The Department of Defense (DoD) has spent decades building programs to attract innovative small businesses and accelerate emerging technology into the defense market. Yet according to former Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Small Business Programs Director Farooq Mitha, the department was still losing 3 to 5 percent of its small business Defense Industrial Base each year. The challenge facing defense innovation is no longer simply finding promising technologies. It's creating pathways that allow innovative companies to grow, compete, and remain part of the Defense Industrial Base.In this episode, host Dr. Arun Seraphin sits down with Mitha, now CEO of the Imbue Group, to discuss the evolving role of small businesses in Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition, emerging technology, and innovation. Drawing on more than a decade of experience inside the Pentagon, Mitha reflects on efforts to expand small business participation, modernize programs such as Mentor-Protégé, and strengthen pathways for emerging companies to compete in the defense market while supporting the Defense Industrial Base.Seraphin and Mitha also examine the growing role of venture capital in national security, emerging technology investment, and the Pentagon's efforts to connect private investment with defense priorities. As Mitha notes, "the government cannot out-invest the private sector," but attracting capital is only part of the challenge. The harder task is creating the demand signals, acquisition pathways, and growth opportunities that allow innovative firms to become enduring players in the Defense Industrial Base, strengthening the Department of Defense (DoD) innovation ecosystem and the broader defense market.For updates on our content, sign up for our weekly mailer: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/sign-up2026 NDIA Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition September 9-10, 2026, at the Walter E.

Few companies have a better real-time read on the American economy than Delta, and few CEOs are more willing to say what they actually think. Ed Bastian returns to Rapid Response to share what Delta's booking data is telling him that the headlines aren't, why he's not convinced by AI until it moves his top line, and how he decided to yank congressional travel perks during the government shutdown. He also explains what it takes to stay optimistic when fuel costs are spiking, the Strait of Hormuz is in the news, and the world keeps finding new ways to be unpredictable.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Beth Howen, President of State, Local Government and Education (SLED) at NTT DATA, who helps government agencies and school systems modernize the technology touching everyday life. Beth traces her path from becoming a state CIO in Indiana at 28 through leadership roles at Capgemini, TELUS International, Atos, and the City of Indianapolis. So how did she do so much at such a young age? Beth credits it to a willingness to work outside rigid processes when they don't serve the outcome. She and Tammy dig into how AI risks compounding government's legacy-system problems if agencies automate broken workflows instead of modernizing first, and the promise of AI-powered care reaching rural and underserved communities.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Beth Howen Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jake Jurewicz is the Co-founder and CEO of Blue Energy, a nuclear power plant developer. Blue Energy starts with proven, light water reactors and builds everything around them — prefabricating standardized nuclear plants as massive modules in shipyards and fab yards, then barging them to site. It pairs that with a patented gas-to-nuclear approach that energizes the plant on gas turbines first and converts to nuclear later. The goal is to make nuclear cheap enough and fast enough to build that private lenders will finance it, rather than the taxpayers and ratepayers who've carried almost every plant built so far. The company recently announced a collaboration with GE Vernova on a 2.5-gigawatt gas-plus-nuclear project in Texas, built around GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor, with backing from VXI Capital, At One Ventures, and Engine Ventures. The why now is straightforward: AI data centers are pulling on the grid harder than anything in a generation, firm clean power is scarce, and the cost and speed of building nuclear have been the thing holding it back. Jake's bet is that the fix lives in how you build and finance the plant, rather than in the reactor itself.

