Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads his Bits about Money essay on how credit cards make money. The prompt was a listener who wondered how a card can include free travel insurance for someone who never carries a balance. He covers the four ways a card earns revenue (net interest, interchange, fees and marketing contributions), and explains why rewards competition makes some customers in the middle of the credit score ladder persistently unprofitable. He also explains why Europe's interchange cap left cards at about half of electronic payments, while Japan's uncapped interchange quietly pays for the rest of its consumer banking. In a new postscript, he walks through what a proposed 10% APR cap would mean for cardholders at the low end of the market, and how First Republic made sub-10% unsecured loans work by treating them as a way to win deposits.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/why-banks-pay-you-to-use-their-credit-cards/  –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Jeff Mains sits down with James Gourley, a patent attorney and IP litigator who has spent 20 years on both sides of intellectual property disputes — from filing patents and trademarks to defending companies against infringement claims. This episode is a practical, plain-English guide to the IP fundamentals every SaaS and tech founder needs to get right before the scary letter arrives. They cover trademark due diligence, the "work made for hire" trap with contractors, the unsettled legal frontier of AI-generated code, how trade secrets actually work, why software patents are getting slightly easier to obtain, and what a well-structured IP portfolio does for your valuation at exit. James's core message: IP protection is a rounding error in cost compared to what it saves you on the back end — and the regret is always about what you didn't do early enough.Key Takeaways0:00 — A trade secret is anything that gives your company a competitive advantage that you've taken reasonable measures to keep secret.1:46 — Most founders don't find out whether they actually own their company name until the worst possible moment — right before a raise or mid-acquisition.4:22 — The first thing founders should do when naming a company is check whether anyone else is already using a similar name for something similar.6:36 — Before you build and ship, run a freedom-to-operate search to see if someone already holds a patent you might be infringing.9:29 — To get a patent through the USPTO, your invention must be both novel and non-obvious over everything that came before.11:19 — Patent examiners are time-constrained and often miss prior art, so invalid patents do get issued — but they can be invalidated in court.16:18 — If you hire a contractor and the contract has no IP assignment clause, the contractor owns the work by default — not you.18:46 — As the law stands today, AI-generated code and content cannot be copyrighted — nobody owns it.21:12 — Trade secrets require you to take reasonable measures like restricting access on a need-to-know basis, not just calling something "secret."25:14 — Filing a trademark gives you presumptive nationwide rights as of the filing date, and it's incredibly cheap relative to other business costs.27:14 — Software patents may be getting slightly easier to obtain after a decade of difficulty, thanks to new USPTO examiner guidance.29:51 — When filing a software patent, think through future roadmap variations and alternative implementations — not just what you're shipping today.32:35 — Don't take matters into your own hands when someone copies you — get legal counsel to calibrate how aggressive you should be.34:15 — Never throw an infringement letter in the trash — an attorney can quickly tell you whether the plaintiff is serious or a paper tiger.36:02 — Fake, AI-generated law firms are sending cease-and-desist letters as shakedown scams — always verify the sender is real.38:21 — In the next 30 days, start with trademark registration — it's the cheapest, highest-leverage IP move you can make early.Tweetable Quotes"If you have AI create what would otherwise be a copyrightable work, nobody owns the copyright." — James Gourley, 18:46"You gotta have a good contract if you want to own the IP." — James Gourley, 18:22"It's never too early to start looking at protecting the trademark." — James Gourley, 39:04"The regret is usually not that I spent money on lawyers to protect the IP. It's that we tried to save a little bit of money and it's costing us a lot on the back end." — James Gourley, 39:14"IP isn't paperwork you get around to later. It's the ground your company is actually standing on." — Jeff Mains, 41:51"If you can be aggressive in response, sometimes it makes them go away." — James Gourley, 13:48SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Trademark diligence is free — skipping it is not. Before you name your company or product, run a basic search. The standard isn't exact match — it's "likelihood of confusion." A name that's spelled slightly differently or uses a shared key term can still trigger a dispute years later when both companies grow into overlapping markets. The cost of a trademark search is zero; the cost of rebranding mid-acquisition is enormous.2. No assignment clause, no ownership. The "work made for hire" doctrine covers employees by default — but contractors, agencies, and freelance developers own what they create unless your contract explicitly says otherwise. The wedding photographer example says it all: you hired them, you paid them, but without a transfer clause, they own the photos. Every contractor agreement your company signs should include an IP assignment provision. One clause changes everything.3. AI-generated IP is legally unownable — plan accordingly. If AI writes your code or generates your logo, you likely can't copyright it. The current legal landscape says AI-created works have no copyright owner — period. For hybrid human/AI codebases, you'd need to disclaim the AI-generated portions in a copyright registration. This is a bleeding-edge issue that will be litigated for years. Until then, founders building on AI-assisted code should understand they may have no legal recourse if that code is copied.4. Trade secrets demand least-privilege access, not just labels. Calling something a "trade secret" doesn't make it one. You have to show a judge you took reasonable measures — and that means limiting access to people who genuinely need it. A CRM that every employee can open weakens your claim. Restrict permissions, use document management tools, and document your access controls. If someone walks out with the data, you need to prove you tried to protect it.5. Patent for the roadmap, not just the release. Software evolves faster than the patent process. If you file on what you're shipping today but your product migrates six months later, your patent may no longer cover what you actually built. When filing a software patent, describe not just your current implementation but alternative approaches and future variations you can foresee. The patent is only as valuable as its ability to still cover what you're doing two years from now.6. Never ignore legal letters — and never respond emotionally. The two worst responses to an infringement letter are throwing it in the trash or firing back in anger. A 20-minute call with an experienced IP attorney can tell you whether the plaintiff has a history of filing suit or is just a copyright troll sending shakedown letters. The same attorney can tell you whether your own case is strong enough to be aggressive or whether you should approach gently. Calibrate before you act.Guest Resourcesgourley@caglaw.comwww.caglaw.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesgourley/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Was wäre, wenn Mitarbeitende aus HR, Finance oder anderen Fachbereichen ihre eigenen internen Anwendungen einfach selbst bauen könnten? In dieser Folge von „KI kann alles? Fast!“ spricht Lucas Moskau mit Samuel Bullard, Working Student in AI Development & Innovation bei TIKI, über Human-Centered AI und ein internes Projekt, das genau diese Idee verfolgt. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Konzept Software as a Commodity: Software soll nicht länger ausschließlich von spezialisierten Entwicklungsteams gebaut werden. Stattdessen sollen Menschen mit tiefem Fachwissen ihre eigenen Anwendungen mithilfe von KI entwickeln können. Samuel erklärt, wie ein agentischer App-Builder aus einer einfachen Beschreibung Schritt für Schritt eine Anwendung entwickeln kann: mit Rückfragen, Planung, Live-Preview, Datenbank und Anbindungen an bestehende Systeme. Im Enterprise-Kontext geht es dabei nicht um möglichst schnelle MVPs, sondern um Anwendungen, die sich an Unternehmensstandards halten, vorhandene Daten integrieren und tatsächlich im Arbeitsalltag eingesetzt werden können. Außerdem sprechen Lucas und Samuel darüber, warum interne Nutzer durchaus bereit sind, länger auf ein besseres Ergebnis zu warten, weshalb echtes User-Feedback die Entwicklung teilweise komplett verändert hat und warum Human-Centered AI bedeutet, nicht einfach technisch mögliche Features zu bauen, sondern die tatsächlichen Bedürfnisse der Menschen in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. www.tiki-institut.com

