The world’s favourite fruit is in serious trouble. Panama Disease Tropical Race 4, a fungal pathogen that travels in soil and water and leaves no cure in […]

Here’s a simple rubric for outsourcing:
If you’re never going to need to do this again, and it’s easier to do it than to instruct someone else to do it, by all means, do it yourself.
If doing it yourself will give you joy or satisfaction that is greater than the productivity boost you’ll get from leverage or better tools, please do it yourself.
But if you’re going to do it more than once, and the customer can’t tell if you did it yourself or not, perhaps you should have someone else do it or build the tools to get it done more efficiently.
Next time will happen sooner than you expect. Better to invest a bit more now than to spend for that shortcut again and again.
The Berlin startup, founded by two ex-Snowflake engineers, wants to be the platform where AI-generated data pipelines go to actually work. The hard part of building with AI is no longer getting the code. It is getting the code to run. That gap, between what an AI coding assistant can produce in minutes and what […]

Unreasonable commitment is unreasonable. It happens before there’s a guarantee it will work. It’s out of proportion to what others think is standard. Unreasonable commitment is dedication, persistence, care, energy, connection and investment that doesn’t seem to make sense.
You can’t do this in everything, and you probably can’t do it all the time. That’s why it’s unreasonable to expect.
I’ve been fortunate enough to do hundreds of podcasts. The hosts are even kinder and more professional than you’d imagine, showing up for months or years with virtually no listeners. They do it because they care.
But only one podcast host had me in tears before we began recording.
Last September, I spent the day with Mel Robbins and her team of more than a dozen professionals. We recorded for four hours, two episodes worth, and then they quietly spent six months editing the work.
Mel’s even more Mel-like in person. She’s fully present, committed and yes, over the top. Our conversation led to my new book and course, and it also reminded me that better is possible. Not just for the person in front of the camera, but for everyone on the team, for the guests and for the people listening.
Neil Pasricha wrote about Mel a decade ago. Before last year’s bestseller or the Golden Globe nomination or the podcast hit its stride. It’s a choice.
Unreasonable commitment doesn’t seem like a good plan until after it works.
The Paris-based VC backed by Bpifrance and Université PSL has exceeded the €120M goal it set at first close in March 2024.
