Most candidates treat recruiter calls like a box-checking step. But the candidates who consistently land offers treat recruiters like strategic partners - and use them to get real leverage throughout the process.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with our repeat guest, Anneli Scopazzi (Boulevard Talent; former recruiting leader across Palantir, Figma, and Notion) to break down what recruiters are actually incentivized by, what they're looking for in the recruiter screen, and how candidates can use recruiters to prepare more intelligently and avoid preventable missteps.They cover the difference between internal recruiters and agency recruiters, what gets candidates filtered out early, how to ask for “prep” without sounding insecure, what to do when a company refuses to share details, and how to handle compensation conversations without accidentally anchoring yourself into a worse outcome. They also discuss when to save sensitive questions for the offer stage, and how recruiters influence the process behind the scenes (feedback, debriefs, and closing).If you're interviewing in today's competitive market, especially for product roles, this episode gives you a tactical playbook for turning recruiters into an advantage instead of an afterthought.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we go behind the scenes with Alvin Miles Jr. from Toprank Importers — a name synonymous with being the go-to source for importing JDM cars into the U.S.This one is extra special and completely real-time: Alvin literally loads my car onto the trailer live during the episode, walking us through the process and giving insight into what actually goes on behind the scenes when a JDM car makes its journey stateside.We also get an unforgettable tour of an ultra-rare Nismo R34 GT-R CRS, breaking down what makes it so special, why cars like this represent the peak of Skyline evolution, and how Toprank continues to set the standard in the import world.From logistics and trust to passion and preservation, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever dreamed of importing their own JDM legend.

What does it take to build products that feel thoughtful, emotionally resonant, and unmistakably high-quality, especially inside a company that ships fast and experiments constantly?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with Nickey Skarstad, Director of Product at Duolingo, to unpack how one of the world's most beloved consumer apps maintains its bar for craft, clarity, and delight while operating at massive scale. Nickey shares how Duolingo operationalizes quality across teams, how they dogfood relentlessly, and why “unreasonable hospitality” applies just as much to software as it does to service.She also shares the internal rituals Duolingo uses - like their “hot trash” Friday forum for sharing early experiments, and how these lightweight mechanisms help PMs, designers, and engineers learn from each other. Nickey walks through Duolingo's product review process, how senior leaders give feedback, and how the company ensures teams move quickly without shipping work that falls below their quality standards.Whether you're a PM trying to strengthen your intuition, a design-driven leader aiming for higher quality bars, or a product builder exploring how AI should (and shouldn't) fit into your workflow, this episode is full of concrete lessons you can use immediately.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Dans cet épisode, Sean Rea présente en détail la vision du projet FC Supra, une nouvelle franchise québécoise qui ne cache pas ses intentions. L'objectif est clair gagner dès la première année d'existence. Structure sportive, culture de performance et attentes immédiates, tout est mis sur la table.On revient aussi sur l'annonce officielle de la signature de l'académicien Josh-Duc Nteziryayo, un signal important sur la place que le club veut accorder au développement local. Mais la question demeure le FC Supra peut-il répondre aux défis chroniques du développement des jeunes au Québec?Le débat s'élargit ensuite sur les opportunités de prêts pour le CF Montréal. Est-ce que le Supra peut devenir une vraie plateforme de minutes, de progression et de transition vers le haut niveau pour les jeunes joueurs du club montréalais, plutôt qu'un simple passage symbolique?Enfin, direction l'Europe. En Écosse, Wilfried Nancy vit un début de carrière européenne extrêmement compliqué. Résultats décevants, pression grandissante des partisans et critiques de plus en plus bruyantes. La question est posée sans détour en Écosse... faut-il un ajustement tactique rapide ou un changement de tacticien pour renverser la tendance?—

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeWhat actually changes inside a product and engineering org when a company commits to becoming AI-native—not as a side project, but as the new operating system?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with Gaurav Hardikar, VP of Product at HomeLight, to unpack the company's ambitious transformation: an executive team hackathon, ten AI initiatives across tech debt and product debt, and a completely new way of scoping, shipping, and collaborating across product, engineering, and design.Gaurav walks through how HomeLight reshaped their workflows to move dramatically faster, built an AI-powered scoping assistant that consolidates inputs across functions, and created a shared “source of truth” that removes one of the biggest product bottlenecks—misalignment.He also introduces a brand-new role inside the org: the AI Product Builder—what it is, why PMs can't do all of it, and the skills that separate great builders from average ones as AI-native development becomes standard.Whether you're a product leader trying to accelerate your roadmap, an engineer rethinking how AI changes execution, or a PM who wants to understand what skills will still matter in an AI-native world, this episode gives a practical, inside-the-org look at what real transformation requires.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

