Join Dr. Kent and Randy as they explore otherwise banal topics every weekday morning... and relate them to business strategy.

BFE, where unicorns run free. Well, no, it's not a fairy tale podcast; we actually talk about the things that matter most to startups and VCs. We ask the tough questions of VCs and Founders, getting to the bottom of the real issues that surround money, financing, startups, and much more. Jessica King Bernstein joins her partners Randy "Took-a-Company-to-Wall-Street" Baker and Dr. Kent "Pull-Out-Your-Beating-Heart" Gustavson to roast and worship real ballers on every episode.

We put scare quotes around the term “thought leader.” Don't worry - no hagiographic interviews here. No upsells, no bullshit. We have great conversations with true innovators, thinkers, disrupters, creatives, and a few fools. (You decide.) We ask them all for insights, stories and tools. (You'll laugh, you'll shout, you might fall asleep. It's all good.) We are all thought leaders. Think more. Lead better.

On "Shop Talk" we talk shop with people who go from "blue collar" to "blue suit". That's it. (Producer: "We need a longer description for social media." Us: "Piss off.")

We live in the age of reputation. Influencers, gurus, wizards, czars, geeks, mavens, and thought leaders rule the roost. So what about you? We ask difficult questions of hustlers and heros, founders and failers … those who have done it, are doing it, and will get things done. Capitalize on your reputation. Step out of the shadows. Shift the earth on its axis. #YOLO.

We talk to quirky, brilliant, successful folks who are able to smarten business down, sharing insights on great business design. Guests are all thought leaders in their own niche, and we challenge them to speak outside of talking points, which ultimately should make for a few interesting minutes of listening. Design your business for success, with a few thoughts from those who have been there.
