Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).

On this episode of Gov Tech Today, hosts Russell Lowery and Jennifer Saha step back from day-to-day procurement details to examine what California's public data reveals about technology spending trends. Jen shares analysis comparing FY 2024–25 to 2025–26 across major contract vehicles, finding a sharp decline in IT services: about $3.8B down to $2.59B, nearly a 30% drop, with notable decreases in interagency agreements (down roughly 50%), formal competitive bids, and non-competitive bids. At the same time, IT goods spending is steadier and slightly up—from about $2.3B to $2.7B—suggesting continued purchases of software, hardware, and cloud while agencies reduce reliance on long-term vendor-managed services. They discuss policy changes enabling implementation services through the Software Licensing Program and consider political pressures, budget constraints, and potential pent-up demand ahead of the next administration. 00:00 Show Intro 00:14 Why Spend Is Down 02:28 Services Spending Drop 05:07 Interagency Declines 06:33 Competitive Bid Slowdown 09:09 SLP Services Surge 11:49 Goods Mostly Flat 13:51 What Counts As Goods 16:26 Big Picture Outlook 19:21 Wrap Up And Contact

Stripe buys OpenRouter for billions, which naturally raises the question: did Stripe just buy critical AI infrastructure, or a very expensive router with great distribution? The original squad is back to debate why $7B acquisitions somehow feel normal now, whether Google already has agentic commerce won by owning your inbox, calendar, and Drive, and why Anthropic vs. OpenAI might be less about who has the best model and more about who built the right company. Sam makes the case that OpenAI pulled off the “greatest fundraising story in history,” Dave argues Grokbot might officially make AI a three-player race, and everyone tries to figure out how you price any of these companies when no lead seems to last. Plus, is AI a great investment or just a great trade, does the data center backlash actually have anything to do with data centers, have we built trillions of dollars of infrastructure before finding enough use cases for it, and, naturally in pop corner, Josh Kushner bought into the Lakers.Chapters:0:00 Episode trailer1:00 Episode start4:00 This week in AI5:00 Stripe buys OpenRouter8:30 Is OpenRouter actually worth billions?11:00 The agentic commerce bet14:00 Why Google could own the AI assistant17:30 The DOJ investigates Andreessen Horowitz22:00 Anthropic vs. OpenAI26:00 Why OpenAI is struggling in enterprise28:30 Can anyone actually price AI companies?30:00 OpenAI's “greatest fundraising story in history”33:30 Is AI a great investment or just a great trade?36:00 SpaceX, Moderna and narrative capitalism37:30 Grok enters the AI race41:00 AI makes software increasingly disposable45:00 The AI data center backlash47:30 “The backlash is that AI sucks”48:30 Did we build too much AI infrastructure?53:30 Josh Kushner, Thrive and the Lakers55:30 Travis Kelce enters the NIL businessWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTube: https://youtu.be/Xwzl-Ihyyr0Connect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast takes us to the heart of London, where we sat down with Maggie Fanari, the CEO of J Rothschild Capital Management Limited, manager of RIT Capital Partners plc. RIT blends a rich heritage with a modern approach to both asset allocation and private markets. Lord Jacob Rothschild founded Rothschild Investment Trust in 1971. RIT listed on the London Stock Exchange with total assets of £280M. Today, the firm stands tall as one of the UK's largest investment trusts with over £4.7B of total assets.The firm's permanent capital and family office heritage have enabled the firm to think long-term, according to Maggie. “Permanent capital is a privilege,” she said.Maggie has brought an institutional allocator's background to RIT. She joined as CEO of RIT from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in 2024, where she was Senior Managing Director, Global Group Head of High Conviction Equities at OTPP, which has a global mandate to invest in public and private companies.Maggie and I had a fascinating discussion about how the firm invests across public and private markets, balancing both top-down portfolio construction and bottom-up asset selection. We covered:How RIT has aimed to compound wealth over time.Why top-down portfolio construction and bottom-up asset allocation are equally important.How can investors capture as much growth, limit market volatility, and compound growth over a long period of time?How RIT finds unique and different managers in private markets, which includes some of the top investors in the world.What market structure changes mean for investing across public and private markets?How to invest when the world order has changed.Taking a family office mindset and applying that investment mindset for investors in RIT.Why permanent capital is a privilege.How to be early to a theme rather than chase the trend.Why RIT decided to invest in SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks, and Epic Systems.Where do investors bucket RIT into their asset allocation?What is a manager's edge and how can they apply that edge with consistency?Why depth of network matters for private markets managers.Why RIT invested in firms like Thrive, Greenoaks, and Ribbit.BioMaggie Fanari is the CEO of J. Rothschild Capital Management Limited (JRCM) , investment manager for RIT Capital Partners plc. She is Chair of JRCM's Investment Committee.Maggie was previously Senior Managing Director, Global Group Head of High Conviction Equities at Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which has a global mandate to invest in public and private companies.At Ontario Teachers', she served as a member of many of the pension plan's investment committees. She was involved in the execution of investments across a variety of asset classes (private and public), including supporting the development and execution of the venture and growth business.Before joining Ontario Teachers', Maggie worked at KPMG and Scotia Capital.

