What if having more fun was the key to being a better founder?Seriously. Not just to feel good, but to actually unlock better decisions, more creativity, and a business that's built to last.In this episode, I sit down with Freddie, founder of POP and one of the most insightful coaches I know. We talk about something that doesn't get spoken about enough in founder circles: how to reconnect with yourself as you scale. Not in a fluffy way. But in a practical, energising, real kind of way.Together, we unpack:• The internal work that often gets left behind. • The difference between grinding through growth and actually enjoying the ride. • Why so many founders feel guilty for wanting things to be fun• Practical advise on how to make your scaling journey more enjoyableIf you're feeling stretched, stuck, or like you're starting to lose the spark you had at the beginning… give it a watch!About Freddie:Freddie has always been fascinated by what makes people tick. She started out in anthropology, then spent years headhunting top-tier venture investors, meeting 1000s of people across the tech ecosystem. That curiosity led her into coaching, where she's trained with some of the world's leading thinkers in psychology, philosophy, breathwork, and leadership development. Through her practice, POP, she now works with ambitious founders and investors—helping them scale their impact without losing themselves in the process. Her clients include 100+ VC-backed founders, from early-stage to unicorns, backed by funds like Sequoia, General Catalyst, Lightspeed, Atomico, and Northzone.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

 What happens when a city kid from Lincoln Heights stares into the glowing red eyes of something unexplainable in the Yosemite wilderness — and walks away changed forever? In this gripping and eerie episode, we sit down with Rudy Escobar, a Southern California native who shares multiple encounters with creatures he believes were Bigfoot, stretching from the shadowy pines of Sequoia National Park to the moonlit lake edges of Yosemite. Rudy recounts the terrifying moment when a creature stood up — over nine feet tall — with glowing candy-apple red eyes, walking smoothly across the forest like it was gliding. From childhood dreams and paralyzing fear to logs thrown at his car and strange psychic abilities, Rudy's story is more than just an encounter — it's a haunting transformation. You'll hear tales from Dorst Camp and the San Bernardino Mountains — and by the end, you'll wonder what you would do if a tree started watching you back.

