In this episode of Permission to Shine, I sit down with Tracy Tutor, powerhouse real estate broker, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star, and one of the most confident negotiators in the game.  We dive deep into:

AI agent startup /dev/agents announced a massive $56M seed round, putting the company's valuation at a whopping $500 million. The amount is impressive given the company won't have a first version of its product available until at least early next year. The reason behind investors' trust, however, becomes a bit clearer when you consider the founders' pedigree:  /dev/agents' co-founders were both on Google's Android team during the early days of the smartphone era. The round, as well as whether or not to include “slash” when pronouncing the company's name, was the first of many deals discussed on today's episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast.  Listen to the full episode to hear hosts Margaux MacColl, Devin Coldewey and Anthony Ha dig into: How Yurts plans to become the DoD's go-to AI integration platform and compete with AI chatbot the Pentagon is developing itself. Why ServiceTitan's IPO keeps getting weirder and if it's a sign of IPOs to come.  The latest wave of VC turnover, including Brian Singerman's choice to step back from Founders Fund and Sriram Krishnan's departure from a16z, and where they're going next. The crew was left wondering if we'll see other investors following in Krishnan's footsteps.  Strange AI. Who is David Mayer? And why does ChatGPT hate him so much?

NDRC, Ireland's national startup accelerator, and an initiative of the Department of, Environment Climate and Communications (DECC), is celebrating three years of building a thriving startup ecosystem across the country. They have announced a 2-year contract extension to continue supporting entrepreneurs and their ambition to make Ireland the best place in Europe to build a startup company. NDRC operates through a network of innovative startup hubs, including Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, PorterShed in Galway, RDI Hub in Kerry, and Republic of Work in Cork. These hubs serve as connectors, bringing together various stakeholders across the startup ecosystem to support and nurture founders. The founder-first, entrepreneur-led focus woven throughout programmes has led to over €56M being raised by startups who participated in the programmes over the last 3 years alone, and €180M by the entire NDRC portfolio during the same period, resulting in 650 jobs created, and thousands of individuals supported via educational aspects. Accelerator startups raised over €35M where examples include IP monitoring software GreyScout (€3.5M), cyber startup Cytidel (€1.35M), and Examfly (€1.5M). In three years, €21M was raised by Pre-Accelerator alumni. Notable examples of this early-stage success include Galway-based ByoWave - a video game controller for gamers with disabilities (€2.4M), and Tipperary-based trio Zerve ($3.8M). Dee Lyons, a Limerick native and Founder of ExamFly remarked, "We found the support incredible. The focus and accountability have meant that within 6 months, we went from an early-stage startup with some initial validation to an investor-ready business with a strategy and long-term vision." Lyons was selected for the 2022 NDRC Accelerator and secured €1.5M investment one year later. NDRC has enjoyed huge support from over 100 founders & operators as mentors who have built or exited companies worth a combined net value of €5Bn including Mark Cummins (sold Pointy to Google for over $100m), Bobby Healy (Former CTO of CarTrawler, valued at over €500M), Áine Kerr (Led Storyful through €18m acquisition), Pat Phelan (Co-Founder SISU, sold Trustev for $40 million), and Jules Coleman (sold Hassle.com for €35m). Entrepreneurs countrywide enjoyed support and often exclusive mentoring from a range of multinational companies including Open.AI, Google, Stripe, Fidelity, ESB, Microsoft, and Unilever. For example, Open.AI provided €25k credits to a unique NDRC Hackathon in partnership with the ISE course at the University of Limerick. Ian Browne, NDRC MD for the past 2 years commented on NDRC's impact on startups, "In a period of momentous change in both the macro and micro environment, we've continued to instil this 'founder-first' mentality, adapting to startups' real-time needs, and delivering programmes, which are entrepreneur-led and reflect growing startup trends - whether that's new topics like Deeptech and Generative AI, or the introducing one of Europe's first SAFE instruments on 'founder-friendly' investment terms to Irish startups." Mary Rodgers, CEO at PorterShed, a regional hub partner said, "NDRC has extended PorterShed's role regionally, offering high-quality early-stage supports to more tech startups in the West and North West. In the PorterShed first 5 years of operation, we've helped create 835 high-value sustainable jobs (KPMG validated).

