On this week's episode of This Magic Life, a Stanford University clinical professor of neurosurgery, entrepreneur, and NYT bestselling author shares his journey from 12-year-old amateur magician (the sleight of hand kind!) to discovering real magic when he serendipitously stumbled across a magic shop in his neighborhood and met Ruth, the owner's mother. That chance encounter led him to escape poverty and manifest his wildest dreams, in which he not only became an immensely wealthy neurosurgeon, but also a leading expert in the type of magic known as manifesting.  Founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research, Dr. James Doty, joins Andrea this week for an incredible conversation about our brain's ability to actually change events and experiences around us… And a heartwarming deep dive into Dr. Doty's own story of rags to riches: having gone from a profoundly dysfunctional childhood to becoming a successful neurosurgeon who had achieved a mind-boggling level of wealth – including a mansion in Newport Beach, CA, a villa in Florence, Italy, every luxury car imaginable, and a downpayment on his very own island off the coast of New Zealand (all of which he sought to manifest as a little boy!)... To eventually losing everything he had and starting over with a new focus and purpose that led him to become a much happier and more deeply fulfilled person.  Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Doty reveal the brain science that's involved in  manifesting, the key ingredient he overlooked when manifesting his future as a little boy, and why connecting with your emotions is actually an incredible superpower. Plus, you'll discover Dr. Doty's 6 steps to manifesting (as outlined in his newest book, Mind Magic), how to train your mind to be still and peaceful, and his top advice for attracting more magic and serendipity into your life… starting now.

Stanfordski zaporniški eksperimentPsihologa Philipa Zimbarda je zanimalo, kateri psihološki procesi so v ozadju nenadne spremembe, ko dober človek prestopi mejo med dobrim in zlim. Z eksperimentom je ugotovil, da lahko ekstremne razmere vsakega spremenijo v nekoga, ki drugega namerno rani, poniža, razčloveči, uniči. O tem vsak dan pričajo dogodki. EKSPERIMENT: Avgust leta 1971, klet oddelka za psihologijo ameriške Univerze v Stanfordu, prof. Philip Zimbardo in štiriindvajset študentov, ki so se javili na oglas. Met kovanca je odločil, katerih devet študentov bo igralo vlogo zapornikov in katerih petnajst vlogo paznikov. »Zapornike« so na njihovih domovih aretirali resnični policisti, jim odvzeli prstne odtise in jih z zavezanimi očmi odpeljali v stanfordski kletni »zapor«. Ob prihodu so vsakemu dodelili številko, odvzeli so jim vse osebne predmete in jih preoblekli v enaka zaporniška oblačila. Zakaj je moral prof. Zimbardo eksperiment namesto po štirinajstih prekiniti že po šestih dneh? Kaj nam en od najpomembnejših psiholoških eksdperimentov vseh časov – Zimbardov stanfordski zaporniški eksperiment – lahko pove o človeški psihi? V Ultrazvoku pojasnjuje socialni psiholog doc. dr. Žan Lep (Filozofska fakulteta v Ljubljani in Pedagoški inštitut). Pripravlja Iztok Konc. Foto: PhilipZimbardo/ UniverzaStanford

West's recklessness has hurt Candace Owens and now Donald Trump.  San Francisco has a list of 130 genders if you want to qualify for their free money program… Have the Chinese had enough of lockdowns? There were large protests over the weekend. Given this is a communist country, people took a big personal risk. The Left's obsession with racism is counterproductive.

It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

The Stanford U. band mocked Mormonism at a half-time show in a game between Stanford and BYU. If you want to mock Mormons and Christians, you can do it without fear of criticism. Try mocking Islam and see what happens… Kanye West brought virulent antisemite Nick Fuentes with him to a meeting with former President Trump. West's recklessness has hurt Candace Owens and now Donald Trump.  San Francisco has a list of 130 genders if you want to qualify for their free money program… Have the Chinese had enough of lockdowns? There were large protests over the weekend. Given this is a communist country, people took a big personal risk.  The Left's obsession with racism is counterproductive. It diverts attention from the real causes of disparities between blacks and whites… Japan still believes in traditional beauty contests… Wokeness is everywhere, including the world soccer games in Qatar… Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Google. Very few brands have transitioned beyond their original intent. But Google is one of them. What started in 1998 as a small company launched by two Stanford U students to promote their new search engine has grown to become one of the world's largest conglomerates. Not only that, but the name Google has evolved to become a noun, an adjective and a verb. Don't believe me? Google it for yourself. And even though Google now offers a wide gambit of technological solutions to improve people's life. At their core remains the search engine. Did you know that there are over two trillion Google searches every year? It's hard to fathom how big two trillion is, so let me put it in perspective. There are over 5 billion searches on Google every day. That's 228 million every hour, almost 4 million searches every minute. That's a lot of searching. With an entire planet using them to satisfy their curious minds, Google must ensure its platform is easy to use. Easy enough for young children and seniors alike. You type in what you're looking for in the search bar, and Google provides you with possible answers. It's that easy. Of course, Google's results aren't always what you're looking for. But they make it very easy to try again with another search. But what if I told you some simple tricks could help you get better results on the first try? Here are 16 search hacks to help you find things faster on Google. 1) Use quotation marks (“”) in your search. Enclosing your search term in quotation marks will return results with that exact phrase. For example, searching for “How to start a graphic design business” will only show results with those words in that exact order. Using quotation marks in your search makes it easy to find precisely what you're looking for. NOTE: Using double quotations (“““") tells Google what's inside them MUST be in the search results. 2) Use a minus sign (-) to exclude words from your search. If your search produced nonrelevant results, try eliminating words by placing a minus sign in front of them. For example, if you want to know the top speed of a Jaguar, the cat, not the car. You could search for “jaguar speed -car” This will eliminate searches about the jaguar motor vehicle. 3) Use Site: only to show results from a specific website. Not every website has a search bar. But that doesn't matter if you know Google's site search function. Adding Site: followed by the website you want to search, along with your search term, will return results only from that website. For example, to find out how many computers you can install Photoshop on, you could search for “Site:adobe.com how many computers can I install Photoshop on?” The results will only give you answer from the Adobe website. 4) Use an Asterisk (*) as a wildcard in your search. An Asterisk is a star-looking character you get by pressing Shift-8 on your keyboard (*). Replace a word in your search with an Asterisk to see results with multiple possibilities. For example, if you're planning a trip to Disney land. Searching for “best * at Disney Land” will return results for the best food at Disney Land, the best rides at Disney Land, the best hotels at Disney Land, the best shows at Disney Land, etc. You get the idea. The Asterisk is very useful when combined with the Site: operator. For example, if you want to find results only from government websites, include site:*.gov in your search string, and you'll only get results from websites with a .gov extension. 5) use OR or AND in all-caps to find multiple results. Using OR or AND returns results from both sides of the operator. OR can be used to find multiple results. For example, you could search for “Christmas decorating ideas in blue OR Green.” You'll get results showing blue ideas and results showing green ideas. AND can be similarly used to combine results. Searching for “Christmas decorating ideas in blue AND green” will show you results with ideas that combine blue and green. 6) Use Intitle: to find results from a web page's title. The Intitle: operator can be very useful in narrowing down your searches by only displaying results that include your search term in the web page's title. For example, if you search for intitle: “communicating with your design clients,” Google will show you two results. Episode 284 of the Resourceful Designer podcast on https://resourcefuldesigner.com and the same podcast episode on YouTube. That's because no other web page in Google index has “communicating with your design clients” in the title. Intitle: is very useful for finding relevant pages specific to your search and not just mentioning your search term somewhere in the body. 7) Use Allinurl: to find results from a web page's URL. The Allinurl: operator is similar to the Intitle: operator, except this time, the search term is in the URL of the website instead of the title. For example, typing “Allinurl: Resourceful Designer niche” will return every web page containing the words Resourceful Designer and niche in the URL. 8) Use Filetype: to find specific files. This is one of my favourite Google hacks. Using Filetype: lets you find specific file types such as .doc, .png or .pdf. Say you want to find a user manual for something you bought second-hand, such as a treadmill. Searching for the treadmill's brand name and model number and including Filetype:pdf in your search query will show you results of PFD files of your treadmill's user manual. This is one of my favourite Google Hacks. I use it all the time to get vector logos from companies in combination with the site: operator I mentioned earlier. For example, say I'm designing a poster for a local event, and I need to include sponsor logos on it. Contacting each sponsor to find a vector version of their logo can be tedious. But if they're a well-established company, you can sometimes search their website for pdf files and extract the vector logo yourself. Just search for site:[the company's website] Filetype:pdf. This will show you a list of all the PDFs on that company's website. It's then easy to look through them and find one that has a logo you can extract. Filetype: has saved me countless hours over the years. 9) Use Related: to find similar websites. I find this one useful when doing research. By typing related: and entering a website URL, Google will show you websites it thinks are similar to the one you entered. For example, searching for related:shutterstock.com will show you websites Google believes are similar to Shutterstock. 10) Use Cache: to see a website's cached version. Cache: is helpful if the website you are trying to visit is down. Or if you want to buy a domain and see how it was used before. I used this recently after an Instagram ad and purchasing something from the resulting website. The item I received wasn't at all as described in the ad. And when I went back to the website, it was gone. Luckily, I found a cached version of the site using Cache: and the site's domain name and managed to find their contact information. After several back and forths, they agreed to return my money. 11) Use Link: to find pages that link to another page. This one is useful if you are interested in website backlinks and where they originate. Enter Link: followed by a URL; the search results will show you all the sites that link to that page. This is an excellent way of finding out who links to your website or a competitor's website. 12) Use the Plus Sign (+) to include specific websites or terms in your search results. You can use the Plus sign (+)similarly to the Site: operator. Searching niche+resourceful designer will show results containing both niche and Resourceful Designer. You can also use it as a quick way to narrow down a search. For example, you can search for “famous quote+Henry Ford,” and you'll get results containing quotes from Henry Ford. 13) Us a Tilde (~) to find approximate words. The tilde is the wave-like line usually found on your keyboard's key to the left of the number 1. Press Shift to type it. Tilde is helpful if you are unsure of the spelling word's spelling or if there are multiple spellings of a word. For example, since I'm in Canada, I spell the word colour with a “u.” But while searching for a new printer, I would get the best results by typing “best ~colour printer.” This way, I'll get results showing the best COLOR printers and COLOUR printers. 14) Use brackets () in your search to isolate parts of your search string. Brackets allow you to combine multiple methods I've shared above in a single search string. Similar to a math problem, such as (2+3) x 2 = 10, where you solve what's in the brackets first and then the rest of the equation, adding brackets to your search string can help focus your search. Here's an example of a search combining multiple methods and using brackets to separate them. Site:aiga.org (conference OR workshop) AND (Photoshop OR Illustrator) 15) Search a range of numbers using two dots (..) If you want only to see results between a range of numbers, use two dots between the numbers. For example, typing “who won the Super Bowl 1996..1999” will show results containing the Super Bowl winners from 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. 16) Use @ to find something on social media If you're searching for something and only want results from social media, include @ and the social media platform. For example, “Taylor Swift @twitter” will return results containing “Taylor Swift” found on Twitter. Google can do so much more. There you have it, 16 hacks to improve your Google searching and help you find things faster. And that's only scratching the surface. Google has so many other uses as well. Need to figure out a math problem? Type it into Google search. Need to do a quick conversation from Fahrenheit to Celcius or miles to kilometres or convert anything else? Type it into Google search. Need to know how much your money is worth elsewhere? Do a quick currency conversion in Google search. Are you planning a trip? Search [City Name] to [City Name] to get flight costs from multiple airlines. Need to know what time it is anywhere in the world? Type “Time in [city]” to find out. Don't know what a word means, type define before the word to learn its definition. You can also type etymology before a word to find its origins. Google can also be used to translate languages, get stock prices, find weather forecasts, and so much more. It is a wonderful tool. And I hope that after reading this, you're now more proficient in using it.

