Pokémon Champions launched on mobile doing roughly $300-400K/day. Two days later it was collapsing. It's now around $80K/day and falling — a textbook shark fin from the biggest IP on the planet. We cover the wins on this podcast, but we also cover the failures, and this one is genuinely fascinating.We break down what went wrong with Pokémon Champions. The game is essentially Pokémon Stadium (the N64 classic) rebuilt for mobile — a pure battler with no exploration, no gyms, no story, no breeding, no catching Pokémon in the wild. The gacha is neutered into a "pick one of ten" system with no randomness at all. And the killer: Pokémon Home import lets players bring their existing collections straight in from Pokémon Go and other titles, so many players arrived on launch day with everything already unlocked — what Jakub calls "Web3 interoperability in play," and a total economy destroyer. Monetization is cosmetics, a battle pass, and ranch refresh tickets. That's it. The crew also contrasts it with the Pokémon apps that genuinely print money (TCG Pocket at ~$15M/month, Pokémon Sleep at ~$150K/day and ~$150M in three years, Pokémon Go spiking on the 30th anniversary), and picks apart the UA: ~300 creatives that are really about 7 concepts, almost all 15-21 seconds, cut from a year-old trailer.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why we're covering a failure02:40 It's Pokémon Stadium, rebuilt for mobile07:05 The neutered gacha — pick one of ten11:26 The shallow monetization: cosmetics and a battle pass12:30 Pokémon Home import — the economy killer14:35 The numbers — shark fin, Japan-driven, 16% US17:06 The Pokémon apps that actually print money19:59 The creatives — 300 videos, 7 concepts, all too shortThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

An airline once argued in a tribunal that its chatbot was a separate legal entity, responsible for its own actions. It lost. Now the machines don't just talk — they act, execute multi-step tasks, and move money. Dr. Vivian Atud, economist and AI governance thinker, unpacks Yale CELI's landmark cross-industry research showing 2026 as the year agentic AI shifted from capability to execution — while governance lagged behind. Inside: what the EU AI Act's August 2026 enforcement phase actually demands, why penalties reach 7% of global turnover, and The Accountability Chain™ — a five-link framework (Name It, Bound It, Log It, Kill It, Explain It) that every board should run this quarter.

He has offered a confession.”“If you cannot list your agents in ten minutes, you don't have governance. You have hope.”Fortune / Yale CELI (May 2, 2026), Sonnenfeld, Henriques et al., part three of a four-part series: 2026 marks the shift from capability to execution; agents interact with external tools, execute multi-step tasks, learn and iterate; governance and regulatory policy move far more slowly. Six months of research, hundreds of company materials, dozens of interviews across financial services, healthcare, insurance, retail, supply chain, telecom, public sector.Yale Insights / Fortune (final part of series): the Cursor “Sam” support-agent incident, April 2025 — invented licensing policy, canceled subscriptions.Artificial Intelligence News (April 9, 2026): agents can act without a clear record of what, when, and why; requirements for agent identity, centralized verbose logs, policy checks, human oversight, seconds-fast revocation, vendor documentation; EU AI Act Articles 9 and 13; multi-agent chains hardest to trace.EU AI Act, Regulation 2024/1689, Article 99: €35M / 7% worldwide turnover (Art. 5 prohibited practices); €15M / 3% (operator obligations incl. Arts. 16, 26, 50); €7.5M / 1% (misleading information). SME cap inverts to the lower figure.Digital Omnibus provisional agreement (May 7, 2026): Annex III high-risk deadline deferred to 2 December 2027, pending formal adoption; Article 99 fine provisions and market-surveillance enforcement powers apply from 2 August 2026.Moffatt v. Air Canada, 2024 BCCRT 149: negligent misrepresentation; tribunal rejected the argument that the chatbot was a separate legal entity; damages of C$812.02.note: all figures verified against primary regulatory text (Article 99) plus at least three independent legal commentaries. The Digital Omnibus deferral is a provisional agreement pending formal adoption — the script states this explicitly on-air rather than asserting a settled deadline. Institutional audiences reward that precision; a competitor claiming a hard August 2026 high-risk deadline is overstating the record.
In this special episode of Tank Talks, recorded live during Toronto Tech Week at Moomoo Canada's flagship store in Yorkville, Matt Cohen sits down with two of venture's sharpest data and investment minds for an unfiltered conversation on the state of private markets.Peter Walker, Senior Director of Insights at Carta, brings the hard numbers from 60,000+ companies and 3,000+ US venture funds, revealing the stark reality behind valuation markups, unicorn deterioration, and the widening dispersion between top-tier and median deals.John Rikhtegar, Vice President at Northleaf Capital Partners and former RBC investor, offers the LP perspective on why trust matters more than ever, why emerging managers are bearing the brunt of capital allocation challenges, and how disciplined pacing and vintage diversification separate winning funds from the rest.Together, they tackle the 4.3 trillion-dollar NAV overhang, the brutal graduation rates for 2021 vintage funds, whether valuations have permanently shifted, and why the ATM analogy might be the best way to understand AI's impact on venture careers.If you're a GP raising capital, an LP sorting through manager pitches, or just trying to make sense of where venture is headed, this episode is a must-listen.The Great LP Reset: Trust Over Performance (08:05)* Why LPs are letting go of newer relationships while sticking with 15-year partners.* The COVID furlough analogy: why junior and newer team members are the first to go.* How trust became the ultimate table stakes in today's fundraising environment.The 4.3 Trillion Dollar NAV Problem (12:33)* Why SpaceX's IPO would return only 10% of capital deployed over the last decade.* The staggering number of unicorns still sitting on stale marks from 2021.* What happens when 50% of unicorn down rounds become the new normal.Valuation Dispersion Is Breaking the Model (17:38)* Seed valuations jumped from $15M post-money (2022) to $24M (2025).* Series A went from $46M to nearly $80M in the same period.* Why the gap between the top decile and the median has never been wider.* How GPs must adapt ownership expectations or get priced out of deals.The Unicorn Graveyard: Stale Marks and Deteriorating Assets (19:28)* December 2021: 640 unicorns on Carta; 85% of current US unicorns.* 30% have raised new up-rounds; of the rest, half raised down rounds of 50% or more.* How GPs are forced to tell LPs that their “trophy assets” are no longer real.Pacing, Reserves, and Portfolio Construction (22:53)* Why disciplined 3-4 year deployment beats 18-month “firehose” strategies.* The 80/20 reserve debate: why leading rounds can become a net negative.* How “deal 13” is just as likely to succeed as “deal 12”, and why slightly larger portfolios make sense.LP Diligence: It's Not About the Marks (31:55)* Why TDPI and DPI are just 2 of 100 mosaic factors in LP decision-making.* How LPs now go company-by-company, not fund-by-fund.* The importance of founder references, especially from failed companies.Canada vs. The US: A Fractal Problem (40:44)* Why every market (Toronto, Sydney, London, Seattle) faces the same “Silicon Valley problem.”* The importance of domestic liquidity and secondary markets over chasing US LPs.* Why returns, not international capital, will ultimately scale Canadian firms.AI and the Future of Venture Careers (44:44)* The ATM analogy: AI will eliminate tasks, not jobs.* Why the role of the investor becomes more important as noise and froth increase.* How family offices are shifting their mix between fund investing and direct deals.Retail Access to Private Markets: Feature or Bug? (53:27)* Why illiquidity in private markets is a feature, not a bug.* The absurdity of allowing crypto “shitcoins” but blocking friends from investing in startups.* Why “401k-entrance” to private equity is a bigger story than retail venture access.About the GuestsPeter Walker is the Senior Director of Insights at Carta, where he leads the team responsible for analyzing data from over 60,000 companies and 3,000+ venture funds.

