Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Peter Robbins, author of The Trader's Journey: Navigating the Path to Trading Success, for a practical, honest conversation about what you need to know about success in trading. Peter shares top lessons from over 40 years of trading experience. He explains why most traders begin with almost no understanding of risk, why the first question should be "Why are you trading—and should you be trading?", and how a gap in mentorship quietly derails even smart, hardworking people. They dig into the foundations that matter: realistic expectations, aligning your trading style with your real life, adapting to changing market regimes, and the uncomfortable truth that psychology—execution under pressure—is often the real edge. If you're tired of vague motivation and want a clear framework for building a sustainable trading career, this episode will help set your standards—and give you a blueprint you can revisit as you grow.

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into high-performance strategies for business coaches—drawing lessons from Olympic athletes, the psychology of winning, the keys to building (and keeping) momentum, and the art of leveraging staff, referrals, and advertising for exponential business growth. Packed with practical frameworks, real-life stories, and Karl's signature analogies (from roller hockey to dolphins), the episode reveals why elite coaches and businesses succeed—and how listeners can replicate their approach for long-term results. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Olympic-Level Success Karl Bryan unpacks how the athlete's journey mirrors that of the ambitious business owner or coach—both must manage mindset at the beginning, middle, and end of their journeys. Lessons are drawn from Olympic stories, including Lindsey Vonn's career, transitions, and the psychological challenge of what happens "after the medal." Momentum: How to Build It and Never Lose It Elite performers hit the gas pedal after success, not before. Signing a client? Double down and sign another instead of celebrating too long. Karl shares why consistency outpaces one-time effort, and actionable habits for coaches to lock success rhythms in. Staffing and Leverage for Big Results Big goals require teams—not solo grinds. Karl explains the value of hiring "first-round draft picks" and why one A-player can outperform five mediocre hires. Firmness, not harshness: How to foster high standards and resolve staff conflict with presence, empathy, and accountability. The Power of "Selling Through, Not To" (Joint Ventures) Deep dive into referral and JV strategies: Why working with partners like accountants, business brokers, and promotional companies can 10x (or 50x) your business. Step-by-step: How to structure win-win "test drive" arrangements to gain referrals and scale with minimal cold outreach. Advertising: Shortcut to Growth or Costly Trap? Karl distinguishes between rushed, ineffective "hope" ads and smart, operating-system-led campaigns. Why many business owners should fix their system first, then advertise, and how to teach clients this discipline. Consistency and Demonstrating What You Want to Attract Building disciplined, consistent habits (like daily emails, weekly events) attracts committed, disciplined clients and JV partners over time. Notable Quotes "The elite hit the gas pedal after success. The non-elite celebrate too long." "You have to fall in love with the process, not the destination… If you hit the goal, and you don't have another, you fall backwards." "Don't do your best. Do what it takes." "Your biggest accomplishments will come through other people." "Advertising to profit is a superpower… but it's not a shortcut. You need an operating system first." "Hire slow, fire fast… The one who gets the best player wins the trade." "Demonstrate it, then you'll attract it—discipline is magnetic." Actionable Takeaways Always Set the Next Target: After you land a win—a new client, a successful event, or a JV, don't pause to celebrate. Immediately schedule and line up the next one to keep momentum compounding. Book Events in Batches: If live events work for you, don't book one—book ten at a time. This creates ongoing pressure and forward motion. Hire for Excellence: Treat each team addition as a draft pick. One top performer can be worth a handful of mediocre staff. Cultivate excellence and resolve conflict with empathy, not harshness. Initiate JV 'Test Drives': Approach JV partners (accountants, brokers, ad reps) by solving their biggest pain points—run a no-risk "test drive" for 3 clients and let your results sell you. Don't Rush Advertising: Before running ads, ensure the "operating system" of your business (or client's business) is air-tight—cost control, clarity of offer, and ability to handle leads. Leverage Proximity Marketing: Use lawn signs, "Good Neighbor Programs," and hyper-local advertising for service businesses—it's often the cheapest, most effective form of ad spend. Serve and Demonstrate Consistently: Showing up every week, delivering value, and embodying discipline/consistency will magnetize your ideal business partners and clients. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software 2.0 (by Karl Bryan)—business coaching's premier toolkit to help maximize client results and command high fees. Focused.com—Daily emails, coaching frameworks, and software demos for business coaches. The Six-Figure Coach Magazine—Karl's free magazine for business coaches. Networking/JV Sources: Target accountants, business brokers, advertising sales reps, and promotional companies for high-value partnerships. Good Neighbor Program: Local marketing system for service pros.

