What if the best way to lead product is to build it yourself first?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chase Schwalbach, SVP of Product and Technology at Millie, to unpack a radically different approach to product leadership. Despite his title, Chase spent months as an IC, rolling up his sleeves to build healthcare infrastructure, teach himself AI eval systems, and ship a sophisticated patient chatbot, all before bringing his team in. He explains why shielding the team from early-stage messiness, moving at speed, and feeling the pain yourself leads to better products.They explore how Chase built a team of AI agents (supervisor + specialized sub-agents) from scratch, why treating prompts like deterministic code requires extreme precision, and how he taught himself evals through pure iteration. Plus, the converging worlds of PM and engineering, why technical PMs and product-minded engineers are becoming the same role, why handoffs kill velocity in an AI-native world, and what “context engineering” actually means when your codebase needs to work for both humans and AI agents.If you're a product leader wondering whether to get more hands-on, an engineer considering the jump to PM (or vice versa), or building AI systems in regulated industries like healthcare, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

In a compelling exchange on the Naija Filmmaker podcast, Victor Ugoo Njoku articulates his vision for a more inclusive and representative Nigerian film industry. Throughout the episode, he recounts his formative experiences that ignited his passion for filmmaking, particularly the influence of his academic background in mass communication. Njoku discusses the pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of storytelling, emphasizing the need for narratives that reflect the genuine experiences of marginalized groups. His latest documentary, This Is Love, serves as a testament to this mission, as it intimately examines the lives of three LGBTQ couples in Nigeria. Njoku candidly shares the challenges faced during the production process, including the necessity of creating a safe environment for participants to express their truths. The conversation extends to the broader implications of representation in film, as Njoku advocates for improved storytelling practices within Nollywood. He stresses that the success of the industry hinges on its ability to embrace diversity and elevate underrepresented voices, thereby enriching the cinematic landscape in Nigeria.In this episode, you will learn the following:The podcast episode unravels how Victor Njoku's path to filmmaking began not on a grand stage, but from a place of keen observation.Victor's motivations for making a queer-focused film and commitment to authentic representationVictor's self-awareness about learning and growth as a filmmaker.Resources:https://www.instagram.com/victorugoonjoku/https://guidedoc.tv/documentary/this-is-love-documentary-film/Other episodes you'll enjoy:https://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/chiomaonyenwehttps://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/creativeogehttps://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/danieloriahi Donate:PAYSTACK: https://paystack.com/pay/thenaijafilmpod/STRIPE: https://www.thenaijafilmmaker.com/supportConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenaijafilmpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenaijafilmpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thenaijafilmpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/thenaijafilmpodLoved this episode?

Today, Hunter was joined by Luke Brownfield, the Chief Public Defender in Humboldt County, California.

In today's episode, we discuss: Why design leaders who stop designing stop leading The four pillars every design manager must master How to delegate when you're a perfectionist Why leaders need strong opinions How to scale good judgment What Rippling's operating system teaches about speed and commitments References: Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ Apple: https://www.apple.com/ Asana: https://www.asana.com/ Brian Chesky: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianchesky/ CrossFit: https://www.crossfit.com/ Figma: https://www.figma.com/ Honeywell: https://www.honeywell.com/ Liz Sanders: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandersliz/ Nest: https://store.google.com/category/google_nest Notion: https://www.notion.so/ Parker Conrad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/parkerconrad/ Patrick Collison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickcollison/ Retool: https://retool.com/ Rippling: https://www.rippling.com/ Stripe: https://www.stripe.com/ Where to find Ryan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanwlucas/ Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:08 What design actually does at a software company 01:40 The roots of design: from industrial design to software 03:29 Useful, usable, desirable — and used 04:49 How design relates to engineering, product, and marketing 08:15 Measuring success as a design leader 12:40 The gap between director and VP-level design leadership 14:23 Why great design leaders jump up and down in altitude 19:26 The four pillars every design manager must master 21:34 Over-indexing on quality and the perfectionist trap 25:11 When lowering the quality bar actually cost the business 27:53 How to build judgment through pattern matching 31:25 How Ryan's design team differs from the rest 34:31 Why Figma is not the source of truth 36:32 How Ryan spends his week: recruiting, crits, and staff meetings 38:39 The "Do/Try/Consider" framework 42:12 The most important decisions of the past year 44:05 Should one-on-ones exist? 46:45 How to scale judgment 50:49 What to look for when hiring your first design leader 54:54 Advice for young designers who want to lead 58:24 Demanding yet supportive: A balanced management style 01:02:43 What Rippling's operating system teaches about execution

