Podcasts about 8K

Most engineering teams are still optimizing for the wrong thing. They chase the speed of code when the real bottleneck is the speed of context. Matt Watson and Eban Bisong, founder and CEO of Senvi, get into what actually changes when AI moves from a coding tool to a teammate.Eban has spent his career as a founding engineer, and his approach is hands-on: don't tell skeptical engineers AI works, show them, every standup, until the pushback turns into excitement. At Park DNA he built "RTD2," an OpenClaw-powered droid wired read-only into their data sources, Slack, and Jira. It answered support questions before an engineer could, created its own bug tickets, and joined meetings through Fireflies so nothing got lost. The lesson underneath all of it: record everything, because the team that captures the most context ships the right thing fastest.Matt also shares his own three-week rabbit hole with Claude Cowork, $8K in tokens, a fully rebuilt Full Scale website, a thousand dead blog posts deleted, and 200 more rewritten. They go a few rounds on why it's a bad time to be a coder but a great time to be a builder, why "good enough" is a real standard and not a cop-out, and why ownership beats asking permission every time.If you build software or lead an engineering team, listen now.

My financial situation this year is giving... erratic. I share every detail in today's ep and why I'm not calling 911 yet.After YEARS of steady monthly recurring revenue that paid all my basic expenses and then some, I changed my business model in late 2025, which resulted in seeing income numbers I haven't seen since year 1 of starting my business. I'm talking "how am I going to afford all this month's expenses?" kind of numbers.At first, I was chill, leaning on my savings and systems. Then, I freaked out. HOW TF DID THIS HAPPEN?! I thought I mastered budgeting and forecasting??I share the full story, what I did to turn the ship around, and share practical advice on what to do when you're in a similar sitch.Episodes mentioned: How I Paid off $8K of Debt in One MonthHow I Planned My Sabbatical (So You Can Too) - Saving, Taking 2 Months Off and Why It's Freaking Me Out☎️ Have more questions?

