  • Great podcast

    What ever happened to Melinda? She was a great inspiration to me and many others in the sewing and embroidery world. She seems to have disappeared off the internet. I sure hope she’s alright.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

$8B Success Story to AI Pioneer | Founder, President & CEO of Jivox, Diaz Nesamoney
Q: How do you view product-market fit and selling before building?
Product-market fit is iterative: talk to potential buyers, test concepts, and sometimes sell the idea before fully building it to validate demand and reduce risk.
$8B Success Story to AI Pioneer | Founder, President & CEO of Jivox, Diaz Nesamoney
Q: What's one takeaway from SellerQuest that you bring to DaVinci?
Seek a much bigger market and avoid getting so focused on a niche that the total addressable market isn't large enough to sustain growth; leverage partnerships to scale rather than trying to go it alone.
$8B Success Story to AI Pioneer | Founder, President & CEO of Jivox, Diaz Nesamoney
Q: What was the initial product Informatica brought to market, and how did it evolve?
The original idea was to move data off mainframes to newer systems, but the real pivot came when we realized customers would need ongoing analytics and reporting, so the product evolved from data movement to data transformation and analytics.
How to Grow Licensing Revenue to $1.5B/yr | Tailscale CEO, Avery Pennarun
Q: What is the core, in 30 seconds, of what Tailscale does for non-technical listeners?
Tailscale is a building block that enables devices to connect directly to each other without routing through clouds, using end-to-end encryption, and it works across many platforms, making secure device-to-device communication invisible and easy to start.
Sold Kinkos to Fedex | Co-Founder of GameStop & Author, Gary Kusin
Q: Let's talk maybe the Kinko's FedEx days. How big did FedEx get while you were there as CEO?
During his tenure, FedEx reached around $42-44 billion in revenue, a scale that impressed or challenged him as a turnaround leader and partner to integrate Kinko's into a much larger corporate culture.
