Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' the podcast examining the rapid transformation of the legal profession. On one hand, massive financial investments are reshaping the legal technology landscape, exemplified by companies like Filevine securing $400 million in funding to scale their AI-powered platforms. These professional-grade systems, such as Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal, are delivering measurable returns, promising to save professionals up to 240 hours annually and drive enterprise agility. Yet, this new era is defined by high risk and ethical complexity: lawyers face severe sanctions and fines, up to $10,000, for relying on generative AI to produce fabricated case law ("hallucinations") without rigorous personal verification. This tension forces organizations to move past overly complex, unused technology and embrace simplicity as a strategy to meet efficiency goals. As law schools mandate AI training for new students and the judicial system explores how to redefine access to justice using community "justice workers", we discuss the imperative to implement AI responsibly, maximize organizational impact, and ensure professional accountability when integrating advanced technology.Simplicity as Strategy: Rethinking Legal Tech to Drive Enterprise Agility2025-09-24 | CEOWorld MagazineAI Backfires: Lawyer Fined $3,000 For Fake Citations In $20M Case2025-09-23 | Middletown Daily VoiceNew Edited Volume Offers Diverse Perspectives on Access to Justice and the Future of Legal Services2025-09-23 | Stanford Law SchoolCalifornia Court Issues $10,000 ‘Warning' Over Lawyer's ChatGPT Brief2025-09-23 | EWeekApproaches To Drive AI Adoption In Biglaw2025-09-23 | Above The LawFilevine raises $400M for its legal case management platform2025-09-23 | SiliconANGLEBriefpoint Launches Autodoc: AI Tool Automates Responses to Document Requests in Discovery (Plus A Video Demo, Plus Priority Access)2025-09-23 | LawSitesIntapp partners with Lexsoft to expand its market share in Spanish-speaking countries2025-09-23 | Legal Technology InsiderThe 2 ChatGPT Prompts to Keep Your Law Firm Visible in the AI Era2025-09-23 | Articles, Tips and Tech for Law Firms and LawyersCRA Sessions | Readily ascertainable?

이슈pick ▶진도항 일가족 참사, 홀로 살아남은 아버지의 진실은? 지난 9월 18일, 법정 안은 충격과 분노로 얼어붙었다. 판사가 피고인을 향해 공개적으로 호통을 치고, 선고문을 읽다 목이 메어 말을 잇지 못하는 이례적인 장면까지 벌어진 것이다. 사건은 지난 6월 1일 새벽, 전남 진도항에서 발생했다. 승용차 한 대가 바다로 돌진했고, 안에는 아내와 고등학생 두 아들이 타고 있었다. 세 가족은 끝내 익사했고, 운전석의 아버지 A 씨만 살아남았다. 수사 결과는 더 충격적이었다. 전날 펜션으로 가족여행을 떠난 네 가족은 즐거운 하룻밤을 보낸 뒤, A 씨는 가족들에게 ‘영양제'라 속이고 수면제를 먹인 뒤 진도항으로 차를 몰았던 것이다. 생활고를 이유로 “가족과 함께 극단적인 선택을 하려 했다”고 주장했지만, 그는 홀로 빠져나왔고 구조 요청조차 하지 않았다. 그런데도 재판 과정에서 선처를 요구하는 탄원서까지 제출해 여론의 공분을 샀다. 과연 이 비극은 가족 동반 자살이었을까, 아니면 치밀하게 계획된 가장의 살해였을까? 그리고 재판부의 최종 판결은 무엇이었을까? 에서 그날의 사건을 재구성한다. ▶대구 생후 8개월 아동학대, 13년 경력 돌보미의 민낯 대구에서 세 아이를 키우는 김 씨(가명)는 3개월 전부터 정부 지원 아이돌보미 서비스를 이용해왔다. 첫째 돌봄으로 쌍둥이 육아가 어려워 아이를 맡긴 것이다. 그런데, 지난 9월 2일! 홈캠을 켠 김 씨(가명)는 충격적인 장면을 목격했다. 아이돌보미가 생후 8개월 아기의 팔을 잡아 거칠게 끌고, 높이 들어 침대에 내던지는 등 학대 정황이 고스란히 찍힌 것이다. 그럼에도 현재 해당 돌보미에게 내려진 징계는 ‘자격정지 6개월' 뿐. 아기는 다행히 큰 외상은 없었지만, 사건 이후 불안과 트라우마에 시달리고 있으며, 아이돌보미의 13년 경력만 믿고 쌍둥이를 맡겼던 엄마는 죄책감에 시달리고 있다. 문제는 비슷한 사건이 반복되고 있다는 점이다. 올해 초, 인천에서도 한 아이돌보미가 두 살 아동의 발바닥을 효자손으로 때리고, 여러 번 손찌검했지만, 처벌은 벌금혀엥 그쳤다. 