Less than 1% of U.S. businesses that ever raise outside money end up raising venture capital, and most founders chasing it don't actually need it.In this entrepreneur interview, Jeff Amerine — a venture capital investor and longtime advisor in the startup ecosystem — breaks down the real landscape of startup funding: when to bootstrap, when to raise, and why most companies burn time chasing the wrong kind of capital. He and co-hosts Daniel Koonce and Grace Gill also dig into what VCs actually look for, the most common fundraising mistakes founders make, and the difference between convertible notes and SAFEs.Whether you're bootstrapping your first idea or getting ready to pitch investors, this conversation will change how you think about who to raise from and when.What you'll learn:The three main ways founders fund a business and how to know which one fitsWhy raising venture capital has only gotten harder, and what VCs are really evaluatingThe most common fundraising mistakes founders make (and how to avoid them)Convertible notes vs. SAFEs, explained in plain EnglishWhat a strategic investor actually offers and when it's worth taking their money⏱️Chapters 1:26 Welcome to the Startup Junkies Podcast 2:03 The Three Ways to Fund a Small Business 3:43 What Is Bootstrapping? 5:33 Does Venture Capital Only Fund Tech Companies? 6:46 The Truth: Less Than 1% of Businesses Raise VC 7:33 When Is a Founder Ready to Raise Money? 9:59 Why Raising Venture Capital Has Gotten Harder 11:15 Inside a VC Firm: From 1,000 Deals to 3 or 4 12:43 How to Actually Find Investors 14:19 Common Fundraising Mistakes Founders Make 16:43 Convertible Notes vs. SAFEs, Explained 21:27 Why Startups Actually Need Money 23:35 What Are Strategic Investors — And Are They Worth It? 27:16 The Deal Jeff Wishes He'd Invested In

The SaaS world is in the middle of a brutal reckoning. Products that looked innovative 18 months ago are quietly becoming redundant — not because markets disappeared, but because the floor rose. In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Brian Herr, a 30-year technology and SaaS veteran, to dissect what it actually takes to build a software business that survives — and wins — in the age of AI.Brian brings sharp investor-grade thinking to the conversation, drawing on his work with startups, venture studios, and PE-backed companies. They cover the death of thin-wrapper SaaS, why blocking AI agents is a catastrophic mistake, how security and compliance have become unexpected competitive moats, and the critical distinction between a product that helps and one that solves. If you build software or provide services, this episode is non-negotiable.Key Takeaways4:08 — The value expectation from SaaS platforms is shifting fast. Thin wrappers around someone else's AI model have no future — customers will ask why they're paying when they can do it themselves.4:53 — Companies that survive will be the ones that solve real problems, curate the right data, and give meaningful feedback — not just deliver a slick interface.6:46 — Investor rubrics have changed. A key new question before committing capital: "Can this be replicated as a Claude skill or agent in six months?" If yes, it's not fundable.7:39 — Where physical world meets digital data is a major investment magnet. These companies have stronger moats, are more AI-resistant, and occupy underserved territory.13:53 — Natural language interfaces are no longer a differentiator — they're an expectation. And Brian's crystal ball: local on-device AI will push this even further into everyday life.14:29 — Natural language is democratizing technology for older users. If you don't have a conversational interface, the market will pass you by.20:23 — Agents are no longer just for technologists. CFOs and revenue officers are using them. Blocking agents is a strategic blunder — competitors are advertising agent compatibility while you're building walls.21:00 — The smart play: figure out what people are doing with agents hitting your platform and monetize it. Blocking just pushes them to your API — or to a competitor.21:20 — Every SaaS company needs a quarterly gut-check: What is my value? What do I do well? How do I evolve? A business plan from one year ago doesn't fit today's market.33:04 — Security, compliance, and certifiability are the new defensible moat. You literally cannot vibe-code your way into SOC 2, HIPAA, or AI trust scores. That's the value story.33:59 — The AIUC-1 framework is making AI applications insurable for the first time. MITRE has joined the consortium. If your SaaS uses AI, this becomes part of your trust story.39:50 — The single most important product question: Does it help, or does it solve? Helpful gets cut from budgets. Essential doesn't.43:09 — Going niche gives you orders-of-magnitude higher odds of success. Trying to do what everyone else is doing? Your