Uri recently published his book, "Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution". We talk about some of the themes from the book as well as some stories from his own career. A message from this episode's sponsor - My Mentor Path This episode is sponsored by My Mentor Path. I'm a passionate advocate for mentoring and believe it to be one of the highest-leverage activities you can undertake to get ahead in your career. I try to do my part, but am but one man, so I helped set up this FREE mentoring community to try to help out at scale. Sign up now as a mentor, a mentee, or both! Episode highlights: There are no right or wrong decisions, only the decision you make right now Uri is often asked if selling Waze was the right decision, but you can only make decisions based on the information you have. It's more important to make a decision than wait for the perfect decision. Find a problem you care about, but you are a sample of one You should be passionate about the problem you're solving, but don't assume that anyone else cares as much as you do or wants to solve it the way you want to. You have to get out & speak to people who have the problem If you're afraid to fail then, in reality, you already failed When you're building something no one has built before, you never know if it'll work. You need to experiment, fail fast and have multiple shots on goal. The faster you fail, the sooner you can have another shot. Product/Market Fit does exist & it is measurable If you're not creating value, people won't come back. Retention is the most important way to measure P/MF & make sure that the solution to your users' problem is actually valuable. Getting people to value quickly is essential. B2B & B2C product management share the same goals You might have different customers who care about different features, but they all care about something. The metrics might differ, but the ultimate goal is to deliver value & solve a real pain for all these different people.

Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

Two people can go through the exact same potentially stressful situation with one of them remaining calm and happy while the other gets stressed and anxious. The difference between them stems from their perspective on the situation. The more of a baal bitachon a person is, the better he'll be able to handle the situation. Imagine, Person A comes and sits down next to Person B and starts annoying him. B tries to ignore it, but A persists and just keeps getting more and more annoying. At some point, B is most probably going to explode. But what if B is told that A was sent by his prospective employer to test his patience? All of a sudden, he wouldn't feel irritated anymore. And what if he was told that each time A tries to annoy him, he gets $10,000 deposited into his bank account? Then, his heart would be filled with joy each time that person tries to annoy him. In actuality, this is what is happening each time any challenge is sent a person's way. It's Hashem testing his patience and depositing millions into his spiritual bank account, based on his reaction. A baal bitachon knows that Hashem is behind everything and reacts accordingly. I read a story of a dress maker who made a wedding gown for a bride. The families were good friends and so the dress maker's entire family attended the special Shabbat morning seuda celebrating the upcoming wedding. At that meal, the bride came over to the dress maker and, in a loud voice, started berating her for the horrible job she did on the dress. The woman was humiliated in front of her entire family. She decided to be from those who keep quiet and, instead of lashing back, she asked Hashem to bless her sister with a child. Her sister has had a very difficult time having children. The last one she had was more than five years prior to this. Less than 10 months later, that sister had a baby. This is a very typical story, but the chiddush is that this dress maker looked at that circumstance as Hashem giving her an opportunity to bring about a yeshua , rather than viewing it as some young girl humiliating her for no good reason. Rabbi David Sutton related that Rav Yehuda Ades, shlita , told him one of the main things a person has to work on in his life is to not let anything bother him. The Rabbi asked the Rosh Yeshiva, “There are so many things that could happen during the day to make a person at least a little upset. For example, if the airline switched the terminal and you only find out when you get to the first terminal. Or what about if you are driving somewhere and your wife or your daughter puts the wrong address in the Waze and you end up in the wrong place. Or what about if you take a taxi and instead of it going to East 10 th Street, it goes to East 100 th Street?” The Rosh Yeshiva answered, “You are supposed to think to yourself that Hashem sent an angel down from Shamayim to whisper into those people's ears to go to that wrong address or to change that terminal because that is what He wanted. We may never know why, but it was for sure the best thing that could have possibly happened.” The more we internalize that only Hashem runs the world, the better we'll be able to handle anything that comes our way.

There are some natural tensions that creative pros must wrestle with in order to remain effective. One that I wrote about in The Accidental Creative is what I call the process vs. product tension, which describes the dynamic of compromising the process in order to pre-maturely shape the product to match pre-defined expectations. Instead, we must embrace the process, ask good questions, and pursue the problem. On the first part of this episode, I share some thoughts about how to embrace process.Today's interview features Uri Levine, founder of Waze and author of the new book Fall In Love With The Problem, Not The Solution.

