Podcasts about startups

Alternative meat looks like it is collapsing. Startups are shutting down, funding is drying up, and headlines are calling the category finished, but that reaction may reflect a misunderstanding of how technological revolutions actually unfold. Bruce Friedrich, President of the Good Food Institute and author of Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food and Our Future, explains why most people will not change behavior for values alone, why price and taste are the real adoption gates, and why "only" $3 billion in cultivated meat funding is far smaller than it sounds when spread across years and companies. Paul and Bruce discuss what it will take to reach taste and price parity, why governments increasingly view alternative protein as food security and national security infrastructure, and why today's failures can be a normal feature of early-stage category formation rather than proof the model will not work. You will leave with a clearer, more evidence-driven view of what is happening now and what progress actually looks like. Things You Will Learn: How taste and price parity shape S-curve adoption in food, regardless of ethics or intent Why $3B in cultivated meat investment may be insufficient relative to comparable industrial innovation cycles How food security, geopolitical risk, and economic competitiveness are driving government interest in alternative protein Tools & Frameworks Covered: S-Curve Adoption – helps evaluate whether setbacks are normal in scaling technologies Eliminating the Green Premium – helps frame what it takes for sustainable products to win at mass-market scale B2B Enablement Strategy – helps identify leverage points that unlock category-wide progress   #BusinessForGood #SustainableBusiness #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #PrecisionFermentation

Nous enregistrons volontairement assez peu de personnalités politiques depuis le début du podcast.Mais ça pourrait changer d'ici un an, si l'envie nous en prend.Car Génération Do It Yourself a pour mission de piquer notre curiosité, de comprendre, de progresser.Alors nous avons décidé de faire un grand écart, un panorama, pour essayer de comprendre un peu mieux le monde polarisé dans lequel on vit.Après avoir reçu François Ruffin, réputé très à gauche, nous avons voulu échanger avec Sarah Knafo, généralement placée sur l'autre bord de l'échiquier.Deux extrêmes d'un spectre que nous pensons être parmi les plus intelligibles.Dans cet épisode, Sarah Knafo, députée européenne Reconquête et candidate à la mairie de Paris pour 2026, défend sa vision démocratique de la France.Nous abordons tous les sujets qui fâchent : dépenses publiques, bureaucratie, immigration, sécurité, souveraineté.Ancienne magistrate à la Cour des comptes, Sarah a passé deux années à analyser les dépenses de l'État.Elle nous explique pourquoi la France n'a pas un problème de recettes et détaille son plan pour économiser 80 milliards d'euros.Nous évoquons également :⁠ ⁠L'État profond à la française et comment le contournerComment se préparer à l'exercice du pouvoir⁠Sa volonté de faire de Paris un laboratoire démocratique pour la France et le reste du monde⁠Des exemples étrangers et ce qu'ils font de bien⁠Sa vision sur l'immigration et pourquoi “accueillir n'est pas humaniste”Un épisode politique sans filtre où Sarah assume ses positions tout en expliquant pourquoi elles relèvent selon elle du simple bon sens.Vous pouvez contacter Sarah sur Linkedin et Instagram.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Être radicalement démocratique ?00:13:18 : L'État profond à la française00:24:42 : Préparer son arrivé au pouvoir pour dépolitiser l'État de droit00:31:16 : Gouverner ensemble par référendum00:39:24 : Le naufrage financier de Paris00:53:33 : Pourquoi cette fois serait différente des autres ?00:59:18 : Les Français ne doivent plus payer pour les erreurs des politiques01:12:10 : La goutte d'eau d'un pouvoir déconnecté01:21:28 : Est-ce que la France peut devenir rentable ?01:31:27 : Il n'existe pas de gratuité pour un service public01:42:40 : L'école doit former l'esprit critique, pas blanchir des idées01:52:24 : Accueillir n'est pas humaniste ?02:07:49 : Quels différences entre Reconquête et Rassemblement National ?02:23:51 : Trump, Milei, Meloni, peut-on s'inspirer des autres pays ?02:31:52 : La quatrième vexation pour l'homme, l'intelligence n'est plus le propre de l'hommeLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #515 - Pierre de Villiers - Ancien Chef d'État-major des Armées - “Nous ne sommes pas prêts pour la guerre”#512 - François Ruffin - Député - En finir avec l'État perfusion#507 - Laurent Alexandre - Vers la fin des études supérieures ?#401 - Emmanuel Macron - Président de la République - Les décisions les plus lourdes se prennent seul#389 - Nicolas Colin — The Family — Le détournement de fonds qui traumatise la tech françaiseNous avons parlé de :L'histoire de la privatisation de TF1Le mouvement des Gilets JaunesLe documentaire “Au boulot !” avec François RuffinDocumentaire Arte sur la politique carcérale du SalvadorLes recommandations de lecture :Le mal français, d'Alain PeyrefitteUn Occident kidnappé, de Milan KunderaUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : SquareSpace : 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 (réduction en cours avec le code MSTEFANI)Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

