La caída del escudo social en el Congreso refleja un giro a la derecha en el electorado y la obsolescencia de las recetas del 15M. Esta situación evidencia que el problema de la izquierda a la izquierda del PSOE hoy no es de siglas, es de agotamiento ideológico. Ante el actual crecimiento macroeconómico, el espacio de Sumar o Podemos ha dejado de representar a los nuevos indignados.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. The guys immediately dug into the leaked Steelers report card, which had Art Rooney rated as the worst owner in the league – citing terrible facilities, including the field at Acrisure Stadium. Should the Steelers find a way to stop high school games from happening at the stadium? Ray doesn't think this bothers Art because he claims they are working on upgrades or some new facilities. Ray doesn't think it should be shocking if the Steelers use a 3rd round pick on Drew Allar. Ray thinks any rookie QB selected by the Steelers would be QB3 for most, if not all of the season. Ray is skeptical of Ty Simpson getting 1st round buzz and does not expect the Steelers to have interest at 21st overall. Ray thinks the article listing DK Metcalf as a trade candidate is someone in the media being forced to think of a name. Ray expects the Steelers to add a free agent WR that makes roughly $15M/year.
Louis Riddick thinks it's a little bit ridiculous that the Steelers would consider Will Howard if they have a chance to draft Ty Simpson. How much better is Simpson than Howard? Poni wondered if what Austin is doing with Drew Allar is similar to what he and other Pitt fans did with Kenny Pickett a few years ago. Poni is curious if other Penn State fans are like that or if Austin has a man-crush. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show.

Suzanne Ehlers In this episode, Dr. Rob Harter sits down with Suzanne Ehlers, Executive Director and CEO of USA for UNHCR (the fundraising partner of the UN Refugee Agency), to explore how women are reshaping philanthropy—and how nonprofits can better design giving models that reflect who is actually driving decisions. Suzanne shares why traditional fundraising approaches often haven't been built with women at the center, even though women influence the vast majority of giving decisions and are poised to inherit a significant portion of global wealth. (UNHCR) Suzanne also unpacks USA for UNHCR's women-led campaign, Building Better Futures, a $15M initiative that supports refugee women through higher-education scholarships via UNHCR's DAFI program. Together, Rob and Suzanne discuss how relationship-based philanthropy, authentic storytelling, and flexible program delivery can create deeper donor engagement and more durable impact for refugee women and girls. (UNHCR) Key Topics Include: Why philanthropy models must evolve to match who drives giving decisions—and why women's leadership in giving matters How Building Better Futures centers women “soup to nuts”: donor voice, decision-making, and impact priorities The power shift from transactional fundraising to relationship-driven philanthropy and shared purpose How USA for UNHCR is helping sustain and expand the DAFI Scholarship Programme for refugee higher education Closing the gender gap in refugee education by intentionally prioritizing women scholars Storytelling that's “by and for” women—using authentic refugee voices to inspire action Why flexibility (host-country study, support systems, and virtual options) is essential for education programs in refugee contexts Mentioned in This Episode: USA for UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency fundraising partner): https://www.unrefugees.org Building Better Futures campaign: https://www.unrefugees.org/building-better-futures/ UNHCR's DAFI Tertiary Scholarship Programme: https://www.unhcr.org/us/what-we-do/build-better-futures/education/higher-education-and-skills/dafi-tertiary-scholarship-0 Suzanne Ehlers on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-ehlers Not Really Strangers Podcast https://www.unrefugees.org/not-really-strangers-podcast/ (UNHCR) This Episode is Sponsored By: DonorBox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?

I've spent over $15M on high-ticket ads since 2013. And I can tell you — if your ads aren't converting, it's not your CPMs, your CTR, or the algorithm. It's your message. In this episode, I break down the "Trust Funnel" — the same system behind nine figures in sales — and why trust is the only metric that actually matters. The Trust Funnel (3 Steps) The Ad — Your ad's job isn't cheap clicks. It's to hit the deep pain your ideal client is obsessing over at 3 AM. Specificity and empathy beat clever headlines every time. The Authority Video — Don't teach tactics. Show them you understand their problem better than they can describe it themselves. That's what books calls. The Call — If the first two steps work, they show up mostly sold. No hard closing — just a conversation to see if there's a fit. The 3 Trust Killers I See Every Day Too vague — "Want to grow your business?" is wallpaper. Name the exact person, problem, and outcome. No stakes — If you don't make the cost of staying stuck crystal clear, they scroll past. No differentiation — Sound like every other coach and they'll lump you in with everyone who burned them before. The Bottom Line We're in a trust recession. Your ideal clients have been burned by overpromising coaches and garbage programs. No amount of funnel optimization breaks through that — only a message that makes them feel genuinely understood. "Trust is not built by being relatable and fun. It's built by telling people the uncomfortable truth about why they're stuck and showing them the way out."