The world has no shortage of problems. Luckily it has people like Uri Levine, creator of Waze and Moovit, serial entrepreneur, and author, who fall in love with problems and solving them. As a testament to his passion for challenges, "Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution" is the title of his new book. This podcast tracks Uri's journey from a kid who thought he'd be an engineer because he wanted to build things to a globally successful CEO. Uri doesn't fear not succeeding, thanks to his Dad, who never stigmatized failure for trying out an idea. Uri's inherent curiosity drove him to evolve from software engineer to product manager to entrepreneur, tackling Israel's traffic congestion. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing. Hear firsthand how they believed Google's AI navigation announcement was the death knell for Waze, but the competition spurred investment in the company a month away from running out of cash. Uri urges aspiring entrepreneurs to not give up because the journey will be hard. He mentioned the many iterations created by Waze trying to solve customers' problems. He encourages entrepreneurs to make decisions with conviction, including the hard ones like firing the wrong fit. When you fail, fail fast; this gives you time to try another approach or strategize something new. He digs into why entrepreneurs should begin by focusing on a problem, calling it the North Star. Without it, you'll take a longer route and possibly get off-course in your decision-making. Keep asking "who has this problem?" Speak with potential customers and hear their version of the problem so you can work towards finding solutions for them. The wisdom from Uri Levine shared throughout the podcast affirms that it takes courage, conviction, and many other essential traits to become a successful startup entrepreneur or CEO. Tune in to hear his approach first hand.

Uri Levine was frustrated by traffic jams on his commute and found validation that the problem was widespread. His solution was to co-found Waze, the crowd-sourced GPS navigation platform which became a major competitor to Google Maps before being acquired by Google for $1.4 billion.But Uri's new book,  Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs is not the story of Waze. It's not one story about entrepreneurship. It's completely an A-to-Z handbook for entrepreneurs with so many specific sections, like:How to do a demo,How to build a slide deckHow to make an effective presentationHow do you evaluate a term sheet?What metrics do you use to measure the growth of your company?How do you manage investors, fire people, and hire people?What deal terms need to be negotiated for the exit?This is such a valuable guide, it really is, and today's conversation builds upon these principles. Listen on as Uri & James discuss all of these topics and more, including:Waze built its maps using user GPS data, why did the first 1000 users download Waze? (00:11:22)The 4 Stages of Users: Innovators -> Early Adopters -> Early Majority -> Late Majority (00:13:14)What percentage of successes are problem-based vs innovation-based?

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

Was "Judgment Night" just "The Hangover" for the '90s? Was it just "Adventures in Babysitting" but for bros? Or was this 1993 urban thriller a truly experimental film with a pioneering rap-rock soundtrack to match? Loading up a cast with Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Dennis Leary, Jeremy Piven, Stephen Dorff and Everlast (yes, that guy from House of Pain) seems like a safe way to score a box-office hit, but believe us when we say this movie brought out the weirdest parts of their acting abilities.  If you've ever wished your dude friends didn't get married, Waze had never been invented and Chicago's South Side never got gentrified, "Judgment Night" is the movie for you. If you're the type of person who can't keep quiet while being hunted by killers, this movie will make you feel understood. If you're a fan of beautiful hair, slasher movies and bringing a belt to a gunfight, you're in luck. Just don't forget your cowboy boots and fishbowl RV.

