Podcasts about startups

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Chris Green of The Practice Launchpad and Justin “JJ” Ditkofsky of WeCare to talk about all things dental startups—from the earliest planning stages to scaling for long-term success. The trio dives deep into the real-world challenges dentists face when launching a practice, including costly lease mistakes, undersized offices, decision fatigue, and lack of future scalability.   JJ shares wild personal stories (including why he's podcasting from his backyard), real estate insights from Frisco, Texas to Tribeca, and what separates a smart startup from a money pit. Chris outlines his proven three-phase approach to launching and optimizing a startup, while Mark breaks down why thinking like a CEO from day one is critical. Plus, they announce a free live event in NYC on September 18, 2025, for dentists considering startups—complete with networking, lectures, and champagne.  Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

Arrancamos con cómo la política industrial está moviendo el mercado: subsidios, el rol del Estado en semis (Intel/Nvidia) y por qué “el mercado festeja” ciertos anuncios. Entramos en la frontera gris entre política y finanzas con el caso Nancy Pelosi y los “trackers” que siguen sus trades. De ahí pasamos a una startup que conecta data scientists con modelos de inversión (quant para todos) y, sobre todo, nos metemos a fondo en un playbook práctico para idear y validar productos de IA: de “prompt → acción”, gestión de catálogos para e-commerce, cómo definir tu ICP, hacer research que sirva y aterrizar todo en un memo accionable. Cambiamos de frente hacia educación y hábitos: caída de la lectura por placer, “dream schools” y la oportunidad de crear propuestas más rápidas y alineadas al mundo real. Cerramos con economía del tiempo y del lujo: brokers de entradas premium, concierges, el valor de evitar fricción y cómo cambia el mindset cuando optimizás por tiempo en vez de precio.Capítulos 00:00:00 — Mercado y política industrial: Intel/Nvidia, subsidios y por qué “el mercado celebra”.00:07:00 — Política y mercados: el caso Nancy Pelosi y los “Pelosi trackers”.00:10:00 — Quant para todos: plataforma que conecta modelos de inversión con capital.00:15:00 — Playbook IA (parte 1): frameworks personales para idear con IA.00:16:00 — Prompt → Acción: casos de uso y “text-to-action” aplicado.00:18:00 — IA en e-commerce: catálogo, reglas y automatización que sí mueven la aguja.00:20:00 — Definir ICP y problema: cómo elegir a quién venderle y qué duele en serio.00:22:00 — Research que sirve: fuentes, señales y cómo no comerse el marketing de vendors.00:26:00 — Las 5 vías para idear: recap de enfoques + cómo bajarlo a un proceso.00:28:00 — Del idea al memo: estructurar y priorizar antes de construir.00:30:00 — Educación y lectura: caída del hábito, brechas y “dream schools”.00:37:00 — Oportunidad en educación: velocidad vs. currículas tradicionales.00:39:00 — Valorar el tiempo: anécdotas de viajes, atajos y decisiones de costo/beneficio.00:41:00 — Brokers y precios “sin clearing”: entradas premium, slots y logística.00:42:00 — Concierges y lujo funcional: pagar por eliminar fricción.00:46:00 — Mindset & cierre: cambiar la cabeza para optimizar por tiempo; sponsors.__Links del episodio:Pelosi Tracker: https://x.com/PelosiTrackerNumer: https://numer.ai/LLMs: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jason-salt_llm-investor-network-activity-7365802204437368832-jL2L/__Tenes alguna pregunta?

