Hi friends! For this episode we have chosen a little different format. For one reason. Mike just raised a 6.3 million seed round with his startup Blair. Since we have a lot of founders as listeners, we thought it would be exciting to take a look behind the curtain and understand how Mike and his team made it happen. So Max took the chance to ask him all the important questions about the round! Feel free to let us know on the social media channels if you enjoyed it. You can find us everywhere as @MaxElster and @MikeMahlkow. Talk soon!
As many begin to transition back to normal life in the states one thing remains the same....and that's spending way too much time finding something to watch. So Max and John made it easy for you and will be breaking down their unconventional streaming recommendations.

A graduate of the American Film Institute's directing program, Max Weissberg co-produced and appeared in the feature documentary film, Hotel Gramercy Park, which included cameos by Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, Karl Lagerfeld, and Kanye West. The film earned a jury citation at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and screened on the Sundance Channel for several years. Max’s micro-budget feature film, Summertime, screened at festivals including SXSW and won best screenplay at First Time Fest. The film is now available on over a dozen VOD outlets worldwide. In 2013, Max's AFI thesis film, Karaganda, set in a Soviet prison camp, was "top 5" jury-selected for the 2014 AFI DGA showcase and won 5 festival awards in 26 film festivals. Max is currently in the midst of a crowd-equity campaign for the feature version of Karaganda and has so far raised over $130,000 from 155 investors on Startengine.com/Karaganda. Max's day job is at Viacom, where he works as a producer/editor. His work there has appeared on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, TV Land, and Paramount networks. “Well, I think if you cannot explain what the need is for something, then there probably is no need for it.” Max Weissberg Worst investment ever Jumping onto the cryptocurrency market bandwagon Two years ago, Max was probably the only one among his peers who thought that the cryptocurrency market was a total scam. The Bitcoin investment mania had taken off at this point, and there were millionaires left, right, and center. However, his instincts told him that the coin would fall. However, he went against his instincts and decided to join the crypto bandwagon after attending an event at the National Arts club about cryptocurrency. The hype about cryptocurrency was so big, with everyone in attendance talking about how Bitcoin was the future. When they asked the room, who owned a digital currency, most of the room raised their hands. So Max was sold, and he figured that he didn’t want to be the last one on this gravy train. Kind of the same feeling I had when I went one to become one of the thousands who followed the herd to big losses in the dot com era. Without a second thought, he went ahead and took $800 and put it in cryptocurrency. Theory of a bigger fool than the digital currency investor In December 2017, Bitcoin’s value stood at about $19,000. This price went up and down a little bit. And then the prices collapsed. Max was a little bit surprised, but admittedly, he had seen it coming. He had ignored his own advice. So why would he make such an investment mistake when his instinct told him not to? Well, Max went along with the theory of a bigger fool than him, which most people who invested in Bitcoin believed in. The theory poses that there has to be a bigger fool out there. Someone who would believe in the craze and buy his Bitcoin, and he’d make a profit. The idea of intelligent people espousing this philosophy won him over, and he hoped that there was just a huge amount of people who had an interest in crypto trading. He assumed that there were hundreds of billions of dollars of money in the cryptocurrency market. He believed there had to be an institutional investor or somebody out there putting this money. Unfortunately, that was not to be. Max sold his Bitcoins for a fraction of what he had paid. All his Litecoins were almost worth nothing by the time he sold it. Luckily, he knew going in that he did not want to put more money into it than he could afford to lose. It pays to ‘sleep on it’ The number one mistake that Max made was to rush into making the worst investment without giving it as much as a second thought. He fell immediately for the hype that he should have 1% of his assets in digital currencies. Immediately after the event, he went on Coinbase, opened an account, and transferred money the next day. He bought three cryptocurrencies, but mainly Bitcoin. He was excited by the volatility of Bitcoin. One day it would go up 10%, the next day, it would go down. Until it went completely down, and he lost his investment. Lessons learned If you can’t pin down the benefit, there may not be one If you cannot explain what the need is for something, chances are that it’s not something necessary and will, therefore, not bring you any benefit. Intelligent people do dumb things Just because you hold someone in high esteem don’t take up their investment advice blindly. You also have to cut through the clutter and not follow mass hysteria. Try to stick to your investing principles. Andrew’s takeaways Do your research Don’t jump the gun on any investment before doing thorough research. Find out just how solid the investment plan is. Had Max taken time to research the cryptocurrency market, he’d have found out that the excitement about Bitcoin was just a hype that would fade out quickly. He’d probably have been able to save himself from making the worst investment decision. Don’t be driven by emotion or flawed thinking It's very common for people who are selling their idea about investing in something to be so convincing and confident in their arguments, that it puts a level of confidence in you. Put your emotions aside when making any investment decisions. Don’t be overconfident Be careful about being overconfident about an idea. Remember that the person selling the idea to you has been telling this story 1,000 times, they've figured out the hot buttons of the audience. They know what they're doing. No matter how smart you are, if you’re not careful, you can make mistakes with your money. Because smart people have feelings, just like everybody else. Actionable advice Don’t make hasty decisions Before you make an investment decision, take some time out to yourself and sleep on it. Take a few days and let the emotion pass then see if that investment makes sense without the emotion. “If you don't do things quickly, I think you'll always have a slow and less emotional approach to things and how you invest and probably do better off in the long run.” Max Weissberg No. 1 goal for next the 12 months Max’s number one goal is to make the Karaganda film and have it in theaters. And also make a profit from it. This film tells the story of Vladimir, a prisoner in a Soviet prison camp on a mission to rescue his wife, a journey that will transform him into a powerful crime boss in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Max’s greatest desire is to prove that the crowd-equity model can work in the feature film industry too. So go on and support his crowd-equity campaign on Startengine.com/Karaganda.

