How did a largely home-grown, part-time team from southern Sweden come within one goal of conquering Europe — and help change the way an entire country played football?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with the remarkable story of Malmö FF between 1978 and 1980.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by regular guest Phil Craig to revisit a period when ABBA were conquering the charts, Björn Borg ruled Wimbledon and an unfashionable Swedish football club was quietly preparing to take on Europe.At the centre of the story was young English coach Bob Houghton.Appointed in 1974, Houghton introduced a clearly defined 4-4-2 system built around zonal marking, collective movement, pressing, physical preparation and an organised defensive line. His methods challenged Swedish football's traditional reliance on sweepers and man-marking.Rather than importing expensive stars, Houghton transformed a predominantly local squad. Many of Malmö's players combined football with other employment, yet together they developed an understanding and tactical discipline capable of troubling Europe's biggest clubs.Their extraordinary 1978–79 European Cup campaign took them past Monaco, Dynamo Kyiv, Wisła Kraków and Austria Wien. The semi-final was settled by Tommy Hansson, a player who had already agreed to drop into lower-league football because he needed a secure job.Malmö became the first — and remain the only — Swedish club to reach the European Cup final.In Munich they faced Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest. Weakened by injuries but characteristically organised and resilient, Malmö were defeated 1–0 by Trevor Francis's famous diving header.Their European adventure was not quite finished. When Forest declined to contest the Intercontinental Cup, Malmö faced South American champions Club Olimpia, losing 3–1 across two legs staged in Sweden and Paraguay.Jamie, Graham and Phil explore the personalities, tactical innovations and cultural circumstances behind the achievement. They also examine the wider influence of Houghton and fellow English coach Roy Hodgson, whose ideas helped reshape Swedish football and provided foundations later built upon by Sven-Göran Eriksson and IFK Göteborg.Finally, Malmö FF face the question asked of every team on By Far The Greatest Team.How great were they?

And how important is Sunday's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final to the seasons of both clubs?The panel hear from Derek McInnes and Martin O'Neill, debate their preferred starting XIs, assess the impact of new signings on both sides, and take calls from supporters looking ahead to one of the biggest games in Scottish football.
How did two Argentine World Cup winners, a pair of Wembley classics and one unforgettable European night turn Tottenham Hotspur into one of English football's defining teams of the early 1980s?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with the story of Tottenham Hotspur between 1978 and 1984 — six years in which Spurs embraced international talent, rediscovered their taste for trophies and became pioneers both on and off the pitch.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by regular guest Stu Burgess to revisit the eventful reign of Keith Burkinshaw.Freshly promoted in 1978, Tottenham made an extraordinary statement by signing Argentina's World Cup winners Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa. At a time when overseas footballers remained a rarity in England, their arrival brought ticker tape, global attention and a completely different footballing culture to White Hart Lane.The transition was not always easy, but Burkinshaw gradually assembled a wonderfully entertaining side. Glenn Hoddle supplied imagination and technical brilliance, Steve Perryman provided leadership, while Steve Archibald and Garth Crooks formed one of the most effective attacking partnerships in English football.Then came Wembley.Spurs defeated Manchester City after a replay to win the 1981 FA Cup, with Steve MacKenzie's spectacular volley almost overshadowed by Ricky Villa's extraordinary solo winner — one of the most celebrated goals in the competition's history.Twelve months later, Tottenham returned to Wembley and defeated Queens Park Rangers, again after a replay, to retain the trophy. The football, the iconic kits and the unmistakable sound of Chas & Dave made Spurs one of the defining teams of the era.The story also contains a much darker warning. Tottenham's 1981 semi-final against Wolves witnessed a serious crowd crush at Hillsborough, exposing safety failings that English football tragically failed to address properly.By 1983, Tottenham were changing away from the pitch as well. Under Irving Scholar, Spurs became the first European sports club floated on a stock exchange, embraced shirt sponsorship and participated in the first live Football League match shown on British television for 23 years.Football was becoming a television product and a global business — and Tottenham were standing near the front of that transformation.The era concluded with the 1984 UEFA Cup.Following a dramatic run through Europe, Spurs faced Anderlecht in a two-legged final. Graham Roberts forced the decisive equaliser at White Hart Lane before goalkeeper Tony Parks became the hero of the penalty shootout.It was Tottenham's third major trophy under Burkinshaw — and his final match as manager.Along the way, Jamie, Graham and Stu explore the near-miss involving Diego Maradona, Hoddle's emergency appearances in goal, the evolution of Tottenham's famous Le Coq Sportif and Umbro kits, the later controversy surrounding Anderlecht and Burkinshaw's memorable farewell:“There used to be a football club over there.”Finally, this talented, innovative and occasionally chaotic Tottenham side faces the question asked of every team on By Far The Greatest Team:How great were they?