Taylor Swift Today Monday deep dive with Lyla: the confetti's settled, and now the parts people are actually arguing about. A reported 40-page prenup and what it might mean for Taylor's songwriting. A secrecy operation worthy of a heist movie — and the theory that it's about more than privacy. The guest-list stories, including one very loud empty chair. And the big question dividing the internet: was the whole thing just too much? Here's the honest breakdown, both sides. The secrecy: guests reportedly signed NDAs just to learn the venue and time, invitations were individually watermarked to trace any leak, and phones were collected from guests, staff, and even police — with reports MSG let go of employees who broke the agreement

Evan Carmichael believes the world's biggest problem is that people don't believe in themselves enough. He has spent the last 15 years trying to fix it.Evan joins Jessica Neal and co-host Jeff on Truth Works for an honest conversation about self-belief, building a movement as an introvert, and why serving one person matters more than reaching millions.Evan is not your typical YouTuber.At 19 he built and sold a biotech software company. At 22 he was a venture capitalist raising $500k to $15M. Then he started making videos on YouTube in 2009, long before entrepreneurs were a category there, and for five years almost nobody watched. His first year online he had three comments, two of them from his own family.Today his #Believe channel has over 4 million subscribers, he has written four books, and Ed Mylett has called him the modern-day Napoleon Hill.In this episode, Evan breaks down the "believe walk" he does every morning, why he thinks your purpose comes from your pain, and how a mentor named Steve pushed him from 9,000 subscribers to millions by making him film the same foundation story 40 times. He gets candid about the hardest day of his life, the one day in 15 years he could not bring himself to turn on the camera, and what it taught him about being human.He also shares the systems behind the work: the eliminate, automate, delegate framework, why he themes every day of his week, and the "CEO day" he uses to make the calls he keeps avoiding. Plus why he leads his 60-person team with directness rooted in love, the difference between pushing someone and hugging them, and how to know which one a person needs.TOPICS COVERED- Why lack of belief is the world's number one problem- The "believe walk" and curating what goes into your head every morning- How an introvert built a movement without wanting to be famous- Why your purpose comes from your pain- The five-year grind from 0 to a couple thousand subscribers- Asking for help and why most people wait too long to do it- Big Y vs little Y: staying motivated by serving one person- Why successful entrepreneurs take action immediately- Eliminate, automate, delegate: scaling yourself out of the work- Theming your week and the "CEO day" thought exercise- Leading with love: when to push someone and when to hug themEvan's books, including Your One Word and Built to Serve, are available now.Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal and Jeff, two leaders pulling back the curtain on how great companies and people are really built.
What if the question nobody in the room could answer became the business you spent a decade building? In this episode, Tyler Ryan, founder of LTV Numbers and former NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer, shares how a physics degree, a baseball bleacher conversation, and a single moment at a business event in 2018 led him to build a software company that helps online entrepreneurs finally see what has been invisible in their own data for years. Tyler didn't set out to build an analytics company. He set out to start something, anything, that would let him use his engineering brain in a business context. What he found was that the people around him needed him more than they knew. And one relationship in particular taught him the single most important lesson he has ever learned about business partnerships. [00:03:30] What He Does and Who He Serves Founder of LTV Numbers, a software platform for online course creators, coaches, and digital businesses Helps businesses understand customer lifetime value at day 0, 30, 60, 90, and beyond Serves e-commerce, info product, and online businesses that sell to customers more than once [00:07:00] How He Got Here Dad was a career musician; that entrepreneurial mindset shaped Tyler from an early age Majored in physics at UCLA; got his master's in mechanical engineering Landed an internship at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory through a bleacher conversation at a high school baseball game Fell in love with coding through that internship and knew he would use it to build something [00:09:00] The Startup Apartment and the Fork in the Road Left NASA with a college friend to build a company in a Burbank apartment Spent two years going all in with zero revenue; nearly exhausted all savings His co-founder went back to Google; Tyler refused to quit Emptied retirement and investment accounts to join masterminds and get into the right rooms [00:12:00] The Moment That Built a Business Was the only tech person in a room full of fitness coaches and online business owners Started helping people with websites and automations for free without thinking anything of it With less than 30 days of money left, announced he was offering tech consulting to the group Made $3,000 in seven days; that was the proof of concept that changed everything [00:14:30] The Event That Crystallized Everything: Joel Marion