Tiny Little Victories

In this episode of Tiny Little Victories, Dr. Max Gulde, the CEO and co-founder of constellr, takes us on his journey from scientist to CEO.

While he was there, he created techniques for analyzing previously inaccessible material characteristics during hypervelocity impacts. And guess what? That helps us to improve our understanding of stellar formation processes, such as asteroids colliding with planets.

Armed with a PhD in Physics, Max also created the first ultrafast low-energy electron diffraction instrument, which allows us to see cool stuff at the atomic level.

Today, as CEO, Max passionately focuses on the challenges of a growing population, food security, and a rapidly changing climate with satellites and a little secret sauce. The company uses global land surface temperature data from space, which gives us a view of future potential damage to make better resource application decisions.

His company is also creating the world's first chemical and physical bio-atlas. Can you imagine an entire data set of the earth based on carbon, water, and land temperatures? Game-changing!

Constellr makes the invisible visible, so he's actually our new Ironman.

⁠Jan Ligaard⁠ is the CEO and co-founder of ⁠Immer Puzzles,⁠ fresh out of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The company Immerspiele makes online word games to rival Wordle. A Reddit user said their game MOVES is akin to word chess—you need a strategy.

They launched two months ago and already have 70,000 daily word game players in Denmark. The game is free and you don't even need an account to play it. Currently, there are four addictive games to play for free -- Moves, Stack, Splice, and Middle. To keep people from losing their minds and playing til 3 am, Jan says they designed the game to reset at midnight each night - so once you play, you have to wait a day to play again -- oddly, this makes it more addictive but in a good way.

Jan has been creating beautiful things for the past two decades with breathtaking designs for digital brands.

Jan shares his story behind Immer Puzzles with his co-founder (they were tired of playing Wordle for starters) and how they had to create a new version of a Danish dictionary to ensure that every word, in any form, could be used in the game.

Tune into this episode and learn how digital games are made!

On this episode of Tiny Little Victories, host Jennifer Kite-Powell talks with another Jennifer—Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche, CEO of ⁠PherDal Fertility Science⁠. Dr. Jenn created the first FDA-cleared at-home sterile insemination kit, which has been selling like hotcakes—more than 400 kits were sold in the first few weeks.

Dr. Jenn started PherDal because she was told by doctors she had unexplained fertility and there wasn't much more she could do other than expensive IVF treatments and invasive procedures. After hitting one wall after another, she decided to fix the problem herself and created PherDal. Listen to her journey and unwavering commitment to solving problems that are changing the world.

We all know the term public relations. It's a household name today—you either love it, hate it, or like to make fun of it, but it's here to stay in some form.

Freelance journalist Louis Bedigian and Mindy Hull, CEO and Founder of Mercury Global Partners, join Massive Talk to discuss the cringe of assembly-line PR, doing foundational work before that pitching starts, and the basics like NOT calling a journalist, spelling their names correctly, or just including the right name (or any name).

In this episode of Tiny Little Victories, directors Ken Feinberg and Craig Tollis talk about their new feature film, Love and Taxe$. The film was written by Lloyd J. Schwartz, writer, and producer of the 1970s sitcom, The Brady Bunch.

Love and Taxe$ is an unconventional story that unfolds between a CPA and a waitress. Their connection? An annual meeting under the guise of preparing her taxes. Each year, these sessions evolve into much more than number crunching. Set against the colorful backdrop of the 1970s, each of their seven encounters is a mini-drama, rich in emotional depth and character development.

Rob Reiner said, "Love and Taxes is totally unique. It's so difficult to find a new way to make a romantic comedy, but Ken Feinberg has done it."

The film stars Jake Reiner and Alexis Abrams. Writer: Lloyd J. Schwartz

Ken Feinberg has been making films for more than 20 years. His Creative Studios of Atlanta helps film actors discover their capabilities while fostering the independent filmmaking ethos.

Director Craig Tollis joins Ken to discuss the film's bold cinematic leap of shooting each of the seven scenes in a single, continuous take. This approach challenges the conventional filmmaking process and creates a masterful dance of performances. The film was chosen to present at the Beverly Hills Film Festival and the Myrtle Beach Film Festival.

The Massive Talk talkers also examine a study from ⁠Penn Medicine ⁠highlighting how violence can severely impact our sleep quality. Not to mention, they also engage in a polarizing discussion about the use of sleep data.

And how bees sleep - hint: they get more sleep than humans do in a night's sleep.
