1. “Embrace the Fail Fast Model” - Talk about the database selection process in NPR and how it generated management conflict and pushback. But allowed the team to move fast. Audience: Everyone.

5. “No-Code 101” - outline the tools and patterns that a non-tech founder needs to know.

7. "Keep it Dirty, No Polish” - Polished is nice, but its not revenue. I am considering hosting a “Dirty Demo” series for founders with super dirty concepts.
8. “Short Path Everthing” - I have found that there are always solutions that we ingore that can get ups to outcomes faster. But we turn away form those paths. We default to tropos. Even worth we ask “Whats the best practice”. Water follows the path of least resistance, but human do not.
9. “Age of Selfish Software” - its time. No more one size fits all software.
10. “Software in 200 years” - What would I find if I woke up in 200 years and had to get a job.
11. “My First Investor Check” - Outine how I would invest. Write checks fast. My vision is that I will built LCCTO into a fund that invests in pure potential. In the founders who are full of grit, but missing the win.

13. “CTO Sales Brain” - Outline how it hide most tech web sites.