Altium's acquisition of Duro brings cloud-based PLM software built for hardware startups and small engineering teams into the Altium platform, and in this OnTrack Podcast episode Zach Peterson asks Duro founder and CEO Michael Corr why the deal happened. Michael walks through how the Altium Designer plugin publishes library parts and full projects into Duro with part numbers, revision status, and draft change orders, and how that integration deepens inside Altium 365 while Duro stays available as a standalone product.  He also explains the AI agents Duro is starting to roll out, which act as RF, mechanical DFM, procurement, and supply chain specialists that review change orders for teams that can't hire every one of those roles. You'll hear why Duro builds every feature API-first, with documentation written so AI coding agents can build on it, and what customers are building with that access. Watch if you manage hardware product data and want product lifecycle management that doesn't take an IT team to configure.

Jetpack Pals opens with its recorded theme and a live browser demonstration of a multiplayer game set in a version of downtown Los Angeles. Players fly around with jetpacks, meet friends, and play smaller games inside the world.The game has been in development for about three weeks in the recording and is still unfinished. AI coding tools, phone-based prompts, coworkers, and a city map are part of the build process.Coffee ordering leads to a detour through app loyalty points, store habits, and the software behind big food chains. A simple purchase can connect to a surprisingly large technical system.An AI shopping assistant raises questions about what an agent can do in a browser and how personal data shapes its suggestions. Marketplace recommendations and advertising become harder to separate when software shops on someone's behalf.Payment tools for agents move the discussion from suggestions to transactions. A funded card or account could let an agent buy things for its user, raising questions about controls and trust.Turning a Zoom recording into clips and scheduled posts requires more than one good prompt. The workflow conversation covers documentation, repeated mistakes, prompt design, and how each run can preserve what was learned.Meta glasses become a test of both hardware appeal and product presentation. The conversation examines the images, the landing page, and how the device might fit into daily use.Yahoo search leads to a discussion about AI features, publisher links, and whether an older web brand can become more useful again. The segment also touches on other AI software announcements.Downtown Los Angeles appears both as a real city and as a place represented in Jetpack Pals. Hollywood, buildings, and local landmarks shape the conversation around the game map.Software costs and model limits affect how much can be built in a week. The game still needs graphics, phone performance, and more work before it can be treated as finished.The iPhone's top display area inspires ideas for small apps and reminders that stay visible during normal phone use. The concept turns a familiar interface detail into a place for lightweight software.Blender is used for game models and Unity for the game itself in the workflow described in the recording. Remote control from a phone lets desktop tools keep working while the developer is away from the computer.Internet slang and creator videos take the conversation away from software products. The detour moves through online forums, short-form videos, and what makes a creator worth sharing.The spoken sign-off is followed by more conversation about transcripts and production systems. That aftertalk remains in the no-cut episode rather than being trimmed at the first goodbye.A short Jetpack Pals promo bumper closes the recording after the aftertalk. It also jokes about Meta glasses and the metaverse.Chapters00:00 Jetpack Pals theme and game demo03:05 Three weeks of AI-assisted game building10:08 Coffee and app detour14:20 AI shopping assistant18:18 Paying for AI agents21:13 Building the Zoom-to-clips workflow25:24 Meta glasses and landing page28:16 Yahoo search and AI software30:25 Los Angeles and the game map33:57 Software headlines and Jetpack Pals progress38:19 iPhone interface ideas40:09 Blender and Unity workflow43:31 Football and online slang45:48 Spoken sign-off and workflow aftertalk47:26 Jetpack Pals promo bumperLinkshttp://instagram.com/rickerandbonhttp://tiktok.com/@rickerandbonhttps://youtube.com/@rickerandbonhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0n1m0eR2sYZU2EFhSwlqX1https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ricker-and-bon/id1367523204

Caleb Silver says investors his company surveyed still feel confident overall in the stock market, though the percentage saw a significant drop. Higher crude oil prices, interest rates, and Treasury yields all pile onto concerns that an AI bubble continues to grow. Caleb talks about why investors surveyed by Investopedia are moving out of key software names like Palantir (PLTR), Microsoft (MSFT), and ServiceNow (NOW) amid the AI reevaluation. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Chris, Ade and Jeremiah explore the ways new technology can help you make fantastic photos.

Software used to be something you sat down and wrote.Line by line. Decision by decision.The work lived in the hands of the person at the keyboard.That world doesn't really exist anymore. Everything is changing: who does the work, how fast it moves, what counts as “writing,” what still needs a human in the loopInstincts and best practices are built on ideas that are getting invalidated faster than ever. So we have to go back and figure out what we're actually doing here. Welcome to YAGNI, Season 3: The Software Factory.Thank you to this season's sponsor Laravel Cloud.

She walks through how labor burden, efficiency and profitability influence the price a home service company actually needs to charge.Ryan challenges the idea that flat rate pricing or another software platform can replace understanding what is happening operationally inside the business.Crystal brings those lessons into marketing and explains why contractors cannot simply give every win to PPC, cut brand building activity, or assume more leads will fix a weak customer journey.In this episode, you will hear:• Why underpricing can quietly damage growth• Why every truck should have a clear daily target• Why flat rate pricing still requires understanding the numbers• Why brand recognition supports lead capture• Why existing customers should not be forgotten• How to map the customer journey from first contact to payment• Why implementation matters more than simply buying another tool• How leadership affects the performance of every system in the businessAbout Danielle PutnamDanielle Putnam is CEO of The New Flat Rate and works with contractors on pricing and profitability.Learn more:https://thenewflatrate.com/About Ryan BowmanRyan Bowman works with contractors on process, systems engineering, workflows and operational execution through Divergent.Learn more:https://divergentbsg.com/Listen and FollowApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-yellow-chair/id1598195561Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1goGP66YLPIxzpX1TxFGvTYouTube:https://youtu.be/4KQUyjt8JkYMore From the Yellow Chair:https://www.lemonseedmarketing.com/contractor-marketing-podcast/If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.Please consider following and drop a review below if you enjoyed this episode.