In the latest episode of the Radical Reformers podcast, Andrew Laird is joined by Zina Etheridge, recently appointed Chief Executive of Buckinghamshire Council, to explore to explore her relatively unique experience of leading in central government, in a council and in the NHS. Zina highlights that place matters more than ever, and the conversation centres on a powerful idea we truly believe in here at Mutual Ventures: councils should be much more than service providers. At their best, they are place-makers and conveners, uniquely placed to bring partners, communities and systems together to help communities thrive and succeed. Zina reflects candidly on the distinct pressures that are on senior leaders in different parts of the public sector,  the challenges of reforming complex systems, and why bravery is required to shift resources and power in meaningful ways, even when short-term performance risks feel uncomfortable. Genuine community empowerment can't be imposed from the centre or done in a one‑size‑fits‑all way. It depends on local context, trust, lived experience and the confidence to share power. If you're working in local government, the NHS or the wider public sector, or thinking about the future of place-based leadership,  this is a thoughtful and timely listen.

The collaborative nature of open source is often overlooked by both individuals and companies ate first. Contrary to that, many projects and initiatives only succeed when they are developed in an open and collaborative environment. Think about successful, long-living programming languages as an example.In this My Open Source Experience podcast episode Ildiko is chatting with Brad Chamberlain about the Chapel project. CHapel is an open source programming language that Brad and the community has been developing and maintaining for over 20 years now. It was originally created for supercomputers and HPC use cases to provide a language that is more efficient for machines and programmers alike. However, over the years PCs and laptops evolved to the level of parallelism that Chapel became more widely usable in the industry. Have you tried it already?Learn more about:- The Chapel programming language- The consideration and study behind the Chapel project being created as open source- Creating an open source project before GitHub existed- Sometimes you need to aim for the skies over simplicity- Moving Chapel under the High Performance Software Foundation (HPSF) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dig into what truly separates a busy interior design firm from a wealthy and resilient one. After leading my own firm for more than 30 years through booms, recessions, and market contractions—and coaching design principals for over 15 years—one truth is clear: busy does not equal rich. Busy doesn't equal resilient. And busy certainly doesn't mean your firm is built to last. This conversation walks through the five pillars of a rich firm—margin, model, messaging, management, and momentum—and how to strengthen each one, especially in uncertain markets. Because when conditions shift, resilient firms don't panic. They lead. They hold standards. They protect profit. And they become the safest investment in the room. In this episode, you'll hear: (00:50) Why being busy is not the same as being wealthy—and the real definition of a "rich" design firm (03:19) The critical difference between firms that run on personal effort and firms that run on structure (07:21) The five pillars of resilience: margin, model, messaging, management, and momentum (10:32) How profit quietly leaks through unlimited revisions, vague scope, and loose agreements (14:08) Three fee model upgrades that protect margin, capacity, and cash flow—even when leads slow down (24:40) Why relationship assets—not hope or social posting—stabilize your pipeline in uncertain markets You're invited to The Designer Profit Intensive, a one day, in person, workshop at HPMKT, to redefine your business success with a rate restructure, custom marketing plan to capture your ideal clients organically, and proven design discovery to capture those same clients and deliver a remarkable design experience guaranteed.

