Dr. Mark Grether, SVP and General Manager of PayPal Ads, joins Phillip from PayPal's Manhattan offices to argue that the merchant storefront is migrating off owned websites and into LLMs. This may make the mechanics of customer experience and loyalty a bit murky, but Mark explains how PayPal's "transaction graph,”  built on real purchases across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, acts as the deterministic identity layer that the post-cookie ad world has been missing.  We also cover the evolving world of commerce media, from zero-click commerce and CTV attribution to PayPal Ads' newest product, Storefront Ads, which transforms the creative into the checkout.  The Cart Cartographer Key takeaways: Consumers now start product discovery on LLMs, not search engines or merchant sites. PayPal's transaction graph spans 30M merchants and 400M consumers, representing real purchases, not just clicks. Deterministic payment identity beats cookies and probabilistic IDs for cross-channel attribution. Storefront Ads turn any ad into a one-click, pre-populated checkout. Creators run two businesses: generating consumer data, then monetizing it. [00:04:03] "We're not just seeing behavior, we're actually seeing the real transactions. We know what people are purchasing — not whether they search for something or browse for something. We actually see what they are buying." – Mark Grether [00:11:00] "The trick about our identity is it was built from a finance perspective, meaning I need to understand that you are you and not your twin brother. Our identity has to clear a much higher bar compared to probabilistic IDs or cookies." – Mark Grether [00:13:40] "The idea of Storefront Ads is that the creative itself becomes the shop. You're getting exposed to the sneakers, and with one click, you can actually make the purchase. We already know who you are, we know your bank account, we know your address — everything is pre-populated. From a consumer perspective, it becomes super easy to finish a transaction."

Neal and Ryan sit down with Yitz Levinson, President of Hillmount Capital,  a Toronto-based private lender with over $400M under administration and 22 years in the business. Yitz shares how his background as a licensed insolvency trustee shaped the way Hillmount underwrites every deal: exit first, entry second. The conversation covers their unique MFT structure, how they flex across residential, commercial, and construction depending on market conditions, their approach to special situations and insolvency lending, and why Yitz is more focused on deal terms than competing on rate in today's aggressive market. If you want to understand how a sophisticated, long-running private lender thinks about capital preservation, risk, and the current economic climate, this is a must-listen.Show Notes:1:45 - From Accountant to Insolvency Trustee3:23 - How Hillmount Was Founded4:27 - The #1 Reason Deals Go Bad5:56 - Hillmount's Lending Profile7:21 - Construction Loans8:12 - What Differentiates Hillmount9:20 - Special Situation Lending11:07 - Speed, Direct Lending & the HiLOC12:30 - White Glove Service14:54 - MFT vs. MIC16:11 - Organic Investor Growth17:59 - Staying Disciplined on Rate & LTV18:15 - Preservation of Capital19:09 - Concerns About Today's Market21:49 - Tariffs, Recession & the Macro Picture22:23 - Warning Signs on the Street23:21 - Short-Term vs. Long-Term Loans24:13 - Are We in a Recession?25:33 - No Land Buying = Future Housing Shortage26:06 - Regional Market Breakdown28:06 - Bruised Credit Borrowers28:45 - Working With Borrowers in Distress30:14 - Mortgages Act Reform31:45 - Concerns About New Products in the Market32:46 - "We Underwrite the Story, Not the Box"Resources:Keystone Capital GroupCPLP Instagram: @cplpodcastKeystone Instagram: @keycapgroupFind Neal On:Instagram: @neal.andreinoLinkedIn: Neal AndreinoFind Ryan on:LinkedIn: Ryan MacNeilE-mail: ryan@keycap.ca