Systematizing Growth: Scaling to Eight Figures with Daniel StrohliIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Daniel Strohli, the Founder of ProfitsX, about the specialized strategies required to bridge the gap between mid-sized success and massive scale. Daniel shares his expertise in helping companies in the $5M to $15M revenue range move beyond scattered, founder-dependent operations and into the world of repeatable, process-driven machines. This conversation offers a deep dive into the "connective tissue" of business—the processes that empower people and products to perform at their peak—while providing a masterclass in diversifying lead generation and reclaiming ownership of your audience in an unpredictable digital landscape.Transforming Operational Chaos into Scalable Marketing MachinesThe transition from a successful small business to a systematized mid-sized enterprise often fails because founders overlook the critical handoff between marketing and product delivery. Daniel explains that while most businesses in this revenue bracket already possess exceptional people and high-quality products, they lack the robust processes necessary to insulate the company from human error or market shifts. By mapping out every step of the customer journey—from the very first lead touchpoint to long-term client retention—leaders can identify the bottlenecks and redundancies that silently bleed profit. Systematization, in this context, is not about creating rigid bureaucracy; it is about building a measurable framework that frees the team to focus on high-value innovation rather than repetitive troubleshooting.A major vulnerability for many growing firms is an over-reliance on a single lead generation channel, whether that be referrals or a dominant social media platform. Daniel advocates for a "rule of three" approach, where businesses pilot and maintain at least three reliable, independent lead streams to protect against algorithm changes or platform instability. This diversification requires meeting the customer exactly where they spend their time, which necessitates a commitment to iterative testing and channel research. Whether it is LinkedIn for B2B outreach or Instagram for consumer engagement, the "right" channel is a moving target that requires constant observation and the agility to adapt marketing spend based on real-time ROI data.Amidst the noise of modern social media, Daniel identifies email marketing as one of the most underrated and high-leverage assets a business can own. Unlike social media followers, who are essentially "rented" from third-party platforms, an email list is a portable business asset that facilitates the 20 to 40 touchpoints often required for a high-ticket sale. By segmenting lists based on behavior and automating value-driven follow-up sequences, entrepreneurs can build a level of trust and direct access that algorithms cannot disrupt. For a business to be truly scalable and resilient, it must prioritize owning its audience and treating its email database with the same strategic care as its primary product line.About Daniel Strohli:Daniel Strohli is the Founder of ProfitsX, where he serves as a strategic consultant for businesses looking to optimize their operations and scale their revenue. With a focus on process-driven marketing and lead generation, Daniel is known for his ability to translate complex founder visions into streamlined, repeatable business models.About ProfitsXProfitsX is a business consultancy that specializes in systematization and growth strategies for mid-sized companies.

El Congreso de los diputados celebra hoy que la Constitución vigente en España es ya la más duradera en toda nuestra historia. Y eso que no tiene ni 50 años. España históricamente ha tenido muchas constituciones, y muy cortas, interrumpidas por guerras, golpes de Estado y autoritarismos de todo tipo. La Constitución era casi un libro sagrado. Tanto que no se podía criticar ni tocar. Durante décadas, estar contra la Constitución era casi tanto como estar contra la democracia. Pero todo cambia en torno al 15M. Y no solo fue la izquierda, también partidos de la derecha se abrieron a su posible reforma. Han pasado diez años y una reforma constitucional queda lejos. De hecho, los que la querían reformar, ahora presumen de conservarla frente a la amenaza de la extrema derecha. Analizamos aquel momento histórico en la que se habló de una reforma y quedó en nada, así como la situación actual, con el profesor de Derecho y ex letrado del Tribunal Constitucional, Joaquín Urías; con el escritor, guionista y activista en varios procesos políticos desde el 15M, Guillermo Zapata, y con la politóloga y experta en movimientos de extrema derecha, Anna López. *** Envíanos una nota de voz por Whatsapp contándonos alguna historia que conozcas o algún sonido que tengas cerca y que te llame la atención.