chance of success drops to 13% or less.47:37 — Brand trust and human relationships are more important than ever. People do business with people. When you become indifferent to your customers, you become a vendor. Vendors don't survive.Tweetable Quotes"If someone opened a fresh ChatGPT window right now and got roughly the same result your product delivers — would your customers notice the difference, or would they even care?" — Jeff Mains"The thin wrappers aren't going to make it very long. What's going to survive is companies that still solve real problems, curate the right data, and give the right feedback." — Brian Herr"One of our investment rubrics now: Can this be turned into a Claude skill or agent in six months? If so, it doesn't make sense for us to invest." — Brian Herr"Natural language interfaces are now an expectation, not a differentiator. If you think you'll eventually get around to it, the market will pass you." — Brian Herr"Helpful solutions get cut from the budget first. Solutions that solve don't. Stop asking whether you can bolt on AI and start asking whether customers actually need YOUR data and process to make it work at all." — Jeff Mains"Agents are becoming for everyone — especially as the interface evolves. Blocking them is evolve or die." — Brian Herr"Figure out what people are doing with agents and monetize it. People will pay for it. By being a blocker, you're just pushing them to find another way." — Brian Herr"People do business with people. When you become indifferent to your customers, you stop being a partner and become a vendor. Vendors have a hard time surviving." — Brian Herr"Success is a journey, not an endpoint. The founders who make it understand you're going to be a little wrong — as long as you course correct in the right direction." — Brian HerrSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Moat = Data + IP + Experience, Not Interface A beautiful UI sitting on top of a commodity model is not a business — it's a countdown clock. Your defensible moat is proprietary data, domain expertise, and institutional knowledge that competitors cannot prompt their way into.2. Run a Quarterly Value Audit Especially in the $5M–$15M revenue range, ask yourself every quarter: Does my business plan still match the market? What do I do well, and how am I evolving? Founders who don't course-correct veer further off target every quarter until they no longer recognize where the target moved.3. Embrace Agents as a Revenue Channel, Not a Threat Your API traffic spikes are signals, not attacks. When agents are hitting your platform, that's demand you haven't monetized yet. Build for agent access, charge for it, and let your competitors play defense while you build offense.4. Compliance and Trust Are Your Unfair Advantage In a world where anyone can vibe-code a competitor over a weekend, the thing they cannot replicate is your certifications, your compliance posture, your years of regulated-market experience, and your insurance-grade AI trust scores (AIUC-1). Make this part of your sales story.5. Help vs. Solve Is the Only Product Question That Matters Helpful products live in discretionary budgets — they're the first cut when times get hard. Products that solve real, urgent problems command non-negotiable budget lines. Every feature you build, every market you target: ask which one it is.6. Stay a Partner, Never Become a Vendor When customers feel like a transaction to you, you become a commodity to them. In the $5M–$15M range, clients know your team personally — that trust is a competitive advantage. Build systems to maintain it as you scale, or risk waking up one day to find out you've been quietly moved to the vendor pile.Guest ResourcesWebsite: https://www.startingblocks.io/LinkedIn (6k): https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-herr/https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kS1WsPODEaqtMnB_g1_Dut6oTv1FYYvXEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Im Podcast-Gespräch zeichnet Prof. August-Wilhelm Scheer, Wissenschaftler, Unternehmer, Vordenker und Mitgestalter einer Branche, die Deutschland über Jahrzehnte geprägt hat, ein kritisches Bild der deutschen IT-Entwicklung. Deutschland habe zwar den Computer mitentwickelt und verfüge mit SAP über einen weltweiten Softwareerfolg. Den Übergang von Hardware- zu Softwareinnovationen habe man insgesamt aber verpasst. Dennoch blickt Prof. Scheer positiv in die Zukunft. Die Rahmenbedingungen für Startups seien heute deutlich besser als noch vor Jahrzehnten. Jungen Gründern rät er, nicht auf schnelle Erfolge oder Finanzierungsrunden zu setzen. Unternehmen sollten möglichst organisch wachsen und sich nicht zu früh von Investoren abhängig machen. Als Vorbilder nennt er die frühe Entwicklung von IDS Scheer und SAP, die bis zu ihrem Börsengang ohne klassisches Fremdkapital gewachsen seien.

