    This 1982 animated film - and a fave of Anney's as a kid - was often labeled an 'Anti-Disney' cartoon, and rightly so. The plot follows a unicorn searching for answers, a bumbling magician, and a woman struggling with her age. We delve into themes of love, regret and loneliness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Ry Walker, serial entrepreneur and founder of Tembo.io, walked away from his first company, Astronomer.io (yes the Coldplay one) during their $213 million Series C in 2022. The company was doing tens of millions in revenue. Now, he's building Tembo.io, an AI developer teammate that's already processing 1,000+ merged pull requests for 200 organizations just 2 months after pivoting. He previously co-founded Astronomer in 2015, which has raised $380-390 million total and is now estimated at $80-100 million ARR, but took a rare secondary exit in 2022 to return to his true passion: early-stage building.

This one is huge for a lot of us, especially in tough economic times. ✔️ Julia's assignments involve "archaeology." Where did your ideas about scarcity come from? I argue that, in many cases, they aren't even your own.✔️ Criticism stings. A jerk who leaves a nasty comment hurts your feelings.

    In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Joseph Landes, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Nerdio, to explore how one conversation at a Microsoft conference led to a billion-dollar cloud automation company. From his 23-year career at Microsoft to building a fully remote team now supporting over five million users, Joseph's story blends strategic risk-taking with deep industry insight. We unpacked how Nerdio grew from a startup idea in 2018 to a company that just secured 500 million dollars in Series C funding. Joseph walked me through the early days of building the business alongside co-founder Vadim Vladimirsky and how they focused on simplifying Microsoft Azure for IT professionals and MSPs. Their goal was clear: make cloud management easier, faster, and more cost-effective through automation and policy-driven governance. But this episode wasn't just about cloud optimization. We also dug into Nerdio's fully remote culture and the intentional design behind it. Joseph shared how initiatives like appointing city mayors, launching the Nerdio Break Room, and hosting an annual global kickoff have helped maintain a strong sense of community and accountability across 350 remote employees. We also discussed why Nerdio does not compete with Microsoft. It enhances and extends Microsoft's products, helping customers navigate Azure complexity while staying aligned with Microsoft's fast-changing roadmap. This customer-centric strategy, coupled with deep product knowledge and agility, has been key to Nerdio's ability to scale without losing focus. Looking ahead, Joseph shared his perspective on why AI and continuous cost optimization will shape the future of enterprise IT. He made a strong case for simplifying IT operations, empowering professionals, and turning savings into reinvestment opportunities. In an era of complexity and noise, Nerdio's growth story is a reminder of what can happen when you combine deep platform expertise with a culture that truly listens. How is your organization turning cloud complexity into an advantage rather than a barrier?

    When Konstantin Dzhengozov turned down a corporate development role in the U.S., he wasn't walking away from opportunity—he was running toward a different kind of growth. Having helped lead the FP&A function at a fast-scaling Bulgarian tech firm through its acquisition by a U.S. public company, Dzhengozov knew what came next if he stayed the course. But “the unknown… just felt right,” he tells us. So he stayed close to Bulgaria's booming startup scene—and co-founded Payhawk.In the early days of Payhawk, Dzhengozov was a one-man finance team, juggling everything from chart of accounts and payroll to fundraising and compliance. “You kind of become a bottleneck at some point,” he tells us. “The sooner you realize that, the better.” His approach: build ahead of need. His first finance hire brought Big Four audit expertise. Next came senior hires in FP&A and tax as the company expanded across Europe and the U.S.Rather than compete as another card issuer, Payhawk positioned itself as a software company from the start, charging a subscription to solve real pain points Dzhengozov had faced firsthand: poor data visibility, lack of control, and disjointed processes. The company's dual-revenue model and international-first mindset helped it raise $240 million and become Bulgaria's first unicorn, he tells us.Today, Dzhengozov envisions AI helping CFOs compress decision cycles and model complex scenarios instantly. Still, he remains grounded in principle: “Finance should be enabling the business to grow,” not just reporting on it.

Now he's back with a sequel, Scaling Innovation, which reveals how to build enduring businesses by dominating both market share and wallet share. He recently left Simon-Kucher to launch his own fund, 49 Palms, focused on helping early-stage AI companies.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The 2x2 framework that identifies your optimal pricing model2. Why AI companies can capture 25% to 50% of value created, vs. 10% to 20% for traditional SaaS products3. Why popular AI coding tools may have already doomed themselves with underpricing4. The “give-and-get” framework top negotiators use to extract maximum value from every deal5. The negotiation strategy that helped one founder 4x their deal size overnight6. How to frame POCs as “business case creation” instead of technical demos (and why this changes everything)7. Why AI companies must get monetization right from day one—not “figure it out later”8. How companies like Intercom's Fin and Sierra pioneered outcome-based pricing (charging $0.99 per AI resolution)9.
