Podcasts about Scratch

In today's episode, I'm coming to you fresh from surf camp in Sri Lanka with reflections on slowing down, mastering your focus, and what real power looks like in this new era. Relearning to surf reminded me to go slow to go fast and stay in my own lane. I share the difference between being out of alignment and simply out of your comfort zone, why the nuance of your design matters, and why this season is about not scratching the itch when distractions, drama, or old patterns try to pull you off course.This episode is extra special because it's episode 100 of the Secret Podcast. To celebrate 100 episodes on the inside, we're sharing this one on the main feed so you can get a taste of what it's like behind the scenes. The Secret Podcast is where I go deeper, get more raw, and share the real-time downloads, reflections and energetic recalibrations that don't always make it to the main show.If you love this episode and want more of this energy, you can join us inside here:https://thehumandesignpodcast.supercast.com/I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxOTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

I think you'll agree with me that this is one of the smartest people I've ever had on the podcast.Episode Description:Martin Shkreli became one of the most controversial figures in business history—labeled “the most hated man in America,” prosecuted, imprisoned, and publicly vilified.In this conversation, he tells his side of the story.Part 1 focuses on how media narratives form, why conviction and risk-taking matter in entrepreneurship, and the deeper mechanics behind the pharmaceutical controversy that made him famous. He explains the economics of drug pricing, insurance systems, neglected medications, and why public perception diverged so dramatically from what patients actually experienced.The episode also explores learning across disciplines, intellectual courage, prosecutors' incentives, and how public scandals evolve into legal consequences.Whether you agree with him or not, the discussion raises uncomfortable questions about business, regulation, media, and reputation.What You'll Learn:Why media narratives can shape public opinion more than factsThe real economics behind pharmaceutical pricing and insurance coverageHow entrepreneurs learn complex industries without formal trainingWhy conviction and risk tolerance are essential in investing and businessHow incentives within legal and political systems influence outcomesTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Most Hated Man in America” — Media Narratives & Reputation[00:03:11] A Note from James[00:03:45] Humor vs. Backlash: Handling Public Criticism[00:06:39] Conviction, Investing & Standing Your Ground[00:09:00] Optimism, Forgiveness & Business Relationships[00:12:08] The Pharma Controversy Begins[00:14:52] From Hedge Funds to Biotech CEO[00:17:40] Learning New Industries from Scratch[00:19:00] Staying Curious & Avoiding Fear of Complexity[00:21:00] Borrowing Knowledge Across Domains[00:23:06] How People Actually Learn Complex Skills[00:29:00] Entrepreneurship, Ego & Motivation[00:31:20] The Daraprim Pricing Decision Explained[00:34:00] Neglected Drugs & Pharma Economics[00:37:00] Profit Motive vs. Public Good[00:41:13] Why He Became the Target[00:45:00] Prosecutors, Incentives & Legal Strategy[00:47:00] Hedge Funds, Technical Violations & Trials[00:50:00] High-Profile Cases & Selective Enforcement[00:53:00] Media Attention & Personal DecisionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hayden's MRI confirmed a cartilage tear in her wrist. Recovery is months out, surgery is possible, and she can barely make bouquets one-handed. She's been in a depression. Her corporate job is doing layoffs and she doesn't know week to week if she still has one. She wanted to quit. And then she opened an email and found out she'd won a $15,000 grant from Ag West Farm Credit — the one she spent days applying for back in March and never thought she'd get. She was crying when she read it. That grant is going toward a greenhouse, season extension supplies, and, for the first time, hired help. On the sales side, the four-week CSA subscription is done. Pre-selling $1,200 back in spring funded her startup costs and meant she didn't have to market during the busiest harvest weeks. The flowers were already spoken for. But pickup logistics were a mess. Friends texted asking for exceptions. She ended up delivering some bouquets herself. Next year she wants a community drop point and stricter boundaries. The U-pick events were the biggest learning of the summer. Her practice run with 20 friends revealed that people were scared to pick the flowers, cut stems three inches long, and needed way more upfront education than she expected. The paid events went better until a bachelorette party of 10 bought tickets to her intimate sip-and-snip evening. They showed up 15 minutes late from a winery. Lesson learned: group bookings get a private event option with a minimum price. The two biggest fails? She didn't get succession planting done, which meant spending $200 at Wilco on plant starts right before the U-picks so the field didn't look empty. And she hasn't tracked a single harvest, expense hour, or bloom count all season. No system, no clipboard, no data. She knows it'll cost her in planning next year. The biggest strategic shift: she's moving away from summer bouquet sales entirely. Next year she wants to focus on early spring flowers with season extension, run the CSA from March through Mother's Day, and spend summer on higher-profit events instead of sweating through harvests in 90-degree heat while working 12-hour corporate shifts. Life is 50-50. This episode is proof. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if The Profitable Farmer can break you out of marketing misery.