What happens when all the world's money moves on chain? That's not a hypothetical for Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, it's the company's mission. In this episode, Marc explains how Polygon is evolving from its roots as an Ethereum layer two into the blockchain for global payments, detailing two recent acquisitions that form the foundation of what he calls the "open money stack" - a single API combining on-ramps, wallets, and cross-chain interoperability.With over $2.5 trillion in transaction volume already processed and partnerships with Revolut, Stripe, Nubank, and dozens of fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Marc makes the case that stablecoins are just the beginning. He shares why tokenized bank deposits will be the real game-changer, how banks are already positioning to profit from this shift, and why in 10 years he believes every dollar, whether paying a merchant down the street or sending a remittance across the globe, will move on a blockchain without anyone even thinking about it.In this podcast you will learn:How Marc first got interested in blockchain and crypto technology.Why he decided to make the move to Polygon Labs.Why Polygon decided to focus on payments.All the components you need to move money around the world on blockchain.The idea behind the open money stack.How Polygon is working with the likes of Revolut and Stripe.How they differentiate themselves from the other payments blockchains.What they are doing in AML and sanctions policy.The scale that Polygon is at today when it comes to transaction volume.What will the financial system look like when more money stays on chain.The two things banks ask in their initial conversations with Polygon.How money will transform in the next 10 years and why most people will not notice.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Introduction “AI in insurance” has become shorthand for chatbots and generic automation. This episode focuses on a more operational question: what would it take for AI to behave like a dependable CSR inside a real agency workflow — completing service work end-to-end, without eroding trust or the customer experience? Guest Bio Nikhil Kansal is the Co‑Founder & CTO of Cara, a domain‑specific AI platform built for insurance to automate servicing and assist with sales. Prior to Cara, Nikhil co‑founded Oyster, a digital brokerage built around customer experience and risk placement. Earlier in his career, he worked as an infrastructure engineer at Stripe, helping operate global payments at high reliability. Key Topics (with context) -Beyond “chatbots” to an AI CSR: Why the bar is task completion, not conversation quality. Delegation + trust: What changes when AI becomes a coworker you can assign work to (and verify). -System-of-record reality: How Cara is designed to sit on top of existing tools instead of forcing a rip-and-replace. -Agency workflow fit: Where service volume lives (certificates, policy changes, routine requests) and what can be automated safely. -Voice + email automation: The operational implications when AI can handle phone calls and inbox-driven work. -Cost control vs service expectations: How leaders reconcile staffing constraints with rising customer expectations. -Guardrails + change management: What “safe automation” looks like in regulated, high-trust environments. Quotes -Nikhil: “It's a coworker that you can delegate certain tasks to — and you can trust that it gets completed end‑to‑end.” -Nikhil: “Cara is not a replacement for an AMS; it's more of a coordinator on top of your system of record.” -Nikhil: “Cara can pick up the phone, speak to the customer, and understand what they're calling about.” Resources Mentioned Nikhil Kansal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikansal/ Cara: https://www.getcara.ai/ Joshua Hollander: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuarhollander/ If you lead service, ops, or growth at an agency, MGA, carrier, or insurtech: subscribe for operator-level conversations. - Follow/subscribe on YouTube - Subscribe on your podcast platform (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, etc.) - Share the episode with the colleague who owns service capacity and staffing plans