In the Rearview MirrorIn the summer of 1961, two 18-year-old boys from Cleveland set out on an audacious cross-country adventure. With little more than $40 each and a thirst for new experiences, Lee Livingston and his best friend "Dango" embarked on a journey that would shape their lives forever.From the misty forests of Sequoia to the neon lights of Las Vegas, from freight-hopping through New Mexico to sharing beers with unlikely companions, Lee and Dango's trip captures America on the brink of momentous change. As they thumb rides in muscle cars, befriend truckers and families, and push the boundaries of their sheltered upbringings, the boys hurtle towards adulthood with reckless abandon.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Con l'arrivo della primavera, la Fondazione Magnani-Rocca celebra questo soggetto eterno con una mostra unica: oltre 150 opere, dai maestri del Simbolismo all'Arte contemporanea, trasformano la Villa dei Capolavori in un giardino d'arte e poesia.La mostra Flora. L'incanto dei fiori nell'arte italiana dal Novecento a oggi è in programma dal 15 marzo al 29 giugno 2025 alla Villa dei Capolavori, sede della Fondazione Magnani-Rocca a Mamiano di Traversetolo (Parma), immersa nello splendore del Parco Romantico, appena restaurato. Col suo giardino all'italiana, il giardino all'inglese, il biolago e il nuovo giardino contemporaneo ispirato al New Perennial Movement, il Parco offre un'esperienza multisensoriale che cambia con il susseguirsi delle stagioni.Oltre 150 capolavori per un omaggio floreale all'arte italianaLa mostra presenta oltre 150 capolavori “floreali” dei più grandi maestri dell'arte italiana, da fine Ottocento fino alla contemporaneità. Le Ortensie di Segantini, Longoni e Fornara, le Dalie di Previati e Donghi, l'esplosiva Flora magica di Depero e i mazzi ipnotici di fiordalisi, papaveri e margherite di Casorati, il Gladiolo fulminato di de Pisis e i Crisantemi di de Chirico e Cremona. Accanto a queste meraviglie, le sale della Villa ospitano un percorso che attraversa Simbolismo, Futurismo, Realismo magico, Astrazione e le nuove forme espressive della contemporaneità.Parallelamente viene presentato il restauro del Parco Romantico che circonda la Villa dei Capolavori: un gioiello paesaggistico unico in Italia che si estende per dodici ettari e che comprende un giardino all'inglese, un giardino all'italiana e il nuovo giardino contemporaneo.Un patrimonio verde con centinaia di nuovi alberi, arbusti e fiori, con piante esotiche e monumentali a circondare la villa che fu dimora di Luigi Magnani. Il Parco Romantico conserva anche tre esemplari maestosi iscritti nell'Elenco degli alberi monumentali d'Italia: Cedrus libani, Sequoia sempervirens, Platanus hybrida, che sono stati oggetto di cure speciali. Con l'aggiunta di un biolago e l'esperienza multisensoriale del nuovo giardino contemporaneo ispirato al New Perennial Movement, in cui i visitatori saranno avvolti da un'esplosione di colori e profumi, immersi in un paesaggio che cambia nei mesi, stagione dopo stagione. Un restauro realizzato grazie al supporto del Ministero della Cultura con i fondi PNRR. Luigi Magnani, precursore di una sensibilità ambientale sorprendentemente moderna per il suo tempo, è stato tra i fondatori di Italia Nostra, uno dei primi movimenti ambientalisti italiani, impegnato nella protezione integrale del patrimonio culturale e ambientale del Paese. Questa visione pionieristica dimostra la sua profonda attenzione per la salvaguardia della bellezza e della natura, in un periodo storico in cui la coscienza ambientalista non era ancora così affermata.Fondazione Magnani-Rocca, via Fondazione Magnani-Rocca 4, Mamiano di Traversetolo (Parma).Mostra e Catalogo (Dario Cimorelli Editore) a cura di Daniela Ferrari e Stefano Roffi, con saggi dei curatori e di Carlo Mambriani, Elisa Martini, Sergio Risaliti, Chiara Vorrasi, oltre alle immagini di tutte le opere esposte.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

For years, KZYX news has covered the devastation of the bull kelp forest off the Mendocino Coast, and its resulting impacts, including purple urchin barrens, the loss of the abalone and red urchin fisheries, the economic impacts on coastal businesses and local communities, and the related demise of the sunflower sea stars. Sequoias of the Sea is a documentary about this bull kelp disaster. Directed by Natasha Benjamin and Anna Blanco, it will be featured at a long list of film festivals and climate conferences, nationally and internationally. And it's showing at the Mendocino Film Festival on May 30th.  It looks back at the last seven years and what amounted to an emergency response from the local community. Most of the people featured in the documentary live and work on the coast in a variety of professions. They all have one thing in common: bring back the kelp. Benjamin and Blanco spoke to KZYX about the film and their inspiration. In the film, they cover many aspects of the story and engage with scientists, local tribes, fishermen, and sport divers.  For more information, you can access their website at sequoiasofthesea.org

In this week's extended Stoppage Time episode, we dive into reflections and fresh takeaways from my fascinating conversation with Scottish entrepreneur Chris Herd — the founder of Firstbase, which was recently acquired by AppDirect after raising millions in venture capital from top-tier firms like Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.Joining us from his hometown of Aberdeen, Chris shares powerful insights on the future of remote work, building entrepreneurial ecosystems beyond Silicon Valley, and what it really means for a founder to exit a company. We also take a surprising historical turn, uncovering Scotland's deep and often overlooked influence on the industrial and modern economic world.This is more than just a conversation about startups and remote work — it's a thoughtful, personal, and at times philosophical journey through leadership, legacy, and the evolution of work over the next 50 years.If you're into entrepreneurship, remote-first thinking, or just love hearing from passionate, grounded leaders who think big — this one's for you.So sit back, press play, and stay with me through the full episode — you'll be glad you did. See you every Friday, right here, for more Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob.

Recorded live at Sequoia's AI Ascent 2025: LangChain CEO Harrison Chase introduces the concept of ambient agents, AI systems that operate continuously in the background responding to events rather than direct human prompts. Learn how these agents differ from traditional chatbots, why human oversight remains essential and how this approach could dramatically scale our ability to leverage AI.

