With half of all venture funding now flowing to AI-native companies and seed deals at a six-year low, the startup playbook has fundamentally changed.

For most business owners, rewarding employees for doing their jobs well is just common sense. Hit your numbers, get a bonus. Sell more, earn more. Perform better, get paid more. That's how motivation works…right?This week, management consultant Kelly Allan asks owners to reconsider that assumption. Allan is steeped in the teachings of W. Edwards Deming, the management thinker widely credited with inspiring Japan's post–World War II industrial revival. Deming argued that pay-for-performance systems don't actually improve performance. Instead, they create unintended consequences—encouraging people to chase metrics, compete with colleagues, and optimize the wrong things.In Deming's view—and in Allan's—performance isn't primarily about individuals at all. It's about the system they work in. In our conversation, Kelly explains why incentives often backfire and how owners who are curious can begin experimenting with a different approach.

Amy Webb, futurist and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group, held a funeral for her famous annual trend report at SXSW this year. She explains to host Jeff Berman why convergences are the new critical unit of change instead. Webb says leaders must stop being distracted by "the shiny" and learn to prepare for the disruption of convergences.Link to the Convergence Outlook: https://ftsg.com/convergence/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back into the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, where Garret Price is joined by Jagger May for a fast paced Superflex tight end premium startup mock with a third round reversal, and rookie picks included. The twist is simple. With only 30 seconds per selection, the guys are forced to make decisions in real time, react to ADP surprises, and explain how to stay flexible instead of drafting by a rigid script. The biggest takeaway is the “play jazz” approach. Take what the board gives you, collect value, and do not force positions early. The room flies through elite anchors like Bijan Robinson and Josh Allen, then shifts into a debate over whether it is smarter to chase early quarterback security or lock in high end wide receiver scoring like CeeDee Lamb and Garrett Wilson. As the draft gets deeper, the focus turns to win now builds and exploiting ADP pockets, including veterans like Baker Mayfield, Michael Pittman Jr., Davante Adams, and Mark Andrews. It is a real look at how contenders are built in March, and why the best drafters stay patient, then strike when the board makes a mistake. 00:00 Start 01:38 Round 1 04:05 Round 2 07:00 Round 3 10:37 Round 4 13:00 Round 5 16:20 Round 6 19:47 Round 7 22:47 Round 8 25:44 FFPC 26:53 Round 9 29:20 Round 10 31:24 Round 11 34:17 Round 12 36:26 Round 13 38:53 Round 14 Start Using the Film Room Today!

Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSScast! CHAOSScast – Episode 130 In this CHAOSScast episode, host introduces Rowland Mosbergen, a research software engineer at Australia's WEHI, and discusses experiences in CHAOSS Asia and open source community connections. Rowland compares research labs to startups and explains that CHAOSS Asia's regular online meetings help him engage with the broader open source ecosystem despite not traveling to conferences. They mention tools like the OSC DB directory for finding communities and discuss how Chaos Asia helps share events and CFPs. Rowland describes his “practical diversity and inclusion” approach: embedding inclusion into processes by centering marginalized people, sharing power, creating safe spaces, and offering online, non-exploitative open source internships that assess achievement relative to opportunity. He also describes organizing Research Software Asia Australia (RSAA 26) and supporting new Research Software Africa and Latino America conferences through shared documentation and a large, flexible volunteer committee to prevent burnout.

It's already been quite a decade for owners: a pandemic, inflation, tariffs, and now, suddenly, war with Iran—bringing with it the biggest spike in oil prices ever. And looming over everything is the still-uncertain impact of artificial intelligence. This week, David C. Barnett, Jay Goltz, and Ted Wolf talk about how all that uncertainty is shaping the decisions owners are making right now—from whether it's wise to invest in new equipment to how some lenders are demanding that would-be borrowers articulate their AI strategy before obtaining a loan.The implications of all of this vary by industry, but Dave says some sectors suddenly look a lot riskier than they did a year ago. “I don't know if I'd want to get a 90-percent loan to buy a marketing agency today,” he says. At the same time, the economics of AI could push owners to move faster than they might otherwise. As Dave notes, if a $10,000 or $20,000 investment in AI can quickly replace two positions, that's the kind of return many owners will find hard to ignore when expenses are rising.Along the way, the three discuss why periods like this can also create unexpected opportunities. Keep your eyes open, Dave advises. “A lot of those opportunities may come from a competitor stumbling.”Plus: what happens when business owners suddenly realize they should have been collecting sales tax all along. Do you pay the back taxes yourself? Start collecting now and hope for the best? Or is there a smarter way to fix the problem?