This week go deep with Alex Komoroske, CEO and co-founder of Common Tools, about his vision for a more saner, more intentional tech paradigm in which the historical contingencies that gave us the digital world we have today have been fundamentally reworked.The version of AI most of us have come to accept or reject looks like corporate-owned super-assistants with all your data. Instead, we could have a decentralized ecosystem where software self-assembles around you—private, personal, and prosocial. Alex speaks on this possible world with authority: he spent 13 years at Google as PM Director on Chrome's web platform, Search, and AR, and later led corporate strategy at Stripe before co-founding Common Tools with Bernhard Seefeld.Some of the waypoints in our conversation include: confidential compute, emergent ontologies, where we want friction, the tyranny of the marginal users, the rise of the generalist, the importance of context ownership, and software ephemerality.We can't take a reasonable principled stance on the promises and perils of AI without considering the vast unexplored possibility space that Alex opens in this conversation. I'm grateful that I get to share it with you and help light the way for promising alternatives to what many of us have come to accept as “the way things are.”Links to extensive additional reading and listening below!✨ If you enjoy this podcast, please consider liking, subscribing, and commenting wherever you listen: YouTube • Spotify • Apple Podcasts • Etc.✨ Become a member to support the show and score myriad perks, like our book club: our next call is on Wendell Berry's Standing by Words this Sunday, Feb 15th!✨ Become a founding member for access to my five-week science and philosophy course at Weirdosphere and the raw recordings of every unreleased episode!

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Alameda County Chief Public Defender Brendon Woods.

South Korea and Taiwan also posted gains, supported by optimism over potential tariff reprieves. European markets are narrowly mixed in early trading.

Maxima is building AI agents that automate enterprise accounting while maintaining the auditability and control standards finance teams require. In a recent episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Yogi Goel, CEO and Co-Founder of Maxima, to explore his eight-year journey at Rubrik from Series C through IPO, and how those lessons shaped his approach to solving the 70-80% of finance time currently wasted on manual work. Topics Discussed: Why Rubrik's approach—entering stagnant markets with first-principles thinking—became Maxima's blueprint Securing $3K-$5K POC commitments from Figma mockups before writing code Why Scale AI and Rippling rejected a point solution and demanded 3-4 modules from day one The compound startup model: building multiple products simultaneously to meet buyer expectations How 17% of CFOs are adopting AI tools today (vs 51% in software development) Why finance teams view AI agents as "digital college freshmen" who need proof of work Hiring from YouTube Studios, Apple, and Robinhood instead of legacy finance software companies How NetSuite World conference booth sizes revealed the data integration infrastructure gap The $3K-$5K validation threshold that proved finance pain was urgent enough to pay pre-product GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Demand generation unlocks engineering potential: Yogi learned from his Rubrik mentors: "focus on demand and if you have great engineers then they will solve the problems." Maxima built products in 2-3 months they didn't initially know were technically feasible—because customer demand pulled the engineering team forward. For founders with strong technical teams, customer demand should drive the roadmap, not engineering's comfort zone. Trust your engineers to solve hard problems when customers are waiting. $3K-$5K is the pre-product validation threshold: Before writing any code, Yogi secured POC commitments at this price point based solely on Figma mockups. This isn't about revenue—it's about proving urgency. Verbal interest means nothing. Small pilot commitments mean "we'll try it someday." But $3K-$5K pre-product means "this problem is urgent enough to pay before seeing a working solution." Use this threshold to separate real pain from polite interest. Sophisticated buyers will reject your narrow MVP: Scale AI and Rippling told Maxima explicitly: "If you will only build this one thing, we will not buy. You have to commit to building three, four modules." Conventional wisdom says start narrow, but enterprise buyers with complex workflows won't adopt point solutions that create new integration headaches. When sophisticated buyers articulate their real buying criteria, ignore the startup playbook. Yogi built a "compound startup" with 4-5 modules from day one because that's what the market demanded. Target acute pain over easy access: Early-stage companies (10-30 people) were easier to reach but finance wasn't urgent enough. At that scale, it's "build product, ship product"—finance operations aren't broken enough to warrant urgent attention. Companies at 500-1,000+ employees have finance teams drowning in manual work that prevents strategic contribution. Target where pain justifies urgent action and budget exists, not where calendar access is easiest. Hire intensity and first-principles thinking over domain knowledge: Maxima deliberately hired zero engineers from legacy finance software companies. Their frontend engineer came from YouTube Studios. Others came from Apple, Robinhood, Netflix—none with financial product experience. Yogi's three hiring criteria: "incredible intensity, huge confidence in themselves, and fast thinking mode." Domain expertise creates pattern-matching to old solutions. First-principles thinking creates breakthrough products. One team member didn't finish high school but is "one of the best out there." Make AI explainable or finance teams won't adopt: Finance teams adopted faster than expected because Maxima showed every calculation step. "If they can prove by looking at the Math, you know, 18 plus 88 plus 36 is X. And I can see the step of the work, they are willing to give it to them." This isn't about fancy UX—it's about auditor-grade proof of work. Finance professionals won't trust black box outputs. Build transparency into the product architecture, not as an afterthought. This explainability became Maxima's competitive moat. Conference booth sizes reveal infrastructure gaps: At NetSuite World, the largest booths weren't ERP vendors or payment processors—they were data integration companies. This single observation validated that enterprises are desperately solving data fragmentation problems. Companies manually download from Stripe, Snowflake, Salesforce weekly to build Excel pivots. Maxima invested in upstream integrations as core infrastructure from day one. Use industry conferences to validate where companies are spending money on workarounds—that's where infrastructure gaps exist. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