Stečki, nagrobni spomeniki, kamni, za katere je nekdaj veljalo, da so del pogrebne kulture bogomilov, v resnici pripadajo zelo mešani tradiciji kulturno, etnično in versko zelo pestri in pluralni družbi, ki je živela na področju zahodnega Balkana od 12. do 16. stoletja, predvsem na ozemlju Bosne in Hercegovine. Poleg tega, da ta fenomen, ki v tistem obdobju težko najde par kje drugje v Evropi, prepleta različna izročila, je veliko raznolikosti tudi v podobah nagrobnikov. Strokovnjaki različnih področji, zgodovinarji, arheologi, krajinarji, umetnostni zgodovinarji, geologi in drugi, ugotavljajo tudi širino in prepletenost »estetskega izražanja, pisave in jezikov«, kot so zapisali sodelujoči v mednarodnem projektu Dežela stečkov: multikulturna družbena slika srednjeveške Hercegovine, v katerega so vključeni tudi raziskovalci z ZRC SAZU v Ljubljani. Magda Tušar se je že za oddajo Kulturni fokus na daljavo pogovarjala z dr. Sašo Čaval, arheologinjo, ki projekt tudi vodi, (med drugim aktivno deluje na Univerzi v Stanfordu iz San Francisca) in z dr. Lucijo Grahek, arheologinjo z ZRC SAZU, ki je bila gostja v studiu. Dr. Monika Milosavljevič, tudi arheologinja, ki sodeluje pri raziskavah na terenu, sicer pa deluje na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Beogradu, pa v zvezi s presenečenji, da je v določenih srednjeveških obdobjih na Balkanu vladala tako raznovrstnost kot homogenost različnih kulturnih skupin, pravi, da bi morali fokus preteklosti in sedanjosti videti v socialnem življenju, namesto da podlegamo nacionalističinim in političnim zlorabam. Tudi antropološka in arheološka znanost sta bili nekdaj dekli ideoloških potreb. Še pred desetletji so v teh skupnostih nastajale prikrite rasistične ideologije ...

"Tek kada se uspostavi poverenje, poslovni odnos biva komercijalan i isplativ." U 180. epizodi Pojačalo podkasta gost Ivana Minića je Ivan Jakovljević, saobraćajni inženjer, konsultant i investitor u okviru kompanije Launch Africa Ventures, koja ulaže u tehnološke startupe. Ono po čemu se Ivan ističe jeste činjenica da je završio prestižni Univerzitet Stanford u SAD. Stoga, za početak on priča o tome kako mu je vojska “otvorila oči”, a potom kako je teklo to putovanje do studija u Americi, od toga kako se dovijao za informacije o školama, preko načina odlučivanja i odabira istih, do polaganja testova i naposletku dobijanja potvrdnog odgovora. Po sletanju u SAD, sačekao ga je kulturološki šok, a potom i šok u vidu pristupa profesora. Kako se izborio sa osećajem da je zalutao tu, a potom prilagodio na okruženje, te koje su četiri najveće dragocenosti koje mu je biznis škola Stanford pružila tokom studija, Ivan otkriva u nastavku. Sa završetkom studija, on se zapošljava u firmi za menadžment konsalting, koja ga nakon izvesnog vremena na Bliski istok. Radivši prethodnih 15 godina u UAE i drugim zemljama Persijskog zaliva, Ivan ukratko priča istoriju Dubaija i Abu Dabija, te objašnjava kakav je potreban mentalni sklop za rad na takvom tržištu. Pokrivši storiju o Emiratima, Ivan se okreće Saudijskoj Arabiji u kojoj se isto tako profesionalno ostvario, te govori kako se tržište ove zemlje otvorilo pre svega pet godina i kako se za to vreme razvijalo i koliki put je prevalilo, usput prisećajući najzanimljivijih projekata na kojima je radio u ovom regionu. Za kraj epizode Ivan se bavi svim onim pitanjima koja sebi postavljaju oni koji razmišljaju da nastave život i karijeru u UAE: uslovi za život i poslovanje, te za zasnivanje porodice i školovanje dece, kao i pitanje klime, bezbednosti i odnosa lokalnog stanovištva prema strancima.

Keď som niekomu hovoril, že idem vyskúšať hypnózu, aby som o nej mohol spraviť podcast, ľudia sa báli, či sa vrátim zdravý alebo či vôbec som zdravý :) Mal som rovnaké predsudky ako ostatní, ale chcel som ju vyskúšať po tom, čo som o nej počul rozprávať Hubermana – profesora zo Stanfordu, ktorého dosť často spomínam vďaka jeho super vedeckému podcastu o rozvoji. Absolvoval som napokon viacero sedení a určite ešte pôjdem na ďalšie. Pre mňa je to jeden z ďalších zaujímavých prístupov, ako sa spoznávať. Veď vypočujte si a uvidíte :) Na všetky moje otázky o hypnóze odpovedala sprievodkyňa podvedomím, Erika Koklesová. Prebrali sme, ako sedenie s hypnotizérom vyzerá, čím sa líši autohypnóza od meditácie a či je v poriadku, ak po autohypnóze človek zaspí. Stáva sa vám, že chcete ísť behať a namiesto toho kapríte na gauči a potom sa týrate? Tak na to existuje skvelá technika autohypnózy s názvom „práca s časťami”. V čom ešte môže byť hypnóza nápomocná? Pomôže s rozhodovaním v stresových situáciách? Alebo k tomu, aby ste večer vypli myšlienky a zaspali? Pre podnikateľov budú zaujímavé Erikine rady, ako odhaliť vlastný potenciál a zistiť, či máte správnych ľudí na správnom mieste.

Když máte doktorát z elektrotechniky na Stanfordu, čtyřicet amerických patentů a řadu prestižních ocenění, nezdá se být prohlášení, že chcete přispět k celospolečenské změně, nijak přehnané. Pochybnosti přichází, když vyjde najevo, že vyrábíte krémy a mýdla, což navíc působí jako mrhání vědeckým talentem. „Kosmetický průmysl používá ročně 120 bilionů kusů plastů,“ vysvětluje Barbara Paldus, proč po letech ve firmách, jež se zabývaly léčbou rakoviny, dostupností vakcín nebo sledováním uhlíkového cyklu, zakotvila v oboru, který sice dělá svět krásnější, ale taky zamořenější. „Prozatím jsme malí, takže nemáme velké problémy,“ přiznává vědkyně, která poukazuje i na nulovou účinnost nebo toxické složení kosmetiky.

Barb má na kontě hodně věcí, který na vás zapůsobí. Doktorát ze Stanfordu z elektrotechniky, několik desítek patentů, vybudování a prodej úspěšných firem v Silicon Valley. Právě na jejích zařízeních se vyrábějí vakcíny Pfizer a Johnson & Johnson.  Aktuálně působí v Codex Beauty Labs - o ní říká, že to není kosmetická společnost, ale hi-tech řešení pro pleť založený na biotechnologiích. Řešili jsme hodně věcí. Třeba: Jak probíhalo studium na jedný z nejprestižnějších univerzit na světě Proč s tituly z elektrotechniky a aplikovaný matematiky zakotvila v kosmetice Co opravdu potřebuje vaše pleť a co se vám jen snaží nacpat kosmetický průmysl Fenoxyethanol - běžně užívaná látka, která ale může způsobit ADHD vašeho dítěte Proč je La Mer nejdražší krém na světě a stojí to vůbec za to Jsme opravdu rádi, že jsme nezávislej podcast - během rozhovoru zazní spoustu konkrétních značek, ať už v pozitivní nebo negativní konotaci. A když budete poslouchat pozorně, dost možná vám ušetříme spoustu peněz a místo v koupelně. :) ❓Kde nás najdete

Americký Forbes o ní píše, že mění celá odvětví. Vystudovala doktorát v oboru elektrotechniky na Stanfordu a svoji první firmu prodala za 225 milionů dolarů (cca 5 miliard korun). Vlastní 43 patentů a na jejích vynálezech běží například výroba vakcín společnosti Pfizer či Johnson & Johnson... Barbara mluví česky, protože je dcerou českého emigranta, mezinárodně uznávaného chemika profesora Palduse, který v roce 1968 emigroval do Kanady. Co je podle ní dnes klíčem k úspěchu v Silicon Valley? V čem vidí smysl svého života? A jak vidí budoucnost světa a lidské společnosti?

