Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

Depuis Dakar, Muriel Edjo met en lumière trois tendances fortes de la tech africaine. Au Rwanda, les drones de Zipline livrent des médicaments en zones rurales et auraient permis de réduire de 51 % la mortalité maternelle dans les régions desservies. Au Maroc, la chirurgie robotisée s'installe dans le réseau public pour pallier la pénurie de spécialistes et élargir l'accès aux soins. Enfin, en Égypte, le Parlement prépare une loi pour encadrer l'usage des réseaux sociaux par les enfants, dans un contexte de montée du cyberharcèlement et de la désinformation.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with Paul Button, General Manager of Rotorua Canopy Tours, to unpack one of New Zealand's most remarkable tourism success stories. From his early days as a whitewater raft guide chasing winters and summers around the globe, to leading one of New Zealand's most awarded visitor experiences, Paul shares his journey into tourism leadership and the culture that drives Rotorua Canopy Tours. This conversation goes far beyond ziplining. Paul reveals: How founder James Fitzgerald set out to create “the most engaging zipline experience in the world” - and why the zipline itself only makes up three minutes of the tour. How conservation became central to the business, removing 800 pests in the first week and sparking a long-term biodiversity commitment. Why visitor experience excellence is simple - but incredibly hard to deliver consistently. The power of emotional “spikes” in creating unforgettable family moments. How a tourism business is now contributing to cutting-edge carbon sequestration research, potentially reshaping how New Zealand values native forest restoration. With over 9,000 TripAdvisor reviews and global accolades under their belt, Rotorua Canopy Tours proves that tourism can do more than entertain - it can restore ecosystems, build legacy, and create meaningful human connection. This is a powerful conversation about leadership, culture, conservation, and the role tourism can play in shaping a better future. ___________________________________________________________ Powered by https://www.destinatenz.com  If you, or someone you work with has a great tourism story to share, and would like to come onto the show, please get in touch!

Peter Sachs, Head of Airspace Integration, Zipline spoke with Claudia Bacco, Editor-in-Chief, Global Airspace Radar about the 10 year path that has helped Zipline evolve to where they are at today.We discuss the market needs in two very different markets. The support of medical requirements via drone delivery in Africa and the delivery of food and household supplies in the US.In order for this to be successful, UTM is a key component. Building on UTM functionality, we look at Remote ID, electronic conspicuity, detect-and-avoid and more. These technologies all get us closer to autonomy, which is required for this concept to scale to it's full potential.

On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa's 10 years' of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

"We're going to hire tons of engineers in Rwanda who are Rwandan to build this technology shoulder to shoulder with our American engineers."American foreign policy is experiencing a profound shift. It's now about trade not aid. But we've been waiting to understand what that means in practice. That's why an announcement by the US Department of State last November was so significant. The U.S. committed up to $150 million dollars to a partnership with Zipline. Zipline is an American company that designs, manufactures, and operates delivery drones. Yes, drones. And it's one of the first real examples of the America First global health strategy in action. So that's why we're excited to speak with Caitlin Burton. Caitlin is the CEO of Zipline Africa. Plus: What she really thinks about aid

"They were tired of losing women in childbirth."Last year, one of the US's top diplomats said that Africa is the world's largest untapped market… and Africa should be among the US's largest trading partners. This time, it's not just about aid. It's about business. And we were wondering what that might mean in practice. In November last year, the US Department of State made an important announcement: the U.S. committed up to $150 million dollars to a partnership with Zipline. Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates delivery drones. These currently fly in Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ghana. And they're saving lives. Listen to find out more.Plus: How African governments are forward thinking.