If you thought Part 1 with Paul Eftang and Matt Harrier was wild — an FDA raid with guns drawn, two years of legal battles, and a crusade against supplement fraud — Part 2 is where it gets genuinely useful. Episode #206 of the PricePlow Podcast picks up right where we left off, this time diving deep into the actual ingredients and products that Nootropics Depot has developed, sourced, and standardized over more than a decade of pharmaceutical-grade R&D. Recorded at Nootropics Depot’s headquarters in Tempe, Arizona, Paul and Matt walk us through tongkat ali’s redemption arc from “gas station boner pill” to clinically meaningful testosterone support, explain why almost every mushroom supplement on the market is mislabeled, detail a 6-year journey to bring a real Ecklonia cava to market, and reveal how a bacopa extract binds to the same receptor as psilocybin. Along the way, they cover cistanche, lion’s mane, Tribugen, a prebiotic fiber system, a novel protein concept, and an industry-wide testing fraud landscape that makes their product philosophy make total sense.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 606 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The Art of the Stompbox, Blake has ghosts, and Brian falls down another rabbit hole.The guys open with cartoon-based nonsense, plenty of questions, and an update from the British King of Fuzz. Meanwhile, a book celebrating the art behind some of the world's most iconic pedals has just been released - and it features a section on Wampler, which left Richard simultaneously proud and bemused. Brian has been deep down the Mandela Effect rabbit hole.Have you ever had a rehearsal where you thought everything went badly? Some rookie errors led to a situation and raised some new questions. Wampler released the Golden Jubilee last week and the guys discuss why it is absolutely not a Tube Screamer - despite being green. Brian also goes a bit too far with the medical stories. Again.Rush has announced a new European tour and the guys debate it, somehow dragging Lars Ulrich into the conversation along the way. Wampler has won an award for the greatest Klon clone of 2026 and the guys are too legit to quit. Meanwhile, Brian gets very angry at Richard, who is thinking about going to see some country music.Captain Caveman, The Matrix, Nefarian 11, Tone King, Scratch-'n'-Sniff pedals... it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show

Building data capability from zero is not a tooling problem, it is a trust and prioritization problem. In this episode, Laura Guerin, Head of Data and Data Science at Bevi, breaks down how she goes from blank slate to real business impact, without getting trapped in endless plumbing or endless meetings. Laura shares how she runs an early listening tour, prototypes value before asking for bigger investment, and decides when to hire scrappy generalists versus specialists. We also get practical on AI, where it helps, where it is unnecessary, and why quality data and a clean semantic layer still decide whether anything works.Key takeaways• Start with business priorities, then map data work to the actions and outcomes leaders actually care about• Prototype the end deliverable fast, even if the backend is duct tape at first, then scale after stakeholders see value• Use cases first for AI, most problems do not need AI, but the right problems can see real acceleration• Early teams win with adaptable generalists who can wear multiple hats across data, analytics, and data science• Trust is a shared responsibility, build reliability, then create a culture where users flag weirdness quicklyTimestamped highlights00:44 Bevy explained, smart bottle less dispensers and why the business context matters for data priorities02:01 The listening tour playbook, exec alignment, stakeholder map, and using AI to synthesize themes into a SWOT04:00 The MVP reality, manual prototypes to prove value, then the conversation about scalable pipelines06:33 AI without the hype, use cases, when AI is not needed, and two examples with clear business impact09:22 Hiring from zero, why generalists first, the data analytics data science spectrum, and the personality traits that matter14:21 Self service reimagined, Slack as the interface, semantic layer and permissions, and how to keep a single source of truth20:19 Keeping trust when things break, checks and balances plus a shared responsibility model22:39 Making innovation real, baking it into expectations so the team has time to learn and test new approachesA line worth stealingData on its own is not typically a priority. It is more about the action or the impact that comes out of the data.Pro tips• Run a structured listening tour early, capture themes, then pick two or three priorities you can deliver quickly• Show the business an MVP output first, then use that proof to justify the unglamorous backend work• Treat AI like any other tool, define the problem, validate the use case, then confirm the data quality inputsCall to actionIf you are building analytics, data products, or AI inside a growing company, follow the show and subscribe so you do not miss the next operator level conversation.

Become a part of the Progressive Property refer-a-friend scheme and Earn up to £250 when someone attends one of our events – you can enrol here: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ For property businesses, 2026 is a noisy year – shiny regeneration schemes, hot new coins, “next big thing” strategies are everywhere, so deciding which direction to go in, is very difficult. Today, Mark cuts through that noise by answering the question he gets asked most: If he had to start again from scratch today, what would he actually do?   He breaks down why he'd still buy simple single lets, move quickly into higher‑end HMOs and blocks, avoid the fads, and use development, debt, and daily habits to build a safer, scalable, more profitable portfolio that survives all kinds of regulation, tax, and market cycles. If you want to take the next step and put what you have learned from this podcast into action, you only need to click here - https://www.wealthbuilders.co.uk/progressive-podcast KEY TAKEAWAYS Blend what you already know, what you're good at and what you enjoy - but make sure every strategy and deal is ruthlessly profitable.   Ignore the shiny penny stuff. Buy unloved assets in real demand areas, force the value through refurb, conversions, and better operations, then hold them.   Leverage the efficiency of owning and running larger assets e.g. a block of flats, HMOs, or co-living spaces. Carry on learning, networking, and improving efficiency. Spread your income across different assets, areas, and deal types, so when tax, regulation, or the market changes negatively for one sector, the rest of your portfolio keeps you afloat.  Build your track record first with smaller wins you can document, then use that evidence to raise JV and private capital on better terms.   Take on sensible debt to build up good assets, let inflation erode that debt, but don´t borrow so much that a downturn can wipe you out.  Take full advantage of the impact of compounding interest. BEST MOMENTS  "Lots of people say, Oh, you just need to follow your passion and follow your dreams. Well, I don't think it's quite that simple."  "Ignore all of the shiny Penny regeneration programmes in property."  "Over the long run, it means that you can't fail, and you'll get richer and richer."  "Too many people think that wealth building is all about finding that one thing that will make you rich. The reality is that it is about developing yourself and developing 1000 daily habits."   VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property. With a 6-figure portfolio and expertise in creative strategies, finance, and off-market deals, Sean shares success stories from the Progressive Property community, expert insights, and real-world strategies to help investors succeed.