How did one of England's most famous clubs find itself in the Second Division — and did Tottenham's year outside the top flight ultimately help transform English football?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with Tottenham Hotspur's 1977–78 promotion season — a story of relegation, recovery, final-day tension and the beginnings of a new era at White Hart Lane.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by regular guest Stu Burgess to revisit a moment when Spurs were searching for a way forward.The glory years under Bill Nicholson were over. Tottenham had finished bottom of the First Division in 1976–77, while the controversial sale of legendary goalkeeper Pat Jennings to Arsenal added to the feeling that the club had lost its direction.But Spurs kept faith with manager Keith Burkinshaw.With Steve Perryman providing the leadership and a young Glenn Hoddle revealing his extraordinary talent, Tottenham attempted to return to the top flight at the first opportunity.They scored more goals than anyone else in the division, including an extraordinary 9–0 victory over Bristol Rovers, during which debutant Colin Lee scored four times. Yet a late-season wobble meant promotion remained uncertain until a tense final-day goalless draw at Southampton secured third place ahead of Brighton on goal difference.Jamie, Graham and Stu examine the drama of the campaign while asking whether Tottenham's promotion represented a convincing recovery or simply a narrow escape.The story then moves into the summer of 1978.With restrictions on overseas players being relaxed, Burkinshaw and Tottenham made the remarkable decision to sign Argentina's World Cup winners Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa.They were not part of the promotion team, but their arrival became the defining next chapter in the story that promotion made possible — changing Tottenham and helping open English football to a more international future.Along the way, there are the usual football-history rabbit holes, including changing transfer regulations, wonderfully dated broadcasting and the cultural impact of two Argentine World Cup winners arriving in north London.Finally, the 1977–78 Tottenham side faces the question asked of every team on By Far The Greatest Team:How great were they?Style of PlayKeith Burkinshaw's Tottenham remained committed to attacking football throughout their season in the Second Division.Glenn Hoddle supplied vision, creativity and technical class, while Steve Perryman provided energy, intelligence and authority.Spurs scored 83 goals in 42 league matches and could overwhelm opponents when everything clicked. However, this remained a transitional and occasionally vulnerable side — ambitious, entertaining and rarely inclined to achieve anything the easy way.

