Has real estate finally bottomed? Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise (managing over $7B in real estate), says it's so. And he's not just talking about commercial real estate. If true, one particular type of real estate investment could do exceptionally well over the next year, but most people (even Dave!) are going in a different direction. Where could the next big real estate boom happen? We're getting into it! To continue this prediction season, Ben joins us to walk through a few crucial economic outlooks that could greatly affect the housing market. From AI stunting hiring to inflation actually going down (below 2%!), American wage trends changing dramatically, and the assets that will perform best, we're getting his take as someone who manages billions of dollars in real estate. Want mortgage rates to go down? We need lower inflation, and Ben says there's good news on the horizon for stable prices. New technology adoption could lead to much lower inflation (even deflation in some cases). Could this be what reignites the housing market as mortgage rates react to a more stable economy? Ben gives his full take, with some surprises even Dave wasn't prepared for. In This Episode We Cover The bottom for real estate prices? Why Ben thinks it's here (or very close) The end of runaway inflation: How AI could kill the concern over rising costs More Americans making less, and what happens when AI takes tens of millions of jobs The one type of residential real estate that is poised to perform best in 2026  A new AI tool that could be pivotal for rental property investing research And So Much More!

Powerball's $1.7B jackpot could make Christmas Eve unforgettable for a lucky winner. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore what ServiceNow's potential $7B acquisition of Armis could mean for its cybersecurity strategy and its customers.Highlights00:06 — According to recent reports, ServiceNow is in advanced talks to acquire Armis, with more details expected to be announced in the coming days. Coverage from Bloomberg suggests that the deal could be worth up to $7 billion. I want to discuss what the introduction of Armis to the ServiceNow ecosystem could mean for customers.00:34 — Armis is a cyber exposure management and security company. The company's technology protects the integrity of an organization's attack surface and manages cyber risk exposure in real time. The company's flagship platform, Armis Centrix, is an AI-enhanced, cloud-native security solution that monitors an organization's digital attack surface.01:07 — If this deal goes ahead at the reported price, it would be by far the largest acquisition in ServiceNow's history. The addition of AI-enhanced cybersecurity tools that not only consistently monitor but also provide real-time priority protection would significantly boost ServiceNow's existing security capabilities.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

A shocking arrest, a record-breaking fraud scandal, and a system Americans are rapidly losing faith in. Tara breaks down how the Brown University shooter was also the MIT murderer, why authorities initially denied the connection, and how the truth emerged anyway. But that's just the beginning. The episode dives into what may be the largest theft from the federal government in U.S. history—potentially $18 BILLION funneled through Minnesota alone—along with evidence suggesting officials looked the other way. The result? A growing sense that taxpayers are being looted on an industrial scale.