On this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing who gets to build software and what that means for work, creativity, and human agency. Masad traces his journey from growing up in Jordan teaching himself to code and connects it to his love of video games which helped inspire him to build a platform that turns natural language into working software. The conversation spans everything from why gaming mindsets make better builders, to how CEOs are rediscovering hands-on creation, to why “vibe coding” is the next form of literacy and why computational thinking is more important than syntax mastery. The conversation also digs into the future of AI agents, long-running autonomous workflows, and what it means to design environments for machines rather than humans. They also confront harder questions about jobs, fear, regulation, and society's responsibility during a cognitive industrial revolution. The episode ultimately reframes AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a force that can return people to a more entrepreneurial, expressive, and meaningful way of life.

Chris shares his journey of building a ground-up dental practice from a shell, highlighting lessons learned around construction, IT, design, and avoiding costly rookie mistakes.  The duo also explores why the fundamentals of a successful startup haven't changed, despite the rise in costs and consolidation across the industry.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price conducted a live one QB PPR startup draft with Nerd Herd members, revealing stark strategy differences from superflex formats. Rich secured Bijan Robinson at 1.02, while Garrett grabbed De'Von Achane at 1.06, and Matt made an experimental pick taking Brock Bowers at 1.10 despite later regretting the decision. The draft showcased dramatically different positional value compared to superflex formats. Drake May went in the second round, but most quarterbacks fell significantly later. Rich won the quarterback chicken game, waiting until round 10 to take Dak Prescott while quality options like C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, and Jared Goff remained available. He emphasized cycling through veteran quarterbacks in one QB formats rather than investing premium picks. Matt's Bowers pick sparked debate about tight end strategy. He admitted afterward he would pivot to CeeDee Lamb if redrafting, noting Tucker Kraft went in the fifth round with similar per-game production. Rich doubled down on tight ends, taking Kyle Pitts and Dalton Kincaid back-to-back, betting on elite upside at the position. The hosts agreed this represents the deepest young tight end class in dynasty history, making waiting on the position more viable than ever before.

Are those regulations shaping consumption? How are investors thinking about cannabis startups given the difficulty with exits? Most importantly, what's the deal with the increasing potency of cannabis?Each guest has their own perspective, Andrew sees it as a natural reaction from CPG brands to power users, Ford points to “flyover” operators unconcerned with long-term health of the industry, while Socrates refers to moonshine drinking during the prohibition to say that regulations create these problems.Speaking of moonshine, alcohol consumption is dropping dramatically among Gen-Z, with many pointing to cannabis consumption as a substitute. Some perceive cannabis as healthier and lacking caloric nature of alcohol, which could explain why there are now more daily smokers than daily drinkers!Timestamps:(0:00) Guest Introductions for the Cannabis Roundtable!(2:50) Why Jason invested in Sparkplug(6:44) How Ford Smith got into Cannabis investing — is it Cannabis a good investment?(11:40) Gusto - Check out the online payroll and benefits experts with software built specifically for small business and startups.

This episode explores how true confidence is built through self-trust, mindset shifts, and leading with belief, especially when titles, validation, and certainty fall away. Guest Anya Cheng is the founder and CEO of Taeler, an AI platform that uses AI to help men choose outfits, and rent them. Having led teams at big brands such as Target, Facebook, eBay, McDonald's, she's a Mentor at ‘500 Startups', Lecturer at Northwestern University, author and a TED speaker. 5 key takeaways: Confidence isn't constant, it grows when you trust your own perspective, not a script or title. Losing external validation can become a powerful catalyst for authentic leadership. Shifting language from “I should” to “I would like to” builds motivation and self-trust. Imposter syndrome appears at every level, and it's most powerful when left unchecked. The most sustainable success comes from building work aligned with what you genuinely care about.

