Podcasts about startups

This time around, we have an experimental format, featuring the first episode of a brand-new podcast launching next week, Drug Story. I rarely feature episodes from other shows, but I think this one is well worth your time. It changed how I think about allergies, especially as someone who carries an EpiPen and has wondered: why on earth have food allergies seemed to skyrocket in the last few decades?Drug Story is a podcast that tells the story of the disease business, one drug at a time. Each episode explores one disease and one drug, and it kicks off with EpiPen and food allergies. A quick teaser: What if I told you that a well-meaning medical recommendation may have caused millions of kids to develop food allergies?Make sure to subscribe to Drug Story on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

John Hill was lying in a hospital bed after surviving a massive heart attack when he faced a life-altering choice: give up, or stay and find a higher purpose. Choosing to stay, John walked away from his stable job with only one paycheck left, no safety net, and a yellow legal pad to map out a business idea that experts called "the worst model ever." He set out to clean up a dirty industry by doing the unthinkable—personally guaranteeing the work of contractors to protect homeowners.In this interview, John sits down with Ryan Atkinson to share how he built The Good Contractors List, a company that has backed over $5 billion in work and paid out $127,000 in claims to fix bad jobs. He reveals why the "sell the lead" model is broken and how his unique approach of "giving more than you take" created a community-driven ecosystem that generates revenue without sacrificing integrity.You'll learn why ignoring "business experts" was the best decision John ever made, how to identify if you are a Visionary or an Integrator, and the crucial difference between self-promotion and community authority. We also dive deep into how faith fueled John through financial rock bottom and the practical steps entrepreneurs can take to build a business that prioritizes purpose over profit.Takeaways:- Purpose Beats Credentials: John didn't have a business degree or a safety net; he had a "hospital bed promise" to live with purpose. This intrinsic motivation fueled him through obstacles that would have stopped a purely profit-driven founder. - The "Anti-Lead" Business Model: John disrupted the industry by refusing to sell leads. Instead of charging per lead (which incentivizes quantity over quality), he charges a flat membership fee, aligning his success with the contractor's reputation rather than their marketing spend.- Validate with Sales, Not Software: You don't need a website to start. John launched his business with a yellow legal pad and a pen, collecting checks and validating the concept before spending a dime on digital infrastructure.- Ignore the "Experts": Multiple business consultants told John his model—personally guaranteeing contractor work—was "suicide." He ignored them, and that specific differentiator is what allowed him to back over $5 billion in projects.- The Visionary vs. Integrator Dynamic: John struggled with structure until he recognized he was a "Visionary" and needed an "Integrator" partner to handle operations. Knowing your personality type is crucial for scaling past the startup phase.-Crowdsourced Quality Control: Instead of just hunting for contractors himself, John built a referral program where he pays homeowners and other contractors to refer trusted pros, effectively letting the community build his vetting pipeline.- Risk is Lower Than You Think: Guaranteeing work sounds risky, but the data proves otherwise. Because the vetting process is so strict, The Good Contractors List has only had to pay out ~$127,000 on $5 billion worth of jobs.- Give More Than You Take: This isn't just a moral stance; it's a growth strategy. By not nickel-and-diming contractors for every lead, John built a loyal community that self-polices and promotes the brand organically.- Faith as a Stress Management Tool: John attributes his ability to handle the "Valley of Death" (running out of money) to a spiritual surrender. Removing his ego from the outcome allowed him to make clear decisions without panic.- Community Authority: A single contractor saying "I'm good" is marketing. A third-party organization backing that contractor with their own money is authority. John built a business on selling trust, not just advertising space.Tags: Home Services, Entrepreneurship, Business mindset, Faith, Startup, LeadershipResources:Grow your business today:  https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with John: https://thegoodcontractorslist.com/contractor-listings-and-our-team/