Attended Craig Valentine's Perfect Life Retreat in 2018 and watched a talk by Joel Marion of BioTrust Marion asked 400 entrepreneurs how many knew their LTV at day 0, 30, 60, 90, and 180 by product, funnel, and traffic source Four hands went up; their businesses were doing $15M, $25M, $35M, and $50M Marion said: the reason we scaled BioTrust from zero to nine figures in 18 months was because we knew that answer better than anyone [00:17:30] What Inspires Him: Lifting the Fog Was an engineer who knew nothing about business; that insecurity held him back for years Sees brilliant business people constrained not by their ability but by their visibility Loves the moment a business owner finally sees what has been invisible for years Mission: make data-driven decision-making the default for every online business [00:20:00] Client Impact: Joe DiGalbo and Live Anabolic Joe was one of his earliest LTV Numbers clients; they met in the original mastermind Joe's fitness business had been stuck at $5 million a year for three years After deep work on LTV visibility and scaling decisions, the company hit $13 million last year Has been on a weekly call with Joe for years; Joe is one of his favorite people in the world [00:23:30] The First Relationship That Changed Everything: Steven Cornford Steven was the father of a high school baseball teammate; Tyler ran into him in the bleachers a year after graduation One conversation about physics led to an internship at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that summer That internship introduced him to programming and set the entire trajectory of his career The lesson: say yes early to opportunities you can't fully see; the path reveals itself later [00:25:00] The Relationship That Healed Everything: Joe DiGalbo Got into several business partnerships from a place of desperation and insecurity Partners looked great on paper but produced negative results; the company went backwards Joe was different; not because of his skill set but because of who he is as a person That relationship taught him to over-index on character and values, not skills [00:28:00] The Compound Effect of One Great Relationship Joe introduced him to Robbie, a mentor and advisor who became a close friend Has been on a weekly three-way call with Joe and Robbie for years Robbie's company is finishing an acquisition; a new chapter together may be forming One great person leads to more great people; pour into the relationship without needing to see where it goes [00:37:30] Final Word: Seven Minutes of Terror and Knowing Your Numbers Was in the JPL auditorium when the Curiosity Mars rover landed in the early 2010s Due to signal delay, the auditorium was only finding out what had already happened as they listened When mission control said "touchdown confirmed" the entire auditorium burst into tears The rover landed within a mile of its target after flying through space entirely on its own; that is what knowing your numbers makes possible KEY QUOTES "Your skill set determines your potential. But if your visibility is terrible, you are going to operate well below that potential." - Tyler Ryan "I could partner up with a person I loved with very little marketing skills, who would run through a wall for me, and they probably would have produced a better outcome." - Tyler Ryan "Once you find that one person where you're like, I don't know how, but I would want to work with this person on anything, just keep pouring into it.

Amador Fernández-Savater es filósofo, escritor y ensayista. En esta conversación reflexiona sobre por qué la democracia atraviesa una profunda crisis de participación y cómo los grandes cambios sociales no nacen únicamente de las instituciones o del poder político, sino de los vínculos, los afectos y la capacidad de las personas para organizarse y transformar su vida cotidiana.A lo largo de la charla se habla de educación, deliberación, capitalismo, cooperación, comunidad y movimientos sociales. También se analiza el auge de la extrema derecha, la crisis de la izquierda contemporánea, el papel de las emociones en la política y la tensión entre las instituciones y la participación ciudadana. Fernández-Savater defiende que la transformación social no puede delegarse únicamente en partidos o gobiernos, sino que necesita una ciudadanía activa capaz de crear nuevas formas de convivencia y nuevos valores compartidos.La conversación recorre además la experiencia del 15M, el ciclo político de Podemos, la fuerza de los movimientos colectivos, el sentido de la utopía y el valor de pensar las derrotas como condición para imaginar futuros distintos. Frente a una sociedad que, según sostiene, nos convierte con demasiada frecuencia en objetos antes que en sujetos, Fernández-Savater reivindica la conversación, la cooperación y la construcción de comunidades como el verdadero motor del cambio político y cultural.Capítulos00:00 Introducción00:30 Pensar sin un sistema03:53 ¿Cómo se construyen las verdades colectivas?07:40 La escuela como laboratorio filosófico12:43 Democracia, instituciones y participación20:45 ¿Cómo se reconstruye la democracia?24:55 ¿Qué escuela queremos?35:03 Turismo, consumo y experiencias auténticas38:53 Las croquetas, los valores y el cambio social43:33 ¿Por qué la izquierda está en crisis?52:40 La pasión de la desigualdad55:52 Capitalismo, cooperación y competencia01:03:57 Las grietas del capitalismo01:10:14 ¿Qué significa ser tratado como un sujeto?01:18:02 La fuerza de los débiles01:22:40 El balance del 15M y Podemos01:38:25 Pensar las derrotas01:38:53 La utopía y el futuro02:07:30 Preguntas finales——¿Quieres apoyar Arpa Talks?1.