Our last episode on second editions of the games Santorini and Tortuga 1667 reminded me about another second edition of a family favorite game that's out now: Parks designed by Henry Audubon and published by Keymaster Games. We covered the first edition of Parks way back on episode 7 of the podcast, and I thought I would reshare that episode here on the podcast feed in honor of the new edition of Parks. In this episode, I'm changing things up a bit and recommending a great board game for couples: Parks by Keymaster Games.I'm a big fan of the US National Parks, ever since I took my kids out west on what we called the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Tour. We saw the largest of each: we went whale-watching off the coast of San Francisco, we saw redwoods and sequoias in California, and we visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona. We visited three National Parks during that trip—Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia—and each of them provided amazing sights and experiences.The board game Parks, designed by Henry Audubon, does a great job of capturing the beauty and wonder of the US National Parks. It is the prettiest game I own, with stunning artwork from the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series. In the game, you take on the role of hikers, exploring the great outdoors and visiting as many National Parks as you can.We have two special guests in this episode. My wife Emily stops by for some color commentary and thoughts on why she enjoys playing Parks. Also, Matt Aiken from Keymaster Games joins us to talk about the origin of the game and why he thinks it's a great game for couples and to tell some stories of people playing PARKS in the great outdoors.See my photos of Parks, First Edition.Learn more about Parks, Second Edition.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:“Open Road,” “Sunbeam,” and “Summer in Paradise,” https://www.purple-planet.com/.Send us a text

Jeremy Au pulls back the curtain on Southeast Asia's high-stakes venture capital world where 5,000 startups fight through the jungle, but only 10 reach the expressway. It's a ruthless game of asymmetric bets, power-law outcomes, and make-or-break timing. He reveals what really happens inside VC firms: how general partners juggle investor pressure with founder bets, why a single breakout startup matters more than dozens of average ones, and how the best founders move faster than anyone expects. You'll hear about billion-dollar exits, internal prioritization dynamics, and why follow-on capital is often more political than rational. 01:11 GPs Must Master Dual Survival Skills: Jeremy explains that general partners in VC funds must do two high-cost, high-stakes things: invest in the right startups, and raise capital from limited partners like sovereign funds and endowments each with different return horizons and motivations. 03:57 Real Case Studies: 50x in 3 Years, 10x in 1: He shares two explosive examples: Sequoia's $60M investment in WhatsApp returned $3B (a 50x return in 3 years), and a Danish startup acquired by Sonos returned 10x in one year without ever launching a product. 07:00 VC Funnel: Brutal Qualification from 5,000 to 10: A sample Southeast Asia VC sees ~5,000 startups a year. 3,500–4,000 are immediately disqualified. 300 are prioritized. 100 get diligence. 10 get funded. Most never get a meeting, let alone a check. 10:32 Exit Scenarios: Billion-Dollar Choices & Regret: Jeremy breaks down how VCs navigate exits via shutdowns, talent acquisitions, or full IPOs.

Mendocino's Bull Kelp Disaster Captured on FilmFor years, KZYX news has covered the devastation of the bull kelp forest off the Mendocino Coast, and its resulting impacts, including purple urchin barrens, the loss of the abalone and red urchin fisheries, the economic impacts on coastal businesses and local communities, and the related demise of the sunflower sea stars. Sequoias of the Sea is a documentary about this bull kelp disaster. Directed by Natasha Benjamin and Anna Blanco, it will be featured nationally and internationally at a long list of film festivals and climate conferences. And it's showing at the Mendocino Film Festival on May 30th.  It looks back at the last seven years and what amounted to an emergency response from the local community. Most of the people featured in the documentary live and work on the coast in a variety of professions. They all have one thing in common: bring back the kelp. Benjamin and Blanco spoke to KZYX about their inspiration for the documentary. In the film, they cover many aspects of the story and engage with scientists, local tribes, fishermen, and sport divers.  For more information, you can access their website at sequoiasofthesea.org

