In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, roboticist, investor, and founder Chris Coomes shares how and why he built X1 Pipeline, an AI platform that evaluates startups the way he would — only much, much faster. It's something he wishes he had when looking for early stage robotics startups while at Google and Amazon. We also talk about the strange humanoid robots wandering the convention hall at Web Summit, why "agents" is a vastly overused word and why (his take) most of the agent startups he saw at the conference won't be around next year. Plus, why plugging things in is hard — and why (my take) that's a good thing, because it means we humans will still have jobs (as plumbers and electricians) in the future. Enjoy this fun episode, recorded live from the "Croissant Studio" on the floor at Web Summit in Lisbon. ---  Featured voices:Chris Coomes — Founder of X1 PipelineMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

This week's podcast covers everything from the heights of the sky to the depths of the ocean. My guest is Paul Barnard from MathWorks, where we dive into one of my favorite subjects: Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Paul and I discuss the major software development hurdles for AAM vehicles, the advantages that a modular software approach offers these designs, and how engineers are working to synchronize simulation models with actual flight data. This week, I also look into SEACLEAR, an EU project that utilizes a team of autonomous robots to collect waste from the ocean floor.

Mit einem geheimen "Friedensplan in 28 Punkten" sucht die US-Regierung von Präsident Donald Trump offenbar den seit fast vier Jahren andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine zu beenden. In der aktuellen Ausgabe sprechen Anna Engelke und Stefan Niemann über diesen an amerikanische Medien durchgestochenen "Friedensplan", der seinen Namen kaum verdient, weitgehend die Handschrift des Kremls trägt und Europa sowie die Ukraine kalt erwischt. Während Washington und Moskau das Papier noch herunterspielen, wächst in Europa die Sorge: Wurde über die Köpfe Kiews und Brüssels hinweg verhandelt - und werden am Ende Russlands Maximalforderungen bedient, der von Putin befohlene Angriffskrieg belohnt? Die Ukraine Korrespondentin Rebecca Barth analysiert im Gespräch, was bislang zum 28-Punkte-Plan bekannt ist. Sie bezeichnet das Schriftstück als "wirres Papier", das an der Dynamik des Krieges zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt nichts ändere. Stefan beleuchtet Russlands anhaltenden Terror aus der Luft, der die ukrainische Bevölkerung schwer belastet. Allein bei einem Raketenangriff auf die westukrainische Stadt Ternopil wurden 28 Menschen getötet, darunter drei Kinder. Außerdem spricht Anna Engelke in dieser Ausgabe mit dem Investigativ-Reporter und Buchautor Christian Schweppe über den neuen Digitalfunk der Bundesweher. Der Journalist beobachtet die deutsche Sicherheitspolitik bereits seit Jahren, war mit der Bundeswehr selbst in Afghanistan, Mali und Niger. Die aktuelle Technik sei laut Schweppe aus dem Jahr 1982 - mit der Erneuerung werde sie auf eine ganz neue Stufe gesetzt. Die Bundeswehr will mit dem Projekt "Digitalisierung landbasierter Operationen" alle Soldatinnen, Soldaten und Fahrzeuge in Echtzeit vernetzen. Es geht um eine "vernetzte Operationsführung, da werden Daten in Echtzeit getauscht, da geht es um einen richtigen Informations- und Kommunikationsverbund”, so Schweppe. Doch die Software hakt, Zeitplan und Kosten laufen aus dem Ruder. Wer trägt die Verantwortung - Industrie, Beschaffungsamt oder Minister Pistorius selbst? Auch über die Rolle von Pistorius spricht Schweppe in dieser Ausgabe.