The Nissan Z is a far cry from the 240Z of old. While it is technically superior to the 240Z of the 1970s, it is dramatically more expensive, even when you account for inflation. The Z was supposed to be an affordable everyman's sportscar. Yet, the new Z's price competes with the Supra, Corvette, and entry level Porsches. Jim Miller and I talk about why that pricing has lead to an early demise of the car, and Nissan's decision to make it an "order-only" vehicle.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeIf you've been hearing phrases like “taste is the only thing that will matter for PMs in the AI era” but aren't sure what that actually means—or more importantly, how to build it—this episode is for you.In this conversation, Marc and Ben sit down with Sachin Rekhi, founder, former LinkedIn product leader, and creator of LinkedIn Sales Navigator, to unpack the real mechanics of taste: where it comes from, how to sharpen it, and why it's already the defining skill of AI-native product teams.Sachin shares the frameworks he teaches inside companies and in his Reforge course—from Rick Rubin's “sensitivity & canon” model, to daily design-critique habits, to the patterns he saw across design-driven, metrics-driven, strategy-driven, and sales-driven org cultures.He also tells the untold story of how Sales Navigator went from a tiny skunkworks project to one of LinkedIn's biggest product lines—why social capital mattered, how he managed leadership skepticism, and how he used prototypes, real customer quotes, and narrative-building to secure executive conviction.Whether you're trying to level up your product intuition, navigate organizational taste cultures, or use AI without slipping into “AI slop,” you'll walk away with practical models you can apply immediately to your product work, leadership communication, and team workflows.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us a textn this fun and fiery episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we break out a the much loved segment: HOT or NOT — where we each bring five items from JDM culture and rate whether they're heaters… or total misses.From niche parts and weird trends to iconic cars and controversial mods, nothing is off-limits. We go back and forth with honest takes, friendly roasting, and a few surprises as we reveal what we think deserves the hype — and what definitely doesn't.

Send us a textThe ancient Rishis, through deep states of consciousness perceived the true architecture of cosmic time, shedding light on why the impossible (like interstellar travel)  is infinitely possible. Vedic knowledge, is not myth. it is memory that sustains within the humanity's DNA. All that we call myth - from the  ancient domain of Africa ( which includes Egypt ), India, China, the great pyramids, Mayan civilization's UN-erasable history- the universal truth etched in our memory- memory to be remembered. A more recent Vedic aeronautic tome called the Vaimanika Shastra written by Pt. Sastry cited the intricate architectural designs implemented in ancient Vedic models for starships such as Ai Atlas and R2 Swan - the design and construction and propulsion of these ancient starships noted untra-dense metal construction and mercury vortex engines and other highly advanced  technologies.  The modern discovery of concepts like ion drives, warp drives and  anti-gravity technology align with the supreme design architecture described in this text which elaborated on ancient Vedic texts such as Ramayana and Mahabharata that noted these flying machines called Vimana, a Sanskrit term: The descriptions of Vimanas as silent hovering craft moving with aquatic grace at unfathomable speeds across great swaths of the universe navigating through known cosmic portals. Vaimanika Sastra surmised the starship's design  complied with Vedic mathematical principles that emulate the natural symmetrical  pulsation and geometrical sequence of the universe. ancient Vedic renditions of spacecraft design would have had to include a timed emission system that is synchronized  to match the pulsation of the cosmic heartbeat generating from Spanda, the primordial vibration.  Its navigation system is rooted in the cosmic code imbued into the spiral of galaxies, a concept founded  in 200BCE by the Vedic mathematician, Pingala in his work on Sanskrit prosody where he surmised the Virahanka numbers, the knowledge of what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence - the cosmic code imbued in the spiral of galaxies, in the full cycle of the DNA double helix, and in various aspects of nature.To help us understand  the impossible timeline being not only possible but holding infinite possibilities listen to the deeper vibration of truth currently resonating in every cell of your being. There is simply nothing to fear  from the arrival of interstellar starships and their Supra-conscious sojourners.Vedic cosmology describes time in vast cycles called kalpas, 4.32 billion years, for example, represent a day of Brahma followed by a night of Brahma of equal length, where the universe is created and then dissolved. This cyclical model predates present day Big Bang theories. The Vedas propose that the universe expands from a singularity and at the end of each Kalpa it collapses into dissolution therein triggering the next Big Bang. This understanding of the Kalpa principle of time offers insights into the bending and folding of cosmic time.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeIn the first-ever live recording of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sat down with Jacob Bank, founder of Relay.app, to unpack one of the most urgent questions facing product leaders today: How do AI agents actually change the way we work? Instead of abstract predictions, Jacob shares the very real workflows, failures, and breakthroughs behind running a 10-person company that delegates work to more than 300 AI agents.Across the conversation, the three dig into what PMs must learn next: writing job descriptions for agents, architecting responsibilities, managing automated execution, and understanding how agents influence velocity, product quality, and cross-functional collaboration. Jacob also discusses why PMs are lagging behind engineering and ops in adopting agentic workflows, and what will happen to teams who don't catch up.If you're a PM, founder, or operator trying to understand how AI is reshaping product development, or you've struggled to translate “agent hype” into concrete, repeatable workflows, this episode gives you a realistic, practitioner-level framework for building with agents today, and preparing for what's coming next.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

The BMW 3-series turns 50 this year, and we celebrate it. We know that it didn't arrive in the US until 2 years later, but that's ok, it's still 50 years old.Our trauma surgeon, Dr Stephan Moran, talks about older cars and how they're not safe compared with new vehicles. He also addresses the particular challenges of teenage and older drivers.CoC addresses the rumored 2027 Toyota Supra V8. We hope Toyota actually makes it, and that if they do, they use a Toyota engine, not something from BMW.Audi will be phasing out the RS3 sedan, which means they will no longer sell an in-line 5-cylinder engine.