1. HEART OF THE MATTER 1A. Record-Breaking Missionary Numbers — Pres. Oaks at New Mission Leader Seminar At the 2026 Seminar for New Mission Leaders (June 18–21, Provo MTC), President Dallin H. Oaks announced that the Church will soon have the largest number of full-time missionaries in its history, surpassing the current 87,000+ serving worldwide. The surge is driven by the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries (following the November policy change lowering the minimum age from 19) and the addition of 55 new missions in July, bringing the global total to 506. President Oaks outlined three characteristics defining the restored Church: (1) the fulness of doctrine (including eternal marriage between a man and a woman); (2) priesthood authority and keys; and (3) a unique testimony of Christ grounded in modern revelation and the First Vision. Sister Kristin Oaks also spoke, sharing six core truths missionaries teach.

New Hymn ‘Welcome Home’ — The Story Behind It Composer Andrea Brett explains how a 2017 encounter with Demetrius O’Neal — a recent convert serving as a greeter at a Spokane ward on a snowy Sunday morning — inspired her hymn ‘Welcome Home,’ now published in the new Hymns for Home and Church. Brett submitted 10 pieces when the global hymnbook was announced in 2018; this was the only one she’d written before the call. She received confirmation of its selection in February 2025, then had a full-circle moment when she and O’Neal sat near each other at the April 2025 General Conference as the Tabernacle Choir performed it. O’Neal’s name appears in the hymn’s tune name as a tribute. The hymn is now translated and sung globally. Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1C. Family History Records Are a ‘Sacred Thread’ — Elder Bragg at International Archivists Congress Elder Mark A. Bragg, General Authority Seventy and executive director of the Church’s Family History Department and FamilySearch International, was a keynote speaker at the III Congress of Archivists: Digital Archive Expo (DA-EXPO), held June 8–12 in Astana, Kazakhstan. He called family history records ‘the thin but sacred thread’ tying people together across generations, and argued that records are ‘in a very real sense, witnesses.’ Elder Bragg framed the digital revolution in genealogy in moral terms: for most of history, access to records was shaped by ‘proximity, resources and specialized knowledge,’ but today a record created in one place can be preserved in another, indexed in a third, and discovered by someone on the other side of the world. ‘The reach is astonishing. The speed is breathtaking. The possibilities are almost beyond measure.’ He also said that ‘access is an act of kindness’ — records only fulfill their divine purpose when they are found, understood, and used. His core message: preserving memory is an act of hope. ‘It says that the past is not dead to us and that the future deserves more than fragments.’ Source: Church News, June 17, 2026 Angle: Great ‘quiet but meaningful’ story — LDS family history going global and leveling the playing field for genealogy worldwide. 1D. America Gives — All 50 States Receive Food Donations The Church completed a milestone in its ‘America Gives’ initiative by delivering a shipping container of food to Hilo, Hawaii — marking all 50 states reached. The initiative aims to deliver 250 truckloads of food nationwide in 2026 to celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary. In Hawaii, the food went to The Food Basket, distributed to 10 local nonprofits. Notably, 42% of residents on the island of Hawaii face food insecurity — the state’s highest rate. Rosie Rios, chair of America 250 and former U.S. Treasurer, praised the milestone. Local Methodist pastor Ted Lesnett said recipients will know ‘when they were hungry, someone cared.’ Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1E. Church Donates $250,000 NZD to Christchurch Anglican Cathedral Rebuild The Church announced a NZ$250,000 donation (June 19, 2026) toward the restoration of Christchurch’s iconic Anglican Cathedral — damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. Elder Peter F. Meurs (Pacific Area President) and Anglican Bishop Peter Carrell presided at the announcement. The donation comes as the project faces a $45M funding shortfall and an overall $219M budget. The Christchurch City Council has offered $15M contingent on government and Anglican Church matches. Notably, a New Zealand Buddhist community made a similar gift in 2023 — the LDS donation continues a cross-faith pattern of support for the heritage project.