Torsten Bendlin ist Gründer und Geschäftsführer der Valuedesk GmbH, einer SaaS-Plattform für Performance- und Maßnahmenmanagement im industriellen Mittelstand. Nach über 20 Jahren Erfahrung als Einkaufsleiter in der Industrie erkannte er die Schwächen klassischer Beratungsansätze und Excel-Listen: Gute Ideen versanden, sobald externe Berater gehen. Mit 46 Jahren wagte Bendlin den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit – als alleinerziehender Vater und mit dem Ziel, Unternehmen befähigen, ihre Potenziale selbst zu heben. Valuedesk wurde 2017 in Bielefeld gegründet und kombiniert Software, Methode und Organisationsentwicklung, um Transparenz, Umsetzungskraft und messbare Ergebnisse zu schaffen. Bendlin gilt als Verfechter von Wirksamkeit statt Symbolpolitik und setzt auf Partizipation statt Top-down. Seine Vision: Unternehmen sollen nicht nur effizienter, sondern auch nachhaltiger und zukunftsfähiger werden.

In this episode of HALO Talks, industry veteran CJ Bouchard opens up to host Pete Moore about the realities of entrepreneurship in the fitness industry, sharing candid stories of risk, resilience, and what it really means to build from the ground up. From betting his savings on a fledgling franchise in North Carolina and initially making daily two-hour commutes, to pivoting and learning tough lessons about club size, site selection, and market expansion, CJ reveals how grit, adaptability, and a clear mission have fueled Excel Fitness's phenomenal growth. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) is one of the largest and fastest-growing operators of fitness centers in the U.S, and Excel Fitness Holdings is one of their largest franchisees currently operating 150+ clubs in Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Georgia, and Virginia. Their mission is to build a team culture and atmosphere constructed on trust, humility, and strong relationships, always leading by example and putting others first with the utmost integrity, dedication, and accountability. Pete and CJ also dive into how partnering with private equity has transformed the business, what it takes to be a successful operator in today's market, what to expect when working with a PE firm, and the importance of building a strong team and community-driven approach. CJ also shares the meaning behind his "Hope is not a strategy" tattoo, and why execution—not wishful thinking—remains his guiding principle. Whether you're a club owner, aspiring HALO sector entrepreneur, or curious about how major fitness brands expand, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real-world advice, and plenty of inspiration from one of the industry's top leaders. Key themes discussed Entrepreneurial journey and early struggles in fitness industry. Evolution and disruption of the Planet Fitness business model. Challenges involved in club building and expansion. The critical importance of location for a gym's success. Strategic growth: Acquisitions, private equity, and territory development. Leadership style: Clarity, vision, and execution over hope. A Few Takeaways: 1.Entrepreneurial Grit & Humble Beginnings: Bouchard started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer without a college degree, working in Connecticut's gym scene and grinding through tough times. He didn't take a paycheck for two years and put payroll on credit cards when launching his first Planet Fitness in North Carolina. Real entrepreneurship often means sacrifice, resilience, and relentless commitment. 2. Evolution from "Hardcore" Gyms to Disrupting the Market: CJ's transition from traditional gyms (Gold's, World Gym, etc.) to Planet Fitness highlights a change in business philosophy. It went from focusing on "results" to focusing on "access." He recognized Planet's disruptive model early on, betting on a concept that many were skeptical about and ultimately building one of the largest Planet Fitness area development companies in the country. 3. Importance of Site Selection and Operational Knowledge: Both Bouchard and Moore emphasized how crucial it is to understand the nuances of real estate, site selection, and the operational details of running clubs. The value of personally touring sites and knowing the history and layout of each location is essential. Software and reports can't replace firsthand experience. 4. Strategic Growth: Mergers, Acquisitions & Private Equity: Under CJ, Excel Fitness strategically expanded through acquiring clubs, merging with other operators, and partnering with private equity (Olympus Partners.) CJ shared how growth now includes both new club development and acquisitions of existing gyms (like Texas Family Fitness), always with an eye on preserving legacy and community as much as possible. 5. Culture, Team, and Values: CJ's leadership philosophy stresses execution, daily engagement in operations, and a moral compass focused on building communities through fitness. His tattoo "Hope Is Not a Strategy" clearly shows his belief in preparation and action, not relying on luck. He also spoke passionately about valuing long-term employees and creating opportunities for others in the organization.