Anika sat down with Deanna Dolecki and Ashley Ruggeri to explore how they built a thriving, 100% virtual boutique agency by leaning into radical authenticity. The conversation revealed how their Gen X and Millennial dynamic fuels their strategy, why hiring for intangibles matters more than a resume, and how they cut through the digital noise with unscripted banter on their podcast, Ducks Unplugged.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Blue Duck Agency and how a "no-meeting Wednesday" led to a radical rebrandWhy Deanna hires for "intangibles" and how asking about high school grades reveals a candidate's true characterAshley's transition from buttoned-up banking to thriving in the "gray area" of agency lifeLaunching the Ducks Unplugged podcast as a business strategy and creative testing groundHow Gen X and Millennial perspectives complement each other in leadership and marketing strategyThe truth about hustle culture and how different generations brand their work ethicWhy generative AI (like Deanna's ChatGPT, "Janice") is a tool, not a replacement for human creativityBrainstorming on the fly: Pushing boundaries with brands like Netflix and TupperwareTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Building businesses around radical authenticity 01:42 The origins of Blue Duck Agency and diverse career paths 05:24 Hiring for the "gray area" and the importance of intangibles 10:10 Launching the Ducks Unplugged podcast to differentiate the agency 18:48 The Gen X and Millennial dynamic: Bridging the generational gap 23:24 The Blue Duck rebrand: Standing out in a sea of yellow ducks 26:51 The "hustle culture" rebrand and generational work ethics 36:31 Balancing radical honesty with professional boundaries and real-time feedback41:25 Generative AI in marketing: Why human creativity still wins 45:36 Pitching Netflix a "binge pass" and other pop-culture brand moments 50:48 Favorite quotes and life mantrasKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Authenticity is a Differentiator In a crowded agency landscape where everyone offers similar services, clients buy the people. Creating unscripted, imperfect content like Ducks Unplugged lets prospects experience the team's chemistry, humor, and problem-solving skills before they ever book a discovery call. Perfect polish is out; relatable authenticity is in.Insight 2: Hire for Intangibles Over Resumes Resumes get you in the door, but character keeps you in the room. By asking candidates to talk through their intentions and past choices—even going back to high school—you learn how they navigate challenges, communicate, and fit into a remote, tight-knit culture.Insight 3: Generational Differences Are a Strategic Asset The contrast between Gen X (Deanna) and Millennial (Ashley) perspectives creates richer marketing strategies. Instead of clashing, these diverse viewpoints—from how they view hustle culture to how they consume media—ensure that campaigns resonate across different age demographics.Insight 4: AI is a Tool, Not a Strategy While generative AI is great for efficiency and thought starters, it cannot replace human experience. Relying too heavily on AI leads to homogenized marketing where everyone sounds the same. The human element, drawn from real-world experience and cultural nuance, is what makes campaigns actually convert.Insight 5: Embrace the "Gray Area" Having team members who thrive in the gray—testing, trying, and innovating without a guaranteed outcome—is crucial for an agency's evolution. Not every podcast segment or marketing test will work (like a blind dating show for marketing channels), but giving your team the freedom to test is how you find the strategies that stick.Resources & Links MentionedBlue Duck AgencyDucks Unplugged PodcastDirect Mail Marketing (and why it's making a comeback)About Deanna Dolecki & Ashley RuggeriDeanna Dolecki is the President of Blue Duck Agency, a boutique female-founded marketing agency.

This is a remastered Replay of one of our most popular episodes, "What Startups Can Learn From Poker", which was originally published on 21 December 2022. Enjoy!Original description: All season, Chris and Yaniv have talked about the mindset that is needed to succeed at venture-backed startups. For the final episode of Season 1, we tie it all together with an analogy: tournament poker. It is amazing how many things poker and startups have in common, so in this episode we use the lens of poker to discuss the big picture of how to approach building a successful startup. We dive into each of the following commonalities between poker and startup life:01:56 Playing an iterative game10:00 Burning cash13:31 Making decisions based on uncertain information18:46 Progressive learning28:44 Avoiding 'resulting'35:02 The relatively low probability of a successful outcome (and why that's OK!)This episode was inspired by the book 'Thinking in Bets' by former pro poker player Annie Duke.The PactHonor the Startup Podcast Pact!