Central America Humanitarian Blitz — 5 Projects, 500,000+ People In late May and early June 2026, the Church announced five humanitarian projects across Central America (with Sister J. Anette Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, representing the Church). Projects include: the ‘Windows of Light’ eyecare program in El Salvador (350,000+ screenings to date); safe water access for 250,000+ in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (with UNICEF); nearly 750 computers/tablets donated to 66 educational institutions in Guatemala; and medical equipment for the ‘La Mascota’ children’s hospital in Nicaragua. Source: Church Newsroom, June 2026 2. FAITH & DOCTRINE 2A. President Christofferson in Philadelphia & Toronto A busy week of ministry for President D. Todd Christofferson: He offered the invocation at Becket’s Canterbury Medal Gala in Philadelphia (multifaith event celebrating religious liberty), alongside Elder Gary E. Stevenson and others. The group also visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall — fitting, ahead of America’s 250th. Christofferson reflected on D&C 101 and the Constitution’s purpose to protect ‘all flesh.’ From Philadelphia, he and Sister Christofferson traveled to Toronto, meeting 250+ missionaries in the Canada Toronto Mission weeks before it divides into three missions (Toronto West, Toronto East, and Montreal). He also spoke to hundreds of LDS youth, with one — Amelia Fischer — saying ‘no amount of words can describe how I felt tonight.’ Source: Richie’s document / Church Newsroom 2B. BYU Scholar Study: Religion Adds 7.6 Years to Life The BYU Wheatley Institute is releasing three reports analyzing 3,000 of the most scientifically rigorous studies (culled from 60,000+ papers by Duke University) on religion and health. Key findings: 33/34 studies show improved social health; 10/11 show improved mental health; 7/8 show improved physical health. Regular worshippers live an average of 7.6 years longer (up to 13.7 years longer for African Americans). A ‘landmark finding’: 256 studies show religion prevents/aids recovery from substance abuse (vs. 6 showing negative impact). Author Loren Marks recommends public health frameworks treat religious involvement like exercise recommendations. Source: Richie’s document 2C. Elder Soares Testifies in the Philippines Elder Ulisses Soares completed a two-week ministry in the Philippines (mid-May 2026), meeting with 600+ young single adults in Cebu, 450+ in Quezon City, and 340+ missionaries at the Philippines MTC. His recurring message: ‘His arms are extended to all of us.’ The Philippines has more than 905,000 Latter-day Saints — the Church’s fourth-largest national membership. Two new temples were also dedicated in the Philippines this month: the Davao Philippines Temple (Elder Renlund, May 3) and the Bacolod Philippines Temple (Elder Andersen, May 31). Source: Church Newsroom, June 17, 2026 3. CULTURE & CURIOSITIES 3A. LDS Author in Everyman’s Library — A First BYU biology and bioethics professor Steven L. Peck has reportedly become the first Latter-day Saint author included in the prestigious Everyman’s Library series (publishing canonical English fiction since 1906). His 2012 novella A Short Stay in Hell — a philosophical horror story about a Mormon man condemned to an afterlife library containing every possible book — went viral on BookTok and found a new audience. A literature historian noted: ‘No Mormon or Mormon-adjacent writer that I know of has ever been featured in this prestigious series.’ The Salt Lake Tribune covered the story, noting the irony that a theological horror story marks one of the most significant moments in LDS literary history. Source: Salt Lake Tribune / Richie’s document 3B. The Sasine Family — 40 Countries Before Age 1 Keith and Chelsea Sasine, an LDS couple stationed in Germany (Keith is an Army oral surgeon), made history in November 2025 by taking their youngest daughter Mia to 40 countries before her first birthday (March–November 2025), using a Honda Odyssey for European road trips. The family of six (including Izzy, 10; Abby, 9; and John, 4) attends local wards wherever they travel — a faith anchor the couple says strengthened their testimony and taught their kids the importance of the Sabbath globally. They’re planning a move to Colorado Springs in 2026. Source: Richie’s document 3C. Jen Affleck (Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) Expecting Baby #4 Jen Affleck, 27-year-old star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Dancing with the Stars alum, announced June 18 that she and husband Zac Affleck are expecting their fourth child. She shared the news on Instagram captioned ‘Chapter Four.

Matthieu Burin a une intuition au démarrage de Hemea : "quand tu as besoin de faire des travaux de rénovation, c'est un enfer. Tu sais pas à qui t'adresser, tu sais pas combien ça coûte, et tu as l'impression que tu vas te faire avoir."10 ans plus tard, Hemea est devenue une marketplace de travaux qui a réalisé plus de 5000 chantiers, levé 15M€ et structuré un réseau national de courtiers en architecture et rénovation.Ingénieur de formation, passé par les grands projets du BTP et un court passage en cabinet de conseil, Matthieu lance Hemea en septembre 2015 avec 473€ de RSA et une conviction simple : digitaliser un secteur que personne dans l'écosystème startup ne voulait toucher.Ce qui suit, c'est 10 ans de construction patiente.Dans cet épisode de La Galère, Matthieu revient sans filtre sur l'envers du décor d'une marketplace dans un marché à 70 milliards où personne ne fait confiance à personne : un premier MVP bricolé sur Typeform et Excel, une liste de 97 problèmes clients établie sur un tableau blanc, une décision radicale sur la gestion du cash, et un pivot stratégique en pleine restructuration du marché VC en 2023.

Two years later, her net worth is $115–120M, with $65M in public equities and $15M in a single stock alone. But the numbers are the least interesting thing that's happened since.After the sale, she secretly launched a second fitness company, had panic attacks she's never talked publicly about, shut the whole thing down, and spent two years in legal fallout. Then she had a baby, pulled an accepted lake house offer the morning after making it, and started forcing herself to spend $200K a month just to stop the money from piling up.This episode covers the full portfolio breakdown two years post-exit, why she's done with private investments, the Ambition story she's never told, what a baby did to how she thinks about money and time, and what she actually wants to be remembered for — which has nothing to do with net worth.Sponsors: Daily Body Coach - achieve your dream body with https://moneywise.dailybodycoach.com