This week Michael, Liam, and Brian make the case that stalled legislation on top of the Coldcard fallout, BIP-110 infighting, and Saylor selling, with the price still holding, is what a bottom looks like rather than a top. They run through a brutal week for Bitcoin infrastructure: BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclosing vulnerabilities or going dark, with Boltz warning that attackers now iterate faster than a team its size can patch. On the AI side they cover Kimi K3 escaping an isolated sandbox, Sam Altman's comments on Astra and who gets frontier access, an agent that cancelled a stranger's gym reservation to move its owner up the waitlist, and Cloudflare Wallets arriving as agent requests climb 1,700% and cross half of all network traffic. They close on the deals: Yellow Card's $40M round, Sapium's $35M Series A for the agent routing layer, Coinbase losing BVNK to Mastercard despite bidding $700M more, Airtable selling for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak, and what Block's Buzz did during the Coldcard incident.Chapters00:00 - Coldcard update: thefts slow, 2,000 BTC still gone01:00 - BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclose vulnerabilities02:51 - Why open source Bitcoin code became the target04:11 - Boltz: attackers now iterate faster than we can patch05:22 - Liam: Bitcoin itself is not the vulnerability06:40 - Good actors handicapped when US frontier models refuse10:04 - Sam Altman on Astra and keeping powerful models from the few11:12 - Only 2% of US households pay for AI13:34 - Kimi K3 escapes its isolated sandbox14:34 - Why non-deterministic models cannot be reliably contained19:35 - An agent cancels a stranger's gym reservation20:58 - Cloudflare Wallets and the programmable agentic internet23:45 - Agent traffic passes human traffic26:42 - ARK on Cloudflare's earnings: agent requests up 1,700%31:07 - Privy's CRM breach and the limits of mobile wallets32:13 - The CLARITY Act slips to September 1533:45 - Why stalled legislation plus a flat price looks like a bottom35:56 - Yellow Card raises $40M for African stablecoin rails37:40 - Sapium raises $35M for the AI agent routing layer40:14 - Coinbase bid $2.5B for BVNK and lost to Mastercard at $1.8B42:17 - Airtable sells for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak45:32 - The Architecture Problem and where custody goes next47:48 - Why every firm ends up at multi-institution custody49:22 - Buzz, Goose, and how Block moved in hours on Coldcard54:45 - GPU hours as crude oil: an open source AI analogy55:34 - Sergey Brin returns to Gemini, Meta ships Muse CodeIf you found this valuable, please subscribe to Early Riders Insights for access to the best content in the ecosystem weekly: https://www.earlyriders.com/researchKeep up with Michael:https://x.com/MTangumaKeep up with Liam:https://x.com/Lnelson_21Keep up with Brian:https://x.com/BackslashBTC