How did a supposedly friendly curtain-raiser become one of Wembley's most infamous matches — and just how great was Kevin Keegan?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team begins with the story of an English football institution: the Charity Shield.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn trace its wonderfully strange history from the Sheriff of London Charity Shield, professionals against amateurs and shared trophies, through unusual qualifiers and changing formats, to the point where the traditional season opener became established at Wembley.And that brings us to 1974.English football was emerging from a turbulent period. Attendances were falling, hooliganism was rising, England had failed to qualify for the World Cup, Bill Shankly had unexpectedly resigned from Liverpool, and Brian Clough had just walked into Leeds United.Then Liverpool met Leeds at Wembley.What followed became one of the defining Charity Shield moments: aggression, confrontation, Kevin Keegan and Billy Bremner becoming the first players sent off at Wembley, and a penalty shootout that eventually decided the game.Along the way, Jamie and Graham head down some classic football-history rabbit holes — including referee Ken Aston, the origins of yellow and red cards, how violence and controversy helped reshape football's laws, and why penalty shootouts eventually became part of the game.The episode then turns its attention to Kevin Keegan.European champion. Twice European Footballer of the Year. England captain. Hamburg superstar. Newcastle hero. Pop-culture celebrity.But Keegan's greatness goes beyond the trophies. His willingness to take risks, move abroad, reinvent himself and embrace life beyond the pitch made him one of the most recognisable British sportsmen of his generation.For the first time on the podcast, the Greatness Index is introduced as Jamie and Graham ask not simply whether Kevin Keegan was great — but attempt to measure, score and rationalise exactly how great he really was.Style of PlayThe 1974 Charity Shield brought together two of English football's dominant forces.Liverpool, transitioning from Bill Shankly to Bob Paisley, combined organisation, movement, possession and increasingly sophisticated collective football.Leeds United, champions under Don Revie before his departure for the England job, arrived with the physicality, experience, competitiveness and edge that had defined one of the outstanding English teams of the era.At Wembley those characteristics collided.What should have been a celebratory curtain-raiser instead became a wonderfully revealing snapshot of English football in 1974: talented, fiercely competitive, combustible and on the verge of enormous change.

Everyone stop what you're doing—yes, yes, the rumors are true, the Fortress has released our 2025/26 Season Review! We might be a little embarrassed that it's been nearly two months since our last episode, but we're far more excited to finally bring to you our reflections on this past year of Fantasy Premier League. Overall, although it's been an underwhelming campaign for both Jacob and I, we still have a great time discussing our nominations for this season's superlatives (for better or for worse), standout XIs (for better or for worse), and highlight moments (for better or for worse). For this year's lessons learned, both of us have decided, independently of one another, to frame them as questions instead of statements—perhaps a salute to the idea that there is no single “correct” way to play FPL. And yet, at the end of the episode, we resolve to set a few rules for ourselves next season, in an effort to formalize our attempts to strive asymptotically along the path of constant betterment.Follow us on Twitter: @FplFortress
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we're looking back at our worst transfer XIs from the autumn, to see what we got wrong and what we got right. How do we judge someone like Gyokeres? Are United fans deluded about Cunha? And is Mateus Fernandes not only good, but worth the £85m West Ham want for him?Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing Instagram art, housework, and pineapple on pizza.If you enjoy the podcast please consider subscribing at patreon.com/Patrickvs!
The USMNT's official 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and there is a lot to unpack. Mauricio Pochettino's squad blends experienced veterans from the 2022 World Cup with a new generation of talent, and in this episode we break down the biggest surprises, roster omissions, projected starting XIs, and what realistic expectations should be for the United States heading into a home World Cup. We also dive into the FC Cincinnati angle with Miles Robinson's potential role in the tournament, compare this roster to the 2022 squad in Qatar, and discuss whether this is the strongest USMNT group of the modern era. With the World Cup officially here, this roster announcement gives us our clearest picture yet of how the United States plans to compete on home soil in 2026.
The Ivy have kicked off their 2026 season! Vinecast's Kate and Allan take a look back at how the first two matches went, from starting XIs to goal breakdowns to how the team fared at the back. Listen now before the Ivy does it all again this week!