La imputación de Zapatero&cía —o cómo se llame ahora— representa: 1 ) la posibilidad de que el PSOE sea una estructura profundamente corrupta, o lo que es lo mismo, un partido as usual de la partitocracia canónica; hasta el punto de que —en una suerte de ingreso traumático de lo real en el que el carácter ficcional del modo en el que nos relacionamos operativamente en el mundo se desvela como tal, una mentirijilla que nos facilita la vida— ya no podemos relacionarnos con el PSOE fingiendo que es una cosa diferente a lo que el PSOE realmente es. 2) La constatación definitiva, por si era necesaria alguna prueba más, de que el PSOE —uno de sus aparatos fundadores— ha sido expulsado del R78 y hay una operación puesta en marcha para desalojar al Gobierno vía judicial, mediática, política y diplomática mediante. Es decir, por todas las vías. Esto ha llegado a suceder como si, en una fase terminal de la respuesta autoinmune del R78 a los desafíos del ciclo político 2011-2022, las defensas atacaran finalmente al propio cuerpo. Una dinámica en la que es posible que el PSOE tenga una responsabilidad no pequeña. Para afrontar y superar los desafíos y la impugnación del ciclo 2011-2022, el R78 segregó una serie de anticuerpos en esta forma que Pablo Elorduy ha llamado el Estado feroz. Aquí segregar significa, en una gramática variable, que autorizó, legitimó, confraternizó, toleró o dejó hacer según el caso y la conveniencia a determinados aparatos de estado (incluidos los aparatos de información ) a actuar para expulsar, debilitar o aniquilar esos cuerpos extraños (15M, Municipalismos, Podemos, etc.) o que se han vuelto extraños (Junts, Esquerra) que desafían la estabilidad y legitimidad del régimen. Hasta este punto el PSOE es plenamente responsable de ello. Autorizó, legitimó, dejó hacer y sobre todo, se benefició de ello. ¿Qué sucedió para que haya terminado devorado por esta dinámica, canibalizado por unas dinámicas que él mismo contribuyó a generar y activar? 1) Activada esta dinámica, legitimada en su proceder, a las fuerzas conservadoras y reaccionarias no les ha sido difícil impusarla a una nueva fase, ordenarla e instrumentalizarla. Pero si 1) ha sido tan fácil es porque 2) a estos núcleos movilizados y activistas del Estado feroz nos les ha faltado ímpetu ni iniciativa. Quizás nunca ha sido más importante en nuestra historia reciente (donde importante significa disfuncional) la composición material y humana de los aparatos de estado. La expulsión del PSOE supone una reestructuración fuerte del campo político y uno de los vectores estratégicos más importante del ciclo que se nos está viniendo encima Drama sobre drama, aquí lo importante es que parece dominar en los núcleos de los aparatos duros del Estado a) una concepción patrimonialista del Estado y b) estrecha y preconstitucional de la nación y la patria. Una noción en la que España se identifica con ellos mismos y sus homólogos de clase, anterior y superior a la democracia, con la que tiene una relación accidentalista. De esta manera, en nombre de España (en esta concepción patrimonialista y estrecha) se está en cierto modo habilitado para bordear, extrañar o desreconocer la democracia y sus derechos. En resumen, un esprit de corps reaccionario que activado y tolerado en una primera fase, y movilizado y legitimado en una segunda, ha terminado por comprender al PSOE (una de sus partes componentes y fundadoras) como también él un cuerpo extraño. Con el que se está habilitado a hacer lo que se estaba legitimado a hacer con los cuerpos extraños: al que se esta autorizado y legitimado a expulsar, aniquilar, castigar, destruir y un largo y triste etc. Si esto resuena a lawfare es porque cuando funciona, así funciona el lawfare. Si nos estremece un cierto latigazo de pánico, es porque el cuerpo es sabio e intuye la que se nos viene. Conclusiones. La expulsión del PSOE supone una reestructuración fuerte del campo político y uno de los vectores estratégicos más importante del ciclo que se nos está viniendo encima. El PSOE navega en esto incómodamente, entre la estupefacción y la aceptación estratégica. La extraordinaria resistencia que está mostrando el Gobierno, al menos hasta el momento presente, habla de que hay un área que ya está en lo segundo, pero es lógico intuir que el impulso apparatchik, especialmente conforme público y crítica vaya soltando la mano, a negociar la rendición, entregar los aparatos de estado, pasar la penitencia y pedir el reingreso en el club, es ya también un proyecto en marcha. De momento, por el presente, si el lawfare hace del PSOE uno como nosotros/as, la otras cositas no lo hace, justamente, uno de nosotros/as. Esta distinción, que no ha estado clara precisamente estas semanas, pero distinguir y trabajar ambas cosas —una pulsión que acerca y otra que nos aleja— va ser uno de las elementos claves para sobrevivir y crecer en el ciclo político que se abre. Ciclo político que se anticipa necesariamente feroz.