Een verlies van 42 miljard dollar per jaar, een pakket aan uitgaven van 518 miljard dollar, 80 bladzijden aan risico's van AI voor de mensheid: het staat allemaal in de prospectus van Anthropic. Over een paar maanden moet het bedrijf de grootste beursgang ooit gaan waarmaken, maar voor nu geven ze vooral heel veel redenen waarom het een enorme flop kan worden. Is er tóch nog een reden te vinden waarom je dit aandeel wél zou willen hebben? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Daarin hebben we het ook over de toekomst van Arcadis. Tenminste, de toekomst zoals het ingenieursbureau die zelf voor zich ziet. Een met een grote ontslagronde, met de verkoop van hele afdelingen, en zelfs met overnames. En nu willen ze dan echt zelf op overnamepad. Topvrouw Heather Polinsky moest bewijzen dat ze er goed aan heeft gedaan om niet in zee te gaan met het Canadese WSP Global. Is dat haar gelukt? Je hoort ook nog over een beursgang die last minute wordt afgeblazen. Over de CEO van Pharming die plots opstapt.

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, David Cushman speaks with EY's Dan Diasio and Thiru Vengadam about what it takes to move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale agentic operations. Drawing on EY's recognition as a Horizon 3 Market Leader in the HFS Horizons Agentic Services 2026 report, they discussed why the biggest barriers to AI adoption are no longer technology, but business transformation, governance, operating models, and workforce readiness. The conversation explores how organizations can move beyond proof-of-concept projects by embedding AI into core business operations, building trusted agentic systems with strong governance, and adopting outcome-based partnerships. They also discuss the evolution of Services-as-Software™, where AI-enabled services are creating new business value by combining software, human expertise, and continuous innovation.Key takeawaysAI success is a business transformation challenge, not just a technology one.Scaling AI requires rethinking operating models, processes, data, governance, and talent.Agentic AI must be built on trust. Governance, security, auditability, and human oversight are essential for deploying enterprise-scale AI systems.Partnerships are evolving. Organizations need deeper co-development and outcome-based collaborations rather than traditional vendor relationships.Services-as-Software™ is reshaping enterprise services. AI enables organizations to combine software with human expertise to deliver new, higher-value outcomes.The future belongs to enterprises that embed AI into operations, not just experiments.Sustainable value comes from integrating AI into the way work is designed and delivered.Learn more about the 2026 HFS Horizons: Agentic Services report, which assesses how effectively 36 service providers help enterprise clients adopt agentic AI and realize value across three distinct Horizons, here.#AgenticAI #AgenticServices #EnterpriseAI #ServicesAsSoftware #AIOperatingModel #EY #HFSResearch #AIGovernance #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork

a16z's Ben Horowitz and Martin Casado sit down with TypeSafe AI founder Diogo Almeida to ask a simple question: AI has become remarkably capable, so where is all the automation?Diogo argues that coding agents may help us write software faster, but the software they produce still largely works the way software always has. TypeSafe is taking a different approach with Jev: putting intelligence inside software itself, so developers can build programs that reason about intent and make probabilistic decisions rather than simply generate text for a human to interpret.They discuss why reliability is the key to making AI genuinely programmable, how this could open a new era of probabilistic software, and why established SaaS companies may be particularly well positioned to benefit. Ultimately, Diogo's goal is straightforward: technology that can reliably “do what I mean.”Resources:Follow Diogo Almeida: https://x.com/CompleteSkepticLearn more about TypeSafe AI: https://typesafe.ai/Follow TypeSafe AI: https://x.com/typesafeaiFollow Ben Horowitz on X: https://x.com/bhorowitzFollow Martin Casado on X: https://x.com/martin_casado Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Nvidia mag dan het grootste bedrijf van de wereld zijn: menig belegger vindt Nvidia nog steeds spotgoedkoop. Zeker als je kijkt naar wat je betaalt voor de verwachte winsten de komende jaren. Dat vindt het bedrijf kennelijk zelf ook, want Nvidia gaat nóg meer eigen aandelen inkopen dan het al van plan was. Het gaat om historische bedragen. Wat dat voor het aandeel kan betekenen, bespreken we deze aflevering. Maar er is meer, want na weken van zorgen over de ontwikkeling van AI, claimt Nvidia nu de oplossing: ze komen met software dat naar eigen zeggen kan voorkomen dat AI-agents op eigen houtje malafide praktijken uitvoeren. Software die, zo meent het bedrijf, een incident als bij Hugging Face had kunnen voorkomen. Hoor je ook over SK Hynix: het aandeel levert in nu duidelijk wordt dat een dochter van het bedrijf naar de beurs wil. Solidigm, een producent van geheugenchips. Het kan een van de grootste chipbeursgangen ooit worden; waarom beleggers in SK Hynix er toch van schrikken, bespreken we ook. Hoor je ook nog over: De ceo van ASML: die beweerde in de Financial Times dat de Nederlandse regering degene is die beslist over exportrestricties richting China. Daar denkt Stan wat anders over.

In dieser Episode spricht Erik Siekmann mit Christian Steiger, dem Geschäftsführer von Lexware, über den Erfolg im hart umkämpften Software-as-a-Service-Markt und die Unterstützung des deutschen Mittelstands. Christian erklärt, warum 97 Prozent aller deutschen Unternehmen Kleinstbetriebe sind, die das Rückgrat der Wirtschaft bilden, und wie Lexware diesen Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmern mit der Initiative „Tell Your Story“ eine eigene Bühne gibt. Er gibt Einblicke in die Transformation von Lexware zur Cloud-Lösung mit über 450.000 Cloud-Kunden und erklärt, weshalb das agile Scrum-Modell hinterfragt werden muss. Statt auf klassische Großteams setzt Lexware auf kleine Zwei-Mensch-Teams, die dank KI und „Vibe Coding“ rasch Software entwickeln. Darüber hinaus sprechen Erik und Christian über den Wandel vom „Model Layer“ zum „Interface Layer“, das Potenzial von KI zur Automatisierung kaufmännischer Prozesse und die Hintergründe des Hauptsponsorings beim SC Freiburg. Der Marketing Transformation Podcast wird produziert von TLDR Studios.

Join me as I discuss AI enablement with David and Melody and share what we learned at the Learn Claude for Dealers builders event in Atlanta. Any dealers who is considering building tools with AI should watch this episode.