Europa droht zum digitalen Vasallen zweier Supermächte zu werden: China und den USA. Frankreichs Präsident Macron und Bundeskanzler Merz wollen das verhindern. Doch es könnte bereits zu spät sein. Schon mal versucht, einen Rechner, ein Smartphone oder eine weltweit genutzte Software aus rein europäischer Produktion zu kaufen? Das ist verdammt schwer, manche würden sogar sagen: unmöglich. Auf diese Abhängigkeit haben diese Woche Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron und Friedrich Merz beim »Europäischen Gipfel zur digitalen Souveränität« in Berlin hingewiesen. Der Bundeskanzler machte klar, dass man sich heute nicht mehr darauf verlassen könne, »dass Amerika uns verteidigt, dass China uns die Rohstoffe liefert und Russland irgendwann wieder für den Frieden ist.« Merz, eigentlich leidenschaftlicher Transatlantiker, forderte mehr digitale Souveränität – also mehr Unabhängigkeit von den USA. In dieser Ausgabe von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Marcel Rosenbach, Autor beim SPIEGEL mit den Schwerpunkten Digitalwirtschaft, Digitalpolitik und IT-Sicherheit, über die geopolitischen Gefahren, die Europas digitale Abhängigkeit auslöst. Rosenbach ist überzeugt, dass Europa zu sehr gebunden ist an chinesische und US-amerikanische Schlüsseltechnologien wie Chips, Cloudservices und KI. Eines habe der Digitalgipfel aber gezeigt, so Rosenbach: Anders als in der Vergangenheit ist die Dringlichkeit des Problems jetzt angekommen.

