When China banned gallium exports, it didn't hurt AGNIT Semiconductors, it made them essential. Hareesh Chandrasekar reveals how geopolitical supply chain wars created a $13 million opportunity and why India's first GaN chip company is competing with billion-dollar rivals on just $5 million. In this episode, Hareesh Chandrasekar, Co-Founder and CEO of AGNIT Semiconductors, shares the unconventional journey of commercializing 18 years of IISc research into India's first indigenous GaN chip company. From leveraging ₹300 crores in government-funded R&D infrastructure to competing with billion-dollar global players on a $4.87 million budget, Hareesh breaks down the capital-efficient playbook for deep tech startups. He reveals how China's gallium export restrictions created sovereign demand for AGNIT's chips, why defense contracts came before consumer markets, and the brutal reality of scaling from lab prototypes to 100,000 chips in 12 months. With three chips currently in field trials for defense applications and expansion planned into electric two-wheelers, AGNIT is at the forefront of India's semiconductor manufacturing revolution. He shared this candid journey with host Akshay Datt, exploring the intersection of geopolitics, deep tech commercialization, and the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0. This conversation is essential for founders tackling hardware, investors evaluating deep tech, and anyone interested in India's strategic technology ambitions. In this episode, you'll discover:

BT & Sal dissect Hal Steinbrenner's year-end press conference, focusing on his comments regarding the Yankees' massive payroll and his reluctance to promise another $300M+ spending spree to keep pace with the Dodgers. The hosts vent their frustration over Hal's lack of "irrational behavior" and his deflections on the team's failures, including blaming players for the summer swoons and playoffs. The discussion centers on Hal's claim that it's "not fair to assume" the Yankees make a profit, which the hosts quickly call out as a convenient gloss-over of their $8 billion valuation. Finally, they debate the necessary "radical" roster changes needed, like trading Giancarlo Stanton, to rebuild a winning club, arguing that simply running it back with a healthy rotation and Cody Bellinger isn't enough to secure a World Series.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber continues to command headlines with a string of personal and professional moves that blend pop superstardom, family life, and entrepreneurial grit. Over the past few days, he and Hailey Bieber have become the talk of Hollywood's Halloween scene, debuting as the ultimate “Incredibles” family together with their son Jack Blues Bieber. Justin slipped into the role of Mr. Incredible while Hailey wowed as Elastigirl, and little Jack Blues stole hearts as Jack-Jack, their coordinated red-and-black superhero looks igniting a storm of delighted reactions across Instagram and X. The Biebers' penchant for creativity didn't stop there: Hailey posted a second round of photos showing Jack dressed up in a retro tribute to his dad's YouTube-era style, complete with the purple hoodie and white jeans that once defined Justin's earliest fame, sparking nostalgia among millions of fans.Not content with dominating the festive circuit, Justin made headlines for his latest digital adventure, officially joining Twitch where he now promises nearly daily livestreams and candid content. His debut session showcased basketball games, pool challenges, and sneak peeks at a sprawling warehouse kitted out for creative work and family downtime, including a play area for Jack. Fans tuning in got direct updates on his preparations for Coachella 2026, with Justin hyping up his live show and relishing the chance to connect on a more personal level. Yet, some corners of the media have raised eyebrows about his mental health and new fascination with firearms. RadarOnline and similar outlets report that Justin has developed a strong interest in guns, spending considerable time at ranges and in the woods. Insiders suggest it helps him focus, while Hailey is supportive but gently worried, hoping he'll channel his energy into safer hobbies.The long-term biography may remember this year less for music than for Justin's seismic shift into business. CEO Today highlights his $300 million empire with the launch of SKYLRK, a minimalist streetwear line that sold out its first collection instantly and marks a matured aesthetic leap