In this episode, Griff Green dives into one of the most urgent challenges in crypto today: Can Ethereum actually become safe enough for everyone? From billion-dollar hacks to AI-driven exploits, security has become the defining bottleneck for the future of decentralized systems. Griff shares lessons from over a decade in crypto from the original DAO hack to leading new efforts like the DAO Security Fund, a $170M initiative designed to fund and coordinate Ethereum security at scale. This conversation explores: • The DAO Security Fund & how it works • Turning Ethereum security into a public good • The recent wave of hacks across DeFi & Web2 • The Arbitrum Security Council decision & North Korea exploit • Why incentives for white hats are broken • AI as both the biggest threat and biggest defense • Coordination vs fragmentation in Ethereum security • Why crypto still isn't safe for normal users • Lessons from the original DAO hack • Quadratic funding & new experiments in capital allocation • The future of public goods funding in Ethereum The core idea: Security isn't just a feature. It's the foundation of everything. If Ethereum can become truly safe, it won't just compete with traditional finance it could replace it. Greenpill isn't just about funding public goods. It's about building systems people can actually trust. greenpill.network @owocki  @greenpillnet https://x.com/griffgreen https://x.com/Giveth Some of the materials we mention in the episode:  - https://x.com/thedaofund  - https://qf.giveth.io/qf/apply  - https://qf.giveth.io/qf Timestamps  00:00 – Intro: Greenpill & Griff Green 01:19 – What is the DAO Security Fund? 03:16 – $170M fund & Ethereum security as a public good 04:25 – The current wave of hacks (Web3 + Web2) 05:07 – AI arms race: white hats vs black hats 07:14 – Short-term risk vs long-term security 08:10 – Lindy, AI & system resilience 09:06 – Arbitrum hack situation explained 10:26 – KelpDAO exploit & systemic DeFi risk 12:50 – Why hackers didn't move funds immediately 13:54 – Emergency governance & Arbitrum response 15:35 – Flashbacks to the original DAO hack 18:17 – The hardest part: returning funds to users 20:40 – Multi-DAO coordination problem 22:21 – Why this situation is more complex than before 23:43 – DAO Security Fund: goals & vision 26:08 – Security as a scalable public good 27:48 – Coordination vs individual defense 28:22 – Why "security" works better than "public goods" 29:10 – Why crypto still isn't safe for normal users 30:14 – Open source vs public goods framing 31:06 – Giveth QF round & how to apply 33:33 – Expert-weighted quadratic funding experiment 36:18 – Tunable QF & improvements over past models 38:01 – Is quadratic funding still relevant? 39:06 – 10-year vision: Ethereum as global infrastructure 41:36 – Why hacks keep happening 43:17 – Misaligned incentives for white hats 44:57 – Future of public goods funding 45:21 – How the Arbitrum situation plays out 47:22 – Decentralization vs security council debate 49:11 – Social media manipulation & misinformation 50:53 – Are L2s still decentralized? 51:20 – Final call to action (QF round) 52:44 – Closing thoughts

