Co-founder, Managing Director
TBD Angels
I have an interesting deal for you all, who's interested?
Angel communities have been held back by manual tools and workflows that prevent collaboration on deal flow, slow down investing decisions and, ultimately, prevent broader participation from those that would like to invest in the start-up asset class without the typical constraints of investing in a VC fund.
Jason Burke, Founding Partner at TBD Angels in the Boston area, decided it was time to take matters into his own hands by building software to solve the challenges he was experiencing firsthand. Thus, All Stage was established to provide investment ecosystems with a modern technology platform. Tune in to learn more, the future for All Stage and angel investors everywhere appears to be brighter than ever.

John Carreyrou – Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
[00:00:00] Kjael Skaalerud: Hello, everybody. Welcome to Preferred Return. This is Kjael Skaalerud. I am the CRO over at Altvia, and I am holding the fort or guest emceeing if you will, for Jeff Williams, our Chief Strategy Officer, and with me today, I have Jason Burke, who is the co-founder of TBD angels and the founder of All Stage. What's happening, Jason?
[00:00:28] Jason Burke: Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, excited to chat about what's going on in the world of investing as you mentioned, I co-founded with a handful of colleagues, Angel Group about two years ago called TBD angels. We can talk a little bit about that. And I'm also the founder of All Stage, which is a platform business with a suite of tools really focused on investment communities and founders to optimize the end-to-end funding process within early-stage fundraising and investing and really bringing smart software to the investment ecosystem.
[00:01:05] Kjael Skaalerud: I love it. It sounds like we've subscribed to the same thing, so I'm all about it.
[00:01:11] And I'm very excited to cover both TBD angels and All Stage in a little more detail. And just generally I was hoping we could maybe start with TBD Angels, and what kind of the Genesis was and, and how that moved into All Stage. And, perhaps as we talk through those items, you can share a little bit more about your general thesis around Private Capital Markets, and the role technology will and should play today, and how you kind of see that evolving from a digital transformation perspective. Does that sound cool?
[00:01:44] Jason Burke: That sounds perfect. Yeah. So, first TBD angels – we are an investment group made up of operators, really a bunch of smart folks who have been startup founders have led teams have had successful and unsuccessful exits, and really have the experience in what it takes to grow companies.
[00:02:02] And that allows us as investors to provide a lot more value beyond the check to our portfolio companies in providing guidance and providing introductions, to prospective customers or new employees, and really help provide that much-needed value beyond the actual investment itself.
[00:02:21] And the way TBD came together is that in early 2000, literally weeks before. Our world was put in a blender with the pandemic. A few friends in the Boston area met for lunch and we're talking about what we found to be missing with angel investing. And we were seeing really two problems.
[00:02:40] We're all from the Boston area, which is a really hot, hot area as it relates to things like innovation. And there's an amazing university system in the Boston area. Lots of VCs, lots of great companies, but they really lack a community of investors, and what we wanted to do was create that community in which we, as members of that community could all benefit from being part of a group of like-minded folks, experienced folks, from whom we could learn from whom we could bounce ideas off of from the investment point of view, to do due diligence with And that's really what we wanted to bring together.
[00:03:17] There are a lot of, investment groups that exist out there. But we're seeing that the notion of community was lacking within them and we wanted to create that. And then, two, we really did believe that angel investing within groups is broken. It lacks diversity which, which creates a lot of problems with frankly, diversity helps for making better decisions and better collaboration which at the end of the day drives better performance for the investments that are made.
[00:03:43] It's also very slow moving. And consistently it's not much more than just a check. It's a group of folks deciding to invest. And then writing a check, which frankly in the early stages of a venture, is needed, capital is needed. But that's just the first mile of a marathon in building a company and running a company and making it successful.
[00:04:03] There's a long journey beyond the check. And most investment groups are just that check. And we wanted to become more of that. So, it's really important that we drive value. And we do that through the operator members that come with a lot of experience and large networks themselves.
[00:04:20] Right now we're about 260 members. We cover about 20 U.S. states and several international countries within our membership. We continue to aim for diversity within our group across things like demographics, but also geography, and experiences. And, you know, we're not perfect yet. We continue to improve, but we monitor these things as sort of KPIs each month and track where we're headed, as it relates to these areas of diversity.
[00:04:48] And try to continue to improve. We're a member-driven group. We don't have any employees. We don't have any folks on payroll, it's all sort of volunteer-driven. And various members are sort of picking up the ball and leading efforts around things like portfolio engagement or building tools to allow us to deliver on what we saw as broken with other groups.
[00:05:08] And now we're a little over two years old, we've seen about 350 deals. We've invested in 65. And now there's a lot of thought about, you know, what do we want to be when we grow up? We're still in our infancy, but you know, things like do we stand up a fund?
[00:05:19] Do we start to lead deals? How do we think about later stage deals as it relates to opportunities that are beyond a pre-seed seed and maybe series A. How do we think about secondaries? So it's really fun. We're sort of growing a startup ourselves. We're not a formal startup, but it's sort of like growing a startup where we've grown our membership and we've grown the ways in which we engage with the ecosystem.
[00:05:42] Kjael Skaalerud: Wow. You know, we interact obviously with a lot of groups, I guess, in the angel category. And most of what we hear is the typical scenarios that they lack kind of a single ringleader if you will or an operating budget for a formal entity, it's just kind of like a loosely organized cohort.
[00:05:59] And to your point, that makes all those issues acute in terms of organizing, sharing information, and establishing tools and processes. So it sounds like you're moving in a great direction, frankly. So that's awesome. And I guess in terms of the actual member contribution if you will.
[00:06:14] So I guess the expectation is that as it's distributed and all these members have operator backgrounds, and then I guess they're bringing deals to the table for everybody to kind of review and collaborate on, and then those that want to participate, you structure like an SPV and then they participate that way.
[00:06:31] And then I guess, can you talk a little bit about the origination component and when you post investment, how you start to think of working with the portfolio company and supporting them.
[00:06:42] Jason Burke: Yeah, absolutely. So, our deal flow is from our members. And we're continuing to figure out ways that we can expand beyond that.
[00:06:51] Things like syndication with other investment groups or with VCs, but as it stands right now, our deal flow is coming from our members. This is one of the things that makes it really valuable for TBD to have such a great membership, in both quantities. But as well as, quality being, of utmost importance, frankly just quality of the network.
[00:07:10] And you know, as we continue to grow our membership count, as well as things like geography and things like that. Growing the expertise within the group opens us up to more opportunities because everyone comes with their own touch points with the ecosystem. So, the deal flow is coming from our members.
[00:07:29] These members are submitting deals into our deal flow. We use All Stage, which we'll talk about a bit. At TBD, we've adopted All Stage as our platform to manage all of the activity that happens from the point of seeing the deal through the actual investment itself or up until the investment itself and then portfolio analytics.
[00:07:50] And our investments are done under SPV. So, we aren't a fund today. Every member is able to make their own decisions around, are they in or out of a particular opportunity and then how much do they want to invest? And by running it on an SPV, it also streamlines the process both internally for TBD Angels, as well as for the founders who are receiving one investment, one line item on the cap table.
[00:08:15] But behind that SPV, they may have, you know, upwards of 60. Investors on that investment, which means 60 advocates and evangelists of the company, as the company continues to grow and 60 informal advisors that the company can call on when they're trying to build up their team and they need recommendations on great engineers that they should speak with, or they're trying to adjust their pricing strategy.
[00:08:37] And first trying to get a sense of, has anyone gone through that experience and can they provide feedback? So it's a real sort of a win-win across the board to structure it the way we do.
[00:08:51] Kjael Skaalerud: And then you get into the unwieldy challenge of network management, right? And kind of indexing individuals understanding their operating backgrounds, their area of expertise and then matchmaking as needs happen across the portfolio. And that's definitely a difficult task and obviously, data hygiene plays a part in how you think about structuring data.
[00:09:08] So that you can uncover that kind of connective tissue to find opportunities like that. So that's awesome. And the scale is starting to get really interesting too. So you mentioned you looked at 300 deals and made 65 investments. Did I get that right?
[00:09:22] Jason Burke: Yeah, it's a little over 300 deals and 65 investments. Which may sound like a high ratio of deal flow to investments, but given the way in which our deal flow comes in from our members, our members are already somewhat triaging deals in advance. So this really comes down to, you know, each investment group or angel group may have varying rules and ways in which they manage their deal flows.
[00:09:47] You know, some may operate like TBD Angels where all deal flows coming from their members who have an understanding of what the group wants to see, and sort of filters the opportunities down to what they know might resonate with the group.