Die Hessen sind zurück, das drei90-Jahr kann beginnen. Basti erzählt von Mexiko, wo er ungeplant mehr Ziplines benutzen musste, als vorgesehen. Außerdem folgt er den Restauranttipps eines betrunkenen Mexikaners. David berichtet von Wisenten, Landhühnern und Eisbaden. Jede Menge Fußball gab es natürlich auch: Wir gehen den Bundesliga-Spieltag einzeln durch, zollen den Bayern Respekt und wundern uns über unerwartete Tore bei Union gegen Mainz. Enzo will sich nicht über den Sieg des VfB freuen und das SC-Spiel gegen den HSV sorgt für eine ausführliche Schiedsrichter-Diskussion. Axel erinnert sich an eine „phantastische Niederlage“ und wir diskutieren, ob Kwasniok noch Karneval in Köln erleben wird. Basti schreibt beinahe eine Glückwunsch-SMS an Kevin Trapp und wird durch abgebrochene Stadionmusik verwirrt. Zum Ende des Fußball-Segments bringt David eine Geschichte über einen jungen Elsässer mit, der mit 23 Jahren schon aus dem mongolischen Liga-Alltag berichten kann. Danach lesen wir weiter beim „Ball des Todes“: Der Uta-Counter hechelt dem Blusen-Counter hinterher, murrende Kunden ballen sich am Grabbeltisch und Herbert Tole schiebt Hass. Kann der aktuelle Cliffhanger, den vergangenen ersetzen? Hört selbst! Viel Spaß! Werde auch DU Funfriend! Den drei90Shop. kennt Ihr ja. Mittlerweile gibt es auch einen drei90 Instagram-Account.

We dig into the details of a new report published by UNAIDS, which found that donor funding cuts to the HIV response could lead to an additional 3.9 million new infections over the next five years, even if treatment coverage is maintained. The report, published on World AIDS Day 2025, called on governments to uphold human rights and urged funders to dedicate more resources to HIV prevention, including the highly effective twice-yearly injectable, lenacapavir. Last week, the U.S. State Department announced a grant of up to $150 million to drone company Zipline to expand health supply operations in five African countries. We highlight how this decision could signal the Trump administration's new approach to global health aid. We also unpack how digital public infrastructure, or DPI, is becoming a vital development tool, and contemplate whether it can offer a more collaborative, cost-effective approach, especially given the recent cuts to foreign assistance. To explore these stories, and others, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with Senior Editor for Special Coverage Catherine Cheney and Senior Reporter Jenny Lei Ravelo to discuss the top global development stories of the week. During the sponsored segment of This week in global development, brought to you by Pivotal, Catherine sits down with Action for Women's Health grantee Lisel Lifshitz Gudiño, who is also the executive director of Mujeres Aliadas. Her leadership champions the midwifery practice, ensuring the delivery of safe, dignified, and culturally sensitive health care.

Co robisz, gdy tracisz wszystko w wieku 2 lat? Gdy ojczyzna wyrzuca cię jak śmiecia? Gdy dorastasz w obozie dla uchodźców, gdzie nikt nie wierzy w twoją przyszłość?Większość się poddaje. Paul Kagame zdecydował się walczyć.Ta historia nie jest czarno-biała.To opowieść o człowieku, który zatrzymał jedno z największych ludobójstw w historii – i zbudował z popiołów kraj, który dzisiaj jest nazywany „singapurskim cudem Afryki”.Ale jaką zapłacił cenę? I czy cel usprawiedliwia środki?W tym odcinku odkryjesz:Jak stoicka dyscyplina może Cię podnieść z najgłębszego dnaMechanizm „zimnej kalkulacji”, który działa w kryzysie lepiej niż emocjeDlaczego prawdziwa siła to NIE agresja, ale kontrolaJak przekuć traumę w misję życiowąTo brutalna lekcja o tym, co możliwe, gdy odmówisz pogodzenia się z losem.Dla kogo ten odcinek?Dla wszystkich, którzy czują, że utknęli. Którzy wiedzą, że zasługują na więcej, ale nie wiedzą jak się odbudować po życiowym ciosie.

From crispy French fries to critical medical supplies, one company is transforming how goods move around the world with autonomous drone delivery technology.   In 2016, Zipline began with life-saving deliveries of blood and medical products in Rwanda and has since evolved into a global network expanding access to healthcare, consumer goods, and food. Operating across four continents and completing a delivery every 60 seconds, Zipline now serves more than 5,000 hospitals, retailers, and restaurants.   Listen in as we sit down with Keenan Wyrobek, Co-Founder and CTO, to explore how Zipline's pioneering approach to drone logistics is saving lives, reducing emissions, and opening new doors for economic opportunity — one autonomous flight at a time.   We'd love to hear from you.