Dr. Amber Michelle Hill spent 14 years inside medical research — as a neuroscientist, in the lab, on the preclinical side, and patient-facing — before she discovered the real reason 90% of clinical trials fail. And it has almost nothing to do with the science. In this Inspiring Women conversation, host Laurie McGraw sits down with the founder and CEO of Research Grid (R.grid), the London-based, VC-backed company she built to take the administrative burden out of clinical trials, speed them up, and make them more diverse and representative of the people the medicines are meant to serve. Research Grid didn't start as Research Grid. It grew out of Movement for Hope, a nonprofit Amber founded during her academic years that brought researchers, artists, and patient advocates together to raise awareness for neurological conditions. When COVID shut the events down and investors passed on the idea, she repurposed the technology — and the hard-won community relationships behind it — into two AI products: Inclusive, which automates everything that happens before a trial starts and expands access to underrepresented patients, and Trial Engine, which automates the back office of the trial itself. Today that network spans 99,000+ communities, 400 million members across 157 countries, and 2,000 health indications — all built by hand, over years, with no bought data, while the company stayed stealth for four years before launching in 2023. Amber breaks down why a single medicine takes 10 to 14 years to go from bench to bedside, why $400 million per trial is burned on admin alone, and how women were once excluded from drug testing entirely. Then she gets brutally honest about raising money as a woman of color in a world where less than 2% of funding reaches female founders — including the investor-scoring matrix she built to decide who's even worth her time. And through all of it, she stays an artist: every painting in her home, including the giant acrylic pour behind her, is her own. WHAT WE COVER: - The art-and-science mind behind the company — and why painting quiets her thinking - 14 years as an end-to-end researcher, and how Movement for Hope became Research Grid - Why 90% of clinical trials fail — and why it's an admin problem, not a science one - The hidden cost of research: $400M per trial and 28,000 hours per person on admin - Why 84% of trials still don't reach the people who need them in time - How women were excluded from drug trials, and the fight to diversify research - Building a 400-million-member network the hard way, with no bought data - How AI took a six-month site feasibility process down to minutes - The truth about raising capital when you're "different from the person across the table" - How she scores and filters investors instead of chasing them - Repositioning to seed and landing in the top 1% of seed-stage companies globally - Her golden rule for founders: never assume common sense GUEST: Dr. Amber Michelle Hill, Founder & CEO, Research Grid (R.grid) HOST: Laurie McGraw ABOUT INSPIRING WOMEN: Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw features candid conversations with the women leaders, founders, and changemakers reshaping their industries.

Logan, Queensland, doesn't typically produce global empires. Jason Daniel didn't get that particular memo.The founder and CEO of LSKD built a self-funded, $400M global activewear brand from a BMX nickname, a carpenter's apprenticeship, and five years stuck at $3 million in annual revenue—and he did it without a single outside investor. What broke the plateau wasn't a strategy. It was books, a self-development course called Landmark Forum, and the birth of his son Hendrix six months before he scrapped everything and rebranded.In this conversation, Jason talks about what the plateau actually feels like from the inside—the canceled orders, the weeks he couldn't pay himself, the quiet question of whether he'd have to go back to the job site. He talks about why he trademarked "1% better every day," how a mission that started as an internal team value became the spine of a 700-person company operating across three countries, and what it actually takes to scale a culture without hollowing it out. He also gets into his own running journey: from a sub-1:30 half marathon that nearly broke him, to chasing a sub-three-hour full—and why he believes the grind of distance running and the grind of building a brand are teaching him the same thing.Some brands sell a lifestyle. LSKD built one first.Tap into the Jason Daniel Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! S H O W  N O T E S  -The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run  -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffzInstagram: @jasondaniel_Website: lskd.co

At the peak of George Rivera building his company, he was practically printing money, but was working 90 hours a week and hating life.The business had everything. His family got what was left.He had to stop being the answer to everything inside his company. He built the systems, transferred the ownership, and stepped back. Two years later the business had scaled past $50 million and he was working 30 hours a week.

Sometimes a book-to-film adaptation tiptoes onto the big screen and politely asks for your attention — and then there's THE HOUSEMAID, which in late 2025 kicked down the door, winked at the audience, and became a runaway hit. What began as a novel marketed squarely to women suddenly transformed into a blockbuster for, well, anyone over 18 with a taste for psychological chaos and Sydney Sweeney giving the camera that “I know something you don't” stare. Amanda Seyfried joined the party, too, because why not make things even more deliciously unhinged.IMDB sums it up with admirable restraint: Millie, a struggling young woman, becomes a live‑in maid for a wealthy couple, Nina and Andrew, and promptly finds herself in a mansion stuffed with secrets, manipulation, and psychological games. In other words, it's less “dust the shelves” and more “try not to get emotionally vaporized by your employers.” The house itself practically deserves its own billing — every hallway feels like it's whispering, “Turn back now,” but of course Millie does not.Directed by Paul Feig — yes, the same Paul Feig who gave us Bridesmaids and apparently woke up one day and chose psychological warfare — and written for the screen by Rebecca Sonnenshine, the film also stars Brandon Sklenar as the male lead who may or may not be part of the problem (spoiler: he is). With a modest $35M budget and a swaggering $400M box‑office haul, the movie charmed critics, thrilled audiences, and probably made Freida McFadden, the author of the novel, do a very happy victory lap. Now your cohosts dive into the madness and share their thoughts, hopefully without getting pulled into any dangerous relationship dynamics themselves.