What if the best product decision is saying “no” to what everyone else is building?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Alexander Danilowicz, founder and CEO of Magic Patterns, to unpack why his AI prototyping tool is the only one refusing to add backend features—even when competitors like Lovable, Bolt, and v0 are racing in that direction. Alex explains how focusing exclusively on front-end code leads to higher quality prototyping, why many use cases don't actually need a database, and how product teams at large companies can't risk connecting production data to prototyping tools anyway.They explore what it takes to maintain conviction when investors, customers, and the entire market seem to be moving the opposite way. Alex shares how using your own product daily keeps you honest about what's actually broken, why real user feedback looks different from “fake” feature requests (like “add dark mode”), and how a strong co-founding relationship helps you resist temptation when external pressure mounts.If you're a product leader wrestling with feature requests that don't align with your vision, trying to figure out when to follow the market versus when to trust your gut, or building tools in the AI coding space, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Everyone is looking at the headlines… but almost no one is asking what this constant stream of information is actually doing to them. This video takes a step back from the noise and looks at the bigger picture — the effect, not just the event. Why does some information grip attention so tightly? Why do certain stories dominate every platform at the same time? And what happens when exposure turns into saturation? This isn't a breakdown of names or scandals. It's a deeper look at perception, focus, and the unseen impact of what we consume every day.

Question: What separates your type of music from others such as Meek Mills and Lil Uzi? My music is soulful.... Soloe sits down with Renaldo of The Neoliberal Round Podcast for What's Your Story part 24 which is season 15 episode 10 of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Soloe was quite candid and passionate, and very revealing as he shares his passions, his ups and his down and some sad stories but also some positive moments in his journey to becoming an impactful musician and artist. In this episode we begin with Soloe sharing his track and then Renaldo the creator and host revealing that he does a podcast and is recording him. Soloe welcomed being recorded and Renaldo continued with the greeting and record. The two were in a vehicle together as Renaldo record and you may hear street sounds during the recording. Soloe shared how he has gotten a bad rap and made some bad decisions from previous connections in the music industry as a R&B Hip-Hop artist trying to navigate the industry. He shared hos he manager was overcharging him and caused him to miss out on opportunities where he could have been signed by Epic studios. He discloses how he paid the manager of a popular rapper so as to include him on a track but the Manager stole the money and did not follow through on getting his artist to collaborate with him and when he met up with the artist, he was turned down and believed the artist was never told about how he had to pay at least $2000. However, Soloe continues to write music and is looking to get back into his music "bag" as he had taken an hiatus given the bad experiences and is currently working on expanding his talents on other music platforms and getting his name out more. Soloe is originally from Philadelphia and currently lives in the suburbs of the city and has had his music played on the radio 103.9 and performed at Onyx.Renaldo spoke with Soloe for over 40 minutes, and Soloe also shared three of his projects.