I think almost every mom who is trying to cook more from scratch runs into this at some point: you get comfortable with a handful of meals… and then you kind of stall out. You have some great recipes, but when it comes to trying something new? It can feel mentally exhausting or just plain risky. Like if this recipe doesn't turn out, that's dinner and there aren't a lot of second chances on a busy Tuesday night with hungry kids. In this episode we talk about how to expand your recipe box without stress. Not by turning your kitchen into a test kitchen or trying five new Pinterest meals a week. But by working on  growing your confidence in the kitchen, learning how to tweak what you already know, and building a solid repertoire that works for your real life. If you've ever felt stuck cooking the same five meals on repeat, this episode is for you.

What would you do if your TPT store vanished overnight? We walk through a clear, practical rebuild plan that trades guesswork for data and momentum. Starting with a fresh brand and a simple email funnel, we show how to plant the seeds for reliable traffic and repeat buyers by placing an opt-in inside every paid product and sending value-packed messages that earn trust.From there, we map out the Create Three strategy: choose a niche you know cold, research rankable keywords on TPT, and build three distinct product templates. Launch two to three tightly focused resources from each template, then let the market speak. Early signals like views, favorites, and first purchases will identify your winner long before everything sells out. Once a line proves itself, double down fast, expand across adjacent standards, and bundle to raise average order value without adding friction.Pricing and timing become your advantage. Pair one premium line in the $8–$10 range with faster-to-build $1–$2 and $3–$4 items that spark impulse buys and reviews for a new brand. Layer in seasonal versions from your existing templates to capture lower-competition searches around holidays, testing windows, and back-to-school. The combination builds surface area in search, speeds discovery, and creates natural upgrade paths for buyers who want more.We also get real about mindset and visibility. Consistency beats bursts of inspiration, and most creators aren't invited to the table—they pull up a chair. Reach out to hosts of summits, hashtag sales, and collabs with clear asks and follow-up timelines.

Most people think the restaurant industry starts in the kitchen. It doesn't. It starts with sourcing. With buying decisions. With what shows up at the back door. This week, Carl sits down with Tony Cuba, Buyer for Halpern's Steak and Seafood in Orlando, alongside Chef Cody Tiner, chef-owner of District South. Tony brings nearly 21 years of distribution experience to the table. From packing product on the warehouse floor to working in outside sales and eventually stepping into buying, he understands sourcing from both sides of the equation. Chef Cody Tiner brings 17 years of scratch-kitchen experience, classical training, Southern roots, and a deep commitment to community-driven hospitality. At District South, he leads a young team, breaks down whole fish and steaks in-house, and builds a neighborhood restaurant centered on quality without pretension. Together, this conversation explores: • How food actually moves from warehouse to dish • What buyers look for before product hits the floor • Why trust between distributor and chef is everything • How sourcing decisions shape menus more than people realize • What the next generation of chefs needs to understand about supply chain This is an inside look at the invisible system that supports every great plate. Because without distribution, there is no industry. And without trust, there is no distribution. Key Takeaways • Distribution is not transactional — it's relational • Great buyers understand kitchen pressure • Scratch kitchens depend heavily on sourcing consistency • Pricing, availability, and quality are constant tension points • Mentorship and next-gen leadership matter at every level of the industry • The supply chain shapes creativity more than most people realize Featured Guests Tony Cuba Buyer – Halpern's Steak and Seafood, Orlando Chef Cody Tiner Chef-Owner – District South Partner Mentions & Links RAK Porcelain USA – Professional tableware used in studio https://www.rakporcelain.com Metro Foodservice Solutions – Workflow and kitchen support partner https://www.metro.com Crab Island Seafood https://crabislandseafood.com Sustainable Supperclub https://sustainablesupper.org/ Operation BBQ Relief https://operationbbqrelief.org/ The Burnt Chef Project https://www.theburntchefproject.com/ Citrus America Citrus America: Perfect Juicers for Any Location Official Trade Show & Competition Partners