Thinking about gifting money or assets to your kids or other family members? Before you write that check or transfer that stock, there are some important tax rules and planning pitfalls you need to understand.In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, Nate, Evan, and Polly break down everything you need to know about lifetime gifting — from the 2026 annual gift tax exclusion ($19,000 per recipient) to the lifetime gift tax exemption ($15 million individual / $30 million for married couples). They explain when you need to file Form 709, what types of assets you can gift, and why gifting appreciated stock can actually backfire thanks to the step-up in basis trap.The conversation goes beyond tax rules into the real-world side of gifting that most people overlook. How do you talk to your kids about receiving a large gift? What happens to your child's college financial aid if you gift them money at the wrong time? And why does relinquishing control over the gift matter more than most people realize?They also cover custodial accounts vs. 529 plans, the tax implications of gifting real estate, and the most common pitfalls advisors see when clients try to gift without a plan. Whether you're thinking about helping your kids with a down payment, funding a grandchild's education, or simply passing along wealth while you're alive to see it enjoyed, this episode gives you the framework to do it the right way.Topics covered:- What assets you can gift (cash, stock, real estate, and more)- 2026 annual gift tax exclusion ($19,000) and when to file Form 709- Lifetime gift tax exemption ($15M individual / $30M married)- The step-up in basis trap when gifting appreciated stock- Real estate gifting considerations- Why communication with gift recipients matters- How gifting affects college financial aid and FAFSA- Custodial accounts vs. 529 plans- Why relinquishing control is essential- Where to start before you gift- Common gifting pitfalls to avoidCheck out the related blog post for additional information - https://walknercondon.com/blog/gifting-to-family-members-what-to-know-before-you-give/ Chapters:0:00 – Introduction & Evan's CFP Journey1:49 – Polly's Milestone: First Tooth & the Tooth Fairy Economy3:03 – What Assets Can You Gift?4:50 – 2026 Annual Gift Tax Exclusion ($19,000) & Form 7096:13 – Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption ($15M Individual / $30M Married)6:50 – Gifting Stock: The Step-Up in Basis Trap9:04 – Real Estate & Other Asset Gifting Considerations9:57 – Why Communication with Recipients Matters11:37 – Impact on College Aid & FAFSA12:41 – Custodial Accounts & 529 Plans14:52 – The Importance of Relinquishing Control15:47 – Where to Start Before You Gift18:13 – Common Gifting Pitfalls to Avoid21:16 – Best Gifts We Ever Received21:56 – Closing Thoughts & Contact InformationSubscribe @walknercondon Visit our website for more financial planning resources and educational information: https://www.walknercondon.com ————————————————ADD US ON:LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/walkner-condon-financial-advisors-llc Facebook: https://facebook.com/walknercondon
The AI boom is making founders feel like the market is wide open, but the data tells a sharper story: valuations are up, round sizes are bigger, and the bar to “count” in a top-tier fund's Monday meeting keeps rising. We sit down with Peter to translate Q1 2026 venture capital trends into founder reality, from seed-stage pricing distortions driven by AI infrastructure to the quieter pressure building across the rest of the startup market.We get specific on early-stage fundraising benchmarks and why Series A now looks riskier than many people assume. Median Series A valuations have climbed close to 2x in a few years, while typical raises jumped from roughly $8M to $10M to $13M to $15M. That changes everything: ownership targets, follow-on costs, and the outcome math that pushes investors (and founders) toward “decacorn-plus” expectations. If you are pitching $100M ARR as the endgame, you may already be behind.Then we zoom out to the forces shaping who wins: Bay Area gravity, a real valuation gap versus other hubs, and practical tactics like visiting the Bay to capture network effects without uprooting your life. We also dig into defensibility in AI application startups, where building is faster but competition is fiercer, plus the rise of smaller teams and solo founders, and what that means for hiring, equity, and motivation on early teams.Chapters00:00:00 LLM Hype And Bubble Warning00:02:13 Five Stars Then We Begin00:03:02 Seed Prices Spike In AI Infra00:07:10 2026 Benchmarks For Pre-Seed To A00:09:36 Series A Doubles And Exit Math00:12:54 Bay Area Gravity And Valuation Gap00:18:22 Defensibility Gets Harder In AI Apps00:23:22 Smaller Teams Solo Founders Talent Shifts00:35:20 VC Fund Shakeout And Final Share AskSend me a message to let me know what you think!
Most dental practices lose new patients the moment a call goes unanswered - and most don't know it's happening. In this episode of The Thriving Dentist Show, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah break down the after-hours and missed-call response system every dental practice needs in 2026. Inside: why 95% of new patients won't leave a voicemail, the 60-second response standard, when Book Now buttons help (and when they kill new patient numbers), and the simple audit every practice should run on its own phone system. Plus the wake-up call: a $15M multi-location practice that was missing 1,400 calls a month with no idea it was happening. Bonus guest segment from Dr. Jeff Buske on the work-to-home transition no one in dentistry talks about. Want to find out how many calls YOUR practice is missing?

