    Southeast Asia's venture market is not in a downturn. It is in a structural winter, and mid-2026 is when that distinction stopped being academic. Kristie Neo returns to break down what is actually happening across the region: Singapore's IPO revival is real but is being carried by data centres and REITs rather than homegrown tech; allocators now rank Southeast Asia at the bottom of Asia behind China, India, Japan, Korea and ANZ; and a generation of growth-stage companies is being kept alive past the point where a merger or a wind-down would have served everyone better. Jeremy Au and Kristie also work through what could actually restart the funding ladder, from encouraging tech M&A and fixing university IP commercialisation, to tax incentives for angels and support for syndicate leads who can assemble the $1 million to $5 million rounds that Singapore currently cannot fill. If you are a founder raising in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand or Malaysia, or an LP trying to work out where capital goes next in Asia, this is the honest state of the market.

    Instead of interviewing a guest, Travis is joined in the studio by producer Eric for a conversation about what entrepreneurs can learn from an unexpected source: the movie industry. Using the success of low-budget horror films, bootstrapped startups, and high-profile business failures as examples, they explore why constraints often produce better products than unlimited funding. From startup fundraising to filmmaking, this episode is packed with practical lessons on building sustainable businesses that prioritize profitability over hype. On this episode we talk about: Why low-budget films often outperform massive Hollywood productions The business lessons entrepreneurs can learn from successful movie franchises Why bootstrapping can be a better path than raising venture capital The hidden costs of giving investors control over your company How companies like Quibi illustrate the dangers of overfunding and overspending Top 3 Takeaways Constraints encourage creativity. Whether you're building a business or making a movie, working within a budget often leads to better decisions and stronger products. Raising money isn't the finish line. Venture capital is a tool—not a measure of success—and founders should validate their business before seeking outside investment whenever possible. Focus on profitability instead of perfection. Launch early, iterate based on customer feedback, and avoid overinvesting in features or polish that don't generate meaningful returns. Notable Quotes "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, then you've launched too late." "The number one rule we have is just don't go over budget. Play within the sandbox, but stay in the sandbox." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

    SHACK15 Conversations welcomes Agata Mroczkowska, COO of Teleport, whose career has spanned some of Europe's fastest-growing technology companies, including Foodpanda and Booksy.Growing up in a small town in Poland, Agata's world expanded through the mentors, teachers, and experiences that encouraged her to think beyond the limits of what she could see. Those experiences eventually led her to help scale two unicorns before co-leading Teleport, a San Francisco–based residency accelerator supporting exceptional international founders as they build and grow in Silicon Valley.In this conversation, Agata reflects on what hypergrowth really looks like from the inside, the fine line between ambition and burnout, and why the greatest opportunities often begin with someone expanding your sense of what's possible. Ultimately, this is a conversation about building more than companies, it's about building the confidence to imagine a bigger future.

Jason shares his journey from building and exiting a successful business to launching Blue Unicorn alongside Dr. Luke Tolley and creating a protein bar that challenges everything consumers expect from healthy food. We dive into the realities of bringing a physical product to market, earning shelf space, building a brand from the ground up, and balancing growth with purpose. Blue Unicorn's plant-based, allergen-friendly protein bars are manufactured in Utah and have quickly gained traction by focusing on taste just as much as nutrition. Whether you're launching your first startup, building a consumer brand, or looking for practical lessons from someone who's been through multiple entrepreneurial journeys, this conversation is packed with insights on persistence, product-market fit, leadership, and creating something people genuinely love.

Broadcasting Rights liegen bei 5,3 Milliarden, Ticketing und Hospitality bei 3,6 Milliarden, Marketing Partnerships bei 3,3 Milliarden; zusammen werden in der Periode rund 13 Milliarden umgesetzt. Host Cities tragen Infrastrukturkosten, die FIFA organisiert das Event komplett und erhält das Upside; die Host Cities erhalten in dem Modell nicht proportional etwas zurück. Datenschutz dominiert datengetriebene Modelle. Ein Aachener Startup sammelt Daten durch Kameras bei einer kostenlosen Wohnungsreinigungsdienstleistung, um AI zu trainieren. Die Praxis greift das Google-Playbook „Daten gegen Daten“ auf und wirft Privatsphären-Fragen auf; in Europa wird über strengere Datenschutzregeln diskutiert. Hypothese: Datenschutzregeln könnten künftig stärker regulieren, was Datenzugang für neue Geschäftsmodelle bedeutet; Unternehmen müssen damit rechnen und ihre Modelle entsprechend planen. Mila: Familien-Concierge im WhatsApp-Chat. Mila bietet einen dreiteiligen Family-Concierge im WhatsApp-Chat: Kalenderpflege, Einkaufs- und Aufgabenmanagement, Reminders. Der Plan sieht vor, das als Minimalprodukt mit wenigen Features über Chatbots (WAPI.cloud/WAPFLY) und Make.com zu prototypen; Ziel ist eine einfache, alltagstaugliche Koordination mit minimalem Setup. Konkrete Umsetzungspfade liefern die vorgestellten Tools und der Vorschlag, den Chat als zentrale Koordinationsschnittstelle zu nutzen. Roll-Up-Strategie alpine Hotels.