Hey yall, Alex here, let me catch you up! I came back from vacation expecting to cover Fable 5 after a week of using it. The first two days after we all first got access to a Mythos level model were super exciting! But then the news hit, US Government issued an order banning Anthropic from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!). So, this wasn't the show I planned, but it turned into a great show about Open Source, as two models hit the top rankings and are both MIT licence, filling a Fable shaped hole in our hearts!GLM released 5.2 with folks really excited about it web building capabilities, and Kimi 2.7 Code released (and is available on CW Inference with crazy speeds!). We also saw the SpaceX IPO and Cursor $60B acquisition, Noam Shazeer joining Open and Midjourney, the image company, launching a new Ultrasound full body scanner to kill MRIs! Great show today with Dexter Horthy from HumanLayer, Chris Van Pelt and Adrian Swanberg from W&B announcing our new product HiveMind and Tanishq Abraham came back to help cover Midjourney's new Ultrasound scanner! Let's dive in!ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The US Government bans Fable 5! (X, Anthropic statement)Here's a story in 3 parts: * Anthropic announces Mythos 5 preview - saying that this model is to dangerous to release, and only gives corporations access to it via project GlassWing. * Anthropic works hard on limitations and safery and releases Fable 5 (same weights as Mythos 5) built with guardrails so strong it refuses to do any cybersecurity tasks and switches back to Opus frequently* US Government receives a tip (reportedly from Amazon) that Fable 5 can be jailbroken to do cybersecurity tasks, and issues an order to Anthropic, citing national security concerns, banning them from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!)This is the first time that we see the US Government directly intervene in the AI space and restrict access to frontier models. The most updated reporting on this I could find is that Anthropic and US Government officials are in the process of negotiating a safe release framework. Given that preventing all jailbreaks is impossible, I hope they will land on a solution that gives me Fable 5 back!This hit especially hard because last week we were all high on Fable. Not in the usual AI Twitter benchmark sense, in the actual “oh, this is a different level” sense. Me and my wife Fable maxxed throughout our flight to Vacation. Peter had saved outputs he kept going back to because other models suddenly felt like a step down. Dexter later said it was the closest he had felt in a while to the old “I need to keep prompting this thing overnight” feeling.Peter Gostev made a point that stuck with me. It's easy for us in the bubble to call this ridiculous, and on the technical merits it kind of is. But if you've spent weeks telling normal people “this thing is like a nuclear weapon, it'll take everyone's jobs,” and then someone asks “okay, can you make it safe?” and the answer is “no, I can't,” then you can see how an outsider lands on “well, maybe you shouldn't have it.” His takeaway, and I agree: we need to be way more careful with the imagery we use, because the nuclear-weapon framing came home to roost.The bigger questions are the scary ones. Wolfram framed it as a sovereign AI wake-up call, and he's right. For the first time we're seeing a real gap in intelligence available to people based on their nationality. Imagine building a company on a model that an outside government can switch off with one letter. Peter pointed out it's commercially bad for the US but completely disastrous for Europe, which has basically one frontier lab and a pile of startups that suddenly look very exposed. And there's the obvious irony Nisten enjoyed a little too much: the Europeans who spent years lecturing everyone about AI restrictions just got restrictions imposed on them.If anyone in the government is listening: we want Fable back, please.SpaceX IPOs and acquires Cursor for $60B (X)SpaceX went and did the largest IPO in the history of the world, around seventy-five billion dollars, which on a roughly two-trillion-dollar valuation made Elon the first trillionaire. (Did anything materially change for him? No. He can still fly his private plane. There's nothing left to buy.) Three days later, SpaceX exercised its option and bought Cursor (Anysphere) for sixty billion dollars in an all-stock deal, paid in shares minted at the IPO and now trading around $211. The four Cursor co-founders are all billionaires now. Largest software acquisition ever, and for SpaceX it's barely a blip on the radar.Why are we covering a stock-market story? Because it's not really a coding-tools story, it's an AI story. Cursor gave away its IDE to a lot of people while collecting their data, then quietly became a training company with Composer. SpaceX/xAI was always strong on compute and weak on code, and the missing ingredient was exactly that kind of data. Now Composer 2.5 is already showing up rebranded inside the xAI stack, and if you pay for X Premium you can use it. Composer 3, trained on the Memphis supercluster, is reportedly coming very soon and is going to hit hard.Nisten's take was the spicy one. For the data alone it's worth it, because xAI now has insight into how essentially every enterprise that touched Cursor operates. And he had zero sympathy for the companies that assumed “no data retention for training” meant the data was actually gone. We see in legal cases all the time that deleted data is still there. His view: it should have gone open source.Cursor has over a million paying customers, $2.6 billion in revenue, projected to hit $6 to $10 billion by end of 2026. But here's the thing that matters for us, the AI coding angle. Cursor was one of Anthropic's biggest revenue pipelines because Composer runs on Claude under the hood. That pipeline is now owned by xAI. They're already jointly training Grok 4.3, a 1.5 trillion parameter model, with Cursor's proprietary coding data injected directly into pre-training, not fine-tuning. Pre-training. That's a fundamentally different thing. Composer 2.5 was already Pareto dominant on coding benchmarks before the deal closed. Now pair that with Colossus, the biggest GPU cluster in the world.Will this be enough to put XAI (now SpaceXAI) at the frontline of the AI race? Will Grok 5 be Fable level code? We'll find out. Either way, this is the most consequential AI acquisition we've seen. Period.Open Source AI GLM-5.2 takes the open source crown (X, Blog, HF, Docs)Z.ai dropped GLM-5.2 and it's now the strongest open source model for coding and long-horizon work. The headline number: 74.4% on FrontierSWE, which measures whether an agent can finish full engineering projects over hours. That trails Opus 4.8 by about one point and beats GPT-5.5. On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it jumps to 81% from GLM-5.1's 63.5%, which is a big leap. It's a 753B parameter MoE, MIT licensed, no regional restrictions, weights on HuggingFace. The 1M context window is real and usable, backed by a clever IndexShare technique that cuts per-token FLOPs by about 2.9x at full context. People are reporting roughly 8x cost savings versus Opus 4.8 for comparable quality on real coding tasks.The most interesting thing on the show was that this was a confusing release, in a good way. Peter put it well: normally a catching-up lab ships cherry-picked benchmarks and then independent testing deflates them. Here it's the opposite, almost every benchmark holds up, even crossing above Fable at certain points, and yet when he actually used it over a couple of days he wasn't blown away. His verdict, and I think it's the calibration we needed: this is clearly an amazing model, and the fact that it's open and you can run it is incredible, but it is nowhere near Fable, and it would frankly be implausible if a 700-odd-billion-parameter model matched a model that's rumored to be in the trillions. Though, I think the comparison to Fable is really really unfair, and the comments online seem to suggest that 5.2 from GLM is a banger model. Just looking at this Harvey benchmark on legal tasks from Vals, a benchmark that there's 0 chance Z.ai folks have seen! GLM 5.2 scores #3 on this benchmark! Just after Fable and Opus, and per TeorTaxes on X, previous GLM 5.1 scored an absolute 0% on this one! Where it genuinely shines is design. On Design Arena, which is a head-to-head ELO vote, people have been picking GLM-5.2's website designs over Fable's by a real margin (around 1360 to 1350). LDJ's framing is the one I buy: specialization is becoming valuable again, and GLM is clearly leaning into front-end design and taste. Wolfram added the necessary asterisk, every benchmark only tells you the model did well on that specific test, so “as good as Fable” should always carry the “on this benchmark, with these tasks” disclaimer. Fair. I'd just say this: I don't want to compare everything to Fable, because we can't even use Fable anymore. Compared to the models we can actually touch, GLM-5.2 is a fantastic deal.Kimi K2.7 Code from Moonshot (X, HF, Announcement)The other big drop. Kimi is the darling of open source while we wait on DeepSeek, and Moonshot shipped K2.7 Code, a 1 trillion parameter MoE built specifically for coding, available through Kimi Code and the API, with a modified MIT license. The standout for me isn't a single benchmark, it's efficiency: roughly 30% fewer reasoning tokens than K2.6, which matters enormously when you're running long agentic loops that burn tokens like crazy. Benchmark jumps over K2.6 are real (+21.8% on their Code Bench v2, +11% on Program Bench), though Peter and Wolfram both noticed something odd, on a few benchmarks including their Agentic Arena, the older K2.6 actually edged out K2.7. The likely explanation is that K2.7 is narrowly trained for code with reduced reasoning, so it may trade away some general capability. Moonshot themselves recommend K2.6 for general non-coding tasks. Also worth knowing: it's not multimodal, no vision, which is a real gap for coding these days. And thinking-off isn't supported, it's reasoning-on by default.The model is available on our CW Inference, with the fastest token streaming in the industry, over 280 tok/s (Announcement, try it), with very decent pricing $0.94 - $0.19 - $4.00 (input - cached - output) per million tokens.