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of Adventures in Legal Tech, host Jared Correia speaks with John Pothier, managing partner at Embedded Counsel, about one of the most common challenges lawyers face: launching a law firm without understanding technology. Using the fictional scenario of an in-house attorney ready to go solo but overwhelmed by tech decisions, the conversation breaks down the essential systems, tools, and strategic choices lawyers actually need when starting a modern practice. Rather than focusing on flashy software, the discussion emphasizes practical foundations — collaboration tools, workflow management, AI adoption, pricing models, marketing experimentation, and the realities of transitioning from in-house counsel to entrepreneurship. The episode also explores: Why Google Workspace may outperform traditional setups for small firms How cloud technology has lowered the barrier to starting a law practice The evolving role of AI in legal workflows Subscription and flat-fee pricing models replacing hourly billing Marketing experimentation and networking as growth drivers Burnout risks in in-house roles and the motivation to go independent Building partnerships and fractional legal services practices LINKS & RESOURCES redcavelegal.comembeddedcounsel.com john.pothier@embeddedcounsel.com KEYWORDS Legal tech for startups Starting a law firm Legal technology stack Google Workspace for lawyers Law firm technology basics Fractional general counsel Flat fee legal pricing Subscription legal services AI for lawyers Legal research technology Cloud law practice Legal entrepreneurship In-house counsel transition Law firm marketing strategy Legal networking Practice management tools Law firm automation Legal business development EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:00–01:14 - Introducing a new approach to legal tech conversations 01:14–02:23 - The problem: starting a firm with zero technology knowledge 02:23–03:13 - Why Google Workspace became the foundation of a modern law firm 03:13–04:01 - Microsoft vs Google ecosystems and integration simplicity 04:01–05:11 - Project management challenges in legal practice tools 05:11–06:14 - AI tools lawyers are experimenting with today 06:14–06:57 - Guardrails and risks when using general AI platforms 06:57–07:24 - Cloud technology lowering startup costs for law firms 07:24–08:19 - The minimal tech stack needed to launch a practice 08:19–09:12 - John Pothier's unconventional path into law 09:12–10:08 - Entrepreneurship before traditional legal careers 10:08–11:10 - The reality of working as in-house counsel 11:10–12:19 - Burnout, workload pressure, and limited time off 12:19–13:41 - Why lawyers leave stable roles to start firms 13:41–15:00 - Choosing the right business partner in legal practice 15:00–17:00 - Balancing entrepreneurship with family life and risk 17:00–19:24 - Designing pricing models without industry transparency 19:24–20:37 - Flat fee vs hourly billing and client psychology 20:37–22:30 - The rise of fractional legal services 22:30–23:26 - Marketing experiments that didn't work 23:26–24:47 - Networking as the most reliable growth strategy 24:47–26:22 - Lessons learned from running AI-driven marketing ads 26:22–28:26 - Professional development while managing a law firm

FREE Guide: The month-by-month roadmap to build your farm business from scratch. Grab it HERE Hayden's four months into building Big Oak Flower Farm and she's in that weird middle spot — wishing she was selling more while intentionally holding back because she doesn't have enough flowers yet. Sound familiar to anyone starting out? The free queer wildflower walk she organized at Champoeg State Park? Twenty people showed up, almost 100 people and businesses shared it on Instagram, and one attendee turned out to be a tourism marketing director who called her event email "marketing gold." She didn't spend a dime on advertising. She just offered something free that her ideal customers actually wanted, then asked local businesses to share it. Every single one said yes. She won a $900 grant from Wine Country Pride to fund supplies for her U-pick events — snips, vases, signage, all the stuff that adds up way faster than you'd think. And even though she didn't get the money just to learn, the grant application process forced her to budget down to the cost of parking signs and scissors. That kind of planning pays off whether you get funded or not. On the sales side, she's at $1,000 in pre-sold subscriptions, a couple of walk-up bouquet sales, her first bulk "bucket of blooms" order for a baby shower, and a $40 custom bouquet she sold at a party after someone saw the flowers she'd brought as a gift. She's also dropping bouquets at local coffee shops with her business card — something that terrified her a month ago and now feels natural. The real talk this episode: $1,300 for farm insurance as a first-year business (and why you need it before your first event), using Wave for free accounting, and why she's finally turning to AI to help her figure out what to actually say in her marketing emails instead of staring at a blank screen.

FREE Guide: The month-by-month roadmap to build your farm business from scratch. Grab it HERE It's the end of April, and things are moving fast — maybe too fast. The rain stopped weeks early, it's been in the 70s, and Hayden's scrambling to get irrigation set up while working 14-hour days at her corporate job. A whole bed of ranunculus? Crispy dead. She forgot about them during her work week. That's the reality nobody posts about. But here's what she did pull off: eight bouquet subscription pre-sales totaling her first $1,000. Every single buyer is someone she knows. Not a stranger in the bunch. And not one of them has seen a photo of what they're actually getting. They bought because they trust her. That's what relationship-based marketing does. She ran a $200 ad in the local Newsburg community newsletter and made $240 back in subscription sales within the first week — plus new email subscribers she can't even track yet. She went from 4 beds to 10 finished 20-foot rows, with plans for 17 total. She applied to two grants, and even though she hasn't heard back, the process forced her to write a three-year business projection, budget out her U-pick events down to the cost of scissors, and think bigger than just this first season. The biggest win? A free queer wildflower walk she's hosting at Champoeg State Park that got shared by over 80 people on Instagram. She asked a dozen local businesses to share it, every one said yes, and now she's getting messages from people she's never met. One connection led to an invitation to vendor at a 1,000-person plant sale. She's also setting boundaries — done working outside by 1 p.m., actually cooking dinner instead of eating mac and cheese for the fifth night in a row, and canceling plans when she needs a recovery day. Because the busy season hasn't even started yet. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if The Profitable Farmer can break you out of marketing misery.