It's a quick one this week since Kevin is all alone and there is no one to tell him his ideas are foolish. The episode kicks off with the first ever full on sales pitch, with Kevin having fallen in love with his Backbone for iPhone (you can buy one here, even if you use Android: https://www.playbackbone.com ) Of course he bought it so he could spend more time gaming so that leads into his quick review of Starfield, now out on PC and XBox (and his iPhone using his Backbone. Just sayin'...). He's pretty hooked on the game and would definitely love for you to check it out, too! To close out the gaming bit of his unsupervised episode, he also covers the trailer for the new Fallout series coming to Prime in 2024. Next up, Kevin sticks with games, but of the reality variety rather than the video variety. He and his kids have been watching The Squid Game Challenge on Netflix, a real life (non-lethal) version of the popular Netflix show. Guests compete for a whopping $4.56M grand prize in a show that has been quite entertaining for both Kevin and his kids. After that, Kevin discusses the show Jury Duty on the free Amazon Prime service, Freevee. It's a show about a fake reality show, except one guy doesn't know it's fake. Ronald Gladded has volunteered to participate in a documentary about jury duty, not knowing that the judge, trial, and every single person involved is an actor. James Marsden, of X-Men and Sonic the Hedgehog fame, plays a narcissistic caricature of himself in a very interesting show. The show finishes with a brief review of Bodies, a multi-decade spanning murder mystery on Netflix, and then a bit of a rundown on some streaming content releasing later this month.

NBA free agency is barely 48 hours in the books, and the Lakers have managed to tie up more or less all of the loose ends facing them when the period began. The 1a priority was retaining Austin Reaves and 1b was retaining D'Angelo Russell, and by lunchtime on the west coast, both were in the bag. Russell is reportedly returning on a two-year deal worth $37M, with a player option for the second season. A fair deal that offers flexibility on both sides, and should allow Russell to settle into a comfort zone where he can bounce back from a Western Conference Finals that left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. As for Reaves, it was never a question of whether he'd be back, but at what price, as the Lakers and Team Reaves waited to see if another franchise called the Lakers' messaging of a willingness to match any offer for the restricted free agent. As it turned out, things just got wrapped up posthaste. Four years, $56M, with a player option for the last season. Assuming Reaves continues to improve - or even just maintains status quo - that's a straight up bargain, folks.From there, the Lakers added big man Jaxson Hayes on a two-year, veteran's minimum deal, with a player option for the second season. The youngster has a lot of athleticism and hops, and showed flashes in New Orleans, but has been marred by tons of inconsistency. Hopefully, Phil Handy, Darvin Ham, LeBron James and the Lakers' general culture can unlock the best in Hayes, because unless another big man is brought on board at a vet min who outplays him, Hayes will need to hold down the important position of "backup center/dude who fills in during Anthony Davis' inevitable absences."All that said, two days of nice work for Rob Pelinka, who has the team, at minimum, in as good of a place as where they left off after the WCF loss.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

According to Michael Gapen, Bank of America's chief economist, the US economy will likely face a mild recession later this year, but the risk of a severe economic downturn appears low as of now. A correction of labor-market imbalances is needed to bring inflation back down to the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and that typically looks like a mild recession. With risks receding, stress in the banking sector stabilizing, and macroeconomic trends looking good, Gapen said the Fed faces a tough decision regarding interest rates and investors can't completely rule out the possibility of another hike.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news and determine the effect it will have on the economy as a whole.They discuss a report from the Labor Department, indicating that initial filings for unemployment benefits totaled a seasonally adjusted 261,000 for the week ended June 3, an increase of 28,000 from the upwardly revised level of the previous period.Chris and Saied look at data from Realtor.com with the National Association of Realtors, showing that the popular 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovered in the high-6% range in May. At that level, buyers with an annual income of $100,000, slightly above the national median, could afford a house with a maximum price of about $341,000, however just 39% of the homes for sale were listed at or below that price point in May.They also offer some thoughts on a new real estate transfer tax in Los Angeles, that was supposed to give the city an average of $56 million a month in its first year. However, in its first month, the Measure ULA tax took in $3.6 million. For transactions closing in April, the city received the revenue from five deals that were subject to the new tax.