[00:10:04] Some groups may have a button on their website that says 'Founders submit here'. And, it's sort of a waterfall of appeals that are coming in. So you know, that's what allows us to investigate probably in a higher percentage of the deals that we quote unquote see because they've been pre-vetted, but that's sort of the way that math works out.
[00:10:29] Kjael Skaalerud: Totally. And we are seeing, I guess the model in ventures, especially evolve a lot where the origination and the sourcing is now distributed and a responsibility of the LPs. So you have groups, like Stage 2 Capital out there, which is all the LPs or go to market leaders, kind of VP level and above revenue leaders, sales leaders, customer success leaders that participated in the fund as LPs.
[00:10:52] Like a by-product of just their role in their reality, they have kind of asymmetric access to all these up and coming groups. Uh, the interactive companies on a regular basis, founders reach out to them for advice. So we're definitely starting to see the actual model start to evolve away from the GP, owning everything from origination through to, you know, diligence investing and then portfolio monitoring and value creation.
[00:11:12] So it sounds like you're having a lot of success with kind of that same sentiment there.
[00:11:17] Jason Burke: Yeah, I think the common denominator across this is a growing introduction of collaboration of members within an angel group, collaboration of LPs within a fund like Stage 2, in being able to bubble up their collective knowledge and networks, to help inform the ways in which the deal flow is structured and the decisions are made.
[00:11:43] It's one of those, several opportunities for software to play a great role. Kjael, you mentioned earlier, just trying to try to get your arms wrapped around, who has what types of experience and which folks within the network have connections with the appropriate companies.
[00:12:02] It's really knowledge management and at the core of that, it's a place where software can play a role and we'll likely see data-driven decisioning around the whole end to end process as well as investment decisioning playing a much bigger role as software platforms come to bear with tools to enable that.
[00:12:24] Kjael Skaalerud: Totally. And we see that, don't want to steal your thunder on All Stage, but I think it would definitely be awesome to move there. I have a sense of, of the Genesis story there just based on TBD and what you all were up to, but that's something that we hear very commonly too, from traditional GPs.
[00:12:39] Where they have kind of legacy technology in place, or a lot of things are manual or individuals are kind of using their own process and tools to execute different things. And so, you know, Sims and like pitch decks and things like that are coming into their inbox. They're socializing them with their team.
[00:12:56] They're trying to stay on the same page about which deals they're excited about. They've got some kind of manual pipeline. How do you collaborate on actual diligence and what you want to see in the end of the deal and how you want to move it forward? And then post-investment right. It's just a network management, meets content management, meets collaboration on decisioning and all the while having record keeping to kind of keep everybody on the same page, marching in the same direction.
[00:13:17] And so I imagine early days of TBD Angels, right? With a small kind of a founder base. Deals are coming in. These are interesting. You're socializing and via email, maybe you set up a slack. Hey, what do we think about this one? Let's meet with the founder, oh we got a term sheet lets socialize that.
[00:13:33] And I imagine at some point you had an aha moment that was like, wow, I'll bet technology could really grease the wheels here. So can you talk to us about the moment when via TBD Angels, that's my assumption there, where you're like, okay. Like there isn't much technology catered to angel groups out there to support the workflows that we're trying to do.
[00:13:51] There's a lot of complexity around information, task, execution, collaboration, et cetera. So what was the tipping point for you all? When it was like, Hey, we need a technology. And then if you could go from there, towards doesn't seem like there's much catered totally towards our kind of profile as an investor, maybe we should build something.
[00:14:08] Jason Burke: That aha moment came very, very early. A lot of times, yeah, it plays out the way you described as that, you face a pain, you deal with that pain for a long time until it becomes unbearable and you need to put a bandaid on it.
[00:14:22] You need to put a formal bandaid on it, but very early into TBD Angels we saw the signs of hockey stick growth on both membership growth, as well as deal flow. And we were doing what a lot of the groups do nowadays and we're using air table to manage all of the deals and all the information about the deals and that metadata.
[00:14:39] And the membership and the activity with the data at TBD Angels, we rely on member voting to move deals forward in the process and to sort of, take some downstream actions, but really quickly recognize that this wasn't going to scale air table or Excel.
[00:15:03] Using slack and email and text messages all great tools on their own, but they're not purpose-built for the real problem statement, which is enabling an investment community, to scaled influx of deal flow and a growing membership, and allow for engagement across that and understanding, you know, who's interested? Is Kjael interested? How much does he want to commit? And trying to do that across 260 members just wasn't going to work.
[00:15:32] And that was really the Genesis for building what started out as a solution to that problem and helping put a product in front of the end users to do what they needed to do: submit deals, vote on deals, review deals that solution became a product , as that product continued to expand with features and functionality and through many conversations with the wider ecosystem to inform roadmap that became the business of All Stage. I'm a big believer that the best products come from folks who are solving their own problems, who have faced the pain themselves and know what needs to be faced.
[00:16:11] And with that said, no product leaders, know everything, or feel all the pain. So conversations with the market are critical to understand what the wider ecosystem needs, and using that to prioritize. And at TBD Angels, we weren't dealing with years of legacy process and trust.
[00:16:30] You know when All Stage was being created, we were only several months old. With a lot of groups, one of the challenges with software making its way into the world of investing is that at least as it relates to early stage investment angel groups is that a lot of angel groups may have been around for 25 years and have been relying on Excel and don't realize what smart software can do to accelerate the efforts of the business.
[00:16:52] We didn't have any legacy process in place and it allowed us to be agile and adopt tools to allow us to move faster, to collaborate and solve some of the friction points that generally exist in the wider, early stage ecosystem.
[00:17:15] Kjael Skaalerud: Totally. And I know it's still early days, but I guess when had the aha moment, you committed towards moving in a more tech forward kind of modern direction, as you mentioned, you had a chance to start the house from scratch instead of ripping down, scaffolding, which can sometimes be more of a challenge.
[00:17:33] I guess what are some of the things that you've observed in terms of better outcomes, better performance, more efficiency, what are some things that have stood out to you since getting All Stage a little bit further baked?
[00:17:44] Jason Burke: Yeah, I think one of the key pieces of any platform that is being introduced into a space that may have had a legacy process and is you know, aiming to be introduced to human beings who are just generally averse to change is that it really does need to solve the real pain points.
[00:18:06] And it has to do it 10 X better than whatever's being used right now. One of the key elements that's just becoming part of our world is, the appetite to be collaborating with others. And that's what's happening with an investment group. So tools that help the group leverage the collective knowledge of that community to make investment decisions, to learn from each other is really important.
[00:18:31] Tools need to provide the table stakes, in the world of of investment groups, you just need the tools to submit deals and have a data room and have a portfolio that's table stakes. That, isn't a differentiator, but it's necessary. Without those things, the platform might as well not exist.
[00:18:49] Then you need to bring that a step beyond especially if you're bringing it into potential groups that have not been using software to date, and now they're needing to convince themselves that they move towards a different process and a different set of tools.
[00:19:06] And that involves like streamlining the overall process and enabling things like voting, transparency into the details related to a deal, bringing this all into one place versus links to Dropbox and a pitch video, all being separate links, coming over email and slack and enabling commitments on deals to happen all in one platform.
[00:19:27] And then bringing it to a really advanced level, and introducing advanced value to the end-users of a product like this and things like allowing investors to use data, to inform investment decisions. Understanding who might be interested in the deal and marry that with an understanding of what that person's background is to perhaps recommend deals to the right people, based on data and an activity that is being seen the platform, and really enabling that collaboration both across investors, as well as between investors and founders.
[00:20:11] And as software helps bring those two together there's a lot of power if you start to connect investors with founders, because there's a lot of pain points when those are a disconnected relationship in the investment process.
[00:20:22] Kjael Skaalerud: That's like totally in line with our thesis, just in terms of how we think about tech maturity, if you will, as a concept where like first order of business is to get data and workflow in one cohesive system, under one roof.
[00:20:34] Right. As you mentioned, it's like, all right, how do we get out of slack? Email text message Dropbox. How do we pull that together into like a singular location? And then once you have your data and workflow in place, you can start to use data visualizations to comprehend data and make decisions more quickly.
[00:20:52] And then as data accumulates over time. You can actually use it to predict outcomes in the future. Right? So as, as the portfolio for TBD scales and you have all that data captured in All Stage, you can start to understand, okay, what are the attributes, the firmographics, the elements of operational performance that identify the real outperformers.