Show Notes Your fee schedule is a revenue ceiling. And for most independent practices doing over $3 million a year, that ceiling is set too low in ways that never generate a denial and never appear on a standard report. EP186 covers the five gaps that are quietly capping your revenue, the exact fix for each one, and three actions to run this week. Gap 1 — Billing Below Your Own Allowables: You negotiate a better payer contract. The billing system does not get updated. The payer pays what you billed, not what you are owed. A practice with 20 high-volume CPT codes averaging a $10 billing gap across 800 monthly claims is losing $8,000 a month, $96,000 a year, from a contract they already won. Gap 2 — Inconsistent Fee Schedules Across Locations: A secondary location runs on its legacy fee schedule from before acquisition. Location A bills $210 for a procedure. Location B bills $165 for the same code. A site doing 400 visits a month with a $35 average billing gap is under-billing $14,000 a month, $168,000 a year. Gap 3 — No Medicare Multiplier Anchor: Fees set by instinct drift downward every year while costs move in the opposite direction. The fix: anchor to 200–300% of the current Medicare allowable and recalculate every November when CMS publishes updated rates. Gap 4 — Suppressing Global Fees for Self-Pay Patients: A practice protecting 15% self-pay volume by keeping fees low inadvertently discounts 100% of encounters. 850 commercial patients billed $40 below the correct rate: $34,000 a month, $408,000 a year. The fix: raise the global fee schedule and implement a separate documented sliding fee scale for uninsured patients. Gap 5 — No Annual Fee Schedule Review: A fee schedule that is right in year one becomes the revenue leak of year five. A $4 million practice drifting 3% below where it should be loses $120,000 a year in collectible revenue. Over five years: $600,000. The Five Fee Schedule Gaps at a Glance: Billing below allowable → Payer pays billed charge, no alert → up to $8K/month Location fee inconsistency → Lower site appears compliant on reports → $3K–$15K/month No Medicare multiplier anchor → Fees drift, no logical update trigger → Compounds annually Artificially low global fee → Self-pay policy masks commercial discount loss → $5K–$20K/month No annual review → Costs rise, billed charges flat → 3–5% margin erosion per year Three actions this week: Run the top-20 CPT code comparison — billed charge vs. highest commercial contract allowable Anchor your fee schedule to the Medicare multiplier — recalculate for this year Put the annual fee schedule review on the Q4 calendar today — first week of November, billing manager named as owner Episode breakdown: 00:00 The fee schedule is a revenue ceiling 02:30 Why silence in billing costs more than denials 05:00 Gap 1: Billing below your own allowables 09:00 Gap 2: Inconsistent fee schedules across locations 13:00 Gap 3: No Medicare multiplier anchor 17:00 Gap 4: Suppressing global fees for self-pay patients 21:30 Gap 5: No annual fee schedule review 25:00 Three actions this week 29:00 Free resource + EP187 tease Resources Mentioned NEW LEAD MAGNET  Primary resource this episode: 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan.

