Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! Today, we discuss the utter CHAOS that was the AFCON final between Senegal and Morocco. Disallowed goals, controversial penalties, players leaving the pitch, a missed panenka, fights over towels and so much more went down in Senegal's 1-0 victory. We go to England next to break down the latest in Josh Sargent's transfer saga with Norwich City, both Haji Wright and Patrick Agyemang finding the back of the yet, and the potential of a Ricardo Pepi Premier League move. In #AskAlexi, we have a voicemail asking if the USL's move to a pro/rel system will have a bigger impact than MLS changing its season calendar. Finally, in One for the Road, Alexi reacts to the rumors that Sporting Kansas City will be sold for $700M.

Reality Denied: Biology, Border Chaos & the Billion-Dollar Fraud Pipeline

  Ep 242 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara unpack a major policy shift in regenerative agriculture, a heartwarming (and delicious) NFL story, and the wildest winter sport you've probably seen but never knew the name of. From Secretary Brooke Rollins' $700 million regenerative ag pilot program to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen gifting his offensive line quarters of premium Wagyu beef, this episode covers the intersection of agriculture, policy, and pop culture in the most entertaining way possible. But that's not all! The hosts dive into skijoring's new professional circuit (yes, horses pulling skiers through obstacle courses is now a legit sport with a $250K prize pool), celebrate whole milk's long-awaited return to school cafeterias, and explore the fascinating world of pearl farming after a viral video blew their minds. Plus, they share behind-the-scenes stories from their Discover on the Road oyster episode and why they're now oyster snobs for life. It's policy, sports, luxury gems, and dairy wins all in one action-packed episode. What We Discovered This Week

ICE agents in Minnesota shot a Venezuelan man after he attacked and assaulted officers. A woman was pulled from her vehicle by ICE agents after she obstructed ICE operations. ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good reportedly suffered internal bleeding after being attacked. Somali fraudsters reportedly sent $700M overseas out of Minnesota. A DR refused to say that men can't get pregnant in testimony in front of the Senate.    Join UNGOVERNED on LFA TV every MONDAY - FRIDAY from 10am to 11am EASTERN!    www.FarashMedia.com www.LFATV.us www.OFPFarms.com www.SLNT.com/SHAWN 

While riots, protests, and chaos dominate the headlines, an even bigger story is being deliberately buried.

Overnight, the political conflict escalated into what looks and feels like a guerrilla war on U.S. soil. Federal agents are shot at in Portland, ICE is told to stand down, and shocking new data reveals hundreds of millions of dollars in cash leaving America through one airport. From armed encounters with alleged foreign gang members to governors invoking Civil War imagery, this episode exposes the money, power, and ideology driving today's chaos—and why history may be repeating itself. ⚠️

A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi This week, the global sustainability landscape delivered a swirl of conflicting signals — bold progress in some regions, dramatic rollbacks in others, and powerful reminders that our environmental challenges are deeply interconnected. In this solo episode, or "solocast," Corinna unpacks five major developments shaping the future of climate action, environmental justice, and regenerative systems worldwide. From a landmark U.S. court ruling in support of offshore wind, to the UN's latest warning about our interwoven planetary crises, to troubling policy back-steps in Australia and Europe, and finally, a promising regenerative agriculture initiative here in the United States. This episode explores what these stories mean when viewed not as separate headlines, but as parts of a bigger, systemic whole. We are living in a moment of climate contradiction. Together, these global events reveal a world choosing dramatically different pathways: one extractive, one regenerative. Which one becomes our shared future depends on the choices we make today. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why a U.S. federal judge's ruling on offshore wind is a quiet but powerful climate victory How the UN is reframing climate, biodiversity loss, pollution, and land degradation as one interconnected crisis What motivated Queensland, Australia, to scrap its renewable energy targets and extend coal until 2049 Why the EU is considering easing environmental rules for AI data centers and gigafactories How the USDA's new $700M regenerative agriculture pilot could reshape American farming and rural economies What these decisions reveal about the diverging worldviews shaping global climate policy How systems thinking can help us make sense of this geopolitical climate whiplash Referenced News Stories U.S. Offshore Wind Ruling (AP News):https://apnews.com/article/a8c2f1201ac6b0607e8c4a1c36e651ba UN Interconnected Crisis Report (AP News):https://apnews.com/article/584715f6fd7ed32a8cf993120ef2a8aa Queensland Renewable Rollback (The Australian):https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/renewable-energy-economy/queensland-governments-scrapped-renewable-energy-target-outrages-environmental-groups/news-story/5c9a08f778461c425e8fdb3972f15ef2 EU Considering Environmental Exemptions (The Guardian):https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/10/eu-proposes-exempting-ai-gigafactories-from-environmental-assessments USDA Regenerative Agriculture Pilot (USDA Press Release):https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/12/10/usda-launches-new-regenerative-pilot-program-lower-farmer-production-costs-and-advance-maha-agenda Next Week on Care More Be Better — A New Solocast This episode sets the stage for a deeper exploration of global divergence in climate leadership.In next week's solocast, Corinna zooms out to examine why nations are moving in such different directions — and what opportunities exist for regenerative leadership amid uncertainty and political turbulence.