[00:21:10] And then you can get more granular with your thesis, right? Where it gets goes from, you know, we're going for SaaS business thats pre-revenue, that play in these categories, that have strong technical founders, et cetera, to we want to see this level of adoption and daily active usage. We want to see this concentration of competitor set.
[00:21:29] We want to see, you know, geographic distribution to X, Y it just gets two or three levels more granular, which allows you to be much more predictive and inform obviously how you go to market and originate new deals and how you make decisioning on the diligence side. Cool! This is a very exciting time, man.
[00:21:43] This is all really good stuff. Are you having fun?
[00:21:46] Jason Burke: It's a lot of fun. I mean, it's a lot of building the plane while it's in the air. The plane being just the way in which all of this stuff runs and you know, this is an industry effort.
[00:21:59] The industry is going through change. Some of the thesis behind all stage. And if you think about the name of all stage, the thesis is that smart software will play a key role in all stages of investments. So not only early stage, which is the initial focus of the company.
[00:22:21] But going up through supporting funds, supporting VCs, corporate VC, there's a lot of common elements across all of those different types of investments. And obviously also a handful of unique things that are unique to early stage groups of VCs, for example. Um, But really the underlying pieces that software will play a role.
[00:22:42] And it's frankly, it's not software for the sake of software. It really needs to be solving the problems of the market. But we're at a point in time where there is a lot of competition for the best deals. There's a lot of great startups and founders and the entrepreneurial ecosystem has really taken advantage of what's been going on in the world the last few years and creating great companies doing this in a remote fashion and building great technology and great businesses which creates opportunity for investors.
[00:23:15] There will be more and more competition to get into the best deals, to get into the next unicorn. Which means that I think we'll start to see the lines between those different types of investments that I was mentioning, start to blur. So we're already starting to see VC's moving downstream towards pre-seed and seed and even creating funds that are focused on pre-seeds that they get in early.
[00:23:39] And once you start to do that and you have VCs and angel groups and funds starting to look at the same opportunities. It creates a frenemies situation where these groups can be friends and sort of collaborate and share deal flow. But at the same time, there is a competition for these.
[00:23:57] So, this is where software can help play a role in enabling those groups to better interact with each other so that they can improve their own efforts, but also improve the experience for the companies in which they're investing.
[00:24:11] Kjael Skaalerud: For sure. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of really good stuff there.
[00:24:14] And, you know, from Andreessen's, software's eating the world, to a Jay Kreps, the CEO of Confluent, has a quote that that is kind of one of our guiding beliefs too, or just a big message that we bring to the market. And I'll just read it real quick. "It isn't just that businesses use more software, but that increasingly a business is defined in software.
[00:24:31] That is the core processes a business executes from how it produces a product to how it interacts with customers, to how it delivers services are increasingly specified, monitored, and executed in software." Right? So the old saying is every company is a tech company, some just don't know it yet.
[00:24:46] And then the concept that when competition is increasing, right, like in traditional kind of economic business theory, right. It erodes profit until, you know, it costs you to deliver the goods, but what the market's willing to pay. And it's the job of a business operator to kind of engineer a monopoly and maintain it as long as you can.
[00:25:04] And it seems like the incumbents who perhaps weren't as challenged, historically have been running a monopoly for some time. And now that the category is just exploding, right? Like I think 2021 was an all-record breaking year. And obviously there are economic cycles to consider and things like that.
[00:25:19] But we're definitely feeling the same thing where it's like, speed and efficiency are really the name of the game in any business you're at. Technology is one of the greatest sources of operating leverage ever compared to human personnel, historically. And with that said in the context of the industry, right?
[00:25:33] Most are kind of technology laggards, because they haven't been challenged up until this point. And I know you highlighted some of the acute issues on deal sourcing and origination, which is what we hear most often like being first to the right deals. Right. And then we also feel that and hear a lot of that from GPs, when it comes to fundraising, It's like, hey, there's more players in our category.
[00:25:51] It's harder to stand out from the pack. Everybody's returns and performance are generally pretty good. LPs have defined allocations to our strategy or to our stage. And we're all fighting for the same capital. So how do we bring that speed and effectiveness on the fundraising side? Right?
[00:26:05] Cause in the middle is, it is traditionally speaking is a fund, right? And one side of the business is focused on bringing capital and resources and courting LPs, and bringing them into the fund and selling their track record, selling their thesis, et cetera. And then on the other side of the equation, you're deploying capital out of the fund, where you're still selling returns, selling track record, you know, helping management teams and CEOs understand, you know, your place for value creation and how you bring kind of wealth and prosperity to them and their employees.
[00:26:28] So it's, it's a very interesting time of the category. And I guess, do you see the industry at large being shooken up, so to speak over the next three, four years? I guess I'll prompt you a little bit, especially with the increasing, rate with which former founder, operators, tech executives are moving into venture, whether it's as Angels or participating in launching their own fund, following a big exit, something like that.
[00:26:55] Another data point that's interesting is for the first time ever, there are more Private Capital Fund Managers than Hedge Fund Managers. And we all know the approach that Hedge Funds have historically taken. Very data-driven right, they're, you know, taking satellite images and blending them with target, purchase, you know, data to understand and speculate on the price of peanut butter.
[00:27:14] Right. So they're obviously going to bring that rigor to the privates, I guess, do you see the category being shooken up pretty extensively over the next couple of years? Or do you think it's going to take a longer time? And then I guess how long do you think it's going to take to get there?
[00:27:30] Jason Burke: I think we are starting to, so yes, I do think that will happen. And too, I don't think it's actually necessarily that far off, if you and I were chatting 10 years ago in 2012 than sure. It takes a long time to move a market. I mean, you quoted Andreesen, around software's eating the world, and we've seen this happen in things like media and retail and transportation that's already happened.
[00:27:50] It's been slower to investing, but we're already starting to see that start to appear with the platforms creating commercial tools for things like what you mentioned around workflow and analytics and portfolio management. Some great things coming out of companies for transactions.
[00:28:09] Like what you see out of Angel List and Allocations and Assure and startup pitches what Stonks is doing, and enabling you know, real time activity during pitches and equity management from Carta and Shoobx. And, you know, these are all software solutions to real customer problems.
[00:28:29] And, you know, the fact that some of those company names that I mentioned are very, very valuable companies. The reason why these companies are focused on this is that they see the writing on the wall as well. And yeah, I think we'll see more and more decisions being made with data, whether it's something like satellite imagery being used to figure out where the best peaches are being grown or, you know, some VCs are pulling data out of GitHub to start to understand trends with respect to different technology and where things are happening and using that to inform their focus and their investment.
[00:29:02] So we'll, we'll see more and more of this. These are things that can't be done with human beings. Even the smartest human beings, there's only so much that can be done by the human brain. And it really needs a matter of combining the person and the people with the right tools. And those two in combination can really help move everything forward.
[00:29:26] Kjael Skaalerud: All right. Excellent. Well, we're coming up time, so we better start to wrap up. If it's okay. Maybe get a little bit personal. And then one question that I really like asking is and I'm borrowing this from, from Tim Ferris, who was maybe the grandfather of podcasts at one point, but, what is a book that, you most often give away or like the book that you recommend the most?
[00:29:48] Jason Burke: The book that I've really, really enjoyed a lot in recent years um, has been the Theranos book. Obviously there's been a lot talks about both on the news channels as the trials happening, as well as several made for TV documentaries.
[00:30:04] But it's really great in reading through the dynamics between the founders and investors, the founder and the board, the founders and the employees, and the ways in which the employees reacted to this. Frankly for me personally, it was a lot of fun because I used to live out in the valley and a lot of references to locations of where some of the Theranos offices were.
[00:30:28] And where some of the dirty activity was happening are places that I knew. And it took me a long time to read the book because I would continue to pause and look at names on LinkedIn and seeing where I was connected. So it was a real lot of fun, but, you know it makes for great stories in the media. But it's also a world that we're all part of as we're building businesses and also investing in businesses.
[00:30:54] Kjael Skaalerud: And iconic story. Right. And to your point, I think that there's always a dynamic between operators and the board, the operators and investors and the board. A lot of times the investors are on the board and then you have the employee populations. And how do you kind of manage expectations and communicate across the board and keep everybody jazzed and motivated, but also, approach those conversations with honesty and integrity.
[00:31:17] There's a lot of action there. So right on, man, thank you so much for your time. This has been an awesome conversation and thanks to everybody for tuning into Preferred Return and more stuff coming at you soon.