Space startups today look a lot like the internet in 1995 – early, chaotic, and packed with upside for the founders brave enough to build in the void. With VCs going all in on space, Techstars betting big on the category, and an entire industry quietly taking over venture capital, this is a moment founders can't ignore.In this episode of Demo Day, Techstars Space Managing Director Gabriel Schlumberger breaks down why “SPACE IS THE FUTURE” is more than a catchy thumbnail – it's an actual investing thesis. Gabriel explains how launch costs, new business models, and a surge of satellites are turning space into one of the most important frontier markets for startups and venture capital.Gabriel shares his journey from Pixar, Blue Sky, and Disney to becoming a founder himself, building an FDA‑regulated glasses startup for kids in the middle of a global pandemic, and then stepping into his role at Techstars Space. That experience across creative studios, corporate innovation, and true zero‑to‑one startup chaos shapes how he now evaluates founders and why he's so bullish on space companies.You'll learn:Why space today feels like the internet did in 1995, and what that means for startup timing and upside.How Techstars is betting big on space through its accelerator with NASA JPL and the U.S. Space Force.The trait Gabriel calls “pathological curiosity” and why it separates the best founders and VCs.What actually happens inside Techstars: mentor weeks, “give first” culture, and how a few teams get picked from hundreds of applicants.A real founder story: running a hardware and medical device startup through COVID, fundraising, manufacturing, and brutal unknowns.Whether you're a founder thinking about space, a SaaS builder curious about frontier markets, or an investor trying to understand the industry quietly taking over VC, this episode is a masterclass in how the next decade of startups will be built.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Daniel Koonce and Caleb Talley sat down with Joseph Batta-Mpouma, founder and CEO of CelluDot, to discuss his entrepreneurial journey and how CelluDot is tackling critical issues in agriculture through innovation.Joseph, whose background is in material science and engineering, shared how his academic path shifted when exposed to entrepreneurship during graduate school. Inspired to make a real-world impact, he founded CelluDot to deliver concrete solutions for encapsulating bio and chemo compounds, a breakthrough especially vital for crop protection.One of the main challenges CelluDot addresses is herbicide drift, a persistent issue costing farmers billions. Joseph emphasized the importance of understanding farmers' real pain points, illustrating how genuine customer discovery must inform applied scientific solutions. By starting field trials in eastern Arkansas and engaging directly with farmers, the team was able to customize its technology to truly meet users' needs. Additionally, Joseph explains how CelluDot's roadmap is built around a versatile core technology, with plans to expand into fertilizers, feed supplements, and nutraceuticals. In five years, CelluDot aims to be a U.S. leader in encapsulation solutions, empowering partners in agriculture and beyond.Reflecting on his journey, Joseph encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs to “just start,” stressing the value of seizing opportunities and learning quickly from failures. Listeners can learn more about CelluDot at their website and are encouraged to reach out to support farmers and sustainable agriculture.

Rural entrepreneurship is not a niche story or a lifestyle choice but a high-stakes engine for job creation, community survival and the future of Colorado's economy.   This episode features a candid conversation with Brittany Romano of Startup Colorado about what entrepreneurship in rural communities actually requires when access to capital mentorship and networks is limited. Drawing from her own experience as a rural founder Brittany explains why many Colorado startups remain in a prolonged startup phase and how rural business growth depends on long-term support rather than quick wins. What happens when strong businesses fall into the missing middle between small business and venture scale? How do founders build momentum when funding and advisors are harder to reach?   The conversation also reframes rural economic development as essential to statewide competitiveness rather than philanthropy. Startup Colorado's work highlights why small business support in rural areas sustains jobs, strengthens communities and makes it possible for people to live and work across the state. For listeners interested in startup funding in Colorado or building companies outside major metros this episode offers a grounded perspective on why rural entrepreneurship deserves serious attention.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Rural Entrepreneurship Matters for Colorado's Economy 05:40 The Real Challenges Facing Rural Entrepreneurs 10:54 Access to Capital and the Rural Funding Gap 17:00 Building Strong Startup Ecosystems Outside Major Cities 23:40 How Listeners Can Support Rural Founders and Communities Links: Visit Howdy Partners Bridge Entrepreneurs Network Colorado   Connect with Brittany Romano: Connect with Brittany on LinkedIn Visit the Startup Colorado website   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Visit HiveCast   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