Toppmötet mellan USA och Kina är över och vi ringar in de viktigaste beskeden och ögonblicken. Xi varnade Trump om Taiwan och ville samtidigt hamra in en ny stor roll för Kina på världsscenen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Iran, Taiwan och handelstullar fanns på agendan när Xi Jinping tog emot USA:s president Donald Trump i Peking. Sveriges Radios korrespondent Moa Kärnstrand som bevakat hela toppmötet på plats ger unika bilder och ringar in de viktigaste ögonblicken från tvådagarsbesöket. För Kina och Xi Jinping kan besöket beskrivas som en PR-framgång. Bilden på de båda ledarna framför det historiska Himmelens tempel i södra Peking rymmer tung symbolik för Kina, samtidigt som Trump upprepat hörts smickra Kina och Xi under besöket. Xi varnar för konflikt mellan Kina och USAInsynen i de konkreta förhandlingarna har varit begränsad. Men enligt kinesiska utrikesministeriet ska Xi under mötet ha framfört ett varnande utspel om Taiwan, där Xi pratar om att hanteringen av Taiwan kan föra Kina och USA till en ”extremt farlig plats” och att det är något som kan riskera att leda till en konflikt. Under det pågående statsbesöket gav USA:s utrikesminister Marco Rubio en intervju med NBC News där han menade att USA:s position om Taiwan är oförändrad. Medverkande: Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent. Hanna Sahlberg, Kinareporter.Programledare: Björn DjurbergProducent: Therese Rosenvinge

Piyush Jain, Founder and CEO of Simpalm and co-founder of Ducknowl, is on a mission to solve real-world challenges by combining technology and entrepreneurship. With over 15 years of experience building custom software solutions, Piyush helps businesses turn complex ideas into practical applications by blending technical depth, business acumen, and a strong problem-solving mindset. We explore Piyush's AI Ideation Framework—Validate idea, Proof of concept, Design, Competitor analysis, and Feature selection—a practical approach to building software in the post-AI era. Piyush explains how AI can help teams better understand user personas, validate product assumptions, and rapidly prototype ideas, while human expertise remains essential in design, architecture, and production-grade development. He also shares how prompt engineering, peer-reviewed prompting, and a right-shoring delivery model can help businesses build smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively. — 3D Print Your Software with Piyush Jain Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint, and my guest today is Piyush Jain, the Founder and CEO of Simpalm, a custom software development company, and the co-founder of Ducknowl, a candidate screening and assessment application business for high-volume recruiting. Piyush, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Thanks for inviting me. Well, I’m very curious about the stuff that you have to share with us, and I’d like to ask first about your personal purpose. What is your “why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business? Yeah, so that’s a very interesting question. And I think for every entrepreneur or tech founder, really, that's the motivation—why you want to do certain things. So for me, if I look at it, my personal “why” is: why are we not solving challenges? Or why are we not solving them the right way? Why are we not transforming our lives? I grew up in India and then came to the US, so I've seen many different parts of the world—from Asia to North America. I see people face different challenges, but then we are not focusing on solving those problems. A lot of it I see is there’s a lot of challenges in the world because I believe there are not enough entrepreneurs. Because entrepreneurs are the ones who really take risks, combine everything, and create solutions. That was like me, right? That’s what I learned growing up, that I think I can do that, right? I can combine the technical knowledge and the business acumen and create solutions that people like, solve their challenges. Growing up, like I'm more on the technical side.Share on X I was inclined more toward science and technology, but then as I got into my undergrad and grad school, I realized that I have that entrepreneurship aspect, but it's still around science and technology. That’s when I realized that, you know what, I cannot be a pure scientist or maybe a pure entrepreneur, but I can be someone who can combine these two, because my main driving factor is problem-solving. I can combine these two and then live my life, be very happy with what I do. That has been my motivation. I like it. So solving challenges and being an entrepreneur, and kind of combining the two—being the technical expert and the entrepreneur in one. Now, one of the things that we always talk about on this podcast is frameworks. And you have developed a really good one for AI ideation, which I think is something that everyone needs to do these days or use these days, and it helps you create business apps and other business applications. Can you share with me how that framework works, and what are the steps in it? Sure, yeah, definitely. So just to give you a brief background, we've been building software for the last 15 years. Some companies have used different frameworks, whether it's Agile or Waterfall in SDLC, in building the