The Rest Is History
656. The Ku Klux Klan: Birth of a Nation (Part 3)
How did the second incarnation of the clan, born in Georgia in 1915, grow into a seemingly indomitable nation-wide fraternal organisation, numbering millions? Who were its new targets? And, with the Klan’s momentum seemingly unstoppable and an election on the horizon, would their appalling violence be publicly condemned?
Join Tom and Dominic as they chart the second rise of the violent, tyrannical, Ku Klux Klan….

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Building Emotional Calluses
If one bad client, refund, or comment can ruin your day…
You’re not ready for scale yet.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the importance of building emotional calluses—the ability to handle pressure, criticism, and client friction without losing focus or momentum.
As your business grows, so does the volume of problems. More clients means more feedback, more complaints, and more situations that test your patience and emotional control.
The key isn’t avoiding problems…
It’s learning how to handle them without letting them control you.
Paul explains how elite entrepreneurs detach emotion from outcomes, enforce strong boundaries, and operate from logic instead of reacting to every situation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why friction with clients is normal and expected at scale
How taking things personally can hurt your performance and decision-making
Why enforcing boundaries protects your time, energy, and margins
How developing emotional resilience helps you stay consistent under pressure
You can’t control how people act…
But you can control how you respond.
Because when you build emotional strength and stay grounded, nothing in the market can shake your focus—and that’s what separates average entrepreneurs from elite operators.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Forging the Unicorn
The perfect hire is not always found.
Sometimes they have to be built.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why elite talent is forged through leadership, training, and clear systems.
Let’s be real…
If you are waiting for a unicorn employee to walk through the door…
With every skill you need…
Perfect instincts…
Zero training required…
And the ability to read your mind…
You are going to be waiting forever.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why A players are built through great leadership
How poor onboarding destroys employee potential
Why structure and standard operating procedures come before scale
How investing in your people creates loyalty, ownership, and elite performance
The truth is simple:
You cannot drop someone into chaos and expect excellence.
If there is no process…
No training…
No communication…
No clear standard…
Even talented people will fail.
That is not always an employee problem.
Sometimes it is a leadership problem.
High-level founders do not just search for unicorns.
They forge them.
They document the process.
They train with patience.
They communicate the standard.
They mentor their key people until the team can execute without constant hand-holding.
Because when your people know you are invested in their growth…
They fight for the vision like it is their own.
Stop waiting for the perfect operator.
Build the environment that creates one.
Invest in your talent.
Set the standard.
And keep leveling up.

The a16z Show
Jack Altman on Product-Market Fit
Jack Altman joins Speedrun to discuss product-market fit, customer feedback, hiring, fundraising, and the realities of building an enduring company.
Drawing on his experience building Lattice from startup to multi-billion-dollar company, Altman explains how founders should think about customer requests, when to pivot, and why some of the hardest decisions come from balancing conviction with market feedback. He shares lessons from the early days of Lattice, including finding product-market fit, building a sales motion, hiring the first employees, and navigating the tradeoffs that emerge as companies scale.
The conversation also covers fundraising, co-founder relationships, startup momentum, and what Altman looks for today as an investor at Alt Capital.