Erik Torenberg sits down with Box CEO Aaron Levie, and a16z's Martin Casado, and Steven Sinofsky to debate how the AI industry should think about safety, security, and regulation as increasingly capable agents move into the real world.They argue that much of today's conversation is happening before we have clearly defined the risks we're trying to regulate. Drawing on earlier waves of computing, from computer viruses and the early internet to aviation and automobiles, they ask what AI can learn from industries that developed safety standards only after understanding how their technologies actually failed.The conversation then gets concrete: agents don't get tired, can operate at enormous scale, and can probe systems in ways human employees never could. That could require rethinking permissions, authentication, operating systems, and the security stack itself. They also discuss why AI innovation may increasingly move beyond the frontier labs and into the software built around the models.Resources:Follow Aaron Levie on X: https://x.com/levieFollow Martin Casado on X: https://x.com/martin_casadoFollow Steven Sinofsky on X: https://x.com/stevesi Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Scaling gets sold to you as a spending problem. Bigger space. More staff. A build out. Software you do not need yet.Most of the practices that stall did not stall from lack of investment. They stalled because they bought capacity before they had demand.In this episode Kelly breaks down what scaling actually means when you are a solo provider or a two person practice and how to add revenue without adding fixed cost. She starts with the number almost nobody tracks. What you keep per hour after everything. Once you see that number the next move is usually obvious and usually free.She walks through the levers in order. Raise your price. Fill the gaps in the schedule you already have. Restructure your offer so one patient is worth more without you working more. Only then hire. And when you do hire she is specific about the order. Admin support before a second clinician almost every time because the bottleneck is rarely treatment hours. It is everything around them.Kelly is honest about the emotional side too. Hiring feels like proof you made it. It is also the fastest way to turn a profitable practice into a stressful one if the demand is not there first. She gives you the demand test to run before you post the job.Then the money mechanics. What to pay yourself. What to hold in reserve. When a lease makes sense and when it is just ego with a monthly payment attached.By the end you will know which lever to pull next and what it costs you. In most cases the answer is nothing.KEY TAKEAWAYSKnow your net per treatment hour. Every scaling decision runs through that number. Raising your price is the only growth lever with no cost attached. Use it first. Fill your existing schedule before you buy more capacity. Empty slots are the cheapest growth you own. Restructure the offer so one patient is worth more. Packages and programs beat single visits for both revenue and outcomes. Hire admin before you hire clinical. Your bottleneck is usually intake and follow up and not treatment hours. Run the demand test first. If you have turned away patients three months running you are ready. If not you are early. Hold reserves before you sign a lease. Fixed cost is the thing that removes your options.PULL QUOTESYou do not have a growth problem. You have twelve empty slots and a price you have not touched in three years. Hiring is not proof you made it. Demand is proof you made it. Hiring is just what you do about it. A lease does not create patients. It creates a payment. The cheapest way to double your practice is to stop underselling the one you already have.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) got stranded overnight after a backhoe severed a single fiber optic cable, knocking out air traffic control across much of the eastern US. His airline declined to pay for the hotel. In this episode, he walks through who actually owes you what when air travel breaks: federal refund rules, the airlines' "controllable delay" commitments, credit card trip delay coverage, and the goodwill credit a well-placed phone call can unlock. Along the way, he explains why checkout-page travel insurance pays back only about 40 cents on the dollar and why 5,000 apology miles are worth about $60.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/stranded-who-pays-when-air-travel-breaks/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

One ultrasound tech, four scanning rooms. NVIDIA's David Niewolny on what "augmented autonomy" asks of clinicians. NVIDIA is best known for GPUs, but its healthcare strategy is a full stack: compute to train models, compute to run them at the point of care, and simulation to generate the data that medical robotics lacks. In this interview, David Niewolny explains how that stack underpins autonomous X-ray and ultrasound with GE HealthCare, surgical robotics simulation with Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and the Open-H surgical robotics dataset. He argues that open models are a regulatory necessity in healthcare, that software-defined medical devices will shrink innovation cycles from years to months, and that the path to autonomy in surgery will follow the one taken by autonomous vehicles, one level at a time. We also press on the parts that remain unsettled: whether AI efficiency turns into clinician burnout, whether synthetic data reflects real patient populations, and what could still stall adoption.

Most nonprofits treat auction software as a checkout tool. Mo treats it as a donor intelligence system. She covers why mobile bidding isn't too hard for older donors, the auto-close setting almost nobody turns on, the text message that can sell out a raffle in two minutes, and the platform fees quietly costing you donors. Then the real goldmine: the losing bidders and fund-a-need gifts sitting in your data after the event, and how to turn them into next year's major donors.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:15 Is mobile bidding too hard for older donors?02:59 The concierge desk (and the sponsorship hiding in it)04:39 The truth about paper backup05:33 Paper recorders: your fund-a-need audit trail06:42 The auction setting almost nobody turns on07:26 Using text messages to create urgency09:09 You don't need the priciest software11:01 Platform fees are costing you donors11:53 The item detail every org overlooks13:18 The most common Saturday-night panic call14:30 Reselling popular trips after bidding ends16:08 The hidden donors in your losing bids17:37 Why Mo does this and how to get her help19:49 HGA uploads your auction items at no cost

If AI is better than your developers, why are your best engineers still writing code?Software engineering is the only engineering discipline where we make the engineer also turn the wrenches. Nicky Pike, Field CTO at Coder, argues that AI is finally letting your best engineers become architects while agents do the mechanic work — and lays out exactly what has to change about how you hire, govern, and provision your teams to make it real.Nicky has 20+ years in developer infrastructure — Xbox Live, private cloud at CVS Health, Cloud Foundry at VMware/Pivotal, and now the 'first mile' problem at Coder. He's a self-described 'platform guy, not a developer' who's watched this pattern play out through four platform shifts and sees the same arc happening faster. What you'll learn• Why the developer laptop is the worst possible endpoint for running AI agents• The identity split that fixes 'AI slop' overnight — human vs. agent permissions• Why Uber blew through their entire AI budget in four months (and how to avoid it)• How the software bottleneck moved from the inner loop to the outer loop — and why GitHub can't keep up• What to actually tell junior devs asking 'am I cooked?'