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:Why growth is often used as a metaphor of prosperity.Why a credit crunch has already begun in the commercial office real estate.Why Larry Summers thinks the Fed has made a huge mistake, and why that's wrong.And so much more...Resources:"The US will face a mild recession, but the risk of a 'hard landing' is currently low, Bank of America's chief economist says" (Business Insider)"Jobless claims increase more than expected to their highest since October 2021" (CNBC)"U.S. consumer-credit growth accelerates in April to fastest pace in five months" (MarketWatch)"The shortage of houses is hitting some people and areas harder than others" (CNBC)"The “mansion tax” was supposed to bring in $56M monthly.

Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men's and women's reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. Please check out Dr. Swan's new book, "Count Down" - How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race By Shanna Swan, PhD, with Stacey Colino OUT NOW! Here is a link to the new study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36377... In this video we explore how endocrine disruptors, in everyday things we use, are altering our hormones and reproductive systems. We've seen a massive decline in testosterone, fertility and other markers. Could this explain some of the social changes as well? 0:00 - New Findings 3:44 - What's causing this? 11:11 - Anogenital Distance 15:52 - Where does this all lead? 17:46 - Population Decline 25:40 - Addiction to plastic 29:07 - LGBTQ & Endocrine Disruptors 36:08 - What to do if you want kids 39:06 - Future research One important thing to note - products that don't contain phthalates and Bisphenol are more expensive. Services, like assisted reproduction, can only be accessed by those who can afford it. The ability to have a baby has become something of a class issue as well.

Swan In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an urgent, “disturbing, empowering, and essential” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing—and endangering—human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale, from renowned epidemiologist Shanna Swan. In 2017, author Shanna Swan and her team of researchers completed a major study. They found that over the past four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries have dropped by more than 50 percent. They came to this conclusion after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men. The result sent shockwaves around the globe—but the story didn't end there. It turns out our sexual development is changing in broader ways, for both men and women and even other species, and that the modern world is on pace to become an infertile one. How and why could this happen? What is hijacking our fertility and our health? Count Down unpacks these questions, revealing what Swan and other researchers have learned about how both lifestyle and chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual development—potentially including the increase in gender fluidity—and general health as a species. Engagingly explaining the science and repercussions of these worldwide threats and providing simple and practical guidelines for effectively avoiding chemical goods (from water bottles to shaving cream) both as individuals and societies, Count Down is “staggering in its findings” (Erin Brockovich, The Guardian) and “will serve as an awakening” (The New York Times Book Review).   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Entrepreneurship ETG Might Be Better Than 80k Thought, published by Ben West on December 29, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary In 2014, Ryan Carey estimated that YCombinator-backed startup founders averaged $2.5M/year I repeat his analysis, and find that this number is now substantially higher: $3.8-9.9M/year When this amount is discounted by 12%/year (average S&P 500 returns) this falls to $1.9-4.3M/y, and with a 20%/year discount (a number I've heard for returns to community building) it falls to $1.1-2.9M/y. Note that these numbers include illiquid (pre-exit) valuations. Major Results 0% discount$3.77M/y$8.17M/y12% discount$1.98M/y$4.28M/y20% discount$1.34M/y$2.90M/y Discount All companies Excluding post-2019 Average founder income under different discount rates. “All companies” includes in the denominator every company incubated by YCombinator; “excluding post-2019” excludes companies incubated after 2019 (which presumably are less likely to make it to the list of top YCombinator companies by valuation, and therefore arguably should be excluded from consideration). Weighted Per Year 0% discount$4.56M/y$9.87M/y12% discount$1.84M/y$3.98M/y20% discount$1.06M/y$2.30M/y Discount All companies Excluding post-2019 This table is the same as the above except it e.g. counts a company which has been around for 4 years twice as much as one which