Jeff and Jeremy dive into a fascinating study from Study Finds and GigaCalculator that breaks down concert ticket prices by cost per song, revealing the true value of your concert experience. Jeff, a self-proclaimed stats nerd, geeks out over the numbers, while Jeremy questions who even thinks to analyze concerts this way! They explore the study's high, middle, and low tiers, spotlighting artists like Teddy Swims ($4.75 per song), Ed Sheeran ($4.79 per song, the cheapest per minute!), and Lana Del Rey ($16 per song for a short 83-minute set). The hosts also debate the jaw-dropping per-show earnings of megastars like Oasis ($17.16M per show) and Lady Gaga ($8.2M), while Beyoncé and Charli XCX make the priciest per-song list. Things get local as they compare two California Mid-State Fair acts: Flo Rida ($5.58 per song for a 12-song set) versus 311 ($4.71 per song for a 21-song set), declaring 311 the better value. Tune in for a mix of music, math, and hilarious banter as Jeff offers to calculate your concert's cost-per-song this summer Hashtags: #ConcertTickets #MusicEconomics #GigaCalculator #StudyFinds #CaliforniaMidStateFair #FloRida #311 #TicketPrices

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo dive into the growing exodus of Canadian talent to the U.S., breaking down why top founders and engineers are choosing Silicon Valley over homegrown opportunities. They discuss OpenAI's latest move to charge up to $20,000 per month for AI-powered research agents and how companies are rethinking hiring in light of these powerful tools. The conversation also covers the controversial CoreWeave IPO, highlighting its rapid $1.9B revenue surge, heavy reliance on Microsoft, and whether it signals a coming shake-up in cloud computing. On the political front, they analyze the potential for an early Canadian election, shifts in party leadership, and how economic policies—like capital gains tax hikes—are driving entrepreneurs out of the country.Canada's Tech Exodus: Why Founders Are Flocking to the U.S. (07:00)A striking rise in Canadian emigration has raised concerns about the country's ability to retain top talent. In 2024, 81,601 Canadians left the country, the highest number since 2017—half of them from Ontario.* Capital gains tax hikes pushing high-net-worth individuals and founders to relocate.* U.S. venture capital firms providing better funding opportunities for Canadian startups.* YC founder exodus: More Canadian founders are moving to the U.S. post-Y Combinator Demo Day, as confirmed by YC CEO Gary Tan.John Ruffolo's take:* Canada risks losing its top tech talent permanently if it doesn't address the capital and policy gaps driving this migration.* Founders aren't leaving out of convenience—it's about better market access, capital, and scaling opportunities.OpenAI's $20K/Month AI Agents: A Game-Changer? (18:00)OpenAI is rolling out three tiers of AI-powered assistants, capable of advanced research, software development, and business strategy—at a hefty price tag.Pricing breakdown:* $2K/month: Handles advanced knowledge worker tasks.* $10K/month: AI for software development.* $20K/month: PhD-level AI agents for deep research.Why this matters:* AI-powered coding tools like Cursor.dev have already grown to $100M ARR in 18 months.* Founders are increasingly opting for AI engineers over hiring multiple full-time developers.* This signals a shift in the labor market, potentially disrupting high-paid professional roles in tech, research, and consulting.CoreWeave's $2B Revenue IPO—Boom or Bust? (12:00)CoreWeave, a cloud computing startup that stockpiled NVIDIA GPUs early, is racing toward a high-profile IPO.Key numbers:* Revenue skyrocketed from $16M in 2022 to $1.9B in 2023.* Microsoft accounts for 62% of its revenue, sparking concerns over customer concentration.* The company holds $11B in debt, raising questions about profitability.* Founders cashed out $500M pre-IPO, raising red flags.John Ruffolo's analysis:* This looks like a high-risk, low-margin business that may struggle to justify its valuation.* Heavy debt financing and reliance on Microsoft contracts make it a shaky bet.* If public markets reject CoreWeave, it could be a warning sign for other AI and cloud IPOs.Will Canada See an April Election? (03:00)With Canada's Liberal Party leadership race heating up, rumors suggest an election could be called as early as March 16, with a vote on April 22.* The Liberals want a short election to limit Conservative fundraising advantages.* Mark Carney is positioned as the Liberal frontrunner, but he doesn't currently hold a parliamentary seat.* Coalition talks between Liberals, NDP, and the Green Party could reshape Canada's political landscape.Projected outcomes:* Conservative majority is still likely, but the margin has narrowed.* A left-wing coalition could prevent a Conservative landslide.The Bigger Picture: Where is Canada Headed?From AI disruption and talent migration to political uncertainty, this episode of Tank Talks dives into the forces reshaping Canada's future.