“Si tu fais mourir tes sols, tu n'as plus de yaourt demain, donc tu n'as plus de dividendes demain.”Notre planète est dans l'impasse et notre industrie aussi.Selon l'un des plus grands ex-patron du CAC40 et aujourd'hui l'un des activistes avec le plus d'impact au monde.Arrivé au comité exécutif de Danone à 29 ans, Emmanuel Faber reste 30 ans dans le groupe et lance des politiques audacieuses sur le plan social comme écologique.Aujourd'hui il a rejoint les institutions internationales engagées pour le climat avec une approche pragmatique : le changement ne peut tenir que s'il est soutenu par des intérêts économiques. Et il rappelle une donnée choc : avec seulement 1% des capitaux mondiaux, la transition énergétique et alimentaire est à notre portée.Et pour ça, il faut créer une compétitivité écologique et sociale avec ce nouveau système qu'Emmanuel participe à construire.Déjà chez Danone durant la restructuration, il avait choisi de protéger les 20% les moins payés — ce qui ne revenait pas plus cher que de couper dans les gros salaires.Il a d'ailleurs reversé son propre salaire de PDG à des associations.Obsédé depuis toujours par l'altérité, il a également passé du temps à la rencontre des plus démunis allant jusque dans les bidonvilles, les mouroirs et au cœur des campagnes du Bangladesh.Dans cet épisode, Emmanuel commence par décrypter les rouages de la macroéconomie mondiale — les normes qui seront bientôt appliquées et les institutions clefs de la comptabilité de demain.Puis il partage ses anecdotes les plus marquantes, et les clés applicables par tous pour éviter la catastrophe qui s'annonce.Entre chefs d'États, dirigeants de multinationales et ONG, Emmanuel Faber pilote les prochaines politiques et de la transformation à venir de l'économie mondiale.À écouter impérativement pour se préparer au mieux et comprendre les dessous de l'économie globale.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Les coulisses des Forums mondiaux00:16:09 : L'altérité comme nécessité existentielle00:22:27 : Aller jusque dans les bidonvilles et les mouroirs pour répondre à une question : y a-t-il une justice ?00:37:07 : La nouvelle norme mondiale pour éviter le pire00:45:31 : Comment transformer une grande entreprise de l'intérieur00:59:05 : La seule façon de bien réorganiser une entreprise : pourquoi protéger les moins rémunérés01:19:30 : Ce que doit faire la finance mondiale pour survivre01:43:03 : Rémunération et héritage : le problème éternel de la répartition02:01:59 : La Chine est déjà en avance sur la transition02:22:28 : La fausse bonne idée : embêter les PME/TPE02:37:51 : Convaincre tout le CAC40 pour un plan social02:46:37 : Gilets jaunes, Calais, la laitière du Bangladesh02:58:52 : La véritable économie loin des KPI déconnectées03:08:42 : L'impact dramatique de l'industrie alimentaire sur le règne animalLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #284 - Pierre-Édouard Stérin - Otium Capital - Milliardaire et saint dans une même vie#98 Pierre-Édouard Stérin - Smartbox - Entreprendre, gagner des centaines de millions pour tout distribuer à 50 ans#483 - Carlos Ghosn - Out of the box : masterclass business de l'évadé du siècle#472 - Jean-Marc Jancovici - The Shift Project, Carbone4 - L'Europe est dans la seringue : ce qui doit changer dans les 10 prochaines années#284 - Pierre-Édouard Stérin - Otium Capital - Milliardaire et saint dans une même vie#401 - Emmanuel Macron - Président de la République - Les décisions les plus lourdes se prennent seul#480 - Esther Perel - Psychothérapeute - Comment réparer l'atrophie sociale avec l'experte mondiale des relations humainesNous avons parlé de :DanoneVEJAForum social mondialREF25The Consumer Goods ForumNutriciaDanone EcosystemAquaLegris IndustriesFranck Riboud ex-PDG DanoneInstitutional Investor (magazine)WhiteWave FoodsThe Potsdam Institute for ClimateTask Force on Climate Related Financial DisclosuresLa "tragédie des horizons”Action Tank Entreprise et PauvretéMuhammad Yunus (homme d'État bangladais)Trek Chamonix-ZermattDocu GR20Discours d'Emmanuel Faber en 2016Les recommandations de lecture :Un autre monde est possible (changer le monde nouveau mode d'emploi)Chemins de traverseOuvrir une voieMain basse sur la cité: Éthique et entrepriseHard Things - Entreprendre dans l'incertitude: Entreprendre dans l'incertitudeCompetitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior PerformanceCompetitive Advantage of Nations: Creating and Sustaining Superior PerformanceLes Conquérants de l'inutileN'oublie pas les chevaux écumants du passéPlan de transformation de l'économie française (PTEF)Vous pouvez contacter Emmanuel sur LinkedIn, Instagram.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Salesforce RVP Lauren McGuire has lived the full arc of modern sales leadership. She started as an SDR in California, helped build high-performing BDR teams through hypergrowth and an IPO, jumped into AE management at multiple startups, then relocated to London with two young children to scale regional teams. In this conversation, Lauren opens up about what those chapters really felt like and how she kept her family at the center while growing her career. We talk through the early return to work after maternity leave in the US, the adrenaline of standing up outbound engines from scratch, and the reality of being close to the pulse of a startup when you also have small humans who need dinner at six. Lauren shares how a move to the UK reshaped family logistics, school choices, and the friendships that make a new city feel like home. Lauren breaks down the difference between leading inside a large, established company and the all-hands-on-deck energy of startups, including where exposure to decision making is plentiful and where it is limited. She explains her leadership style, why empathy is a performance tool, and how she aligns coaching moments to each person's long-term goals so the tough days still make sense. We also get practical. Lauren walks us through the weekly rhythm that keeps her household running, the role of an after-school nanny, and the simple agreements that reduce friction at home. There is gym time at 6 a.m., shared calendars, planned meals, and just enough spontaneity on weekends to keep it fun. Her final takeaways are clear. Build a structure that fits your life, protect time for your health, and remember that family wellbeing is the foundation everything else sits on.