Episode 1947: Mike Smerklo breaks down the frenzy of tech investing in Silicon Valley, warning against the dangers of FOMO-fueled decision-making. While celebrating innovation's exciting momentum, he urges entrepreneurs, investors, and executives to balance ambition with realism, especially as inflated valuations hint at another bursting bubble. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.mikesmerklo.com/a-new-startup-called-fomoshould-i-invest-in-it/ Quotes to ponder: "FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out, a mindset that can be just as dangerous as a forest fire on a dry summer day." "Be greedy when others are fearful. Be fearful when others are being greedy." "Failing to recognize the risk is just as dangerous for investors as it is for those who start the startups and those who go to work for them."

In this powerful episode of Inspire to Lead, host Talia Mic sits down with Adina Kamkhatchi, founder of Adina Eden jewelry, for an intimate conversation about building a multimillion-dollar business from scratch, overcoming adversity, and staying true to your values. Adina shares her remarkable journey from being a bullied, overweight teenager with $100 in babysitting money to creating one of the most successful fine jewelry brands, now sold in Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and Revolve. She opens up about her struggles with infertility, the sacrifices behind her success, and why she chose to publicly stand with Israel after October 7th—even at the risk of losing followers and customers. This is a story about resilience, faith, family business, and building a legacy that matters. [1:49] - The origin story: Why jewelry?

A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Adina built her business from nothing—starting by hand-making jewelry in her parents' basement and leveraging Instagram before it became a business platform. Today, Adina Eden is a multimillion-dollar company known for its dainty, personalized pieces and unwavering support for Israel. A first-generation college graduate from the Syrian-American community in Brooklyn, Adina is also a proud mother of twins and an advocate for infertility awareness.

Carlos Diaz, c'est l'histoire d'un entrepreneur français qui a compris très tôt que le jeu n'était pas le même selon le terrain. Tout commence à Limoges en 1997, quand il crée avec son frère Manuel une agence digitale totalement improbable, à une époque où Internet n'était encore qu'un bricolage pour initiés. Ils travaillent depuis la province, mais leurs clients sont déjà à Paris et l'un des plus importants leur confie même toute sa stratégie digitale, en France comme à l'international. Très vite, Carlos plonge dans la première vague tech : le web dynamique, le SaaS, le cloud et même un réseau social d'entreprise avant que Slack n'existe ! Mais en France, personne ne comprend. Les usages sont figés, l'ambition dérange, la prise de risque fait peur. Alors en 2010, Carlos traverse l'Atlantique pour les États-Unis avec femme et enfant. Ce qui devait être une parenthèse de 2 ans devient une immersion totale. Quinze ans plus tard, il vit toujours là-bas. Pendant toutes ces années, Carlos a décortiqué l'Amérique de l'intérieur : sa culture du dépassement, son obsession du business, son rapport décomplexé à l'argent. Cette mentalité du « All-in » permanent où tout peut exploser ou s'effondrer. Entrepreneur, il devient aussi VC, investit dans 57 startups et observe de près ceux qui tiennent le choc et ceux qui repartent, brisés par le choc culturel. Il voit les États-Unis aspirer les talents, les ambitions, les financements. Et il comprend que la réussite ici n'est pas qu'une question d'idée, mais de système, d'énergie, de brutalité aussi. Aujourd'hui, avec son podcast Silicon Carne, il construit un média devenu un vrai business, suivi par une audience ultra qualifiée de décideurs français. Un échange fascinant, brut, lucide avec un entrepreneur passionnant et passionné. Bonne écoute !===========================

