  • Bravery Is A Practice with Jill Schulman

    Bravery Is A Practice with Jill Schulman
    2026/04/29
    Bravery expert, Jill Schulman, author of The Bravery Effect, reframes bravery as a trainable skill rather than an innate trait. She explains how “bravery reps” build confidence and self-trust by acting despite fear, and why fear is often a social signal pointing toward growth rather than real danger. Drawing on science, psychology, and her own experience, Jill outlines a three-part framework for courage: mindset, behavior, and environment. In an era where AI democratizes knowledge, she argues that bravery and human connection are the new differentiators for success. The conversation explores how avoiding discomfort fuels anxiety, how leaning into fear builds resilience, and why cultivating a “brave tribe” of mentors accelerates growth. From workplace candor and innovation to personal confidence and leadership, this episode shows how practicing courage transforms performance, relationships, and well-being.

    From PCR to Portfolio: Christine Aylward is Funding Life Sciences
    2026/04/22
    Christine Aylward is the founder and managing partner of Magnetic Ventures, a VC built on a thesis: the future of life sciences will be technology-driven. Her bet, placed in 2018, is paying off. Her path to venture capital is unique. She started at Roche, working on PCR, arguably the most revolutionary technology at the intersection of tech and life sciences in the last century. Then she co-founded a media company with Natalie Portman. Then she launched Magnetic, raising money for companies using machine learning to transform drug discovery, clinical trials, and more. Jim and Christine get into what it really takes to spot transformative science before it's obvious, why machine learning matters more than the word AI, and why the translation from technology to product is so hard.
