On the heels of Independence Day, I want to say to the millions of Americans that we fought and at least temporarily have won the greatest revolution to date in this country. A war no Founding Father could have predicted, given the technologies of today.But their forethought allowed us to see the big picture, and we won in 2016, and perhaps dealt a death blow to Leftism in 2024.Understand that the Declaration of Independence didn't give us our independence but confirmed that we already had it…I saw a meme on July 4: The Earth is 4.5B years old and you get to be alive during the Trump presidency!We are getting our country back.But that won't stop the naysayers. No matter how great the news. You would think that if we get legitimate good news, we should all celebrate.

In this episode, I reflect on a whirlwind three-day visit to China - my first in over 20 years. And what I saw was remarkable. The infrastructure puts most of the West to shame. The AI isn't just hype - it's working at serious scale. And the electric vehicles? They're about to steamroll the global auto industry. Here's what really struck me during my whirlwind trip to Beijing and beyond.In this episode you'll hear:Infrastructure built at speed: Beijing's immaculate airport, 300 km/h rail to Tianjin for £17, and pristine expressways that put US infrastructure to shame.Verticalised AI in action: While Chinese labs trail US frontier models and face compute constraints, they're excelling in verticals - profitable robotaxis in Wuhan, healthcare AI analyzing 5.5 billion medical records, and Squirrel AI's $200m education platform that outperforms China's best human teachers.EV cost leadership is set: Chinese electric vehicles are absolutely remarkable. Years of vicious domestic competition have created incredible innovation and cost discipline that will hit European carmakers like a sledgehammer.The air quality transformation: Beijing at 37°C was clean enough for a morning run, thanks to widespread EV adoption.Scale that defies comprehension: Convention centers 100 times the size of Union Square, cities of 20 million people, and AI platforms serving tens of millions of users.Our new showThis was originally recorded for “Friday with Azeem Azhar”, a new show that takes place every Friday at 9am PT and 12pm ET.

In February this year BP announced it was cutting its investment in green energy ventures from $5B to $2B while reallocating $10B to fossil fuels, and abandoning its 2030 oil output reduction target. Shell has also scrapped its planned 20% carbon reduction cut for 2030. It's not a good display of intent from the perspective of the energy transition. In a highly volatile and uncertain policy environment it's troubling for investors and clean energy developers. The prioritisation of short-term profit at the expense of long-term climate impact has many implications.To find out, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by private investor Ben Dell, Managing Partner at Kimmeridge. He says that while “everyone wants low-cost energy on demand with a minimal carbon footprint, every dollar invested has to be cost-competitive. Philanthropy is not an investing strategy.” What does that mean in the context of clean energy deployment?Plus, Wood Mac analyst Tom Ellacott joins the show to look at the outlook for oil and gas in light of the news from the majors. As he sees it, gas is a growth fuel for the next 20 - 30 years and the most optimal power delivery system is still renewables paired with small-scale batteries and natural gas. So why are major energy providers flip-flopping with their strategies when this is widely accepted?The key questions are: how are oil and gas majors adjusting their capital allocation between fossil fuels and renewables? What's the role of natural gas in the transition? And how should investors navigate volatility and uncertainty in energy markets? You'll get the answers here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Don and Tom tear into the lunacy of financial predictions—starting with famed doomsayer Nouriel Roubini suddenly turning optimistic (is that a good sign or a terrifying one?). Then it's onto Ron Baron and his wildly volatile, high-fee Barron Partners Fund, which beat the QQQ—barely—by taking massive concentrated bets on Tesla and SpaceX. Finally, they answer listener questions about portfolio diversification, international exposure, and outrageously overpriced 401(k) fund options (Nationwide, we're looking at you).