After 20+ years at some of the most important Silicon Valley tech companies like Yahoo, LinkedIn, Oracle, Informix and NerdWallet, Bhaskar today leads investment of enterprise infrastructure companies at 8 VC.Bhaskar Ghosh spent 20+ years at some of the most important Silicon Valley tech companies before moving into venture capital as a Partner at 8VC.After completing his PhD in computer science from Yale, he worked across Yahoo, LinkedIn, Oracle, Informix and NerdWallet. He brings this experience to founders building the next generation of enterprise infrastructure companies.In this episode Bhaskar explains how IT services are being reimagined for India, a country that over the last 25 years turned its skilled workforce into a global services engine. We discuss the shift happening inside workflows most people do not think about: mid-office ops, call centers, insurance, travel and HR. These are areas where thousands of people move information every day, and where AI is now good enough to take over entire workflows.Bhaskar talks about the founders already building in this space, including those buying traditional services companies and rebuilding them with AI at the core. He also explains why this new wave will not behave, scale or be valued like SaaS, because this is no longer pure software. It is the reinvention of services.If you are a founder making engineering decisions, someone curious about the less visible layers of software, or interested in people who move technology forward, this conversation with Bhaskar is for you.00:00 –Trailer03:03 – How India will reimagine IT services (TCS, Infosys)04:32 – “why now” of services06:07 – How unstructured data became easier to handle?07:53 – What LLMs can do today with high precision10:35 – Use of GenAI will increase margins in services11:54 – Front & mid offices will become more productive and lean14:30 – Will a pure services business scale anymore?15:55 – Legacy service businesses + AI-first software20:04 – Real challenge to operate and scale such businesses20:33 – 3 reasons on why SaaS companies get higher multiples?22:06 – Network-effect players win big in SaaS24:18 – Replacing software v/s replacing services26:16 – Business without inherent network effects (yet)28:22 – Is AI unlocking TAM larger than Software era?30:57 – How prosperity of a country influences growth of Co's32:50 – India's tech talent is key to India-US corridor39:36 – Deeply disruptive AI Co's will come from India43:04 – How new-age AI services companies of India should grow in US?44:39 – Current BPOs have an unfair advantage47:21 – Will older BPOs understand the importance of AI?49:22 – A Moat in outcome-based pricing can replace old businesses51:50 – Has the US ever been sensitive to cost?55:23 – The new AI-enabled services have a Palantir-risk flavour58:47 – Where to build when model Co's eat forward & backward revenue?01:06:10 – What type of founding teams are needed?01:08:10 – How founders think about GTM is changing-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains why he continues to hold on to an out-of-consensus view of a growth positive 2026, despite near-term risks.Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today I'll discuss our outlook for 2026 that we published earlier this week. It's Wednesday, Nov 19th at 6:30 am in New York. So, let's get after it. 2026 is a continuation of the story we have been telling for the past year. Looking back to a year ago, our U.S. equity outlook was for a challenging first half, followed by a strong second half. At the time of publication, this was an out of consensus stance. Many expected a strong first half, as President Trump took office for his second term. And then a more challenging second half due to the return of inflation. We based our differentiated view on the notion that policy sequencing in the new Trump administration would intentionally be growth negative to start. We likened the strategy to a new CEO choosing to ‘kitchen sink' the results in an effort to clear the decks for a new growth positive strategy. We thought that transition would come around mid-year. The U.S. economy had much less slack when President Trump took office the second time, compared to the first time he came into office. And this was the main reason we thought it was likely to be sequenced differently. Earnings revisions breadth and other cyclical indicators were also in a phase of deceleration at the end of 2024. In contrast, at the beginning of 2017—when we were out of consensus bullish—earnings revisions breadth and many cyclical gauges were starting to reaccelerate after the manufacturing and commodity downturn of 2015/2016. Looking back on this year, this cadence of policy sequencing did broadly play out—it just happened faster and more dramatically than we expected. Our views on the policy front still appear to be out of consensus. Many industry watchers are questioning whether policies enacted this year will ultimately lead to better growth going forward, especially for the average stock. From our perspective, the policy choices being made are growth positive for 2026 and are largely in line with our ‘run it hot' thesis. There's another factor embedded in our more constructive take. April marked the end of a rolling recession that began three years prior. The final stages were a recession in government thanks to DOGE, a rate of change trough in expectations around AI CapEx growth and trade policy, and a recession in consumer services that is still ongoing. In short, we believe a new bull market and rolling recovery began in April which means it's still early days, and not obvious—especially for many lagging parts of the economy and market. That is the opportunity. The missing ingredient for the typical broadening in stock performance that happens in a new business cycle is rate cuts. Normally, the Fed would have cut rates more in this type of weakening labor market. But due to the imbalances and distortions of the COVID cycle, we think the Fed is later than normal in easing policy, and that has held back the full rotation toward early cycle winners. Ironically, the government shutdown has weakened the economy further, but has also delayed Fed action due to the lack of labor data releases. This is a near-term risk to our bullish 12-month forecasts should delays in the data continue, or lagging labor releases do not corroborate the recent weakness in non-govt-related jobs data. In our view, this type of labor market weakness coupled with the administration's desire to ‘run it hot' means that, ultimately, the Fed is likely to deliver more dovish policy than the market currently expects. It's really just a question of timing. But that is a near-term risk for equity markets and why many stocks have been weaker recently. In short, we believe a new bull market began in April with the end of a rolling recession and bear market. Remember the S&P [500] was down 20 percent and the average S&P stock was down more than 30 percent into April. This narrative remains underappreciated, and we think there is significant upside in earnings over the next year as the recovery broadens and operating leverage returns with better volumes and pricing in many parts of the economy. Our forecasts reflect this upside to earnings which is another reason why many stocks are not as expensive as they appear despite our acknowledgement that some areas of the market may appear somewhat frothy. For the S&P 500, our 12-month target is now 7800 which assumes 17 percent earnings growth next year and a very modest contraction in valuation from today's levels. Our favorite sectors include Financials, Industrials, and Healthcare. We are also upgrading Consumer Discretionary to overweight and prefer Goods over Services for the first time since 2021. Another relative trade we like is Software over Semiconductors given the extreme relative underperformance of that pair and positioning at this point. Finally, we like small caps over large for the first time since March 2021, as the early cycle broadening in earnings combined with a more accommodative Fed provides the backdrop we have been patiently waiting for. We hope you enjoy our detailed report published earlier this week and find it helpful as you navigate a changing marketplace on many levels. Thanks for tuning in. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