    In this episode, Kristen is joined by author Andrew Newman to explore how reconnecting with your inner spark can help you heal from trauma, move beyond fear and perfectionism, while cultivating greater joy, self-worth, and authentic self-expression.   You will learn:  Why creativity is a powerful pathway for healing trauma, building self-worth, and reconnecting with your authentic self. How perfectionism, comparison, and fear of judgment quietly block creativity and practical ways to move through them. Why just 20 seconds of courage can help you overcome resistance and finally bring your ideas into the world. How a simple nighttime reflection practice can rewire your inner dialogue, strengthen confidence, and support emotional resilience. Why following your spark instead of your trauma creates lasting personal growth, deeper fulfillment, and a more creative, conscious life.

    Happy Independence Day, early. I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. What a great country we have. God's gift.We have every right to blow our own horn.The good news no matter what the issue is our president. America has a leader.I will credit Kennedy as a leader. Then Reagan. Both these guys changed the trajectory of the presidency.Washington has spent decades running a casino where the house always wins, the games are rigged with ideology, and the customers keep paying for tickets that promise occasional jackpots that never seem to come.Then along comes a guy who looks at the whole operation and asks, “How can this casino be losing money?”That is Donald Trump in a nutshell. He is the political unicorn America did not know it needed until the deficits kept piling up and the same arguments kept circling the drain. In this first segment of our arc on Trump the pragmatist, we zero in on the sheer anomaly of the man himself, the one who treats government like the badly managed enterprise it has become rather than a permanent stage for team colors and emotional theater.Trump saw government the way a builder sees a collapsing structure. Old-school business did not care about your feelings or your donor list. It cared whether the numbers landed in black or bled red. Government, by contrast, has run in permanent red for longer than most voters have been alive, borrowing against tomorrow to fund today's slogans. The result is a system where problems are not solved; they are weaponized for the next election cycle. Career politicians from both aisles perfected the art of keeping issues alive just enough to stay relevant. Trump walked in without that training. He saw a leaky roof and reached for the ladder instead of forming a committee to study the symbolism of the leak.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Most founders build one unicorn. Naveen Tewari built two.InMobi started with a simple bet: mobile would become the world's most important computing platform, and advertising could make it free for everyone. Every Indian VC said no. Naveen flew to San Francisco on a maxed-out credit card and returned with a $7 million round from Kleiner Perkins and Ram Shriram. Later came a $200 million investment from Masayoshi Son. Overnight, InMobi became India's first unicorn. Then he did it again.Glance, built quietly inside InMobi over three years, is now one of the fastest-growing consumer apps in the US, with more than 10 million monthly active users in the US.The thesis behind both companies is the same. The world's most powerful technologies, first mobile and now AI, only reach masses when someone figures out how to pay for them. Naveen believes advertising is that mechanism, and that InMobi is uniquely positioned to subsidise AI access at population scale, just as it helped subsidise mobile a decade ago.If you want to understand how one founder from India has quietly helped shape two technology eras, this episode is for you.00:00 - Trailer00:57 - Why Naveen became a founder03:26 - How co-founders met and came together11:33 - The pivot from mKhoj to InMobi15:02 - Can AI be subsidised for mass consumption?16:12 - Expanding globally before the US18:29 - Which industries can delay entry to US market?20:53 - What is Glance?23:55 - Incubated within InMobi for 2 years25:17 - What changes when you face failure in public?29:10 - How the SoftBank round changed InMobi32:53 - Maxing out credit cards to pay bills38:18 - $7Million Kleiner Perkins & Ram Shriram round43:07 - Hypergrowth journey: Series A to Series C45:41 - $200 million funding from Masa53:31 - Change of VC ecosystem in India54:34 - How building for B2B differs from B2C58:50 - How AI is changing InMobi and Glance-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Und wir pitchen uns GeschäftsideenMach das 1-minütige Quiz und finde eine Geschäftsidee, die zu dir passt: digitaleoptimisten.de/quiz.So erreichst du uns:Sprachnachricht senden: https://www.speakpipe.com/digitaleoptimistenEmail schreiben: alexander@digitaleoptimisten.deLearningsSehr gut: Unsere Ideen werden geklautDie Folge dokumentiert, dass Base Power batteriebasierte, distributed Kraftwerke baut und Samuel behauptet, die Amerikaner hätten seine Geschäftsidee geklaut. Daraus folgt, dass Ideenklau im Startup-Umfeld ein reales Risiko ist und man sich darauf einstellen muss. Es wird deutlich, dass es weniger um die Idee als um deren Umsetzung geht, um sich klar zu differenzieren.Hypothese: ID-Prüfung spaltet InternetHypothese: Die Diskussion um Fable 5 legt nahe, dass eine ID-Prüfung nötig sein könnte, damit Zugang zu leistungsstarken Modellen geregelt wird. Es wird weiter diskutiert, dass dadurch ein zweigeteiltes Internet entstehen könnte, mit unterschiedlichen Nutzungsregeln und Pricing je nach Nation. Unternehmen sollten Strategien für Regulierung, Compliance und Pricing entwickeln, um sich auf solche Szenarien vorzubereiten.Titel zählen nichtLloyd Blankfeins Aussagen zeigen, dass Titel in der Karriere nicht entscheidend sind; wichtiger ist, was man praktisch fürs Business leistet. Eine klare Denkregel lautet: Sich proaktiv in Meetings reinsetzen, Verantwortung übernehmen und Ergebnisse liefern statt auf einen besseren Titel zu warten. Für Unternehmen gilt: Incentives so gestalten, dass persönliches Ziel der Mitarbeitenden mit den Zielen der Firma in Einklang stehen.Never waste a crisisDie Diskussion fasst zusammen, dass Krisen Egos reduzieren und Teams auf gemeinsamen Kurs bringen; never waste a good crisis. In Startups kann eine Krise genutzt werden, um Entscheidungen zu beschleunigen und strategische Schritte voranzutreiben statt zu zögern. Dabei ist wichtig, dass Führung authentisch bleibt, der Kontex muss aber stimmen, damit Aussagen nicht missverstanden werden.Keywordsbatteriebasierte verteilte kraftwerkebase powerheat angelai sherpafable 5 ki-modelldreigeteiltes internetid-prüfungaids sleep matratzennever waste a good crisisguardrails aushebelnverteilte energienetzeenergiemanagement software smart gridai coaching für vorständeklimaanlagen markt deutschland trendheat angel hitzewarnung gesundheitsschutz

