Podcast appearances and mentions of will herman

In this episode I talk to Will Herman about his new book Northern Horizons. The book explores the hills of Cumbria and Scotland in a series of personal reflections illustrated with the author's photography. Will has been a fell racer, a runner, a kayaker and a climber - but his book is primarily about mountain experiences themselves. He takes us on long and often unusual routes which are woven with detail of these precious places and some of their wider human and geologic history.Northern Horizons will be published by Scottish Mountaineering Press on 17th February 2025. Much more than a guidebook, we are transported to the hills, and for many this book will both trigger memories and bring inspiration for future adventures. In discussing the book we delve into the history of the land: the Clearances, deforestation, changing land use as well as changing modern attitudes to these wild spaces which are increasingly commodified and commercialised. Northern Horizons can be pre-ordered online, and will be in bookshops from the 17th February. Will has a website at www.runswithaxes.com which gives further information on his writing and photography.Correction - I translated A'Chailleach as ‘witch' when it is more accurately ‘the old woman'. The stories in the book The Bone Cave by Dougie Strang that I mention often feature a witch figure ‘A'Chailleach'.If you want to buy me a cuppa to help support the podcast, thank you and please do at: https://ko-fi.com/finlaywild

Start a company. Raise funding. Purchase an add-on company. Go public or sell it. These are no small feat. But fruitless, unless you also build a Rockstar team. That’s where Will Herman comes in.

I can tell you from experience with my first company - you should never do a 50/50 founder equity split. Or any math breakout that gives all cofounders equal ownership for that matter. But what should the distribution be? And how does that change when you bring on investors or employees? This area is one of the biggest aspects that most founding teams overlook, and ultimately have messy fights and sometimes fallouts down the road. What better expert to bring in for this conversation than the man I call the Tom Brady Of Entrepreneurship, Will Herman. Will has invested in over 70 companies, he's a 5x entrepreneur with 2 IPOs and 3 acquisitions, a Techstars mentor, and co-author of the book I recommend to every founder, The Startup Playbook. He's been around the block and seen the equity issue come up all too often. In this conversation he shares a path toward dealing with equity and getting it right upfront.Head to startuphypeman.com/articles/will-herman-podcast for a bonus blog post written by Will where he breaks it down even further.

Welcome to episode #628 of Six Pixels of Separation.  Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #628 - Host: Mitch Joel. He's had many exits as a startup founder (over five!). This includes two IPOs, two trade sales and more. He's been in the technology and services space for a long while (and he's seen it all). Maybe you have heard of some of his companies... but maybe you haven't. Rajat Bhargava doesn't care that much, because he likes to build companies (not, necessarily, sexy big brand name companies). It's hard to have a beautiful house without plumbing... the saying goes. This graduate of MIT (with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) isn't just a successful entrepreneur, but he's also an investor. With over twenty years of experience (he's currently the CEO of JumpCloud), Rajat and his business partner, Will Herman, decided to distill their knowledge, wisdom and mentoring startegies into a book. The Startup Playbook is a great read from these two business veterans. If you're in a startup, thinking of launching one, or if you're trying to get your bigger company to think like a startup, this book is for you. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 50:37.

We start with Big Ten basketball and trying to figure out where Purdue stands early in the season with Villanova the only game on their schedule thus far. Michigan State continues to lose its blistering schedule and IU beat Kansas but lost at IPFW. In college basketball the early story has to be Baylor who has stacked up wins against Oregon, Michigan State and Louisville already. Kentucky looks more athletic than normal after crushing the Spartans. Butler has continued their success after a win against Arizona. Blair jumps on the Hoosiers for being overrated again this season. Speaking of overrated teams, we switch to Notre Dame football. Is Brian Kelly going to get fired? After all the hoopla for how many premiere jobs were supposed to be open and then teams like Penn State, Auburn and USC rebounded. Now all of a sudden there just aren't as many jobs for a lot of candidates. Is Houston a good enough job to draw a big name? Lane Kiffin's contract runs out and there are rumors out there. Does he leave Alabama? What do we think of the Todd Herman and Coach O hires? Will Herman be able to take Texas up a few levels? Before we preview the conference championships, who are our top 4 teams right now? How does this whole scenario play out? What's the nightmare scenario? This year seems like the one that leads to a call to go to an 8 game playoff. We move on to Fantasy Football with just one week left in the regular season and look at the potential playoff match ups. With Pops on the outside looking in Blair has him predict who he think is in. We move on to the NFL with more up and down play out of top teams, so who wins? Who are the division winners and playoff teams? Who wins the NFC North and who are the Wild Cards? We make our conference championship picks at this point in the season. For his beef Blair goes after these stories that have come out that have not been true and is sick of it, especially after an election that has proof that fake stories greatly swayed public opinion.