Professional sports franchises are some of the most recognizable brands on earth, yet many operate with negative annual cash flows. This deep dive moves past the scoreboard to explore the "Billion-Dollar Paradox": how trophies worth billions can lose money on paper while their valuations double every decade.The Pillars of Team RevenueModern sports finance has moved far beyond ticket sales and hot dogs. Today, revenue is driven by long-term, stable engines:Media & Broadcast Rights: The "stability engine" of sports. Leagues like the NFL have secured over $100 billion in media deals with giants like Amazon and ESPN. These deals provide a guaranteed income floor that supports high valuations regardless of on-field performance.Stadium Economics & Premium Seating: The real differentiator is controlling the "premium experience." Teams like the Dallas Cowboys generate over $600 million annually through high-margin luxury suites, club access, and naming rights deals (e.g., the $700M crypto.com Arena deal).The Real Estate Play: Sophisticated owners now build "entertainment districts" around stadiums. The Atlanta Braves' development, The Battery, actually generates more operating profit than the baseball team itself due to steady rental income and higher margins.The Financial Drains: Why Teams "Lose" MoneyDespite massive revenue, the high cost of competitiveness creates a brutal balance sheet:The Cost of Winning: Player salaries typically account for 50% to 60% of total revenue. This is a gargantuan fixed cost compared to other industries.The Luxury Tax: Leagues use this penalty to discourage runaway spending. Teams like the Golden State Warriors have paid hundreds of millions in penalties just to keep a championship-caliber roster together, viewed as an investment in long-term brand equity.Infrastructure Debt: Modern stadiums cost between $1B and $5B. These are financed with massive debt packages tied to future media revenue, making interest payments a significant recurring cost.Valuation vs. ProfitabilityIn sports, traditional metrics like EBITDA are often useless because they are volatile or negative. Instead, finance teams use:Revenue Multiples: Valuing a team based on total annual revenue divided by the sale price. Because revenue (from media) is predictable and growing, this provides a more stable anchor for billionaires and private equity firms.Asset Appreciation: Owners view teams like fine art or exclusive real estate. The scarcity of franchises (fixed supply) combined with rising global demand drives valuations up even when the income statement is in the red.Case Studies: Strategy on the SpreadsheetFC Barcelona: A cautionary tale of brand strength failing to protect a team from a "debt trap" caused by rigid player contracts and heavy infrastructure loans.Phoenix Suns: A textbook turnaround showing how modernizing ticketing analytics and stadium monetization can skyrocket a team's valuation before a single game is won.Oakland Athletics (Las Vegas Relocation): A pure infrastructure strategy—abandoning a money-losing venue for a new stadium they control in a high-tourism market.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Scott Lurie, a Milwaukee-based investor, developer, lender, and syndicator who has scaled from single-family flips to $700M+ in AUM. Scott explains how discipline, conservative leverage, and a long-term mindset helped him not only survive but aggressively buy through the Great Recession—including a 410-unit acquisition for $9K per door. He shares why he focuses on value-add industrial and multifamily development today, how he underwrites and syndicates vacant industrial buildings, and why transparency and investor trust are more important than ever in 2025. Scott also breaks down his syndication philosophy, the pitfalls created by “cowboy” operators, and his belief that real estate success comes from 20 years of consistent, disciplined work.