has been around for 2 years. I.e. this table is the expected value of a founder-year, whereas the previous table is the expected annual value of founding a company. I'm not sure which is more intuitive. Commentary Background: See this 80k article for the basic case behind considering entrepreneurship for earning to give reasons. These numbers seem fairly high, and may indicate that earning to give through entrepreneurship is a good path for those who have solid personal fit (with the usual caveats about only pursuing ethical startup careers; see also my analysis of YCombinator fraud rates). With a 20% annual discount the numbers are not that far off from what I've heard as higher-end estimates of the value of direct work, and I expect that there is a fairly strong correlation between being at the higher end of entrepreneurship returns and being at the higher end of direct work, so this doesn't seem like that strong of an argument for entrepreneurship over direct work. My impression is that these numbers are roughly similar to average quantitative finance income, so I'm not sure there's much of an argument for one over the other based on this data (from an income perspective). Note that the vast majority of founders who apply to YCombinator are rejected, and this is not considered in these estimates. Appendix A: Methods and Data Note: if you know Python, reading the Jupyter notebook might be easier than following this document. Methods Used this list of YCombinator top companies and tried to find public information about their most recent valuation. Importantly, note that this is including pre-exit valuations. For publicly traded companies, I used their market capitalization at the time of writing (rather than when they IPO'd). I used an estimate of 2.3 people per founding team and average equity ownership of 35% from the original 80 K article. These numbers could probably use an update. The discount was calculated using a straightforward geometric discount, i.e. receiving $N in Y years with discount rate d has a net present value of (1-d)^Y N. I assume that everything not on that list is valued at zero. This is obviously an underestimate; but I think it's not too far off: I estimate the value of the company at the bottom of the list (Karbon Card) at $60M If the 1,788 companies started after 2019 who are not in this list were all valued at $60M, this would increase the total valuation by $107B = 19.5% This is a very conse...

The San Francisco Giants' spending is always a hot topic around these parts every offseason. That conversation may be louder than ever before this winter, with the SF Giants coming off a very disappointing 81-81 record after they won 107 games in 2021. The fanbase is restless, the payroll has been stagnant, and there are stars available for the Giants to sign, if only they were willing to do so.Understanding where the Giants stand from a payroll perspective is important if we wish to predict what they will be able to spend this offseason. The Giants have relatively few commitments to 2023 salaries. They owe $73 million to eight players, not including the $22.5M Carlos Rodón will undoubtedly opt out of. That also includes the $5M buyout on the Giants' $13M club option over Evan Longoria. The SF Giants' arbitration estimates, per MLB Trade Rumors, are for $33.3M going to 13 players. The Giants will have the power to negotiate these salaries, and they are not committed to paying any of them if they'd prefer to non-tender any arbitration-eligible player.Add it all up, and the San Francisco Giants are looking at roughly $106 million going to 21 players. This does not include any pre-arbitration estimates for the Giants. And again, they can non-tender any arbitration-eligible player and won't be obligated to pay a dime. But this is a good rough starting point. And what it means for the Giants, in terms of offseason spending, is that they'd have about $56M to spend on 2023 salaries just to get back to their extremely modest range of about $162M, where they've been each of the last few years. So you could essentially sign a couple of $30M per year players and still come in with a very modest payroll. Hopefully the Giants increase payroll this year, but they're starting from a very flexible position and a big offseason for the Giants is more than possible.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

nonprofit news for the last week of March 2022.   Russia Ukraine War Galvanizes Large-Scale Global Giving According to survey research reported by The NonProfit Times, approximately one quarter of Americans said they've donated to charities addressing the war in Ukraine. Nearly two-thirds of the remaining Americans surveyed say they planned to donate soon. While grassroots giving continues to drive momentum, alternate forms of giving are soaring. An NFT of the Ukrainian Flag launched by a member of the band Pussy Riot raised $6.75 million for the country, in a sale organized by Ukraine DAO. Corporations and companies are donating too, even Fortnite video game creator Epic Games will donate all in-game transactions directly to United Nations relief efforts.