Best Practices for Investor Introductions Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising requires connections to investors. After a founder exhausts his own network, he must draw the circle wider to reach out to investors he does not know. Here are some best practices for investor introductions: Personalize the request for an introduction. If making it to an investor, show how this request is unique to them. If making it to someone who will make the introduction, provide that personalized message to them for their outreach. Find a way to deliver value. Investors look for new information about an area of interest for them. Provide market research or a contact who knows more about that space. Demonstrate the value of the introduction by showing how it's important to your work. Investors aren't interested in spending time on things that don't matter. Finally, return the favor. If they provide the introduction, then see how one can provide value in return. Consider these best practices for investor introductions. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Bloomberg reported that Jeff Bezos backed an AI startup focused on discovering new materials for chipmaking, with no company name or deal terms disclosed. The report aligns with rising use of AI in materials research, including DeepMind's 2023 GNoME results and a Microsoft and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory effort that produced a battery electrolyte candidate in under nine months. Amazon Web Services' custom chips, including Graviton, Trainium, and Inferentia, underscore strategic interest in semiconductor performance and supply. The CHIPS and Science Act authorized $52.7 billion in incentives and R&D, with 2024 awards of up to $8.5 billion for Intel, $6.6 billion for TSMC, and $6.4 billion for Samsung. Materials vendors such as Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron, JSR, Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, EMD Electronics, Entegris, Shin Etsu, and SUMCO shape qualification paths. Startups face long validation cycles and can pursue joint development, milestone based licensing, and data partnerships to reach production.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Finn didn't come from insurance. He came from startups — real estate, entertainment, a TPA. But when he looked at the Canadian Insurtech landscape and saw how much was being left on the table, he decided to do something about it.He took over InsurTech Canada. And then he started rebuilding it from the ground up.In the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast, host Alex Bond sits down with Finn for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to build an insurtech ecosystem — not just talk about one.Finn shares how he transformed InsurTech Canada from a non-profit meetup organisation into a for-profit, deal-flow-focused platform with a curated membership of 27 companies. And he opens up about his next move: launching an InsurTech investment fund, focused primarily on Canadian companies but with eyes on the US and UK markets too.They also get into:✅ Why Canada lags 2–3 years behind other markets — and what needs to change✅ The talent drain pulling founders and operators south of the border✅ How to evaluate founders (and why people skills matter as much as product)✅ His vision for Canada to become a genuine global hub for InsurTech innovation✅ What it means to have "skin in the game" when you're championing an ecosystemWith a clear commercial mindset, a growing network across carriers, brokers, MGAs, and capital providers — and a fund on the horizon — Finn is one to watch.#LeadershipInInsurance #Podcast #Insurtech #InsurtechCanada #VC #Innovation #Insurance #Canada Hosted on Acast.

Advertising legend Dave Trott joins Dan Pope to explain why most marketing goes unnoticed, why brand should be your second thought, and why simple, blunt ideas beat clever jargon. From Toshiba and Audi to Volkswagen, Nike and Steve Jobs, Trott breaks down the campaigns, principles and creative decisions that made brands impossible to ignore.He explains why the best advertising is useful information, brilliantly executed; why every idea should be simple enough to repeat in the pub; and why distinctive work starts by asking what the advertising is actually supposed to do.

Toy entrepreneur Brad Pederson shares how building multiple toy companies and going through three bankruptcies taught him that struggles forge character. From launching a styrofoam glider as a kid to getting thrown into special loans by his bank, Brad unpacks why pride comes before the fall, how he learned to become antifragile rather than just resilient, and why courage is the cardinal virtue that makes creative ideas matter. He discusses the three roles of a CEO, the importance of play for adults, and how his book Startup Santa captures the lessons of failing forward. Hosted on Acast.