Today, we're going headfirst back into the world of the tier one football executive. Peter Moore is the former CEO of Liverpool, the man who oversaw the clubs return to the top of English and European football. Working alongside Jurgen Klopp from 2017-2020, this was one of the most effective ‘performance x business' relationships in modern football. How do you win on the pitch and build value off it?Peter does not wrap his achievements in the on-field success experienced during his tenure; as you've just heard, it is the rediscovered affection and identity that fans found with the club that demonstrates a job well done. That's quite an extraordinary stance for a CEO to have. Commercial maximisation and fan sentiment are hard to balance, and while there is always conflict over ticket prices or pre-season tours, we get something here which seems to recognise the importance of the club/fan relationship and asset value maximisation.An interesting time to be having this chat considering Liverpool's recent struggles on the pitch and the Mo Salah situation, there is also plenty to go into around his role with Wrexham and the rise to prominence of football in the US. We're delighted to welcome Peter to the Business of Sport.Timestamps:00:00 Intro06:10 Getting the Call to be Liverpool CEO09:15 "I Probably Wasn't A Good Fit For The Role"11:47 Not Involved in Football Transfers18:17 Google x Liverpool20:04 Liverpool is Immune to Winning & Losing22:23 Magic of Jurgen Klopp34:19 Funny Story: Did Liverpool Tap Up VVD?37:19 The Power of Star Players39:45 Mo Should'nt Have Said That46:53 Socialist Roots in a Capitalist Football Club52:44 Did Peter Get On With The Owners?54:13 Wrexham: Peter's InvolvementOn today's show we discuss: How a Modern Football Club Really Works:How a Scouse kid who grew up in a pub ended up running a $7B gaming company and then Liverpool FC.Breaking down the structure: Jurgen Klopp in football, Michael Edwards on the balance-sheet, Billy Hogan on commercial, and Peter on operations.Running matchdays, hosting rival owners, managing 800 staff, and being the global face of a club with hundreds of millions of fans.Why his leadership philosophy ultimately distilled into four C's: Community, Civic, Commercial and CultureBuilding the Liverpool Business Machine: How Liverpool rebuilt its commercial spine: CRM, global fan acquisition, digital content, funnel strategy, and personalisation.How global content like Inside Anfield reshaped the club's relationship with 99% of fans who will never visit the stadium.Why the F&B and stadium expansion debate is about operational flow, not squeezing fans and how multi-generational matchday culture shapes decision-making.Jurgen Klopp, Culture & the Power of a Manager:The first moment he met Klopp and why he instantly thought: “This man is a modern Shankly.”Why the culture around Klopp, not individual players, is what the fans ultimately defend… including during moments like the current Mo Salah dispute.The unique Scouse belief that “the badge is bigger than any player”, and how that gives Liverpool a cultural advantage.Celebrity Ownership, Wrexham & the Power of Content:The story of how Rob McElhenney showed up at his house to recruit him for Wrexham.Why he advised them early on and helped legitimise the project, including getting Wrexham into FIFA.Breaking down what Reynolds and McElhenney get right and why content is the real multiplier modern clubs underestimate.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: StrydeBringing sports investment opportunities to your door.

Glean started as a Kleiner Perkins incubation and is now a $7B, $200m ARR Enterprise AI leader. Now KP has tapped its own podcaster to lead it's next big swing. From building go-to-market the hard way in startups (and scaling Palo Alto Networks' public cloud business) to joining Kleiner Perkins to help technical founders turn product edge into repeatable revenue, Joubin Mirzadegan has spent the last decade obsessing over one thing: distribution and how ideas actually spread, sell, and compound. That obsession took him from launching the CRO-only podcast Grit (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRiWZFltuYPF8A6UGm74K2q29UwU-Kk9k) as a hiring wedge, to working alongside breakout companies like Glean and Windsurf, to now incubating Roadrunner which is an AI-native rethink of CPQ and quoting workflows as pricing models collapse from “seats” into consumption, bundles, renewals, and SKU sprawl. We sat down with Joubin to dig into the real mechanics of making conversations feel human (rolling early, never sending questions, temperature + lighting hacks), what Windsurf got right about “Google-class product and Salesforce-class distribution,” how to hire early sales leaders without getting fooled by shiny logos, why CPQ is quietly breaking the back of modern revenue teams, and his thesis for his new company and KP incubation Roadrunner (https://www.roadrunner.ai/): rebuild the data model from the ground up, co-develop with the hairiest design partners, and eventually use LLMs to recommend deal structures the way the best reps do without the Slack-channel chaos of deal desk. We discuss: How to make guests instantly comfortable: rolling early, no “are you ready?”, temperature, lighting, and room dynamics Why Joubin refuses to send questions in advance (and when you might have to anyway) The origin of the CRO-only podcast: using media as a hiring wedge and relationship engine The “commit to 100 episodes” mindset: why most shows die before they find their voice Founder vs exec interviews: why CEOs can speak more freely (and what it unlocks in conversation) What Glean taught him about enterprise AI: permissions, trust, and overcoming “category is dead” skepticism Design partners as the real unlock: why early believers matter and how co-development actually works Windsurf's breakout: what it means to be serious about “Google-class product + Salesforce-class distribution” Why technical founders struggle with GTM and how KP built a team around sales, customer access, and demand gen Hiring early sales leaders: anti-patterns (logos), what to screen for (motivation), and why stage-fit is everything The CPQ problem & Roadrunner's thesis: rebuilding CPQ/quoting from the data model up for modern complexity How “rules + SKUs + approvals” create a brittle graph and what it takes to model it without tipping over The two-year window: incumbents rebuilding slowly vs startups out-sprinting with AI-native architecture Where AI actually helps: quote generation, policy enforcement, approval routing, and deal recommendation loops — Joubin X: https://x.com/Joubinmir LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joubin-mirzadegan-66186854/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and the Zuck Interview Experience 00:03:26 The Genesis of the Grit Podcast: Hiring CROs Through Content 00:13:20 Podcast Philosophy: Creating Authentic Conversations 00:15:44 Working with Arvind at Glean: The Enterprise Search Breakthrough 00:26:20 Windsurf's Sales Machine: Google-Class Product Meets Salesforce-Class Distribution 00:30:28 Hiring Sales Leaders: Anti-Patterns and First Principles 00:39:02 The CPQ Problem: Why Salesforce and Legacy Tools Are Breaking 00:43:40 Introducing Roadrunner: Solving Enterprise Pricing with AI 00:49:19 Building Roadrunner: Team, Design Partners, and Data Model Challenges 00:59:35 High Performance Philosophy: Working Out Every Day and Reducing Friction 01:06:28 Defining Grit: Passion Plus Perseverance