When I sit down with product leaders who've spent decades shaping how Silicon Valley builds products, I'm always struck by how their career arcs echo the very lessons they now teach. Michael Margolis is no exception.Michael started his career as an anthropologist, stumbled into educational software in the late 90s, helped scale Gmail during its formative years, and eventually became one of the first design researchers at Google Ventures (GV). For fifteen years, he sat at the intersection of startups and product discovery, helping founders learn faster, save years of wasted effort, and—sometimes—kill their darlings before they drained all the fuel.In our conversation, Michael didn't just share war stories. He laid out a concrete, repeatable framework for product teams—whether you're a PM at a FAANG company or a fresh hire at a Series A startup—on how to cut through noise, get to the truth, and accelerate learning cycles.This post is my attempt to capture those lessons. If you're an early to mid-career PM in Silicon Valley trying to sharpen your craft, this is for you.From Anthropology to Gmail: The Value of Unorthodox BeginningsMichael's path to Google wasn't a linear “go to Stanford CS, join a startup, IPO” narrative. Instead, he started in anthropology and educational software, producing floppy-disk learning titles at The Learning Company and Electronic Arts. That detour turned out to be foundational.“Studying anthropology was my introduction to usability and ethnography,” Michael told me. “It gave me a lens to look at people's behaviors not just as data points but as cultural patterns.”For PMs, the lesson is clear: don't discount the odd chapters of your own career. That sales job, that nonprofit internship, or that side hustle in teaching can become your secret weapon later. Michael carried those anthropology muscles into Gmail, where understanding human behavior at scale was just as critical as writing code.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Audit your own “non-linear” career experiences. What hidden skills—interviewing, pattern-recognition, narrative-building—could you bring into product work?* When hiring, don't filter only for straight-line resumes. The best PMs often bring unexpected perspectives.The Google Years: Scaling Research at Hyper-speedMichael joined Gmail in 2006, when it was still young but maturing fast. He quickly noticed how different the rhythm was compared to the slow, expensive ethnographic studies he had done for consulting clients like Walmart.com.“At Walmart,” he explained, “I had to compress these big, long expensive projects into something faster. Gmail demanded that same speed, but at enormous scale.”At Google, the prime “clients” for his research were often designers. The questions he answered were things like: How do we attract Outlook users? How do we make the interface intuitive enough for mass adoption?This difference matters for PMs: in big companies, research questions often start downstream—how to refine, polish, or optimize. In startups, questions live upstream: What should we build at all? Knowing where you sit in that spectrum changes the kind of research (and product bets) you should prioritize.Jumping to Google Ventures: Bringing UXR Into VCIn 2010, Michael made a bold move: leaving the mothership to become one of the very first design researchers embedded inside a venture capital firm. GV was trying to differentiate itself by not just writing checks but also offering operational help—design, hiring, PR.“I got lucky,” he recalled. “GV had already hired Braden Kowitz as their design partner, and Braden said, ‘I need a researcher.' That was my break.”Working with founders was a shock. They didn't act like Google PMs. “It was like they were playing by a different set of rules. They'd say, ‘Here's where we're going. You can help me, or get out of my way.'”That forced Michael to reinvent how he showed value. Instead of writing reports that might sit unread, he had to deliver insights in real-time, in ways founders couldn't ignore.The Watch Party Method: Stop Writing ReportsHere's where the gold nuggets come in. Michael realized traditional reports weren't cutting it. Instead, he invented what he calls “watch parties.”“I don't do the research study unless the whole team watches,” he said. “I compress it into a day—five interviews with bullseye customers, the whole team in a virtual backroom. By the end, they've seen it all, they're debriefing themselves, and alignment happens automatically. I haven't written a report in years.”Think about that. No 30-page decks. No long hand-offs. Just visceral, shared observation.Actionable Advice for PMs:* Next time you run a user test, insist that at least your core team attends live. Skip the sanitized recap slides.* At the end of a session, have the team summarize their top three takeaways. When they say it, it sticks.Bullseye Customers: Getting Uncomfortably SpecificOne of Michael's most powerful contributions is the bullseye customer exercise.“A bullseye customer,” he explained, “is the very specific subset of your target market who is most likely to adopt your product first. The key is to define not just inclusion criteria but also exclusion criteria.”Founders (and PMs) often resist narrowing. They want to believe their TAM is huge. But Michael's method forces rigor. He described grilling teams until they admit things like: Actually, if this person doesn't work from home, they probably won't care. Or if they've never paid for a premium tool, they won't convert.Example: Imagine you're building a new coffee subscription. Your bullseye might be: Remote tech workers in San Francisco, ages 25-35, who already spend $50+ per month on specialty coffee, and who like experimenting with new roasters. If your product doesn't delight them, it won't magically resonate with “all coffee drinkers.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* Write down both inclusion and exclusion criteria for your bullseye.