The Denver multifamily market just handed investors something they haven’t seen in a decade. Soft demand, motivated sellers, and seller credits big enough to buy your rate down into the fives. Right now, deals that didn’t pencil two years ago are starting to look like real opportunities for both house hackers and landlords. Host Chris Lopez sits down with Jeff White, Envision Advisors broker and active investor who just closed on his 10th house hack, plus Lender Troy Howell from Nova Home Loans. Jeff bought down his most recent purchase to 5.625% using seller credits, and the three break down exactly how he did it. The trio walks through three live Front Range deals — a Lakewood side-by-side duplex at $769K, an Aurora triplex at $625K, and a Wheat Ridge duplex at $775K. Each one gets analyzed through two lenses. First as a house hacker putting 5% down. Then as an investor at 25% down. The Lakewood duplex can house hack for $133 a month and cash flow $1,000 a month in year two. The Aurora triplex starts break-even and hits $1,000 a month after a few rent adjustments and one Section 8 conversion. Jeff and Troy also unpack the rules of thumb that matter right now. The 2% cash-on-cash benchmark for Denver multifamily. The $32K cost of waiting three years to buy. Why a soft market with higher rates is actually an investor’s best friend. And the property manager debate every new landlord wrestles with. In this episode we cover: How to house hack a Lakewood duplex for $133 a month and cash flow $1K/month in year two Why side-by-side duplexes rent for more than up-down layouts and attract better tenants The $7K to $8K basement bedroom add that changes the deal math How Jeff bought his rate down to 5.625% using seller credits in a soft market Why renewing leases before listing kills your buyer pool and sale price The 2% cash-on-cash benchmark every Denver multifamily investor should know The $32K cost of waiting three years for “perfect” market conditions Whether you’re looking at your first house hack or your tenth optimization play, this episode shows you exactly how the math works on real Denver deals today.

Blind 8-Year-Old Describes Heaven the Same as Sighted People. Imagine Heaven Podcast x John Burke. ACU Sunday Series.

During his NDE, he described heaven with details shockingly similar to what sighted people around the world report seeing — despite never having seen anything on earth himself. But there was one experience in heaven that stayed with him more than anything else. Brad encountered something so beautiful, powerful, and deeply moving that it awakened a passion inside him years before he would ever pursue it on earth. Later in life, Brad fell into a deep depression and reached the point of wanting to end his life. But in his darkest moment, the memory of what he experienced in heaven — and the passion it ignited in him as a child — came rushing back and ultimately saved him. In this emotional conversation with John Burke, Brad shares the breathtaking details of his near death experience, the uncanny similarities between his account and those of sighted people, and the heavenly encounter that changed the course of his life forever. --------------------------- Stay Connected