V dnešnej epizóde sme sa rozprávali s lekárkou Žofiou Varényiovou, ktorá má úžasné skúsenosti s master programom na Oxforde. V minulosti pracovala v Bratislave a teraz pôsobí v pražskom Motole. Okrem kliniky robí aj veľa vedy, vďaka ktorej sa dostala do Stanfordu a povedala nám, ako taká stáž v Stanforde vyzerá a čo všetko pre ňu musela spraviť. Sama nám ukázala, aké rôzne profesné cesty po absolvovaní školy môžu byť. Viac už v našom rozhovore. Príjemné počúvanie. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rozhovory-md/message

Before founding PhotoRoom, Matthieu was the Senior Project Manager at GoPro. Matthieu is also the co-founder and CTO of HeyCrowd, and co-founder and CEO of As-App.Matthieu earned his graduate degree in materials science and engineering from Stanford University, and his bachelor's degrees in economics, and physics from École Polytechnique. While at École Polytechnique, Matthieu was a member of the skydiving team and debate team. Matthieu also served as a Parachutist Commando Officer in the French Air Force.Matthieu started developing apps in 2009 as a student at Stanford, and subsequently started two iPhone app companies. He was part of the Replay app team when they won App of the Year in 2014. Matthieu started PhotoRoom after leaving GoPro in 2018.In this episode, you'll learn: Matthieu's retention strategies for keeping app users subscribed Innovative and clever ways to get users to demo your app Balancing your app's pricing and features How churn can be an asset Links & Resources YC HeyCrowd GoPro Photoshop Zenlea Shopify Poshmark Depop Corel Matthieu Rouif's Links Matthieu on Twitter Matthieu on LinkendIn PhotoRoom is hiring! 10 Tools to Ship an iOS App in 2 Weeks PhotoRoom's Website PhotoRoom API PhotoRoom on Twitter Follow us on Twitter: David Barnard Jacob Eiting RevenueCat Sub Club Episode Transcript00:00:00 David:Hello, I'm your host, David Barnard. And with me as always, Jacob Eiting, RevenueCat CEO. Our guest today is Matt Rouif, co-founder and CEO at PhotoRoom, the app for removing backgrounds and creating studio quality photos right from your phone.On the podcast, we talk with Matt about how his time at GoPro led to founding PhotoRoom, how churn can actually be an asset, and how being locked in Apple's basement led to one of PhotoRoom's biggest marketing wins.Hey, Matt. Thanks for joining us on the podcast today. How are you doing?00:00:48 Matthieu:Great. Hey David, Hey Jacob.00:00:51 Jacob:Hi, it's nice to finally meet internet/virtual face-to-face. We've known each other for a little while. I've become fortunate to know you kind of through RevenueCat, but not actually know-know you. So, it's nice to finally put a face to the name.I was looking back through my email and I think the first I ever heard of you was from our mutual friend, Cisco, if I say that correctly?00:01:23 Matthieu:Yeah, Francisco.00:01:24 Jacob:Francisco, who shared with me a blog post that I had seen that you wrote where you talked about RevenueCat as part of your stack. Since then, I think we talked as you were thinking about going into YC, and then after YC, I put in a little bit of money, so this is a good opportunity to check in on my investment.I'm super excited to dive in, because there's a lot of questions. I kind of have followed you guys and kind of seeing some of the stuff you've been doing, but I don't know, like the behind the scenes decision making processes and like, and all that stuff. So yeah, I'm excited to hear the story firsthand.00:02:04 David:Yeah, but before we get into PhotoRoom, you've got quite a history in app development. So, I want to go back to the beginning and talk war stories. A lot of people were in the industry way back when. Jacob and I both started really early as well. So, you got your start during the Stanford class and you were actually a teaching assistant at Stanford at the time, right? I'm kind of stealing your story, but yeah. Tell me, tell me how you got into it.00:02:34 Matthieu:Yeah. Actually I wasn't a teaching assistant in physics. I was doing a master's in physics at Stanford, right at the moment of the first iPhone class. And, I actually went to Stanford because I was fascinated by the entrepreneurship. And I had this business idea of printing photos and sending them.And that seemed a lot easier not to buy hardware, but just use the iPhone which just started at that point. So, I was at Stanford, there was the iPhone class. I wanted to do a photo app. So, see, 12 years later....00:03:05 Jacob:A 12 year overnight success.00:03:07 Matthieu:That's what they say. Exactly. And, yeah, I got, I actually, I got started, programming.I was doing physics before, and I didn't know anything about programming. So I took a class with a friend that went through the basics, and I just wanted to push products on apps. And I found that the iPhone was the best at that point. And actually the photo app became something else.The first company I started back in grad school and they became like a ski resorts app. I shipped, we had all of the major ski resorts. And, It was a great, I did that for two years and a major ski resorts and, yeah.I started an apps company after that, one called HeyCrowd around a social network. So like we had surveys that you could answer to with polls, like, a bit like Instagram stories now, and that didn't work so well compared to the ski resort, but, yeah, I got into iPhone apps right since the beginning.00:04:18 Jacob:I remember the Stanford course. It was on iTunes U that was mass disseminated or was it the later one?00:04:25 Matthieu:No, it was the one that it wasn't Stanford U. There was a, the guy from Fitboard during the class. I don't know if it was doing that.00:04:42 Jacob:Yeah. I remember. I remember it being like the moment when we were like, oh, this is going to go mainstream. Right? Like, because up to that point, you had to learn iOS by doing basically Mac OS. That was like the one point there was the big nerd book you learned Mac OS, and then the SDKs came and you like tried to learn quickly, like what worked and what didn't.But, if you were like me who came from no Mac programming, there was really no iPhone entry into it. I remember when the Stanford course came out. It was like one year too late for me. Because like at that point I had already done a lot of stuff, but it was still really great.I still watched the whole thing. I remember watching it. But it's interesting. We have the same path. I don't know if we ever talked about this, but I was studying physics in undergrad as well. Yeah, I didn't go to Stanford, but I went to a small state school instead, just cause, you know. But yeah, kind of similar story where like I was in, I wasn't in grad school, but I was physics, undergrad.Didn't really know what I wanted to do. I really loved physics and the math and all that stuff, but like, there's a stronger economic pull, let's put it that way, to work on apps. That was the same story for me. Like took a little bit of what I had learned, writing code for experiments and things like this, and then kind of started making apps.And then, yeah, the rest is history.00:06:06 Matthieu:Yeah. I think one of the introduction to physics is like how fast data applies to the real world from science to real world. And you don't find that in a, like a physics job where you kind of find that back in, like a software development where you like, can we solve a math problem, a computer science problem, and you can directly apply it to real00:06:25 Jacob:Yeah. Or like, even with business modeling and stuff too, you know, you think about how a business moves and like what number moves this number. And there's no physics there. You're not approximating a physical system, but some of the same principles apply. Right. You're like trying to find some laws that are underlying it and work from there.So yeah, I found it hasn't been terribly unrelevant, but, but yeah, that's interesting. What else, what else do we have in common? Let's keep going.00:06:48 Matthieu:Yeah, sure.00:06:49 David:Well, actually, I, I want to jump in. I want to get to PhotoRoom, so we're actually going to skip over. You've done a lot now. So after, after that you went to replay and replay was like onstage at a keynote. And you're the co founders that you were working with, you know, as, as you joked, before we started recording, spent a month in the basement and apple, as everyone does before a keynote.But then you ended up at GoPro working on imaging. so just tell me about that. Leaving GoPro. I mean, Great company done a lot of innovative stuff. but tell me about leaving to start a PhotoRoom and what the inspiration, I guess we've heard part of it, you know, 12 years of working on imaging and wanting to build a photo app.But yeah. Tell me about the founding of, of.00:07:36 Matthieu:Yeah, I, I, so GoPro is an amazing company, but it's more marketing and hardware. And, I really wanted to, I grew a bit frustrated about like how we could, do better software. Yeah, a few frustration from that I, as a product, I was product manager by them. So I was like frustrated with the design tool, like a Photoshop and, and, you kind of have to move to, and by that time you had to move to California to move the stuff.And I was based in there in Paris and I decided to stay there with the family and, and kind of, we had an amazing missionary team at GoPro in Paris, but it's really difficult to. To change the paradigm of a kind of a software, like a, if it works from a kind of more deterministic way. So I kind of realize that it's really tough to ship a new software with new paradigm, and we've mentioned our new insights.So I thought there was a big opportunity with the new, new hardware coming on, the iPhone formation, learning the new, the new, yeah, this new kind of way of thinking about software. And, I left the GoPro to start a company and we've just ideas in mind. And I also, at the time realized that there was a. A lot of apps, you know, like after 10 years on the app store, you kind of know the tricks of the app store. And I knew there were a lot of apps in the top of the photo apps that were around razor and background eraser. I realized like, okay, if they're just kind of a, you know, I say scam, but it's certainly scam, but all these apps that are built quickly, there must be some demand around it.And so that's, I started with the background remover idea. Like I saw that there was a mission learning team at GoPro that there was some background removal, paper and all that. Okay. There must be some demand. Let's ship something quickly and see how it goes. And that's kind of the nice thing of like 10 years of development, you know, the right tool to go fast and just shipped a prototype in two weeks.We've actually referring at, by then I have a blog post on like the 10 tools I use there and, And, yeah, it was, it went super fast, super fast to the store and we have some machine learning and, on-device machine learning by then. So it's as a, and it kind of caught up, like you tried a dozen ideas on some kind of stay on the wall on some, like, and just stay on the wall.00:09:43 Jacob:So at the time it was called BGE app background app. Right. was the focus initially, did you have like a big scope for it or was that your entry? You were like, Hey, I know that they there's these photo apps that kind of suck that are doing this background thing. I think we can do it better. And like, let's see where it goes from there.Or did you have like a bigger plans or longer term aspirations? 00:10:04 Matthieu:I think there was, an understanding that people kind of needed that and the tech tech was 10 X better as they say. So it was really interesting, but I didn't, I mean, we didn't have the full plan for that. It's really a few months in that we are understood with Elliot the kind of the market fit.And we understood also like this idea of, and we call it, we translate pixels into concept that makes it much easier to, to, to edit. So w for the room is the best for digital for entrepreneurs. And the idea is that instead of using mask and layers and pixels, you just like, the machine learning, understanding what are the.The big cells and they just tell you, okay. A cat. So we call it cat to catch up on the cat. And you should have actions that are relevant to a Catholic changing the fur color. if it's, if it's a piece of clothing, it should be the texture of the clothing. If it's a, if it's a kind of graphic change of color, you know, kind of, it makes it much more accessible than what exists in like 10 year, 20 years, software that exists by for the editing.00:11:03 Jacob:So, so yeah, I mean, I think that sounds like a very much a pitch and a story that somebody would be taught at Y Combinator. So I'm curious, like what I'm curious, like, how did that evolve? Like how so you, you, you, you guys launched the app in the, I remember I was talking in like the spring of 2019.00:11:20 Matthieu:Yeah. Like may 2019. Exactly. 00:11:22 Jacob:And then, you started YC in the fall or the winter?Yeah.00:11:25 Matthieu:No, we actually, so we started YC in the following summer. We were supposed to do the winter batch after that. So seven months. And, we, we couldn't because our visa issues, at some, with the family, I couldn't move to, to, to YC. Yeah. 00:11:42 Jacob:Can tell you there's one way to solve that problem.A global pandemic.00:11:49 Matthieu:Exactly. Yeah. That's exactly right. So we did it involve, I think we shipped super fast. We failure my co-founder who is like a, like a machine learning genius. and we follow early on the YC startup school, which is kind of the, first step to. And, and so what does it help you? It kind of, you measure the, yeah, the progress.So, how much customer you're talking to, Ahmed, how much money you made and how happy you are doing what you do. And so that's kind of how we iterated 00:12:24 Jacob:You were 00:12:25 Matthieu:Months. 00:12:26 Jacob:During, startup school or 00:12:28 Matthieu:Yeah, the school kind of asks you every, every week, discussion and you make sure you make progress on that. I think these are the right question to make progress on your business.And here's, what's kind of, kind of natural, like two months later. So we started in may, may, June on that, application for YC where I probably in September, like, so, so we did like all summer, we did the startup school scheme and then framework and made some progress on that. And we got the YC application in September and the interviews actually in Paris, In, I think November.00:12:57 Jacob:And then, ha had you, I guess like, your, your aspirations or your reasons for applying, I guess, are in some ways, self evident to somebody. You know, obviously you don't need to convince me, but for the listeners, I, what was your, yeah. What were your motivations? Like? Why did you, well, I guess for one there's, you know, I don't know.I always hear there's a couple of reasons, right? Like sometimes it's prestige, like people want to the prestige of YC, sometimes it's, it's the help, which I honestly think is the, the, the best reason. Cause I, you know, it's, it was honestly really good for us, but then there's also like, you know, it's, it's a great way to springboard venture back.Thing, right as well. So like, did you have like strong reasons? Was it all of the above or what was the motivation for, for getting on the venture? 00:13:44 Matthieu:Yeah, that's a good question. so I think number one reason was, ambition. I think like a lot of your brain startups, you Batara, can be not ambitious enough. And I think if you're ambitious, like YC is really a way of, the alpha taking the ambitious path. Okay. Then how to make it like a business and a product that has a strong impact, like on a very large number of people.So that was, that would be my number one. I think then it's kind of the learning. we are at the beginning of the company, we sit for failure, then what's what kind of is the most important, you know, for their culture. And we talked about it also. And, one thing we really value is learning fast and I think YC kind of helps you, you probably a lot of like, you learn so much faster because you're at the right contact.So it's, I mean, it's. It's on the partners. Like every time we have a office hour, almost every time, like, wow. Blown away, there is like also Atlas. I get the right investors, I mean on the revenue, on the like mobile subscription and like, yeah, like you like auger from Blinkist, like, someone from, John from Spotify.So that's really helpful and also extra connection like we have in AI, we have the VP of AI and locale Facebook, and I don't think we could reach this network with, with. 00:15:01 Jacob:Yeah, the network thing is depends on, you know, what your background is. Obviously you had been in the peninsula, but still it's hard to be really deeply networked and still it's hard to. Invest in your engineering skills. Right. And like your IC skills and invest in a network at the same time, which was kind of my world.Like I had an okay network, but like, it wasn't super well networked. So YC was like a big like boost to that. Right. You could get interest to people. You could get a little bit, it's still, a who, you know, game Silicon valley is still in a lot of ways or the broader concept. 00:15:33 David:Before we move on. I wanted to talk to us a little bit more about the, about the ambition of PhotoRoom, because, and this is something I think is, would be really relevant to a lot of our listeners who are, are building apps in the space. And, and I, as an indie developer for 12, 13 years, feel like I've, I've, I've worked too much with, with blinders on.Not thinking about the bigger opportunity. So like the first app I launched was trip cubby. It was a model it's log tracking app, to get reimbursements from taxes or get reimbursed from your company, for your mileage. And I just, I treated it like a little tiny indie business, lifestyle, business, and everything else.Meanwhile, 00:16:19 Jacob:IQ00:16:20 David:IQ built a huge 00:16:23 Jacob:Probably launched about the same time. Right. I would think. 00:16:26 David:No, they launched much later actually, which is even again, it's like I had a multi-year lead as kind of the, how to do that 00:16:33 Jacob:Assuming the market was there. Like my, like you probably came when the market was finally there, 00:16:37 David:Starting to grow, but yeah. But what's so cool. Is that, I think there's so many opportunities in the app store that people overlook that seem really niche. Like you just started out replacing backgrounds in photos, 00:16:50 Jacob:And now you're going to be the next generation Photoshop. Is that a good one? Is that a good pitch? I don't know what the 00:16:54 Matthieu:Yeah. 00:16:57 David:What, what's the ambition that, where that took you from, okay.We can replace background images too. This is, could be a huge business because we're, un-bundling one of the like key parts of Photoshop, which is a massive business. So what, what, what is the, what was the ambition and what is the ambition that you feel that this, this can be such a big thing. 00:17:21 Jacob:How did you, how did you convince yourself of that? The ability to do that?00:17:25 Matthieu:Yeah. 00:17:25 David:Yeah.I mean, it's, it's amazing.00:17:27 Matthieu:I think it's, well first like working on photo, video editor, like I realized that, I mean, video is big. Like we got, I think we free-play then named quick by GoPro. We got to $100 million. It's kind of tell you like, and most people, they are still using like photo collage. So everyone's working on photo and video is too complex for most people.So like, if you get 100 million for a video, then it's probably like any good, like yeah. Project improvement like 10 X product improvement on photo must get like 1 billion users. And I think it's like, that's one of the YC model, but it was really starting from a pain point of myself, like creating the assets for actually for the app store.Like you have to create a PSD. And I was like, you spent so much time on non creative task. And I was like, I want to make that much simpler. And I think the big heart moment was kind of talking to the user. So, and also like talking, yeah. Talking to people like we kind of build in the open and people told us, it's like, yeah, Yeah, it's a, it's like a actually it's like programming, like a U instead of you're you're doing like, object oriented, editing, like you understand what kind of objects you have and you make actions that are relevant to that.And that's, that's kind of done myself, like really burning myself away. Like it's much simpler. Like you have an object and you, you offer it to the user. What's the logic for the subject lines, Photoshop. It's such a pain to learn. Like I think everyone would remember is kind of the blown away part of Photoshop, but also the pain it is to understate.00:18:51 Jacob:And it hasn't gotten easier in 20 years. Like the only way now you can paint on a sphere or something like, there's nothing like new, I still open it and it's comforting. Cause I learned in CS two or whatever, and it's all still the same, but like, I don't think it's necessarily, like, I think, I think there's even a broader near you.I'm going to make your, your $10 billion company, a trillion dollar company. But I think there's an even broader narrative there around just like the future of software and how machine learning. Further like narrows the gap between like in software, like programming, not in the traditional sense, but like telling a computer what to do and the computer telling, like asking us or like bringing us like the things it can do.And you see this in like varying degrees of it working well. Right. like Gmail, like suggesting like absolutely insane sounding replies that I would never say, like, that's kind of that, but, but I think that's all maybe a little bit too far, but I think what you guys are doing, it's really great. You know, like segmenting photos, like giving people those tools, like taking, especially for a tool like email it's like writing, like, I don't know.An AI assistant to like, say, thanks like I can, I got that. Thank you. But for, for, yeah, like, like cutting backgrounds out and like setting up. Yeah. Just building like, things that to a human, because we're so visual in the way we think seem really basic, right? Like I want the cat in front of a blue background, right?Like that. Just tell the computer and it can do that right now. The existing tooling is like very manual and very skills driven. And you guys are bridging that gap. So like yeah. Who knows something? I don't know. Maybe photos, aren't the end of it for you guys, maybe next you just start tackling the next software domain.Right? I, you know, I don't know that we'll get to 10000000001st and then we'll worry about the trillion dollar.00:20:28 David:And that's the really magical thing about your app and your onboarding that I wanted to ask you about. So exactly what Jake was saying. When I think of removing a background and I've worked in Photoshop literally since the nineties, late nineties, I'm old. but it's, I've tried that like a hundred different times.And even in the most modern Photoshop, I don't even know how to do it. I expect it to be. I downloaded PhotoRoom and in like three taps, your onboarding is magical because you don't get in the way of the person having a desire to get something done. And then seeing it happen. So in like three tops from opening the app, I see a background removed and it was just like00:21:16 Jacob:Okay. 00:21:16 David:Instant, like mindblowing experience. 