Max Sinclair sits down with Simon Cockram to reflect on his biggest learnings as a Founder from his three years building Azoma (previously Ecomtent) thus far, in a must-listen episode for prospective tech founders.
Max starts by emphasising the importance of having a distinct edge and a counterintuitive belief when launching a venture. He walks through the ideation process learned at Entrepreneur First, and the power of leveraging inflection such as a rapidly changing technological or regulatory landscape.
Max then dives into the intricacies of validating ideas quickly through MVPs, and how he raised early capital through angels and accelerator programs like Techstars. He shares tactical strategies around storytelling, customer validation, and go-to-market strategies.
The episode closes with a thought-provoking discussion on the future of AI, its potential impact on education, employment, and governance. Max offers both optimism about AI’s role in democratizing entrepreneurship and learning, and caution around data centralization and ethical risks. From startup hustle to global implications, this is a must-listen for anyone curious about how AI is reshaping business and society.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
