Taylor Cole has always boldly followed his curiosity. As a BASE jumper and CRW (synchronized maneuvers under skydive canopy) pilot, he gained an interest in the forces that effect wings - and so he went to grad school to study fluid mechanics. During his career in the Navy, he has put his creativity to work, using math to capture bad guys, perform analyses, and lead a research lab. When he discovered that he himself has an auditory processing disorder, he started exploring immersive environments that engage multiple senses in concert… which led him to found Burble Creativity. Burble Creativity is creating portable environments that use audio and visual elements together to engage both hemispheres of kids’ brains in immersive experiences. Early research shows promise for education and therapeutic applications, not just for auditory processing disorders, but for a whole slew of others, including autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He joins Brett Kistler on the podcast to share the incredible story behind this new technology, dive deep into what might drive some people toward adventure sports, discuss the under-recognized power of a neurodivergent mind, and more.…

On a very special episode of Founder Vision, Yurii Filipchuk joins Brian Gupton from his home in Kyiv, mere kilometers from the active warzone, on the 8th day of the Russian invasion. Yurii and two cofounders (who were themselves displaced by conflict in 2014 and now again in 2022), formed Party.Space as a way to create virtual “microverses” - VR environments for events, conferences, and parties. When your real world is under pressing threat, what is the creator of a virtual world to do? Yurii shares so much with us in this powerful interview. Topics include: - Day to day life under the shadow of war - How tech companies and everyday people can support the Ukrainian resistance, both virtually and physically - How the Ukrainian tech community is fighting - and winning - a “meme war” to destabilize critical Russian IT infrastructure and get real information to the Russian people. - How Ukrainian businesses are surviving, and how to support them - Differing responses within the Ukrainian workforce; ranging from crippling fear to “work therapy” All this and more. We hope you’ll give it a listen, and continue to listen to the people of Ukraine. Interview recorded 5:30pm Ukrainian time on Thursday, March 3.…

043 Leveraging tech debt and embracing leadership 46:00

לפני 3 years46:00

Technical debt is the source of a lot of confusion, concern, and negative stigma in the startup world. It's the idea that taking a coding shortcut now - to meet a deadline, push an iteration, or for some other goal - will lead to more development work needed in the future. Non-technical founders may fear it, have trouble recognizing it, try avoid it, and unknowingly accrue it. Nael El Shawwa, Head of Engineering at Perpetua.io, has a different perspective. He joins Brian Gupton on the podcast to discuss how founders can thoughtfully - not recklessly - leverage technical debt to help move their vision forward. This thought-provoking conversation also digs into topics such as leadership - how to embrace it for yourself and how to identify and foster it in others; the current state of tech recruitment; and what can be gained and lost as we are siloed away from the office in remote work. We really enjoyed this conversation and think you will too.…