Max Holiday has been Integrating CircuitPython into many aspects of his PhD research at Stanford University, we had a great time together chatting, thank you Max! #python #circuitpython #adafruit Topics included: KickSat-2 development yielded the PyCubed project and after Max's talk at SmallSat 2019 over 60 universities have reached out wanting to use and/or incorporate PyCubed into the Cubesat development efforts. All of the radiation testing, data collection, etc ... for the research is collected using CircuitPython I’m real excited lately with the time-of-flight ranging capability of the Semtech SX1280 radios. So Max built a breakout that fits existing HopeRF footprints and published a working (albeit rough around the edges) CircuitPython library! Max was in NYC for this Keysight IoT competition. Using the KickSat-2 CircuitPython platform (the small form-factor sprites), Max's team worked with a chemical engineering group at Stanford to develop a completely new means of measuring ammonia concentrations in water. The mesh network: gateways, sensing nodes, etc… are all using CircuitPython. THEY WON! Max's contributions to the maker community and Stanford curriculum include: Max developed the SAM32 board as a “catch-all” or swiss-army knife for student projects, it's is now part the curriculum in 5+ courses in the fall. One example, Eng240, is a MEMS course that’s historically been purely theory-based. However, Prof. Roger Howe and Max have overhauled the class to include labs in the fall. The first of which have students assembling their own SAM32, the second has students designing their own “marco” accelerometer using PCBs. Everything is driven with CircuitPython. Max is a self described soldering nerd - and was completely dissatisfied with resources online for folks learning to solder. Max made a very polished tutorial with a self-assessment quiz. Then coupled it with a soldering practice + exam board for Stanford students to use. We'll be posting more later, wanted to get this out there now so it made it in to our Python on Hardware newsletter!

It's been a few days and people can't stop talking about the derby between LAFC and the Galaxy. So Max and Vince are here to give their takes on what was probably one of the most electric regular-season matches in MLS history. There was an epic rock 'n' roll tifo with smoke and lights. There were four goals in the first 15 minutes. There was an MLS debut for Brian Rodríguez. And there was a huge response from LAFC to come back from a two-goal deficit. Unfortunately, the Black & Gold couldn't find the fourth goal but it was a result to take something from nonetheless. The guys talk about some of the things they saw during the match and how this bodes well for LAFC down the stretch. In the middle segment, LAFC Team Coordinator Mitchell Monihan joins the guys to take us through how a new player goes from completing his transfer to ending up in an LAFC uniform. Mitch and the LAFC staff worked hard over the last couple of weeks to get Brian Rodríguez cleared and available for the Galaxy match. He takes us through finding out Brian would be an LAFC player, to getting his paperwork completed, and all the way up to the derby. In the final segment, we review the six LAFC players called up for international duty and talk about the potential games they'll miss. A lot of info in this episode and great insight.

Max starts off his late night broadcast by getting totally distracted by of all things, ghosts, cars and dogs. It takes Max’s long suffering producer Dan a few minutes to get Max back in line and to focus on the topics of the day, tariffs, Trump and so much more, but not before Max questions yet again why people think that Tesla’s are actually good cars. So Max starts off riffing about tariffs and how they will affect “zee Germans” who manufacture BMW, Mercedes and others in states that voted for Trump. Max also reminisces about how he was sworn at for the first time on the radio, which Max wonders has he finally lost his radio virginity? And if you think that Donald isn’t itching to place tariffs on German luxury cars, then Max has a bridge in Brooklyn he would like to sell you. Of course these tariffs will also have a negative effect on future investment. Next Max reminds us all that Russia is actually not a strong country at all, but is in fact a country that puts on a good show. Max also explains of all things his difficulty on ordering milkshakes from a drive through.