매해 수십 건씩 발생하는 아이돌보미 아동 학대. 과연 아이돌보미 교육과 관리, 그리고 아이들을 지킬 사회적 안전망은 제대로 작동하고 있는 걸까? 에서 그 실태를 짚어본다. 날 ▶불법 화약고가 된 기도터 등산을 할 때면 흔히 볼 수 있는 장면들이 있다. 촛불을 켜놓고 불상 앞에서 기도하는 사람들. 그런데, 알고 보니 산속에 있는 기도터가 불법이다?! 등산객들은 건물의 불법적인 문제도 있지만 화재의 위험성과 자연훼손도 걱정하고 있었는데. 제작진이 방문한 산속 기도터 또한 가스를 연결하는 등 생활 흔적이 가득하고, 바위 위에 건물을 증축한 모습이었다. 가장 큰 문제는 시민의 단순한 걱정이 아니라 실제로 기도터로 인해 발생한 산불들이 있다는 사실이다. 수락산에서도 마니산에서도 잊을만 하면 방방곡곡에서 들려오는 화재 소식. 이에 남양주시에서는 불암산의 불법 건축물을 대대적으로 철거한다고 한다. 하나의 산에서 발견되는 불법 건축물의 수는 얼마일까? 지금까지 철거하지 못했던 이유는 무엇일까? 산속 불법 무속 시설의 현장을 에서 취재했다. 대한민국 긴급상황 ▶경찰관 매달고 돌진. 운전자의 정체는? 늦은 밤, 음주 운전 차량이 있다는 신고를 받고 출동한 경찰! 정차를 요구했는데, 운전자는 경찰의 지시에 불응하고 도주를 이어 갔다. 잠시 후, 앞 차량에 막혀 멈춘 도주 차량. 경찰이 하차를 지시했지만 또다시 도주를 시작했다! 경찰관은 곧장 차에 매달렸고, 운전자는 경찰관을 매단 채 무려 400M를 달려나갔다. 매달렸던 경찰관은 전치 3주의 부상을 입었는데... 한밤의 아찔한 추격전! ▶프러포즈하려 훔쳤다! 교통사고 질주범 한 남성이 갓길에 정차해 있는 차량에 올라 출발했다. 차량은 좌우로 휘청거리며 달리더니, 도로 경계석을 들이받고, 급기야는 신호 대기 중이던 차량을 추돌했다! 하지만 사고 수습은 커녕 도주해버린 남성! 신고를 받고 출동한 경찰에 의해 붙잡히고 마는데... 알고 보니 이 남성, 타인의 차량을 훔쳐 질주한 것이었다. 그는 “다방에서 프로포즈를 해야 한다”는 황당한 진술을 이어갔고 차량을 훔친 이유에 대해서도 횡설수설했다. 대체, 그날 이곳에선 무슨 일이 있었던 걸까? ▶헬스장에서 쿵! 누군가 필요했다 지난달 22일, 부산의 한 헬스장에서 40대 남성이 갑자기 의식을 잃고 쓰러졌다. 하지만, 구급대원이도착하기 전, 남성은 호흡마저 잃은 상황! 생명의 불씨가 꺼져가는 긴박한 순간, 헬스트레이너와 구급대원의 긴박한 영상통화가 시작됐다. 구급대가 도착하기 전까지 간절한 심폐소생술이 이어지고... 기적적으로 남성은 의식을 회복했는데! 신고자의 신속한 판단과 영상통화 응급 지도의 힘! 골든타임을 지켜낸 그 날의 순간을 담았다. ▶새벽에 편의점을 찾은 손님, 알고 보니 늦은 새벽, 경기도 광주시의 한 편의점에 젊은 손님이 들어와 소주를 한 병 구입했다. 그런데, 소주를 들고 나간 이 청년... 편의점 앞 테이블에 서더니 갑자기 약봉지를 꺼내기 시작한다?! 수 많은 약봉지를 꺼내 모두 뜯어 약을 한데 모으는 청년! 이 모습을 CCTV로 지켜보던 편의점주는 수상함을 감지하고 곧장 경찰에 신고! 그리고 청년에게 다가가 앞을 막아서는데! 알고보니, 암으로 시한부 판정을 받아 삶을 포기하려 했다는 이 청년... 편의점주는 20분 넘게 청년의 곁을 지키며 그의 마음을 붙잡았다는데... 알고보니, 편의점주는 몇 년 전 아내를 암으로 떠나보내고 홀로 세 아이를 키우고 있는데 자녀들과 비슷한 나이의 청년을 보고, 그를 결코 외면할 수 없었던 것인데. 늦은 새벽, 한 청년을 살린 어른의 이야기. 이번 주 에서 확인해 보자. 오달청 ▶추석 대목 2주 만에 1,000세트 완판! 정육점 청년 사장! 추석에 가장 받고 싶은 선물 부동의 1위 ‘한우 선물 세트'! 남녀노소 누구나 좋아하는 한우를 최상급 상태로 선보이기 위해, 보름 전인 지금부터 땀 흘리는 사람이 있다는데. 바로 정육점 사장 김주선(37) 씨다. 15년간 정육점을 운영해 온 청년 사장은 명절 대목이면 2주 만에 1,000개가 넘는 프리미엄 한우 선물 세트를 완판한다. 그 비결은 경매부터 발골, 숙성과 제조까지 모두 직접 책임지는 정성과 까다로움에 있다. 매주 경매장에 나가 500개의 소를 직접 눈으로 보고, 마블링과 지방 상태를 확인해 1++ 한우만 선별한다. 고기를 들여온 이후에는 직접 발골과 정형을 진행하여 신선도와 품질을 유지한다. 특수 부위는 결을 살린 기술로 정성스럽게 플레이팅하고, 오랜 연구 끝에 완성한 보자기 포장으로 고급스러움을 더하면 맛과 비주얼을 모두 갖춘 프리미엄 선물 세트가 완성된다. 단골뿐만 아니라 SNS 입소문까지 타며 월 매출 1억 원을 달성하고 있다는데. 훈훈한 명절 행복 한 점을 위해 올해도 진심을 다하는 그의 정육 이야기를 만나본다. 화제 ▶시민을 위해 뛴다, 서울시의회 24시 24시 시민들을 위한 조례안을 제정하는 서울시의회! 지난 19일, 332회 서울시의회 임시회가 성공적으로 마무리됐다. 이날 접수된 안건만 222건, 이중 최종처리 안건은 198건에 이른다. 원한다면 언제나 책을 읽을 수 있는 작은 도서관부터 택배 기사, 대리기사 등 이동노동자를 위한 쉼터 역시 서울시의회의 조례를 통해 설치되고 운영된다. 시민 편의를 위해 제정된 조례부터, 시민의 안전을 위한 조례까지! 언제나 시민만을 생각하는 서울시의회의 24시를 모닝와이드에서 공개한다. - RT 8분 - 서울시의회 협찬 단신 ▶같이 살아, 더 가치 있는! 제1회 동물보호의 날 축제 사람과 동물이 함께 행복한 사회를 만들기 위해, 올해부터 10월 4일을 법정 ‘동물보호의 날'로 지정했다. 이를 기념해 부산에서는 특별한 축제가 열린다. 9월 26~27일, 벡스코에서 열리는 ‘제1회 동물보호의 날' 축제! 과연 어떤 즐거움과 의미가 준비되어 있을까? 사람과 동물이 함께 어우러지는 그 현장의 생생한 분위기를 미리 만나본다. - RT 1분 - 농림축산식품부

  Morgan Keim, Founder of Ocean Ridge Capital, knows firsthand what it means to chase success at the cost of balance. After raising over $400M for food-tech startups, Morgan realized the constant flights, pressure, and uncertainty weren't sustainable. His pivot into affordable multifamily housing became a turning point—not just for his finances, but for his family and future.   In this episode, Morgan shares his journey from the high-risk startup world to building stable, recession-resilient real estate portfolios. You'll hear how he went from a curious limited partner to running his own private equity firm, revitalizing 20+ properties since 2020.   We dig into:

Jeremy Au, Shiyan Koh, and Dmitry Levit dissect the collapse of eFishery, the breakdown of Indonesia's growth narrative, and the systemic risks that resurface in Southeast Asia's venture ecosystem. They explore how IPO failures and inequality capped consumer demand, why bad faith actors gained visibility, and how boom-era fads like embedded lending and play to earn unraveled. Their discussion highlights how funding has reset to 2016 levels, why board oversight is crucial, and where opportunities in agritech and supply chain digitization still remain. 06:07 Unicorn Religion and Reset: Dmitry explains how the belief in Southeast Asia's consumer population created artificial unicorns, attracted global capital, and birthed a generation of investors dependent on unicorn rounds. With that narrative now broken, funding has reset to 2016 levels. 14:25 Indonesia's Narratives Collapse: Once built on consumer growth and SME digitization, Indonesia's investment stories unraveled after weak IPO results and late-stage funding pullback. This led to the retreat of corporates and VCs, shrinking available capital. 20:14 Redefining the Middle Class: Dmitry critiques World Bank definitions, pointing out that Indonesia's true “digital middle class” is closer to 12–20 million spending users, not 70 million. This smaller but wealthier segment supports realistic billion-dollar outcomes. 23:24 Bad Faith Actors and Fraud: The eFishery scandal highlighted systemic risks in Indonesia's ecosystem. Dmitry frames it as long-standing misaligned incentives—founders chasing salaries or secondaries—surfacing explosively rather than new corruption. 27:18 Embedded Fintech Debate: Jeremy calls out poorly governed lending arms disguised as platform metrics. Dmitry and Shiyan counter that embedded finance, if properly structured, remains one of the most capital-efficient models in Southeast Asia. 30:35 Capital Efficiency Lessons: Dmitry shares research showing the most efficient companies in Southeast Asia were fintech enablers or platforms layering financial services. These delivered 7x–12x returns on invested capital, shaping their core investment thesis. 37:49 Profitable but Overlooked Players: Despite noise about failed IPOs, Dmitry highlights a dozen Southeast Asian companies quietly positioned for billion-dollar exits, already attracting $300–400M investments from North Asia and Latin America.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has just closed out his epic two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour and, in a move that stunned fans and shook headlines, he revealed via Instagram on July 31 that he's been privately battling Lyme disease. Rolling Stone reported Timberlake's emotional message, where he described the illness as “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” finally shining a light on the rumors swirling about his recent “lackluster” performances and noticeable fatigue