In this joint episode with the Personal Financial Planning (PFP) podcast, hosts Cary Sinnett, CPF, CAP, CFT-1, CExP, and April Walker, CPA, CGMA, Senior Manager — AICPA & CIMA, are joined by is joined by Sebrina Ivey, CPA/PFS to explore Trump accounts, also known as Sec. 530A accounts. These accounts are a new tax-advantaged savings vehicle for children created under H.R 1, P.L. 119-21, the law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The episode focuses on what CPAs need to know now to advise families on coordinating these accounts with broader tax, estate and financial plans. NOTE: Gift tax return/GST tax return requirements for contributions to a Trump Account: At this time, Treasury and the IRS have not provided guidance under Sec. 530A clarifying that contributions to Trump Accounts are considered a completed gift of a present interest in property eligible for the annual gift tax exclusion ($19,000 per recipient for 2026 gifts). Without further guidance, it appears any contribution to a Trump Account will be considered a taxable gift of a future interest and therefore subject to both gift and GST tax — effectively reducing a taxpayers' federal estate tax lifetime exclusion ($15M for deaths occurring in 2026). What you'll learn from this episode: What Trump Accounts are and how they fit alongside 529s, Roth IRAs and custodial accounts Understand who can contribute and how much to Trump Accounts Key contribution, investment and compliance rules for these accounts How to plan ahead for key transition points Resources Trump Accounts under Sec. 530A — Timeline and insights IRS Trump Accounts IRS Notice 2025-68 Keep your finger on the pulse of the dynamic and evolving tax landscape with insights from tax thought leaders in the AICPA Tax Section.

In this episode of Startup Project, host Nataraj sits down with Andrew Bialecki, Co-founder and CEO of Klaviyo, to unpack one of the most capital-efficient growth stories in modern SaaS history.Klaviyo grew into a $7B+ public company while raising just $15M in total funding—a sharp contrast to today's venture-backed growth playbooks. Klaviyo now powers the marketing and growth of thousands of ecommerce brands worldwide, using data, automation, and AI to help businesses build deeper relationships with their customers.This conversation goes deep into the real work behind that outcome: the long road to product-market fit, the tradeoffs the team made early on, and why Klaviyo intentionally avoided blitzscaling in favor of building a durable, data-driven platform.Andrew shares candid insights into Klaviyo's early years, when growth was slow, uncertainty was high, and the company looked nothing like a future public-market success story. We discuss why finding product-market fit took longer than expected, how early customer feedback shaped the product, and why patience turned out to be one of Klaviyo's biggest competitive advantages.Rather than chasing short-term growth metrics, Klaviyo focused on deeply understanding ecommerce customers and building infrastructure that could scale for the long term. That discipline ultimately shaped the company's culture, product roadmap, and go-to-market strategy.A major theme of the episode is how AI and customer data are reshaping the future of ecommerce marketing.Andrew explains why data—not features—is the real moat in modern marketing platforms, and how Klaviyo's architecture allowed the company to benefit from AI as the technology matured. We explore how AI is changing personalization, segmentation, and automation for ecommerce brands, and why many AI marketing tools miss the point by focusing on surface-level automation instead of foundational data infrastructure.This is a thoughtful, grounded discussion about where AI actually creates leverage in marketing—and where hype often distracts teams from doing the hard work.At a time when many startups raise hundreds of millions of dollars to fuel growth, Klaviyo's story stands out as a case study in capital efficiency.Andrew walks through why the company chose to raise so little capital, how constraints shaped better decision-making, and what founders today can learn from building with discipline. We also discuss the tradeoffs of avoiding aggressive fundraising, the pressure that comes with slower growth, and why capital efficiency can be a long-term strategic advantage rather than a limitation.This episode is especially valuable for:Startup founders building SaaS or ecommerce companiesMarketers and ecommerce leaders navigating AI-driven changeProduct and growth leaders thinking about data as a moatInvestors and operators interested in capital-efficient businessesAnyone curious about how enduring companies are actually builtHow Klaviyo became a $7B+ public company with only $15M raisedThe long path to product-market fitWhy capital efficiency beat hypergrowthBuilding an AI-powered marketing platform for ecommerceTurning customer data into a durable competitive moatHow AI is reshaping ecommerce and digital marketingLessons for founders building long-term SaaS businessesNataraj is the host of Startup Project, an investor and product leader who explores how real companies are built—from early product decisions to scaling with discipline. Startup Project features in-depth conversations with founders who've achieved genuine product-market fit, focusing on the thinking, tradeoffs, and execution behind enduring businesses.

