When I started my first company back in 2012, I realized something big: Accountants are the heartbeat of every business—they’re the ones keeping everything honest behind the scenes. But, I also noticed they’re often stuck with outdated, manual tools, doing work that could and should be automated. This seemed...

@mashadrokova "Puzzle has a different vision: empowering, not replacing, accounting professionals." Oh, I'm all ears. Tell me more. How will you not replace them? "By automating 90% of their work." Oh, I see.

Thanks for the comment. It’s an important nuance, and we can surely get better at the distinction. Accountants will never go away. But accountants add a lot more value to improving financial health than manually preparing financial statements. 100% of CFOs used to be CPAs. Now less than half are. It’s not accounting’s fault. It’s the software. We think better software means more companies can afford the expertise of amazing accountants, and accountants can focus on higher value work.

AI is going to radically remake accounting. Recently chatted w/ Seema Amble (Partner at A16Z) about this topic. Nearly a year go, she published a market map. Since then she has been - talking to companies about accounting needs - talking to accounting firms about how they are leveraging AI - talking to startups building in the space We cover what she’s learned including: - why accounting is already a profession in crisis - what are the specific “jobs-to-be-done” by AI in accounting - why LLMs not being 100% accurate is for more of accounting than you might think! - what are some of the growth vectors accountants should be exploring -how this changes accounting's business model (the billable hour) & more Great conversation if you want to know how AI is remaking one of the key sectors of finance. And if you want to understand gaps in current landscape that might be opportunities to build a new company.

I never wanted to be a politician and I still don’t. I’ve had two successful careers and have started a few small businesses. I’ve also worked for some big corporations. I was ready to retire and spend more time with my family – which I’ve done for the past 3 years. I think they’re ready for me to find something else to do. I’m tired of seeing the leaders of our country being influenced by the toxic divisions that are tearing apart our families and society. It’s time for me to step up and do my civic duty. To give back and try and change things for the better. If not me, who? If not now, when? It’s easy to look at the economy and realize that something has gone horribly wrong. Working people, the middle class, and small businesses have been losing ground over the past 20 years. The goose that lays the golden eggs for our country has been kicked around and squeezed to the point where laying more golden eggs is almost impossible. Consider that since 2000 the cost of food has risen more than double the rise in average household income. The cost of a home has risen 6 times and the amount of government spending 5 and a half times. The S&P 500 has gone up 9 times more than the rise in average household income. To everyone who works and is trying to do the right thing for their family, to everyone who is young and wonders why their lives are worse than their parents: you are not wrong. And yet, who have we allowed to have the most influence over our government? Big corporate executives and big union bosses. Big tech, big pharma, big media, big whatever – all trying to control big government in Washington DC. This needs to stop. Our government spends money on the wrong things and spends way too much. One thing the federal government should certainly be responsible for is the security of our borders. Instead, we see millions of people coming in without any accounting for who they are, what they intend to do, or what they’re bringing with them. And they’re being given access to all sorts of handouts at our expense. At a minimum, the federal government and the state governments should be working together to enforce existing laws and secure the border. Seeing our government at war with itself is unacceptable. For my whole life, in every place I’ve ever lived, I’ve seen people working to provide for their family. Values like self-sacrifice, faith, integrity, fidelity, and valor are simply part of who these people are. They do these things not because the government tells them to, but because they know the right things to do - moral obligations that are freely chosen, not mandated by a government. It doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes a family, and it takes families to make a village. The sad reality is that many children in our country are suffering. Years of ridiculing and demeaning old fashioned “family values” have taken a toll. Our society’s strength, fundamentally linked to the vitality of the family structure, has been eroded. I want to champion the traditional family as critical for a child’s development and success. The data proves this. However, my approach will be inclusive, recognizing all who step up to provide for their children. I’m not worried about the government being a safety net. I want the government to stop being an impediment. I’m ready to go to DC and see if I can help bring back sanity and civility to the public discourse on these issues and all the other issues that face our great nation. We need bold leaders for such a time as this.