How many engineers does it take to run the ecommerce site for a retail company that does over a billion dollars in revenue per year? Well, if you're Rainbow Shops, the answer is just 2. Most ecommerce teams assume scale requires more engineers, more tools, more complexity. Chief Digital Officer David Cost has built something many people in ecommerce would say isn't possible — a lean, fast-moving digital operation that runs on vendor partnerships instead of a massive internal team. Two engineers, hundreds of programmers' worth of output, and none of the overhead that comes with scaling the traditional way. In this episode, David shares: A detailed, under-the-hood look at the specific vendors they use to stay so lean His playbook for using strategic partnerships with vendors as an external dev team How being a testbed for new tech gives them a competitive edge And why their choice of ecommerce platform was vital in enabling Rainbow's digital strategy Links David's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcost/ Rainbow Shops: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rainbow-apparel-co/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:42 David's product journey 02:36 How Rainbow runs with only two engineers 03:07 Rainbow's decision to migrate from  Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify 07:14 How Rainbow uses AI to support a lean team 11:34 Rainbow's partnership with Lica for AI-generated product images 17:25 The future of personalization in ecommerce 23:01 Shop Pay and Rainbow's checkout features 26:15 Conclusion Resoures Lica: https://lica.world/ Fuego: https://fuego.io/ Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's fascination with brain health and human psychology began with a personal question: why do people perceive the same world so differently? After growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia, she dedicated her life to understanding the brain. At age 37, she suffered a massive stroke and watched her brain shut down in real time. That experience gave her rare insight into how the brain truly works. In this episode, Dr. Jill shares her whole-brain framework and explains how understanding our four brain characters can transform how we think, feel, and show up in life and business. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Jill will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:51) Childhood Curiosity About the Human Brain (10:14) Experiencing a Stroke at Age 37 (20:38) Warning Signs and Prevention of Stroke (25:13) Watching Her Brain Shut Down (33:45) The Four Brain Characters (44:05) Debunking Left vs. Right Brain Myths (51:19) Whole-Brain Thinking for Entrepreneurs (53:57) Why Society Is Left-Brain Dominant (1:04:24) Can You Control Your Brain?

She is the national spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center and is best known for her 2008 TED Talk and memoir, My Stroke of Insight.

SummaryIn the latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, hosts Daniel Koonce and Grant Boston sit down with real estate mogul Ari Rastegar, founder and CEO of Rastegar Capital, to discuss entrepreneurship, investing, and the value of failure. Calling in from Austin, Texas, Ari Rastegar shares his journey from law school student to head of a multi-billion dollar real estate firm, including the pivotal moments, such as a multi-million dollar entertainment company undone by a freak ice storm.Throughout the episode, Ari emphasizes the importance of relentless energy, expansive learning, and the humility to embrace setbacks. He encourages would-be entrepreneurs to "learn before you do anything," pushing listeners to leverage the abundance of resources available today, from podcasts to YouTube, before risking their own or others' capital. He also highlights how failures can be one's greatest teachers, sharing stories from his own career and the insights they provided about planning for the “unplannable.”Notably, Ari discusses the deep importance of health—mental, physical, and spiritual—for sustaining long-term success. He suggests that taking care of oneself is the essential first step to building impactful teams, businesses, and communities.For anyone navigating the rollercoaster of startup life, this episode serves as both a playbook and a pep talk, packed with actionable advice and candid wisdom from someone who has truly failed forward.

James talks about the difficult moments of humility, self-doubt, and rebuilding, while also revealing the resilience and determination that pushed him to keep moving forward. Rather than letting failure define his story, he used it as fuel to rise again.The conversations happening on Founders Only are the ones every entrepreneur needs to hear. Don't be the last to know.