Récompenser l'innovation, c'est armer ceux qui la tueront.Philippe Aghion a passé sa carrière à modéliser cette contradiction qui lui a valu le prix Nobel d'économie 2025, partagé avec Joel Mokyr et Peter Howitt.Fils d'un couple juif arrivé en France en 1945, il grandit dans l'idéologie communiste de son père qu'il partage pendant toute sa jeunesse.Après un doctorat en économie à l'université de Harvard, il s'attaque à une question jamais vraiment résolue : d'où vient la croissance ?Le modèle dominant, de Robert Solow, l'expliquait par l'accumulation de capital et le progrès technique. Mais sans pouvoir définir l'origine du progrès technique, ce modèle restait incomplet aux yeux de tous.C'est ce trou qu'Aghion et Howitt tentent de combler à partir de la fin des années 80.Ils repartent du concept de destruction créatrice de Schumpeter pour prouver que la croissance vient de l'innovation cumulative. On innove pour faire des profits. Et chaque innovation rend la précédente obsolète.Mais ce modèle cache une contradiction.Pour pousser à l'innovation, il faut récompenser par des rentes. Sauf qu'une fois installés, les innovateurs d'hier utilisent ces rentes pour bloquer ceux de demain.Réguler une économie, c'est arbitrer ce conflit en permanence.Et c'est précisément à cette tâche que l'Europe a failli, selon lui.Il la décrit comme un géant réglementaire qui a tué sa propre politique industrielle et déplore la fuite de l'épargne des Européens vers les marchés américains.Dans cet échange, Philippe Aghion donne sa grille de lecture du monde :Son plan pour redresser les comptes de la France sans taxer davantage les richesPourquoi l'Europe a tant de mal à produire des licornes ? Et comment y remédier ?Le contrat d'évolution, son alternative au revenu universelComment l'IA accélère déjà la recherche, même au plus haut niveauPhilippe Aghion ne se décrit pas comme un optimiste, il considère que redresser la France et l'Europe est un « objectif de combat ». Et il livre dans cet épisode sa feuille de route pour y parvenir.Vous pouvez contacter Philippe sur LinkedIn.TIMELINE:00:00:00 - Les innovateurs d'hier bloquent ceux de demain00:10:59 - Vers un capitalisme social ?00:18:16 - Comment l'épargne européenne finance les licornes américaines00:25:33 - Son plan pour sauver les finances de la France00:31:16 - L'alternative de Philippe au revenu universel00:40:01 - L'Europe a réussi la paix mais raté la croissance00:45:51 - Le gaullisme 2.0 pour relever la France00:54:57 - "Ceux qui n'adoptent pas l'IA vont souffrir"Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #546 - Présidentielles 2027 - Édouard Philippe - Le courage politique et l'addiction française à la dépense publiqueNous avons parlé de :Inside Google's The GroveMichel DevoretFlexisécurité: le Danemark est-il un modèle?L'ENS Cachan devient l'ENS Paris-SaclayComment la Chine est devenue imbattable ?C'est quoi exactement la "taxe Zucman" ?Voici ce que devra faire en priorité le futur président de la République : les conseils de Philippe Aghion, Alexandra Roulet et Xavier JaravelLa Commission AttaliQuels sont les critères de Maastricht pour participer à l'UEM ?La mission French TechLes recommandations de lecture : Sapiens : Une brève histoire de l'humanité, de Yuval Noah HarariUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : Squarespace : https://squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (code DOIT)Vous pouvez retrouver la liste de tout le matériel utilisé pour enregistrer nos épisodes sur cette page.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Funny how it works — the same week the Silicon Forest lands federal funding worth up to $160 million, the stuff that actually holds a community together is getting quietly built at street level. A machinist in Gresham shipping an AI tool for the shop floor, Latino Founders taking out a 15,000-square-foot building downtown for the entrepreneurs who chose to stay, a Pendleton drone accelerator opening a pipeline clear across the Pacific to Korea.

Critterz was one of the first feature films built primarily with AI, but OpenAI abruptly shut down Sora, the very tool its director was relying on. Nik Kleverov, Chief Creative Officer of Native Foreign, joins Rapid Response from the Cannes Lions festival to make the case for why AI isn't killing Hollywood, it's about to reinvent it. He breaks down why 2026 is year zero for mass adoption of AI in the film industry, and why human talent is more in demand than ever when great storytelling is the goal. Kleverov also confronts the darker side of the technology: deepfakes, scams, and the blurring line between real and generated, and offers a surprising possible solution.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anika sat down with Kristian Fields, President of Klover Contracting, to explore why the construction industry remains stuck in outdated practices while a few innovators are fundamentally reshaping how large-scale infrastructure gets built. They revealed a counterintuitive truth: the problem isn't labor shortage—it's workflow predictability. Kristian's 25-year perspective on construction management and his experience scaling Klover offered practical solutions against the persistent "construction can't change" narrative, alongside a sharp look at where prefabrication and AI actually create value.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Kristian's transition from VP Field Operations to President and what it actually requiredScaling velocity: watching Klover expand from regional contractor to national prefab leader with 100,000 sq ft manufacturing facilityThe prefabrication bet: why solving a 450,000-worker shortage required rethinking entire construction workflowsTeam culture that endures: why the "31 Fundamentals" campaign transformed hiring and retentionWhy documented processes and institutional memory matter more than raw headcountThe ongoing myth that prefab compromises quality—what real project data actually showsBuilding the BIM-to-Field execution bridge and why that gap existedLeadership lessons from historic preservation to data centers: why architectural intent matters in every buildPredictive automation versus chatbot AI: where manufacturing is actually headedTimestamps00:00 Introduction: 25 years in construction management10:00 The