Angry Democrat caller ERUPTS live on C-SPAN, torches Democrats over govt shutdown — announces he’s LEAVING the party. “I’m a Democrat, but I don’t understand what the party is doing… They’re holding out because THEY DON’T LIKE THE ORANGE MAN IN OFFICE. “So why are they blaming the other side when they’re the ones that have to come to the table and do the votes? They have to vote the right way to open the government and make sure that everybody has their checks and is getting paid. “And I think it’s kind of cruel to actually sit back and not participate because you don’t feel like the other party is doing what you want them to do. “There’s a trans section in there as well. They want to give money to afford trans surgeries for young kids. “And all this stuff that the Democrats have now gone into, which I am nowhere near. In fact, I think I’m going to be LEAVING the Democrat Party because this happens too often where they’re blaming the opposite party when they know they can do the right thing. “They need to do the right thing and reopen this government instead of keeping it shut down. Like they’re hijacking the American people. I’ve seen it before. We’ve seen them vote the right way when they’re in power, so why the hell can’t they vote the right way when they’re not in power? “So get this government back open. Get the American people what they deserve. And this is basically a Schumer shutdown. From what I’ve seen, from what I’ve been watching on C-SPAN, what they show [is] the Democrats whining and crying and blaming. That’s what I see.” The caller’s rant clearly left the C-SPAN host unamused. “All right, Jason,” she said before moving on to the next caller.

Erin O'Toole comments on Mark Carney's NATO speech with CBC "It's something that the Conservatives have been calling for for many years, something that I, in Parliament for years, advocated." "And he even alluded to that, saying he wasn't doing this to make NATO accountants happy." "I think sliding over the Coast Guard, he's artificially making 2%, I would suggest, in the first year. But I like the commitment" "So I'm generally very positive, although I do think this was done ahead of the G7, ahead of the NATO meetings, to make it seem that we're meeting the target a little faster than we truly are."

RFK Jr. just announced he will be releasing new dietary guidelines over the next few months. It will emphasize adding more protein and healthy fats—especially from dairy. “I grew up in a world where milk was the healthiest thing that you could consume.” “There's been an attack on whole milk, cheese, and yogurt over the past couple of decades.” “Brooke and I and our agencies are about to release new dietary guidelines in the next several months that will elevate those products to where they ought to be in terms of contributing to the health of our children.” “There's tremendous amount of emerging science that talks about the need for more protein in our diet and more fats in our diet.” “There's no industry that does that better than the dairy industry.” “This industry over the past ten years, has removed 60% of the sugar from milk products in school lunches.” “They've pledged to continue to reduce the amount of sugar in the food.”

PM MODI DESTROYS OPPOSITION 🔥 "If our media friends analyse, they will find that for some time now, this House has been used either for election warm-up or to vent frustration over defeat. I have seen some states where, after being in power, there is so much anti-incumbency that they are unable to reach out to the public. They are unable to express their views before the people, and so they vent all their anger in the House. And some parties have started a new trend of using the House for their state politics. Now they should reconsider the game they have been playing for the last 10 years, which the country is not accepting. They should at least change their methods and their strategies. I am ready to give them tips on how they should perform, but at least do not ignore the rights of MPs; give them the opportunity to express themselves..."

I built an app in Softr for the HVAC industry to solve some crucial problems. The problem is that those in the HVAC industry and similar industries like construction, plumbing, and electrical do not have one source of truth where: 1. Their clients can request for thier services. 2. Clients can be onboarded after they make a payment. 3. They store the information and bio data of their technicians. 4. They assign tasks to their technicians. 5. Technicians can track onsite jobs with pictures in real time of when working. 6. Clients see the progress of their projects. 7. Invoices and quotations from paid clients can be tracked. 8. Technicians borrow assets from the company, and they can be tracked. 9. There is a database where every individual, from technicians to admin and clients, are all stored. 10. Login details from every individual are secured and they can only see things that are their business without seeing that of another person, be ita technician or a client. These and many more are what people in these industries face as a challenge. I came up with a solution that addresses all these problems. I built a workflow that also auto-populated the users table in the database with technicians and clients when the records are filled in the technician and client tables, respectively. There is also a workflow that sends an email to the admin when a client makes a request from the portal. Taking advantage of the database, workflow, and portal gave a full-blown application for the HVAC industry. If you are in the construction, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC industry and you need a similar build, reach out, and I will be more than happy to replicate this for you or something similar in Softr.

