Most startups talk about code, traction, or product-market fit. At Stemuli, the edge has always been the team. In this episode of Big TECH Energy, host Taylor Shead sits down with James Dominguez (Head of Product at Stemuli), Jason Clemente (Head of Games), and Rebecca Colina Neri (Head of Learning & Research) to explore what makes Stemuli different: vulnerability, trust, and the courage to start over. From the fears they didn’t expect to face, to the product resets that forced them to “burn the boats,” this conversation reveals how resilience, alignment, and a sense of purpose drive the team behind Founders Tycoon and Or[B]. If you’ve ever wondered what holds a mission-driven startup together when the playbook runs out, this episode has your answer.

On this episode of Big Tech Energy, Taylor's on The PIE Live APAC's debate stage with AI experts from the UK, Spain, Vietnam, Australia, and Korea. The PIE's moderator, Nick Cuthbert, led the showdown to answer: Will AI enhance or damage higher ed? On Team "AI is the Future," you'll hear from Taylor (Stemuli), Jarrad Merlo (Pearson), and President Jaeho Yeom (Taejae University and Presidential Commission on AI of Korea). On Team "AI is a Threat," you'll get counterpoints from George Chilton (Hubbub Labs) and Nick McIntosh (RMIT Vietnam). We haven't seen this big of a divide in higher education in decades. Tune in to hear the real question: Are we debating student outcomes (which improve with AI) or protecting institutional infrastructure? Either way, we're in a messy transition where implementation matters more than the technology itself.

Venture capital legend Tim Draper doesn’t just fund startups, he funds the future. From backing Tesla and Hotmail to investing in the birth of a new country, Tim has spent his life chasing ideas that sound crazy, until they’re not. In this episode of Big TECH Energy by Stemuli, Tim opens up about his early years, the lessons he learned from his father and grandfather, how he evaluates moonshot founders, and why being misunderstood is often the first sign that you’re onto something revolutionary. Plus, he shares wild stories from adventures as a kid to inventing viral growth tactics still used today, and his obsession with superheroes, AI education, and capes. If you’ve ever felt like your idea was “too much,” this episode is proof that too much might be exactly what the world needs.