In this week's episode of The Refresh, Kait unpacks a surprisingly calm post-Cannes news cycle, headlined by the FTC's conditional green light of the $13.5 billion Omnicom-IPG merger. She also breaks down the continuing slide in CTV CPMs despite a booming supply of inventory, and confronts the ongoing issue of harassment at the Cannes Lions festival, spotlighting industry efforts, shortcomings, and calls for real accountability. 5 Key Highlights: Omnicom-IPG Merger Approved (with Conditions): The FTC conditionally approved the $13.5B merger via a consent decree that prohibits coordinated ad boycotts based on political or ideological views. The approval remains subject to a 30-day public comment period and ongoing international regulatory review. CTV CPMs Drop Sharply: CTV ad prices are down 10–30% year-over-year due to a surge in inventory, performance-driven buying, and broader programmatic access. Industry insiders expect a pricing divide between mass reach and outcome-driven premium inventory. CTV's Full-Funnel Evolution: Despite price drops, CTV is moving beyond awareness into full-funnel performance territory, supported by clean room integrations, data partnerships, and sharper buying strategies. Cannes Harassment Issues Persist: Despite new safety measures like safe zones and panic buttons, reports of harassment at Cannes continue. Industry voices are pushing for broader, more systemic change and ongoing dialogue. Industry Speaks Out: Public figures like Brian O'Kelley, Mike Brooks, and Emily Roberts have helped spotlight Cannes' darker undercurrents. Emily Roberts launched a petition for reform, urging the industry to prioritize safety and accountability beyond LinkedIn posts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1080: Today we're talking about winners - how Roger Penske was honored with the Automotive News Centennial Award, how 14 states have won back $5B in EV charging funs and how Meta and Anthropic both won copyright lawsuits.Show Notes with links:Auto and racing icon Roger Penske received the Automotive News Centennial Award, and shows no signs of slowing down despite being 88. He reflected on six decades of building a business empire by putting people first.He credits a coin from his father inscribed “Effort equals results” as a lifelong guiding principle.Penske said focusing on people over products is key, calling it the “secret sauce” behind building an organization with 74,000 employees.Nearly all leadership growth at Penske is internal—95% of management moves are promotions.He raised concerns over the future of the dealer franchise model, warning that direct-to-consumer shifts could undermine the system if not addressed individually.He described Elon Musk as a great industry disrupter saying ““Musk came in here and did an amazing job. He turned the industry on its head.””A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from axing billions in EV charging funds to 14 states, ruling that the states are likely to win their case.The Biden-era $5B EV charger program was frozen in February, with state plans rescinded.Judge Tana Lin ruled that withholding the funds likely violated federal law, harming states that invested in infrastructure expecting federal support.The injunction gives the Trump administration seven days to appeal.Two federal judges delivered back-to-back wins for AI developers this week, siding with Anthropic and Meta in copyright lawsuits brought by authors. While both rulings support “fair use” in AI training, the door remains open for future legal challenges.In the Anthropic case, Judge Alsup ruled the company could legally train AI on physical books it bought and digitized, calling it “transformative — spectacularly so.”He drew the line at pirated content, saying a separate trial will determine damages for “millions” of unauthorized books stored by Anthropic.Meta also secured a summary judgment, with Judge Chhabria stating that plaintiffs “made the wrong arguments” — not that Meta's actions were fully lawful.The judges dismissed claims that AI models like Claude and LLaMA meaningfully harm book markets or replicate texts at scale.Judge Alsup added: “The Authors' complaint is no different than if they complained that training schoolchildren to write well would result in an explosion of competing works.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What if the retail apocalypse was just bad PR? In this episode of REady2Scale, we dive into the misunderstood world of retail and mixed-use real estate with Babak Ziai, founder of BrandView Inc. With over $2.5B in transactions and decades of experience transforming overlooked properties, Babak offers a grounded, data-informed perspective on where the real opportunities lie in today's evolving retail landscape. If you've ever written off retail as yesterday's asset class, this conversation may change your mind. Key Takeaways: - Retail is not one thing: Babak breaks down the diverse categories of retail such as malls, grocery-anchored centers, and street retail, and explains why each responds differently to market forces. - Why e-commerce didn't kill retail: Retail isn't disappearing; it is evolving into a service and experience-based model where human interaction, wellness, and dining are central. - What makes mixed-use properties work: Learn how thoughtful integration of secondary uses like office or residential around retail can create stronger, more resilient assets. - How to revitalize overlooked assets: Babak shares his “rent roll 2.0” strategy and explains what types of tenants and experiences drive long-term NOI growth in challenging markets. - Real-world operations insight: From activating vacant space with pop-ups to building trust with tenants, hear how hands-on property management can become a competitive advantage. - Misconceptions investors still have: Babak reflects on why retail remains misunderstood and where sophisticated investors are finding opportunities that others miss. Whether you are active in commercial real estate or simply curious about what's next for physical retail, this episode offers a thoughtful and nuanced look at an asset class that is far from obsolete.