Podcast Summary This episode of the How To Succeed Podcast features watch entrepreneur Alan Tsao of the Tsao Baltimore Watch Company, tracing his journey from childhood fascination to launching a successful watch brand. After an initial manufacturing failure and losing early partners, Alan persisted, refined designs, leveraged mentorship, and achieved a breakout 2017 Kickstarter that far surpassed its goal via low-cost, gamified marketing. Tsao built trust with global manufacturers through in-person visits, grew through proactive behaviors and strategic partnerships (National Bohemian, McCormick Old Bay Seasoning, the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles, and the University of Maryland Athletic Dept.), and is developing notable projects like a Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge watch - using actual bridge steel - with profits donated to victims' families after the fatal bridge disaster in March, 2024. Join us, as Alan emphasizes attitude, learning from failure, community-building, and advises aspiring entrepreneurs to take action and, "Just Do It".   Chapter 1: Introduction to the How to Succeed Podcast 00:00:02 – 00:00:40 Dave Mattson frames the show's focus on the "success triangle" of attitudes, behaviors, and techniques. He sets expectations for peeling back how top performers think and act. Chapter 2: Meet the Guest and Topic 00:00:40 – 00:01:15 Host Chris McDonell welcomes guest Alan Tsao of Tsao Baltimore Watch Company and outlines the plan to explore Alan's entrepreneurial journey. Alan acknowledges the journey's challenges and rewards. Chapter 3: From Childhood Fascination to Passion Project 00:01:15 – 00:03:35 Alan traces his love of watches to a gift at age ten and explains his obsession with mechanical movements. As his career advanced, he built a 35–40 watch collection before deciding, with a nudge from his wife, to start designing his own watches. Chapter 4: Early Missteps and Losing Initial Partners 00:03:35 – 00:07:03 While working in property management, Alan looped in executives as early partners and sourced a manufacturer via a quick Google search. The first prototypes were low quality, scaring off his partners; he refunded them and bootstrapped forward, seeking advice from other microbrands to refine designs and supply chain. Chapter 5: Attitude—Learning From Failure and Pushing Forward 00:07:03 – 00:11:23 Prompted by Sandler's "attitude" lens, Alan reframes failure as learning rather than stopping. He emphasizes determination, confidence, and never giving up, aligning with the concept of "failing forward" to refine processes. Chapter 6: Breakthrough Kickstarter and Lean Marketing 00:11:23 – 00:14:58 After vastly improved prototypes, Alan launched a 2017 Kickstarter with a $45,000 goal, surpassing it in three hours and finishing at ~$115,000. He attributes traction to a $500–$800 gamified referral campaign that generated ~2,000 emails and ~25% conversion.

Every organization, at some point, has their ethical boundaries tested. But there is a difference between an organization with ambition and drive, and one that pushes its people into unrealistic, unhealthy and disastrous behaviors in order to succeed. Today we're talking about the slippery slope into destructive and dangerous corporate behavior, with professor of business ethics at HEC Lausanne, Guido Palazzo. Guido says the patterns into darkness are obvious, completely avoidable ... and quite counter to what we're told makes for a successful corporate culture in business schools.---Learn more:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Guido on LinkedInTake Guido's online course on unethical decision makingGuido's book The Dark Pattern on Amazon---⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!---Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

What if growth isn't about adding more, but about letting something go? In this episode, Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey shares what happens when a heart-based, aligned career (literally) drifts out of its lane, and why “getting back to normal” isn't always the goal.   We dig into gold-star chasing, inherited “shoulds,” and small experiments in self-knowledge that help you notice what's draining your energy. And we talk about the ripple effects of intentional subtraction, how letting go can change the way you show up at work, in leadership, and at home. This conversation is a permission slip to stop adding by default and start asking a more compassionate question: What can I release so I can live and lead more intentionally?

Particulate matter is, Michael Greenstone argues, the greatest public health threat on the planet. Worse than HIV, cigarettes, and alcohol. The average person  loses about two years of life expectancy to it. In India, the figure is three and a half years. The solution to this problem has been tested, and it works, at least in high-income countries.Greenstone and his co-authors ran a randomised controlled trial in Surat, Gujarat: from 300 industrial plants, mostly making textiles, all burning coal, half were randomly assigned to a market where pollution permits could be bought and sold. The results: in the market, pollution fell 25%, compliance was near-perfect, and abatement costs dropped 12%. The cost-benefit ratio is as high as 200 to one. Many plants in the control group asked to be moved into the market.The research behind this episode:Greenstone, Michael, Rohini Pande, Nicholas Ryan, and Anant Sudarshan. 2025.