00:21:19 Jacob:Yeah.00:21:20 David:This thing that like, I know it's so hard and I think of needing professional tools and needing to be a professional to even figure it out. It just happens magically after three or four taps in your app was that I assume that was very intentional. Did you have different onboardings before and kind of iterate to that point?Or what led you to just such a focused get the person to that?00:21:45 Matthieu:Yeah, that's a good grade. She was our interview. I think, we like, if we, especially in the beginning every week, we'd go to McDonald's and pay a meal to student or anyone. And they like the tagline for McDonald's and Frances com. Everyone can come in and come as you are. So we really met like tourists students professionals, and like doing user interview.We got so frustrated. I think that people didn't get to the step of removing background that kind of like00:22:12 Jacob:Oh, so you would give them an unlogged out like a brand new device and like, watch them go through onboard.00:22:17 Matthieu:We would like pay the meal initially for downloading the app. We'd like first ask you three, four questions about their photo usage on their, on their phone. kind of ask them to download the app and yeah. Blinded as yeah. And, and we were like came sneaking. We just were, we were just iOS at the beginning.So try to find people with iPhones and not Android, and that was stuff, but yeah, I mean, people usually stopped before and they don't understand something and like to build trust with them, we figured out like the best is to short tech. So I can we get to the point where. We actually have all these people, we try the app that actually see the bag, the magic effect of Futterman like, so like taking a white sheet of paper, we valued microphone and like thinking, how can we do that?And it got to like adding that as early as possible in the onboarding. I think that's, that's, that's fine.00:23:06 Jacob:I think, I remember now reading about the McDonald's testing and your, your, YC application and being like. That's the moment I knew these guys were going to make it, I guess like it's was brilliant, right? Like I, I don't know how much user testing, like real good user testing is. If you do it in some sort of like professional context, it's probably really weird and like expensive and like hard.And this is dead simple, super scrappy. Right? People don't do it because I don't know nerds. Don't like talking to people like we don't like, you know, it's, it's, it's tough to put your, your app in front of somebody and see them. Not, it's one thing to read like bad retention numbers on amplitude is another thing to like, see somebody actually churn and like, but honestly that's the best way to learn.Like this is the best way to like, get really actionable feedback. So, I'm sure that was, that was super beneficial.00:23:53 Matthieu:Yeah, it's a, it's a trick from Zenly. So the social network and maps, like that really is, one of the best, app in embarrass and they, and we apply that and yeah, it requires some. It's not easy, I must say. But, you really, you learn so much and the pain today is more like we have more qualified users.So it's really easy in the beginning when you're in your photo apps and people just as the app and everyone has photos. So it's easy to explain. Then you want to like talk to your kind of retain user. It's difficult to get them at the McDonald, but now we're friends with all the vintage shops around the block.So in Paris, so we get.00:24:28 Jacob:So that, yeah, that was I kind of my question I wanted to ask. I'll just slide it in now, but like I've noticed, I don't know. I don't know if you had this intention initially, but it seems like you've found a new. Even amongst these apps in something I would say commerce or even e-commerce it seems like a lot of people use these, use your app to take photos of objects, to use as like advertising or gone Shopify.Is that, is that true and statement or am I just like misreading investor updates?00:24:56 Matthieu:No, it's totally true. Actually, it's not. The interesting thing is it came from a personal lead, like using, as you say, Photoshop and wanted it much easier for me, but I wasn't clear who was using the CRA's background apps. I'm talking to like user at McDonald's. We realized like there was all these reselling apps, especially in the Europe and the U S where people.Yeah, they're just like selling Poshmark on vintage in Europe and they, there is no app that's focusing on their photo need. Like everyone's doing like selfies or I dunno, whatever lens on video you can make or, but, no one's in it helping them. And it actually came from the user interview like, oh, that some user told us like, oh, my girlfriend would love that she's selling on Depop.And, and we kind of like it after multiple user asking us in support. asking us, and in talking at the user interview of my goal, we realized that, oh, that's a niche that we should kind of focus on. So that's Allie Kim, 00:25:51 Jacob:Was that pre YC, like pretty early in the process.00:25:55 Matthieu:And it came in a few, just not in one day, but it, I think early, after being taken at twice a 00:26:02 Jacob:Okay. 00:26:03 Matthieu:Like early 20, 20,00:26:04 Jacob:So then my next question, I guess, is like, how do you decide then? So you have a car for strong product. You, you, you might have like varying. This is, I think this is very common for a lot of apps and companies is like, you have probably different levels of product market fit depending on the market.Right? So like maybe broadly across all users of iPhone, your product market fit may not be as strong. But then when you look at this one niche, like maybe it's really strong. And then I think some. End up in a situation where you have to kind of decide, like, do I want to go for this maybe less fit, broader market, or maybe a tighter market with a stronger fit that I'm starting out with.Did you have that internal conversation? And then did you make an active decision? Like we're going to focus on this and then yeah. And then what's the plan after that? Like, or is that the forever plan?00:26:48 Matthieu:I think we, the easy part is as a product guy, I'm really convinced that our usage is really deep. Like we're starting from a different Lego brick, like, okay, you don't need it mask or square pixels, you edit like objects. So, I mean, any app that kind of want to copy that Nike that's to stop doing what it does today.So it's kind of the thing that relates to the missionary understanding excelled in the beginning. So we were confident. Digging into this usage and this product paradigm and like product basic block is interesting. And then we decided to focus on the pro usage and, and it's difficult as a follower. You want to serve everyone at the beginning, we were even doing a video plus photo, like in December of 2019, we dropped the video, just for animation.And then we dropped kind off the casual use case to focus on the pro and, and it's, it's been helpful. You're not like giving up on the other users. You, I mean, some of the features, they're still going to use it, the other, the casual, the people doing memes from, from the app, but she just like when you build features, you think about them.And I, around that, I think YC is helpful because. like if you reach local maximum from one vertical, like product market fit, then you investing so much on the take. It gets better than the, all the local maximums or, or adjustment. Like you can reach them after, and it's not a big deal and kind of believe and believing and trusting that helps you on, on like a, okay, we're going to focus on this one for, let's say three months and we say,00:28:14 Jacob:Yeah. I mean, I think that's a really good point in that I think can trip up people early in the process is that you think. That making an active choice to close yourself off to part of the market as a mistake. Cause you're like, well, I want to serve everybody or, well, I want to, you know, I want to have the most broad appeal I can cause it does, it feels wrong, right.To not serve a use case. but often tactically it's a bad choice because yeah, in the early days, anything. Hey find any users that love your product, even if it's a small group, there's, it's a, it's a closer step to like, get your foot onto that than it is to try to get sustainability on like mediocre product market fit across the broad market.Because then also it makes, yeah, it makes your McDonald's discussions easier. Well, maybe you don't have McDonald's discussions anymore. It makes your product discussions easier. Cause you can say like, okay, these are pilot. We're not going to do all this stuff. We're going to focus on this stuff, which gives you more of a loss city.I just really feel there's so much to getting that velocity early. Right. Like getting something that's like moving and growing and getting fast. And I think that's one of the things, I mean, I don't know, I won't, I won't docks you guys on retention numbers and stuff, but you know, when you have a, I'll just say that when you have a pro user base, that's using it for something non casual retention gets easier, right.Like have a reason to come back. And so if you, I mean, there's not that many apps like that. That on it's hard, it's hard, it's hard. It's rare to find mobile apps that have that opportunity. Right. So when it's there, you need to take it00:29:45 Matthieu:Yeah. 00:29:46 David:How do you think about pricing for that value creation? Since, since those that kind of pro segment really probably gets a lot more value than you're even currently charging. because they're actually making money with your product. Like how did you think through your print pricing? And did you iterate to this point from a more kind of consumer pricing to them to a, I mean, to me it feels like you're in the middle still of somewhat consumer-friendly and really honestly, probably cheap for a professional use case.So how did you land on your current price?00:30:24 Matthieu:Yeah, to be honest, it's like most of the photo apps. I mean, when we started and maybe it's different, they are all pricing like 10 bucks a month and that's kind of given by, I guess, Spotify Netflix, like it's kind of the, the glass ceiling of the price of subscription, even for prosumer. And, and we kind of iterated on the under yearly from 40 bucks to 69 bucks, in, in the U.So we didn't like, we kind of landed on that quite early. you don't want to alienate the user, especially if you put the up-selling in the onboarding, like, to be too expensive. I think we have a major opportunity though, to like address the more advanced business and the more than one person in a shop, it's just, it's really difficult to build this a B2B case in in-app like, you don't have that many apps that use that in the up-sell of the phone.So you probably have to show it like. The the first price, to every user and on the pro you probably can to brigade them after, I think it's something we can do later, like focusing on the product for now and make it simple as much as you're like, if you start with two prices, like the support, basically it is going to go crazy.We still do the support of the users. That's something we try to maximize for simplicity here.00:31:37 Jacob:I mean, it's a good point to make, especially too. It depends on, depends on your cashflow constraints as well. Just like how much, how extractive you want to be, how much you want to push it. Right. because you know, when you have good retention, like there's an argument, an argument to be made to not mess that up by because you're raising your price will hurt your attention, right?Like it's kind of at least on paid, right? Like more expensive. It is. People are going to churn more. and if you're compounding your total, like paying subscribers, that might be more important and then extracting an extra, an incremental $2 or $10 or whatever from each user, right. It might be better off just to keep them happy and longterm.And that's what makes it, I don't know, pricing just so complicated. It's about finding that equilibrium to maximize like the longterm area under the curve and not just, not just like the individual LTVs.00:32:27 Matthieu:Yeah, exactly. I think there was one. yeah, we, you want to talk to, like, you don't want to. Expensive at the beginning, you should have too expensive. Like one of the really source of feedback was also our support. And like, if you're too expensive, you get less pro. And the goal, I mean, the reason we launched after two weeks with was like the feedback from process so much more valuable than the feedback from, for users.I mean, you still want people to pay, like, just stop at 500 bucks in long month is going to be like, there's no way people are going to pay for that. So, and I was actually talking on Twitter that like, we actually put forth first a monthly plan because we wanted people to churn and be able to talk to them.So there was really a focus on learning from the 00:33:07 Jacob:Interesting. 00:33:08 Matthieu:Early days.00:33:09 Jacob:Yeah, I've always. Yeah. The, the short, I think, long, the annual subscriptions obviously have a bunch of benefits to, to, to app developers, but you do end up flying blind for a very long time. Right. Until you really know what those numbers look like. So if you're on monthly, purely, it does kind of simplify things early on.Which is another case to be made for just not over thinking your pricing, like initially, right? Like you guys launched just with the monthly and it was fine that you added, I don't know when you added an annual product, but you brought it in when the time. 00:33:40 Matthieu:I think the logical, so learning from GoPro and replay days is the pricing is quite elastic. So you double your price, you divide by two, the number of pros like minus plus 10%. And so, so it doesn't, I mean, it's, I mean, when you get bigger, it's way of doing experiments on pricing, but in the early days it's worth, it's not worth like taking too much time on that.00:34:01 Jacob:Yeah. I mean, it's good to know if you have an elastic curve, it means you're pretty close to, to the optimum already, right?00:34:06 David:Did you start from day one at that $10 a month price point?00:34:10 Matthieu:I think we were at eight or nine. it's pretty much like every pro for the pro apps. Like not selfies was at that on the photo and it's, and I think. The co, I mean, it goes from Spotify on Netflix. Like, everyone's like a, it's like if comparing industry report, they tell you a comparing you to Spotify on that fixed anyway.So it's a, I think it's a good, like a way to start on as they increase the price, they increase kind of the time of all the possible ATV of all the apps, which is really good. Thank you.00:34:40 Jacob:If they don't take care of it, inflation will don't worry. 00:34:43 David:But, but that's just amazing two weeks, to an MVP that you could charge $8 a month for, and people actually paid it.00:34:50 Jacob:Well, 12, 12 years in two weeks, David, if00:34:52 David:Well, right, right, right. No, no, that's a great point. But the point being that there, there are still opportunities that when you have experience and domain knowledge, that it's not the, the programming, it's not the, it's not such a monumental task to build something that's really valuable to people in this space on mobile, that you can build something good quickly with that experience.00:35:17 Matthieu:The first app was really crappy though. Like I think we 00:35:20 David:Yeah. 00:35:21 Matthieu:A few weeks before having our pay first paid users.00:35:23 David:Gotcha. I did want to talk a little bit about your marketing, so, What did you do at launch? Did, did you get a little pressed? Did you, you know, talk to apple, how did you get that initial code?00:35:35 Matthieu:So yeah, we were super, I mean, apple has been super supportive to us. I think. Before GoPro, GoPro acquired replay. so we play was, app of the year, senior as, elevate. So 00:35:46 Jacob:You guys at the year in France, is that what the00:35:48 Matthieu:No, so so I have a card, I brought the screenshot that, 00:35:52 Jacob:The U S 00:35:53 Matthieu:So we didn't, yeah, we didn't, get the U S we didn't get the U S and north America, and it's kind of a private, taser, but it's, we got like most of the Europe and Asia. And, yeah, and then I was seeing like the star that elevate their they're thinking the other U S and we should get that. 00:36:14 Jacob:It was good for you that we hadn't localized maybe 00:36:18 Matthieu:Yeah, 00:36:19 Jacob:That was the thing we were like only English at the time.00:36:22 Matthieu:Well, elevate is such a difficult business to localize. So I think it's a photo video is easy to localize it. Yeah.And, and so we got like, we got the keynote, so, and we kind of, I mean, the app is really good at marketing. using the latest technology of, apple in, like the metal and using the lasers, the GPU, I kind of build a relationship from there, with the apple team and also like learning AR that's kind of the narrative of apple, like to showcase apps.Leveraging the latest technology. They do their marketing through developers and that's awesome for us. Like it's super opportunity. And so what was that? When we started, it was well, we're using a Carmel to do the background removal and we did use like really early on in September of 2019, we use our KPIs to remove the background, to do some live preview of the photo.And so we got into, there is an accelerator inference in the biggest, like sexual life is one of the biggest things. Accenture and apple has a program there and we got in there and they helped us and like marketing and, and business, during the summer. And we had some tech workshop and in September we got Macy's, marketing from the using Eric.He, three, I think, API APIs. So I think all the days was marketing through, using the latest tech software and hardware from.00:37:42 David:And where did it go from there? Yeah. So after, after you've, you've gotten some traction in some of those early customers. did you jump into paid user acquisition 00:37:52 Matthieu:No. 00:37:54 David:Of, of, paid to, organic growth?00:37:58 Matthieu:Yeah. So we got into, we didn't do paid until like, we really got traction and market fit. So early 20, 20, and we started to have some, we got Gary V tweeting about us, like a video, farmer. So that was like a viral video demoing the app. And we kind of, I mean, the thinking was if some videos of demoing for term or viral, it probably works so-so as ad.So we kind of use these viral videos and try ads on that. Started ramping up, I think before YC, Facebook ads. So in April of last year and, it kind of, yeah, it was a good, channel of acquisition for us. And we always had in mind, like, we don't want to spend too much, we wanted to have it under control, but the payback was really good.So we kind of, added mix like, I don't know, it was three 17, maybe at that point in between the, between paid 30% beta and the 70%. And, yeah, organic and so that we ramped that up and I think it wasn't a good time to all this marketing and we kind of fast in that, at that point, because there was a COVID, the beginning of the COVID and all marketing was going down.So it was super cheap to try stuff there. 00:39:09 David:Yeah. 00:39:09 Matthieu:So I tried to be a part of these tick on that an influencer. I like a lot of times. So like all of that, we were at the right time and at the right moment for that day,00:39:17 Jacob:So how much, like are you balancing? I mean, obviously there's always so much you're balancing as a founder. but you know, how much are you thinking about investing back in the app and like broadening your appeal, making it better new markets, like new platforms versus. The scale of approach, like how can we scale marketing and, and continue to grow?Or is it like 50, 50? Like, do you have a top priority right now? Or, or how has the, like, how has your, your mind thinking about like your biggest growth levers?00:39:48 Matthieu:Yeah, we try to try to have a higher, level kind of privacy laws. So let's focus on retention or let's focus on this specific kind of users. So, in the U S for just three months, and we tried to align product and growth, on like a three months of that. And so that's kind of. that's yeah, that's how we think about it with Elliot and, and try to have it on growth and on product and kind of put us to talk more to these kinds of users, so to improve on, on these kind of shoes or just, just niche for instance.And, I don't know if people are selling on this marketplace for a month and then we'll see maybe another nation, another country, but still improve the experience for everyone.00:40:29 Jacob:And are you thinking about marketing in terms of like specific people selling on specifics, like marketplaces, like the you're actually going like channel by channel that, that, that, that closely. And does that inform like features or does that inform creative or how does that feed back into your part?00:40:44 Matthieu:Yeah, we're good. We're getting into that. Like we tried to understand bearer by a persona use case. What's the LTV and what's the retention is, and I think we are at the scale where we start to do that, but before it was like a general, a general creative for everyone and kind of demo the value of the app.And we were super lucky that our creative we're working for them. And I think like now, like the way marketing works, it's, like a. Facebook or Google are doing most of the optimization and you're more into like, what can I add up my creative so that it fit the focus I want to do for it. I don't know if the U S so I'll be a make sure you're in English.I'll make sure if you're like looking at multiple countries, try not to be too localize. I think there is a Netflix called neutralize, or they have a specific wording on making the, the artwork or the creative, not to localized, not to English, for instance. Okay. So you just content that's good. So it's kind of, that dictate kind of what we try to do with growth and marketing.00:41:39 David:That's great. Well, I have a million more questions, but we do need to, to wrap up. We're going to put links into the show notes to find you on Twitter and LinkedIn and, and PhotoRoom is such a great name, easy to Google, easy to find on the App Store. but you're also hiring, what, what positions do you have open?00:42:02 Matthieu:We're hiring a lot. We're hiring on growth and paid acquisition, hiring project designer, iOS developer, Android developer. And the way we think about the team is really to have a, like, we are 10 people, and we have a strong impact to millions of users. So, really leveraged like a small team, high impact.I think it's possible because of apps. So, we're looking for really senior people for that, and mostly in Europe. So we have like a, two, three days a month, in the Paris HQ, but, you can work from anywhere in Europe.00:42:35 Jacob:Yeah. And I'll, I'll second that. I think working on this product would be really interesting. Purely based on my insider knowledge as an investor and your friend, but for real, I mean, a lot of apps don't, you know, get to the point you have. You've got a lot of tailwinds and I think actually, the upsides are go far beyond the App Store.The future is very, very, very big. And you guys are ambitious. So take these jobs. Thank you.00:43:02 David:Yeah. 00:43:03 Matthieu:Yeah. We were thinking be everywhere. We stopped for a while, but we were like mobile first, not mobile only. And we have the web app web tool that we launched last week. We have an API for any developer that wants to remove the background. We have photo and attribution, and have the module folks using it.So it's really, I think we want to be close to the entrepreneurs, and we want to communicate through pro images that sell. And so sometimes it's not an app, it's just a photo and button. And so you can use the API for that. So, yeah. 00:43:33 Jacob:It's pretty great when you have a good product market fit, it just gets really fun. 00:43:37 Matthieu:Yeah. And we have that kind of, now that we have money, we kind of, we have like super smart people on the machinery team. So, we have the best thing on the market to do that. And that's super exciting. Now we're shipping new machinery next, I think next week. And it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see the result on the analytics.00:43:52 David:That's amazing and 10 people. I thought you were bigger. I guess you want to be, you want to be, 15 or 20 with all the postings you have. 00:44:01 Jacob:That's why I'm really bullish on this market, David.00:44:04 Matthieu:Yeah. 00:44:04 David:Yeah, 00:44:05 Jacob:A small team can do a lot of stuff in this space. It's crazy.00:44:07 Matthieu:Yeah, It's00:44:08 David:It is crazy. Well, thank you so much for being on the podcast. It was great chatting, and thanks for sharing your insights, Matt. 00:44:13 Jacob:Yeah. We'll have to catch up again in two years to see how, see how it's going. 00:44:17 Matthieu:Yeah, of course. With pleasure. Thank you guys.