Bullet Point Summary of the Podcast Episode New Obesity Measurement Data (Harvard/Mass General Study) Harvard and Mass General propose adding waist circumference to BMI to better diagnose obesity. Traditional BMI misses key factors like muscle mass and body composition. Using the updated measure, Americans classified as obese jumps from ~43% to almost 69%. This means 7 out of 10 U.S. adults would now qualify as having the disease of obesity. Dave notes this validates many people who “feel” metabolically unwell despite a “normal” BMI. Reinforces his claim that “most people should be talking to their doctors about GLP-1s.” New Oral Triple Agonist (Ascletis – ASC41/ASC? Molecule) From Ascletis (A-S-C-L-E-T-I-S), developing an oral triple agonist targeting: GLP-1 GIP Glucagon Similar in mechanism to retatrutide, expected around 2027. Preclinical (animal) data show stunning results: Oral bioavailability of 4.2% 9× higher than tirzepatide 30× higher than oral semaglutide 6× higher than oral retatrutide 57× greater drug exposure than oral retatrutide Half-life ~56 hours Stronger receptor activation than retatrutide in vitro Suggests potential for the first powerful oral triple agonist—worth watching. ️ 3. Discussion of the Gray Market / TikTok Experience Dave briefly recounts losing his TikTok account and landing in an algorithm filled with teenagers promoting gray-market “retatrutide.” Expresses concern over unregulated peptide sales, especially to minors. Fractal Health's New Data – Weight Maintenance After Stopping GLP-1s New results from the Reveal One study (Fractal Health). Participants: lost 24% of body weight on GLP-1s → stopped injections → got one Revita procedure. At 6 months post-GLP-1 discontinuation: Weight changed only 1.5% (vs. ~10% regain in typical off-drug trials) HbA1c barely shifted Safety profile clean Suggests possible long-term weight maintenance without injections through gut mucosal re-lining. Dave describes his own recent attempt to switch drugs and significant hunger return. Food Noise & Biologic Hunger Dave discusses how stopping Mounjaro caused terrifying, primal hunger. Describes the distinction between: Food noise (brain-based thoughts) Hunger signals (biological/animalistic) Reinforces why many patients cannot maintain weight loss without support. Zepbound (Tirzepatide) Cash-Pay Price Reductions Eli Lilly drops cash-pay vial pricing: 2.5 mg: $349 → $299 5 mg: $499 → $399 7.5–15 mg: $499 → $449 Community feedback (informal poll): Most say still too high to leave compounded versions. Many would switch to branded if price hit $200–$300. Dave notes the Most Favored Nations agreement will push GLP-1 prices toward $250/month within 24 months. Alzheimer's Study (Novo Nordisk – EVOKE & EVOKE+) Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus, 14 mg) did not slow Alzheimer's clinical progression. Biomarkers improved but daily function and cognitive decline did not improve vs placebo. Important context: Oral Rybelsus is a weak form of semaglutide; stronger versions (like Wegovy 2.4 mg or upcoming high-dose oral Wegovy) not tested. Weight loss is not desirable in Alzheimer's patients, influencing drug selection. Dave emphasizes: This was a nearly $700M trial and an act of scientific courage. This is NOT the end of GLP-1 Alzheimer's research. Future molecules may target neurological pathways without suppressing appetite. Mentions Lilly's brenipatide, a GIP receptor agonist being developed for: Addiction Opioid dependency Possibly asthma ️ 8. Access, Cost, and Patient Empowerment Highlights Shed as a partner offering telehealth GLP-1 access. Notes many patients hide GLP-1 use from their primary care doctors. Reinforces OTP's mission: better, more honest conversations with clinicians. Shapa (Numberless Scale) & Dave's Personal Update Dave explains how the Shapa numberless scale helped him stay engaged during weight fluctuations. Finds stepping on “zones” (green/gray/blue) less emotionally damaging than numbers. Closing Notes Promises upcoming Eli Lilly savings card update. Encourages subscribing, liking, and enabling notifications for algorithm visibility. Thanks OTP community for amplifying patient-centric obesity medicine news.