Sequoia, 15min., Switzerland Directed by Michelle Künzler Sequoia, a diligent AI maid, works for the captivating yet mysterious Mrs. Terrance. Although not designed to harbor any emotions, Sequoia starts developing sentience, when a certain sound triggers a feeling inside her that feels oddly familiar – and human. Forced to conceal her newfound emotions to evade shutdown, Sequoia embarks on a dangerous quest for truth, tearing at the seams of her own identity and re-evaluating the intricate power dynamics that govern her place within the household. http://sequoia-shortfilm.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sequoia_shortfilm/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I started writing ‘Sequoia,' when AI tools like ChatGPT were rapidly gaining traction and the Hollywood strikes were unfolding, motivating me to explore the ethical implications and potential dangers of AI. The film was also deeply inspired by my personal experience. Growing up in a traditional household with a stay-at-home mom, I didn't initially grasp the value and scope of unpaid domestic labor until I got older. As a feminist filmmaker, I wanted to pay tribute to housewives like my mother and shed light on that often overlooked, gendered work while connecting it to the theme of AI. I was particularly interested in the way modern technology intersects with gender roles—given that today's AI assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Ameca are still predominantly female in name, voice, and/or appearance. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? It took 20 months. The idea for ‘Sequoia' first came to me in April 2023, and I completed the film in November 2024. How would you describe your film in two words!? Feminist dystopia What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? There were quite a few challenges throughout the entire project—from budget and time constraints to assembling the right crew. However, the biggest hurdle came during production as we fell behind schedule due to constant noise disruptions during exterior filming and a stunt scene that look longer to shoot than expected, resulting in an unplanned pick-up shoot. With some key crew members no longer available for the reshoot, it was difficult to find replacements and maintain continuity. Still, I'm proud to have persevered and overcome this obstacle. I've certainly learned and grown a lot from this experience. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Hearing the audience talk about my film, when it's usually the other way around, felt like a rare and special moment. It was incredibly rewarding and refreshing to just listen to their honest feedback and kind words, and it was especially satisfying to learn that the twist at the end genuinely surprised them.

Mikah Sargent takes viewers on a comprehensive tour of the Passwords app in macOS Sequoia, demonstrating how this robust tool serves as a complete credential management system. From passkeys to verification codes and shared passwords, Mikah explores how Apple has created a secure yet user-friendly solution for managing all your login information across devices. Passkeys - These are created automatically when you set up passkey authentication on websites, with limited editing options but the ability to add notes or modify the associated website. Verification codes - Users can add two-factor authentication codes either by entering setup keys manually or scanning QR codes. Wi-Fi - The app stores Wi-Fi network credentials, displays network security information (WPA2/WPA3), and lets users generate QR codes for easy sharing. Security recommendations - The app alerts users when passwords may be compromised in data breaches using Apple's differential privacy techniques that protect user privacy. Password sharing feature - Users can create groups to share specific login credentials with family members or others, with granular control over which passwords are shared. Password importing - The app supports importing passwords from CSV files, though Mikah strongly recommends deleting these files immediately after import for security. Cross-device synchronization - All passwords sync across Apple devices with end-to-end encryption via iCloud. Windows compatibility - Even Windows users can access their passwords through the iCloud Passwords app, making it a versatile solution.

My guest today is Matt Huang, co-founder of Paradigm, a leading crypto investment firm with over $12 billion in assets under management. Before launching Paradigm in 2018 with Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Matt was a partner at Sequoia Capital, where he led many of the firm's crypto investments. It's widely reported that Michael Moritz called Matt “the only regrettable loss in Sequoia's history.” In our conversation, Matt shares his framework for navigating the often illegible frontier of crypto, how his early investment in ByteDance (now worth 10,000x his initial capital) shaped his approach to identifying exceptional founders, and why he believes so deeply in crypto's long-term potential. His firm, Paradigm, not only invests in many of the leading companies in the industry, it also builds open-source tools used by most of crypto. Matt has a rare blend of IQ and EQ that allows him to understand technical complexity, bring together unique talents, and ride out crypto's notorious volatility. Whether you're crypto-curious or crypto-skeptical, I think you'll find his perspective valuable. Please enjoy my great conversation with Matt Huang. Matt Huang's Profile in Colossus Review.