Il y a 2 ans, Benjamin Védrines a frôlé la mort. Dans l'ascension du K2 — souvent considérée comme la montagne la plus dangereuse du monde — son cerveau se met en pause. Victime d'une hypoxie sévère, il est d'abord laissé pour mort avant d'être secouru puis redescendu au camp de base. Pourtant Benjamin n'est pas un alpiniste comme les autres. Il est ce qu'on appelle un “puriste”, parmi les derniers adeptes du style alpin et de ses 3 grands principes : pas de cordes fixes, pas d'oxygène, pas de porteurs.Installé à Briançon, il tombe dès l'enfance accro à la liberté que lui offre la montagne, et se met en quête de ses recoins les plus inaccessibles. À l'obtention de son diplôme de guide de haute montagne, il commence à emmener des clients au sommet du Mont-Blanc pour financer ses propres expéditions partout dans le monde. Mais tout bascule en 2022 quand il signe son premier contrat avec The North Face. Benjamin peut enfin se consacrer à ce qui l'anime le plus, révélant ainsi ses 2 personnalités d'alpiniste bien distinctes : l'explorateur en quête de nouvelles voies à “ouvrir” et le compétiteur qui tente de battre des records sur des pics déjà conquis.Alors que l'adoption massive du style himalayen a ouvert les sommets de plus de 8000m d'altitude au grand public, Benjamin continue de revendiquer son style alpin, de plus en plus rare sur les sommets, et aussi bien plus risqué. Bienvenue dans la tête d'un homme qui, malgré les dangers, les coéquipiers perdus et plusieurs baisers avec la mort, n'a jamais perdu sa passion dévorante pour la montagne.Vous pouvez suivre les aventures de Benjamin sur son compte Instagram et sa chaîne YouTube.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : “L'alpinisme n'est pas un sport mais un art de vivre”00:13:23 : Attiré par les chronos depuis tout petit00:22:44 : “Ce jour-là, j'ai failli y passer”00:32:03 : Le déroulé classique d'une expédition00:45:21 : Renaître grâce à une prise de risque consciente00:56:21 : Starlink, oxygène, drones : la fin du “vrai” alpinisme ?01:12:06 : Gravir l'Everest en style alpin pour entrer dans l'histoire01:20:52 : Pourquoi le K2 tue beaucoup plus que l'Everest01:29:18 : “Être à 8000 m d'altitude, c'est déjà être blessé”01:37:01 : Tenter d'ouvrir une voie qui a tué 14 personnes01:46:51 : Comment financer une expédition02:02:53 : Les meilleures randonnées pour s'initier à l'alpinisme en France02:12:18 : Le bijou technologique conçu spécialement pour Benjamin02:18:13 : “La peine d'aujourd'hui sera ta force de demain”Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #272 - Mike Horn - Aventurier-Explorateur - Poser un cadre pour vivre libre#178 - Kilian Jornet - Alpinisme & Ultratrail - L'objectif c'est de progresser#182 - Anaëlle Malherbe - INSEP - La préparation mentale pour exceller#185 - Frédéric Jousset - Webhelp & Art Explora - La vie en FastPass#425 - Matthias Dandois - Champion de BMX - La vie freestyle d'un enfant Red BullNous avons parlé de :L'EmbrunmanNotre documentaire “Le GR20 en 7 jours”La chaîne YouTube de Benjamin (que des vidéos / films exceptionnels)Analyse de l'avalanche dans laquelle Benjamin a été prisFabien Dupuis, le préparateur mental de BenjaminLe GR10, la grande traversée des PyrénéesL'ascension périlleuse du Jannu Est décryptée par BenjaminLionel Daudet ne « voulait pas faire le solo de trop »Thibaut Marot, le photographe qui accompagne Benjamin sur ses expéditionsSeb Montaz, acolyte et caméraman principal de BenjaminLes chaussures personnalisées de Benjamin pour ses ascensionsLes recommandations de lecture :Conduites à risque - David Le BretonBiographie de Patrick Berhault – Virtuose de l'altitudeVous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

This episode is our third and final installment of a special, three-part Reid Riffs miniseries focused on what it actually means to become AI-native. In this episode, Parth shares how founders can rethink work by breaking problems into modular pieces, orchestrating AI agents in parallel, and collapsing timelines that once required entire teams days of iteration. Using real-world examples like coding agents that tackle week-long engineering challenges to reimagining how content can be localized across languages and regional markets, the conversation explores how AI enables small teams to operate with outsized leverage. Along the way, Reid and Parth discuss what separates real AI traction from “AI theater,” how founding teams are evolving, and why the most powerful AI often works best when it fades into the background, quietly amplifying human creativity and ambition.