Vera Wang is synonymous with bridal. The designer's eponymous brand brings in a whopping $700M a year. But before launching her own company in 1990, Vera was rejected for editor-in-chief at Vogue. And before that, she didn't make the cut for the U.S. Olympic figure skating team. Two major setbacks that left her thinking – now what? Then her dad proposed a crazy idea. Hosted on Acast.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer sits down with three leaders reshaping one of healthcare's most overlooked — yet mission-critical — functions: provider credentialing. Credentialing is the quiet infrastructure of trust in healthcare. When it's done right, patients get timely access to high-quality care, providers get paid faster, and health plans stay compliant. When it fails, backlogs grow, compliance risk skyrockets, provider satisfaction plummets, and member access suffers. Joining Eric for this discussion: Sandra Clarke, Former CFO & COO, Blue Shield of California Brett Dooies, Head of Product, Verifiable Janan Dave, VP of Operations, Verifiable Together, they explore how AI and automation are transforming credentialing from a slow, manual compliance task into a strategic capability that improves efficiency, trust, and network readiness. In this episode, you'll learn: Why credentialing sits at the intersection of compliance, provider experience, and member access How legacy processes, staffing limits, and messy data create hidden risk, and why backlogs can grow like quicksand Practical ways health plans are applying AI to reduce verification time, speed onboarding, and triage high-risk cases Why the most successful plans treat credentialing as infrastructure, not paperwork Key metrics to track when modernizing credentialing, including turnaround time, backlog clearance, audit readiness, and provider experience What to automate first,  and why humans still play a critical oversight role Bright Spots include: 97% automated verification in seconds across millions of records monthly New staffing and automation models that increase speed without compromising compliance Real-world examples where AI prevented risk exposure and accelerated network growth Leadership lessons in adopting AI responsibly and avoiding the "lift-and-shift" trap   This conversation offers payer leaders a real-world playbook to modernize credentialing and strengthen the foundation of your healthcare organization. Panelist Bios: Sandra Clarke is a healthcare executive and board advisor with over 25 years of experience leading finance, operations, and large-scale transformation across payer, provider, and life sciences organizations. As former CFO and COO of Blue Shield of California, she oversaw $25B in annual revenue and spearheaded initiatives delivering $700M in annualized savings while reimagining the company's pharmacy care model. Clarke has also held senior leadership roles at Daiichi Sankyo and Philips Healthcare and serves on multiple healthcare boards. She holds degrees from MIT, Bentley University, and Seton Hall University School of Law. Janan Dave is the VP of Operations at Verifiable, a start-up offering software and services solutions for healthcare organizations to ease the challenges surrounding provider network management. Janan has a background in public health and health policy, and has spent the last decade helping scale operations at various healthcare startups. She is passionate about building smart solutions to reduce waste in the healthcare system, and promote better care especially for the aging population, family caregivers, and women. Janan studied public health at the University of Pennsylvania, and lives in Brooklyn, NY. Brett Dooies is the Head of Product at Verifiable, where he leads the development of AI-powered solutions to simplify healthcare credentialing and monitoring. With a decade of experience building enterprise software, he specializes in applying advanced AI and analytics to enhance the customer experience and deliver transformative solutions. Drawing on his background in modernizing banking software, Brett is dedicated to creating products that drive operational excellence, uphold regulatory compliance, and improve data accuracy for Verifiable's partners, helping them scale with confidence in a complex ecosystem. Resources: MIT Sloan "Internet of AI Agents: State of AI in Business 2025" report finds that although over 80 % of organizations have piloted generative AI tools, only around 5 % have achieved meaningful business transformation—a gap dubbed the "GenAI Divide". It highlights that the primary barrier isn't model technology or regulation, but rather the failure of AI systems to integrate deeply into workflows, learn from feedback, and scale beyond the pilot stage. https://mlq.ai/media/quarterly_decks/v0.1_State_of_AI_in_Business_2025_Report.pdf Thank you to our Episode Partner, Verifiable: Verifiable is a credentialing and network monitoring platform built to help healthcare organizations optimize operations with error-free, fast verifications and to stay compliant with ease.