In this 88-minute reunion episode of Off the Screen, the full crew (Jordon, Alejandro Olivo, Michael Brunache, and Sid) is back together after a month-long hiatus. They kick off discussing the massive TV ratings for the NBA Conference Finals, sparking a hilarious rant about soaring streaming costs, Netflix password crackdowns, and unskippable YouTube ads. Once settled, the guys celebrate the San Antonio Spurs punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years. This triggers a heated, analytic-heavy debate over award season—specifically Jordon's passionate defense of Scottie Barnes' All-Defensive First Team snub and whether a Sixth Man should ever win MVP. The second half shifts to culture and tech. The crew tears apart awful product designs (like the electric Ferrari and Apple's bottom-charging Magic Mouse) and laughs over a viral, AI-generated Nike ad featuring Victor Wembanyama and elite, ankle-breaking nuns. Finally, they put on their historian hats to break down the legends behind the NBA's redesigned trophies and fact-check Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's true MVP numbers.00:00:00 — The Squad Reunites The crew welcomes everyone back from the "injury reserve" after a month away and jokes about who the most reliable host is. 00:01:24 — The Streaming Crisis & Ad Apocalypse High NBA ratings spark a debate on streaming bundles, rising subscription prices, and why paying to watch unskippable ads feels like a scam. 00:07:20 — Texas Bound: The Spurs' Finals Return Recapping the West as San Antonio clinches a Finals spot for the first time in over a decade. Plus, a look at retro court aesthetics. 00:09:14 — Award Season Theft & Jordon's Rant Jordon goes on an absolute tear about Scottie Barnes being snubbed from All-Defense First Team, leading into a debate on SGA's true MVP value. 00:16:32 — Sneaker Culture & The Steph Curry Blueprint Jordon compares his pickup game to Steph, transitioning into a talk on overseas sneaker deals and D-Wade's massive $400M lifetime bag. 00:21:47 — AI Hoops: The Fake Wembanyama Nike Ad Alejandro gets completely fooled by a viral, AI-generated commercial featuring Victor Wembanyama, real hooping nuns, and a cameo by the Pope. 00:23:54 — Design Disasters: Ferraris & Magic Mice A sharp turn into terrible product engineering, comparing the new electric Ferrari's look to the tragedy of Apple's bottom-charging mouse. 00:27:55 — Redesigning History: Trophy Hardware The guys break down the legends behind the NBA's new trophies, questioning why the 1960s Celtics dominate the hardware namesakes. 00:35:10 — The MVP Stat Check: MJ vs. Kareem Pulling up the history books to settle a debate on how many MVPs Kareem and Jordan actually won, analyzing how voter fatigue shifted history. 00:44:15 — The Knicks' Outlook & Eastern RealitiesShifting to the East. The guys discuss building a sustainable contender in New York and the immense pressure of playing at Madison Square Garden.00:56:40 — Unethical Hoops & Media NarrativesA deep dive into how media shapes player reputations and why "unethical," foul-baited styles of play get rewarded by modern refs.01:08:15 — Off-Season Blueprint & Trade RumorsLooking ahead to the draft lottery, potential blockbuster summer trades, and pinpointing which teams are just one piece away from a deep run.01:18:30 — Mailbag Questions & Quick TakesThe guys answer listener questions, covering everything from their favorite basketball movies of all time to upcoming summer sneaker releases.01:25:45 — Outro & Finals PredictionsFinal predictions for the upcoming championship series, locking in bets, and a promise not to take another month-long hiatus.

If it feels like investors everywhere have some curiosity about the defense tech landscape, then it's because more of them both want to increase their knowledge and sometimes involvement in the ecosystem. Steve Brotman, founder and managing partner of the growth equity investment firm Alpha Partners, fits into that category as an observer and participant that works with venture capital firms to be involved in promising tech companies. Steve joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode to answer the questions laid out in the title, namely how it became cool again for investors to get involved with defense tech companies and markers that indicate how long this boom of interest could last.