Anela Arifi ima samo 24 godine, dolazi iz Tuzle i jedna je od najdarovitijih svjetskih naučnica i inovatorica iz sektora energetike. Završila je dvije osnovne i dvije srednje škole, jer je uporedo sa redovnim školovanjem pohađala i muzičku školu za flautu. Kad je imala 15 godina kreirala je svoj prvi energetski projekat dobivanja biogoriva sagorijevanjem kokošjeg perja. Svoje poznavanje građe flaute i ljubav prema muzici koristila je kao ideju vodilju u dizajniranju svojih energetskih projekata kako bi sačuvala energiju koju kreira. Učestvovala je na nekoliko naučnih Olimpijada, a učešće na Google olimpijadi u San Franciscu joj je otvorila put na Ivy league univerzitete u USA. Nakon što je dobila prestižnu Kings Scolar završila je Dartmouth collegue. Učestvovala je na studijskom projektu iskorištavanja biljke Miscanthus kao sirovine za gorivo budućnosti na japanskom Univerzitetu Hokaido u Saporu. Iako je pomalo neobično, bez dana radnog iskustva i bez završenog magisterija odmah je aplicirala na doktorski studij i dobila je stipendiju Knight-Hennessy stipendiju Univerziteta u Stanfordu. Trenutno se u timu sa desetak naučnika nobelovaca bavi kreiranjem scenarija za dekarbonizaciju američke države Californije koja do 20135. planira potpuno ukinuti korištenje tradicionalnih goriva. Paralelno izučava i Međunarodni razvoj jer se vrlo uspješno bavi ekonomskom i naučnom diplomacijom. Učestovavala je na Ted Women Talk u San Franciscu 2017. gdje je predstavila svoj projekat smanjivanja energetskog siromaštva sa iskorištavanjem kokošjeg perja. Posvećena je inovativnim bioenergetskim procesima i osmišlajvanju strategija globalnog smanjanja energetskog siromaštva. ___ Ekipa Kolektiva znanja: Produkcija: Digitalni dom kulture Organizacija: Zoran Ivančić Kamera/montaža: Alen Vejzagić Audio: Alan Omerović --- Web: www.dedeka.ba Facebook DDK: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFJ4bEVMbVZsblRDNW1LQVdsNk1mWnRUcEd0QXxBQ3Jtc0trVmprOHV0dTQ0WWpPTGJZVWJjVVBqNDBOVkFCeThhS1IyWGlDWGsycld0WG9fTVJwM3ZzTVd3Wl9aUHZmcmEwY3MyZlVlS3JDTjBxZm1vSXlsSHBLcXY3YVZ3cXhQZkhnMkN1ZGpVNFJ3V3N3dkdMMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDigitalni-Dom-Kulture-DDK-101965038039184%2F (https://www.facebook.com/Digitalni-Do...)

