What if you could have SIX Chase Sapphire Reserve cards—each with zero annual fees—while maxing your TSP and living an incredible life of travel? Air Force Captain Jared Mataitusi reveals exactly how he and his wife stack premium credit cards, earn elite status, fly family to Europe for free, and still save aggressively toward financial independence. This is the ultimate military financial strategy you've been waiting for. Jared shares how he went from credit card float in college to managing 32 cards with his wife, earning six-figure travel benefits annually while maintaining a high savings rate. The conversation covers upgrading Freedom cards to multiple Sapphire Reserves, using deployment sprints to accelerate wealth, flying family overseas on points, TSP automation strategies, and how military service is a "cheat code" to financial independence when approached intentionally.

Arnie Katz has been running product and engineering under one roof since before most companies even considered combining the roles. As CPTO at GoFundMe, he oversees the teams behind a platform processing over 2.5 donations every second, with more than $40 billion in help facilitated worldwide. Arnie breaks down why the CPTO title keeps gaining traction, how he thinks about the role like a portfolio manager, and where the real trade offs live when one person holds both the product and technology reins.Key TakeawaysThe CPTO role works like a portfolio manager. Arnie manages the company's largest investment center by balancing short term business wins against long term platform bets, knowing when to take on technical debt and when to pay it down.Velocity, coordination, and alignment are the three biggest wins. When product and engineering report to one leader, decisions happen faster, roadmap conflicts get resolved without executive tug of war, and technical investments stay tied to business outcomes.The disadvantages are real. Without separate CPO and CTO voices at the executive table, certain perspectives can get muted. His fix: build a leadership bench strong enough to create the right tension underneath him.AI is changing what small teams can deliver. GoFundMe's eight person team behind Giving Funds is shipping at a pace that would have been impossible five years ago.Timestamped Highlights[00:38] The scale most people don't realize about GoFundMe, including 2.5 donations per second and GoFundMe Pro for nonprofits.[02:02] How Arnie first landed the CPTO title at StubHub seven years ago, and why it clicked.[09:11] The real downside of collapsing two C suite roles into one, and how Arnie designs around it.[13:57] His portfolio approach to technical debt, sequencing re platforming in areas like identity and payments while other teams ship business value.[18:38] AI reshaping engineering velocity, the future of the SDLC, and product teams prototyping without writing code.[23:06] Where the CPTO model is headed as the industry evolves.The Line That Stuck"I often think of myself as a portfolio manager. My job is to invest money where the company gets the best returns, where the mission gets the best return, where the shareholder gets the best returns."Pro TipsSequence your bets instead of spreading them thin. GoFundMe gave their identity and payments teams nine months of runway to re platform with no feature expectations while other squads picked up the pace on near term results.Build leadership that creates productive friction. Without CPO vs. CTO tension at the exec level, let your VPs and SVPs push back against each other. That tension is where the best decisions come from.Think in time horizons, not just priorities. Short term moves for 0.1% to 0.5% metric lifts. Midterm bets for 1% to 5% gains. Long term swings that could transform the business. Allocate across all three.If this conversation changed how you think about product and engineering working together, share it with someone on your team. Subscribe to The Tech Trek so you never miss an episode, and connect with Arnie on LinkedIn to keep the conversation going.GoFundMe is offering listeners of The Tech Trek a chance to open their own Giving Fund. For the first 50 people who open a Giving Fund and add $25 or more to their Giving Fund, GoFundMe will add an additional $25 to that Giving Fund. If you have a Giving Fund but have never contributed into it, you can also participate. The deadline for this incentive is March 13. To get this incentive, click here to start your Giving Fund.

This week, New Yorkers rang in the New Year by getting pranked by fake Brooklyn Bridge fireworks, while a couple in Brooklyn casually stole a live lobster from a restaurant and walked off into the night. From there, things only get stranger.Mae went to a Miami strip club and has thoughts, while we also get into raw meat leaking all over an airport baggage carousel, plants getting microneedling (science has gone too far), and a StubHub mix-up that sent metal fans to a Christian Christmas concert. Plus: shady political betting markets, closet clean-outs gone wrong, and a viral list of places women refuse to go on first dates.It's the first episode of the year — and 2026 is already doing the most.Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@laurasogar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mae_planert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow the pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@doomscrolldiariespod