The U.S. scales back a social media vetting proposal that was scaring off international visitors, Dubai's $400 million in hotel relief is welcome but isn't solving the real problem, and Ryanair just paid off every last dollar of its debt at exactly the right moment. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why the U.S. walking back its ESTA social media requirements helps but may not undo the damage already done to America's image as a welcoming destination, why Dubai's hotel operators say fee exemptions don't fix a crisis caused by empty planes, and why Ryanair's debt-free balance sheet puts it in the strongest competitive position in its history just as fuel costs are hammering rivals.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Chris Van Dusen shares that the hardest thing in growing a small business is maintaining consistent output while managing capital wisely, as many business owners underestimate how much funding and sustained effort it truly takes to keep a business growing long term. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Chris Van Dusen shares that some of the business books that have helped him the most are Principles by Ray Dalio, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss, and Loonshots, which helped him think differently about innovation, negotiation, and finding asymmetrical opportunities in business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Chris Van Dusen recommends listening to podcasts like The Diary of a CEO for valuable business insights and leadership perspectives. He also shares that platforms like TikTok can be surprisingly useful for discovering short clips from business podcasts, helping entrepreneurs find new ideas, guests, and strategies before diving deeper into full episodes and long-form learning content. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Chris Van Dusen recommends using Anthropic's Claude and other AI tools to help grow a small business, explaining that AI can act like additional team members by improving efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, analyzing customer data, and helping business owners make faster and smarter operational decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Chris Van Dusen advises that if he could go back to day one of starting out in business, he would tell himself to embrace the hardship, lean into difficult challenges instead of avoiding them, and trust that the tough moments are part of the journey that ultimately leads to growth and success.

Mati Staniszewski, co-founder and CEO of ElevenLabs, joins Sequoia partner Andrew Reed at AI Ascent 2026 to talk about how a four-year-old company built a frontier audio AI business with just over 400 people and over $400M in revenue. He explains why audio was overlooked in 2022 when the rest of AI was chasing text and images, why ElevenLabs chose to monetize from day one rather than raise indefinitely, and why he believes voice will be the primary interface for agents, robots, and the next generation of computing. Also: why emotional intelligence is the next frontier in voice, and what happens when one voice agent realizes it's talking to another.

In today's conversation, I speak with Aaliyah Butler of the United States.

DOJ Goes After Comey. FCC vs Jimmy Kimmel. 1100 TSA Officers Quit Since Shutdown. Kid Rock's Apache Joy Ride with Hegseth. UAE Leaves OPEC. Gov Moore on Open Primaries.  A real king is in Washington this week, and the wannabe king in the Oval Office is making the most of the pomp. Paul Rieckhoff opens with King Charles and Camilla's visit, the Epstein questions nobody at the White House wants to touch, and the through-line that drives this entire briefing: Trump is busting up Congress, the UN, NATO, the World Bank, the EU, and now OPEC — and the institutions that held this country and this world together are being stress-tested in real time. Gas hits $4.18, the UAE bolts from the cartel, 1,100 TSA officers walk off the job, and most Americans have no idea any of it is happening. From there it's a no-BS sweep across the front lines: a $400 million ballroom funded by your tax dollars after Trump promised to pay himself, a no-bid contract inflated 3X, Pete Hegseth taking Kid Rock on Apache joyrides while the chain of command rots, the FCC weaponized against ABC and Jimmy Kimmel, a renewed indictment push against Jim Comey over seashells on a beach, and 185 people killed in 54 unauthorized strikes on so-called narco boats with Cuba telegraphed as next. Then the inspiration: Ukraine killing 30,000 Russian troops a month, Norway co-producing drones for Kyiv, independent veteran Todd Achilles taking on an 83-year-old senator in Idaho, Wes Moore endorsing open primaries, and Horace Grant's goggles.