Zetty throws J Smiles off with a request for a cell phone. What seems like a simple ask turns into a quest for the holy grail. For Zetty, J soon realizes it is a dignity issue too.J Smiles takes listeners on a rollercoaster journey of communication product assessments. She points out design features created to improve the lives of seniors. Question is does J agree. Will any of the items help a dementia/ALZ sufferer like Zetty? J Smiles leans into her product design and engineering expertise to dive deep into the market --- putting Zetty first, she finds a solution in the oddest place.###Tune-in every Monday for Parenting UP!

Chef Angela (Angela Gorham) joins J Smiles for an in-the-trenches-right-now-conversation. Like J, she is single, childless and her mom's full-time caregiver. Another commonality, another's death made their mother's Alzheimer's undeniable. Listen for Ms Gorham's shocking thrust from condo to caregiver.With less than one year of caregiving under her belt, Chef Angela asks J pertinent and picky questions as an OG caregiver. Such honest inquiries set the stage for a meaningful exchange not loss on either speaker. J Smiles laughs and softs steps through measured expectations of "does it get better" probes. J Smiles gives sage advice like never before. Each tells of talents unleashed through the journey of Parenting UP! Chef Angela is quick to explain why lying is her newest sign of love --- "Trying to explain the truth... oh, no I do NOT do that anymore."###Chef Angela YOUTUBE CHANNELhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_NQ62XEy-aWAlrPNqtTpzQ/aboutTune-in every Monday for Parenting UP!