In episode #352 of SaaS Metrics School, Ben explains why SaaS and AI founders need to get control of their Stripe data early — before transaction volume and product complexity make it unmanageable. Drawing on years of fractional CFO experience, he explains how messy Stripe data can undermine revenue accuracy, MRR schedules, retention metrics, and due diligence readiness if the data flow isn't clearly mapped from day one. Resources Mentioned Ben's 7th Annual Tech Stack Report: https://www.thesaascfo.com/surveys/finance-accounting-tech-stack-survey/ What You'll Learn Why Stripe data becomes difficult to manage as transaction volume grows How Stripe feeds into revenue reporting, MRR schedules, and retention metrics What a “revenue by customer by month” (customer cube) actually requires How multiple product IDs and revenue types complicate Stripe reporting Why mapping payment, fee, and revenue flows early saves major cleanup later The role Stripe data plays in due diligence and investor scrutiny Why It Matters Stripe is often the source of truth for self-serve and PLG revenue Poorly mapped Stripe data makes MRR waterfalls and retention metrics unreliable Due diligence requires defensible revenue-by-customer schedules Fixing Stripe data problems later is far more expensive and time-consuming Clean Stripe flows enable accurate forecasting and financial clarity as you scale

Today, Hunter was joined by Samantha Pourciau of the Promise of Justice Initiative to discuss litigation they are brining to end the "Farm Line" at Angola State Prison. On previous episodes, the show has explored how Louisiana's mass incarceration system is rooted in the state's slave holding, colonial past. Few practices are more reminiscent of that past than the "farm line." This immoral practice forces men to labor in brutal, dangerous conditions for the sole purpose of sadistic punishment. Samantha joins the show to discuss their upcoming trial that aims to end the practice once and for all.   Guest: Samantha Pourciau, Senior Staff Attorney, Promise of Justice Initiative   Resources: Read the report Punitive by Design: The Farm Line at Louisiana State Penitentiary   More Coverage on the Suit https://promiseofjustice.org/news/incarcerated-farm-line-workers-win-class-certification https://vimeo.com/877204358?fl=pl&fe=sh https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fe0e9cce6e50722511b03cc/t/66fc02c82b34224736f02cf5/1743624596616/2024.09.30+RELEASE+Farm+Line+Class+Cert+Filed.pdf https://www.wwno.org/law/2026-01-13/angola-prison-farm-line-suit-becomes-class-action Read the Complaint https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fe0e9cce6e50722511b03cc/t/66427a930927131a043029e9/1715632788191/21%2C+2023.12.15+AMENDED+COMPLAINT.pdf Find PJI's Socials https://www.instagram.com/justicespromise/ https://www.facebook.com/promiseofjustice https://www.facebook.com/promiseofjustice https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMj-FFyyoOf-u0WbH-A6AGg https://www.linkedin.com/company/pjinola       Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

With roots as a prepaid card provider, Payoneer has evolved into a global financial operating platform serving 2 million entrepreneurs across 190 countries.Caplan shares insights from his entrepreneurial journey—from building OpenSky and scaling it to $50 million in revenue before its acquisition by Alibaba, to now leading Payoneer's transformation into a full-service banking alternative for global SMBs.We explore how Payoneer is addressing the complex financial needs of international businesses, competing in a dynamic payments landscape, and preparing for a future that includes stablecoins, workforce management, and potentially $1 trillion in annual volume.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Payoneer's Strategic Evolution from Payout Processor to Global SMB Bank AlternativeUnder John Caplan's leadership, Payoneer expanded beyond marketplace payouts to become a comprehensive cross-border financial platform, offering AR/AP, intra-network transfers, cards, and global workforce management.