His research focuses on the costs and benefits of environmental quality, including the Air Quality Life Index, which tracks the toll of particulate pollution country by country. He previously served as Chief Economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. Research cited in this episodeAir Quality Life Index (AQLI), Energy Policy Institute at Chicago. The source of the life-expectancy statistics used in this episode: particulate pollution costs the average person on Earth roughly two years of life expectancy, with India averaging three and a half years. The index tracks this burden country by country, city by city.The US sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade programme, established under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, was the canonical precedent Greenstone cited: a market that dramatically reduced acid rain in the eastern United States at costs far below pre-programme projections. He noted that the UK and EU have since built comparable CO2 markets. All have worked well. The question this experiment addressed was whether the same logic held in the developing world, where almost all the pollution now is.Emissions Market Accelerator. An independent scale-up organisation founded by Greenstone and colleagues to replicate the Gujarat model beyond the original research setting. Current pipeline: a statewide sulphur dioxide market for Maharashtra (including large power plants, not just textiles), and advanced conversations in Pakistan and Brazil. Within Gujarat, a water pollution market is also in development.More VoxDev Talks on this topicRegulating pollution in low- and middle-income countries Rohini Pande and Nicholas Ryan, two co-authors of the paper discussed in this episode, on the political economy of pollution regulation in developing countries: why enforcement is hard, and what makes it work.Air pollution and infant mortality Jennifer Burney on the health costs of particulate air pollution for young children, and what the evidence from Saharan dust patterns across Sub-Saharan Africa reveals about exposure and mortality.The Social Cost of Carbon Michael Greenstone's earlier VoxDev Talk, on how assigning a monetary value to carbon emissions can drive better policy decisions and make the case for action that regulation alone struggles to make.Related reading on VoxDevReducing air pollution: Evidence from payments to reduce crop burning in India How cash payments to farmers in northern India changed behaviour and cut the seasonal haze from crop fires that pushes Delhi's air quality to its worst each winter.Paying to pollute: How carbon offsets actually raised emissions in China A cautionary study on market-based pollution controls: when incentives point the wrong way, a market can make things worse rather than better.The effect of pollution on worker productivity: Evidence from call-centre workers in China Air pollution reduces cognitive performance and output, adding an economic productivity argument to the health case for cleaning the air.

Everybody wants to succeed at a higher level. But when the road gets narrow, and it requires choosing one thing over everything else? Suddenly, options look a lot more appealing. On this episode, I'm breaking down what higher-level success actually demands — and it's not another planner, app, or podcast. It's narrowing your identity, staying in your lane long enough for your brain to adapt, and doing the reps until it clicks. This isn't motivational poster talk. It's what I've seen work with smart, talented people who are playing at 70% and want more. Featured Story Before Joy came into my life, I was all over the place. I was good at what I did, but I was just moving and floating around doing stuff. It felt fantastic at the time. I had no real lane. Then Joy walked in, and Joy doesn't do scattered. She's a repetitive person — same things, every single day. Drove me absolutely insane. For years. But before I knew it, I was doing the same things. Eating right. Working out most days. A real routine was forming. Repetition rewarded me, and it got easier because I didn't have to think about it anymore. She changed everything without saying a word. Important Points Higher-level success isn't complicated — it's uncomfortable and demands narrowing your identity to one lane. Operating at your natural strengths gives you leverage, and leverage beats hustle every single time — every time. Knowledge isn't wisdom — wisdom only shows up after you've made mistakes, because experience is earned, not downloaded. Memorable Quotes "You can't play at a high level as a generalist — the world rewards specialists, and your brain rewards repetition." "Most people quit right before their identity shifts, right before things click — that's exactly when you need to stay." "Drop the ego, pick a lane, get to work. It's deceptively simple — which is exactly why so many people miss it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify your natural wheelhouse — not what pays the bills or sounds impressive — and commit to going deeper, not wider. Put in the reps and stay in your lane long enough for your brain to adapt — that's when mastery starts to click. Spend more time doing than learning, and then hire a coach to catch the blind spots you'll never see on your own.

