  • Amazing Podcast

    As an avid listener of podcasts (mostly real estate related), it’s rare that I come across content this amazing. Onward consistently surprises me with articulate and insightful market commentary. I couldn’t be more grateful for Cardiff and Ben!

  • So much more than real estate

    As a long-time Fundrise investor (and podcast listener) Ben and his team never cease to amaze. It’s not another how they make money for people like me (although that’s cool) but how consistently they reinvent themselves and how broad and forward their point of view really is.

    Occasional episodes get too wonky for me, but most are fascinating! They’ve thrown back the curtain on the Washington political machine, artificial intelligence, the nature of crowdfunding, even what makes up the universe... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

58: What we can learn from the first industry AI took over, with Paul Adams CPO of Fin (Intercom)
Q: How did Intercom decide to pivot to AI and what were the cultural challenges?
They chose to bet the company on AI because of the decelerating growth in the old model and the belief that AI would disrupt customer service. The hardest part was changing the culture, aligning values, and letting go of employees not aligned with the journey, which took roughly six to twelve months, followed by building Finn and reorienting product strategy.
57: This miracle pill could make dogs live longer, with Celine Halioua, Founder & CEO of Loyal
Q: Walk us through the good scenario in the next five years for Loyal.
In a best-case trajectory, Loyal launches the drug within a year or so, followed by millions of dogs on the product across the United States within three years, and broad adoption with strong cash flow supporting future human longevity initiatives within five years, while maintaining a focus on safety, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance to ensure ongoing availability.
57: This miracle pill could make dogs live longer, with Celine Halioua, Founder & CEO of Loyal
Q: When was Loyal founded and what catalyzed its creation?
Loyal was founded and incorporated in October 2019 after recognizing a regulatory pathway opened up in 2019 for unmet medical needs in dogs. This pathway made it economically feasible to pursue a bold longevity program that would have been impractical before, serving as a catalyst for the company's formation.
57: This miracle pill could make dogs live longer, with Celine Halioua, Founder & CEO of Loyal
Q: How do you balance investor expectations with the regulatory timeline for a dog longevity drug?
We've structured Loyal to work within a pathway that makes sense financially and scientifically: stay private for as long as value creation is clear, leverage a regulatory route that acknowledges unmet needs (conditional approval) to begin market activity, and use the data from veterinary programs to fund humane longevity efforts. The economics are about risk-adjusted ROI, manufacturing rigor, and the reality that the path to definitive lifespan extension will take time and careful validation.
56: Will AI do your job? with Raza Habib, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic
Q: What keeps you optimistic about AI's future despite the risks?
The potential to dramatically expand human capability, improve access to education and healthcare, and empower individuals through tools that augment decision-making. The key is balancing upside with risk by pushing for responsible development, strong safety measures, and fair distribution of benefits.