In this first part of what became a two-part conversation, we sat down with anesthesia provider Charles Miller from Scenic City Neurotherapy for a discussion that challenged so many assumptions about ketamine therapy.Charles presents what he calls the "collective lie" in ketamine therapy - the argument that the obsession with psychedelic experiences and mystical insights for a growing segment of providers in our industry is not just misguided, but actually making our patients worse. He walks through the neurobiological evidence showing that the real therapeutic action happens days after treatment during the neuroplasticity window, not during those profound moments when patients feel like they're talking to God or having life-changing realizations.You'll hear Charles critique the research methodologies that seem to support ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, explaining why group averages can mask poor individual outcomes and why the frequently cited KAP studies may actually show lower success rates than standard ketamine protocols. He also shares refreshingly honest advice about starting a clinic - including his decision to open with folding chairs rather than go into debt for impressive furniture.We're also trying something new with this episode: audio sidebars. As we talk, we'll pause to provide additional context about complex concepts like psychoplastogens, research study limitations, and the cutting-edge science behind separating therapeutic effects from psychedelic experiences. Think of these as educational moments designed to help you fully understand and enjoy the episode.This conversation will make you question whether the approaches many of us have been using actually serve our patients - or if we've been chasing the wrong mechanisms entirely.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Charles's entrepreneurial journey - How he started Scenic City Neurotherapy with minimal capital and his advice for keeping overhead low during startup· The "collective lie" concept - Why Charles believes the field's emphasis on ketamine experiences actually reduces treatment success rates· Neuroplasticity mechanisms - Detailed explanation of the NMDA-glutamate-BDNF pathway and why the therapeutic window occurs after, not during, ketamine administration· Psychoplastogens vs psychedelics - Understanding David E. Olson's groundbreaking research on compounds that promote neuroplasticity without hallucinogenic effects· Research methodology critique - Analysis of popular KAP studies and why methodological flaws may be masking poor individual patient outcomes· Evidence-based positioning - How to counter the "ketamine is just anesthesia" criticism with solid neurobiological science· Experience vs neuroplasticity - Why Charles argues that focusing on insights and visions during treatment may be counterproductiveKey Takeaways· Ketamine may function primarily as a psychoplastogen rather than a classic psychedelic, blocking NMDA receptors to trigger neuroplasticity cascades instead of flooding serotonin receptors like traditional psychedelics· The therapeutic neuroplasticity window occur days to weeks after ketamine administration, when BDNF-driven synaptic remodeling takes place, not necessarily during the acute dissociative experience· Research comparing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to standard protocols could show mixed results, with some studies reporting lower individual response rates despite promising group averages· Providers who overfocus on experiential components during treatment may inadvertently create performance pressure that could reduce patient outcomes and increase perceived treatment failure rates· Startup ketamine clinics might benefit from beginning embarrassingly small with minimal overhead, focusing resources on essential clinical equipment rather than impressive lobbies or furniture· David E. Olson's psychoplastogen research suggests that neuroplastic benefits might be separable from psychedelic experiences, supporting approaches that prioritize physiological mechanisms over experiential componentsEpisode 52 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: When Patients Feel They Failed00:00:17 - Introduction and Episode Setup00:02:06 - Charles's Journey into Ketamine Therapy00:04:30 - The Entrepreneurial Leap00:06:00 - Startup Advice: Think Embarrassingly Small00:08:30 - Evolution of the Ketamine Field00:10:00 - The "Collective Lie" Concept Introduction00:12:30 - Neurobiological Mechanisms00:16:30 - Psychoplastogens vs. Psychedelics00:24:00 - David E.

It does in this sense, says Victor Hwang, founder of Right to Start, an advocacy group that works to expand entrepreneurial opportunity: While starting a business can be daunting, many Americans assume it's even more daunting than it actually is. For six years, Victor and his organization have tried to address that concern by removing barriers to entry and spreading awareness of entrepreneurial opportunities. In this episode, Victor discusses the progress Right to Start has made, including significant recent steps in Oklahoma. He also has big plans for the 250th celebration of what he likes to call America's startup.

Fossil fuels are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for nearly 90 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. But there are people here in Minnesota working on solutions for managing those emissions.MPR News chief meteorologist Paul Huttner spoke with Paul Dauenhauer, a Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the UM College of Science and Engineering, about the start-up company Carba, of which he is a cofounder.Through Carba, they have developed a proprietary process that converts plant-based waste material into biochar, a stable material that sequesters carbon and can be buried underground for more than 1,000 years