John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate, provides an update on the company's Quebec igneous phosphate project intended to produce purified phosphoric acid for LFP batteries. Passalacqua discusses a Danish Export Credit Agency LOI for up to 170 million euros for equipment and services, building on prior support including a Canadian federal non-repayable $16.7 million contribution and a similar 170 million US dollar EXIM Bank LOI, alongside a definitive bankable offtake agreement with some prepayment. He explains milestones needed to convert LOIs to definitive financing, with feasibility targeted by end-2026 and permitting in early 2027, supporting an aggressive 2029 production target. The conversation also covers completion of ~40,000 meters of infill drilling, discovery of two new zones that may expand the pit and resource, and the rationale for building a local North American/Western LFP supply chain amid geopolitical supply-chain disruptions. 00:00 Intro 00:56 Danish Financing LOI 02:25 Trade Tensions and Cooperation 03:04 From LOI To Definitive 04:25 Offtake Agreement De-Risking 06:18 Capex and Capital Stack 08:33 Drilling Results New Zones 10:50 Open Pit Depth and Mine Design 13:01 Geopolitics Supply Chain Resilience 15:21 North America and Europe Focus 16:11 Wrap Up and Tickers First Phosphate Introductory Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD7t1Q7OZfU Previous interview: https://youtu.be/mF2XegyOoEU Access press releases discussed: https://firstphosphate.com/news/ https://firstphosphate.com/ CSE: PHOS – FSE: KD0 – OTCQX: FRSPF – OTCQX-ADR: FPHOY Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor First Phosphate pays Mining Stock Education a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has received a letter of interest from Denmark's Export Credit Agency (EIFO) for up to €170 million in equipment and services financing for its igneous phosphate mine project in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. Passalacqua explained that EIFO, which is backed by the Danish state, provides guarantees that are effectively considered AAA-rated. These guarantees support banks financing the project, with EIFO expected to participate on a pro rata and pari passu basis alongside other senior lenders. He noted that EIFO has extensive global experience in export and project finance, having supported numerous large-scale transactions across multiple industries. The proposed guarantee remains subject to EIFO's internal credit approval, completion of due diligence, and finalization of documentation. This includes standard reviews covering environmental and social considerations, as well as the establishment of borrower, guarantor, and security structures. The letter of interest is non-binding at this stage and will be governed by Danish law and jurisdiction once finalized. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #QuebecMining #Phosphate #CriticalMinerals #EIFO #ProjectFinance #MiningFinance #QuebecMining #Saguenay #ResourceDevelopment #CleanTech #BatteryMaterials #Infrastructure #ExportFinance #MiningInvestment #EnergyTransition

www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings  Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes."  Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie.  The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.

On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Barry, who presents a medical device focused on improving treatment for hydrocephalus, a condition caused by excess fluid in the brain. Barry describes the current standard approach—ventricular-peritoneal shunts that drain fluid from the brain to the abdomen using a long rubber tube—and outlines key issues including infection, clogging, and siphoning that can over-drain the brain. He notes a 40% first-year reintervention rate, with roughly $1B in first-year reintervention costs and about $3B in annual overall health system costs, and explains that patients typically face a lifetime of revisions averaging about 10 surgeries. Barry explains their alternative approach, "physiologic shunting," which drains cerebrospinal fluid into part of the venous system and is placed entirely on the cranium, avoiding the long-tube failure points. The procedure is described as a 15–30 minute implant that can be done under local anesthesia, requires no navigation/robotics, uses standard neurosurgical tools, and is designed for constant, self-regulating flow. He positions the device as a Class II de novo/510(k) pathway and says the team has had two FDA pre-submission meetings, is currently in sheep animal studies, and plans a GLP study later in the year to support an IDE for human use. Barry shares market context: the U.S. hydrocephalus shunt market is about $170M annually with around 100,000 surgeries per year, including about 70,000 revisions; worldwide the market is about $500M. He argues a more reliable device could rapidly capture the revision market and notes the current market is dominated by Medtronic and Integra. He also discusses an additional opportunity in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) in patients over 65, stating there are about 700,000 diagnosed in the U.S. and only 1% receive shunts despite symptom improvement. Barry states the company has raised $2.5M to date and is seeking an additional $2.5M via convertible note to reach a first-in-human pilot targeted around 2025, with initial offshore pilots potentially in South America or Australia. Barry is a medical device industry professional who presents a cranial implant designed to simplify hydrocephalus management and reduce revision surgeries. He emphasizes the device's ease of training for neurosurgeons, multiple cranial placement locations, and a "no bridges burned" approach where the implant can be removed and replaced through a small skin incision if needed. Barry describes a competitive landscape that includes one competitor pursuing an endovascular technique, while his team's approach is a surgical technique intended to be safer, simpler, and not dependent on specialized equipment. He also discusses manufacturing readiness, stating a supplier/contractor has been identified and that devices used in animal studies meet sterility and related standards. Barry discusses the shortcomings of current shunts, the company's physiologic shunting approach, the regulatory and study plan toward first-in-human use, the funding raise, and the market opportunity—especially capturing the large revision segment and potential expansion into normal pressure hydrocephalus. ________________________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https:/_/tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