The latest Open Source Startup Podcast episode has our co-hosts Robby and Tim in conversation with Batuhan Taskaya, the founding engineer and current Head of Engineering at generative media cloud Fal. Fal is a developer platform that allows builders to develop and fine-tune models with serverless GPUs and on-demand clusters.This episode explores how a small, highly technical team carved out a unique position in the AI boom by focusing on generative media - images, video, and audio - while most of the industry rushed toward language models. Early on, they recognized that image and video models operate very differently from LLMs. With no strong API-first players in image generation, they started there and doubled down on building reliable, high-performance infrastructure for running these models in the cloud, leveraging deep expertise in systems and performance engineering. Their strategy of embracing open-source models, then fine-tuning and optimizing them for real-world use cases, helped them quickly gain traction - growing from zero to $400M of revenue by 2026 and scaling rapidly as demand for generative media surged. The conversation also dives into how the company evolved into a full-stack generative media platform, expanding from images into video and audio as those markets matured, especially with video seeing explosive growth in 2024–2025. A key differentiator has been their relentless focus on inference performance, custom kernel optimization, and cost efficiency, which has driven strong customer retention. Rather than betting on a single model, they embrace rapid model turnover and ecosystem fragmentation, ensuring flexibility for developers and enterprises alike. Looking ahead, the biggest challenges lie in scaling video models and securing enough compute capacity in a supply-constrained GPU market. Throughout, the story highlights the power of small, focused teams with clear strategy and the ability to pivot quickly in a fast-moving AI landscape.

Today's Headlines: Cole Tomas Allen was charged in federal court with attempting to assassinate President Trump plus two gun charges — more charges may be coming, and conviction alone could mean life in prison. Trump, meanwhile, has pivoted from brief media civility straight back to ballroom obsession, with Lindsey Graham leading the charge to get Congress to approve $400 million in taxpayer money for a White House ballroom-and-bunker — never mind that it wouldn't hold half as many people as the Washington Hilton it's meant to replace. The National Trust for Historic Preservation told the DOJ to go pound sand and is keeping its lawsuit blocking construction. Trump is also back gunning for Jimmy Kimmel's job over a joke that Melania has the glow of "an expectant widow" — Karoline Leavitt backed him up at the podium, Melania tweeted at Disney to "take a stand," and all of this happened four days after the joke aired. On the Iran front, Iranian officials sent a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with either a long-term ceasefire or full peace deal, while punting nuclear negotiations to later — the White House hadn't responded as of this recording, and Iran's foreign minister was in Moscow meeting with Putin. King Charles is visiting Trump, with British officials doing everything possible to keep Charles out of Trump's infamous armchair photo sessions. Journalist Katie Phang sued acting AG Todd Blanche for failing to release the Epstein files as required by law — she's not seeking damages, just the documents the law already mandates. Gateway Computers founder and Ghislaine Maxwell ex-boyfriend Ted Waitt — the man who brought her as his plus-one to Chelsea Clinton's wedding — is testifying before Congress about his Epstein ties. Ron DeSantis proposed a Florida congressional map creating 24 Republican districts and just 4 Democratic ones, directly violating the Fair Districts Amendments that 63% of Floridians voted into their state constitution, and the legislature immediately scheduled a special session to ram it through. And Paramount filed an FCC petition requesting that foreign investors from Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar be allowed to indirectly own over 50% of the company post-merger — and asked for up to 100% foreign ownership approval for "future investments."

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday with a show that spans elections, geopolitics, and five centuries of empire. The Virginia Supreme Court holds its hearing on the redistricting referendum, and Ghost, who livestreamed it, gives his read: the justices were picking up on every constitutional violation he had flagged, and he expects a 5-2 or 6-1 overturn. Trump posts the Save America Act demanding voter ID and proof of citizenship, while California qualifies a voter ID ballot measure for November. The Supreme Court upholds Texas's redrawn map, DeSantis unveils a new Florida map netting four GOP seats, and Mississippi calls a special session that would eliminate Bennie Thompson's seat. Ghost flags serious concerns about Hart InterCivic voting machines spreading across Texas and the Heider Garcia connection to Tarrant County flipping blue. Lindsey Graham swoops in to try to turn Trump's privately funded White House ballroom into a $400M taxpayer bill, and Ghost ties King Charles's White House visit to centuries of Prussian banking empire history. NATO fractures as the US considers suspending Spain, Canada pivots toward the EU, and Germany's chancellor publicly criticizes American strategy in Iran.