In this episode, Maitlan Cramer, Managing Director at Bow River Capital, breaks down the "Capital Plus" playbook used to manage roughly $4.7 billion in assets across the firm.Maitlan moves beyond the typical VC advice, explaining why growth equity is about "rolling up your sleeves" to fix broken processes rather than just writing checks.

Watch us on YouTube!Ed and Paul dive deep into OpenAI's massive long-term compute commitments and what it means for the company's economics, competitive positioning, and the broader AI arms race. They break down the tension between explosive revenue growth and unprecedented spending, the venture-logic behind “land-grab” behavior, and the risks these commitments pose to both vendors and competitors. In the second half, the conversation turns to Microsoft Teams, the EU's antitrust ruling, and the messy realities of bundling, competition, and predatory pricing — all served with classic Results Junkies candor, startup-operator logic, and more than a few cheeseburger metaphors. Topics & Timestamps 00:05 – Opening banter & travel logistics Ed and Paul compare time zones, Vegas scenery, and the eternal quest for a cheeseburger. 01:04 – Housekeeping Where to find Ed and Paul online; quick reminders for Results Junkies listeners. 01:20 – OpenAI's staggering compute spend Discussing the article outlining OpenAI's commitment to tens of billions in annual compute spending — and why the math seems wild compared to current revenue. 03:20 – Revenue vs. spend: does the model scale? How OpenAI reportedly moved from $1.7B to $12B annualized revenue in ~18 months — and whether that trajectory justifies a $60B/year commitment. 04:40 – Venture-style land-grab logic Why this looks like a classic “spend now, dominate later” strategy — just at an unprecedented scale. 06:00 – What happens if OpenAI misses the commitment? Exploring the vendor-risk problem: what does a partner do when they're left $10–20B short? 07:27 – Founders vs. investors: who's really risking what? Why downside risk isn't shared equally — especially when founders have little capital invested. 08:04 – Barriers to competition increase dramatically The larger these commitments get, the harder it becomes for smaller AI startups to realistically compete. 08:35 – Capacity lock-up strategies Why monopolizing vendor resources may be a conscious competitive tactic. 09:17 – Transition to Microsoft Teams & Slack's EU complaint Ed outlines the EU's ruling requiring Microsoft to unbundle Teams and adjust pricing. 10:58 – Is this really a European-only issue? A look at how bundling plays out in the US market as well. 11:36 – The role of precedent Can EU regulatory pressure spill into US practice? 12:22 – Government-mandated pricing: tricky territory Paul reacts to the idea of regulators dictating price gaps — and why it feels risky through a startup-operator lens. 14:01 – Is Teams effectively a “free burger”? Ed argues that bundling Teams at near-zero cost resembles predatory pricing designed to box out Slack. 15:49 – Revisiting antitrust basics Where's the line between aggressive competition and anti-competitive behavior? 17:33 – Airline analogy: when incumbents crush challengers Ed recounts how United Airlines once priced a regional competitor out of existence — and why the dynamic resembles the Microsoft–Slack situation. 18:59 – Could giants always “out-capacity” challengers? Why big players can add supply and out-discount smaller competitors indefinitely. 20:01 – Independence Air and the Dulles example A real-world case study in predatory pricing and market power. 22:12 – The free-market debate A nuanced discussion on where regulators should intervene. 23:01 – US vs. Microsoft (2000s) Why the landmark browser-bundling case still matters today. 25:17 – How defaults create de-facto monopolies Browsers then; team-collaboration suites now. 27:01 – Why Teams frustrates so many users Ed's legendary rant: stability issues, UX complaints, and cross-platform challenges. 28:29 – The cheeseburger episode idea A running joke about turning Results Junkies into a Bourdain-style food-and-business hybrid. 28:48 – More Vegas talk & logistics Travel schedule, long hotel stays, and construction-trip life. 30:07 – How Vegas won over Dana Why today's Vegas is more dining and convenience than chaos. 30:30 – Cheeseburger Day, store openings & invites Future events, potential travel, and family logistics. We'd love it if you'd leave us a rating.  It takes less than a minute and really helps us out.  Just click here!If you've got a comment or question for the show, you can e-mail us at show@resultsjunkies.com.  You can find Paul and Ed  online @paulsingh and @pizzainmotion.