In this episode of Lab Rats to Unicorns, John Flavin speaks with Dr. Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist and University of Minnesota professor whose work explores one of science's biggest questions: what is life — and can we build it from scratch? As a leader in the International Build-a-Cell Collaboration, Kate is helping drive global efforts to construct synthetic living systems from nonliving components while advancing research across minimal cells, origins-of-life science, and biocomputing.Kate shares how a childhood love of science fiction shaped her path into synthetic biology and explains the idea of “life but not alive,” highlighting how synthetic cells differ from traditional genetic engineering. She also discusses the shift from academic discovery to entrepreneurship through Synlife, the challenges of scaling entirely new biological platforms, and the regulatory questions ahead.The conversation explores how programmable synthetic cells could transform medicine, manufacturing, sustainability, and even space exploration — while raising profound scientific and ethical questions about humanity's growing ability to design life itself.

What if DNA could be edited as easily as software? What if we could delete disease, redesign organisms, and eventually rewrite ourselves? In this episode, Adrian Woolfson joins host Güneş Taylor to discuss his book, On the Future of Species. As artificial intelligence fuses with synthetic biology, Woolfson argues that we are beginning to decode the grammar of the genome - learning not just to read life, but to write it. Today, scientists are still in the scribbling phase, editing microbes and viruses. Tomorrow, we may design entirely new organisms or resurrect lost ones. Evolution would no longer be destiny. It would be a choice. But who gets to choose? And what happens to ecosystems, and human nature itself when genomes become editable?

What does it take to build a thriving quantum ecosystem from the ground up? Martin Laforest, physicist-turned-venture-capitalist at Quantacet, reveals how Quebec transformed a 1970s academic bet into a $400M quantum powerhouse—and why the industry's biggest misconception is thinking quantum computing is either a science problem or an engineering problem when it's clearly both.SummaryIn this conversation, Sebastian sits down with Martin Laforest, partner at Quantacet, Canada's quantum-only VC fund, to explore the messy realities of building quantum companies and ecosystems. Martin brings a rare perspective: PhD from Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, eight years leading scientific outreach, a stint building a post-quantum cryptography startup with ex-BlackBerry executives, and now investing in the quantum future.This episode is for anyone trying to understand how quantum technology actually gets built—not the hype, but the infrastructure, the collaboration models, the government investment strategies, and the patience required. Whether you're technical or just curious about how transformative technologies emerge, Martin offers a grounded view of what's working, what's not, and why the quantum revolution looks more like slow, deliberate ecosystem building than overnight breakthroughs.What You'll LearnWhy quantum is both a science and engineering challenge and how the vacuum tube-to-transistor transition illuminates today's quantum journeyHow Quebec built a world-class quantum ecosystem starting from a 1970s university bet on condensed matter physics through to today's $400M provincial investmentThe infrastructure that matters: why Sherbrooke's six shared dilution fridges and quantum communication testbed represent a different collaboration modelWhat VCs actually look for in quantum startups beyond the technology—and why Martin believes early-stage investing is about building great companies, not just returnsThe three most dangerous misconceptions plaguing quantum technology (spoiler: it's not just about quantum computers)How regional quantum ecosystems should compete and collaborate with lessons from Netherlands, Chicago, and UK programsWhy fundamental research funding can't stop even as commercialization accelerates—and what happens when governments don't understand this balanceWhat "mutualized infrastructure" means in practice and why no single entity owning critical testbeds might be the secret sauceHow federal and provincial politics shape quantum strategy in Canada and what other countries can learn from itResources & LinksQuantacetInstitute for Quantum Computing (IQC)University of Sherbrooke Institute QuantiqueC2MI semiconductor fabrication facilityQuantumDELTAKey InsightsOn the science vs. engineering debate:"People ask if quantum computing is still a science problem or just engineering. It's both. Look at the vacuum tube to transistor transition—we needed new physics and new engineering. That's exactly where we are now."On ecosystem building:"Sherbrooke made a bet on condensed matter physics in the 1970s. Fifty years later, they have six dilution fridges available for rent and a quantum communication testbed owned by no one. That infrastructure patience is what builds real ecosystems."On VC philosophy:"Early-stage venture capital is about building great companies. The money is a byproduct. If you focus on the returns first, you'll make the wrong decisions every time."On common misconceptions:"The biggest myth is that quantum technology equals quantum computing. We have quantum sensors, quantum communications, post-quantum crypto—this is a multi-faceted industry, not a single magic box."On balancing research and commercialization:"You can't stop funding fundamental research just because commercialization is happening. The vacuum tube didn't kill physics research. We need both engines running or the whole thing stalls."Join the ConversationSubscribe to The New Quantum Era wherever you get your podcasts to hear more conversations with the people building quantum technology's future.