EP 679: Logan Chierotti Alright, let’s be real — most supplement companies are just slapping a label on a generic capsule and calling it a day. Logan Chierotti didn’t do that. The guy bootstrapped Physician’s Choice from nothing — literally from the ashes of a failed energy mint company and a basement mugshot removal hustle — into the number one probiotic brand in the world, pushing $300 million in annual sales. No VC money. No trust fund. Just relentless grinding, a willingness to look failure in the eye, and the smarts to go all-in on one thing when everyone else was trying to do everything. But here’s what really got me interested in Logan — it wasn’t just the business stuff. It was watching a guy who built something massive still show up for his kids. Still out there on the mountain with them. Still manufacturing adversity in a life that could easily get too comfortable. That’s the tension I think a lot of us deal with, and Logan’s as honest about the struggle as anyone I’ve talked to. We go deep on the entrepreneur journey — the early days of getting sued and losing everything, the hard pivot that changed everything, what it means to go all-in on one category, and why your work ethic might actually be your biggest enemy. We also get into the dad stuff — raising kids who aren’t entitled when you’ve worked hard to give them more than you had, and why nature and hard things might be the most important parenting tools we have. If you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, an outdoorsman, or all three — this one’s for you. Pull it up on the drive or the trail.

Logan turned a flatlining supplement company into the world’s number one probiotic brand by doing something counterintuitive: he cut products that were making money to go deeper on one category. Most entrepreneurs spread themselves thin chasing every opportunity. The real unlock is picking the thing you can be truly elite at and pouring everything into it. Saying no to money today to dominate tomorrow is one of the hardest and most important decisions a founder can make. 2. You don’t need to invent something new — you need to do something existing much better. Logan’s framework for picking a business or a category isn’t about creating blue oceans — it’s about finding something that’s clearly working (proven demand, clear leader) and identifying the one thing that can be improved. Metamucil is doing $400M in fiber and their product is outdated junk. That’s not a threat — that’s an invitation. The best businesses often aren’t revolutionary ideas; they’re relentless improvements on proven ones. 3. You have more time than you think — stop the rush and be present. Both Logan and Cody landed on the same insight from different angles: the frantic urgency that drives early entrepreneurs often costs them the things that matter most — time with their kids, their health, their relationships. Logan’s parting advice says it all: your brain will work until you’re 70, there’s always more time to make money, but you can’t get time back. Whether it’s slowing down on the hustle or getting out in the mountains with your kids — presence is the play.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Matt Friedman, founder and CEO of The Mekong Club, to discuss his book “Awakening the Advocate,” which explains his career in the fight against human trafficking. Matt tells his journey through survivor/NGO stories, traces his personal journey from a shy child in Connecticut to 35 years of anti-slavery work across 35+ countries, and shows that ordinary people can become advocates. He assesses progress as limited relative to the scale of the problem (50 million in modern slavery; 110,000 helped; 6,000 convictions; $236B in profits vs. $400M, now $250M, to fight it), arguing that awareness is the main gap. He outlines how companies, especially banks, can start internally via leadership briefings, policies, awareness, targeted training, red flags, procurement review, and baseline assessments, linking efforts to ESG, business value, and reputational/regulatory risk. Matt also discusses AI's emerging role in detecting patterns across supply chains and transactions and emphasizes individual actions, pro bono support, and the importance of compliance work.

Keith Levy, Operating Partner at Sonoma Brands Capital Keith Levy backed an exit of just under $1B  and a $400M exit using the same five-pillar framework, and he starts with the founder every time. Finance comes last. As Operating Partner at Sonoma Brands Capital, Keith has spent six years evaluating consumer brands across food, beverage, pet food, snacks, and cosmetics. Before that he was CMO at Anheuser-Busch through the $52B InBev deal, president of Royal Canin USA for Mars, and the strategic acquirer who led the Kind acquisition at Mars Wrigley. He knows what the data room doesn't show you, and this conversation is built around that gap. The first of two episodes covers the full five-pillar CPG diligence framework and the Touchland and Boon's case studies. The second episode, out the following week, covers CPG brand lifecycle, exit positioning, and capital allocation.   What You'll Learn Why the founder evaluation comes before the financials. How to read product-market fit the way an operator does, not a financial analyst. What a credible go-to-market strategy looks like vs. one that crashes in execution. Why supply chain control is now a diligence requirement, not an afterthought. How to get the right operators inside a strategic acquirer interested before a banker calls. The Touchland case study: under $1B exit in less than two years The Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce case study: ($400M) exit with McCormick at the table. ____________________ If you evaluate consumer brand investments and want a framework for the risks the model won't surface, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, has the practitioner playbook.