Starting a tech company sounds exciting: autonomy, upside, the chance to build something meaningful. The reality is tougher.

She breaks down why the path isn't right for most people, what founders underestimate, and the traits that actually predict long-term success. In this episode, you will hear: Why building a tech startup is far more brutal than most founders admit How to know if you're genuinely built for uncertainty, rejection, and pressure The hidden lifestyle tradeoffs that make many founders quit too early How to decide if tech entrepreneurship is your path — or a costly mistake Resources from this Episode Free AI Mini-Workshop for Non-Technical Founders Learn how to go from idea to a tested product using AI — in under 30 minutes.

In this episode of Chaos to Clarity, Eric Weiss sits down with Misti Cain, the Managing Director of Techstars San Diego powered by SDSU, to unpack what makes this accelerator one of the most selective and impactful pre-seed programs in the world. With more than 1,300 applicants and only six companies selected, Techstars San Diego represents the highest caliber of early-stage founders building across industries, technologies, and geographies. Misti shares why this year's cohort is different. These founders aren't just experimenting. They're arriving with deep domain expertise, early traction, paying customers, and bold visions that span everything from biotech document automation to haptic wearables for the blind to AI compliance for regulated industries. The diversity of ideas is matched only by the diversity of founders — spanning San Diego, Mexico, Canada, Paris, New York, Florida, and more. A major advantage of the program comes from the partnership between Techstars and San Diego State University. Startups gain access to engineering support, prototyping labs, specialized testing, interns, and warm introductions to key university resources. Misti explains why this ecosystem collaboration creates an environment where founders can achieve more in 90 days than most can do in a year. The conversation also explores Misti's personal journey: from digital marketing strategist, to startup consultant, to award-winning Techstars mentor, to investor, and now Managing Director. Her story highlights the importance of curiosity, lifelong learning, and the power of giving first — a philosophy that sits at the heart of the Techstars culture. Eric and Misti close by zooming out to discuss the San Diego startup ecosystem, why it offers a uniquely collaborative environment, and why founders from all over the world are beginning to choose San Diego as their home base. This episode is a deep dive into community, innovation, leadership, and what it truly takes to build a successful company.