Imagine your brain's hardware is perfect, but the software is glitching so badly your body stops working.We sit down with Erum, a biochemist who navigates the world with a rare and often misunderstood condition: Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). We Raw Dog into the fascinating science behind the diagnosis. Basically her brain has a "software glitch" but the hardware is pristine. So how, and why is it causing the left side of her body to physically fail during flare-ups? Erum shares her harrowing and resilient story, from a terrifying ER visit where doctors suspected a brain tumor or MS, to the "magic trick" test that finally led to her FND diagnosis. We discuss the profound connection between her condition and a history of severe childhood trauma, including growing up as a child of deaf adults (CODA) and surviving abuse. Plus, we talk about the healing power of boxing and how FND finally forced her to stop people-pleasing.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube!Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.

Neste Kubicast, recebemos o Chico (Francisco Rodrigues) e o França, da Qive, para um papo técnico e divertido sobre como instrumentamos uma aplicação legada em PHP com OpenTelemetry e destravamos visibilidade de ponta a ponta. Contamos como foi a descoberta, o desenho da arquitetura e as primeiras vitórias: da auto‑instrumentação às correções cirúrgicas que derrubaram a latência no p95 e eliminaram instabilidades intermitentes.Falamos de decisões práticas: por que escolher OpenTelemetry em um monólito Zend antigo, como alinhar a coleta com o ecossistema Grafana (Tempo, Loki, dashboards, alertas) e qual o impacto real em consumo de CPU/memória versus os ganhos na operação. Também abrimos o jogo sobre trade‑offs de transporte (gRPC/Protobuf), overhead na request e como padronizamos spans para tornar o tracing “quase APM”, mas com stack aberta.De quebra, exploramos experiência do time (SRE e Eng. de Software) para acelerar adoção, self‑service e developer experience. Se você quer entender auto‑instrumentação em PHP, custos/benefícios, stack de observabilidade com Grafana e boas práticas de tracing distribuído, este episódio é para você.Links Importantes: - Marcelo França - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marceloluizfranca - Francisco Rodrigues - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fcoedno - Artigo inspirador - https://medium.com/engenharia-arquivei/instrumente-sua-aplica%C3%A7%C3%A3o-php-com-opentelemetry-cb3460a64d04 - Conheça a Qive - https://qive.com.br/institucional/ - Opentelemetry PHP - https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/php/ - João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn/O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

So there's this guy, Bora Celik. Software engineer, thirty years in the game. Last year he tells his investors something crazy: SaaS is dead. Not dying. Dead. And here's the thing - he might be right. See, while everyone's playing with ChatGPT, asking it questions, Bora's building these things called AI agents. They don't just answer questions. They do the work. Like, actually reach out to influencers, negotiate deals, send products, follow up. No humans involved. One of his clients, Harney & Sons Tea, they've got agents running their entire influencer program. The agents find people, check their engagement rates, send emails, track who posts. Everything. And the wildest part? The CEOs of these $100 million companies are building their own agents now. Using tools anyone can access. Today, Bora shows us exactly how.SPONSORSSwym - Wishlists, Back in Stock alerts, & moregetswym.com/kurtCleverific - Smart order editing for Shopifycleverific.comZipify - Build high-converting sales funnelszipify.com/KURTLINKSN8N Agent Builder: https://n8n.io/ai-agents/Agentic Brand Newsletter: https://agenticbrand.ai/Agentic: https://a.gentic.co/WORK WITH KURTApply for Shopify Helpethercycle.com/applySee Our Resultsethercycle.com/workFree Newsletterkurtelster.comThe Unofficial Shopify Podcast is hosted by Kurt Elster and explores the stories behind successful Shopify stores.