And they've pulled off what everyone else says is impossible: growing while cutting emissions.Jesper Brodin is an IKEA man through and through.He knows it inside and out, every product line, every market, every challenge.At 26, he was the only person who applied to run IKEA Pakistan.Thirty years later, he's been leading the 40-billion-euro Swedish giant with 170,000 employees for eight years through a pandemic, geopolitical chaos, war, and hyperinflation.In 2020, IKEA wasn't selling online.Six weeks later, all stores had gone digital.A two-year plan compressed into 42 days. 55,000 days of closure worldwide and a turnover that fell by only 4%.The company even made a profit, to the point of repaying all the state aid it received during the crisis.But his biggest achievement might be proving the trade-off is a myth.Under his leadership, IKEA grew by 24% and bet 4.2 billion euros on renewable energy.An attempt to prove that a furniture giant can grow without proportionally increasing its environmental footprint.In this episode, Jesper reveals:How do you grow without ever taking a bank loan?Why designing a €19 chair that requires more excellence than a €300 oneHow to digitize a several billion company in 6 weeks instead of 2 yearsWhy hierarchy is the enemy of speed and what they do about itThe IKEA's "side" businesses that are worth billionsA masterclass in leadership and sustainability with a CEO who spent 30 years proving that business success and planetary responsibility aren't opposites, but fuel for each other.You can contact Jesper on Linkedin.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : First day on the job: a kidnapping00:13:10 : How do you know it's time to quit?00:23:31 : The pandemic that digitized IKEA in six weeks00:35:37 : The CEO who does the dishes / Nothing is slower than hierarchy00:48:12 : Sustainability doesn't have to cost more01:05:24 : The bookshelf that explains how IKEA works01:17:05 : The democratic design formula01:26:30 : The blueprint for opening an IKEA store01:43:34 : The side business worth billions01:52:17 : The car-based model evolves02:02:35 : Regrets of inactionWe referred to previous GDIY episodes : #510 - Carole Benaroya - Kujten - La reine du cachemire#496 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA - Faire du business autrement#467 - Christel Heydemann - Orange - Garder le cap pour réussir dans un marché en rupture permanente#461 - Sébastien Bazin - PDG du groupe Accor - Diriger un groupe coté en bourse sans ordinateur#234 - Amandine Merle Julia - Plum Living - Pimper IKEA pour proposer un design d'intérieur accessible à tousA few recent episodes in English : #500 - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - How to master humanity's most powerful invention#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#473 - VO - Brian Chesky - Airbnb - « We're just getting started »#452 - VO - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - L'humanité 2.0 : Homo technicus plus qu'Homo sapiens#437 - James Dyson - Dyson - “Failure is more exciting than success”#431 - Sean Rad - Tinder - How the swipe fever took over the worldWe spoke about :The Billy bookcase has sold 60 million copiesIKEA Ranks as World's Sixth Largest Food ChainReading Recommendations :Fifi BrindacierInterested in sponsoring Generation Do It Yourself or proposing a partnership ?

Now on Spotify Video! After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it's meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI. In this final episode of the AI Vault series, Peter breaks down how to design and use AI in ways that elevate human abilities, support better decision-making, and promote fairness across business, education, and leadership. In this episode, Hala and Peter will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:28) His Transition From Academia to Corporate (06:05) The Evolution of Google Search Technology (12:59) How Artificial Intelligence Has Changed Over Time (17:53) Human Intelligence vs. AI Capabilities (23:38) What Is Human-Centered AI? (29:42) AI-Powered Learning and Workplace Training (35:47) AI for Entrepreneurs: The New Advantage (39:10) Artificial Intelligence and Income Inequality (41:19) The Risks and Rewards of Artificial Intelligence Peter Norvig is a computer scientist, AI pioneer, and former Director of Research at Google, where he led significant advancements in search and machine learning. He is the co-author of Artificial Intelligence, the leading AI textbook used in more than 1,500 universities worldwide. Today, as a Fellow at Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute, Peter focuses on building AI systems that are fair, inclusive, and aligned with human values.