Interview with Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman & CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/santacruz-silver-mining-tsxvscz-stabilising-silver-production-to-bolster-balance-sheet-3925Recording date: 27th November 2024Santacruz Silver Mining (TSXV:SCZ) is hitting its stride after a transformational year that has significantly bolstered the company's financial position and growth prospects. The Bolivia and Mexico-focused silver producer delivered strong Q3 2024 results with $78M in revenue and $16M in EBITDA. More importantly, Santacruz has emerge from a multi-year restructuring effort with a much cleaner balance sheet and ample liquidity to fund organic growth.The key development was a successful renegotiation of Santacruz's agreement with senior partner Glencore. By amending the terms, Santacruz eliminated $8M in annual royalty payments and pushed out the maturity on $40M of debt to late 2025. This, combined with improved operations, has enabled Santacruz to generate meaningful free cash flow, with $20M in cash as of Q3.Management is taking a two-pronged approach to driving shareholder returns: reducing costs at existing mines while advancing low-capex, high-impact growth projects. A focus on optimizing ore blending, modernizing equipment and leveraging synergies between mines is starting to bear fruit, with all-in sustaining costs trending lower. CEO Arturo Préstamo Elizondo sees further opportunities to boost efficiency, stating "We're doing works and having initiatives across all our mines to achieve better production and lower costs."On the growth front, the flagship organic project is restarting the past-producing Soracaya mine in Bolivia. Originally built to produce 4Moz silver annually, Soracaya is essentially turnkey and can be brought online within a year for minimal capital. Santacruz is also building a new mill at San Lucas to double output to 4Moz silver equivalent by bringing processing in-house. Together these two projects provide a clear path to 25%+ production growth over the next 2-3 years.Underpinning the Santacruz investment case is a bullish outlook for silver prices. While up substantially since 2020, Prestamo sees $20/oz as "a solid floor" based on strong industrial demand growth. "More and more uses are coming for silver, not only solar panels but for environmental and pharmaceutical use. Unlike gold, silver is used up, so you always need new ounces," he explained. Higher silver prices would amplify the impact of Santacruz's operational improvements and growth initiatives.In summary, Santacruz offers investors a compelling turnaround story with multiple ways to win. With its balance sheet derisked, costs falling and production poised to climb, the company is well positioned to deliver outsized returns going forward. If management and the entire operations can execute, Santacruz has the potential to be a standout performer in a rising silver price environment.View Santacruz Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/santacruz-silver-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

And yet, it didn't work out.This is what happens to 95% of startups. On thhis show, we mainly speak with the top 5%-- the ones where things went right and everything worked out. But you tend to learn more from failures than successes.On this episode, we go deep with David to see what building Tandym was like, why it ultimately didn't work, and what he would do differently the second time around.Why you should listen:Why you should always start with the model that requires the least capital Why you need to be a number one priority for your customersWhy even hitting $1M ARR doesn't mean you will succeed.Why you need to pivot quickly as soon as things are clearly not working. iKeywordsproduct-market fit, startup journey, fundraising, fintech, brand partnerships, business model, sales challenges, urgency in sales, Tandem, lessons learned, startup, fundraising, product strategy, compliance, revenue growth, entrepreneurship, lessons learned, business pivot, mid-market brands, capital managementTimestamps(00:00:00) Intro(00:03:30) The Origin of Tandym(00:09:26) Taking the Leap(00:11:37) The Business Model(00:17:22) Developing the Product(00:21:05) Struggling to Create Urgency(00:26:50) Raising Rounds & Shifting(00:35:11) First Signs of Problems(00:39:01) The Product that we should've launched(00:42:12) How it All Ended(00:49:56) Final Thoughts & AdviceSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Recent research from the University of Chicago shows that only 14% of cancers in the U.S. are diagnosed after the patient had a recommended screening test. 57% of diagnosed cancers do not have screening tests and account for 70% of all cancer-related deaths. 