistence on realism and deep understanding of the "why" made him a true product visionary — even if he never carried the title. Whether you're a football fan, a gamer, or a product leader, this episode will leave you inspired by the legacy of a man who proved that getting the details right can build something that lasts decades.

In today's episode, we learned that working with agencies is a great way to fill your client pipeline regularly. But how does the money work if an agency will “white label” your services? Who gets what? How much? And when? These are the types of questions Nathan asks himself as he grows his business. He's got a few partnerships in the works, but he's unsure how to set up the money side. Naturally, we have a few ideas for him to try. Plus, we talk about how much to charge in your particular market and more.  It's all in this episode of ‘Freelance to Founder.' Let's go. This episode was originally published on August 3, 2023.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman—once allies in the quest for AI advancement—are now at the center of one of the biggest tech rivalries of our time. From co-founding OpenAI together in 2015 to Musk's eventual departure and criticism of OpenAI's shift toward a for-profit model, the tension between these two Silicon Valley titans has only escalated. In this episode of Rocketship.FM, we explore the origins of their partnership, the philosophical divide that drove them apart, and the latest in their ongoing battle—including Musk's nearly $100 billion unsolicited bid to take over OpenAI. What does this feud mean for the future of AI? Is it about principle, power, or something more? We break down the history, the court battles, and the latest moves that have kept this tech showdown in the headlines. Buckle up—this is one tech rivalry you don't want to miss.

OpenAI is pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence yet again. In this episode of Rocketship.FM, we break down what Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil revealed about OpenAI's roadmap for 2025 and beyond—including the latest AI model, O1, which is already outperforming previous versions in coding, math, and reasoning. But that's just the beginning. We also explore OpenAI's move into AI-powered agents designed to streamline everyday tasks, and the company's rumored return to humanoid robotics. And what about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and even Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)? OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hinted that these once-distant milestones could be closer than we think. What happens when AI surpasses human intelligence? Will it be a utopia of limitless innovation, or are we opening a Pandora's box we can't close? Join us as we unpack OpenAI's vision for the future—and what it could mean for the world.

In this episode of Rocketship.FM, we dive into one of the boldest AI initiatives ever announced: Project Stargate. Backed by tech giants like OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX, this $500 billion venture is set to transform AI infrastructure in the United States. With President Trump championing the project from day one of his presidency, it's being framed as a move to secure America's leadership in artificial intelligence. But the stakes are massive—so is the controversy. While figures like Larry Ellison and Masayoshi Son are rallying behind Stargate's potential, critics, including Elon Musk, aren't holding back. From concerns about funding transparency to simmering tensions between OpenAI and Microsoft, we explore the power plays, partnerships, and political maneuvering that could define the future of AI. Will this unprecedented collaboration push the boundaries of innovation—or unravel under the weight of competing agendas? Tune in as we break down what this means for tech, the economy, and the geopolitical AI race.

In this episode of Connected With Latham, Haim Zaltzman, Global Vice Chair of Latham's Emerging Companies & Growth Practice, sits down with BridgeBio's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Neil Kumar and Chief Financial Officer Brian Stephenson. Since 2015, BridgeBio, a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical, has maintained a mission to discover, create, test, and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases. Latham has been involved with BridgeBio since its inception, representing BridgeBio on multiple fronts, including recently the company's US$1.25 billion cross-border capital financing, one of the largest private capital financings in life sciences in the last five years and one of the largest combined senior debt and royalty transactions in the last decade. In a wide-ranging conversation, Haim, Neil, and Brian discuss BridgeBio's novel rise from startup to unicorn, how the company's portfolio has increasingly diversified and adjusted, and why BridgeBio represents the right approach to establishing enterprise and patient value in the genetics — and broader biotech — space. They also reflect on balancing patient impact with value creation, their anticipation of faster approval timelines in a new presidential administration, and the lessons learned from the evolution of BridgeBio's legal structure, as well as which fast food is near and dear to their stomachs, and who was the biggest nerd in grad school.   This podcast is provided as a service of Latham & Watkins LLP.