#675: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter E stands for Entrepreneurship. This episode originally aired in September 2018, at a moment when startup culture was loud, venture capital was abundant, and entrepreneurship was often framed as something that involves outside investors and rapid growth. ____ In this episode, we rewind the clock to 2018. Remember what entrepreneurship was supposed to look like back then? Build a startup. Raise capital. Scale fast. Get rich. That was the dominant story. But our guest, Rand Fishkin, told a different story – a story about founder burnout, debt, and the downside of startup culture. Rand, the founder of Moz, shares how he and his mother accumulated nearly half a million dollars in debt while running an early services business. He talks about what it felt like to face creditors, negotiate settlements, and keep going under intense financial pressure. From there, we move into one of the most misunderstood ideas in entrepreneurship: the difference between service businesses and product businesses. Rand breaks down the trade-offs. Services generate income faster. Product businesses rely on outside capital. And founders often earn far less than people expect. That leads to a deeper conversation about incentives. Once venture capital enters the picture, priorities shift. Profits matter less. Growth matters more — and it affects both the business and your personal finances. High revenue does not automatically translate into personal wealth. We also talk about the side of entrepreneurship that rarely makes the highlight reels: Loneliness. Anxiety. Depression. And the relief that comes from realizing that even the most successful founders often feel lost while they're building. This conversation feels less like startup advice and more like a long-term framework for thinking clearly about risk, money, and meaning. If you've ever questioned whether entrepreneurship automatically leads to financial freedom, this episode offers a grounded and very honest answer.

Overview: In this episode, we unpack key takeaways from Workplace Culture, a resource designed for startup founders, early-stage leaders, and forward-thinking HR professionals who recognize that scaling rapidly without a solid cultural foundation is a recipe for disaster. The message is clear: Culture is not a line item to revisit after funding, it's the operating system that determines whether your startup survives, thrives, or crashes from the inside out. As I always say, growth without culture fails. If you're tired of watching talent burn out or team energy fizzle after every sprint, this briefing is your wake-up call. Key Themes and Insights: Why Startups Get Culture Wrong (and Fast): Speed. Funding. Product. That's the holy trinity for most founders, but in chasing those, culture often gets left behind. When culture isn't intentional from day one, toxic behaviors like overwork, communication breakdowns, and "hero" leadership creep in and calcify. Big Insight: Culture is defined by what you tolerate, not by what you write on a wall. It's what happens when you're not watching. That's the truth every founder needs to confront. The 5 Culture-First Non-Negotiables: Values You Can Actually Live By: Your values should drive who you hire, promote, and let go, not just what's printed on the About page. They need to guide daily decisions. Leadership That Walks the Talk: Culture starts at the top. If your leadership team doesn't model integrity, ownership, and vulnerability, don't expect your team to either. Psychological Safety = Speed: When failure isn't punished, learning accelerates. Teams move quicker when they don't fear retribution for mistakes. Sustainable Pace Over Hustle: Growth doesn't have to mean burnout. Smart startups build in systems for clarity, rest, and reflection, so momentum doesn't cost mental health. Rituals That Reinforce Culture: Culture isn't just what's said in all-hands meetings. It's embedded in daily rhythms, standups, weekly wins, story-based onboarding,that scale better than a mission statement. Culture Health Check – Ask Yourself: What gets celebrated on your team and why? What behaviors are you tolerating that go against your values? What emotional experience does a new hire have in their first week? If your answers are vague, your culture is likely running on autopilot and that's dangerous when growth accelerates. Final Takeaway: Culture isn't the “soft stuff.” It's your infrastructure. If you're scaling, it'll either be your engine or your anchor. Make it your engine.

This week, Gene Marks tells us it's late, but it's not too late to reduce this year's tax bill. There are still steps you can take, including writing off receivables and inventory and kicking money into a retirement plan. You might even be able to save money on your taxes from previous years if you used the research-and-development tax depreciation. The GOP tax law allows you to go back and retroactively take the full R&D deduction in the first year rather than amortizing it over five years—but check with your accountant. Gene also says that it's no longer a slam dunk that a pass-through structure is best for smaller businesses—but again, check with your accountant!