    What are kosher animals? What are non-kosher animals? That is, from the signs listed in the Torah for domesticated and non-domesticated animals -- such as split cloven hooves and chewing its cud (for the former category). Ditto re birds -- excluding predator birds, where the forbidden ones are listed explicitly (or perhaps for the sake of deriving a general rule). Likewise for the few kosher creepy-crawlies. And fish (fins and scales). Plus, what if there is no tradition with regard to a certain animal (eg: duck; turkey). Also, the signs of the undomesticated - which might seem superfluous, but they permit the special fat, which might appear to be incorrect, so it's explicit. Plus, a unicorn. With caveats on the horns making various goats and their cousins

    Per NBC Sports Boston's Chris Mannix, the Celtics' real trade target isn't Donovan Mitchell, it's Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, and Anthony surprises Ken by saying he'd actually pull the trigger on it. Ken pushes back hard, arguing Mobley's talent is too tantalizing to give up and that the move solves a wing problem while creating a new one on the interior, leaving Dean Wade as the team's primary frontcourt defender. They pivot into an argument over whether Jarrett Allen, not Mobley, should be the one on the trade block given how much he's outperformed his bargain contract and helped win multiple Game 7s. The segment ends in chaos when a caller named Will claims the Knicks are overrated two weeks after winning the championship, and the guys roast him for one of the worst calls they've ever taken.

    Why do your deepest, most emotional songs come out better when you stop trying so hard?In this episode, I sit down with Nashville legend Bobby Bare Jr. - fearless songwriter, creative instigator, touring bassist for Guided By Voices, and the son of Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare. This conversation is a masterclass in real creativity, free of pretension and full of joy, humor, wisdom, and truth bombs about songwriting, gear, life, ego, and the artistic process.We dig deep into Bobby's philosophy that the most powerful songs often come from the most playful moments - not the heavy, serious headspace many writers force themselves into. He tells wild and meaningful stories, from growing up backstage at the Opry, to working with Shel Silverstein, to learning 60+ Guided By Voices songs at once, to the Dalai Lama cracking jokes at the Tibetan Freedom Concert.Bobby talks about writing on airplanes, co-writing momentum, muscle memory, the Nashville Number System, meditation, removing ego, and why melody can't be taught. We even get into his early days selling T-shirts on tour with his dad, the lost demos at Alex the Great, tape machines popping out of record, Jason & The Scorchers, R.E.M, Walk the West, and the magic of the first spontaneous four minutes of an idea before “your brain ruins it.”He also shares insights on finishing songs, why momentum matters more than inspiration, how to cheat with an iPad without anyone noticing, producing at Ocean Way, working with Travis Harrison, and his upcoming Indiegogo to record a new album in Sweden.This one is packed with gold for songwriters, musicians, producers, and anyone trying to break out of their head and into flow.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1z4nv7oyqGM8BLkQckfnBn?si=9301F66ZRHGNFpBrKT0d0wIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/563

    What if the most important person advising your company was never on the org chart? Dennis Cagan invented the trademarked Shadow CEO® role in 1983 and has spent four decades being exactly that person for some of the most successful companies in America. With 74 boards, multiple CEO stints, including one public Unicorn, and a keynote at the very first COMDEX show in 1979, Dennis has seen every version of what separates the CEOs who execute from the ones who just plan. In this episode, Dennis shares the famous chalk mark story that explains exactly why knowing where to apply expertise is worth more than the expertise itself. He breaks down what it takes to succeed in disruptive times, why a B-grade idea with an A-team beats an A-grade idea with a B-team every single time, and what the one thing is that was always present in every CEO who made it through when everything was working against them. This is the conversation your board wishes it could have.