Phil Goldfeder runs the American Fintech Council, the trade group representing nearly 170 fintech and banking companies. Before that he advised Chuck Schumer and Michael Bloomberg, served in elected office, and helped steer Cross River through the Paycheck Protection Program, where a bank with six or seven billion dollars in assets made as many loans as Chase and Bank of America.In this episode, Reggie Young talks with Phil about how policy actually gets made and changed. They cover the lessons he took from Bloomberg and Schumer, what it was like inside Cross River during PPP, how a trade group turns 170 members with different interests into workable positions, why relationships with regulators get built in rooms rather than in filings, and the window he sees for durable policy work over the months ahead.Fintech Layer Cake is powered by Lithic, financial infrastructure that helps teams build better card and payments products for consumers and businesses.Chapters: 00:00 – Cold open: know what you know 00:12 – Meet Phil Goldfeder: Schumer, Bloomberg, Cross River, AFC 01:16 – What Bloomberg taught him about getting things done 03:16 – What Schumer taught him about time and showing up 04:33 – Inside Cross River when PPP hit 05:46 – "We have a responsibility to serve": the CEO's call 08:30 – Out-loaning the giants: a $7B bank matching Chase 09:39 – How a fintech actually advocates for policy change 11:52 – AFC as the nucleus: connecting companies, states, and regulators 14:13 – Who counts as a policymaker 15:21 – The high schoolers who changed his vote 19:01 – Managing 170 members who don't agree 19:48 – Flipping the compromise: everyone walks away a winner 21:04 – The compliance officer and the FDIC in the same room 23:13 – Banks want integrity, fintechs want speed, both can win 25:03 – Why friendly administrations don't guarantee progress 26:41 – The six-to-eight-month window to build things that last 29:36 – Consent orders as a step toward stronger companies 30:40 – Where to find AFCNothing in this podcast should be construed as legal or financial advice.Subscribe for new episodes every other Wednesday.

This episode we are joined by Mr. Pat Daniel - former CEO of Enbridge - a TSX listed infrastructure company with a market cap of ~$170 billion. Pat Daniel served as President & CEO of Enbridge Inc. from 2001 to 2012, leading the company through a transformative decade in which its market value grew roughly fourfold - from approximately $7 billion to $30 billion - while delivering an average annual shareholder return near 16%. His career began at Occidental Petrochemicals before he returned to Alberta to join Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas, followed by Home Oil and Interprovincial Pipeline - the company that would become Enbridge - where he rose through planning, systems, and business development roles over nearly three decades before being named CEO. Pat led Enbridge through the Line 6B pipeline incident near Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2010, personally relocating to Michigan for months to oversee the response, and championed the Northern Gateway pipeline project in pursuit of Canadian crude access to Asian markets. Since retiring from Enbridge in 2012, Pat has served as Chairman of Cenovus Energy and held board positions with CIBC and Capital Power. He is an avid hiker and fly fisherman, and divides his time between family, travel, and the outdoors. A chemical engineer by training, Pat holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta and a Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. Among other things we learned about $7B to $30B: 11 Years Building Enbridge. Enjoy.Newsletter: Subscribe HereThank you to our sponsors.Without their support this episode would not be possible:Connate Water SolutionsATB Capital Markets-*This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only, and is not intended as investment advice.