on stage. As Timberlake explained to Deadline and Collider, there was a moment during the grueling tour when he considered canceling altogether, but the joy of performing drove him to push through pain and exhaustion. Fellow NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick posted heartfelt support on Instagram, applauding Justin's grit and noting how he went from “tough” to “next level strong,” powering through nerve pain night after night.Across social media, Timberlake's vulnerability about his diagnosis has sparked waves of empathy and discussion. His tour's challenges didn't go unnoticed online; videos captured at the Electric Castle festival in Romania went viral, showing Justin under a hooded parka, often letting backing tracks carry his vocals and encouraging the crowd to sing along, fueling memes and debates on TikTok and Twitter. Consequence Music reported fan disappointment but now, in light of his health revelation, there's a broader sense of understanding in the commentary. Timberlake remains unapologetically honest, telling The Hollywood Reporter that he chose openness over privacy to help others understand the toll Lyme disease can take.Businesswise, Timberlake's empire is healthier than ever, even if its namesake isn't. TheTradable confirmed his net worth has surged to the $350-400 million range, powered by his recent $100 million sale of his song catalog to Hipgnosis, ongoing royalties, and investments in fashion, streaming, and real estate, despite any temporary setbacks caused by health struggles.While some gossip points to speculation about Timberlake's future—will he headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show or pivot more to acting with the in-development Social Network sequel—these are currently rumors and unconfirmed by his camp. For now, the verified narrative centers on Justin Timberlake's resilient spirit on display after a demanding tour, his candid health updates captivating fans, and his enduring dominance across both industry headlines and social feeds.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The way docs are paid can make patients sicker...or can lead to healthier ones. The payment schemes most docs work under incentivize them to fix patients, while others motivate them to prevent illness—and geriatrician Dr. Jonathan "Nathan" Flacker is here to explain why. This episode rips the curtain off RVUs, fee-for-service traps, and the real reason your doc is rushing through your visit (hint: it's not personal, it's math). We dig into ChenMed's wild idea: what if clinics got paid to keep you out of the hospital? Turns out, when money flows toward health instead of procedures, everyone wins. Except maybe the $400M proton beam facility (for the record, we love proton beams, but you might not need them if you can avoid cancer altogether). Is concierge-style medicine only for the wealthy? What happens when you build “rich person care” for low-income seniors? And how many patients can a doc see well before it all breaks? If you're dreaming of a career where you actually help people instead of just clicking boxes—this one's a wake-up call. Also: Love calls, RVU debt, and why pajama time should be illegal.