Feedback/Questions [Phil - Listener Feedback] Hi, Thanks for a great podcast - last year I was wondering what bsd I'd try, moving away from Linux, I'd heard Benedict and other hosts talking about most of the day to day software I use, so I wasn't worried about any of that working, but what bsd to go for (I get very little free time these days so getting it right was important - Benedict (i think) mentioned He was using FreeBSD - choice was made! And it has been great - 3 or 4 logins later and I'm reading a motd message by Benedict himself! I need to learn a few things, but these arethe things I expected would need a bit of reading - the handbook has mostly got me there, plus google etc. I am happy with FreeBSD and with Linus recently going off on one about Welcoming AI, after allowing an unfinished file system (bcashfs) into production, to name just 2 reasons for a change, I was thinking.. I don't know what the FreeBSD developers are doing with AI, but it'll be considered and responsible - OMG I had to re-play the last podcast a few times - They don't know yet???? Now I'm stuck! I use FreeBSD for desktop & nas, I love pkg and poudriere. do any of the BSDs have (at least) a no vibecode/slop policy and offer similar pkg/build systems?

https://youtu.be/lrnG7ydEErk Saul Marquez, Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, helps medtech and healthtech companies get closer to revenue through healthcare-focused marketing strategy and execution. Driven by a desire to be a source of love and inspiration, Saul supports healthcare innovators whose work helps people live healthier, longer lives. He believes companies improving healthcare deserve to succeed and should not have to navigate growth alone. In this conversation, Saul shares his Leverage the 3 Forms of Marketing Framework—Owned (podcast, books, content), Earned (Stages, Testimonials), and Paid (Drive Traffic to What Converts). He explains why companies need a clear strategy and strong owned assets before pursuing earned exposure, and why paid marketing should amplify a funnel that already converts. Saul also discusses growing through primary research, thought leadership, podcasting, and conferences rather than relying on cold outreach. He shares why marketing metrics must connect to pipeline and revenue, and how sales blockers, opportunities, and needs can guide the creation of campaigns and sales enablement assets. —   Get Closer to Revenue with Saul Marquez Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with The Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Saul Marquez, the Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, a healthcare-exclusive marketing strategy and full-service marketing execution firm that helps medtech and healthtech companies accelerate their growth. Saul, welcome to the show.  Steve, such a pleasure to be here with you and your listeners. Thank you for the opportunity.  Well, I really have to get my A-game today because I rarely find a podcaster who’s recorded more episodes than I have. You beat that by a multiple of five or six. So definitely, I have to be on my best performance. But my first question is always the same, at least recently. What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business?  My personal Why. I did some thinking. This was probably about 20 years ago. I did this program. I’ve always been very reflective, and I’m a big journaler. I love to write my thoughts. And I had the chance to, about 20 years ago, do a program called Date With Destiny. It’s a Tony Robbins program. It was a game changer for me. Five days with people that want to just crush it in life—personal, professional, financial, right? Like, they just want to do the best.  And so I had these five days to myself to really look inside, journal, question. And during that session, he has what he calls your primary question. You sort of look inside and you ask and you think about, like, what are those words, the stories that you tell yourself? And the primary question is that question that drives your life. And I was able to uncover that my primary question is, “I want to be a source of love and inspiration to myself and others.” And so I’m driven by love. I’m driven by inspiration. And so that’s my primary question and my primary Why. And then, when you think about it professionally, Steve, I’m very driven by mission.  So because of that, I started my career in medical devices around the same time that I actually did the seminar. And I’m driven by being able to help people live better lives and increase health span, not just lifespan. And that’s why the work that we do focuses around leaders innovating in the healthcare space. So very driven by those things.  But these are very noble ideas. And I mean, who wouldn’t want to live better, live longer? That’s an obvious need from everyone, really. And it’s a great thing if you can create an impact in that realm, that then you are creating something very valuable.  You are, Steve. And the data point here that I’ll share to pair the purposefulness, the data point, because we’re very data-driven as a business, and I’m a data geek, is that healthcare is essentially 18% of U.S. GDP, which represents $4.8 trillion annually. It’s larger than the German economy, and that’s just the U.S. alone. So whenever anybody says, “Oh, your niche is healthcare,” I say, “Well, I mean, my economy that I’m focused on is healthcare.” It’s huge.  Of course. Yeah.  Yeah.  Yeah. And probably, I mean, we can get into whether that’s not an overinflated number. Is it really that proportionate value? But if you think about it, the biggest resource is humans, then spending 18% of GDP on the biggest resource is not much.  It definitely isn’t. And then if you sort of zoom out and you take a look at globally, GDP focused on healthcare, it’s definitely higher than most first-world countries. And the outcomes aren’t commensurate to the investment. So the opportunity to improve access, affordability, better outcomes is a huge opportunity. And I'm in awe, and I have major respect for all the entrepreneurs and business leaders in this space that are looking to improve those metrics for us in healthcare, and that's why we love to stand behind them.Share on X  The stats are real. 50% of businesses fail within five years, and something above 80% fail within 10 years. And we believe at Outcomes Rocket that if you’re in the business of helping people live healthier, longer lives, you deserve to succeed, and we want to be behind you. And so that’s why we do what we do. The people doing the work, it’s hard, and they can’t do it alone.  Yeah. Love it. Just as an aside, whatever happened to this initiative of Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos that they announced some years ago that they would reform the—  Yeah.  Healthcare?  Haven?  Yeah. I don’t know what it was called.  Yeah, Haven. So yeah, it was Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and JPMorgan. And it didn’t work. And it shows you that, like, even when the best of the best try to go do something about it, it doesn’t work. It’s hard. It’s hard work. Yeah. It’s hard work.  I bet it’s very hard. So hopefully AI will fix it. Let’s hope. What do you think about that?  That’s a great one, man. Like, AI definitely is not fixing it. However, properly deployed AI in solutions such as ambient scribing that helps physicians spend time with patients and no longer have to do what they call pajama time. Pajama time is the time that they spend at home after hours logging things into the medical record. Like, if you’re able to give a physician time back from not having to do that, and actually time back to look at you in the eyes when you’re in the waiting room, that’s awesome use of AI.  The use of AI in the elimination of waste is also beautiful. So I think as a tool, for sure, there’s huge promise in the use of AI for healthcare. Hell, in robotics, man. Like, I was just at a conference, Steve. I was in Miami. Where do you live, by the way?  I'm in Virginia.  Oh, you’re in Virginia? Cool. I’m in San Diego, where I’m literally at the SRS, so that’s the Society of Robotic Surgery. And I’m in the room, and there was a surgeon in Virginia, actually, and a surgeon in California, and the robots were operating on. It wasn’t a person. It was actually just like a simulation, but it was like a cadaver type of thing. And with AI, spatial AI, and the use of technology, these surgeons are operating in two different states on one person.  Remotely?  Yeah, remotely, and it’s working great through robotics. So all of this stuff, man, is coming together. Yesterday, I had a conversation with an entrepreneur in the materials and 3D printing space. She’s been in it for years, and just chatting with her was inspiring because what they could do now as far as custom-built plates for craniomaxillofacial or foot and ankle, they could literally print this stuff overnight on sheets, whereas it used to take months.  Like, we’re moving fast, and the innovations that are available. She called it patient matching, like the N of one. I mean, what’s possible today for a fraction of the cost than it used to be back then is just inspiring. And it’s happening right before us. So it’s a really great, great time to be alive.  And to stay alive.  And to stay alive. Exactly. Well said, my friend. Well said. Hey, you have to tell me about Summit OS and Fable, man. Like, I love what you have back there.  Well, I’ll tell you all about Summit OS on your podcast, but on this podcast, we talk about you. That’s fair. That’s fair.  I like that. I like that.  So let’s talk about frameworks because this podcast is a podcast of frameworks.  I love frameworks.  And I saw that you have the Discover, Define, Deliver, or something like that. But I’m looking for something more unique. Yeah. So something that maybe that’s more insightful or more unique or more you that you could share with the audience, which still can be explained in four to five steps or elements maximum to which give people an insight as to how to do things better.  Absolutely. So I think you and I are brothers from another mother, Steve, because I just love frameworks as well. So the 3D approach is easy, as you mentioned, right? But it is our approach and how we reproducibly bring about a program from start to finish for a client: Discover, Define, Deliver.  Underneath that, that is the hood to another framework, which when you start to deliver, the framework is essentially a four-part framework that starts with strategy, then it’s owned, earned, and paid, okay? And so those are the types of marketing that you could do. And you mentioned at the beginning we’re a marketing strategy and full-service execution agency, which essentially means we’re a revenue partner, we’re a commercialization partner.  