Today we had the very exciting and interesting opportunity to visit with Jim Grech, President and CEO of Peabody. Jim was appointed as CEO in June 2021 and brings more than 30 years of experience across the coal and natural resources space. His career includes leadership roles as CEO of Wolverine Fuels, President of Nexus Gas Transmission, EVP and CCO of CONSOL Energy, and Vice President of DTE Energy. Peabody, founded in 1883, is one of the leading coal producers in the U.S., operating 17 surface and underground mines across the U.S. and Australia. We were thrilled to hear Jim's perspective on the evolving role of coal in both the U.S. and global energy markets. In our conversation, Jim shares background on his decision to join Peabody during a period of financial and market uncertainty and outlines the company's progress in recent years, including repayment of $1.5B in secured debt, reinstatement of a dividend and stock buyback program, and reinvestment in U.S. and Australian assets. We discuss how to motivate a coal workforce amid global anti-coal sentiment, Peabody's asset footprint, the strategic importance of the Powder River Basin (PRB) and the untapped potential to export PRB coal to Asia, the advantages of U.S. coal relative to coal in other parts of the world, and the vast abundance of U.S. coal, with U.S. coal reserves containing more energy than any other nation holds in any single energy resource. We explore the distinctions between thermal and metallurgical coal, global coal demand and outlook, the longevity of coal infrastructure with new plants expected to operate for 30-50 years, the improved environmental footprint of modern coal plants and outdated misconceptions, coal's role in poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nations, and the push to codify U.S. regulatory changes into legislation for permanence beyond changing administrations. Jim shares his perspective on coal's role in grid stability and delivering lower, more stable electricity prices, state-level legislative trends supporting reliability requirements for coal plants, the current status and underutilization of the U.S. coal fleet, and renewed interest from industrial users and datacenters seeking long-term, dependable power sources. We examine investor trends including the emerging investor focus on international coal markets, international market dynamics and growth opportunities across metallurgical and thermal coal, and much more. We close by asking Jim for his top takeaway, and he highlights the importance of being open-minded about coal's net benefits, particularly regarding its role in global energy access, industrial development, and improving standards of living. It was our pleasure to host Jim and we greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that bond, commodity and equity markets have largely roundtripped to their June 12th closing levels (prior to the Israeli strike on Iran). From a bond market perspective, the 10-year bond yield (~4.3%) has essentially roundtripped and traders are now focused on upcoming economic data. In crude markets, WTI spiked to a high of ~$78.50/bbl on Monday following the U.S. strike over the weekend of Iranian nuclear sites, but has since pulled back to ~$65/bbl amid reports of a “proposed” Iranian/Israeli ceasefire, which is ~$3/bbl lower than June 12th price levels and ~$5/bbl above June trading lows. From an Energy equity standpoint, Energy has also roundtripped and is now trading modestly below (~2%) June 12th levels as energy investors begin refocusing their attention on the 2H'25/1H'26 global oil surplus. From a broader market standpoint, the S&P 500 is now ~0.5% higher than June 12th levels and within 1% of all-time highs. Broader markets are now in the process of transitioning away from Mideast conflict back towards U.S. domestic policy. Mike concluded by noting that investors are beginning to refocus on the odds of Trump'

Being the biggest leader in your industry sector doesn't guarantee the future anymore. These days it can be quite the opposite, as we continue to witness big-dog leaders being dethroned by the next generation of agile tech-enabled competitors.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show we have a sit down with Wayne Levings, a CEO, Chief Client Officer, and Executive Committee Member at Kantar, to learn from one of the biggest reboots of our decade.For Kantar, the struggle over the last decade has been real, as they have been through multiple reboots, adapting to the global power shifts in the market. The first reboot came with a mandate to breakup some of the pieces and spinout the company from the WPP Mothership through a partnership with Bain Capital. Now on their own, Kantar is a $3.5B marketing data and analytics powerhouse with 25,000 employees operating in 100 countries. With massive backing from Bain they have an opportunity to invest in next-gen areas, like AI and automation, and seize what's next. But it won't be easy to fight back and disrupt the disruptive disruptors.Watch or listen as we unpack this exciting reboot in progress, as they search for the perfect balance of AI and human-driven data—with a sneak peek into the future in this frothy hyper-competitive market being disrupted by AI.

India will see 100 tech IPOs by 2030. While Silicon Valley still waits for $5B+ exits, Indian founders are going public earlier - at $600 million. Why? Because market receptivity has fundamentally shifted. The buyers want this asset class. On the #ZeroToInfinity podcast, Avnish Bajaj and Rajinder Balaraman define what it actually takes to go public in India today. Through the lens of four distinct IPO waves, the duo traces how market expectations have evolved — from the early public-market pioneers, to the pricing missteps of 2021, and into a new phase where predictability and return on capital lead the way. The team argues that IPOs are no longer about valuation peaks but about narrative control, access to permanent capital, and owning the category early. For founders, that means shifting how companies are built, instead of chasing scale at any cost to designing for profitability, pricing discipline, and long-term market trust from the outset. This conversation unpacks the why, when, where, how of IPOs and the thresholds that separate companies that list from those that last. The team reframes the “To IPO or not to IPO” debate into a first-principles question for founders: Are you building with the intent to go public? India may be heading toward its own Nasdaq moment -  the first 100 tech companies that go public will reshape how founders raise, grow, and exit.  See why India's IPO math has permanently changed and what it means to be IPO-ready in India only on the latest episode of the Z47 podcast.