Instead of following trends, Satisfy chooses to build a brand that's different. Daniel said it best: “The easiest way to do something quite different is to not look at anything at all.”In a landscape where brands benchmark competitors and chase fleeting trends, Satisfy focuses on culture. They hire for it before skill, treat customers as guests, and think in decades rather than moments.This philosophy shines through in the Satisfy Pro Team. It's not just a sponsorship roster, but a reflection of the brand's commitment to process and discipline. The key takeaway: Most brands chase relevance, but Satisfy builds consistency. They react to culture, while Satisfy hires for it. They aim for long-term impact, not short-term hype.This conversation is a masterclass in long-term brand strategy and the discipline of saying no.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/CRUMwdDoj5o

Virtual learning didn't start as a tech experiment. It started as a capacity and access solution.In this conversation, Julie Young traces the early design logic behind Florida Virtual School—what problems it was built to solve in the mid-1990s, and what that origin story still reveals about rigor, relationships, student identity, and how to design learning systems that scale.You'll hear why the mission was never “deliver online,” but break the capacity ceiling—especially in places where schools couldn't staff courses, couldn't afford expansion, or literally didn't have rooms to add sections. Key Ideas and Moments1) “Virtual delivery was the means, not the mission.”Julie frames FLVS as a response to overcrowding, teacher shortages, and unequal course access—not a fascination with the internet.2) The AP “try it with a safety net” designAn early innovation: students could attempt AP coursework while having a built-in path back without public shame, sometimes even with the same teacher—reducing fear of failure and expanding who even tries advanced courses.3) Why some students “become a different person” onlineJulie describes how virtual learning can enable students who were failing or labeled in traditional settings to succeed because:they can move faster or slower without an audience,teachers can give more individualized attention,relationships can be built deliberately,bullying/social status pressures are reduced.4) Relationship-building as an operational system, not a vibeEarly FLVS practice emphasized front-loading relationship-building: extended calls, deep parent conversations, learning student voice through writing, and using that baseline for both instruction and academic integrity (in an era before tools like Turnitin).5) The parent's role: support pace, don't replace the teacherJulie is explicit that FLVS was designed with teachers responsible for learning, and parents as partners for pace, communication, and context—not as the primary instructor.6) What online makes possible in K–12 ↔ college pathwaysFrom ASU Prep Digital, Julie shares how online models remove “physical campus” and age-related barriers in dual enrollment—making authentic college coursework possible even for unusually accelerated middle school students.7) Why she wrote the book nowJulie's book aims to capture 30 years of policy, research, mistakes, and breakthroughs—the “drama and trauma” of building an industry that many newer educators only encountered through the distorted lens of 2020.Who This Episode Is ForPolicy and system leaders shaping virtual/hybrid strategyDistrict and school leaders designing scalable online programsInstructional designers and program operators trying to make relationships reliable at scaleAnyone tired of pandemic-era assumptions substituting for real historyLinks & ReferencesJulie Young Education - https://www.julieyoungeducation.com/Julie's new book Virtual Schools, Actual Learning: Digital Education in America (with Julie Peterson and Kay Johnson)Florida Virtual School - https://www.flvs.net/Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration - https://www.cilc.org/Learn more about Banyan Global Learning: https://www.banyangloballearning.com

Sue Serna - Social Media Security and Governance Leader and Lover of All BeaglesNo Password Required Season 7: Episode 2 - Sue SernaSue Serna is the CEO and Founder of Serna Social and the former head of global social media at Cargill. She brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and security.In this episode, she shares her journey from business reporter to leading her own consultancy serving companies around the world on social media strategy.Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A, joined by guest co-host Rex Wilson of Cyber Florida, welcomes Sue for a candid discussion about the realities of enterprise social media. From managing more than 150 Facebook pages for a single company, to navigating internal politics, agency relationships, and regulatory pressure, Sue explains why social media is far from “free” and why most organizations still under-resource it.Sue dives deep into the gap between social media teams and cybersecurity departments. She outlines how personal account compromises can escalate into enterprise-level incidents, why governance frameworks matter, and how large organizations can regain control of sprawling digital footprints. Drawing from real-world examples, she argues that social media must be treated like finance or HR, a core business function requiring structure, ownership, and accountability.The episode wraps with the Lifestyle Polygraph, where Sue reveals her love of Apollo-era space history, debates iconic Philadelphia traditions, and imagines what magical talent her beagle would bring to Hogwarts.Follow Sue at SernaSocial.com or connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sueserna/ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and First Impressions   02:45 The Evolving Role of Social Media in Corporations   04:58 Transitioning from Journalism to Social Media  11:11 Building Social Media from Scratch   13:00 Becoming a CEO and Founder   16:28 The Importance of Networking   16:54 Bridging the Gap Between Social Media and Cybersecurity  20:51 Real-World Social Media Security Incidents  28:35 Navigating Internal Conflicts in Social Media  30:32 The Lifestyle Polygraph Begins   31:17 Nerd Things That Expose Sue: Space and Harry Potter!  35:16 Sue's Love For Beagles  37:50 Wreckless Intern or Overconfident Executive?  40:42 Hogwarts and Magical Beagles 