Joshua Celis, Marine Corps Combat Veteran, in Episode 236 of the Transition Drill Podcast, shares his 23-year career, combat deployments, and transition, where he explains the emotional and practical challenges of stepping away from the uniform, the importance of early preparation, education, and networking, and the reality that senior rank doesn't automatically translate to civilian success.Josh was raised between Houston and a tiny East Texas town got pulled out of a rough track, found structure through sports, and then chose the Marine Corps when college felt out of reach. From the start, Joshua's story is about momentum, consequences, and learning the hard way that “I don't have time” usually means “it's not my priority.”He talks about early fleet life in communications, including getting shot in the head in while stationed in Hawaii that exposed how differently the military handled injuries back then and what he'd do as a senior leader looking back. From there, his career builds: deployments that came faster after 9/11, a first Iraq deployment in 2005, and then as a sergeant, leading in Afghanistan, advising Afghan Army counterparts while managing the pressure that comes with real responsibility. He also talks about the “yin yang” of recruiting duty in Houston, returning to the operating forces, and how key mentors and leaders shaped the way he led Marines as he moved into senior ranks.The second half of the conversation is all transition. Joshua explains why he started planning earlier than most, how education and certifications changed his options, and why senior leaders often need the most space to detach and reset. He breaks down SkillBridge honestly, including what didn't work, the stress of rejection, and how networking, making friends, and showing up in person is what finally landed him a role in San Diego with Northrop Grumman. He lays out what he'd do differently, what most people underestimate, and what actually carries you through when the uniform comes off.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

What if everything we've been told about math education is backwards? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Ted Dintersmith,venture capitalist, filmmaker, and author of the upcoming book Aftermath: The Life-Changing Math That Schools Won't Teach You to discuss why our schools are still teaching low-level math mechanics that phones and AI already do perfectly. You can learn more about Ted's work at What Schools Could Be. Ted shares his journey from the world of high-tech innovation to becoming a "code red" alarmed citizen advocate for radical school change. We dive into how high-stakes exams are inadvertently training students to compete with AI in areas where computers are unbeatable, while ignoring the creative and conceptual math, like probability, decision-making frameworks, and estimation, that actually shapes lives. From Moneyball statistics to the dangers of misinterpreting healthcare data, Ted explains why math should be a tool for empowerment rather than a metric for punishment. We also take a "lightning round" trip through Ted's prolific career, including his work with the late Sir Ken Robinson and his influential documentaries Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice. Whether you're a parent trying to preserve your child's curiosity or an educator looking for a more relevant curriculum, this conversation offers a refreshing and urgent blueprint for what school could be.

Send a textAre you working harder than ever yet feeling less visible, less fulfilled, and more burned out in your career?In this episode, I sit down with leadership strategist and Forbes senior contributor Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey, Nell 3D, to challenge one of the biggest myths mid-career professionals face today: that doing more is the only way forward. We explore how strategic subtraction can actually help you become more effective, more influential, and more fulfilled in your work.If you are navigating a tough job market, feeling stuck under ineffective leadership, or wondering how to sustain performance without burning out, this conversation will help you rethink how you show up at work. Nell introduces her practical Stop, Drop, Roll method, a framework that helps high performers pause, remove draining habits, and redesign their workdays so their energy creates bigger results.We discuss real stories of leaders who cut unnecessary meetings, redesigned team rituals, and reclaimed personal time while still improving team outcomes. We also tackle real mid-career challenges, including dealing with a difficult boss, maintaining confidence in a slow job market, and learning how to stop carrying expectations and criticisms that drain momentum.If you are holding onto a role for stability while trying to protect your long-term career prospects, you will also learn why strategically cruising at seven instead of ten can actually extend your runway and help you perform where it matters most.This episode offers permission and practical tools to step back, gather honest data about how you spend your time and energy, and make smarter decisions about what deserves your attention.If you are a mid-career professional looking for career clarity, stronger leadership presence, or a smarter job search strategy, this conversation will help you see how doing less of the wrong things can help you achieve more of what matters.Mid-career success is not about grinding endlessly. It is about choosing where your effort creates the most impact. Often, the smartest career move is not adding more. It is subtracting what no longer serves you.Connect With Nell 3DLinkedIn | Website | SubstackSupport the showVisit https://johnneral.com/resources to: Grab my free 15-minute audio briefing about why doing good work at mid-career is no longer "good enough."