86% of cancer cases still go undiagnosed after recommended screenings. 16M+ life years saved in the U.S. from early-detection screenings. I don't know about you, but everytime I read those stats, my jaw hits the floor.When it comes to cancer, early detection is key to saving lives. With 610,000+ cancer deaths in the U.S. each year, most of which stemming from cancer types with no FDA-approved screening options, new technology is making revolutionary strides in detecting cancers that have been previously undetectable in early stages.There are now new tools intended to be used complementary to established cancer screening assessments. However in some cases, especially for cancer types that have no previously established screening test and are notoriously hard to detect, it may be the only warning sign currently available for providers.In this week's episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Joshua Routh and I talk about just that. We discuss the rising cancer burden and the cutting-edge role epigenetics plays in revolutionizing early cancer detection. Dr. Routh, a molecular genetic pathologist and medical director at Precision Epigenomics, shares insights into how new diagnostics, such as Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) tests, provide opportunities to catch cancers earlier than ever before. We also explore the technology behind these tests, their impact on patient outcomes, and what the future holds for epigenetics in diagnosing and treating cancer and other chronic diseases.You'll learn about:Dr. Joshua Routh's journey from engineering to molecular oncology.The alarming statistics behind late-stage cancer diagnoses and why early detection is critical.Current cancer screening limitations and how epigenomics offers better solutions.How Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) tests like EPISEEK work to catch cancer earlier.The difference between EPISEEK by Precision Epigenomics and Galleri by Grail.Why test accuracy mattersWhat to expect if you get a positive cancer result and how recurrence monitoring works.The broader future of epigenetics in treating conditions like heart disease and neurological disorders.Chapters:00:10 - Introduction to Dr. Joshua Routh and His Career Journey04:48 - The Growing Cancer Burden and Challenges in Screening09:00 - How Epigenomics is Transforming Early Cancer Detection13:12 - Multi-Cancer Detection Tests: What Are They?18:22 - EPISEEK by Precision Epigenomics vs. Galleri: Comparing the Leading Tests25:27 - Cancer Therapy Resistance and the Role of EpigenetSupport the showWhere to Find Us:Instagram Twitter Facebook Follow us on:Apple Podcast Spotify YouTube Visit our website for more information and resources: everythingepigenetics.com Thank you for joining us at the Everything Epigenetics Podcast and remember you have control over your Epigenetics, so tune in next time to learn more about how to harness this knowledge for your benefit.

When Emma Westenberg landed the job directing the music video for Janelle Monae's track, PYNK, it opened a Narnia-like door to a whole new world of creative possibility. The video – which featured Monae wearing those iconic vulva trousers – went viral, clocking up more than 16M views to date, earning Emma both a Grammy and MTV Music Video Award-nomination, and perhaps best of all, being described as “a Queen” by Janelle herself.Since then, her career has accelerated in all directions—from a Super Bowl ad spot featuring Zoe Kravitz, to music videos for Troye Sivan, Princess Nokia and Rico Nasty, to commercial work for clients from ASOS to Vogue, to directing a feature starring celebrated Scottish actor, Ewan McGregor (OBE!) and his real-life daughter Clara in Bleeding Love—and it doesn't stop there!No matter what the scale and nature, Emma brings her distinctly witty and whimsical aesthetic to every project, and, in this beautifully candid episode, she talks us through some of the challenges, lessons and moments of magic along the way—from working with tricky collaborators under pressure, to the simple joy of making art for art's sake.“I think only the crazy ideas are the brilliant ones. I like things that are unexpected, or offbeat, or that rattle you in some way. You want art to do that, to show you something new or exciting” — Emma WestenbergFollow Emma @emma.westenbergEPISODE INSIGHTSHow perseverance and rising to the challenge can reap huge rewardsThe water-off-a-duck's-back mindset needed to stay focused and resilientWhy tapping back into the joy of art-making is essentialHow projects that feel chaotic in the making can turn out to be the best in the editThoughts on the episode?