The term "social contract" refers to the idea that the state exists only to serve the will of the people, who are the source of all political power enjoyed by the state. The people can choose to give or withhold this power. The idea of the social contract is one of the foundations of the American political system.
The term "social contract" can be found as far back as the writings of Plato. However, English philosopher Thomas Hobbes expanded on the idea when he wrote "Leviathan," his philosophical response to the English Civil War. In the book, he wrote that in early human history there was no government. Instead, those who were the strongest could take control and use their power over others at any time. His famous summation of life in "nature" (before government) is that it was "nasty, brutish, and short." Hobbes' theory was that the people mutually agreed to create a state, giving it only enough power to provide protection of their well-being. However, in Hobbes' theory, once the power was given to the state, the people then relinquished any right to that power. In effect, that was the price of the protection they sought.
Jean Jacques Rousseau and John Locke each took the social contract theory one step further. Rousseau wrote "The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right," in which he explained that the government is based on the idea of popular sovereignty. The essence of this idea is that the will of the people as a whole gives power and direction to the state.
John Locke also based his political writings on the idea of the social contract. He stressed the role of the individual and the idea that in the "State of Nature," people are essentially free. However, they might decide to form a government to punish any individuals who go against the laws of nature and harm others. Locke further posited that if this government no longer protected each individual's right to life, liberty, and property, then revolution was not just a right but an obligation.
The idea of the social contract had a huge impact on the Founding Fathers, especially Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The U.S. Constitution itself starts with the three words, "We the people...," embodying this idea of popular sovereignty in the very beginning of this key document. Following from this principle, a government established by the free choice of its people is required to serve the people, who in the end have sovereignty, or supreme power, to keep or get rid of that government.
As with many philosophical ideas behind the political theory, the social contract has inspired various forms and interpretations and has been evoked by many different groups throughout American history. Revolutionary-era Americans favored social contract theory over the British Tory concepts of patriarchal government and looked to the social contract as support for the rebellion. During the antebellum and Civil War periods, social contract theory was used by all sides. Slaveholders used it to support states' rights and succession, Whig party moderates upheld the social contract as a symbol of continuity in government, and abolitionists found support in Locke's theories of natural rights. Historians also have linked social contract theories to pivotal social movements such as those for Native American rights, civil rights, immigration reform, and women's rights.