Choices and options are celebrated all over the world. Everyday we are encouraged to expand more, try more, do more. We are trained to avoid boredom at all cost. And definitely never become too bland or predictable. J Smiles asks the listener to trash this thinking. Alzheimer's created a need for patterns, repetition and routines in her mom's life. J treads lightly putting variety in Zetty's day. Smiles uses quirky yet truthful stories of when too much variety bit her in the butt. The overarching message of the episode is to stick to strategies that give the best care with the least amount of stress to the caregiver.###Tune-in every Monday for Parenting UP! with J Smiles "THE LIVE video broadcast" on Getvokl, a casual conversation @ 9p EST USA:https://getvokl.com/channel/parenting-upSubscribe to Parenting Up!

J Smiles moves swiftly to shed light on a normalized bias in the United States that really irks her. The legal marginalization of the elderly. She gives examples of how lawmakers and policy pushers have not included Alzheimer's sufferers in their protective based legislations. She parallels television parental controls for minors and seeks the same progressive choices for caregivers. Ever the storyteller, and always with levity, J Smiles paints a picture of the immediate harm currently experienced by Zetty and offers real options for solution. ###Let's turn THIS PODCAST into a true conversation...

Ameriško-slovenska izobraževalna fundacija (ASEF) spodbuja povezovanje med Slovenci v domovini in po svetu. Hkrati pa najbolj obetavnim mladim daje priložnost in odpira vrata, da razvijejo svoje potenciale in talente. V petek, 24. julija 2020, je štipendiste slovenskega rodu iz tujine sprejela ministrica Helena Jaklitsch. O ASEF je govoril eden od ustanoviteljev in član odbora direktorjev, izredni profesor na Stanfordu v ZDA, dr. Jure Leskovec. Govorili so tudi prof. dr. Jernej Ule, eden izmed ASEF mentorjev ter štipendisti: David in Ana iz Clevelanda in Nadja iz Bariloč. Z odgovornim urednikom Novega glasa Jurijem Paljkom smo se pogovarjali o novi podobi tednika.

Renewable energy is the future. But before we get there, we still need to figure out how to store renewable energy properly — and there are a billion ideas trying to do this. This week, Nature N8 talks to Dr. Antonio Baclig about one of the possible solutions: vanadium flow batteries.Antonio is a postdoc at Stanford University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, working in The Chueh Group. He discusses the intermittency of green power, smart grids, and the challenges of designing a future battery for 100% renewable energy. Support “Waste Not Why Not” on Patreon.

"GORBY" (audio mp3) is Loose Bruce Kerr's original satire/parody from 1990 on the occasion of the about-to-disintegrate Soviet Union's premier's visit to Stanford U in California's Bay Area. Bruce lived 8 mins away so it was only logical he drove there with his guitar & tape deck around his neck playing his pre-recorded background tracks, mounted CNN's 2 story scaffold where they were beaming live to Atlanta, and sang this song about Gorby, which was then nationally broadcast at the end of the 8pm segment that evening. On the 30th anniversary of the then-thawing relationship between the US the Soviet Union's Mikhail Gorbachev, Bruce wrote and recorded this song on his 4-track TEAC cassette deck, then sang and played it live at his gigs with the background tracks added behind him. Loose Bruce Kerr is from Waukesha, Wisconsin, home to multitrack & guitar inventor, Les Paul, and now lives in northern California. After a 20 year music and performing career (he opened for "Weird Al" Yankovic), Bruce resumed his law career he had earlier dropped and eventually became Assistant General Counsel of Sun Microsystems. He now is a lawyer working at Oracle which acquired Sun in 2010. email: BKerrLaw@aol.com visit: loosebrucekerr.com (free download of videos & audio mp3's) songs and videos also on youtube.com (video of Gorby live at Stanford U that day is at: https://youtu.be/JBVjmoeSFKU low res live audio)

With a name associated with the famous university in Palo Alto, Leland Stanford is among the best-known of the famous “robber barons” of the 19th century. Yet as Roland De Wolk explains in American Disruptor: The Scandalous Life of Leland Stanford (University of California Press, 2019), much of his fascinating life has been obscured by efforts to hide some of his most nefarious activities. Growing up in New York, Stanford became a part of the general movement of many ambitious Americans westward soon after reaching adulthood. After a few years in Wisconsin as a lawyer and political candidate he followed his brothers to California, where Stanford operated a general store that provisioned the miners in the gold rush of the era. His burgeoning business and political career made him an ideal partner for the group that formed in Sacramento to build a railroad connecting California with the rest of the United States. De Wolk demonstrates how Stanford used his term as the state’s governor to benefit the Central Pacific Railroad, the success of which made him one of the country’s wealthiest men. Yet for all his success Stanford’s life was marred by personal tragedy and dissension with his partners, leaving a dubious legacy upon his death that was salvaged in large part thanks to the persistent efforts of his wife Jenny.

Matej Praprotnik je veteran podcastanja - ali na malo drugačiji način, jer je započeo na RTV Sloveniji gdje je nakon povratka iz SAD-a uveo malo drugačiji način razmišljanja i stvaranja sadržaja, iz čega su nastali prvi podcasti u Sloveniji, a vjerojatno i široj regiji. Matej je na Stanfordu upoznao neke od legendarnih radio voditelja i njegovih uzora, te je počeo drugačije pristupati ideji vođenja radio emisija. Isprva nije bio dobro primljen, no s vremenom se pokazao u pravu. Danas RTV Slovenija neke sadržaje radi na način da se snimi epizoda podcasta u trajanju od pola sata-sat, a isječak se emitira na radiju. U Sloveniji trenutno postoji oveća zajednica podcastera i kultura slušanja istih - što se nadamo da ćemo započeti i u Hrvatskoj. Epizoda je snimana "na terenu" na Weekend Media Festivalu, te je snimak malo lošiji nego inače. Teme o kojima smo pričali su: 00:40 Kako izgleda najbolja prezentacija koju je Saša vidio, po kriteriju improvizacije?05:00 S radia na podcast - priča o početku08:00 Kako izgleda podcast scena u Sloveniji?10:35 Koja je razlika između podcasta i radija?13:55 Radio community ili romantična ideja o radiju14:40 Priča o poznatoj pjesmi15:50 Šta se događa u našem mozgu?17:00 Ljudi koji savršeno razumiju moje podcast interese18:40 Što treba poslušati onaj koji želi naučiti?

Biologové ze Stanfordu doložili, že bakteriální společenstva v nás zvaná mikrobiom vyrábějí tisíce malých bílkovin, kterých si nikdo dosud nevšiml. Otázkou je, k čemu slouží? K běžné komunikaci, soupeření nebo třeba jen k úklidu?

„Ten titul vám vlastně nic nezaručuje. Jen známku, že jste dokončil nějaký stupeň vzdělání. Teď se u nás ale začíná projevovat to, co je např. ve Spojených státech běžné po desetiletí. Začíná se řešit, jakou školu jste vystudoval. Když jste absolvent Harvardu nebo Stanfordu, tak máte skoro jisté zaměstnání a vaše finanční ohodnocení je mnohem vyšší, než když vystudujete stejný obor na ‚no name‘ škole,“ říká v Rozhovoru Martina Minhy rektor Univerzity Karlovy Tomáš Zima.

It's week 2 of college football! We discuss Stanford's 31-10 win over SDSU and their top-20 matchup this week against USC. We also lament our poor gambling results from last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyw8A4rsQnU

In recent news, Andy and Dave discuss a recent Brookings report on the view of AI and robots based on internet search data; a Chatham House report on AI anticipates disruption; Microsoft computes the future with its vision and principles on AI; the first major AI patent filings from DeepMind are revealed; biomimicry returns, with IBM using “analog” synapses to improve neural net implementation, and Stanford U researchers develop an artificial sensory nervous system; and Berkley Deep Drive provides the largest self-driving car dataset for free public download. Next, the topic of “hard exploration games with sparse rewards” returns, with a Deep Curiosity Search approach from the University of Wyoming, where the AI gets more freedom and reward from exploring (“curiosity”) than from performing tasks as dictated by the researchers. From Cognition Expo 18, work from Martinez-Plumed attempts to “Forecast AI,” but largely highlights the challenges in making comparisons due to the neglected, or un-reported, aspects of developments, such as the data, human oversight, computing cycles, and much more. From the Google AI Blog, researchers improve deep learning performance by finding and describing the transformation policies of the data, and using that information to increase the amount and diversity of the training dataset. Then, Andy and Dave discuss attempts to using drone surveillance to identify violent individuals (for good reasons only, not for bad ones). And in a more sporty application, “AI enthusiast” Chintan Trivedi describes his efforts to train a bot to play a soccer video game, by observing his playing. Finally, Andy recommends an NSF workshop report, a book on AI: Foundations of Computational Agents, Permutation City, and over 100 video hours of the CogX 2018 conference.

The Stanford Raagapella were the first group we ever recorded on #TheSpotlight. In 2018, we invited them back into the mobile studio, and talked about their evolution from an all-male to an all-gender group, their growth as a group, and more. Plus, they sing some tunes for us!