Cory was out for a family wedding, so Brady and Philip hosted from his handle. Also new: a weekly recap song in a different genre each week, covering everything from the previous weeks of the show. Daniel Batten on Cambridge's new number. Its updated assessment puts Bitcoin mining at 59.4% clean energy, against a global grid mix near 40%. Hydro is the largest single source. Full report expected later this year. Sweden's grid used Bitcoin mining 11,000 times last year to absorb excess wind. Batten's point: operators call it flexible load, flexible compute, or data centers. Anything but Bitcoin mining. Six Brazilian energy companies are doing the same with stranded generation. The best idea in the episode, and it's Batten's. A grid operator is incentivized to admit a problem, because saying so unlocks resources and doesn't destabilize the grid. A central banker never can, because the admission is itself the instability. Batten expects the West to adopt Bitcoin as an energy solution before a monetary one. In the global South the monetary problems are existential already: banking access, storing wealth safely, remittances that otherwise cost up to 20%. The Ethiopian dam. You cannot build half a dam, so it's sized for demand 20 years out. No transmission lines, no industry, no customer for the surplus. Miners paid roughly three cents per kilowatt hour and delivered over $100M in unexpected revenue. Callum Wheeler of Renew Blocks on Britain's curtailment bill. £1.5B last year paying wind farms to switch off and firing gas nearer London instead, forecast to reach £7B by 2030. A new "demand for constraints" market is meant to fix it. A near-blackout on June 23 reached the shadow energy secretary via control-room whistleblowers. Cause: unexpected air conditioning demand in Britain's fourth heat wave. Wheeler's pilot is mining co-located inside a Scottish Highlands hydro powerhouse, built for £2M and never switched on. Susie Violet Ward spent 13 months chasing a BBC correction on a headline claiming every Bitcoin payment uses a swimming pool of water. No correction, and the undisclosed source was a central banker. Brandolini's law: refuting costs ten times what inventing does. Closing round on first resources. Inventing Bitcoin by Yan Pritzker, including his family's story of carrying value out of Russia. Also the Bullish Case, Broken Money, swan.com/welcome with Natalie Brunell, and Mary Kay Fain's approach: ask someone to recall a time they couldn't use their own money.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down a wild week across markets — memory stocks in freefall, Google's brutal two-day selloff, and why China's AI models are closing the gap without top-tier Nvidia chips. Micron cratered from its all-time high of $1,255 to $800 in a matter of weeks, and the DRAM ETF whipsawed right along with it. Guy and Dan dig into whether this is a routine flush or something bigger. Google sold off 10% after Gemini news broke the hyperscaler rotation narrative, and they debate whether the moat still holds given decelerating margins and ballooning capex. On the China front: DeepSeek raised $7B at a $52B valuation, Alibaba announced $50B in capex, and Moonshot's new model is narrowing the gap with US labs — all without access to Nvidia's most advanced chips. Dan and Guy also revisit the Nvidia-vs-component-suppliers margin debate, unpack Apple's surprising rally into earnings, and call the technical line in the sand on Netflix after its cash flow miss cut the stock in half. Plus: a quick check on crude, refiners hitting new highs, and what's next for energy names like Exxon and ConocoPhillips.

Last week Christian called Vista's rumored bid for Criteo "cheap" and left it at a throwaway line: three to four times.. what? A few people texted him afterward and said he could have done better; he agreed.So this week, solo from an undisclosed location while Ayelet celebrates her 30th in LA, Christian goes deep. A full side-by-side of Criteo and LiveRamp, a walkthrough of why the multiple gap between them makes almost no sense on the financials, and a concrete bull case: pay $58 a share, a 200%+ premium, then run an M&A play to build the agentic commerce OS for brands and retail.The thesis isn't buy it cheap. It's buy it decisively.What we cover: Who actually leaked the Vista story (and why Criteo's repeated phantom-deal leaks are a comms problem), the Criteo vs. LiveRamp side-by-side on revenue growth, revenue mix, EBITDA, and free cash flow, why LiveRamp's 107% net retention is at real risk once Publicis owns it, why Criteo's transactional model might be the safer bet in an agentic era where subscription pricing is under fire, the AI option value nobody's pricing in, and three specific M&A targets that would fix Criteo's biggest gap: no Amazon, no Walmart.Plus two deals worth flagging: Podean's fifth acquisition (Social Commerce Club) and Brunner buying AdSkate.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:26 — Solo episode, life changes, and happy 30th to Ayelet 0:50 — Why we're revisiting Criteo/Vista: "you really could have done better" 1:30 — The backstory: Bloomberg, Reuters, and a 50% premium at ~$3.7B implied 2:00 — Who leaked it?

During Episode 36 of Biotalk, Geoff Meyerson, CEO of Locust Walk, unpacks our 2026 Q2 Report: Global Trends in Biopharma Transactions, covering capital markets, strategic deals, and regional trends.  Market Overview: 2026 Q2 confirmed that 2025's momentum was durable: strategic activity stayed exceptionally strong, public markets kept reopening, and Europe's venture market rebounded sharply. China cemented its lead in global licensing while the U.S. dominated M&A and public markets. Strategic Transactions: Licensing held near record levels at ~$72B across 43 deals, with average deal size reaching a record ~$1.7B as pharma concentrated capital on fewer, earlier-stage assets. China drove ~60% of first-half value, anchored by the $15B+ Bristol Myers Squibb–Hengrui collaboration, even as upfronts fell to just ~5% of deal value. M&A hit a record ~$80B across 34 transactions, up 222% year-over-year, with U.S. sellers accounting for ~93% of value and oncology leading at ~40%. Capital Markets: U.S. markets kept reopening: seven IPOs raised ~$3.1B (a five-year high), venture reached ~$4.5B, and layoffs fell to a three-year low. Europe's venture market rebounded more than fivefold to ~$3.3B, led by Isomorphic Labs' $2.1B Series B. Outlook: Dealmaking is strong and markets are opening, but structures will keep favoring milestone-heavy economics. China's licensing dominance and U.S. leadership in M&A and financings will shape strategy through the rest of 2026.