Even on home video "Furie" packs a punch.
2019's been a great year for action films. It's not just John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum or Avengers: Endgame which blew peoples' minds, but smaller films like Shadow, Avengement, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, Big Brother, and Furie. If you missed any of these films and you dig smart action sequences structured for maximum impact, then you're in luck! Most are coming to home video or are already available. Furie is the latest to hit shelves and remains one of the strongest films to come out of 2019 and rests in this reviewer's #19 spot for top films of the year. It may not contain the beauty of Shadow, the brutally of Avengement, or the budgets of Wick or Endgame, but Furie makes up for it by being completely relentless. Co-directed by Le Van Kiet and lead actress Veronica Ngo (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Furie is the kind of a movie which makes a statement: don't mess with Ngo or her family.
If you want to know more in a spoiler-free way, head over to our review. You've been warned.
Veronica Ngo as Hai in FURIE.
Le Huynh Ngoc Phuong (Ngo), known as Hai, is a former Saigon enforcer who left that life behind her once she became pregnant. With no other skills, however, she continues to use her talents for pain as a debt collector in a small village far from the bustle of Saigon. Hai's reputation as the local heavy puts a strain on her relationship with her daughter Mai (Mai Cat Vi), despite only continuing the work to keep Mai in school. No matter how much Hai tries to put her past behind her, her demons have a way of finding her as Mai is kidnapped by human traffickers. Tracking them to Saigon, Hai must not only contend with her past but also with Officer Luong (Thanh Nhien Phan), a Saigon cop on the trail of the traffickers. With nothing to lose but her child, Hai will not stop until her child is regained.
Part of what makes Furie so memorable, even several months after its theatrical release, isn't just the stunts, the visual components, or the story, but the fact that so much of the stuntwork is performed by Ngo and Phan. Evidently, the training period for both was incredibly short before filming began, yet everything they did looks impressive and utterly professional. Ngo possesses experience doing stuntwork, whereas Phan does not. In one of four behind the scenes features, Phan discusses how he joined Furie, the challenges he faced, and the process of training. Unlike Ngo who came to the project with training, Phan was utterly unschooled, arriving with a background in extreme sports only. In fact, a trip to Everest left him with permanent brain trauma, making it difficult to both learn dialogue and recite lines. Additionally, since he'd never acted before, a coach was brought in to help him learn how to be present and react naturally when in a scene. Ngo herself doesn't receive a solo behind the scenes offering like Phan or Mai Cat Vi, but we do get some sense of what the project meant to her and the process of shooting through the collective featurettes. Most notably, a story is dished out through the course of the featurettes in which we learn that Ngo broke her leg during a stunt yet kept filming. When Tom Cruise broke his ankle filming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, audiences clamored to see the footage and glorified his work ethic. No one's going to call that into question, especially since you can see the moment happen within the film, but Ngo broke her leg and kept shooting. This speaks to the level of focus and dedication to her craft.
Beyond the featurettes, the home release includes the usual previews for other upcoming Well Go USA home releases —Shadow, Triple Threat, and Master Z: Ip Man Legacy — and the theatrical trailer for Furie. Anyone looking for a commentary track will be sorely disappointed, but at least they have the featurettes, which offer plenty of information on the creation of Furie. In total, the four featurettes run between 3-4 minutes a piece, but what they reveal about the process of filming, the dedication of the actors, and the talent behind the stunts and direction makes you wish each one was longer.
L-R: Mai Cat Vi as Mai and Veronica Ngo as Hai in FURIE.
Whether you saw Furie during its theatrical run or you're coming to it on home video, the chance to revisit Furie is a treat. Unlike a lot of action films which rely on machismo to carry the moments between fights, Furie's quiet moments serve to push the narrative forward in occasionally heartbreaking ways. But that's not why you'll come to a movie like Furie. You're coming to watch people get their butts whooped and you'll get that in spades. From the lengthy chase after Mai's kidnapping which moves from a foot chase to a boat to a motorcycle all the way to the near-climatic train sequence, there's not a fight scene which won't incite an audible reaction. Get ready for some truly delicious beatdowns and beware her fury.
Available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and digital beginning July 2nd, 2019.