Folks, on this week's all new ep we hear about someone trying to bring their cat in the HOV lane, why garlic mouthwash is the best for bad breath, how StubHub accidentally promoted the metal band 'Lamb of God' as a church Christmas show, why hundreds of Victorian shoes washed up on a beach, and how a relative of the Dodo was spotted in the rainforestBUY ELI'S NEW STAND UP ALBUM HERE: https://eliyudin.bandcamp.com/album/humble-offeringOR WATCH IT HERE: https://tinyurl.com/2wwdrpjcBecome a patron for weekly bonus eps and more stuff! :⁠⁠www.patreon.com/whatatimepod⁠⁠Check out our YouTube channel: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/whatatimetobealive⁠⁠Get one of our t-shirts, or other merch, using this link! ⁠⁠https://whatatimepod.bigcartel.com/whatatimepod.com⁠⁠Join our Discord chat here:⁠⁠discord.gg/jx7rB7J⁠Theme music by Naughty Professor⁠: ⁠https://www.naughtyprofessormusic.com/⁠@pattymo // @kathbarbadoro // @eliyudin// @whatatimepod©2025 What A Time LLC

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Shakira has been writing yet another outsized chapter in her already eventful biography. The most consequential development is on the touring front. El Salvador in English reports that after three Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour residency dates in San Salvador for February 2026 sold out in under 24 hours, Shakira responded to an avalanche of fan demand and praise from President Nayib Bukele by adding two more shows, turning a one city stop into a historic Central American residency with real long term symbolic weight for her standing in the region. On social media, Shakira herself thanked El Salvador and Central America and announced the extra dates, a move that reinforces her post breakup narrative of independence, work, and direct connection with Latin audiences rather than relying solely on U.S. or European markets.Closer to the present moment, Ticketmaster and StubHub listings confirm that Shakira is preparing for three Up Close and Personal shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood Florida on December 27, 28, and 29, 2025, with Vibee packaging the concerts into premium hotel and VIP experiences. These appearances, framed by Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster's own tour blog as intimate caps to a massive 2025 North American run, look designed to showcase her as both stadium force and high end live brand, a strategy that could shape how her touring era is remembered in future career profiles.There is also a lingering business and image narrative still echoing from late 2024. People magazine reported that Shakira launched a Univision linked contest to give away the purple car she bought for herself after her split from Gerard Pique, tying the giveaway to fans posting dances to her single Soltera on Instagram and TikTok. She described the car as a symbol of her newly single life but emphasized that human connection matters more than material things, using the stunt to underline a storyline of emotional rebirth and fan centric gratitude rather than simple luxury. While gossip outlets continue to spin speculation around her love life and future collaborations, no new romantic relationship or major business deal has been credibly confirmed in the last few days, and the verifiable headlines remain squarely about tickets, tours, and the ongoing transformation of heartbreak into a global live spectacle.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this special episode, Tye DeGrange, CEO of Round Barn Labs and host of Always Be Testing, reflects on his journey in marketing and the timeless principles he calls the Cowboy Code. Drawing from his upbringing on a California ranch and decades of experience leading growth at eBay, StubHub, and beyond, Tye explores what B2B marketers can learn from consumer brands.He highlights why trust and authenticity are more critical than ever in today's trust-deficit world, and how partner and affiliate marketing can help bridge the gap. From lessons in finishing what you start, keeping promises, and “talking less but saying more,” Tye makes the case that B2B has its moment now—to embrace authenticity, invest in brand, and build lasting trust with buyers.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is the CEO of Xero. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software designed for small businesses. They did $2.1 billion in revenue last year. Over the past 25 years, Sukhinder has had leadership roles at Google, Amazon, and StubHub. Notes: Key Learnings Strategic CEO Job Search Criteria – Sukhinder had four non-negotiables: macro tailwinds/good market, customer she could be passionate about, strong business model, and a role where she could "learn for miles" for 5-8 years. Only two companies met her criteria in 18 months of searching. "Sell, Interview, Sell" Hiring Process – First meeting is 50% selling the opportunity to attract top talent. Only after candidates lean in do you shift to intensive interviewing with leadership team exposure. The Virtuous Cycle Framework – Customer at the top, supported by "high purpose, high performance, high people" culture. "It's an 'and,' not an 'or'" - you don't get to choose