A guest episode from Famous & Gravy. On each episode, host Michael Osborne and guests look at the life of a famous dead celebrity and ask themselves if it's a life they would've wanted. The show gets into all sorts of things you will not in that person's official obituary or biography. I'm a fan. Here's how they describe today's episode:This person died 2011, age of 56. He dropped out of Reed College in 1972 and once said that taking LSD was among the most important things he ever did. In the early years of his career, his obsession with detail drove colleagues crazy, but later he inspired extraordinary loyalty. In the 1990s he bought a small computer graphics spinoff from George Lucas and built it into Pixar. He told the world he would step down as Apple's CEO if he could no longer meet expectations — and then he did. Today's dead celebrity is Steve Jobs.Subscribe to Famous & Gravy in all your favorite podcast apps and at famousandgravy.com---And if you please…Subscribe to the CRAFTED. newsletter: crafted.fmShare with a friend!

Revenue Solves All Problems Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In a startup, revenue solves all problems. Funding can help, but only for so long. As long as you have cash, you can run the startup. When you run out of money, then it's over. Revenue can fix any problem. If you need more sales support, you can hire them. If you need to fix a product, you can bring in a developer to do the job. If you need more leads, you can hire a marketer. Funding can solve many problems, but it's limited. There's only so much funding a founder can raise. Funding only goes so far before it runs out. Funding jump-starts the business, but revenue carries it the distance. Develop your long-term plans around revenue generation. Use funding to fill the gaps. Whatever you do, make sure you don't run out of cash. 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.

315 | Jess Lytle (Head of Marketing at Exit Five) hosts a live roundtable with Morgan Cole (VP of Demand Gen at Red Canary), Lisa Cole (CMO at 2X), and Jean Cameron (Sr. Director of Field & Partner Marketing at Demandbase) on how B2B teams are using AI to drive pipeline and revenue. They share real examples of how marketers are identifying in-market buyers earlier, moving deals faster, replacing outdated lead scoring, and keeping marketing, sales, and ops aligned around revenue. The conversation goes deep on intent signals, buying groups, predictive analytics, brand vs demand, and what's changing in the new era of pipeline accountability. Timestamps(00:00) - AI hype vs real revenue impact (06:16) - Panel intros and GTM perspectives (08:46) - The real pipeline problem: growth without more headcount (11:16) - How teams use AI to identify in-market buyers earlier (16:46) - Buying groups, not leads: why account signals matter (20:46) - Predictive analytics, pipeline forecasting, and deal analysis (27:36) - Why traditional lead scoring is breaking (37:28) - How teams “swarm” accounts with marketing + sales (43:48) - Brand and demand together: building future pipeline Join 50,0000 people who get our Exit Five Newsletter here: https://www.exitfive.com/newsletterLearn more about Exit Five's private marketing community: https://www.exitfive.com/***Today's episode is brought to you by Knak.Email (in my humble opinion) is the still the greatest marketing channel of all-time.It's the only way you can truly “own” your audience.But when it comes to building the emails - if you've ever tried building an email in an enterprise marketing automation platform, you know how painful it can be.

Graham Rigby is the President and CEO of the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), the leading trade association for the herbal products industry. With 20 years of experience across startups and industry leadership—including serving as Chief Innovation Officer at Care/of—Graham has helped shape how modern supplement brands navigate regulation, formulation, and go-to-market strategy.In this episode of DTC Pod, Graham shares what it actually takes to launch and scale a supplement brand without getting burned by regulators. He breaks down exactly where the line is between claims that sell and claims that get you in trouble, why so many founders get blindsided by FDA and FTC enforcement, and how to work with contract manufacturers when you're just starting out. Graham also gets into the real opportunity in supplements right now—why clinical trials cost 90% less than they did two decades ago, how AI is changing the formulation game, and why a $70 billion market growing at 6.5% still has plenty of room for new entrants. Plus, his take on the brands that are doing it right, from AG1 to Ritual, and what founders can learn from their playbooks.Episode brought to you by StordInteract with other DTC experts and access our monthly fireside chats with industry leaders on DTC Pod Slack.On this episode of DTC Pod, we cover:1.

In this encore episode of Rapid Response, we revisit a scientific breakthrough that set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction' of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences' announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and re-wilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal's dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal's co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joined host Bob Safian to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the startup attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company's technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.
