Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alec Abdul-Rahim - Column
Q: How did you get to Column?
I was connected through my network to the head of the Vertical Solutions unit at Column, which led me to meet more people there. The appeal grew from Column's decision to build their core banking tech in-house, creating a strong moat and a clear path to specializing in property management banking.
Shawn Butler - Relevant
Q: How do you view education and MBAs in the context of entrepreneurship?
He argues that MBAs can be valuable for opening doors depending on one's goals, but not always necessary; the decision should be based on the path you want to take and the doors you need opened.
Shawn Butler - Relevant
Q: What should someone do if they want to exit a company?
He emphasizes starting with the end in mind, identifying potential buyers, building a business that can run without the founder, and creating value beyond the founder's direct control through processes and IP.
Steven Heumann - Super Heumann Creative
Q: What role does AI play in your editing and publishing work?
AI is useful for generating base content, but it often produces generic text; we annotate AI-derived portions, rewrite them with human voice, and ensure the final product is authentic and compelling.
Steven Heumann - Super Heumann Creative
Q: How do you determine the right length and structure for a business book?
For business books, aim for around 50,000 words that educate the reader; structure them to serve the reader, not just the author, and tailor the outline during interviews to capture essential stories succinctly.