I while ago someone on The Simple Dollar made a comment questioning the electricity usage of a Kindle. At the time I thought to myself that a Kindle couldn't possibly use much electricity. Small electronics like cell phones and tables and the like really don't use much power and their small batteries require little electricity to charge them. But I like to have actual facts rather than just simple assumptions. Therefore I set off to find out how much electricity a Kindle actually uses and how much the electricity it would cost to operate one.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is probably the worst case as far as Kindle models go. It has color screen and a more powerful processor so it will use more electricity than the other models. I'm going to just look at the Fire since its the worst case, the other simpler black and white models will be cheaper to operate.
The Kindle Fire has a battery with 16.28 Wh capacity. Thats 0.1628 kWh. The average cost of a single kWh is about 11¢/. Based on these numbers it would cost 0.17908¢ to charge the battery of a Kindle Fire.
You can charge the battery in a Kindle Fire 5.58 times for a single penny worth of electricity.
Amazon says that the Kindle Fire will last 8 hours of reading on a single charge. One penny worth of electricity will get you 44.64 hours worth of reading on a Fire.
An average book is approximately 70,000 words. An average adult reads about 250 words a minute.
1 penny = 44.64 hours reading = 2678.4 minutes reading = 669,600 words = 9.565 books.
For the cost of 1 penny worth of electricity an average speed reader can read approximately 9 1/2 average size books on a Fire.
The Kindle Fire will also play movies and videos. The Amazon specs say that the Fire will play 7.5 hours of video on a battery charge. Nearly as much as the reading time on a single battery charge.
Since a penny of electricity will charge a Fire 5.58 times and a single charge will give you 7.5 hours of video you can get 41.85 hours of video playback on a Fire for 1 penny worth of electricity.
Of course all of these numbers are just averages and your mileage will vary.
Bottom Line : A Kindle is very cheap to operate and the electricity bill should be almost negligible.


