Wow, in this episode you’ll feel the passion and intensity of a startup founder whose company raised $83 million in venture funding by creating a simpler cybersecurity platform for small and mid-sized companies, and which delivers results that rival products sold to large companies. A lot has to do with culture, including Todyl’s #1 value: Security First. That led to an interesting conversation that will have you thinking about priorities.

I’m in an ongoing pursuit of understanding the fast evolution of AI, and of course looking in Colorado – I came across LIMINAL – a company that adds a dimension to artificial intelligence that I’d never even thought of – SECURITY. I didn’t even CONSIDER that as employees use AI, they’re entering prompts and data into an AI tool, and that Ai tool is connected to the outside – so company secrets or customer privacy could be compromised. And in the GLOBAL EXPLOSION of Ai use, LIMINAL protects against that. I learned so much in this episode!

OWNING THE STRATOSPHERE.  Quite an ambitious objective – even more so after I learned what it meant! I’m fascinated by the idea of using what seemed to be old technology (balloons) over newer technology including satellites and drones to achieve superiority in the marketplace for aerial imagery and data. Join me on my journey from skepticism and see if you become intrigued as I have, or even a believer! Thanks to my partners at Denver Angels for the connection to Andrew.

I had no idea how exciting this episode would become while I was preparing for it. LongPath is the story of a company that emerged from Nobel Prize winning technology developed at NIST and University of Colorado.  You may have never cared about what a “frequency comb” is, and you WILL after listening to how this now little, soon to be big company enabled by a $195 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy, can have a massive impact on climate change.  Listen now – and you’ll be able to tell your friends, “I’ve been watching them since this all started!”

“We wanted to change the company from a closure system to a high-performance fit system to change the way athletes perform – and prove it scientifically.”

I met Jamie Repenning when he was CEO of Floyd’s 99 Barbershop and we did Episode 68 together, “Floyd’s 99 Adapting Style.” That’s why when he reached out to me about a new concept he was launching, I was eager to listen – and FASCINATED with the concept of creating an entire barbershop brand focused on employing the formerly incarcerated.  We agreed that I’d help him launch R&R Head Labs with a LIVE audience event at the grand opening.  This is an inspiring episode and I’m proud to have hosted it.