* Add triggers: life events that make adoption more likely (e.g., new job, new diagnosis, move to a new city).* Recruit five people who fit it exactly. If they're lukewarm, rethink your product.Why Five Interviews Is EnoughMichael swears by the number five.“After three interviews, you're not sure if it's a pattern,” he said. “By five, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the signal. Any more and the team is begging you to stop so they can make changes.”For PMs under pressure, this is liberating. You don't need 100 customer calls. You need five of the right customers, observed by the right team members, in a compressed timeframe.Multiple Prototypes: Don't Ask Customers to ImagineAnother Margolis rule: never show just one prototype.“If you show one, the team gets too attached, and the customer can only react. With three, I can say: compare and contrast. What do you love? What do you hate? I collect the Lego pieces and assemble the next iteration.”Sometimes those prototypes aren't even original mockups—they're competitor landing pages. As Michael joked: “Have you tested your competitor's prototypes? No? Then you've left something out.”Actionable Advice for PMs:* When exploring value props, mock up three different landing pages. Don't ask “Which do you prefer?” Instead ask: “Which elements matter most, and why?”* Treat mild praise as a “no.” Only visceral excitement counts as signal.Founders, Stubbornness, and the Henry Ford TrapI pressed Michael on what happens when founders dismiss customer feedback by invoking Henry Ford's famous line about “faster horses.”He smiled. “The beauty of bullseye customers is it forces accountability. If you told me these people are your dream users, and they shrug, then you can't hand-wave it away. Either change your customer definition or your product.”This is a crucial lesson for PMs who work with visionary leaders. Conviction is necessary, but unchecked conviction can sink a product. Anchoring on bullseye customers creates a shared contract that keeps both egos and hypotheses grounded.Bright Spots > Exit InterviewsWhen teams ask him to interview churned customers, Michael often refuses.“There are a bazillion reasons people don't use something,” he said. “It's inefficient. Instead, I go find the bright spots—the power users who love it. I want to know why they're on fire, and then go find more people like them.”This “bright spot” focus helps PMs avoid premature pivots. Instead of chasing every no, double down on the yeses until you understand the common thread.Case Study: Refrigerated Medications and ZiplineTo illustrate, Michael shared a project with Zipline, the drone-delivery company. They wanted to deliver specialty medications. The core question: was speed or timing more important?Through interviews, the bright spot insight emerged: refrigeration was the killer constraint. Patients didn't care about “fastest possible” delivery in the abstract. They cared about not leaving refrigerated drugs on their porch.That nuance completely changed the product and infrastructure design.For PMs, the takeaway is that sometimes the decisive factor isn't the flashy benefit you advertise (“we're the fastest!”) but a practical detail you only uncover through careful listening.AI and the Future of ResearchWe couldn't avoid the AI question. Has it changed his process?“I worry about how AI is creating distance between teams and customers,” Michael admitted. “If my bot talks to your bot and spits out a report, you miss the nuance. The power of research is in the stories, the details, the visceral reactions.”That said, he does use AI for quick prototype copywriting and summaries. But he insists on live team observation for the real work.For PMs, the advice is to use AI as an accelerant, not a replacement. Let it write the rough draft of your landing page copy, but don't outsource customer empathy to a transcript.What PMs Should Do Differently TomorrowLet's distill Michael's 15 years of wisdom into actionable steps you can implement this week:* Define your bullseye. Write down exact inclusion, exclusion, and trigger criteria.* Recruit five. Stop at five, but make them exact matches.* Run a watch party. Get your designer, engineer, and PM peers in the virtual backroom. No observers, no insights.* Prototype in threes. Landing pages are cheap. Competitor screenshots are free.* Look for visceral reactions. Anything less than “Wait, can I get this now?” is a polite no.* Study the bright spots. Find your power users and figure out what makes them glow.* Compress cycles. The whole exercise—recruit, test, learn—should take days, not months.Quotes Worth RememberingTo make these lessons stick, here are five quotes from Michael that every PM should tape to their desk:* “I don't do the research unless the whole team watches.”* “A bullseye customer is the very specific subset of your target market most likely to adopt first.”* “After five interviews, you hit data saturation. Everyone sees the pattern.”* “If you show one prototype, the team gets too attached. With three, you collect the Lego pieces.”* “Mild encouragement is a polite no. Only visceral excitement counts as yes.”My Takeaways as a Coach and PMTalking to Michael reinforced something I've seen in my own career: product failure often comes not from bad execution, but from weak learning cycles. Teams don't test the right people, don't synthesize together, and don't act quickly on what they learn.Michael's methods aren't magic—they're discipline. They compress time, sharpen focus, and force alignment. Whether you're building the next Gmail or the next startup idea in a Palo Alto garage, these principles apply.If you're an early to mid-career PM, start by practicing on a small scale. Don't wait for your manager to bless a massive UXR budget. Run a five-person watch party with your next prototype. You'll be surprised at how quickly the fog lifts.ClosingIf this resonated and you're looking for deeper guidance, I also work 1:1 with PMs and executives on career, product, and leadership challenges.