Deep Dive: Australia has signed a $400 million-plus deal with Nauru to deport and resettle 280 non-citizens. The Government argues the offshore arrangement protects the integrity of our visa system, while critics are calling it cruel, costly, and extreme. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Greens Senator David Shoebridge about the deal, why he says it’s creating a “21st century prison colony,” and what’s really driving Australia’s immigration policy.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Steve Magami, Co-Founder and CEO of Fruitist—the fast-growing fruit brand shaking up the grocery aisle and redefining what it means to snack healthy. What started as a bold idea to treat fruit like a branded CPG product has become a billion-dollar global company, with $400M in revenue over the last year and distribution in more than 12,500 stores across the U.S.Steve shares the gritty details of what it really took to scale Fruitist—from controlling the entire supply chain to solving for flavor consistency in fresh fruit. We talk about why most people underestimate the power of brand in commoditized categories, how he built trust in an industry that historically lacked it, and why Fruitist isn't just a fruit company—it's a systems company.If you're curious how to build a breakout brand in an overlooked space, or what it takes to scale a values-driven business with real operational complexity, this conversation is full of takeaways.

(This episode originally aired on October 1, 2024.) In times of uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what's out of your control. That's why over the next few weeks we're revisiting three powerful conversations that remind us where to focus: on operational excellence, on what is within your control, and on the urgency to act now. Whether you're navigating workforce challenges, financial pressures, or strategic pivots, these episodes offer practical insights to help you retrench, refocus, and lead with clarity. In the past, we've told our listeners that the number one area of focus for health system growth is operational excellence, and a major part of that is capturing all of the revenue on the table from your medical group. Healthcare organizations have spent the last decade buying up medical groups and physicians, in part because of the “promise” of downstream referrals. It is a long-held belief that physician employment leads to higher referral integrity. But according to an Advisory Board data analysis, that doesn't hold true - just 55% of total referral revenue attributed to employed PCPs is realized in-network. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board physician experts Eliza Dailey and Colleen Wagner to unpack where referral leakage actually happens and share the real (and relatively easy) steps organizations can take to reduce referral leakage. We're here to help: Tools to reduce referral leakage in the medical group Are employed PCPs more likely to refer within their health systems? Ep. 221: How will health system growth look different in 2025 and beyond? Medical group integration 3 shifts impacting medical groups: 2024 update on the physician landscap Join 165,000+ healthcare leaders and get the industry's most important news in your inbox—every day.