We've got some news about the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and how that's leading to global giving at unprecedented scale as well as big acquisition in the crypto donation sector. So how we doing Nick?  [00:00:22] I'm doing well, George, how are you? [00:00:24] Doing all right today, another busy week of news.  [00:00:27] Absolutely our first story this week, of course, we will be returning to the war in Ukraine and we wanted to report out some interesting trends that we're seeing as reported by. The nonprofit times, approximately one quarter of Americans said that they have donated to charities addressing the war in Ukraine. [00:00:50] We talk a lot on this podcast about surge in attention. It seems that in this case, a surge in attention is being sustained and leading to really high volumes of giving. Not only at the grassroots individual donor level, the. But also an alternate and more broad forms of giving as well. An NFT of the Ukrainian flag launched by a member of the band pussy riot raised $6.5 million for the country in a sale. [00:01:22] Corporations and companies are donating to, I thought this was really cool. Fortnite video game creator, epic games will donate all in game transactions directly to the United nations over the next couple weeks. And to me, what this is showing is that this isn't that spike that we see. That often a accompanies global events like Afghanistan. [00:01:46] We saw that lasted really only a week. The outpouring of support and awareness. This is sustained and not only are individual donors giving, but at the institutional, the corporate level, this is an all hands on deck effort to provide support to Ukraine. George, I wonder. What this is telling us about fundraising as a hold right now as we witness this war and essentially large scale global giving. [00:02:17] You're seeing a lot of different sectors step up, which is why we were just picking some of these different industries. You're talking about games you're talking about crypto and then traditional giving as well. That once in a generation type of land war has evoked. [00:02:31] I wanna touch on that sort of question about the trend, right? So you said with Afghanistan or with a natural disaster, you're talking about the natural half life, which is measured in weeks, not months in terms of how long compassion can and hold. A global focus for giving. [00:02:48] and response. [00:02:50] And it's dangerous because compassion is an unstable emotion. It is something that people pay attention to burns brightly and briefly. The faster, the rise, the faster, the fall, what I'm starting to see, believe it or not though, in things like Google transfer search incidents is that, that decline from initial peak interest from when the war first began, I concern is that as this drags potentially into what some military experts are talking about as a stalemate, it will cease to, to garner that type of reaction. [00:03:22] And. Immediately they were talking about in that article things around helping refugees, medical supplies, and then less so on the rebuilding. Let's just be clear. There's just going to be rubble more rubble than city left in a lot of these situations requiring a lot of ongoing support. [00:03:39] Hopefully the trend in search isn't indicative of what may or may not be coming in terms of ongoing support that will be needed to rebuild that country. When this conflict inevitably finds its end.  [00:03:52] Yeah, George, I think that's a great point. And one of the more interesting facets the various forms of giving that we highlighted was epic games. The creator of Fortnite, one of the most popular games in the world, donating all in game transactions to the United nations one. That's true, tremendous from the giving perspective, but also. [00:04:13] From an awareness perspective, think about how many kids and how many different countries are playing that game are now aware of a refugee crisis. And I wonder, are there ways we can build on that for other refugee crisis, other humanitarian crisis? Can this represent the beginning of. A shift in how corporations engage with global events and crises that need attention and outpouring support. [00:04:42] I don't know if this is a one-off or this is a sustained change. But to me that's a really interesting model. Being able to focus attention on a humanitarian event in this way is really interesting to see. So I'm sure that we'll follow this  [00:04:59] Yeah it's tracking the classic attention spike that we normally see for a large global scaled natural disasters. But this is a again, once in a generation moment. So it's hard to say what is actually being learned outside of the fact that. If your organization is adjacent, communication narratives are very important as it's as it's part of how people are probably choosing to give right now and make those decisions.  [00:05:26] Yeah, we'll talk about this in another story as well, but particularly for other organizations, I think what could be interesting is thinking about how to use the crisis and use in Ukraine and uses is the wrong word, but. Use this opportunity of increasing heightened attention to call attention to other crises, other refugee situations in Afghanistan, there are still Afghan refugees coming to the United States that local NGOs are directly supporting. [00:05:57] And while everyone's talking about refugees, I wonder if we, you can call attention to other crises that are happening as well. So definitely something we'll keep an eye on. [00:06:07] All right, I'll take us into our next story. And this is about crypto donation platform, the giving block, joining forces with payment processing company shift four. So in a press release. Provided by the giving block this week, they announced the biggest crypto philanthropy campaign in series and history. [00:06:28] So the giving block is a crypto donation platform service company, and they are teaming up with this payment processing company shipped for shift four, excuse me. And they'll be offer. Crypto philanthropy options to nearly 200,000 of shift fours, merchants. And there's also millions of dollars in Don donation matching pools that in some ways, this has the potential to really change the game when it comes to crypto philanthropy with lots of merchants involved and huge ability to reach different customers. [00:07:03] Full disclosure. The giving block is a client of whole whale, the publisher of this newsletter, but George, this could represent a really big moment in the world of crypto philanthropy. What are your thoughts on this? [00:07:16] I'm really excited about this. And as you mentioned they're a client and this? [00:07:20] is a a pretty big purchase showing that there is a lot of growth to come and opportunity there in crypto philanthropy and helping giving block become and cement themselves as the leader in terms of solutions there. [00:07:33] I was also excited that shift for CEO Jared eman. We'll match 10 million in crypto, which is just awesome and donations on the giving block. So it's also a nice level boost to to encourage that giving  [00:07:45] Absolutely. You'd love to see matching when it comes to when it becomes millions of dollars. That's lots of impact. That's exciting. All right. Shall we dive into the summary? [00:07:55] Let's get to it.  [00:07:56] All right. Our first story comes from Politico and this is about a liberal donor by the Swiss born billionaire, Hans York, vice. And I apologize cuz I know I mispronounce that, but this billionaire sent 31 million to the 1630 fund, which is a. Quote unquote, dark money fund on the left political action fund. [00:08:25] That spent approximately 56 million in 2020. So we talk a lot about money moving around via nonprofits on this podcast. And this is just another example of. Quite frankly, the scale of money churning through various organizations and how it impacts our politics. And I don't have a specific take on this, but whenever a story pops up in our feed and it starts talking about 20, 30, $50 million it gets our attention. [00:08:58] And I think it again, brings to the forefront. Lots of conversations about just the amount of money sloshing around. In American politics on whether or not this is healthy. [00:09:08] Yeah. According to that nine 90, the 1630 fund has become massive growing from what it used to be. If. You million of dollars in revenue a year in the last decade to 400 million in the final year of the Trump presidency. I think that's not insignificant going to, to something of that size and scope.  [00:09:30] Absolutely. That's a lot of money. And I think that, I think it's time that we have renewed conversations about campaign finance and lots of these organizations, which quite frankly are not household names. And how they're influencing elections, politics, ballot measures, that sort of thing, a across the whole spectrum, the whole ideological political spectrum as well. [00:09:53] It happens on both sides. So an interesting conversation. And a story will follow going into this year. Of course, the 2022 midterms, which should be another record spending year for midterms, but something will continue to track. [00:10:08] All right, I'll take us into our next story. And this comes from the new humanitarian. This is a source that we've not yet featured on the podcast, but one that does really good, critical analysis of the humanitarian and international NGO sector. They provide lots of really interesting