There are few things Kevin Nash feels stronger about than protecting the sanctity of the locker room. This week he and Sean dive deep into the latest wrestling controversy and the chaos surrounding Raja Jackson, a mark who never should have been backstage in the first place. Kevin's blunt take cuts through all the noise with the kind of clarity only a veteran can provide From wild travel stories to the headaches of carrying extra gear, Kevin explains what it was really like dragging costumes, props, and even animals from one city to the next . The conversation highlights how much has changed, and how much should never change when it comes to respecting the business. The episode doesn't stay in one lane for long. Sean brings up the Becky Lynch promo in Birmingham, where the line between heat and disrespect left plenty of people furious . Kevin has his own unfiltered thoughts on whether crossing that boundary is ever worth it, and what happens when performers confuse cheap shots with genuine impact. Along the way, the guys dig into bigger questions about faith, family, and the unexpected ways life pushes you to reflect . As with last week, Kevin opens up in ways that surprise even longtime listeners, and Sean keeps pressing into places where honesty reveals more than either of them might have planned. By the time the show wraps, you've gone from backstage scandals to NBA nostalgia, from indie mishaps to spiritual visions. It is another ride only Kevin Nash could take you on, and another Monday morning where the main event is hearing what he really thinks when the rest of the world is still arguing in circles BlueChew-Visit BlueChew.com and try your first month of BlueChew FREE when you use promo code NASH -- just pay $5 shipping.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso tackle a noisy week for restaurants, including McDonald's value moves, Chipotle's drone delivery, and the national uproar around Cracker Barrel. First up is McDonald's, which is driving buzz with a number of menu moves, including two special meal deals — the nostalgic McDonaldland Meal and the BTS Happy Meal — plus the announcement that it would reduce prices on combo meals. Sam and Alicia share how these moves are driving traffic momentum at McDonald's and why they're a smart value play in a tough economic season. Next they discuss Chipotle's drone delivery test, in which it's partnering with Zipline to deliver meals in a Dallas suburb. We've been hearing about drone delivery for years now, but it's failed to take off in a big way; could Chipotle's entry into the space further legitimize the service method? Sam and Alicia share their opinions. Speaking of opinions, most Americans have one about Cracker Barrel's new logo, which the company announced last week. Sam and Alicia wade into the hot water to discuss the reaction, which has included cruel and inappropriate comments directed at CEO Julie Felss Masino. Learn more about the controversy and why the restaurant industry must use this opportunity to demonstrate leadership in hospitality.

After flying 100 million miles and making over 1.4 million deliveries using autonomous drones, Zipline CEO and co-founder Keller Rinaudo Cliffton is looking to transform how same-day delivery works in the U.S. His company has spent years shipping medical supplies across countries like Rwanda, Ghana and Kenya. But will Zipline become a household name by flying burritos and salads to backyards in the U.S.? And how is the startup competing with tech giants like Amazon and Alphabet? Cliffton speaks to WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins on the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast. Correction: Zipline has flown more than 100 million commercial autonomous miles. An earlier version of this podcast incorrectly stated that it's flown 50 million miles without human pilots. (Corrected on May 2.)