John Clark is Senior Vice President of Technology and Strategic Innovation at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the legendary advanced development program behind the U-2, SR-71, F-117, and F-35. Over his 27-year career, including 25 inside Skunk Works, he has led some of the most important innovations in aerospace and defense. Chris Moran is Vice President and General Manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures, the corporate venture arm investing in breakthrough startups across AI, autonomy, advanced manufacturing, power, and propulsion to bring critical technologies into Lockheed's programs. In this episode of Defense Tech Underground, we sit down with John and Chris to explore how a century-old prime contractor sustains a culture of innovation while working alongside a new generation of defense tech startups. We cover: Skunk Works culture and the 14 rules – why they still matter today, and how Clark applied them in leading programs from the F-22 to modern autonomy efforts. Innovation with purpose – Lockheed's philosophy of tying new technology directly to warfighter needs, from AI-tuned radar to layered defense systems. Lockheed Ventures – Moran's view on “gaps and hedges,” the fund's 90+ portfolio companies, and how primes and startups can create one-plus-one-equals-three outcomes. AI and open architectures – where generative AI, advanced autonomy, and spectrum convergence are reshaping design, manufacturing, and operations. The prime paradox – responding to critics who call primes slow and risk-averse, and why, in Clark's words, “don't believe the hype—innovation happens every day inside Lockheed.” This conversation highlights how the largest defense contractor in the world is leaning into venture capital, software-hardware convergence, and cultural lessons from Skunk Works to keep pace with evolving threats while partnering with startups. This episode is hosted by Josh Pickering and Andrew Couillard. Full Bios: John Clark John Clark is Senior Vice President, Technology and Strategic Innovation at Lockheed Martin, where he leads enterprise technology strategy and investment, including companywide digital and AI initiatives.

"I was the last [athlete] in my recruiting class by my senior year," shares Asia Rawls, aka Coach Brown Bambi, reflecting on the challenges of collegiate athletics and how she stuck with it.  Rawls competed in multiple events, eventually excelling in the 400m hurdles. She ran for Eastern Michigan University (EMU) under coach Sue Parks. In this episode she shares how running changed her life, from a young age, after switching school districts and having more access to sport, all the way into getting a scholarship as a student athlete.  Now, she's the head coach at Machine Athletics (while also working FT in tech!), running with the Detroit-based running group We Run 313, and running World Majors Marathons! Tune in to hear more of her story, why she brings the world of sprinting into the world of distance running, and how running has shaped so much of her story and who she is today.