Hour 1: There is not much of an update on the Damar Hamlin situation. The NFL is keeping the week 18 schedule as is right now. They also announced that they will not be finishing the Bills/Bengals game this week. Jerry has audio from Damar Hamlin's uncle who provides an update on the situation. We also heard from players who talked about putting their careers and lives on the line every day. David Tepper talked to Jim Harbaugh to see if there is interest in the Panthers job. We have great audio from Chris Simms vs the Sportscenter instagram account. Giannis scored 55 for the Bucks last night. The Rangers scored 3 times in the final period to beat the Hurricanes and Islanders won in Vancouver. In the final segment of the hour, Carlos Correa put out an Instagram pic of him and his son wearing baseball eye black and getting to work. We also talked about Jim Harbaugh as an NFL Head Coach.  Hour 2: Gio is already predicting the Giants/Vikings on Wild Card weekend with the Giants winning and breaking his Vikings' heart. The Eagles are 14 point favorites over the Giants since the Giants will most likely be resting players. Mikey Nichols calls in to talk about the Damar Hamlin injury. We talked about Nate Burleson wearing Louboutin sneakers. Gio said he once donated his wife's shoe collection by mistake when they were moving. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Damar Hamlin's Uncle appearing on CNN to talk about his nephew's progress. Aaron Rodger's talked about the dangers of football on the Pat McAfee Show. Ken Rosenthal expects the Mets deal with Carlos Correa to be dramatically different than was first expected. Jerry went around the NBA last night. Dana White talked to TMZ about a video that surfaced of him and his wife slapping each other in a bar. The Rangers beat the Hurricanes with 3 goals in the third. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer tells us of a traffic adventure he had Monday. Does Waze sometimes not send you the fastest route because it doesn't want everyone going the same way? A caller wants crumple zones on helmets. Another caller wants magnets that repel each other in helmets to soften the blow.  Hour 3: Gio wants Zach Wilson to start this week with the message of play loose and let it rip. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Julian Love talking about the Damar Hamlin injury. Jerry Jones was asked about resting players and he doesn't like that idea. Giannis had a huge night for the Bucks, scoring 55 points. We also get confused by the saying ‘don't duck smoke'. The Sacramento Kings announcer has been calling their games for 37 years now. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wants to know how much an offensive coordinator affects a QB.  Hour 4: There is a crazy video of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green passing him the ball even though you can't see it. A caller says Zach Wilson is a douche for sleeping with his mom's friend. Another caller says Bill Belichick is the one who ruined Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first Gio tells us he's doing dry January. Jerry also had Neil DeGrasse Tyson on when Boomer & Gio were off and Eddie wrote in with a very confusing question. The Jazz thought they won the game and the announcer went crazy. But, they didn't. Chris Simms has some tough talk for the Sportscenter Instagram account. In the final segment of the show, Gio said the Giants fans are all over him in the newsroom. Dov was one of them and he also has bad breath today. If you could ask Zach Wilson one question today, what would it be? Boomer said he wants to watch film with him. Eddie plays a hilarious drop which is worth listening to.

Uri Levine - Co-Founder of Waze and Author of Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs           If you are afraid to fail, in reality, you have already failed. Uri Levine is a passionate entrepreneur and disruptor, a two-time ‘unicorn' builder (Duocorn). He is co-founder of Waze, the world's largest community-based driving traffic and navigation app, which was acquired by Google for $1.1 billion in 2013, and former investor and board member in Moovit, ‘Waze of public transportation', which was acquired by Intel for $1 Billion in 2020. Levine has built more than a dozen startups and has seen everything ranging from failure, midlevel success, to immense success. Unicorns—companies that reach a valuation of more than $1 billion—are rare. Uri Levine has built two. Levine is co-founder of Waze, —the world's leading commuting and navigation app with more than 700 million users to date which Google acquired in 2013 for $1.15 billion—and his second unicorn, Moovit. Dubbed “the Waze of public transportation,” Moovit was sold for $1 billion to Intel in 2020. In his new book, Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs, with a foreword by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, Levine reveals the formula and key components of building a successful start-up that drove those companies to compete with industry veterans and giants alike. Significant tech companies in the world today—Tesla, Waze, WhatsApp, Facebook, Uber, Netflix—were start-ups not that long ago, but Levine believes the next generation of entrepreneurs will make an even bigger impact. As a mentor and teacher, Levine intends to help entrepreneurs disrupt inefficient markets and improve under-functioning services, to focus on solving society-wide problems while saving consumers time and money. Barrett Young - Senior VP Fleet Safety Strategy at Netradyne     Our automobile driving artificial intelligence has almost 37,000 years' worth of training. Barrett Young is a strategic and innovative leader with half a decade in fleet safety and fleet management technology and over a decade of integrated marketing experience for both B2B SaaS and B2C companies. He has developed and led strategic go-to-market initiatives of advanced safety technology and the roll-out of the ELD mandate. He is passionate about GTM analysis and has a fury for big thinking and innovation that scale companies and revenue. With roads increasingly more crowded with delivery drivers and commercial vehicles, driver safety is top of mind for everyone. Between road risks and driver safety concerns, small and medium businesses (SMBs) with fleets face unique challenges in today's climate. In fact, a recent survey revealed that two-thirds (66%) of decision makers at SMBs with fewer than 1,000 employees and five or more vehicles in their commercial fleets are making financial decisions based on immediate needs instead of safety. Smart tech and A.I. driving solutions may make staying on top of driver safety and saving money easier for these owners. With businesses making safety a priority for their fleet of drivers, this keeps all drivers safe on the road.