El programa analiza las próximas elecciones andaluzas, donde se prevé la victoria de Juanma Moreno, aunque la mayoría absoluta es incierta y el PSOE afronta una debacle histórica que podría afectar a Pedro Sánchez. Se destaca la transformación de Andalucía en una región dinámica y emprendedora. También se conmemoran los quince años del 15M, un movimiento que, según el análisis, no mejoró la política, sino que propició el populismo, desestabilizó las instituciones y fragmentó el panorama político, dejando una "regeneración" que ha llevado al enriquecimiento personal de algunos de sus protagonistas. En el ámbito internacional, la cumbre entre Xi Jinping y Trump revela la firmeza china sobre Taiwán, considerado un objetivo irrenunciable, mientras se espera una posible reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz. La situación económica española preocupa, con la AIReF advirtiendo sobre la necesidad de recortes o subidas de impuestos y una previsión de menor crecimiento. Además, el IVA del gas y la ...
El programa analiza las elecciones andaluzas, destacando la campaña de Juanma Moreno y la incertidumbre sobre su mayoría absoluta, que podría forzarle a pactar con VOX. Se subraya la difícil situación de María Jesús Montero, cuya candidatura es un desastre para el PSOE andaluz, anticipando el peor resultado de su historia y arrastrando a Pedro Sánchez. Se debate si el batacazo electoral forzará a Sánchez a adelantar las elecciones generales; la opinión general es que no lo hará, buscando la continuidad del sanchismo. Se conmemoran los quince años del 15M, movimiento que, aunque transformó la política española con Podemos y Ciudadanos, se critica por sus "efectos tóxicos" y el "deterioro institucional". En el ámbito internacional, se aborda la visita de Trump a Pekín, interpretada como un "reparto del mundo" entre Estados Unidos y China, con Europa ausente en negociaciones clave sobre tecnología y recursos. Finalmente, se mencionan los desafíos judiciales del PSOE, con juicios ...
El programa aborda las elecciones andaluzas, cruciales para la política nacional, donde se prevé una posible mayoría absoluta de Juanma Moreno, un "batacazo" del PSOE y el estancamiento de VOX. Se analiza el decimoquinto aniversario del 15M, criticando su instrumentalización por la extrema izquierda y el empeoramiento de problemas como la vivienda. También se informa sobre la reunión entre Trump y Xi Jinping en Pekín, destacando la influencia china y la "línea roja" de Taiwán, aludiendo a la "trampa de Tucídides". Otro tema es la falta de medios contra el narcotráfico tras la muerte de dos guardias civiles en Huelva, y la polémica por las declaraciones de María Jesús Montero. Finalmente, se discute la persistente inflación, el aumento de precios y las advertencias de la AIReF sobre la economía española, que rebaja las previsiones de crecimiento y alerta sobre el uso de fondos europeos para pensiones.
Hoy se cumplen 15 años de aquel 11 de mayo de 2011 en el que una manifestación, que a priori comenzaba como tantas otras, terminó en un asentamiento en la Puerta del Sol de Madrid que cambió para siempre la historia política de España. Ha pasado el tiempo y este capítulo parte de una pregunta que Juanlu Sánchez lanza a varias personas que estuvieron allí: “¿A quién le importa hoy el 15M?” Esas personas, que estuvieron implicadas activamente en aquel movimiento, y que nos han enviado sus notas de voz son Fabio Gándara, Guillermo Zapata, Clara Nieto, Stephane Grueso, Sofía Coca y Patricia Martín.

Quince años después del 15M, el balance es melancólico ante el incumplimiento de sus promesas, la persistencia del bipartidismo y la falta de regeneración democrática. La nueva política no resolvió los viejos males, limitando los cambios a la subida de alquileres y la pérdida de la ilusión por protestar.

They almost didn't make it through last year and they'll tell you that to your face.Jon Bier sits down with Josh and Katy Whalen — co-founders of Joi + Blokes, the national virtual clinic redefining hormone optimization, peptides, and longevity for both men and women — for one of the most candid conversations about building a business, a marriage, and a life inside one of the most regulated and fastest-moving spaces in healthcare.

A big single-stock win can feel like freedom one day and a tightrope the next. This plan walks through how a family holding ~$15M in NVIDIA shares can turn concentrated success into stable, low-stress wealth—without torching liquidity on taxes.Start with the only question that matters: How much diversified capital is needed to fund a confident lifestyle?Reverse-engineer that number, then use precise tools to reach it, keeping meaningful upside while lowering single-stock risk.What's inside this episode: - Decide your lifestyle floor first: Define the minimum diversified capital required to fund spending needs with confidence.- Complement, don't duplicate: Use separately managed accounts (SMAs) to add what's missing so exposure isn't stacked on top of NVDA, Apple, and Amazon.- Create tax “ammo”: Systematic tax-loss harvesting and long/short SMAs to build a reservoir of losses that can offset gains when trimming the position.- Account coordination, not silos: Asset location that overweights missing exposures—international, small caps, real assets—inside 401(k)/403(b) to hit global targets while cutting tax drag.- Optimize NVIDIA employee benefits: Mega backdoor Roth contributions paired with a generous 401(k) match for higher tax-advantaged compounding.- Thoughtful de-risking: Selective pruning vs. selling everything—manage taxes, sequence risk, and liquidity step by step.- Advanced tools, clear trade-offs: Exchange funds, covered-call overlays for selective income, and charitable gifting of appreciated shares via donor-advised funds.- Portfolio-level management: Make decisions across all accounts, not account-by-account.- Graduate from accumulation to optimization: Shift the focus to risk control, tax efficiency, and reliable cash-flow.Who this helps- NVIDIA employees with RSUs/ESPP and sizable NVDA exposure- Founders and tech execs holding concentrated single-stock positions- Anyone looking to diversify without a massive tax bill and buy long-term peace of mindThe bottom line— fund the lifestyle floor with diversified assets so one ticker never dictates your future, or your mood.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

John Stossel. The Complete Guide to Socialism vs Capitalism (Myths Explained) People find fault with capitalism. Many think they'd prefer socialism. Why? Because they believe absurd myths about it For example: When socialist countries fail, defenders say: “That wasn't real socialism.” Some say that about the Soviet Union (which made private business illegal). “That's about as close as the world ever saw to the purest socialist end of the spectrum,” explains economist Ben Powell. Meanwhile, capitalism gets trashed. We are told billionaires get rich by making others poor. But that's another myth. In the video above, we debunk 5 myths about socialism, and capitalism.
