In episode #537, Eric and Neil discuss whether Tai Lopez and other Internet
marketers are scammers. Tune in to hear some surprising thoughts on this issue
and how others could even learn from supposed scammers.
Time-Stamped Show Notes:
* [00:27] Today’s Topic: Do We Think Tai Lopez Is a Scammer?
* [00:36] Because they are in the marketing world, Eric and Neil are often asked this question.
* [00:43] Eric doesn’t think that Tai Lopez is a scammer and actually respects his hard work.
* [01:15] Neil knows Tai personally.
* [01:17] This conversation could also be about Sam Evans, Billy Gene, or Alex Becker. Neil sees all of these people as smart and creative marketers.
* [01:40] Tai is a very forthright person with no need to put up a front.
* [02:03] Instead of asking if someone is a scammer, try to learn from their techniques.
* [02:25] You don’t have to be in their world, but take the stuff that works for these marketers and apply it to your business.
* [02:37] Sam Evans is often considered a scammer, but he has over 3,000 positive video testimonials on his website.
* [03:00] Everyone thinks these guys are scammers because there are a lot of affiliate marketer scammers. It is also because when people buy their products, the users don’t actually use the product.
* [03:40] If you take free, effective material from your blog and put it behind a paywall, people will inevitably complain and claim your tactics don’t work. In the end, it will come out that they didn’t even apply the tactics to their businesses.
* [04:45] Gossip doesn’t help you or anyone grow your business. It’s a waste of energy.
* [05:20] Instead of worrying who is a scammer, look at the products and techniques and use what works for your business.
* [05:51] That’s it for today!

with Kurt House (@kurtzhouse), John Thompson, Connie Chan (@conniechan) and
Hanne Tidnam (@omnivorousread) The exploration for and mining of certain
metals has driven huge epochs of human civilization, from copper and iron to
gold and diamonds. In this conversation, Kurt House, CEO and co-founder of
KoBold Metals; John Thompson, professor of earth and geosciences at Cornell
and longtime advisor to the mining industry; and a16z General Partner on the
consumer team, Connie Chan, talk with a16z's Hanne Tidnam all about why it is
that cobalt is suddenly one of the most important metals on the planet.
Because this metal makes today's best batteries, we have gone from little to
enormous demand—with that demand expected to only increase. This conversation
covers the way technology is transforming how we find cobalt, and the mining
industry as a whole. Along the way we touch on the science behind why exactly
it is that cobalt is so damn good in batteries; what we know about what makes
cobalt as a metal 'tick', where it's currently mined, and where it's most
likely to be found; what data and knowledge used to drive mining; and what the
new data sources, technologies, and techniques are today, from geophysical/
geochemical data, to agricultural information, to old boxes collected over
centuries in the basements and attics of mining cos…. all of this to satisfy
the incredible spike of demand for this material, as we enter a new age of
battery metals.

with Jeff Jordan (@Jeff_Jordan), Yogi Roth (@YogiRoth), Zack Weiner and Hanne
Tidnam (@omnivorousread) For decades, the increasing value of sports teams,
rights, licenses and more have been fueled by sports media. But dollars follow
eyeballs, and eyeballs -- at least on the traditional broadcast -- are going
elsewhere. "If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace
else,” Yogi Berra once said. So where exactly are those eyeballs going, and
what does that mean for the sports media industry, now that each and every one
of us is an individual media platform? a16z General Partner Jeff Jordan, Yogi
Roth, Pac-12 college football analyst and former athlete and coach, and Zack
Weiner, co-founder and president of sports media platform Overtime -- in
conversation with a16z's Hanne Tidnam -- talk all about the evolution of
sports media and content, and what it means for how we will consume sports in
the future. How will the way we watch sports fundamentally change? How this
begin to affect the game itself? How are athletes thinking about brand in this
new world of sports content?

with Atul Butte (@atulbutte), Daphne Koller (@daphnekoller), and Vijay Pande
(@vijaypande) Whether you’re an academic seeking to move out of research and
into industry, or simply interested in working at a bio startup, this episode
of the a16z Podcast is for you. It covers everything from how to build a brand
in the space when you don’t have one to how the bio and how the healthcare
startup ecosystem is different from traditional tech (or traditional pharma),
to how to choose the right co-founder -- or even identify what problems to
solve and build a company around. The discussion (which is based on a recent
event at Andreessen Horowitz) features Atul Butte, Distinguished Professor and
Director of the Institute for Computational Health Sciences at UCSF; and
Daphne Koller, founder and CEO of insitro (former professor at Stanford, co-
founder of Coursera); in conversation with a16z bio team general partner Vijay
Pande. Together, they provide practical how-to's -- for those coming from
machine and deep learning backgrounds, but also for anyone, really -- for how
to break into the bio space.

In episode #1101, we discuss whether Mastermind groups or worth the time and
money. Tune in to hear if you should be in a Mastermind.
TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
* [00:25] Today’s Topic: If Masterminds are Worth It
* [00:33] A Mastermind group is a discussion session centered around a specific topic, industry, or purpose.
* [01:15] You can have one with as little as 5 people.
* [01:48] The groups can also get as large as a couple hundred people.
* [02:05] Some groups make a profit and others are free.
* [02:33] In India, the groups are very costly.
* [03:10] Spending $10,000/year is worth it to Eric, because Masterminds helped save his business.
* [03:40] If it doesn’t work out, you probably picked the wrong Mastermind.
* [04:14] Ideally, other group members should be on your level or higher.
* [04:30] You don’t want someone to be just starting out, because they won’t help you.
[04:54] That’s it for today!

Grammy-, Golden Globe-, Tony- and Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper
discusses how he has emerged as a visionary filmmaker. His first try at
directing a film became the box office smash “A Star Is Born,” which has been
nominated for eight Academy Awards and earned more than $400 million at the
box office. Over a four-year period, Bradley wrote, produced, directed,
starred in and even wrote music for “A Star Is Born.” “The fact that I had an
opportunity to co-write and direct a movie and see it from an idea in my head,
or a feeling--an inspiration in my soul--to showing you this story, are you
kidding me?” Bradley says. “That's, like, ‘Praise God.’” He shares why he
believes he connected on a deeper level with his co-star Lady Gaga and
explains why it was important for him to redefine masculinity, portraying men
as vulnerable. Bradley also talks about why he believes he’s still connected
to his late father, Charles, and how his death forever altered his life.