So when you go to market with your value and your value proposition, it all starts with strategy. Strategy is so key. And one of the key quotes that we always share, Steve, is that, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” And I have to say, Steve, and everybody with us, in marketing, there are so many tactics. Too many. And guess what?  Today, with AI, there are so many tactics. I was just on a podcast a couple days ago where I made this connection. I hadn’t made the connection yet, but you have to have an AI strategy. If you don’t have an AI strategy, you become part of somebody else’s plan, and even worse, you become so fragmented, and it’s reflecting in your P&L. Like, you not having an AI strategy is showing up in your P&L in a big way. But anyway, back to the marketing thing and the framework. So start with the strategy.  Inside of your strategy are some very basic things, such as your personas, your ideal client personas, which is like firmographic, kind of number of employees, revenue, et cetera.Share on X Your core messaging. Your brand house essentially is your vision, your differentiation, and then your performance promise. It’s essentially like three pillars. That’s your strategy and your positioning, right? Then when you go to owned, earned, paid—and by the way, they’re in this order for a reason. It’s like algorithmic.  I liken it to the Rubik’s Cube. I was watching a YouTube video with my nine-year-old, and he was like, “Hey, Dad, figure out how to solve this.” I brought him a Rubik’s Cube from a conference. I watched this four-part video. The guy’s name is Cubastic. Have you ever watched it, Steve?  No.  No? Okay. Cubastic, literally, he’s a genius. Like, in four 10-minute videos, walks you through how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. And I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than two minutes and 30 seconds reproducibly now. It’s actually one of my conference tricks now, like whenever I go to a booth. And so I’m sitting there thinking, like, yes, no matter what, wherever the pieces are on the cube, if you use this algorithm, it's a four-part framework it gets you to the same end.Share on X  So I’m thinking, that’s exactly what we do. So the strategy, then owned, earned, paid, in that order. So owned is everything that’s on your website, what you put out on social. If you have a podcast like yours, Steve, this is owned. You own this. It’s the narrative that you own. Newsletters. Then you have earned. Why does this order matter? Well, if you try to do earned media, like if you hire a PR agency to do earned media, get you media attention, and you don’t have your strategy or your story straight, you’re going to confuse the market even more.  So that’s why earned is after owned. And with earned, it’s everything that you get. There’s a gentleman that put it really great. I have to get his name, but I got this from him. OPS, he calls it Other People’s Stages. And there’s digital and there’s physical stages. I’m on your digital stage. You’ve built this thing, and you’ve invited me, and I’m grateful for it. And by the way, I’m going to have you on mine. I want to learn about Summit OS, and I want to learn about your frameworks, and I want our audience to also learn about those.  So there’s an asset here, and we’re doing an exchange, which is beautiful, and we’re spreading ideas that make a difference. So in earned, you’re getting opportunities like on OPS, and those could also be written. So you get a byline article on a publication, right? Or you get invited to speak at a conference. That’s earned. And then there’s paid. And people ask me the question, like, “Hey, I’ve got these paid campaigns going on.” And I’m like, “Dude, you have nothing on your website that supports a narrative. Nobody is talking about you. Why would you even pay for anything?” I don’t care what it is.  Unless you got all those other things right, paid is there, like paid conferences, to get more people that’ll read the brochures that are owned, that’ll see the testimonials that are earned, that’ll convert to opportunities to check out your demo or sit with you to consider what you’re doing as a business to solve problems. And so the paid is essentially a way to increase traffic to an existing funnel that converts.  So essentially, this framework of strategy, owned, earned, paid is the framework of marketing that, if done right algorithmically, you will get results.Share on X And the result is the acceleration of someone, a business or a person, that goes from the awareness to consideration to decision funnel, which is essentially the business funnel for anyone, right? You accelerate the speed at which somebody learns about you and the problems you solve, considers you as a solution, and then makes a decision to work with you. So you’re not really selling a quick fix here, are you?  It’s not a quick fix. There are no quick fixes. You have to commit to the process and get it done.  Yeah, I like it. I mean, that makes complete sense. You have to have some assets that you start with that you own. I like the podcast. Okay, books can be like that. Yeah. Website, of course. Your frameworks are your asset, basically. And then you have to earn the right to actually share what you know. I love it. People validate, go through the stages, and get the testimonials, so you have to deliver. You have to prove that those assets are actually working, right?  Yes.  And then when you have a funnel, you already have a product that has proven itself, then it’s all about increasing the throughput. So paid is what? That’s right.  There is an amplifier.  That’s it. That’s it. Yeah. Yep. Yep.  It makes complete sense. It’s a very good framework. I’ve never thought about it this way, but it makes complete sense to me.  And it’s algorithmic. No matter where the pieces in the cube are, if you run it, you’re always going to end up with the same color on each side. It just works.  Yeah. So if you don’t have your assets, you haven’t earned your right, then you are just wasting your money on paid. Yeah.  Yeah. You’re wasting it. You are. Now, there’s a use case for paid to accelerate learnings. If you’re working on copy that you just need feedback on, there’s a use case to get mass targeted, like your ideal client looking at and interacting with it to understand how to better convert. That’s a use case, right? You’re after conversion optimization data. That’s fine, right? That’s fine. You could use paid to fine-tune conclusions as well.  Can you use paid for market research? Oh, yeah, for sure.  What you should be selling?  Yeah. You could definitely use paid for market research, for sure, if you have an end in mind. If your end in mind is to get more target, and then you just have to decide, right? Like, what payment model should you deploy? Should you put an ad out, or should you work with a partner that has access to a pool of qualified survey respondents? Would it be more efficient to just go through them, right? So it’s just a matter of what the end goal is.  That makes sense. So let me ask you a question, Saul. What drives growth in your business?  So a couple things. We do thought leadership, and so the thought leadership that we do is on healthcare marketing.Share on X And by the way, even though we focus on healthcare marketing, there’s fundamentals there that can apply to any business. So if you’re listening to this podcast and thinking, “I’m not healthcare,” there’s still fundamentals in the research that we do and the data that we mine that can help you.  So thought leadership based off primary research. So every quarter, we do two new reports. We conduct surveys focused on marketing strategies and tactics. Some of the latest ones we’ve done—we did one on podcasting, which is very interesting. We released this one about three weeks ago. This one’s gotten crazy media hits. Like, we’ve gotten over 30 media hits on this one.  PPC covered us, because it’s sexy still. Podcasts are sexy. But we had a lot of findings, and I’ll share the link with you. We don’t charge for our research. It’s free. We offer it to people so that they could do better marketing. Now, the thing that was most intriguing about that report for me, out of a lot of things, was that people are measuring the wrong thing as it relates to podcast marketing. You’ll see the results, but I remember these numbers. 57% are measuring engagement and downloads.  And that’s the wrong thing to measure. I’m going to segue to that later. The right thing to measure if you're a business is pipeline and revenue, not engagements and downloads.Share on X And the quote that I did on an article that I did recently is, “Downloads are vanity. Contacts and contracts are sanity.” Okay? You have to measure the right things. If you’re not a media company selling ads, who cares about downloads? So anyway, podcasts. We did a GTM report. We did one on public relations.  The other one that got a lot of really good traction earlier this year was one on chatbots. We analyzed over 5,700 citations to figure out what exactly are chatbots looking for. And we took a look at those 5,700 citations. It was a breakdown of Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. And so we said, why and what do these value? It changed the way that we actually post content on our site and our clients’ sites. So that’s a really valuable report that I would literally just take from our site, download into Claude, and say, “Based off of this report from Outcomes Rocket, how should I change up my copy and how I lay out my posts?” Because that’s going to help you get more AI visibility.  We actually have been running those plays on clients, and our numbers on ChatGPT and Claude Search and Gemini Search have gone up for them, right? It’s working. So we do this thought leadership stuff because we don’t like to experiment with our clients’ money. We like to actually do stuff that works and actually figure things out. So that’s thought leadership. And then the podcast is another thing that we do. So I love podcasting, Steve, as we were talking about before we hit record. I get a chance to connect with awesome people. Like, I keep thinking about Summit OS.  I’m going to learn about it on my podcast. I guess I can’t learn it on this one, but I get to meet people like you. We get to connect with listeners, like the ones—like, you’re listening to this because you want to be better. You want to improve your business, and it’s a chance for me to connect with you right now. And I’m going to invite you to reach out to me if something that I said resonates with you, because that’s why we do this. So podcasts are one of our great funnels, Steve. We do podcasting, and we meet a lot of great friends and collaborators and partners and clients through podcasting. And also conferences. So conferences are another amplifier for us. So I would say thought leadership, research, podcasting, and conferences are the best ways for us to grow our business. That's how we do it.Share on X  That’s very insightful. What I’m not hearing here is cold calling, cold emailing, spamming people. You’re not doing any of that. What I’m hearing here is you are giving people great content. You’re teaching people, and you’re connecting with people.  