Zack Polanski on renationalising the water companies, “I talk a lot about nationalising the water companies.” “We also need to be clear that, in and of itself, is not a socialist policy.” “It’s a policy that I think is strongly important.” “I think it moves us towards socialism.” “But actually, that should be the first step.” “Ultimately, we need much greater worker control.” “So I’d go further than the question actually.” “I’d say I’m more than just interested.” “I would say this is crucial if we’re going to change society in the ways that I’ve been talking about today.” “We know these changes cannot come from the top down.” “And again, it might sound odd as a political leader to say this, but they’re not going to come from political leadership.” “They’re probably not solely going to come from political parties.” “They’re going to come from workers.” “They’re going to come from workers on boards making their decisions about how things go.” “Now, the reason why I talked about water companies is I want to talk about an odd thing that’s just happened in London, or happened last year.” “So I’ve been talking to Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, for a while now about nationalising Thames Water, the water company.” “And I am not coming here to slate Sadiq.” “He’s one of the better Labour politicians.” “But we do have disagreements in times and this is one of the more telling.” “He said, “I don’t have the power to do that.”” “He didn’t seem really interested in the conversation.” “At one point he said he wasn’t the leader of a political party and he didn’t have the platform I do.” “I had to remind him that the Mayor of London does have quite a big platform.” “And talking about water nationalisation would not go unignored and might mean Keir Starmer had to talk about it a little bit more.” “Anyway, he wasn’t willing to do that.” “So then I went at a lower stage and I said, “In many water companies across Europe, they have political representatives on the water boards.”” “So even if it’s privately held, there are still people who are democratically elected who are there to make decisions.”” “And he still wasn’t willing to go that far.” “And so we have a huge gap right now between where our political system is, which is they don’t even think there should be democratic governance on privately held water companies, and what are public goods and vital goods for so many people, whether we’re talking about water or indeed food.”” “But that still wouldn’t be enough.” “It’s not just about democratic governance.” “We should have workers and the people who understand those industries in those rooms helping to make those decisions.” “So absolutely, a cooperative model, a worker-led model, I don’t think should be an if.” “It needs to be a when.” “Because we know right now, with all the problems in our society, they are only going to get worse unless we have a much stronger grassroots, community-led approach to everything in society, but particularly the workplace, particularly businesses, to make sure that the people who are producing and the people who are making the work happen are also there, making sure that they’re vitally involved in the decisions, and also they’re being paid properly and treated with dignity and care.”

The Most Dangerous Phrase in Midlife Fitness: “I Used To…” “I used to run faster.” “I used to lift heavier.” “I used to train every day.” I hear this constantly. In the office. In the gym. From people who still care deeply about being capable… yet are often injured. I always ask patients what sports they play. Not uncommonly, they’ll answer football or basketball. I’ll ask when they last did it… the answer is universally— in college or high school. Then a spark woke them up, and they tried to get back to the things they did 20-30 years ago. While that’s not impossible, it requires a far different approach. The problem isn’t remembering the past. It’s training as if the past is the standard you still have to meet. When training is anchored to past ability, the focus shifts away from adaptation and toward proving something. Over time, that almost always leads to frustration, injury, disengagement, and a visit to my office. Midlife isn’t about reclaiming an earlier version of yourself. That version lived in a different body, with different recovery capacity, different stress, and different biology. What you have now is a different body. Not a broken one. Not an inferior one. Just different. But one that is still able to adapt and achieve. The people who age well in sport and in life understand this sooner rather than later. They stop chasing intenisty volume for its own sake. They become more selective about intensity and focus on consistency. They leave room for recovery. They care less about what a workout looks like and more about what it allows them to do tomorrow. They aren’t lowering standards. They’re changing the rules… they’re adapting. For the longest time, I didn’t do this. I was working out in my late 50s as I did in my 20s… and I was often hurt or aching enough that the next day was a bust. The question stops being, “Can I still do what I used to do?” It becomes, “What do I need to do now to stay strong, capable, and independent ten years from today?” That shift isn’t quitting. It’s about choosing healthspan… and adapting to what the passage of time demands. —Howard

Chamboi the rhino and Twiggy the giraffe have been walking buddies for a long time. This evening stroll reminded us of a similar scene from exactly a year ago: Chamboi has grown outwards and Twiggy upwards over the past 12 months, but they still enjoy each other’s company enormously! Tall or small, we make the same promise to every orphan we rescue: to love them, guide them, and care for them — until they’re ready to reclaim their place in the wild. 🦏🦒🐘 Join our herd and adopt an orphan in our care:

It’s not Guillermo’s fault, they’re being lied to and are in a bubble. They can’t see what we see, they can’t possibly because you’d need to be in it, doing it, living it to understand the true nature between an artist and their medium, the tools they use, which is all AI is… I admire him and his work so much, but I look forward to making him and all the others eat their words in Venice in two weeks. LFG! 🔥🎥 I’m on a mission for us to shut all the haters the f^$k up. - Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro discusses art and AI at Comic Con: “Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I’m sorry, they don’t come from a fucking app.” Guess he thinks the people creating with AI were assimilated and lost all emotion, thoughts, a brain, and any sense of being human when they pressed buttons and made words make images move. 🤦‍♂️🤣 When I see this from people I admire it just makes me dig in even more and do even more to absolutely eviscerate their thinking.