from his previous Drew House project. Bieber's approach is distinct: full creative control, innovative pop-up events, and direct-to-consumer strategies that reflect his evolving style and independence. Analysts say his brand signals an entrepreneurial revolution, positioning Justin among the world's most successful celebrity founders amid industry names like Rihanna and Kanye West. The Biebers' dual power is felt as Hailey's Rhode skincare climbs beauty industry ranks, making the pair prototypical influencer-entrepreneurs of this generation. Justin, who earlier sold his music catalog for a reported $200 million, continues diversifying—investing in eco-friendly fashion and technology startups—building a legacy with resilience and adaptability.Social media has buzzed about Bieber's family posts, Halloween creativity, and Twitch debut, but also the shifting focus of his public persona from pop idol to hands-on father and bold investor. Industry insiders expect these moves, especially the rapid scaling of SKYLRK and daily digital engagement, will shape his career's next era far more than any chart-topping single. As more details surface and collaborations are teased, it's clear Justin Bieber is writing a new chapter—one that blends spectacle, savvy, and substance in the ever-public eye.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, host Justin Vandehey sits down with Max Mozes, Director of Revenue Operations at Walmart for Business, to unpack what it takes to build a world-class B2B motion inside one of the world's largest retail organizations.Before joining Walmart, Max carried a quota as a seller, scaled local business teams at LevelUp (acquired by Grubhub for $400M), and held key operational roles at Amazon Business — giving him a unique perspective on how to connect frontline sales experience with scalable systems and data strategy.Together, Justin and Max dive into:The evolution of RevOps from sales enablement to strategic business architectureHow Walmart is redefining B2B commerce for 30+ million potential business customersWhat RevOps looks like when you're serving both local bakeries and Fortune 500sThe art of structuring and prioritizing massive datasets across millions of prospectsWhy data enrichment and hierarchy matter more than just “more data”What's hype vs. what's real when it comes to AI and GTM automationAnd the soft skills that separate good operators from great ones: agency, resourcefulness, and ownership Key TakeawaysB2B at scale is an architecture problem. Data flows, enrichment, and prioritization define how sales teams actually execute.RevOps must translate complexity into clarity. The role is as much about storytelling as it is about systems.AI and data are only as powerful as the processes behind them. Automation should amplify human productivity, not replace it.Resourcefulness + Agency = Operator Superpowers. The best RevOps leaders identify problems, fix them, and bring solutions already in motion.Memorable Quotes“Every business in the U.S. is a potential Walmart customer — from a one-person bakery to a university with a $300M endowment.” “There's no sales team big enough to manually reach every account — so data prioritization becomes your growth strategy.” “RevOps isn't about the system you use. It's about how you organize information so sellers can take action.” “Agency and resourcefulness — that's the difference between operators who just report problems and those who drive change.”Chapters00:00 — Introduction: From Seller to RevOps Leader 02:00 — Lessons from LevelUp and Amazon Business 03:30 — Bridging Sales and Operations 05:00 — Inside Walmart for Business: Scaling B2B at Retail Scale 08:00 — Data Architecture, Enrichment, and Prioritization 11:00 — AI Hype vs. Reality in Enterprise RevOps 14:00 — Building Resourceful Teams and Taking Ownership 17:00 — Walmart for Business: Hiring and Next StepsResources & MentionsWalmart for Business — https://business.walmart.comGrubhub acquires LevelUp — $400M acquisition (TechCrunch, 2021)Max Mozes on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellmozes About the GuestMax Mozes is the Director of Revenue Operations at Walmart for Business, where he leads strategy, data, and process optimization for one of the largest B2B commerce initiatives in the U.S. His career spans sales and RevOps roles at Amazon, Grubhub/LevelUp, and high-growth startups, giving him a rare perspective on building go-to-market infrastructure from both startup scrappiness and enterprise scale.