software, right? There are different methodology that companies have used, and they've been good, successful—they've played their role. But now, with the advent of AI, things have changed. We had to figure out, in our organization, how to use AI, and that's how this framework was built. My team helped me building this framework as well.Share on X But we realized that we were losing business—we were losing clients—since we didn't have an AI framework that would fit our clients. Again, for me, it's a challenge. So anytime I see a challenge, it create brain juice in me, right? So I said, okay, let's figure out how we create this framework. How did you do it? So really, we built this framework—very interesting. A lot of the steps are similar, but then a lot of things are different.Share on X Whenever client comes to us and says, “Hey, we want to solve this challenge,” what we do is we do enough research. And now we use a lot of AI tools to really understand the problem better and understand the user persona. When you build any software application, there is a person who's going to use that. Sometimes we used to do user research or focus studies to understand that. Now, with the help of AI, we can get a lot of ideas about the user persona. For example, maybe we are building a healthcare application for an anesthesiologist. I don’t know much about that. I know, I mean, because I have been through some medical surgery and all that, but I can't fully understand their user persona or their requirements with respect to the application we're building. But now, with AI, I can actually ask different AI models, “Hey, we are building this app for anesthesiologists. What are their pain points? How would they see it?” So all that deeper mindset and psychology we can get using AI. You are validating the idea by interrogating AI applications. What users are going to like and all that. So I will always use this term earlier. In software engineering, now we have this pre-AI and post-AI, right? If you read history, we talk about before Christ and after Christ, right? Yeah. So it's a similar thing now. Yeah, exactly. Or before Covid, after Covid. Before AI, after we did all the user research and everything and created a requirements document, we would usually do design, create like a visual design of the software. But now, with the AI framework, we don't do that. That's not the next step. What we do instead is create a quick prototype using AI platforms.Share on X So there are a lot of AI platforms—like Lovable, Claude. Now ChatGPT launched Codex for coding, and Replit. Depending on what kind of application you're building—for example, maybe if you're building a web-based application—then I recommend using Lovable or Replit. They're very good at creating that. Whatever software you want to build, whatever user personas that you’re addressing, you can feed into that and it’ll create like a prototype application. Okay. So what that does is actually, then this prototype, clients can just take it to their customers or internal users and get feedback. A picture is better than a thousand words. Organizations discussing an idea is very different from when they actually see something. Then everybody starts chipping in—“Oh yeah, I see this in the prototype, but I don't want this,” or “I want to move things around,” or “This is what I want.” Basically, building a prototype on AI platforms is much faster than building wireframes and design prototypes like we used to do earlier. So that has changed. So you're 3D printing your software, right? Yes, exactly. There you go. Well, that’s a very good way you put it together. Yeah. So, yeah, exactly. You’re just 3D printing the software, right? So you can see it, visualize it, and then once you go through that, it creates a lot of better ideas about the software in faster time. So once you have that, then you go into UI/UX design. So in that also, there are two steps. One is wireframing. Wireframing is like creating the flow in black and white. It's like creating a skeleton of your software. It does not have the color, the font, or the branding, but you just create all the different user journeys, the screens, the flow, and the fields that will be there on the screen. So we have integrated AI into that step as well. Earlier, it used to be created by a designer or a business analyst. Now we are using software like Uizard or UX Pilot, where we define what we want—what kind of user journey, flows, and screens—and it creates that. It spins out those wireframes in minutes. So really that has reduced now. The time it used to take to create wire frames is faster now. So you're designing the wireframes with AI? Yes, but it's just the wireframe part of it, and it's still guided by our expert VA or designer—someone who knows how to really visualize things and has done a lot of wireframes and sketches. So they know what to tell the AI. Prompting is very important. It's very important that you know how to prompt—what to ask for—so that you can get variations and differentiation in the wireframes. You don't want a standard AI-created wireframe. Everybody can recognize AI-generated images now, right? If I show you one, you'd say, “Oh yeah, it's AI-generated.” I know that, right? Yeah. So again, we keep the human intelligence. We're not