Most entrepreneurs work harder when they should be thinking bigger.In this episode, Brad Sugars sits down with Dan Fleyshman to break down what actually drives growth at every level — from your first million to building a $100M business. This is a no-nonsense conversation about why sales cure everything, why demand must come before structure, and why doing low-value work is one of the fastest ways to cap your growth.They unpack the real shifts required to scale: raising capital the right way, building an ecosystem that pulls major players toward you, hiring executives who've already done it, and letting go of the tasks and people that can't take you to the next level.If you're serious about scale — not just staying busy — this episode will challenge how you think and how you operate. Subscribe, share it with someone who says they want $100M, and press play.About Dan Fleyshman:Dan Fleyshman is a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, social media mogul, philanthropist, and speaker — and holds the distinction of being the youngest founder in history to take a company public.

Two weeks before his 40th birthday, Jeff Cummins contracted shingles - and it took most of the hearing in his right ear. With young daughters at home whose voices he could no longer hear, he became a hearing aid user. A decade later, that experience led him to co-found a company changing how hearing aids are sold.In this episode, Jeff Cummins joins us to share how Immersive Hearing Technologies is using VR to let patients experience hearing aids in real-world environments before they buy - replacing the brochures and guesswork that have defined the industry for decades.The conversation traces Jeff's 25-year career through startups (including scaling Keys Express from $15M to $70M in revenue), a near-miss with NIH-funded cardiac technology, and the path to landing a deal with Sonova - the world's largest hearing aid manufacturer - now deploying Immersive's system across Western Europe. Jeff also shares hard-won lessons on positioning pain over innovation and why Kentucky's startup resources are among the best in the country for early-stage founders.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by:KY Innovation → kyinnovation.comAwesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

Send us a textThere's a moment every scaled founder hits where effort stops producing leverage. Revenue is real. The team is capable. But progress feels heavier than it should, and decisions take longer, cost more, and drain energy faster than before.In this episode, I sit down with Alexis Sikorsky, a strategic advisor to founders who are serious about scaling fast and exiting strong. Alexis isn't sharing theory. He built, scaled, and sold a Switzerland-based software company in a nine-figure private equity exit, then stayed in the game long enough to see exactly what founders misunderstand about timing, systems, and value creation.We talk candidly about why founders delay a Private Equity Exit by years: not because they lack ambition, but because exhaustion, missing numbers, and underpowered leadership structures quietly cap momentum. Alexis breaks down the mistakes that cost him five years and $50 million, what private equity actually looks for, and how founders can shift from running hard to engineering optionality.If you're scaling a digital agency past 7 figures and thinking about sustainability, leverage, automation in leadership, or what an exit really requires, this conversation will sharpen how you see your business and your next move.Books MentionedThe Prince by Niccolò MachiavelliThe Art of War by Sun TzuIf you want to stay connected with Alexis, find him on LinkedIn or check out his book Cashing Out, where he lays out the APEX framework for founders preparing for private equity. He's also inviting founders doing $5–15M in revenue to participate in interviews for his upcoming book; details shared directly in this episode.Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.

Hoy arrancamos con el indulto de Wanda Vázquez y repasamos porque es la política con más suerte en la historia de la humanidad. Luego, más detalles del exejecutivo del del Banco Popular que aparente y alegadamente le robó $15M al banco.Entramos luego en lo último de la Reforma Contributiva: los que se mueven, los que se quedan fuera, y una Cámara que no trabajará la semana que viene mientras los numeritos siguen dando vueltas.Y sí, continúa el excelente ambiente laboral en el PNP. Si alguien pensó que enero iba a traer calma, se equivocó.En el chit-chat hablamos de los precios de las fiestas y del fin de la tregua entre Nydia Velázquez y Mamdani, porque la política no descansa ni en Nueva York ni en Puerto Rico.