What happens when you walk away from one identity and completely reinvent your life? In this episode, Paul sits down with Nathaniel Allenby entrepreneur, circus performer, author, and founder of Cirque Quirk and The Cycle of Kindness. Nathaniel's journey is anything but conventional. From becoming an international gaming champion to cycling 28,000 miles across 10 countries, to performing as a circus entertainer around the world, his life has been shaped by risk, resilience, and radical growth. But beneath the adventure is something deeper. This conversation explores growth mindset, identity shifts, endurance, fatherhood, and what it truly means to build a legacy rooted in service rather than ego. Nathaniel shares how adversity forged resilience, how performance taught him emotional intelligence, and why kindness is not weakness it's power.

The dreaded 3 putt. You know the odds of it increases the further you get from the hole. How often, from 35 feet, will a Tour pro, a scratch golfer, and a 20 index take three putts to finish the hole? Lou poses this question to Mark and Greg, and two of their answers are off by shocking margins. This might help manage expectations, but it's also a wake-up call: here's an element of the game that investing a little practice could bring big benefits. Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.

FREE Guide: The month-by-month roadmap to build your farm business from scratch. Grab it HERE I can look out my kitchen window and see Hayden's flower farm taking shape. She lives in a little cottage right on our family property, and I've had a front-row seat to every breakthrough and every meltdown. Hayden is 32. She moved back to the family farm after years of city life because — as she puts it — "it's so much more fulfilling to wake up and go outside and see things growing than there is at any corporate job, no matter how cushy it is." But the practical side of her kept saying no. She grew up watching how hard farming is. She's got good health insurance. She sits at a desk. Why would she go do that all over again? Because the dream wouldn't leave her alone. Sound familiar? In this episode, you'll hear the story behind the name "Big Oak Flower Farm" — it came from her childhood, when she and her cousins would call each other up and say "meet at the big oak in an hour" or "let's race to the big oak." When that name hit her in the car one day, she knew it was right. You'll hear her scrappy funding strategy: $500 saved from working twice a month on a neighbor's farm, driving her old pickup to get $10 loads of compost from the city waste treatment facility, and doing absolutely everything herself. We dig into three sales models she's weighing — CSA subscriptions for early cash flow, a little farm store for walk-up sales, and you-pick events (she's dreaming of "sunset in the flower field" evenings). And you'll hear me pushing back in real time on her decision to NOT start an email list yet. No formal training. No business degree. No trust fund. Just a woman figuring it out. If she can do it, so can you. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if The Profitable Farmer can break you out of marketing misery.

FREE Guide: The month-by-month roadmap to build your farm business from scratch. Grab it HERE It's been two months since Hayden decided this was happening, and things are getting messy in the best way. The work party? Eight friends showed up at 10 a.m. and worked for hours pulling out buried metal, layers of old landscape fabric, and foot-long weed roots. At the end, they all thanked HER. Turns out people stuck in apartments and suburbs are genuinely excited to get muddy on a farm. She's got 20-foot rows going in, her first seedlings planted, and a grow tent crammed into an 8-by-12 converted shed she can barely fit inside. On the business side — website drama. She built the entire site on Shopify, hated it, and started over on Squarespace. Hear why, and what she learned about choosing the right platform when you're small and seasonal and need to throw up a product listing in 15 minutes, not 2 hours. She launched her email list February 10th and hit 43 subscribers in the first month — half of them strangers she doesn't recognize. She got them without spending a dime, just word of mouth and Instagram. Her welcome email includes a survey, and the responses are already shaping her sales plan: more people want grab-and-go bouquets than subscriptions, and at least one person signed up specifically to support a small, queer-owned farm business. We also get into what's next: a possible Mother's Day peony pop-up, selling bouquets through local coffee shops and wineries, a creative idea about marketing to real estate agents for closing gifts, and why she's skipping farmers markets entirely. You'll hear real-time decision making, plenty of second-guessing, and both of us laughing at the chaos of figuring this out as she goes. This is what it really looks like to build a farm business from nothing. No polish. No playbook. Just figuring it out. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if The Profitable Farmer can break you out of marketing misery.

For the last several billion years, all life on Earth has progressed according to the rules of evolution by natural selection – a step-by-step process that has given rise to the fascinating complexity and beauty of all the living things we share our planet with. But now, due to advances in our knowledge of genetics and the rise of artificial intelligence, we're on the brink of being able to design living organisms from scratch. This new field of research is known as generative biology. In this episode, we're joined by Adrian Woolfson, a researcher who specialises in synthetic genome design, to talk about his latest book On the Future of Species – Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence. He tells us how this fascinating area of research is bringing us closer to a genuine scientific revolution that could change the way we think about how life is created, the vast implications that this may have on human health and the health of our planet, and why we all need to be aware of this powerful new technology and its potential.