Matching gifts are one of the fastest ways to grow event revenue—without asking donors for more than they've already given. Colleen Carroll from Double the Donation breaks down how employer matching works, why up to $4–$7B goes unclaimed every year, and simple ways to bake matching into your pre-event, night-of, and post-event workflow. We also cover the Handbid ↔︎ Double the Donation integration and how automated reminders do the heavy lifting for busy teams.Who this episode is forNonprofit leaders, development directors, event planners, and board members who want to increase net revenue without scaling workload.In this episode (highlights)Matching gifts 101: what counts as employer matching, volunteer grants, payroll giving—and how “workplace fundraising” ties it all together.Eligibility without HR: use a searchable database so donors can check their company's rules, minimums/maximums, and submit forms in minutes.Automation that converts: a proven reminder cadence (Day 1, Day 3, Day 30) to nudge donors to complete their match—politely and effectively.The revenue gap: $4–$7B in matches go unclaimed annually; roughly 10% of the U.S. workforce is eligible—your donors are in there.Pre-event momentum: add employer field + company search to forms, prime donors in invites/confirmations, and identify likely matching employers by region.On-stage moment: give matching a two-minute spotlight; peer testimony from a donor who's used matching is the fastest way to drive action.Post-event plays: trigger automated emails, then personally follow up on top gifts (call or short video) to secure high-value matches.Board & major donor strategy: structure annual giving to maximize match caps and deadlines; set calendar reminders so matches don't expire.ROI math: with entry tiers around ~$1K/yr (varies by org), a couple of matched gifts can cover the cost—and the rest is upside.Handbid ↔︎ Double the Donation: surface “Find a corporate match” in Handbid flows, pass donors to the right company form, and track completion.Resources & linkshttps://doublethedonation.com/ Colleen Carroll on LinkedIn Third-Party Integrations with HandbidCTAIf you're ready to unlock matching dollars, Handbid makes it easy to sell tickets, run mobile bidding, and capture employer matches—all in one place.