Yes.  Because podcasts, I agree with you, it’s all about connecting with people at a deeper level around interesting topics. Conferences are the same thing. You create relationships, and then you can follow up with the people who you like at the conference and turn them into partners or clients or whatever.  Yeah.  I love it. Love that.  And Steve, you’re a really insightful guy. I’m glad you went to that point. And so I was sitting there literally probably like five months ago, and I was having a conversation with a client of ours, and she was like, “Man, these cold emails that we’re doing,” because they wanted to do them, “I mean, we’re seeing clicks, and we’re seeing opens, but we’re seeing no replies and no meetings booked.” And I said, “Because the way we have to do it is through content.” Yeah. You have to offer.  If you go fishing and your hook has no bait on it, you’re not going to catch any fish, unless a dumb fish runs into your hook. You don’t want that fish anyway, right? That’s what you’re going to catch. And so I said, because I am kind of a data geek, as I shared with you, I said, “I want to own this frustration that you have right now. And here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to hire four lead gen agencies, and I’m going to put one on your account, I’m going to put two on our company, and I’m going to…” I had another client that I was having this conversation with. “I’m going to put another one on their account.” And so I paid for this research project.  I said, “I’m going to learn. I’m either going to learn how to do cold email really damn good because I’ve been not doing well at it.” Guess what? Secret. Nobody’s freaking doing good at it, okay? So, like, three months later, they failed miserably. Nobody was doing anything. So then I said, “Okay, let’s try this. Don’t ask for an appointment. I want you to, on this mass cold email project, I want to change the copy, and I want to put, ‘I want to invite you to my podcast.'” These are the same people that were not replying. Steve, I kid you not, man. Like, within one week, we had 13 people in line that want to talk to them. They’re thrilled. So my takeaway was, cool.  You know what? I’ve been playing too small in sort of these podcast outreaches. I mean, look, at the end of the day, it’s working, but I said, “I’m going to use this mass email failure and turn it into a success by inviting even more people.” So now what we’re doing is actually, with these pools of people that are interested, taking a look at webinars too, so one to few. One to one, one to few, so that we could serve the many.  And so from the ashes of those failures, not only did I feel better about myself, like, dude, nobody is winning at cold email marketing. Nobody. But if you’re thoughtful about it in the way that you do it and what you offer, it’s got to be content-forward. But anyway, I wanted to pick up on your insight there and share our experiment that we ran.  I think also that you and I have been doing podcasting a long time. It’s actually now a huge thing. When I started it, for the first five years, I had no idea what I was doing, why I was doing it. I enjoyed it.  Yeah.  But it wasn’t really a thing. And then now I realize that a lot of people are now starting to do podcasting, but when you have a brand-new podcast, people are going to be much more circumspect to engage with you because they assume it may just be a lead gen engine. But when you have an established podcast with a lot of episodes, then you are a legit media, and then they will engage.  So anyway, that’s an aside. So let me ask you this, Saul, because you’re really a systems thinker, and I like that. What is one thing that you are trying to actively figure out in your business right now?  Right now, the thing that I’m actively working to figure out is really scalability and processes around delivery. So we have a very talented team. We’re small but mighty. There’s 25 people on my team, right? What we do is very bespoke, and our clients really do love how we execute and get results for them. What I’m working on is to master our delivery model so that we are more in line with our clients’ business growth. A few of the things that we’re doing to that end is getting closer to revenue.  What I mean by that is, I don’t know about you, Steve, but my career was mostly in sales in medtech before starting the agency three years ago full-time. And I realized that whenever there was a crunch in a business, some of the first positions to go were marketing. But nobody ever got rid of salespeople. So I started having this conversation with my team about we have to get closer to revenue, right? Get closer to the revenue conversations, have clarity around the revenue conversations. Because if you're close to revenue and you're helping drive revenue, you become more indispensable.Share on X  We might get T-shirts. I was kidding around that our theme is indispensable, and we might get T-shirts that say “Indispensable.” But that’s what we’re working on right now, is solidifying and optimizing our delivery so that we are more indispensable and we can continue growing at the pace that we’ve been growing to the next goals in our year and then our five-year and our 10-year plan.  So essentially, are you saying that getting closer to revenue means getting more directly impacting revenue, more directly making sure that the client is increasing revenue? Because marketing, you can increase marketing, but if it doesn’t have an impact, then it’s going to go away. So is this what you mean?  Exactly.  Yeah.  Because again, back to the whole thing, the quote, right? Like, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” In marketing, it’s so easy to report on metrics. But if your metrics are not tied to revenue, good luck.  Yeah. And there are some people who are doing great marketing, but they are doing very poorly in converting their leads, and therefore they’re wasting the marketing, and they might fire the marketing agency because you don’t have any clients. But they actually are downstream screwing things up. And if you can help them there, then your marketing is going to be much more resilient.  Yeah. And we’re getting awesome feedback from our clients. They love this. They’re telling us what they need. Right now, where we’re at, it’s three. So we do our weekly reporting, right, to our clients on kind of like what we’re doing on campaigns and research projects and execution. And so in our weekly report-out, we are finalizing sort of these three slides that are essentially sales. Like, the first slide is essentially the top five opportunities for the month and where they’re at. Sales blockers, sales opportunities, and then big needs, like sales needs.  So when the sales call happens, we get a transcript from that call, and the marketer asks the questions about, “Hey, what’s holding you back? What could help you move these deals faster?” We get that transcript, and then we create sales enablement assets or landing pages or campaigns that help move those deals forward. And that’s been awesome. Like, being able to do that, that’s being close to revenue, and it’s something that we’re adapting and being responsive to client needs, and that’s sort of where it’s taken us recently.  Yeah, I love it. Blockers, opportunities, and needs. So how are needs different from resolving the blockers and capitalizing the opportunity? A lot of times there’s overlap there on both of those. Yeah. The overlap is that a blocker could pair with a need that we could solve. But sometimes a blocker could be out of our control. Like, hey, we were going to sell them our microscope, but the MRI machine broke, and now they need to spend money on the MRI machine. Sh*t. There’s nothing we could do. Like, we’re pushing this deal to next quarter. Now, you could try to do stuff, creative financing or stuff like that, and we could have those conversations, but there’s some things that are out of our control.  I wonder if it’s needs or wants. Because I was thinking that maybe the needs are what the client already articulated as something that they realize that they need in order to grow revenue, whereas the blockers and opportunities will give you ideas how you can grow it in ways that they have not thought about.  Yeah.  And therefore, maybe instead of needs, it is the wants, and the needs are the ones that you add based on the blockers and opportunities. I don’t know.  I like that. I like it. No, no, I like it. I like it. And is the idea that, like, wants is a little more creative and open?  No, wants is something that they already articulated themselves that they want to do because they realize that they need that. But they need to do other stuff that they haven’t realized, and that’s what you come up with based on the blockers and the opportunities.  Correct. Correct.  It’s the unidentified wants basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I like that. I’m going to give some thought to that, Steve.  Yeah.  I like the idea.  Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity to give you a framework, or a framework. I love it, man. I love it. I had to pull it out of you. I had to pull it out of you. Actually, I didn’t. I couldn’t do it. You gave it to me, right? No, no. When the student is ready, the teacher comes, right?  There you go. Well, in that case, the teacher was inspired by the student, but—  I love it.  Whatever.  I love it.  So you said it’s medtech and healthtech companies and payers also that you target? Medtech and healthtech. And the payers, we actually—our clients sell to payers. So we do have a payer podcast where we interview payers and vendors in the payer market. But yeah, our main clients are health technology. So think Software as a Service, AI companies in healthcare, and then medical technologies like medical devices, implantables, wearables, that kind of thing, FDA-approved devices and technologies. Software as a medical device, that’s the medtech space.  Yeah. Love it. So these are the ideal ones. So if these people are listening to this podcast or they are seeing you on social media, you’re promoting this podcast together, where should they go? What do you want them to check out? How can they connect with you?  Yeah. Thank you, Steve. If you’re in the healthcare space and you want to raise your marketing game, increase your revenue, increase awareness of what your company’s doing, we’d love to be a part of it, whether it be you consuming our content. We don’t expect anything from you. Our content is all on outcomesrocket.com. Or you could find me on LinkedIn.