On this week's Crypto Curious podcast, we break down three stories that say a lot about where the market is right now: speculation, security, and what's coming next.Here's what we cover:

If you're a sensitive creative, healer, or entrepreneur, then whether you use the word “launch” or not—you're always putting something out into the world. A new offer. A group program. A workshop. A book. An idea.And let's be honest: that visibility can feel vulnerable, overwhelming, and dysregulating.But what if launching didn't have to feel like forcing yourself into a mold? What if it could feel more grounded, intuitive—and actually energizing?In this episode, I'm joined by Danielle Weil, copy and marketing strategist and creator of LaunchFlow®, a methodology that helps expert business owners launch in a way that builds momentum without burnout. Over the past two decades, Danielle has written dozens of 6- and 7-figure launches and generated over $170M in sales—but her approach centers flow, alignment, and ease (not hustle, urgency, or bro-marketing tactics).We talk about:✨ What “energy-aligned launching” really means (and why it matters)✨ How to spot the sneaky signs that your strategy is out of sync with your natural rhythm✨ Why resistance might not be a mindset issue—but a sign that something's off✨ Common traps sensitive entrepreneurs fall into when launching—and how to shift out of them✨ Client transformation stories that show what's possible when you launch from a place of flow✨ Why having support to reflect your blind spots can help you come back into alignment✨ Danielle's “soapbox” message for anyone trying to find their way in business without selling outWhether you're launching a product, a service, a program—or simply yourself—this conversation is here to remind you that you don't have to sacrifice your energy, your well-being, or your truth to grow your business.✨ Connect with Danielle:LaunchFlow Roadmap: www.dwcopy.com/roadmapPodcast: Market Like a ParentInstagram: @daniellekweilLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danielleweil✨ Connect with Anna:Free workshop — Let Yourself Be Seen: www.annaholtzman.com/beseenInstagram: @anna.holtzmanEmail: anna@annaholtzman.com

A special Asked and Answered By Soul. Listen to one of Jennifer's favorite people, Danielle Weil, and her new podcast - Market Like a Parent (& Parent Like a Marketer).

We're joined by Tomicah Tillemann, former U.S. State Department official and President of Project Liberty, for a conversation on the entrenched problems of the Internet and how to rebuild it from the ground up with digital rights, sovereignty, and decentralization at its core.   Tomicah has spent decades working on governance, blockchain innovation, and digital infrastructure. As a key architect behind the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) and the Frequency blockchain, his mission is to restore agency, trust, and dignity to the digital public square.   We dive into: -Why today's internet operates like a digital feudal system and how to break free -The rise of the attention economy vs. the potential of an "intention economy" -How Project Liberty's Frequency infrastructure is helping millions regain control of their data -The People's Bid to acquire TikTok and what it means for platform ownership -Why AI agents must serve individuals not corporations -Lessons from blockchain land registries, data scraping lawsuits, and digital identity   Key Takeaways from the Episode:   1. The Internet Is Broken by Design: Big platforms dominate because they've captured our data and social graphs. Tomicah argues this has led to a neo-feudal internet where users generate value but own nothing.   2. The Path to Digital Sovereignty Starts with Shared Infrastructure: Through DSNP and Frequency, Project Liberty is building a protocol layer where users control their identities and data, independent of any platform.   3. Attention Economy vs. Intention Economy: We're fed content designed to addict us. What if platforms instead let us define what we want and curate our own algorithms?   4. Why Project Liberty Could Transform TikTok: If successful in acquiring TikTok, Tomicah's team would migrate 170M users onto Frequency, allowing data portability, shared economic upside, and participatory governance.   5. AI Agents Should Work for Us, Not Big Tech: Like Kurt Flood challenging MLB's reserve clause, Tomicah believes users deserve AI agents that act as fiduciaries, not surveillance tools.   6. Open Models Must Be Paired with Compensation: Even when AI scrapes public data, individuals should benefit economically. New systems can recognize digital labor and creativity.   7. Blockchain Still Holds Real-World Potential: From land registries to stablecoins, decentralized tech offers breakthrough solutions, especially in emerging markets where institutions are weak.   8. Decentralized Identity Is Key to Truth: In an AI-saturated world, verifying authenticity is critical. Frequency lets posts be cryptographically validated without storing full data on-chain.   Timestamps:   (01:53) – What's wrong with the internet? A history of digital feudalism (04:11) – Network effects and the value users create but never capture (07:03) – Shared social graphs vs. platform monopolies (09:00) – Why platforms manipulate us: inside the attention economy (10:32) – Designing an intention-based digital experience (15:13) – What Frequency is and why millions are using it (18:35) – How Frequency enables social graph portability for developers (19:20) – Comparing DSNP to other decentralized networks (e.g. BlueSky) (22:19) – The good and bad of LLMs—and how to steer them responsibly (27:51) – Should OpenAI pay us for using our data? A digital labor argument (29:34) – Why we need AI agents that act as fiduciaries (31:43) – What a decentralized TikTok would look like (31:55) – Governance, monetization, and the shift to user ownership (35:19) – Blockchain for land titles: a Global South use case (37:55) – Why stablecoins are money for the internet (39:01) – Identity and authenticity: how Frequency verifies truth online (41:38) – Rating U.S. crypto policy: regulation, innovation, and FTX fallout