asking AI to create the full software end-to-end. It never works—it'll never work. It just doesn't. I know that's a strong statement, but I'm saying that based on experience and an understanding of human behavior and psychology. So AI agents will not be able to code software, in your opinion? No, they can do the coding, but they cannot build the whole software end-to-end—a production-deployed software. Because these software are being used by humans. You have to have human intelligence to understand and define what you need and how it works.Share on X You can maybe create some software, but it doesn't work very well. Even if you use all these platforms, you can cut down your production time and cost by 30%, 40%, 50%, right? That's the number we are seeing—30 to 50% reduction, depending on the software you're building and the objectives. So just to recap—you validate the idea by interrogating Claude and ChatGPT, asking about the needs of that customer, the psychology of the customer—that's step number one. Step number two is 3D printing the software with Lovable or Replit—so proof of concept. And then you design the wireframes. And then what's next after you design the wireframes? What's the next step? So that’s a good thing. That’s it. Now I'm going to talk about the human element—some people listening to this podcast will be surprised. Now it comes to visual design, right? So you've created the skeleton, and now you have to add the skin, the tone, the color, the emotion to the design, to the workflow. Now, we have tried AI, but it doesn't work. It's very monotonous. So we use an experienced visual designer, a UX designer, for that step—to give it emotion. When you use AI—I wish I could show you some examples—it creates very similar kinds of designs for apps and software. So what we did is we gave it three different apps with very different objectives and everything, and the designs it came up with were very similar—blocks, buttons—very monotonous. So there's no differentiation. And design is the main thing that becomes the differentiator, right? Yeah. So that's what we learned from our experience. And I say that very categorically in all of my talks—that visual design, final UX, has to be human, not AI.Share on X Because you are communicating emotions, right? And AI is still not there to communicate emotions. Yeah. It doesn’t have emotions. Well, some people will argue with you and say, “No, it can understand if you're sad or unhappy.” But my response to that is—it's because we've programmed it that way. But things change based on situation, context, ethnicity, culture, fear—how people express nervousness, fear, and all that—it's very different. So there was this AI video interviewing company five or six years ago. They were sued by the Department of Justice because they were trying to detect emotions of people like anxious, nervous, when the interview was happening. It turned out their model was trained only on one race—they didn't account for other races or ethnicities. So their model failed, and they were sued by Department of Justice for that. So yeah, emotions is something—maybe they have unlimited dimensions, we don't know. So it's hard to program that. So basically: ideation, prototype, wireframe, and then final visual design—that's the discovery and design framework. Now, when it comes to development framework, this is where AI has been a game changer—the coding part. But again, you have to be very careful about how you use AI in your coding pattern with your coding team. It depends on the application, it depends on the tech stack, right? Every platform has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you want to build a web-based application in the React JS framework, then Lovable is great. That's very good—very efficient and cost-effective. Then Claude is there. Claude has been really good in software engineering. I would say it has been built and designed mostly for coding, right? Anthropic—their idea, their starting point—was coding, how to make coding and software engineering better. So they've been a front runner in the race. ChatGPT is trying to catch up using Codex, and Copilot is great. Copilot is mostly used by enterprises who are on the Microsoft stack. They use Copilot a lot for coding in .NET and enterprise-level applications. They’re used to co-pilot. It’s because they feel comfortable with Microsoft security policies and all that. That’s fine. But in general, we see Claude to be at the top—from our perspective. We've also built a framework for software coding. In software development, there's a popular process called peer review. So when you create source code, you get it reviewed by your peer—your colleague.Share on X Is this what happens on GitHub? Yeah, yes. So basically anywhere—any source code repository—you can do that. So your team members can help you make your code better and more efficient. Yeah, I understand. But now we have a step called prompt peer review. When you're using prompts to build software, those prompts get reviewed by team members. Because if your prompts are not very specific or good enough all the way through the SDLC, you can run into a lot of challenges trying to fix the code. Because now you have a situation where you have code that you have not written fully, and when you