We lead off with Trump's gun boat diplomacy in Venezuela and the shocking bloodshed perpetrated by ICE in Minneapolis. What does it mean and how is the resistance to authoritarianism responding so far? We welcome State Representative Ryan Clancy to discuss three game changing progressive tax bills that would transform how Wisconsin funds K-12 schools, local governments, and other public services. If enacted, Wisconsin would become the first state to fund K-12 schools primarily through a progressive income tax, leading to a 44% reduction in the median Wisconsin property tax bill. The two other bills restore Wisconsin's estate tax for those valued higher than $15M, and create a new local option income tax on the ultra wealthy. We review new analysis by Wisconsin Watch that 46% of State's private school students get public-financed vouchers and 96% are in religious schools. We close with the U.S. House revolt against Trump and Speaker Johnson on the expiring ACA affordability subsidies. Nine Republicans defied Trump and Johnson, forcing the vote, all from swing districts, but not Derrick Van Ordin. Does it have a chance in the U.S. Senate? At the state level, some legislative Republicans are advancing a bill requiring transparent hospital pricing for “shoppable services” that has split the big corporate business interests from the hospitals. Is there an opening among Republicans and corporate interests to rein in Wisconsin's astronomical hospital prices, which are the highest in the Midwest and the 5th highest in the country? Robert also asks why Senator Chris Larson is the only Democrat co-sponsoring the legislation?
From undergraduate research seminars at Princeton to winning Best Paper award at NeurIPS 2025, Kevin Wang, Ishaan Javali, Michał Bortkiewicz, Tomasz Trzcinski, Benjamin Eysenbach defied conventional wisdom by scaling reinforcement learning networks to 1,000 layers deep—unlocking performance gains that the RL community thought impossible. We caught up with the team live at NeurIPS to dig into the story behind RL1000: why deep networks have worked in language and vision but failed in RL for over a decade (spoiler: it's not just about depth, it's about the objective), how they discovered that self-supervised RL (learning representations of states, actions, and future states via contrastive learning) scales where value-based methods collapse, the critical architectural tricks that made it work (residual connections, layer normalization, and a shift from regression to classification), why scaling depth is more parameter-efficient than scaling width (linear vs. quadratic growth), how Jax and GPU-accelerated environments let them collect hundreds of millions of transitions in hours (the data abundance that unlocked scaling in the first place), the “critical depth” phenomenon where performance doesn't just improve—it multiplies once you cross 15M+ transitions and add the right architectural components, why this isn't just “make networks bigger” but a fundamental shift in RL objectives (their code doesn't have a line saying “maximize rewards”—it's pure self-supervised representation learning), how deep teacher, shallow student distillation could unlock deployment at scale (train frontier capabilities with 1000 layers, distill down to efficient inference models), the robotics implications (goal-conditioned RL without human supervision or demonstrations, scaling architecture instead of scaling manual data collection), and their thesis that RL is finally ready to scale like language and vision—not by throwing compute at value functions, but by borrowing the self-supervised, representation-learning paradigms that made the rest of deep learning work.We discuss:* The self-supervised RL objective: instead of learning value functions (noisy, biased, spurious), they learn representations where states along the same trajectory are pushed together, states along different trajectories are pushed apart—turning RL into a classification problem* Why naive scaling failed: doubling depth degraded performance, doubling again with residual connections and layer norm suddenly skyrocketed performance in one environment—unlocking the “critical depth” phenomenon* Scaling depth vs. width: depth grows parameters linearly, width grows quadratically—depth is more parameter-efficient and sample-efficient for the same performance* The Jax + GPU-accelerated environments unlock: collecting thousands of trajectories in parallel meant data wasn't the bottleneck, and crossing 15M+ transitions was when deep networks really paid off* The blurring of RL and self-supervised learning: their code doesn't maximize rewards directly, it's an actor-critic goal-conditioned RL algorithm, but the learning burden shifts to classification (cross-entropy loss, representation learning) instead of TD error regression* Why scaling batch size unlocks at depth: traditional RL doesn't benefit from larger batches because networks are too small to exploit the signal, but once you scale depth, batch size becomes another effective scaling dimension—RL1000 Team (Princeton)* 1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL: Scaling Depth Can Enable New Goal-Reaching Capabilities: https://openreview.net/forum?id=s0JVsx3bx1Full Video EpisodeTimestamps00:00:00 Introduction: Best Paper Award and NeurIPS Poster Experience00:01:11 Team Introductions and Princeton Research Origins00:03:35 The Deep Learning Anomaly: Why RL Stayed Shallow00:04:35 Self-Supervised RL: A Different Approach to Scaling00:05:13 The Breakthrough Moment: Residual Connections and Critical Depth00:07:15 Architectural Choices: Borrowing from ResNets and Avoiding Vanishing Gradients00:07:50 Clarifying the Paper: Not Just Big Networks, But Different Objectives00:08:46 Blurring the Lines: RL Meets Self-Supervised Learning00:09:44 From TD Errors to Classification: Why This Objective Scales00:11:06 Architecture Details: Building on Braw and SymbaFowl00:12:05 Robotics Applications: Goal-Conditioned RL Without Human Supervision00:13:15 Efficiency Trade-offs: Depth vs Width and Parameter Scaling00:15:48 JAX and GPU-Accelerated Environments: The Data Infrastructure00:18:05 World Models and Next State Classification00:22:37 Unlocking Batch Size Scaling Through Network Capacity00:24:10 Compute Requirements: State-of-the-Art on a Single GPU00:21:02 Future Directions: Distillation, VLMs, and Hierarchical Planning00:27:15 Closing Thoughts: Challenging Conventional Wisdom in RL Scaling Get full access to Latent.Space at www.latent.space/subscribe