Jeremy Au and Gita Sjahrir unpack Indonesia's turbulence, from corruption scandals and startup economic uncertainty due to the collapse of eFishery. They contrast Singapore's stability with Indonesia's volatility, explore how weak rule of law erodes trust, and discuss how scandals damage both founders and investors. They also analyze the role of boards, GPs, and operating partners in strengthening Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem. 02:00 Corruption scandals seem to show political motivation: The Tom Lembong case introduced the charge of “potential loss to the state,” which was never proven, and targeted him while other ministers who made similar decisions were left untouched. 04:46 Public mistrust deepens: Indonesians question whether corruption cases are genuine, ploys, or selective prosecutions, and many view them as witch hunts that worsen the disconnect between government and citizens. This has resulted in street protests. 09:19 Economic data raises skepticism: Official growth figures of above 5 percent confused the public, as weak indicators like falling auto sales, rising unemployment, and declining foreign direct investment suggest economic hardship is the reality. 12:12 Central bank cuts interest rates: The surprise decision was a move to boost growth to increase domestic investments and spending. Observers argued that transparency and equal rule of law remain the true foundation for long-term capital flows. 15:07 eFishery founder detained by Indonesia police: The founder's detention followed a public Bloomberg interview in which he admitted to misconduct, reinforcing concerns that the scandal severely damaged trust in Indonesia's startup scene. Law enforcement may improve public trust and deter bad-faith actors 19:33 Investor reaction turns punitive: Indonesia founders are asked to show profitability very early, to hit one million ARR within their first year, and to give up more than 20 percent equity even before a Series A. 28:17 VC operating partner model is missing: Unlike private equity, Southeast Asian venture capital rarely employs experienced operating partners - to support founders directly or fill board seats, leaving a gap in hands-on help and corporate governance.

Blockchains operate as a public ledger, ‘disclosing' the entire transaction history and associated data to everyone. While verifiability and traceability are key traits, as blockchains gain global adoption, those very features hinder the process. Self custody, on-chain identities, corporate strategies, transaction history, private deals, all represent highly sensitive information that call for provable confidentiality. Fully homomorphic encryption has long been considered the ‘holy grail' of cryptography as it enables computation to be performed on encrypted data without the need of prior decryption. This basically translates to true end-to-end encryption, both on-chain and off-chain. As cryptographic research advances, so does the scalability and applicability of FHE. As a result of more than 5 years of work, Zama has now released Zama Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE, without any additional execution burden. By encrypting all ciphertexts with the same public key, FHE ensures composability and seamless integration across different blockchains and applications, making it a true cross-chain confidentiality layer. Through parallel execution, Zama Protocol already surpasses Ethereum's throughput, yet future roadmap includes open-source development of FPGA & ASIC in order to scale it even further, to accommodate faster, non-EVM chains.Topics covered in this episode:Zama's progress in FHEZama's confidential blockchain ProtocolSecurity guarantees of MPC coprocessorsMaintaining a healthy operator setSlashing and governanceZama's throughputOpen-sourcing FPGA & ASIC developmentThe Zama token & its implicationsZama's public testnetPrivate votingZama fundingRegulationsExpanding use cases beyond blockchainsFuture goals and expectationsEpisode links:Rand Hindi on XZama on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