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 15 of Start-Up, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Bae Suzy as Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo-hyuk as Nam Do-san, Kim Seon-ho as Han Ji-pyeong, Kang Han-na as Won In-jae, and Kim Hae-sook as Choi Won-deok. We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: “Love Me Like You Used To” by Kassy, “Regret Will Remain the Reason” by Park Sejun and Kim Minji, and “A Story I Couldn't Tell You” by Lee Nyeom. Joanna's new weekly music spotlight: “We Pray” by Coldplay and TWICE, and why the many versions of the song with artists from around the world feel so moving and distinctive. Why Episode 15 feels like the emotional turning point of the love story, with Joanna celebrating that her guy finally got the girl and Sung Hee noting that one final twist may still remain. The meaning of “MVP,” or minimum viable product, and a rich discussion of product development, early adopters, speed to market, client validation, and the tension between ambition and practicality in startup life. The autonomous driving permit test for Tarzan, including the smart city opportunity in Seonju, the threat posed by Morning AI, and the real-world problem of phantom braking. Why the Seonju smart city bid is such a huge decision for Cheong Myeong Company, with Seo Dal-mi torn between caution and ambition, Han Ji-pyeong urging restraint, and Nam Do-san arguing that sometimes you have to sail off without a map. The contrast between Ji-pyeong and Do-san's life experiences, especially how risk, failure, family support, and survival shaped their very different views of success and why Do-san believes you pass failure on the way to success. Seo Dal-mi's growth as a CEO: more seasoned, more measured, more collaborative, and less impulsive after the damage caused by the 2STO deal. The drunken and deeply revealing night between Han Ji-pyeong and Nam Do-san, including the truth about the letters, Do-san's insecurity, Ji-pyeong's envy of Do-san's family, and Ji-pyeong's painful decision to step aside after realizing where Dal-mi's heart truly lies. Why Han Ji-pyeong became such a powerful second lead, including a discussion of second lead syndrome, Kim Seon-ho's especially expressive performance, and the internet-wide Team Do-san vs. Team Ji-pyeong debate. Do-san's moving confession to Dal-mi that he wanted to be her trophy, pride, dream, comfort, and wings, and why his dream was always tied to becoming the person she believed he could be. The looming threat at the end of the episode: Morning AI weaponizing the press around the ransomware attack just as Cheong Myeong prepares its smart city bid, plus the hosts' conversation about AI's real-world impact on jobs, recent graduates, automation, and the future of work.

Greetings from SXSW, where I'm learning, recording, and eating... You'll hear all about it soon... For now, enjoy this short, sweet, and geeky bonus episode.Have you seen that weird graph about all the jobs that AI is going to kill? It looks like an ink blot or a Rorschach test... It's from an Anthropic report and it's really making the rounds. If you follow tech stuff on social media you've probably seen it. The report is interested, but I'm convinced people are only sharing it because the graph looks cool and people will think they're smart if they share this inscrutable data visualization... Anyway, here's a very short excerpt of my upcoming interview with Paul Ford (@ftrain), one of my favorite tech writers and the founder of Aboard. He and I took a break from talking AI and such to geek out on this data visualization and why it's so bad, plus I told him about how I used AI to make my own version of a radar graph (about how many, and which kinds of, tacos I will and could theoretically eat in Austin). ---Subscribe to the Future Around & Find Out newsletter!

Noah Jackson and  AJ Wadian — the Co-Founders of Premier Home ProsLaunched in December 2022 with just $65,000 of their own capital and a decision made around a dinner table, Premier Home Pros has scaled from zero to more than $150 million in annual gross sales in just three years — surpassing $100 million in under 24 months — all without raising a single dollar of outside capital. Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, Premier now operates across 14 states and continues to expand at a pace that few companies in any industry achieve.In our conversation, Noah and AJ walk through the entire evolution of the business from doing over half a million dollars in sales in their first month — and the relentless execution required to turn early momentum into a scalable, multi-state operation. We talk about what it really means to build the plane while flying it, the mistakes they've made along the way, why bathrooms are far more complex than they appear, and how process, data, and elite talent compound when aligned correctly.We also explore their leadership evolution — how the business at times has grown faster than the people, what it takes to lead from the front, how they disagree productively as partners, and why Northeast Ohio remains home even as the company becomes increasingly national.This is a conversation about ambition, resilience, systems, and building something enduring — right here in northeast Ohio.Noah and AJ are operating at a level of demonstrated performance, intensity, and conviction that is rare and admirable — I took a lot away from their ambition and focus and and hope you all enjoy our conversation.00:00 The Ambitious Journey Begins08:34 Navigating Challenges and Learning from Mistakes29:02 Leadership Evolution in a Rapidly Growing Company37:52 Understanding the Bathroom Industry's Challenges40:57 Innovation and Trends in Bathroom Design43:22 Evolving Motivations and Definitions of Success48:54 Building a Business in Northeast Ohio52:31 Hidden Gems of Northeast Ohio-----LINKS:Noah Jackson: njackson@premier-homepros.comAugustine Wadian: awadian@premier-homepros.comhttps://premier-homepros.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aj-w-2815a6177/https://www.linkedin.com/in/njackson1005/-----SPONSOR:Cerity PartnersCerity Partners, a full-service investment and wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.