I have proof that the evolution of security can be fast – and cheaper than old defense systems. This is an iPad with software that lets us control our security in real time. It’s true. We have these iPads – I have one, my Prime Minister has one, our Minister of Defense, and our top military commanders – they have it. It lets us see the front line in Ukraine, and even every enemy killed – with video proof. Right now, 90% of Russian losses on the front are caused by our drones. That’s why it’s so important to know who has the advantage in drones – and to be fast and strong in defending against them. The iPad also shows every strike in our skies, our sea area, and our long-range strikes against Russia. It gives us real-time control over people’s safety, and our infrastructure and energy sector. And I believe the evolution of security will make it possible for every leader, every defense minister – and even ordinary people – to have tools like this, and with them, a high level of protection of life. Leaders and ministers work for people. And if the leaders have power, it is only because people trust them with their security. With tools like this, people will not only trust – they will be able to see for themselves what is being done for their security. In real time. From my address to the Parliament of the United Kingdom (3/7)

I’m excited to share that we’ve raised a $70M Series B, led by a16z and ICONIQ - bringing our total funding to over $100M in under a year. Accounting is a $500B category, and yet most finance teams are still running on systems built in the 90s. Rillet is rebuilding the financial core of modern companies. We’ve rebuilt the general ledger from the ground up to assemble the first AI-native ERP, built for speed, flexibility, and automation. Since coming out of stealth ~12 months ago, we’ve grown lightning fast. We now power the finance stack behind companies like Postscript, Windsurf (retired), Decagon, Bitwarden and many more across many industries. Windsurf scaled revenue 10x while running global finance with just two people and Rillet. Postscript, with over $100M in ARR and four entities, now closes their books in three days. These are the kinds of results we hold ourselves to. We’ve also partnered with some of the largest and best accounting firms in the country, including Armanino, Wiss Labs and Attivo. The whole industry has been begging for change for decades. With Rillet, it’s here. This round came together very quickly. The first call happened while I was eating a tuna sandwich in SF (I did not finish it). Three days later, we had a signed term sheet. It was a reflection of the momentum we’re seeing both in the product and in the market. Since announcing our Series A just weeks ago, we’ve already doubled our ARR. None of this would be possible without our team of accountants and engineers. A few months ago, I was still jumping on support calls to help customers. Today, our implementation, success, and product teams are delivering outcomes with the same speed and care that got us here. We originally booked an offsite to celebrate the Series A. In classic Rillet speed fashion, it’s now an A + B celebration. It’s proof of how fast things can move when customers love the product and a reminder of how much this team has earned the chance to celebrate together. We’re fortunate to welcome a16z and ICONIQ to the table. Alex Rampell, Seema Amble, Marc Andrusko and Seth Pierrepont, Sarah bring clarity, urgency and deep conviction about the future of AI and finance. We’re also grateful to have continued support from our early partners Sequoia Capital, First Round, Creandum who believed in us from the start, and excited about working with Oak HC/FT and FOG Ventures. To the Rillet team, again - thank you for building with care, focus, and speed. To our customers - thank you for pushing us, trusting us, and helping shape the product. We are honored to serve you. Let’s go!

Hirokazu Koreeda on how he directs Children: "Interviewer: I think 'Shoplifters' (2018) is very remarkable in showing different sides of a city and like you said, people who are pretty much invisible, but I do want to also commend you on another thing, is you often work with young actors, and they always tend to have a significant role in many of your films. How do you go about finding such dynamic young actors, and why do you often put these young people at the center of each one of your stories? Koreeda: First of all, I would say that I tend to make what I would call family dramas, and of course, you have to have children if you’re creating a family, but that’s how it started, but I found that as I did it, I became really interested. It became very interesting and fun to work with these children, and for example, the two children in this film, neither of them had any acting experience at all before this film. I brought them in, and what I find when you bring these children in, and you work with them is that the adult actors change. They become much more lively and natural in the way that they act, and I guess, at some point, I realized this, and I guess, became really attracted to the idea of having children and the impact that it had. Interviewer: Do you find that there is any struggle in terms of working with young actors, or in this case, young children who have not actually acted before? Koreeda: Just to clarify, I have worked with children in many of my films, and all of them have never had experienced before. I always go out and pick non-acting children to work in my films, so just, I wanted to put that out there. In terms of the struggle, it does take time. You have to give extra time to work with these children. When I choose these children, I have an audition, and I pick out who I want to the audition, and then when we get to set, I never give them the script. No child that I’ve worked with has been given a script beforehand, and when I get to the actual part where they’re going to be acting, I give them the lines myself, and work with them and coach them. What I find is that it’s actually really enjoyable, both for them and for myself that way. I also, because I’ve been doing this now for several years, I tend to have a fairly high success rate in choosing children that are able to work with me in that way. Interviewer: That’s fascinating, and it also shows how you are able to create such authentic performances from these child actors over and over again in so many of your films. I think it’s a unique gift that you have, and it’s something that very few directors, I think, here in the United States do. Koreeda: It’s true, I guess by working with these children, I learned. I discovered that the best way to do it was just to communicate verbally their lines, rather than giving them in a written format, and over time, this really worked, and so I just kept doing it. But, interestingly, I loved the movie 'Kramer vs Kramer' (1979), directed by Robert Benton, and one time I bought the movie with all the extra, the making of and everything, and I went over it, and I found through that, that in fact, the child in that movie was also given his lines every day by the assistant director each morning when they came in to set, so I discovered that it wasn’t just me that was doing this."