Constrafor is revolutionizing how construction companies manage their back office operations, from procurement to embedded finance. With over $400 million in funding and 75,000 companies on their platform representing 25% of US construction companies, Constrafor has processed nearly $2 billion in invoice funding. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Anwar Ghauche, CEO and Founder of Constrafor, to learn about the company's journey from addressing subcontractor payment challenges to building an invisible automation platform for construction's back office. Topics Discussed: Constrafor's origin story and the strategic decision to target general contractors first to access subcontractors The company's evolution from construction procurement platform to comprehensive back office automation Constrafor's approach to embedded finance and the Early Pay product for subcontractors The challenge of building in construction tech during COVID-19 and early customer acquisition strategies Distribution strategies that evolved from manual outreach to leveraging customer referrals The company's vision for invisible software that eliminates manual back office work for subcontractors Why construction remains a technology laggard and how margin compression affects software adoption GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Turn industry warnings into competitive advantages: When mentors warned Anwar that subcontractors were hard to reach and general contractors were poor software buyers, he reframed this as validation. "Instead of taking it as a negative and kind of changing the idea, I took it as kind of validation that this is great. Just because nobody else was really going to try to go after the space." B2B founders should consider whether widespread industry skepticism might actually signal an underserved opportunity with less competition. Build an indirect go-to-market strategy when direct sales won't scale: Rather than pursuing expensive direct sales to thousands of small subcontractors, Constrafor sold to large general contractors at low margins to access their 300-400 subcontractors at once. This created a distribution channel that would have been impossible to build through traditional sales methods. B2B founders should identify intermediaries or platforms that can provide access to their true target customers at scale. Recognize product-market fit through pattern recognition: Anwar knew they had achieved product-market fit when they reached customer number 10-12 requesting exactly the same thing. "We didn't have to kind of study this whole thing from scratch as if we were dealing with it for the first time." B2B founders should look for the moment when customer requests become predictable and solutions become repeatable rather than focusing solely on revenue metrics. Prioritize sales team development over marketing in B2B: Constrafor crossed $1 million in annual revenue before building a marketing team, instead focusing on sales team structure and product-led lead generation. "We've tried to build out the product to generate the leads as opposed to having to rely on marketing for warming up the leads." B2B founders should consider whether their resources are better invested in sales infrastructure and product virality before traditional marketing efforts. Leverage unique data assets for thought leadership: With 25% market penetration, Constrafor began providing industry insights on insurance pricing, material costs, and project pipelines. This data-driven approach to content creation established them as a trusted voice in construction. B2B founders should identify unique data they collect through their platform and use these insights to build authority rather than creating generic educational content.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Ethereum's rally has captivated the market, but is it really about the GENIUS Act and stablecoins, or just raw flows?  In this episode of Bits + Bips, Alex Kruger, Ram Ahluwalia, Steven Ehrlich, and special guest Sid Powell of Maple Finance, dive deep into what's driving ETH, the macro forces shaping crypto's next leg up, and whether traders are completely wrong about the Fed's next moves.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits.

It is nowhere near the scale of what we need to address the plans that have already been laid out by our residents, with our traffic engineers, with the coordination of the entire region.”MM: Jamie Smith at EY for writing the only other 2025 US proxy review that included a whole section on director votesPredictionsDR: Trump tries to fit into a pair of Sydney Sweeney's jeans (re: the OJ glove) to prove he did not know Epstein.

A tariff-fueled tech revolution is underway. With a $600B Apple investment, TSMC's chip plant in Arizona, and the Pentagon pouring $400M into rare earth mining, the U.S. is reclaiming its tech dominance and cutting China out of the supply chain. Trump's bold “build here or pay up” strategy has flipped the global semiconductor game—making Taiwan expendable, thwarting China's tech takeover, and setting the stage for an American manufacturing renaissance. This is next-level economic warfare—and we're winning.

“The biggest mindset coming off of Paris was that because I had made the biggest final there is, it was a message to me that no matter who's on the track, you deserve a lane. I belong here and I've proven myself. That message was definitely something that I carried into my senior year: just knowing that I belong here. That was very powerful for me.”My guest for today's episode is Savannah Sutherland, a 21 year old Canadian hurdler who just made history in more ways than one, hailing from Borden, Saskatchewan. Savannah was named a finalist for the Bowerman, which is the highest honor in NCAA track and field, awarded annually to the most outstanding collegiate athletes in the sport.She's the first Canadian female track athlete to ever reach the finalist status. I recently made an appearance on the CBC's Trackside show where I revealed that as a Bowerman voter, I already casted my vote. Savannah was ranked #1 for me.She put together a jaw-dropping season at Michigan. She didn't just win her second NCAA title in the 400m hurdles, but she obliterated the NCAA record too with a time of 52.46 seconds, becoming the second woman in NCAA history to go under 53 seconds. The record that she broke previously belonged to Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.Savannah broke her own Canadian record, climbed to the 9th fastest of all time, and last year she even took 7th place in the Olympic final in Paris.