Shoot us a Text.Friday is upon us once again, and today we're talking about Rivian's first positive gross profit quarter, Carvana's record quarter, how Tesla is instituting wait queues at Superchargers, and the design of Kia's new PV5 van.Show Notes with links:We could talk about tariff warnings, but we aren't going to. We could talk about the ongoing Nissan saga and Moodys downgrading their stock to ‘junk status' but we're not going to. Instead…we're going to talk about…Rivian hit a major milestone, achieving its first-ever positive gross profit of $170M in Q4 2024, a $776M improvement from the previous year.Total revenue hit $1.73B, above expectations of $1.4B.Rivian cut per-vehicle costs by $31,000 year-over-year, helping it turn the corner.Despite this, the company still posted a $743M net loss for the quarter.Meanwhile, Carvana swung to a record $159M net income in Q4They sold 114,379 used vehicles in Q4, a 50% increase year over year.Full-year revenue hit $13.7B, with a record $1.4B adjusted EBITDA.Stock dropped 12% after-hours due to concerns over softening per-vehicle margins.CEO Ernie Garcia “In 2024, Carvana became the most profitable public automotive retailer in U.S. history as measured by adjusted EBITDA margin while also resuming industry-leading growth,”Tesla's Supercharger network is the best in the game, but with increased usage from both Tesla and non-Tesla EVs, long wait times have become a problem. After a viral altercation at a Supercharger, Tesla is finally launching a virtual queue system in Q2.Tesla will roll out the queue at select Superchargers nationwide, aiming to improve the experience for the ~1% of users who experience wait times.The viral video shows two Tesla owners arguing over a charging spot, highlighting the need for a structured waiting system.Tesla has not provided details on how the queue system will work, but a broader rollout is expected later this year if feedback is positive.The company continues to expand its Supercharger network by over 20% annually to meet growing demand.Tesla in a statement said, “Goal is a net customer experience improvement,”Kia has revealed  the exterior design of its PV5, the first EV under its "Platform Before Vehicle" (PBV) brand. Designed to compete with electric vans like the VW ID Buzz and Ford E-Transit, the PV5 offers a modular design for cargo, rideshare, and even #vanlife.The PBV system allows the van to transform between different body types while keeping the driver cab fixed.Uber has already signed an agreement to add the PV5 to its fleet as part of its all-electric push by 2040.While Kia has not shared powertrain, range, or pricing details, more information will be revealed at Kia EV Day in Spain later this month.“With PBV, we are redefining mobility—one platform, endless possibilities,”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