This week's episode opens with a layoffs avalanche that could bury a small HR department. Nestlé slashes 16,000 jobs—mostly white-collar, as AI now crunches numbers faster than accountants can say “chocolate river.” Meta cuts 600 from its super-intelligence team (the irony writes itself), Paycom drops 500 engineers (guess the bots finally learned to code), Handshake axes over 100 (pivoting to “AI-centric tech” = fancy talk for “we're toast”), and even programmatic darling Appcast trims 32. The hot acquisition pitch? JobGet should buy Handshake and rebrand it Handjob.com—because nothing screams “career move” like a domain that triggers every corporate filter. The bullshit meter detonates. Facebook resurrects its job board after killing it in 2023—rumor has it Zuck's prepping AR glasses where “Starbucks is hiring” beams directly into your latte-fueled daydreams. X quietly buries its LinkedIn-killer tab (Elon's too busy monetizing outrage). Adzuna unveils a “revolutionary” search that's basically ZipRecruiter's Phil minus the creepy spokesperson—half-baked, no employer-side matching, and it begs for your email like a desperate Tinder bio. Metaview's Chicago billboard (“Who says hiring has to be fair?”) gets flayed: four-second glance, logo smaller than a South Park punchline, and DEI messaging dumber than a rock. Fix? “Effective AI. Giant Logo. Metaview.com.” Done. Stop torching $35M on ego art. Funding fireworks: Findem.ai pockets another $51M, hitting $105M total (Intello 2.0, now with agent spice—same data warehouse, new flavor packet). Deel raises $300M, pushing its war chest to $1.3B at a $17.3B valuation—enough to buy a mid-sized nation and still tip the barista. Armstrong grabs $12M for AI dish-washing robots (Taco Bell's drive-thru is about to ghost human order-takers faster than you can say “Doritos Locos”). Jack & Jill scores $20M for conversational job alerts—talk to your laptop, get emailed Indeed links. Groundbreaking… if it's 2001. Economy's a K-shaped tire fire: Hamburger Helper sales spike 14% (flashbacks to salty 70s trauma: “Dad tried to fix it with more salt—burned my mouth and my will to live”). Freight rates up 20%, subprime auto delinquencies worse than COVID, Great Recession, and dot-com bust combined. White Castle flips fully autonomous in Ohio—farewell, drive-thru jobs; hello, robot flipping your sliders while you doom-scroll in sweatpants. Finale: OpenAI green-lights erotic ChatGPT for verified adults starting December (the internet was literally built on the promise of pixelated nipples—Sam Altman's just cashing the OG check). Age-gating? Cute. Show me a 10-ft wall, I'll show you an 11-ft ladder and a forged ID. They also launch ChatGPT Atlas, an AI browser with a sassy sidebar—because Chrome's 2:38 median tab time and 11.4 open tabs (recruiters: double that, easy) needed a drunk-texting career coach.

Most people are sitting on the sidelines. But Chris Tourtellotte who's built over 3,000 multifamily units and $1.5B+ in real estate is doubling down… Not on development. But on buying existing cash-flowing assets for 30-40% below replacement cost. In this episode of Cashflow Connections, Chris reveals why he's calling this a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity and how he's pivoted his billion-dollar firm to take full advantage of it. We cover: The hidden math behind distressed multifamily deals Why he's bullish on storage (and how it complements residential) His strategy for scooping up off-market deals from mom-and-pop owners What he learned from raising a $300M storage venture Why 2025 could be the best year to buy since 2010 If you're wondering whether to wait or to strike, you need to hear this.

What does it take to build a billion-dollar company with fewer than 100 people, all while placing customer obsession and responsible AI at its core? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy speaks with Phillip Swan, Chief Product and Go-to-Market Officer of the AI Solution Group, to unlock the secrets behind blending innovative tech, ethical AI, and truly frictionless customer experiences. Philip shares his journey from co-founding PI Partners to merging with AI Solution Group, revealing untold stories about how he and his team leverage AI to drive unprecedented operational momentum and organizational growth. From identifying “migraine-level” pain points to eliminating data leaks caused by shadow AI, Phillip's insights challenge conventional thinking and tackle the big questions: Can AI really build trust and customer advocacy?