In this week's “we told you so” edition, we kick things off with the latest AI faceplant—go ahead, Google “Is it 2025?” and try not to spit coffee on your keyboard. Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg's brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix's Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who greenlit Love Is Blind.But wait, crypto bros are having their own John Wick arc: a luxury townhouse, a missing wallet, and possibly an NYPD detective tangled in a real-life “crypto millionaire torture” flick. As if that isn't enough, Trump Media is fundraising to buy $2.5B in Bitcoin—and DJT stock promptly nosedived. Also feuding this week: Marjorie Taylor Greene vs. Grok, because nothing screams Christian values like rageposting at Elon's AI. And speaking of Elon, he's now in bed with Telegram to the tune of $300 million, which we're sure won't be a disinformation factory.MEDIA CANDY is stacked: from the Murderbot diaries to a My Dinner with Andre rewatch, and yes, the Wheel of Time got axed after 3 seasons. Apps? Opera Neon is a UI fever dream, Starling Home Hub adds more smarts to your house, and WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad—welcome to 2016.

And if you're hitting the library, grab The AI Con or something more romantic—like Love, Sex and the Alien Apocalypse.

There are a lot of great ideas for products and brands out there, but sometimes the difference between success and failure lies in getting the details right and understanding the customers and users of your product. Today we're going to talk about growing a brand by focusing on the details that matter. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Dominic Minogue, CEO of Dirty Water, the world's first session hard seltzer, and a brand that started in New York City and has quickly grown well beyond, with some phenomenal and awards to match. About Dominic MinogueDominic Minogue is the founder and CEO of Dirty Water, the world's first session hard seltzer that's making the beverage industry dangerously refreshing. Dubbed “The Dive Bar Hard Seltzer," Dirty Water offers a crushable experience that's not too sweet and not too carbonated with 4.5% ABV, 0 sugar, 0 carbs and only 90 calories. As a lover of light beer and hard seltzer, Dom wanted to create a beverage that encapsulated the best of both while leaving the rest behind. A great light beer is unobtrusive, crisp and smooth with no frills and no worries about what to get because it's the same every time. A great hard seltzer offers a healthier choice with less calories, carbs and sugar along with no gluten, however the fruity flavors almost always present a scenario of digging around to avoid an unfavorable flavor or two. In comes Dirty Water - born a hard seltzer, but identifies as a light beer. One flavor, not too sweet, not too carbonated and just perfect for any occasion. Prior to launching Dirty Water in 2024, Dom held various positions within the mobile gaming industry that also centered around the values of community and connection. Most recently, he was VP of Game Operations at Rewardify, a mobile games app that rewards players for their love of the game through cash prizes, where he standardized the company's cash-economy and developed publishing models. He also led product marketing for Applovin's Lion Studios where he achieved 2.5B downloads worldwide, tested over 1000 games and brought 30+ games to #1 on iOS and Android stores. In addition, Dom is a food enthusiast and creator with 180K+ followers on TikTok at @dommelier where he gives quick recipes and how-to's for preparing different cuisines from around the world.

Trump Defends Biden, Blames “Board of Directors” for Border Crisis – In a viral post, President Trump says Joe Biden wasn't behind open borders—his cognitive decline left key decisions to unelected handlers, including Jill and Hunter Biden. New details from a Jake Tapper book and medical insiders back up claims of hidden dementia and cancer diagnoses during Biden's presidency. House Republicans now plan oversight hearings on what they call “the fraud presidency.” Wind for Gas Deal: Trump Trades Turbines for Pipelines – Trump strikes a deal with New York's Governor Hochul: a $5B wind farm off Long Island moves forward in exchange for greenlighting a long-blocked natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania. Critics call it a “dirty green deal,” but Trump allies say it's smart leverage to restore energy reliability. “Golden Dome” Missile Shield Unveiled – Trump formally launches a national missile defense initiative to stop hypersonic threats from China and Russia. The plan combines space-based sensors and interceptors, potentially costing hundreds of billions—unless satellites are leased from Elon Musk. FDA Shifts Course on COVID Shots – Healthy Americans under 65 no longer need routine COVID boosters, the FDA says. Critics say the change came too late and still doesn't address obesity, which remains a top risk factor. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is expected to soon launch a “Take Back Your Health” national campaign. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32