I genuinely think 18 year old me would be in complete disbelief that this episode exists.So for some context for anyone who hasn't been here for 10 years, Kayla Itsines is the reason I started this Instagram account at all, I literally had “Kayla” in my username because my page was dedicated to doing her guide. In a weird way, everything that came after that was a complete snowball effect into what I do now, and what my life looks like, so getting to sit down with her felt very, very full circle.I really wanted this conversation to go deeper than just the "Bikini Body Guide" era and how quickly it grew. We get into success, what it means to be thrust into it so young, what it does to the people around you, and how you navigate big life moments in the public eye. We also speak about pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss in a way neither of us have really shared online before, as well as her decision to fully reacquire Sweat after selling it for $400 million in 2021. This is honestly one of my favourite episodes we've ever recorded and I feel so grateful to Kayla for not only rearranging a flight to make it happen, but also being so open and honest with me.

What separates the athletes who perform when it matters most from those who don't... and can that difference be trained?Michael Johnson is one of the greatest sprinters in history: four-time Olympic gold medalist, nine-time World Champion, and the former world record holder in both the 200 and 400 meters. He was also, by his own account, one of the most psychologically prepared competitors the sport has ever seen.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Michael takes us inside the hidden moments before the race, the call room, the gathering space beneath the stadium where eight finalists wait together in silence (or something far less than silence) before stepping out under the brightest lights in sport. He explains why the call room isn't just a logistical stop before the race. It's where the race is often decided. And he breaks down exactly how he prepared his mind to show up there.At the center of the conversation is a distinction that Michael discovered early in his career: the difference between being nervous and being scared. Nervousness, he came to understand, was fuel, a sign that he wanted it, that he was alive to the moment. Fear was something different. Fear meant he was underprepared. And once he understood that, he could do something about it.Michael shares how he used mental imagery, constantly, automatically, almost without thinking, to rehearse races until every scenario felt familiar. He explains how he learned to control his environment on race day, why Usain Bolt's pre-race routine was the polar opposite of his own (and worked just as well), and what it really means to master the controllables when the world's fastest sprinters are sitting two feet away trying to get into your head.The conversation also moves into the second half of Michael's life. Eight years ago, at age 50, he suffered a stroke that forced him to relearn how to walk. He reflects on how the same mental frameworks that made him a champion, recognizing small improvements, managing what he could control, and staying present in the process, carried him through that recovery. And he opens up about what the experience taught him: how to depend on people, how to let relationships go both ways, and why the things he'd always controlled most tightly weren't the things that mattered most.In this conversation, we explore:Why the call room is where races are won and lost, and how to navigate itThe difference between nervousness (fuel) and fear (a signal of underpreparation)How Michael used mental imagery every single day, without structure or scheduleWhy self-knowledge is the single most impactful factor in sustained performanceHow Usain Bolt's exact opposite approach led to the same outcome, and what that meansWhat a stroke at 50 taught Michael about control, vulnerability, and relationshipsThe call room is everywhere. Learn how to master it.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:00:59] Trump Announces He's Leaving the Strait of Hormuz to Iran — Declaring Victory While Running Away Trump told aides a mission to forcibly reopen the Strait would exceed his four-to-six week timeline, signaling he will exit the war while Iran retains control and begins collecting tolls — leaving the global energy crisis entirely unresolved. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:52] France, Spain, and Italy All Blocking US Military Use of Their Territory for the Iran War Spain opposed the war on moral grounds, France blocked US military supply flights over its airspace, and Italy denied basing rights to US bombers — while Hegseth and Rubio publicly begged allies for help in a war the US chose and started. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:21:30] Trump's "Victory": Iran's Navy Was Seven Frigates and Some Speedboats Trump claimed military success by destroying Iran's navy, which consisted of seven frigates and fast speedboats. Iran's missiles remain active, having forced the US to expend interceptor stockpiles defending against ongoing strikes. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:43:58] Laura Ingraham Admits on Fox: 80% of EU's LNG Passes Through Strait — Only 2% of US Oil Does Even Fox News conceded that the US launched a war whose worst energy consequences fall almost entirely on European allies, who now receive lectures from Trump to "go get your own oil" after he shut down the waterway they depend on. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:07] Trump Promised to Eliminate the $19 Trillion Debt in Eight Years — It Has Since Doubled Ten years ago Trump told the Washington Post he would eliminate the national debt fairly quickly. He is personally responsible for 27% of the now nearly $40 trillion debt, having added more than the total debt when he first made that promise. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:32] Airlines in Crisis: Jet Fuel Has More Than Doubled — United Faces $11B Extra Cost on a $5B Best Year United, Delta, and American Airlines each report ~$400M in added fuel costs in March alone. SAS canceled 1,000 April flights. Analysts warn oil could hit $200 per barrel if the war extends into summer — a 40% probability scenario. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:06:03] If Trump Bombs Iran's Infrastructure on Exit, Iran Will Destroy All Gulf Oil States Iran has explicitly warned that any strike on its electricity infrastructure will trigger attacks on refineries, power plants, and desalination facilities across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait — meaning Trump's "parting shot" threats would ignite the entire Gulf energy complex. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:21:29] Chicago Bulls Cut NBA Player Within an Hour of Him Publicly Opposing Pride Month Jaden Ivey was waived within an hour of posting Christian objections to Pride Month, labeled "detrimental to the team" — while NBA players convicted of assaults, DUIs, and gun charges routinely keep their positions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:25:01] Canada Passes Bill Making Bible Quotation a Potential Hate Crime With Life Sentence Canada's House of Commons passed Bill C-9, removing religious exemptions and allowing life sentences for expressions deemed hateful — with a Liberal MP explicitly citing Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans as constituting clear hatred. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:38:20] Supreme Court Strikes Down Conversion Therapy Bans 8-1 — Law Was Targeting Christian Counselors The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's conversion therapy ban violated the First Amendment. The case was brought by a Christian counselor prohibited from discussing faith with patients who specifically sought it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:49:27] Israel Approves Settlement Destroying 11,000 Christian Homes Near Bethlehem Israel approved the Shtema settlement requiring destruction of 11,000 predominantly Christian homes near Bethlehem and the Shepherd's Field — effectively erasing the oldest continuous Christian community in the world. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:02:07] Kristi Noem's Husband Caught Sending Cross-Dressing Photos to Online Contacts With $25K in Payments Daily Mail published verified photos of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's husband Byron in women's clothing sent to online contacts, alongside at least $25,000 in payments — raising blackmail vulnerability concerns for the head of Homeland Security. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:04:47] Palantir AI That Bombed Iranian Schoolgirls Now Picking IRS Audit Targets The same AI targeting system used in the Iran war — which selected a girls' school for a cruise missile strike killing ~160 children — has been contracted to select Americans for IRS audits and is already being used against Trump's political enemies. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:08:26] Apple's iOS 26.4 Silently Installs Digital ID — Crippling Phones of Non-Compliant Users Apple quietly implemented mandatory digital ID verification without disclosing it in release notes, disabling phone functions for users whose documents don't meet Apple's standards. The child protection justification is described as cover for big tech's real goal: ending anonymity to monetize verified identity data. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:04] WHO, Gates Foundation, and Pfizer-Tied Singapore Firm Rolling Out Global Vaccine Passports The WHO is partnering with a Singapore government firm that invested $250 million in BioNTech and the Gates Foundation to roll out "interoperable digital health wallets" — the ID2020 and IA2030 agenda now moving into live implementation as a global movement control infrastructure. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:29:04] Trump Puts His Signature on Dollar Bills and Face on Gold Coins — First Sitting President Ever Trump is placing his signature on all future Federal Reserve notes beginning June 2026 and minting a dollar coin bearing his face — the first sitting president in US history to do either, timed to the 250th anniversary of a republic he is described as actively dismantling. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:41:18] Trump Campaigned on Killing FISA — Now Backing Full Section 702 Reauthorization Despite running on an all-caps "Kill FISA" platform in 2024 and calling it illegally weaponized against him, Trump is now backing full reauthorization of Section 702 warrantless surveillance — described as simply wanting to be the one wielding the weapon rather than opposing the weapon itself. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:49:19] Trump Pardoned Nursing Home Fraudster Who Paid $1M in Lobbying — Abuse Victims Got Nothing Trump granted a full pardon to a rabbi-owned nursing home operator convicted of a $39 million payroll tax scheme who served only three months.