just one element. Back-Channeling is Critical – Reference checking happens throughout the entire interview process, not just at the end. "The most important thing is not just front channel... it's all the back channel." Values Alignment Over Pure Qualifications – "Go where my values fit and my strengths are valued." Cultural fit becomes the deciding factor in close hiring calls, not competence. The Layoff Leadership Test – Six weeks after joining, Sukhinder laid off 900 people based on McKinsey benchmarking. Showed consistency between the outside-in analysis presented to the board and transparent communication to employees. Portfolio of Bets Strategy – Balance growth, profitability, and customer happiness through diversified initiatives ranging from "safe moves" to "flyers," with clear probability assessments. Consistency as Culture Foundation – "Culture means consistency of message and what's important." Authenticity through change, not resistance to change. The 10-Slide CEO Interview Deck Framework: Vision statement (destination in 2-3 years) Outside-in market analysis Competitive landscape SWOT analysis of current position Five key strategic moves Implementation approach ("the how") Estimated outcomes with probability ranges Practical Application: Job Search Strategy – Define 4-5 non-negotiable criteria upfront. Be willing to wait for roles that truly meet your standards rather than taking "the job before the job." Interview Preparation – Always build a comprehensive thesis deck even if not requested. Use it to clarify your own thinking and demonstrate strategic capability. Hiring Excellence – Spend equal time selling the opportunity and evaluating candidates. Use diverse interview panels and back-channel extensively throughout the process. Cultural Leadership – Be consistent in messaging across all stakeholders (board, investors, employees). Authenticity enables trust during periods of change. Strategic Planning – Frame initiatives as a portfolio of bets with clear probability assessments. Balance growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction rather than optimizing for one. Leadership Hiring Process: The CEO interviews top 2-3 levels even without hiring authority Diverse interviewer panels with "bar raisers" Business problem-solving presentations in the final rounds Multiple leadership team interactions before the final decision Life Lessons: Patience in Career Progression – Sometimes the right opportunity requires waiting. Sukhinder was frustrated during 18 months of searching but found the perfect fit. Preparation Separates Candidates – The depth of strategic thinking demonstrated in final presentations often determines CEO selections. Culture Survives Through Consistency – Not avoiding change, but maintaining consistent values and communication approach through inevitable changes. Leadership Requires Tough Decisions – Laying off 900 people six weeks into the role, but doing it transparently and based on clear data/analysis. Value Creation Through Alignment – Finding roles where your strengths are valued and values align creates exponentially better outcomes than pure skill matching. Systems Thinking Builds Trust – Sharing appropriate "behind the scenes" context helps teams understand difficult decisions and builds long-term credibility. Early Career Focus – "Do great work for great people." Find talented leaders to apprentice under and work exceptionally hard to maximize learning. Authenticity Enables Performance – Being genuine about challenges and changes builds stronger relationships than trying to maintain artificial stability. Strategic Communication – Frame personal asks in terms of organizational benefits. Make it about solving their problems, not your desires. The Xero Transformation: Financial Performance: $2.1B revenue, 21% YoY growth while maintaining profitability Cultural Approach: "High purpose, high performance, high people" - no choosing between them Strategic Moves: Pricing/packaging optimization, sales motion transformation, customer experience reimagining (new dashboard with 3000+ customer inputs) Leadership Philosophy: Provide a "systems view" to employees, share investor-level insights appropriately, and maintain authenticity during difficult decisions

Robbie Rozelle is back for round two and I think it's safe to say that we are officially off the rails. After passing up lottery tickets to Hamilton at the Public in 2015, Robbie eventually saw it in previews and promptly had an out of body experience, prompting a StubHub debacle the very next day (remember those days?!). Robbie was the creative director of Playbill at the start and eventual astronomical height of Hamilton, so we take a look back on some of the insane fervor of that time and why some of it was probably not very cool (it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me). Plus, we share stories about being in the room for some very famous on-stage mishaps: breaking the fourth wall in Wicked and Gypsy, a drunk Richard Burton furious that they gave him the curtain during Camelot, Bette Midler mugging with a purse in Hello Dolly!, and the famous Emily Skinner/Linda Eder situation for that one night only performance of Jekyll & Hyde.
