  • Content Doesn’t Get Much Better!

    With so many podcasts on the market today, it is so hard to break through the noise. I was recently turned on to Brave Dynamics by a friend of mine, and after tuning into a couple of episodes, it has made it’s way into my weekly routine! I literally leave 1 un-listened episode in my queue simply because I hate the thought of running out of Jeremy content! Keep it up!!

  • Authentic & Inspirational

    I especially loved Episode #10, where Andrew Ive talks about how the younger generation is realizing that every dollar, pound or Euro that they spend is a vote. Incredibly useful in kickstarting my thought process around customers & the entrepreneur’s relationship with them

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Become Incorruptible - The Truth Behind Successful Businesses | Eric Ries - E700
Q: What prompted the shift from Lean Startup to IncorporRruptible, and how does AI factor into your new governance framework?
The shift came from observing how organizations fail not only due to execution gaps but from governance weaknesses and misaligned incentives. AI accelerates both opportunity and risk, making durable, trust-centered governance essential. The new framework seeks to combine operational discipline with robust legal and governance structures to endure beyond individual leaders.
Become Incorruptible - The Truth Behind Successful Businesses | Eric Ries - E700
Q: You described the birth of Lean Startup and why you wrote it. How did the idea evolve into a movement that reached beyond startups?
The core was a shift from heroic stories to first principles and systematic experimentation, coupled with a broader view of who participates in building a company. Early reception in Silicon Valley and the recession era helped cement a practical framework that could scale from small ventures to large organizations, expanding the audience to anyone involved in creating or sustaining value.
How Lasers Could Replace Undersea Cables & Reshape Global Internet | Rohit Jha - E698
Q: Is the ground-side partnership model with telcos a fair assessment of your strategy?
Yes, the strategy emphasizes partnerships with telcos and governments, leveraging terrestrial ground stations and space-based backhaul to enhance latency and reach while allowing telcos to retain core national security roles.
How Lasers Could Replace Undersea Cables & Reshape Global Internet | Rohit Jha - E698
Q: What was your product market fit iteration given the SpaceX/Starlink context?
The team chose to methodically build the technology and supply chain, first partnering with telcos to provide laser-based connectivity for fiber deployments and then expanding toward space-based backhaul as the core differentiator.
How Lasers Could Replace Undersea Cables & Reshape Global Internet | Rohit Jha - E698
Q: But please, Rohit, for those who don't know you yet, could you introduce yourself?
Rohit describes himself as co-founder and CEO of Transcelestial, the company behind laser-based internet in space, focused on building an orbital ring and expanding laser ground-to-space connectivity.