ask AI to change something in the code, sometimes it ends up changing a lot of things that you don't want it to change. Yeah. That's what we've seen, and that's why we evolved. Before we build any software, we create maybe a 10-, 20-, 30-page prompt document, where we go through each screen and function and write it out. It's very sophisticated—it has evolved really well. But the thing is, it takes a few days to do that within the team, because we know if we do it right, the next step is faster and more accurate. So really, the prompt document—think of it more like an architecture document. Earlier, we used to create a solution architecture document, defining all the tools, the design, everything. But now it's more like an AI-driven solution architecture document with prompts, which get reviewed by team members. So we do that, and then we run that, and we get the code and everything. So I have a CTO club—I run a CTO Club in Maryland—and I was talking to CTOs. They're all using this, but some of them are so advanced that they actually define the test cases in the beginning. They define, “Okay, this is what I want, this is the function I want, and these are the test cases I want it to pass.” That's even more advanced. If you can do that, you can have very efficient code. Yeah, I love it. So is that the end? You have your test cases, you design the prompt, you peer-review the prompt, and you already had the prototype, so now you're coding the software—what's the last step? Yeah. Then there’s an integration as well. So AI doesn’t do the integration so well. You can do the front-end coding, you can do the back-end coding, you can probably create the APIs. APIs require a lot more human intervention. But once you have that, then you have to connect it, right? You have to connect the front end with the backend. A lot of that is still done by the programmer. It's hard to rely on AI for doing that. And again, it depends on the application. Maybe if it's a smaller application, maybe you can have AI do that. But if it's a bigger application—we mostly build bigger applications—then integration, then final QA and testing, and deployment. So all that is there. But in each of these steps, you can use some sort of AI tool to speed up the process. But the key is you still have to have your architecture, the process. You have to know the steps more. You have to be a good, experienced developer to use AI efficiently if you want to build a production-ready application. You can build a prototype. Anybody can build a prototype on Replit or Lovable, but it's not going to be production-ready that you can give to your customer and charge them money. So that’s the differentiator. Yeah, I understand. So Piyush, I’d like to switch gears here. I understand the AI ideation framework—that's great. We talked about the technical part of it, the curiosity, the technical challenges. Let’s talk about the entrepreneurship part, which is also part of your profile. So what drives the growth of your business? What would you say drives it? For us, there are multiple factors that drive the growth of our business. The first is, again, our problem-solving attitude. Any client that comes to us we communicate in that modelShare on X The problem, the challenge, the solution, the business part, the value proposition we bring. And the second factor is our location. We are here in Maryland, and we have another office in Chicago. So being here, we have a global shoring model—that's a main driving factor of our business from the entrepreneurship perspective. So what the global shoring model is: our client-facing team, the senior team, is here—solution architects, sales engineers, designers, project managers, business analysts—they are here in the US, client-facing. And our dev team and testers are in our offshore locations. Some people call it hybrid shoring. I call it right shoring. The reason I call it right shoring is because in this model, you have the right people at the right shore, so you get the most value. Here, you have people who understand the culture, the product, the context—because products are used by people in a certain culture. And if you are not in that culture, if you haven't experienced it, it's always harder to design the right software solution. I was one of the first people to start that model here in the DMV area for mid-size and smaller companies. This model existed before, but mostly for large enterprise companies. They have used that. But I started to offer that 16 years ago to smaller companies. Either companies were just going offshore, or they were doing onshore, right? I introduced this hybrid—or right-shoring—model, and it has been well received by our customers. So that’s it. So what is one thing that you’re trying to figure out in your business right now? Right now, what I'm trying to figure out in my business is scaling. I mean, we have built solutions for many different industries. We have built solutions for different clients in fintech, healthcare, education, nonprofit, startups, IoT, construction. But now what we are trying to figure out is how do we create some off-the-shelf solutions for different industries? Because one challenge we see is that, from the client's perspective, getting custom software built takes time and money. But in certain