Nick and Jonathan react to Dan Patrick questioning if the Browns can make Deshaun Watson a healthy scratch this season. Also, Nick talks about his injuries, and they discuss the target audience for the Olympics.

In this episode, we tackle a conversation many professionals are quietly having: what it really means to start over. Not because we failed, but because the rules changed. Markets shifted, costs rose, and what once worked no longer does.We unpack how rebuilding begins with getting honest about where we are today, taking stock of our skills, relationships, and lessons learned, and letting go of identities tied to past success. We talk about the importance of reassessing who we listen to, finding energy through aligned action, and rediscovering the joy of being a beginner again.We also explore the emotional side of rebuilding, including ego, expectations, and the fear of letting go of what once was. The takeaway is clear: don't be intoxicated by past success or hungover from past failure. This next chapter isn't about going backward. It's about building forward, smarter, clearer, and more aligned than ever.We talk about:[00:00] Introduction and Welcome[01:56] Who Should Be in Your Circle When Rebuilding?[03:02] How Do You Get Honest About Where You Are Now?[05:45] Where Does Energy Come From When You're Burned Out?[08:45] What Should You Keep Doing—and What Should You Let Go?[10:26] How Do You Rebuild After Debt, Losses, and Setbacks?[15:49] How Do Ego and Identity Get in the Way of Starting Again?[21:49] Setting Aside Our Old Version of What We Used to Do.[30:42] OutroResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Forged by Fire: Jesse James on Craftsmanship, Controversy, and ReinventionThis week, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Jesse James, one of the most influential custom motorcycle builders of the modern era. A fabricator at heart and an old-school craftsman by trade, Jesse is best known as the founder of West Coast Choppers, a brand that redefined the custom chopper world with raw metal, rigid frames, and uncompromising attention to detail.Jesse's journey began in his mother's garage, where he learned the art of fabrication under the mentorship of legendary hot rod builder Boyd Coddington. What started as a passion for building with his hands quickly evolved into a full-scale operation in Long Beach, California—one that would grow to employ more than 50 people and produce hand-built motorcycles commanding prices from $50,000 to $150,000.His rise to national fame came through the Discovery Channel's Motorcycle Mania, which gave viewers an unfiltered look into his shop, his process, and his relentless standards. That exposure led to Monster Garage, cementing Jesse as a household name and a defining figure in reality-based automotive television.Known for crafting—not assembling—his bikes, Jesse's signature style emphasizes stretched frames, precision metalwork, and function-driven design over flash. His work has been commissioned by high-profile clients including Kid Rock and Shaquille O'Neal, further solidifying his influence across culture, sports, and entertainment.In 2010, after facing both personal and business challenges, Jesse closed the original West Coast Choppers headquarters and relocated to Texas. There, he rebuilt—both personally and professionally—continuing to create custom machines and expanding into new ventures, including firearms manufacturing and direct-to-consumer media through platforms like OTLW.tv.In this episode, Jesse opens up about learning discipline and skill the hard way, building a brand from nothing, the cost of fame and fast success, and why craftsmanship, grit, and honesty still matterThis is a raw, no-nonsense conversation about earning your skills, owning your mistakes, and building something real—one weld at a time.In this episode you will hear:• I went to Iraq in '03, a month after we invaded. We did a USO tour and Kid Rock went and invited me. Nobody from USO knew who I was, so I told them I was, so I lied and said I was his tour manager. (1:13)• I ended up going t jail my senior year for stealing cars. (14:47)• I went to college and it was like crabs trying to get out of a barrel. (15:25)• I was always working in the garage, building bikes. I had a Harley in High school. I was restoring bicycles, and building Volkswagons and sending them to Japan. I was hustling. (16:11)• From my parents being antique dealers, I had a huge, pretty valuable tin toy collection. Like really rare Mark 10 toys worth thousands of dollars. I loaded ‘em up in my car and took ‘em to the big toy show in Pasadena. I sold them all to a dealer, and I used that money to buy a mill and a lathe and a welder for my garage. (23:27)• If you're gonna wait for the right time, that's never coming. (23:51)• My dad started me really young working. I literally despised him for it. And now I'm thankful because I have this relentless work ethic. (25:01)• I restored a 1940 or '41 bicycle called the Hiawatha Chippewa. I bought it for $100. (29:08)• The first thing I ever made was a dust pan. (32:33)• I was getting pai $750 a week salary, and at night I was making about 15 grand a week, making and shipping fenders. (43:56)• If you would watch the Discovery channel in '99 and 2000, they would run [my documentary on how a motorcycle gets built by hand] over and over. It was the highest rated show in the history of the network. (53:32)• I did 118 cars. (56:43)• I love taking about what I do. I love interaction. (60:11)• [Marcus] When you're driving into work early – with an hour difference – what type of cars are on the road early in the morning as opposed to the ones during rush hour. I heard that. (61:47)• Success in this country, and in the world, isn't defined by tactile skills. (62:40)• I'm eliminating everything in my life that keeps me from working and being a craftsman.