The County Commission again targets whistleblowers on the development authority.
On Thursday, Jan. 17th, the Jefferson County Commission (JCC) is considering a measure that targets whistleblowers on the Jefferson County Development Authority (JCDA). The agenda item #10 would remove remaining JCDA board members and delay appointing new members. Jefferson County Vision opposes this action and urges the JCC to defeat it on Thursday.
First, this measure is unnecessary, as there are 39 applicants for just three open JCDA positions-- there are a wealth of suitable applicants ready to serve, and the JCC should move to fill the open seats.
More troubling, this agenda item appears to be another attempt at retribution against the courageous whistleblowers who remain on the JDCA. From start to finish, the Eric Lewis-led JCDA's waterline project was highly irregular. The JCDA failed to register as a utility as required by law, the Rockwool MOU provided a no-bid contract to Jefferson Utilities, and the JCDA and the state intervened to seize valuable government contracts from Ranson. Most of the JCDA board members directly involved in these actions have already resigned.
We encourage everyone to contact the Jefferson County Commission and urge them to oppose removing remaining JCDA members.
Again, we urge a NO vote on Agenda Item #10.
Jefferson County Vision is recording Commissioners' votes on Agenda Item #10, and will use this information as part of its voter education efforts in future elections.

Congress Party Launches Mobile App And Pepper Sprays For Bihar Women
By suma suma
The Congress party launched a mobile app and pepper sprays named after late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, for promoting self-defense amongst the women in Bihar. The pepper spray cans features the image of Congress Party's president, Rahul Gandhi, while the mobile app is called "Indira Shakti". The pepper spray and Indira Shakti app can be used by the ladies during times of troubles and distress.
Shaktisinh Gohil, the AICC in-charge of Bihar Shakti, launched the app at an event organized to commemorate the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, at Sadaqat Ashram, BPCC headquarters, Patna. According to Gohil, the day was apt for the launch of Indira Shakti as Rajiv Gandhi always supported women empowerment and technological innovation.
"The app is named after Indira Gandhi to fill the women with a sense of empowerment. Users need to enter numbers of any four trusted persons and, in the event of any emergency, they just need to press tap on the app's icon and press the SOS button. All the four recipients will receive calls with location of the user," Gohil told the media.The event was followed by distribution of pepper sprays with the picture of Rahul Gandhi printed on them. "It is a very effective spray and in view of the rising incidents of crimes against women, it can come in handy. It is a device the size of a lipstick and can be carried everywhere with ease", Gohil added.
The app and the pepper spray are being sensed as another strategy to achieve electoral success after women of Bihar came forward as a strong political force, leading to the victory of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who had distributed bicycles and uniforms to school-going girls in Bihar.Kumar had also banned the sale and consumption of alcohol in 2016 to reach out to Bihar's women for votes. Congress is taking similar measures to multiply its support base in Bihar.Taking advantage of the situation, the spokesman of the Janata Dal (United), Ajay Alok, made a mocking remark on Rahul Gandhi and said, "I hope before allowing his photographs on the devices, Rahul Gandhi had tested that the spray works".

This publication unearths 4 universal styles of interplay within the treatment partnership, and explains how social strength dynamics impact these patterns.
Societal concerns dependent in energy and privilege necessarily input the remedy room. during this ebook writer Malin Fors deals an intersectional grammar to unmask the hidden dynamics. Integrating thought, examine, and a wealth of scientific narratives, Fors explores 4 middle occasions: while therapist and sufferer have comparable degrees of social strength, whilst both therapist or sufferer has extra privilege relative to the opposite, and while either therapist and sufferer have comparable degrees of nonprivilege.
This clean synthesis—for which the writer was once offered the 2016 APA department 39 Johanna okay. Tabin ebook suggestion Prize—offers new language for realizing strength dynamics in psychotherapy, counseling, and all remedy relationships. medical themes explored contain voluntary and involuntary self-disclosure, obvious and invisible similarities among sufferer and therapist, internalized oppression, and selecting even if to deal with privilege explicitly, between many others.
Nancy McWilliams contributed the Foreword to this booklet, which provides execs from any treatment orientation a useful framework for aligning their wish for social justice with therapeutic interactions round race, gender, sexuality, skill, category, age, and different differences.

The nation is proud of IITs and what they have achieved, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he addressed students at the convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay.
"Innovations and enterprise will be the foundation stone for making India a developed economy. A long-term sustainable technology-led economic growth is possible on this foundation," PM Modi said.
He was welcomed in Mumbai by Maharashtra Governor CV Rao, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar, state BJP chief Raosaheb Patil-Danve, Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar and other officials.
PM Modi asked the graduating IIT-Bombay students to innovate for India and humanity.
"Let us affirm that the best ideas will come from Indian laboratories and from Indian students. From mitigating climate change to ensuring better agricultural productivity, from cleaner energy to water conservation, from combating malnutrition to effective waste management," PM Modi said.
Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar was also present at the event.
The Prime Minister said India is now looked upon as a nursery of unicorn start-ups (worth more than $1 billion), for which one of the biggest sources of talent are the IITs.
"That India is emerging as the hub for start-ups shows the thirst for innovations… We must make India as the most attractive destination for innovations and enterprise," PM Modi added.
"We must build on this… It will not happen only through government efforts but by youngsters here… The best ideas come in their minds and not in government offices," PM Modi said.
Earlier, IIT-B conferred an honorary Doctor of Science on former alumnus, Romesh T Wadhvani, the founder-chairman of Symphony Technology Group in California, US.
PM Modi gave away gold medals to three top students of IIT-B and silver medals to 43 others in various categories.
Later, PM Modi inaugurated the building of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering and the Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering, at the IIT-B, that has been selected as one of the Institutions of Eminence by the government.