THE MOST IMPORTANT Q&A OF MEDIA DAY. Mariana: You came from a very solid weekend on top of everything, but at the same time, it seems that you don't feel that the team is listening to you. Am I right? And how do you balance that? Lewis: I feel like we're going in the right direction. Rome wasn't built in one day, so it takes time to build. For me, coming into the team, I wanted to be respectful of the way they've done things in the past and just to really observe and see where our strengths and where our weaknesses are and to highlight where our weaknesses are and areas that we need to work on. But I do feel that they've been responding. I think you're starting to see, hopefully, some of the impact of the work that we're doing in the background and also into next year's car. This is a car that I've had nothing to do with in terms of developing this car over the years. Hopefully, from next year, my input goes into that car, and that will be a car that I've hopefully been a part of or will have been a part of developing. But I think we've got a really great rapport. I think we're really progressing, particularly since the summer break. I think things have started to get better, and it's all just about building trust and communication. Also, I'm coming into a team that English is not the first language, and I don't speak Italian, so it's finding a common ground. And the fact is we all want to win. We're all here to achieve the same thing, and we've got to just keep pushing. So that's why I'm trying to keep everyone motivated on difficult weekends, trying to keep everyone lifted up. But there have been many, many things we've changed this year that I suggested that they hadn't done in the past, and so they have been listening. It doesn't change straight away, just like that. It takes time to build. And as engineers, they really need proof. They need numbers. That's what they work on. So you have to sometimes push to get certain changes to be made, and then when you change it and then it works, you're like, okay. Mariana: That's what I was talking about.. Lewis: Yeah! - F1 2025 Mexico -

Today, I am excited to finally launch my new Start Up - Virtu - An AI powered, end to end product creation platform. For the past 18 months, I’ve been building Virtu to fix a problem I saw everywhere: product creation is slow, manual, and stuck in legacy tools. It’s clear AI can transform how products are designed, sampled, and launched. What gives me even more belief is the team we have… Bret Rossman and Alexis Kantor — built the private label strategy and operations for 45+ Target-owned brands, and know retail inside-out. And together we have built something that we believe will change our industry. To give a perspective, the global consumer good retail industry is a whopping 21 Trillion $$$! Every product you see around you starts with design, development, and manufacturing workflows that have barely changed in decades. And…AI will completely transform this space over the next few years. I believe Virtu is in the right position to lead that shift.If you have been part of my journey so far, I would love for you to see what we are working on now. Checkout Virtu- Link in comments!

Sherry Benson-Podolchuk is a retired RCMP officer of 20 years "I think in our laws and our police, they have to have better tools. That means we have to change the laws when it comes to mental health and firearms." "That means if you go to a house for a mental health check and there's firearms, give them the tools to seize those weapons and let the person and the home, however old they might be, that if someone is being investigated under the mental health act, those weapons are not returned until everybody is cleared in the home." "I mean, you just, we just never know who, who is going to snap." "...I think in order to return the weapons there needs to be some sort of mandated therapy where the people in the home, the person who was being, they were doing the mental health check and everybody in the home goes for or some sort of counseling to understand why what happened here and give the person the support that they need instead of just having an application and returning the weapons." "And so that's what I mean about these rules have to be, the laws have to be changed with regards to mental health and the link between firearms and potential violence." At the end CBC knows how little they can be bothered to educate themselves about firearms in Canada Brodie Fenlon