analysis and opinions. [00:10:26] Often with the perspective of trying to improve the humanitarian industry as a whole, but they have this article called beyond Ukraine, eight more humanitarian disasters that demand your attention. And it does a really good job of highlighting different crises. Across the world beyond Ukraine, it talks about crisis in the horn of Africa, talks about the number of millions of peoples being impacted there. [00:10:55] Me on Mar. Which unfortunately just saw a coup and just yesterday, secretary of state, Tony blink, officially called what was happening in Myanmar a genocide. It takes a long time for governments to get to that distinction because genocide actually has legal requirements, not requirements to say, but it has legal parameters. [00:11:14] And I wanted to just surface this article because I think it offers really. Interesting perspectives on how we respond to humanitarian crises. And right now the crisis in Ukraine is nothing short of extreme and requires all the attention. But I think at the same time, there are lots of other crises that. [00:11:32] Also require attention and for nonprofits, I think this can be an interesting moment of heightened attention when people are especially in tune to refugee crises, for example, to acknowledge that there are other ongoing refugee crises around the world in Myanmar, in Afghanistan. Lots of different places. [00:11:54] So Georgia, I wonder what your perspective is on this kind of analysis and using this moment to bring other crises to the forefront as well. [00:12:02] Hopefully the infrastructure that is currently being built up to support the millions. Of displaced people and refugees from Ukraine, that type of infrastructure and support will hopefully include the ability and capacity for these organizations and institutions to take on refugees from other areas. [00:12:25] And it's especially important to note. And I'm glad you included this, that when there is a sort of massive focus a world. Attention grabbing event, as we were just talking about, it sucks, the oxygen out. It sucks. The the attention which money follows quite closely from other areas. So all things being equal, it is probably a very bad time. [00:12:46] It's always a bad time to be a refugee, to be somebody in a place of conflict in crisis. But especially when there is a larger one overshadowing, it it's easy to miss. Unfortunately other people, regions and communities in need.  [00:13:02] Absolut. I think that is a great point. And to your point about infrastructure, I think what you're seeing is a lot of organizations that are able to respond to the crisis in Ukraine have been building infrastructure for quite a while. Ukraine has been fighting a war for quite a while. Doctors with borders has been operating there for quite a while and have in so many other places. [00:13:25] So it's really tremendous to see NGOs and nonprofits. When they have that on the ground infrastructure, they're ready to go. When the crisis happens, they're the first responders there. So building capacity, not just in Eastern Europe, but all over the world is vitally important. [00:13:42] All right. Our next story is about a organization called free will. They are a social good enterprise. That quote is at the nexus of philanthropy and a estate planning and quote, and they have announced it is raised. 30 million in series B funding led by ban capital double impact. The takeaway from this is you have an organization that is supporting estate planning and planned giving that has just gotten injected with a ton of money and funding to hopefully help nonprofits. [00:14:19] And other charities increase their ability to process and accept planned giving as a vehicle for fundraising and George. We were talking right before the podcast about why this is so important at this moment. And I'd love to hear your thoughts. [00:14:34] Yeah, free will is a pretty elegant tool I'd say for creating will and we're entering into the largest wealth transfer in human history. If you're talking about the boomer generation passing on their wealth and life's assets to the following generation and it's it can be A's topic to talk about it's not about death. [00:14:56] It's about. Legacy. And it's about an opportunity, frankly, for a lot of nonprofits to include the potential question in ways of bringing up big quests for the organization, we had a previous podcast with with an expert on that topic that will include in the show notes as well.  [00:15:12] Absolutely. That's a great perspective. All right. Our next story comes from my CBS four.com local CBS four news affiliate out of Florida. And the title of this story is paint at the pump. Gas prices impact north central, Florida nonprofit, and the story delves into how nonprofit organization children's table, which provides food and other services to underserved folks in their community is really struggling because of rising food costs and gas costs. [00:15:47] They move lots of physical goods across the state food and whatnot, and. They have big vans, big truck type things. And when gas prices go up, they start to feel it. So we just wanted to, I think, highlight this story and show that these kind of macro economic issues, gas prices, food prices, inflation, not entirely separate. [00:16:09] Unfortunately the global events you've been discussing this has real impact for nonprofits and just acknowledging that and the story here. [00:16:16] We saw a lot of these stories. I just happened to throw a dart at you north central Florida. But this story is certainly popping up on a lot of locals. Anybody who is. Bringing resources that last mile to underserved in resource communities is dealing with very direct cost at the pump type of pieces that don't necessarily quickly translate into increased revenue. [00:16:40] Right? There's no sort of, Hey, sorry We delivered this meal for you. It's gonna cost extra actually. No this is done by the volunteers were doing this out of pocket to provide this service. So it's pretty tough to I think. Impact a lot of nonprofits, locally, local community based organizations that are doing this. [00:16:56] Also I just did a quick look up on that last topic about planned giving. Our friend is Tony martini planned giving accelerator.com. Just to give him a little plug here, planned giving accelerator.com. Look, he's helping folks do these planned giving programs and walks your fundraisers through to avoid the common mistakes and demystify itself. [00:17:16] Shout out there for a resource. [00:17:18] We love a good shout out. Thank you for sharing. All right, George, we don't have a feel good today, but instead we're going to bring up an opinion piece and this comes courtesy of tablet magazine, and the title is called. What happens when a buffet buys your town? George, I know you have thoughts. What, what stuck out to you about this? [00:17:38] There's a lot that stuck out to this and it's just wonderfully written first off, just wonderfully written from tablet magazine, and they just do such a brilliant in depth. Look at what happens when Peter buffet one of the children of Warren buffet is running the Novo foundation. [00:17:56] With his wife and they had a particular history of giving to certain causes related to women and African American and bipo communities. And then suddenly they just an about face completely just saying, all right, we're done with this? [00:18:11] type of grant making we're instead going to focus all of our time, attention and wealth on. [00:18:16] A community in Kingston, New York, and have just gone about rearchitecting the town by writing giant checks, underwriting, various things, creating their own local, like community currency and this type of utopia, borderline potential dis opiate, if potentially, I don't know, say the opinions of a billionaire change. [00:18:39] I think this is not meant to just throw stones at the Noah foundation or this particular piece, but to abstract more broadly into macro narratives of what happens when you have independently wealthy individuals guiding this much in terms of resource is in philanthropic communities. [00:18:57] And sometimes the damage that can be done when. Priorities shift on a whim and we've causes that are trying to build for decades long solutions virtually overnight. And it is a cautionary tale to both the people that work, run and support and are probably more important. Certainly reliant maybe on some of these types of philanthropic gifts from. [00:19:22] Independently wealthy family foundations like this it's worth a read and it's very well written.  [00:19:28] Absolutely. I think you bring up so many questions and this article does a great job of bringing them up as well. Absolutely worth a read in the nonprofit news feed, which you can subscribe to not@nonprofitnewsfeed.com. George. That's it for the podcast  [00:19:45] Thanks, Nick.  [00:19:46] thanks, George.

Zoom Video (ZM) earnings indicated $1.36 in EPS and $1.02B in revenue, beating estimates. CFRA's Keith Snyder says that they currently have a hold rating on the stock with a $350 price target. They expect the company to look into expansion of adjacent markets as competitors like Microsoft and Cisco already have a large existing client base and strong tie-ins with other products. Ark Invest's CEO, Cathie Wood, recently bought $56M worth of Zoom Video shares on the dip. What is the general outlook on the company and how will the stock perform?