Norm Hitzges grabs a bat, a calculator, and a fainting couch to process Shohei Ohtani's “are-you-kidding-me” clincher: six scoreless with 10 punchouts and three moonshots to broom Milwaukee and send the Dodgers to the Fall Classic. Greatest single game by any pro ballplayer… ever? Norm makes the case—with tape-measure receipts, history comps, and a reminder why the Dodgers cut a $700M check without blinking. Then it's why L.A.'s rotation is a cheat code (Snell? Glasnow? Yamamoto? …Ohtani?), how they steamrolled the league's big winners, and why Toronto should keep the champagne on ice. Come for the stats; stay for the gentle sarcasm and the sound of baseball writers rewriting their “best ever” lists in real time.Chapters00:00 - “Today I'm Just Wondering: Can One Game Break Baseball?”00:22 - Sponsor Pit Stop: Fluent Financial keeps the lights on01:27 - The Case Opens: Was this the greatest game by a single player?02:11 - Shohei the Pitcher: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 10 K—no notes03:01 - Shohei the Destroyer: Homer… homer… homer03:59 - Tape-Measure Theater: 446', 469', 427'—ballistics report04:54 - The Résumé Flex: Back-to-back MVP, league leads, and laughter at “overpaid”06:10 - Why L.A.'s Terrifying: Name an ace—any ace06:57 - Bracket Body Count: Brewers, Phils, Yankees—good night and good luck07:42 - Why the Dodgers Are Heavy Favorites (and why Vegas isn't nuts)08:24 - Bob's Steak & Chop House Intermission (because ribeyes beat analytics)09:38 - Balm Break & Closing Credits: Norm signs off, Ohtani still ridiculous

Ep 226 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping agriculture, policy, and culture — with their usual dose of snark and sincerity. First up: The raw meat trend taking over social media. From carnivore to completely raw, influencers are eating uncooked steak, liver, and butter straight from the stick. The hosts explore why ex-vegans are leading this movement and what it says about our relationship with extreme diets and social media virality. Then, Cracker Barrel's $700 million rebrand disaster that wiped out Uncle Herschel and the iconic barrel — only to reverse course within days after massive backlash. Natalie and Tara unpack why nostalgia branding matters more than ever and how one comedian's take perfectly captured what went wrong. Next, CAT Construction nails viral marketing with their Taylor Swift engagement post, proving that sometimes the best brand moments come from jumping into cultural conversations at exactly the right time. Plus, the agricultural connections hiding in plain sight behind celebrity moments. And finally, California's almond industry faces an unexpected enemy: rats.

What if the couch you buy today becomes Grandma's favorite 25 years from now? That's the audacious, sticky magic of Lovesac. In this episode, we break down how Shawn D. Nelson built Lovesac from a rogue college bean bag experiment into a publicly traded furniture beast…powered by patented modular “Sactionals” and a stubborn “Designed for Life” ethos that refuses to compromise.  No hype, just wild startup pivots, million-dollar plot twists, and the kind of lessons you only learn when everything nearly burns down.   Here's what you'll learn: ✅ How a giant foam sack stitched in a college apartment turned into a $700M+ public company ✅ Why a million-dollar reality show win (and a brush with Richard Branson) changed Lovesac's trajectory ✅ How Sactionals went from quirky prototype to the best-selling sectional couch in America ✅ Why “Designed for Life” isn't just a slogan;  it's a war cry against disposable culture ✅ What it really takes to survive chapter 11, bad leases, and product reinvention ✅ Why resilience is what separates real founders from everyone else   Who is Shawn?  Shawn D. Nelson is the guy who turned a bean bag into a $700M+ modular furniture brand. He's gone bankrupt, built factories in Mexico, won a million bucks on a reality show, and now runs Lovesac, the company behind the cult-classic Sactional. Also hosts the Let Me Save You 25 Years podcast, where he spills more hard-earned business scars.  

Cracker Barrel spent $700 million on a rebrand… and within a week, they had to run back to their old logo. Designers, this isn't just a logo fail, it's a brand disaster! It proves how dangerous it is when companies confuse modernization with progress.Here's the part that should sting: most graphic designers would have made the exact same mistake. Why? Because too many of us still think rebrands are about logos, not the bigger story brands are built on.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down exactly what went wrong with Cracker Barrel's rebrand and the lessons every designer needs to hear.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Cracker Barrel's rebrand backlash proves logos aren't the problem — branding isThe 10 WORST times to update an old logo (and how to avoid the same mistake)How to tell if your rebrand should be an evolution… not a full-blown identity crisisThis isn't about Cracker Barrel, it's about you. Because if you think “design” alone is enough, you're already on the wrong side of branding.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?