Ghana's Hack for Big Choices "largest ever in Africa"
By Tom Jackson on March 12, 2015 Events, West Africa
The Hack for Big Choices event in Accra, Ghana, originally billed as the largest hackathon ever held in West Africa, eventually turned out to be the largest ever hosted in Africa as a whole.
Disrupt Africa reported in February on the event, hosted by San Francisco-based non-profit Hack for Big Choices, which aimed to find solutions to challenges in the region and offer successful entrepreneurs long-term support.
Facebook, through its Internet.org initiative, and WordPress were the two major sponsors of the hackathon.
Hack for Big Choices said it had expected the event to be the largest hackathon ever in West Africa, but in the end there were 400 general participants, including 215 hackers, from all over the West African region, making it the largest in Africa.
"We were initially expecting to have the biggest hackathon ever in West Africa but then these thirsty entrepreneurs surprised us and it turned out to be the biggest hackathon ever on the entire continent!" Aurora Chiste, chief executive officer (CEO) of Hack For Big Choices, said.
There event also saw international attendees from the United States, Norway, Canada, India, and Italy, with participants including students, consultants, web developers, software developers, healthcare professionals material scientists, clergymen, economists, entrepreneurs, anthropologists, and fashion designers.

Q: Assign keyboard shortcuts for adjusting keyboard brightness I have a Macbook Air (M1, 2020) and one of the few things I don't like about it is that it does not have dedicated function keys for increasing/decreasing the keyboard backlight brightness.  I know that I can control the keyboard brightness from the control center, and that I can place a brightness controller on the menu bar; I also know that I can use Karabiner elements to remap existing function keys to keyboard brightness up and down.
But what I want to do is create custom keyboard shortcuts -- say, for example, shift-F1 and shift-F2 -- for this purpose, without eliminating the existing defaults.  Is there a way to do that, either using Karabiner or some other tool?

A: With Karabiner-Elements, you can import a complex_modifications rule named Keyboard Brightness Adjustment, it enables that:

command-f1 and f2 to adjust keyboard brightness

You can also customize the keys:

*

*Open the Keyboard Brightness Adjustment page, select "Copy JSON URL" from the drop list beside the "Import" button.

*Open the JSON URL in browser, save it as a file which named keyboard-brightness.json.

*Open keyboard-brightness.json with a plan text editor (e.g. Sublime), find all of the command and replace them with shift, save the file.

*Copy your amazing JSON file into ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/, then import rules from Karabiner-Elements Preferences:

Karabiner-Elements > Preferences > Complex Modifications > Add rule > Enable your rule - shift-f1 and f2 to adjust keyboard brightness

Then it should work.
If you have other rules, move the rule to the top by dragging the ⇅ icon to make sure it works well.

Inoi 5i with 1GB RAM, 8GB internal, MediaTek MT6739, Proximity sensor, and 2850mAh battery.
Russian mobile phone maker company Inoi has launched one more entry-level smartphone named Inoi 5i with Android 8.1 Oreo and 2850mAh battery. However, the company has already launched Inoi 5X with Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition. Information about price and availability for this phone not revealed yet.
The phone is made of plastic body with metal side volume rockers and power button. Front side it is featured with a 5.5-inch full-view display with 640 x 1280 pixels resolutions and 18:9 aspect ratio. Rear side it has a dual-rear camera in a horizontal position along with LED flash. However, Inoi labeled at the bottom rear side of the phone just above the speakers of the phone.
Inoi 5i is powered by MediaTek MT6739 SoC coupled with a quad-core processor with 4 cores and 1300MHz frequency. For graphics, it has PowerVR GE8100 with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. Internal storage is expandable up to 64GB with an external MicroSD card.
Surprisingly, Inoi has managed to provide dual rear camera on this entry-level phone with 8MP primary camera sensor and 0.3MP secondary camera sensor on rear side along with LED flash. Front side it has 5MP selfie shooter with some of best selfie features.
It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo OS out of the box. For connectivity, it offers 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 3.5mm audio jack and GPS / AGPS. To keep its light on it is powered with 2850mAh Li-polymer non-removable battery.


While announcing his new slate of gun control measures designed to pave the way for a national gun registration regime, President Obama welled up in a press conference on Tuesday. He'd spent nearly half an hour berating Republicans, American voters and the National Rifle Association for their supposed intransigence in failing to embrace his executive actions.
Finally, he reached up to his eyes, rubbed at them, and as tears wet his cheeks, he stated, "Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad. ... We need voters who want safer gun laws, and who are disappointed in leaders who stand in their way, to remember come election time."
But he can't do it without the tears. That's because the tears grant him the patina of vulnerability. No one fears the dictator who shows his human side. We view those who violate our rights as nefarious members of an evil cabal, lurking in the night while cackling. We don't view them as highly attuned, sensitive people — after all, the logic goes, if they were that sensitive, they'd stop before violating the rights of others.
That's why President Obama followed up his lachrymose performance with a call to action against all of his enemies. It's why he talked at length about shredding the Second Amendment in favor of "other rights," as though my right to own a gun endangers your right to pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. It's why the media immediately leapt to cover Obama's waterworks instead of his policies — because the story is Obama's emotional heroism and essential decency, not his absolute failure to find any real solution to gun violence.
So look for more Obama emotional blackmail. And look for more stories about Obama's emotional journey from the compliant press, which prints narratives about empathetic heroes — even if those heroes are busy violating other people's rights at every turn.