Liza shared how her own experience as a military spouse drove her to create a solution for others facing the same challenges.Military spouses often find themselves moving every few years, making it difficult to build a traditional career. Liza understood this struggle firsthand and turned it into a business opportunity that connects military spouses with remote jobs in customer experience roles. “If I was climbing a traditional corporate ladder, I would constantly be starting over,” Liza explained. "I have a high skill set... I have a lot that I can give and contribute."Instant Teams allows military spouses to take their jobs with them when they move, offering stability in their careers. Liza's company builds entire customer experience teams for brands, providing a highly skilled workforce to companies while giving military spouses the continuity they need.The venture has grown significantly since its inception in 2016, with over 500 employees and 68,000 military spouses on their platform. Liza's innovative approach has not only solved a major problem for military families but also created a scalable business model.Her advice for entrepreneurs, especially women, is simple yet powerful: “Sizing the market upfront and telling the story along with it... made a huge difference in my personal success and being able to raise money.”Liza's work is an inspiring example of how identifying a problem close to home can lead to a meaningful, impactful business.tl;dr:Guest Introduction: Liza Rodewald, founder of Instant Teams, was featured. The company connects military spouses with customer experience jobs, helping them maintain their careers despite frequent relocations due to military life.Challenges and Achievements: Liza discussed the challenge of raising venture capital as a woman, noting that less than 2% goes to women-led companies. Despite this, she successfully raised funds and grew her company while being a military spouse.Instant Teams' Mission: Instant Teams is dedicated to building remote customer experience teams for companies, using the skills of military spouses who can work remotely and maintain continuity despite relocations.Business Model: Instant Teams works with middle-market and enterprise companies like Aflac and Expensify, offering both a marketplace and fully outsourced services. They have grown to over 500 employees and serve 68,000 military spouses.Superpower and Advice: Liza emphasized her superpower of solving problems by seeing the bigger picture. She advises women entrepreneurs to focus on building relationships, providing transparency to investors, and leveraging networks for long-term success.How to Develop Problem-Solving with Passion As a SuperpowerLiza Rodewald's superpower is her ability to step back, see the big picture, and solve complex problems. With a background in engineering, she approaches challenges by analyzing issues and finding solutions that not only address the immediate need but create lasting impact. Her deep passion for helping others fuels her drive to solve meaningful problems, particularly those affecting the military spouse community.Liza shared a moving example of how her superpower played out in real life. She opened a co-working space in Southern Pines, designed to connect military spouses with job opportunities. One day, a military spouse came in, overwhelmed and struggling with a rigid job that wasn't compatible with her lifestyle. Liza and her team were able to match her with a more flexible position that aligned with her needs. The connection transformed the woman's life, providing a sense of balance and fulfillment. This personal interaction exemplified Liza's ability to identify problems and create meaningful, life-changing solutions.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Step Back for Perspective: Take a moment to step back from challenges and view the bigger picture. Analyze how different elements connect and where opportunities for problem-solving lie.* Lead with Passion: Fuel your efforts with genuine passion for helping others. When you care deeply about the outcome, you'll find creative and effective ways to overcome obstacles.* Build Networks: Establish and nurture relationships with people who can help you solve problems. Keep these connections warm, as they may provide unexpected opportunities for collaboration or support.* Stay Realistic: While passion drives your efforts, temper it with practicality. Make tough decisions when necessary to maintain a sustainable business model while keeping your mission intact.By following Liza Rodewald's example and advice, you can make problem-solving with passion a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