use cases, we can have off-the-shelf, industry-specific solutions, and then customize those based on the client's needs. So that's what we are trying to figure out—across different industries, what those solutions can be—so we can scale and also make it easier. And these are more like AI-driven, off-the-shelf solutions that are customizable. So think of it like Salesforce—its core is off-the-shelf, but then you can customize the front end and a lot of other things. Not exactly like Salesforce, but more like industry-specific solutions for different use cases—nonprofit, construction, right? With those, overall, we can build solutions faster. That’s fascinating. So how has the offshoring—or right shoring, as you call it—model evolved over the past 10 years? Is it different now than it was 10 or 20 years ago? Yeah, I think that's a great question. It has evolved and changed. Earlier—maybe 10, 12 years ago—when we were talking about hybrid shoring, we were mostly talking about the US and Asia. But now we have different players. We have the nearshore model, which has become quite popular as well—like South America. We have team members in nearshore locations as well, in South America, because we want to leverage different time zones, resources, and culture. And we've seen very positive results. Then you have Eastern Europe. We have competition from countries like Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Poland. I think it’s the part of the globalized world, right? It's like energy flowing in different spaces—it's not limited to one place, which is great. That's one way it has evolved. I also know some companies working in Kenya—there are developers there. Some companies are setting up in East Africa, West Africa. So different places are playing roles now. That’s one thing I see. And now, with the help of AI, what's going to happen is it will play two roles. One— in many situations, with AI, you can do more things onshore. That’s one aspect of it. And second—with AI, someone sitting offshore who knows how to use AI can become very competitive as well. We don't have enough data yet to fully see how this will evolve, but maybe in a year or so, we'll see how it plays out. But I also find that with these simultaneous translation tools—like Apple, I think an iPhone can now translate in all languages. Essentially, another barrier falls that if the language and knowledge of your offshore contractor is not perfect, they can understand things much more clearly because of simultaneous translation. Even on Zoom, you can now flip a switch and they can read what's being said in their own language during a conversation. So that's amazing, I think. Yeah. That’s amazing. That’s amazing. They can understand more about the culture and mindset. So that's something have to see. Again, I think it depends on the use case, the application, the problem we're solving. But in some cases, it might be great news for onshore—we can keep more dollars here. But keeping dollars here with AI also means a lot of that spend is going to AI, right? So that's one thing—we have to be very careful. Yesterday, in our tech breakfast, our presentation was about how to optimize your AI tokens. There are some companies spending $150,000 per year per employee on tokens. Wow. That's like the salary of one employee. Yeah. A mid-level developer—$150K—they're spending that much. And then they’re trying to figure out how to optimize it. And on top of that, they have cloud costs, right? AWS, Azure—those costs are still there—and then you add AI. So it's a lot of money. You really have to be very smart about understanding and optimizing it. That’s why the prompting is so important, right? It's not just about getting the right software—it's also about getting the cost down. Yeah. Again, you need expert people who can prompt well, because it's about being able to communicate well. Prompting is about communication—it's about clarity, brevity, security, all that stuff. So, Piyush, we're coming close to the end of the recording. If someone would like to learn more about the applications you develop, how you're using AI, and how you can help their business develop technology, where can they find you? What's the best way to get in touch with you? Sure, there are many ways people can reach out to me. They can go to my website, www.simpalm.com—we have a contact form there. They can submit the form, or they can reach out to me via email directly at contact@simpalm.com. They can also connect with me on LinkedIn. I'm on LinkedIn—message me there if somebody needs anything. I always like discussing problems and what the solutions can be. If anybody reaches out to me, I'm always very quick to respond. That's awesome. So Piyush Jain, the CEO of Simpalm—and we didn't even talk about your other business, Ducknowl—thank you for coming, and thank you for sharing your insights and your framework on how to build an ideation framework for AI. So thanks for sharing that. And if you're listening and you enjoyed this conversation, then stay tuned, because every week we have another entrepreneur sharing their insights and frameworks with you. So make sure you follow us on YouTube, subscribe, and give us a review on Apple Podcasts. So thanks for coming. Thank you, Steve. It was a pleasure talking to you.