prefabrication origin story and why it started 15 years ago12:16 The construction industry's real problem: skilled labor shortage and workflow unpredictability22:01 Environmental impact: reducing 3,000+ gallons of diesel fuel through prefab consolidation29:24 Preparing for AI-assisted manufacturing: rethinking BIM coding for future machine integration36:33 Advice for newcomers: pursue work you enjoy, stay close to target roles, maintain humility39:00 The core mantra: "Be relentless about improvement" and "action over accuracy"Key Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Workflow Unpredictability Isn't a Labor Problem—It's a Strategy ProblemConstruction sites with 50+ workers juggling electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and structural crews operate like traffic on a congested highway. One trade delays another. The industry assumes the solution is hiring more workers. Klover's insight: the problem is predictability. By moving complex coordination off-site into BIM modeling and prefabrication, you eliminate the traffic jam entirely. The fix isn't more people—it's smarter workflows.Insight 2: Culture Scales Through Documented Examples, Not Top-Down MandatesThe "31 Fundamentals" campaign works because it's not a poster on the wall. Every week, Kristian shares one fundamental with real examples of employees living it. Other employees then submit their own interpretations. Recognition follows. That's how culture survives hypergrowth—through repetition, example, and celebration of behavior you want to see.Insight 3: AI Amplifies What You Already Have—It Doesn't Create Value in a VacuumKristian isn't chasing chatbots or automation theater. He's preparing for AI that augments human expertise. The vision: BIM models coded to eventually communicate with automated welders or assembly equipment. Workers don't disappear—they expand their capacity. If you don't have documented processes and repeatable workflows, no AI tool compensates. Your advantage is the expertise you've already built.Insight 4: The Future Isn't Conversational AI—It's Predictive IntelligenceForget chatbots answering questions. Imagine manufacturing AI that knows your project timeline, your site constraints, your crew's skill level, and your budget—and it automatically optimizes panel sequencing, delivery schedules, and installation sequences without asking a single question. That's predictive intelligence. That's where Klover is heading.Resources & Links MentionedKlover ContractingWebsite: www.kloverinc.comServices: Prefab construction, BIM coordination, data center solutions, healthcare, multifamily housing, higher educationKey ConceptsBIM (Building Information Modeling): 3D digital modeling that resolves design conflicts before manufacturingJust-in-Time Delivery: Manufacturing and delivering components precisely when needed to avoid wasteThe 31 Fundamentals: Weekly cultural communication framework covering safety, quality, teamwork, and accountabilityPrefabrication: Off-site manufacturing of building components for faster, safer, more predictable installationAbout Kristian FieldsKristian Fields is President of Klover Contracting, a prefabrication and commercial construction leader serving healthcare, multifamily housing, higher education, and data center markets across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Small business owners have plenty to worry about these days. According to John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of Small Business Majority, his organization's surveys show optimism is slipping as owners grapple with soaring health insurance premiums, rising energy costs, and the higher price of imported goods. And yet, the wave of entrepreneurship that began during the pandemic hasn't faded. In fact, it's still growing. So what's going on? Why are so many people choosing this moment to start businesses? What do they think they're seeing? And perhaps the more important question: What can we do to improve their odds of success? Along the way, John also makes the case that one of today's politicians understands the needs of small businesses better than most. You may be surprised by who he names. This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

In this episode of The Friday Habit, Mark sits down with Kevin Downey, a Kansas City-based entrepreneur and recruitment leader who helps B2B companies build high-performing sales teams and create scalable lead-generation systems.Kevin shares how his early career in golf equipment sales eventually led him into entrepreneurship, recruiting, outbound sales, and email marketing. He explains why his first attempts at email outreach failed, what changed when he began writing emails like real phone conversations, and why properly structured email campaigns can deliver an unmatched return on investment.The conversation also explores how small businesses should approach their first sales hire, why commission-only roles frequently fail, and how Latin American business development representatives can help companies scale outbound activity at a manageable cost.Kevin also challenges one of the most common beliefs in modern sales: that cold calling no longer works. According to Kevin, activity still creates opportunities. The problem is not that calling has stopped working—it is that many representatives are not consistently making the calls.Whether you are building your first sales process, hiring a business development representative, or trying to generate more qualified B2B leads, this episode offers a practical look at the systems, activity, and execution required to grow.