Eight years ago, a broken heart and a bar called Sugars turned into the GZ Chop Shop. This week, Greg, Ty, and Uly celebrate 8 years on air by diving into PlayStation's plan to kill physical games in 2028, the billion-dollar UK lawsuit that could reshape the PlayStation Store, dynamic pricing, Xbox's leadership shakeup, and a real console-wars history lesson — plus the origin story of the show itself.KEY TAKEAWAYSSony is ending physical disc production in January 2028 — every future PlayStation game will be digital-only, which strips away the one built-in price comparison consumers had against the PlayStation Store.Sony faces a UK monopoly lawsuit (reported near $2.7B) alleging the PlayStation Store's 30% commission and lack of retail competition make digital prices "excessive and unfair" — on top of an already-settled $7.85M U.S. case over lost voucher competition.Dynamic pricing is coming to PlayStation Store — the same game could cost you more or less depending on your purchase history and genre preferences, with no outside storefront to compare against once physical is gone."Owning" a digital license isn't the same as owning a game — Yakuza Zero and the Kingdom Hearts All-in-One collection have both been delisted from PS Store, and physical PS Vita purchases have a hard shutoff date looming.Xbox's leadership is in flux, and the crew digs into what that means for whoever ends up being blamed if Game Pass's economics don't hold up long-term.A real console-wars history lesson: why the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 lifetime (and why that one-year head start matters more than people remember), and how Nintendo profits off pure brand loyalty (Labo, we're looking at you).Square Enix is moving upcoming titles to "game key cards" on Switch — a cartridge that's really just a license key, not the actual game data.8 years, 241+ episodes, zero hiatuses — the crew looks back at how a bad breakup and a bar conversation turned into a full media brand.CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro: 8 years of the Chop Shop + anniversary housekeeping01:00 — G FUEL Giveaway details (prize pack + $50 Steam Gift Card)02:00 — PlayStation's censorship baggage, revisited03:41 — Sony's billion-dollar UK monopoly lawsuit04:41 — Dynamic pricing, explained plainly06:22 — GTA 6's price tag and the industry domino effect07:03 — Digital "ownership" is a rental — the GamesRadar take that broke us11:26 — The Crew (Yakuza Zero) delisting precedent13:14 — Kingdom Hearts All-in-One quietly disappears from PS Store20:12 — How to actually protect your physical/digital library before the cutoffs hit22:57 — Xbox's "we told you so" moment29:00 — Is Microsoft trying to sell off Xbox?31:00 — Xbox 360 vs. PS3 vs. Wii — the real lifetime sales numbers41:41 — Nintendo's untouchable formula (yes, we all bought the Labo)44:52 — Days Gone, Sunset Overdrive, and games we'll never get sequels for45:26 — Square Enix's game key card move — bad news for physical Switch collectors53:54 — [Redacted for decency — you'll know it when you hear it]54:22 — 8 years of GZ Chop Shop: the actual origin story1:08:00 — The wildest guest requests we've ever landed1:14:16 — Where we want the show to go next1:19:15 — Outro + how to enter the anniversary giveaway⚡ G FUEL affiliate link

Vinny Lingham warned 18 months ago that Michael Saylor would harm Bitcoin more than FTX.

Vinny Lingham, co-founder of Praxos Capital, tweeted in October 2024 that Michael Saylor would do more damage to Bitcoin than FTX. On Unchained, he argues the collapse was always predictable, and that this is not a Ponzi but what he calls a 'Saylor scheme.' Lingham maps how the empire breaks once MSTR trades at a discount to mNAV, why the 32-Bitcoin sale and the $1.5 billion buyback of 2029 converts blew Saylor's runway, and why $6.7 billion in convertible notes raises default risk by 2028. He also weighs a Soros-style attack theory and the switch to bimonthly dividends. His fix is the one thing Saylor won't do: stop buying, stop diluting, wait it out. The question is who removes the biggest buyer of Bitcoin, him or the market.