Industrial Talk/BCC is talking to Darren James, Head of Internal IT at Specops Software about "Zero Trust, Identity First Architecture". Overview The conversation explained how Specops helps organizations verify identity and secure cloud access against AI-enabled attacks. Identity Security Darrendescribed service-desk identity verification using government-issued identification, selfie checks, and biometric liveness detection rather than knowledge-based questions or voice recognition.Verification can be enforced before sensitive actions such as password resets; unsuccessful verification prevents the service-desk agent from proceeding. Cloud Protection Strong passwords and MFA do not fully prevent attacks involving social engineering, man-in-the-middle phishing, information stealers, or stolen session cookies.Specops, part ofOutpost24, emphasizes device trust and identity-first, zero-trust access while minimizing user friction through self-service remediation and grace periods.Open question: How can organizations close security gaps between cloud point solutions while preserving productivity? Outline Company And Expertise Darrendiscussed his 15 years in cybersecurity and prior IT experience.Specopsspecializes in identity verification and access protection withinOutpost24. AI-Enabled Threats Attackers can use publicly available information, voice samples, deepfakes, and social engineering to impersonate employees.AI-generated phishing can capture credentials, MFA responses, and session cookies through proxy attacks.Information stealers can extract passwords, usernames, and session cookies from compromised devices. Security Approach Government-issued ID validation is combined with selfie matching and liveness checks.Device trust limits access to approved devices, shifting the security perimeter from the network to the endpoint.Self-service fixes and grace periods are intended to reduce operational friction.