Special Feature:    Andrew Crawford, Vice President at Keysource talks with TWIRx host Todd Eury about the direct to patient market (Direct to Consumer, DTC) expected to hit $21 billion this year. Pharmacy is evolving fast. When DTC brands move in, pharmacies have a choice...compete or collaborate. Some manufacturers are selling directly to patients at discounted cash prices and cutting out traditional intermediaries. The model is projected to grow 9% a year through 2030, with pharma support services expected to nearly double from $3.2B to $5.7B by 2030.  Driven by cost pressure and new legislation, manufacturers are moving quickly. It is creating more transparency but patients still need guidance, trust, and human care. Pharmacy is being redefined as the bridge that keeps care personal, safe, and local. It is not being replaced, but what will it look like in 10 years?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1188: Today we're talking Toyota's global muscle amid U.S. tariffs, Waymo's bold autonomous rollout into new cities, and why your store's holiday playlist might be just early enough to keep shoppers smiling.Show Notes with links:Toyota posted a surprising 62% jump in second-quarter profit and raised its annual outlook, even as U.S. tariffs continue to take a multi-billion-dollar toll. The automaker's resilience stems from its increasingly global revenue base and a strong performance outside North America.Despite nearly $3B in quarterly tariff costs, Toyota's bottom line rose thanks to gains in Europe, Africa, and currency advantages.Q2 net profit hit ¥932B (~$6.2B), easily beating analyst estimates of ¥801B (~$5.3B), and revenue rose 8.2% year-over-year to ¥12.4 trillion (~$82.7B).President Trump, speaking to U.S. troops in Japan last week, said Prime Minister Kishida told him Toyota would invest $10B in U.S. manufacturing. “Go out and buy a Toyota,” Trump added.Waymo is accelerating its position as the autonomous driving front-runner, announcing a major expansion into San Diego, Detroit, and Las Vegas. The move adds to an already impressive footprint that includes full-service robotaxi operations in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and the Bay Area.Waymo will begin service in San Diego in 2026, with Detroit and Las Vegas to follow shortly after.The company is emphasizing snow-readiness in Detroit, citing ongoing cold-weather testing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.Waymo's return to Las Vegas is symbolic—it passed the first-ever state self-driving test in Nevada back in 2012.Waymo continues logging 2 million autonomous miles per week and plans to launch in Miami, Dallas, Washington, and even London by 2026.Retailers are decking the halls earlier than ever, and despite the usual grumbling about “Christmas creep,” most shoppers seem totally fine with it. A new survey reveals that the majority of U.S. consumers don't mind holiday music and décor showing up well before Thanksgiving.Only 20% of consumers think retailers should wait until after Thanksgiving to start the holiday ambiance.A combined 55% are cool with it starting in early to mid-November, while 22% are fine with it as early as October.Mood Media, a company specializing in in-store atmosphere, says holiday scents and music can actually increase shopper “dwell time.”41% of consumers said holiday vibes make them stay longer; only 6% said it makes them leave sooner.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:30 ASOTU Edge Webinar on AI and Data Today!1:28 Toyota Raises Guidance Amid Tariff Hits3:44 Waymo To Add San Diego, Detroit and Las Vegas6:51 Shoppers Seem TJoin 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/

The prevailing meteorological conditions today warrant significant attention, as a formidable Pacific atmospheric river continues to inundate the Northwestern region of the United States. With the advent of heavy precipitation, coupled with mountain snow and elevated surf conditions, we must remain vigilant regarding the potential for localized flooding and hazardous weather.

Fortune 500 executive and consultancy Founder Nyla Beth Gawel took an non-traditional path into technology, originally studying foreign service not computer science. In leading transformational initiatives at SAIC, Verizon and Booz Allen Hamilton that included steering $7B+ organizations through AI adoption and digital transformation, her secret was simple. She never planned any of it. "Career paths are rarely linear. It really wasn't about what degree did I have. it wasn't about certifications. It wasn't about things on paper that could correlate to the likelihood of success." What did matter was intellectual curiosity and the willingness to embrace complexity rather than run from it. Plus a big dose of really understanding customer needs. "The best technical solutions cam from a deep understanding of a need, not just the interest in what could happen technologically." Everything is ultimately about people, and your legacy as a leader is defined by how you inspire them.

Sweepstakes Limited (Stake.us), Aubrey “Drake” Graham, and Adin Ross, filed October 27, 2025, in Missouri's Circuit Court, Jackson County.