When an organisation has lots of moving parts, coordination becomes a competitive advantage. Divisional rivalries, egos, "not invented here," and personal competition can quietly shred performance, while external shocks—regulatory changes, competitor M&A, natural disasters, and market movements—keep landing on your desk. The leader's job is to create solid alignment between what the company needs and what individuals actually do every day.  What is performance alignment and why does it matter in 2025-era organisations? Performance alignment is the tight fit between company direction and individual behaviour so the business operates like one smooth machine. Without alignment, internal friction beats you before the market does—teams compete instead of coordinate, priorities conflict, and effort gets wasted on "busy work" that looks active but doesn't move results. In post-pandemic business (2020–2025), this got harder: hybrid work increased miscommunication, supply chains became less predictable, and regulation shifts plus competitor consolidation raised complexity. In Japan, alignment can be strong once decisions land, but slower if consensus and cross-division coordination drags. In the US, execution can be fast, but priorities can splinter if each function runs its own agenda. In multinationals, the "moving parts" problem is amplified; in SMEs, a single misalignment can derail the whole plan. Do now: Write the one-line "main game" for this quarter and check every team goal against it.  How do vision and mission create alignment across divisions and teams? Vision and mission align performance by clarifying where you're going and what you will (and won't) do to get there. Vision is the window to a brighter future and the goals for where you want to be—and there's usually a macro company vision plus a unit-level vision that translates strategy into local execution. When teams can "juxtapose" their contribution to the enterprise vision, motivation rises because people can see how their work matters. Mission then adds operational clarity by defining purpose and boundaries, preventing scattergun activity. This is where big organisations often win: leaders at firms like Toyota or Unilever typically cascade strategy into unit-level execution targets; startups do it faster, but sometimes leave it implicit, which can cause drift as the company scales. Do now: Rewrite your unit vision in one sentence that shows exactly how it supports the enterprise vision.  How do shared values drive engagement and commitment (especially across cultures)? Shared values align performance because they act as the cultural glue that keeps behaviour consistent under pressure. Values aren't posters—they're the rules of the road for how decisions get made, how conflict gets handled, and what "good" looks like when nobody is watching. The hard truth is the personal value spectrum is extremely varied, so alignment doesn't happen by accident. Leaders have to make values explicit, visible, and reinforced through recognition and consequences. In Japan, values often support harmony and consistency, but can also discourage constructive challenge if not balanced. In the US, values may champion individual initiative, but can turn into silos if each team's "value" becomes their private religion. In both contexts, values determine whether people truly commit or just comply. Do now: Pick 3 values and define the observable behaviours that prove each one in meetings, customer work, and decision-making.  What is a position goal and how does it motivate teams to perform? A position goal aligns performance by giving teams a clear competitive target: where do we want to rank? That could mean market share dominance, profitability leadership, or rapid growth—inside your industry, sector, or even within your own global organisation. This is powerful because many teams feel isolated and assume their work doesn't make much difference. A visible ranking goal (top ten by revenue, number one in customer retention, highest NPS in the region) turns effort into identity and recognition. In large enterprises, position goals can be highly motivating because teams can see how they compare globally. In SMEs, position goals should be chosen carefully—too grand and they feel fake; too small and they don't inspire. Consumer sectors may chase share; B2B may prioritise margin and renewal stability. Do now: Choose one position goal for 2026 and define the single metric that proves it.  How do KRAs, standards, and activities translate strategy into daily execution? KRAs, standards, and activities align performance by turning "strategy" into measurable work that gets done consistently. Key Result Areas (KRAs) identify where results must be achieved and what matters most; constant measurement and broadcasting keeps focus. Performance standards then create objectivity—use frameworks like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-specific) so everyone knows what "good" looks like. Finally, required activities must directly produce the desired outcomes; otherwise, you collect "barnacles" of superfluous tasks that slow the ship. In Japan, standards can be strong and consistent, but activity lists can grow bloated if nobody challenges legacy tasks. In the US, activity can be energetic, but standards can vary if not enforced. Do now: List your top 3 KRAs, define one standard for each, and delete one "busy work" activity that doesn't support them.  How do skills audits and results reviews keep alignment strong over time? Skills and results close the alignment loop by ensuring the team can perform—and learning whether the system worked. A skills audit tells you if the team has the capacity to achieve the goals, what training/coaching is required, and whether you need new talent. The article notes that changing personnel can be difficult and expensive in Japan, which makes skill-building and coaching even more critical. Results then answer the leadership questions: did we achieve what we set out to do, what was the quality, and what did we learn? Even failure can be a learning experience that makes the next cycle stronger. Startups can iterate faster with shorter review loops; multinationals may need quarterly or annual alignment reviews, but should still build in regular check-ins. Do now: Run a quarterly skills audit + results review: capability gaps, coaching plan, and 3 lessons to apply next quarter.  Conclusion Performance alignment is not "soft culture work"—it's a hard business system that prevents friction, wasted effort, and internal competition from destroying results. The eight elements—vision/mission, values, position goal, KRAs, standards, activities, skills, and results—work like a checklist leaders can use to keep the main game in sight, even when emergencies and meltdowns try to hijack attention.  Next steps for leaders and executives Re-state the unit vision and mission in execution language.  Choose one position goal and one proving metric.  Set KRAs + standards, then strip out "barnacle" activities.  Audit skills and lock in coaching or hiring actions.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

The NFL is nearly synonymous with America today. Practically nothing is more quintessentially and universally American than tuning in every Sunday (and Monday, and Thursday… and sometimes Saturdays and holidays too) to watch the world's most beautiful ballet of violence. It generates the most revenue of any sports league globally and sets new records for team valuations each year. But it wasn't always this way.The history of the NFL mirrors America's own development: scrappy small-town teams rode the successive growth waves of the automobile, TV, the Internet and social media to grow larger than the even the founders' wildest dreams. Whether you watch football or not, the NFL is one incredible business story, and one that we've taken more lessons from over the years for Acquired itself than perhaps any other episode we've made.Note: This is a remastered release of our original January 2023 episode, updated to today's Acquired production standards. It also features a full hour+ followup section at the end covering the seismic shifts in the NFL's business since the original episode's release. Much has happened in those three years: Taylor Swift entered the league (via merger