Welcome to another episode of Biotechnology Focus radio. This week we are discussing some of the recent mergers and acquisitions that have been rocking the headlines, some recently awarded grants and how machines are moving fast. I am your host Michelle Currie, here to bring you the lowdown on the Canadian biotech scene.  +++++  Celgene, a biotech giant, has merged with and acquired Juno Therapeutics and their leading blockbuster drug cancer therapy in one of their largest deals ever. For a total of $9 billion, Celgene will pay $87 a share in cash for those not already owned by this corporation.  Celgene and Juno have been collaborating since June 2015 under which the two companies would leverage T cell therapeutic strategies to develop treatments for patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases with an initial focus on CAR-T and TCR technologies. In April 2016, Celgene exercised its option to develop and commercialize the Juno CD19 program outside of North America and China.  Juno develops cell-based cancer immunotherapies based on chimeric antigen receptor and high-affinity T cell (CAR-T cell) receptor technologies to genetically engineer T cells to recognize and kill cancer. Several product candidates have shown compelling clinical responses in clinical trials in refractory leukemia and lymphoma conducted to date.  This acquisition will position Celgene to become a preeminent cellular immunotherapy company with a platform to be at the forefront of future advances. JCAR017, a pivotal stage asset, with an emerging favorable profile in DLBCL, is expected to add approximately $3 billion in peak sales and significantly strengthen Celgene’s lymphoma portfolio, and JCARH125 will enhance Celgene’s campaign against BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen), a key target in multiple myeloma.  +++++  The global pharma industry is undergoing a dramatic transition from a quest for blockbusters to the design of a precision medicine based drug design. Artificial intelligence is one of the most prominent elements that has been adopted as part of the transition from a fully integrated pharmaceutical company model of drug design to extensive interaction with smaller innovative R&D companies as well as academic institutions.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the activity devoted to making machines intelligent, and intelligence is that quality that enables an entity to function appropriately and with foresight in its environment (definition proposed by Nils J. Nillson, Stanford U.). Even though there are numerous definitions for AI, this one fits nicely into the goal of using machine learning for improving the rate of success in the design of novel and cost-effective therapeutics.  One of the primary reasons that AI has such a great potential in drug development is that there is a huge amount of health data available right now in the public health system. Clinical trials’ data, electronic medical records (EMR), genetic profiles and much more is the wealth representing the notion of BIG DATA in healthcare. The main challenge regarding the processing of big data is the need to process it in a meaningful and cost-effective fashion. That is why training a machine to fulfill the task becomes so attractive. Selecting and adjusting the right algorithms is the first essential step but once it is in place, training machines to find optimal patterns between the structure of “druggable molecules” and their optimal activity is within reach.  Canada has established a leadership position in training of machines to learn how to perform complex tasks, in a relatively short period of time. Based on recent commitments to the space, it is expected that we will witness in the foreseeable future designs of novel and much more specific therapeutics with higher potency and lesser side effects. The prospects are quite encouraging in light of the shift global pharma industry is adopting towards precision medicine. That shift will rely on sifting through patients’ medical records. Canadian AI machines are learning fast and are expected to become a key player in advancing academic concepts into standard and streamlined processes and organizations. In Ontario, the University of Toronto has emerged as a world-leading hub for research and entrepreneurship in this area. A potent combination of long-standing academic research in conjunction with the adoption of machine learning methodologies have already proven to be game-changing opportunities. Interactive approaches to computer science and medical research, combined with emerging best in class entrepreneurship programming and training is already yielding some fascinating fruits in the area of AI for drug discovery.  Companies like Structura Bio are taking the complex computational challenge of reducing noisy images from cryo-electron microscopes into readable highly accurate 3D structures of proteins and are doing what used to take a server room filled with computers a week, in a matter of seconds. Similarly, Phenomic AI (a recently incorporated UTEST company) uses a technique called deep learning to analyze data from high-throughput phenomic screens to analyze cell and tissue phenotypes in microscopy data with incredible accuracy. It holds out the potential for eliminating human intervention in the assessment of all that data. In some cases, companies like Deep Genomics and Atomwise are going all the way by leveraging their respective AI technologies to become drug discovery engines themselves. Our awareness of the impact of the AI revolution in drug discovery is already enormous and we’re only at the beginning of its adoption cycle. Future advances in Canada will be buoyed further by strong academic and institutional foundations that have been put in place to assist Canada in sustaining this advantage. The Vector Institute, as an example, was established in 2017 in partnership with Canada’s largest companies and the Federal and Provincial Government’s to attract and retain world-leading research talent and to promote cutting-edge research in the field.  Recently, partnerships have been established between the MaRS Innovation research healthcare ecosystem (UHN, Sickkids, Sunnybrook) with global players in the space of machine learning based drug design and developments. Partnerships with Schrödinger and Evotec have been established to capture the enormous potential of “fishing in the pond” of EMR’s rich source of unraveling the tissue/cellular architecture as a baseline for the discovery of novel disease targets, which thereby establishes a mechanism for better drugs.  The field of AI in the service of medical research is still in its infancy, but the initial avalanche of results is already starting to give us an idea of the great potential that machine learning can offer to those embarking on advancing drug development. Reducing screening times, aiding new drug candidates and finding the most effective drugs for specific diseases at a speed that humans cannot achieve is compelling, and we believe that AI will increasingly become part of the medical landscape. Once hurdles such as data standardized collection and storage as well as data privacy concerned are addressed, it is expected that we will witness an exponential inclination in the implementation of machine learning as a powerful tool in the design of more potent drugs with lesser side-effects. The FDA and Health Canada are encouraging pharmaceutical companies to join the choir.  To conclude, rephrasing from Eric Topol of the Scripps Research Institute (CNBC, May 2017), “The potential of artificial intelligence has probably the biggest impact of any type of technology on healthcare.”  +++++  Two of Canada’s largest producers of cannabis have struck a deal after months of negotiations and a hostile takeover bid. The board of directors and the special committee of the CanniMed board have agreed to support a new offer made by Aurora for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanniMed not owned by Aurora.   Terry Booth, the CEO of Aurora Cannabis says, “We are very pleased to have come to terms with CanniMed on this powerful strategic combination that will establish a best-in-class cannabis company with operations across Canada and around the world.”   The new offer for CanniMed is approximately $1.1 billion based on Aurora’s implied share price of $12.65. The maximum amount of cash available under the amended offer will be $140 million, and the number of Aurora shares to be issued will be between approximately 72 million and 84 million. Assuming maximum cash elections, each CanniMed shareholder would receive $5.70 in cash and 2.9493 Aurora shares.  Despite CanniMed filing a law suit against Aurora earlier this month, this deal provides the optimum outcome for both companies.  +++++  The Ottawa Hospital has been awarded $12.7 million in the most recent project grant competition from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The grant funding will be going to sixteen research groups at the hospital who are in affiliation with the University of Ottawa. This represents an enormous success rate of 30 per cent, doubling the national average.  The new funding will provide researchers the much-needed capital to delve deeper into their studies ranging on a plethora of subjects – anywhere from oncolytic viruses as immunotherapy treatments, using a holistic approach to improving the quality of life for the homeless, to understanding the role of liquid metabolism in the brain.  “I’m delighted that our researchers have once again achieved such a high success rate,” says Dr. Duncan Stewart, executive vice president of research at The Ottawa Hospital and professor of medicine at the University of Ottawa. “These new research projects have the potential to redefine the future of health-care, both at home and around the world.”  The Ottawa Hospital has scored above the national average in CIHR grant competitions for the past several years, including 2015, 2016, and 2017. This research centre shows great promise and innovative studies for the years ahead.  For the summaries of all the projects please visit biotechnologyfocus.ca   +++++  Well that wraps up another episode of Biotechnology Focus radio.

Singer-songwriter and up-and-coming pop star Ellis Martin has easily fulfilled the willful maxim, "Give the People What They Don't Know They Want" with an innovative amalgamation of electronica, '60s Motown and doo-wop that he calls "Molly Pop". Although the label might ring as provocative, it doesn't detract from music that is simultaneously contemporary and timeless. For proof, just listen to his debut EP, Pornotopia, co-produced by fellow Stanford U. alum, Jidenna, whose "Classic Man" hit was released on Janelle Monae's Wondaland label. Originally from South Side Chicago, Ellis is now based in New York and working on volume two of Pornotopia which will see a 2016 release. In the meantime, he's preparing to spread his titular concept, an insanely melodic stance against society's inauthentic view of sex and love, with a slate of live performances.

Published Oct 20, 2011 Fire up your Kindle!  In this episode I'm going to introduce you to the author or a riveting book full of secrets, family history, and discoveries!   GEM: Interview with Steve Luxenberg, author of Annie's Ghosts We're going to mix things up a bit in this episode, and I want to start off with an email I received recently from Jay in New York who writes:   “I have been catching up with all of your family history podcasts. Over the years I have collected a wealth of information on the family. Some good, some not-so-good, some out in-the-open, some hidden.   How do you deal with revealing "forgotten" items about family members to other family members? I had an uncle who had a marriage at a very young age, and would like to have forgotten about it. My mother told me about it. I put it on the tree. While showing off the fruits of my labor to his family this "forgotten" marriage was revealed with not happy responses.   The things we find in our tree may not always be "good", How does a person deal with that? and revealing it to others?”   This is a great questions, and it's sort of a cooincidence that this episode's publish date coincides with Family history Month and Halloween because we're going to explore ghosts and skeletons in the closet.   But actually there's nothing really spooky here, but rather these are things that can be found in many family.  Secrets, small and large.  Skeletons in the closet that are often closely guarded by others in our family.   It's a tricky business navigating your way through the shakier branches of the family tree, so I've invited a special guest to the show who has done an incredible job of climbing those branches in his own family.   Steve Luxenberg is a Washington Post associate editor and award-winning author. In his 25 years at The Post, he has headed the newspaper's investigative staff and its Sunday section of commentary and opinion.  Steve is going to join me for the full episode to talk about investigating and dealing with family secrets as he did in  his book Annie's Ghost.  It's a riveting tale that kept me feverishly tapping the “Next Page” key on my kindle.    is about a family secret that Steve stumbled upon in the late 1990s.  His mother, who had always claimed to be an only child, had a sister, Annie.  And while that was a big surprise all by itself, it was just the beginning of a series of secrets and revelations that Steve unearthed by tapping into his long career as an investigative journalist, and employing newly found genealogy techniques and strategies.  In this interview we talk about being aware of what's missing in records and stories, rather than just focusing on what is on the page.  For those of you who are Premium Members this discussion is a great follow up to Premium Episode #77 where we talked about being more keenly aware during our research. Steve's also going to share he thoughts on storytelling, which he truly masters in this book.    And then we get into some of the genealogical techniques he used.  How to avoid Tainting Memories in Interviews, and how to balance the give and take as well as win trust with the person you are interviewing.  And speaking of trust Steve describes how he was able to be incredibly successful in obtaining sensitive documents and getting cooperation from various government agencies and other repositories.   He's also going to tell us about a little known legal maneuver that he made that really made the difference for him in obtaining some of the most closely held documents and how you can use it too!   And finally he'll share his personal feelings about what it was like to get a add a new member to his family, his long lost Aunt Annie.   Resources Mentioned: Dillingham Commission's report on immigration, in digitized form, courtesy of the Stanford U. library. Vol. 4 describes immigration conditions in Europe (much of it focusing on Italy, if I remember correctly), and Vol 37 examines voyage conditions, focusing on steerage.       Quotes from Annie's Ghosts:  “What I didn't expect, as the week wore on, was that the family would expand to take in a new member.  But that's what happened.  As people dipped in and out of the records, as the debates flew about what we knew and what we didn't and whether we should be digging around in the past, Annie gradually became a part of the family consciousness.  She was no longer just a name on a hospital record.  She was no longer just a secret.”   “I stopped thinking like a son and started thinking like a journalist.”   “I offer to send her the letters; it's an unexpected present for her, and I'm glad to be able to make the offer, because it allows me to give as well as take, something reporters can't often do. It's also a good way to win trust.”    “I want to make sure that if she knows about Annie, she tells me before I tell her, so that I capture her spontaneious memory first.”   Stay tune - Episode 121 wil feature part 2 of this interview.  App users: check out the Behind the Scenes Steve and Lisa video!
