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?

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
The Cost of Free and not Valuing Your Time
Free is not always free.
Sometimes it costs you the most valuable asset you have.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why trying to do everything yourself just to save money can actually keep you broke.
Let’s be real…
If you spend five hours trying to fix a problem just to save fifty dollars…
You are valuing your time at ten dollars an hour.
And if you are the CEO…
That math does not work.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why doing everything yourself can become a massive liability
How low-level tasks steal time from high-value revenue work
Why hiring experts is often cheaper than wasting your own hours
How to buy back your time and focus on the vision
The truth is simple:
Your job is not to save every penny.
Your job is to build wealth.
That means knowing when to delegate.
Knowing when to hire.
Knowing when to pay for speed.
And knowing when your time is too valuable for the task in front of you.
Too many founders stay stuck trying to save money…
While losing the hours they need to actually scale.
Free can be expensive.
Cheap can be slow.
And doing it yourself can become the biggest bottleneck in your business.
Protect your time.
Deploy your capital.
Hire the experts.
And keep leveling up.

The a16z Show
Building Search for AI Agents with Exa CEO Will Bryk
Sarah Wang speaks with Exa cofounder and CEO Will Bryk about building search infrastructure for the AI era.
The conversation covers Exa’s origins, why traditional search engines were not designed for AI agents, and how search changes when the user is no longer a human but an autonomous system. They discuss retrieval, agent workflows, coding agents, data access, and why search may become a foundational layer for the emerging agent economy.
Along the way, Bryk shares his views on AI-native products, the future of information discovery, and why some of the most important problems in technology can ultimately be framed as search problems.