In this episode we break down 17 things every brand gets wrong about marketing to millennials, from the skinny-jeans myth to why "this will change your life" is the fastest way to lose us. We get into why millennials aren't in their "prime spending years" the way marketers assume, how the sandwich generation actually makes buying decisions, and why peace — not aspiration — is the emotion that's quietly winning in DTC ad creative right now. If you're building a brand that needs to sell to the biggest consumer group in the country for the next 10-15 years, this is the consumer psychology you can't afford to skip. ⚡ IN THIS EPISODE → Why "millennials are 25" is costing brands money (the oldest is 45) → The peace angle that's outperforming aspiration in ad copy right now → How to say "we get it" without the disingenuous "we're tired too" → Why nostalgia is a cheat code — but only if you get weirdly specific → The price-transparency move that turns a $350 sticker shock into a yes → Why the ripped-guy supplement ad and the "skincare girly" UGC both backfire ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The accidental "Nate is a co-host" mixup that started it all 01:50 Rule #1: Stop putting millennials in skinny jeans — we're not 25 03:00 The myth of "prime spending years" (we own 3% of the wealth boomers had) 03:50 The most undertaught generation — and how to educate without condescending 05:20 Midlife reinvention, not crisis: the Aston Martin that got returned 07:20 What we actually want isn't the convertible — it's a three-day weekend 08:50 The "make me feel comfortable buying" shift that's working in copy 09:30 "It's okay that you're tired" — and the one line that ruins it 12:00 The built-in millennial BS detector and why "are you struggling with X?" dies on arrival 14:30 The makeup-ad take: stop making the women too hot 16:50 Nostalgia done right — Tamagotchis, Lego Batman, and baked-in references 18:10 The 3 ingredients every real community needs 19:00 Price transparency and the hidden-fee move that closes the tab instantly 20:30 Why Nike keeps chasing Gen Z and losing loyal millennials 21:30 The performative-everything problem (and why nobody wants to be Bryan Johnson) 23:30 Mega-influencers are dead — give us the 8K-follower creator instead 24:30 Rule #17: Your salad is not "the sigh of relief I needed today" 26:50 Why millennials will carry your business for the next decade

Except the real number was more complicated than that: $2 million up front, $8 million in earn-out, and 18 months of some of the most stressful building of his life to get there. He walked away with just under $3 million post taxes — and says he regrets the sale entirely.Today, Tibo is doing over $1 million a month in revenue across a portfolio of five software products he's built since that exit. His personal spend is negligible. He has no financial advisor, keeps roughly 50% of his net worth in cash, and puts almost everything investable into index funds.This episode gets into the full deal structure, the psychological cost of the earn-out period, what he calls the "frozen state" that hits founders after a big exit, and why he says he will never sell a company again.Timestamps:02:12 — Full guest intro: who Thibault is, the Tweet Hunter story, deal structure breakdown, and episode roadmap08:08 — The $10M deal unpacked: earn-out structure, revenue milestones, and what he actually collected10:17 — The co-founder split, the 25% influencer equity deal, and whether he'd do it again14:09 — How the influencer partnership worked and why they replicated it on Tapio26:17 — "Getting a ton of money up front feels unhealthy" — Thibault on why lump-sum exits are psychologically dangerous28:14 — The "frozen state": why founders can't ship after a big exit30:42 — The earn-out burnout period: stress, loss aversion, and the 18 hardest months of his life34:37 — "It was a bad decision financially" — Thibault's verdict on the sale38:15 — Nomadic life, the Vietnam hacker residency, and how wealth changes how he travels42:42 — No financial advisor, no trust in wealth managers — why everything goes into S&P 50045:29 — Personal spend breakdown: ~$8K/month — rent, food, tech gadgets, and that's basically it48:27 — What happens to the ~$90K/month delta: cash, S&P 500, and acquiring more products49:45 — The portfolio strategy: five products, two unannounced, and the 2026 scaling challenge51:12 — Building a distribution bridge between all his products with an AI agent53:06 — Raising kids with money: unconditional safety as the foundation for risk-taking

“By the time we get there, I don't think we'll leave any stone unturned for the first one. There's still room to grow, but I do think I'll be very ready.”My guest for today's episode is Emma Grace Hurley: an ASICS athlete and one of the most consistent American road racers of the last two years. She trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis, and in 2026 she has already set the American Record at 8K (24:29 at the Shamrock Shuffle), won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, won the 25K title at the Gate River Run and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city, running 15:00 flat to miss the sub-15 barrier by four-tenths of a second.She is also, as of this week, officially confirmed as one of the scoring members of the U.S. half marathon team for Copenhagen — one of the three athletes who were misdirected in the closing mile of the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March. World Athletics granted a special exception that will allow seven American women to compete, with Jess McClain, Emma Grace, and Ednah Kurgat as the scoring athletes alongside Weini Kelati. The top three official finishers — Molly Born, Carrie Ellwood, and Annie Rodenfels — will make their international debuts as non-scoring athletes.What makes Emma Grace one of the more interesting stories in American distance running right now is the shape of her career. She graduated from Furman in 2020 with a 15:57 5K personal best, quit running entirely, took a client associate job at JP Morgan, and did not think she was coming back to the sport. She is now a 15:00 road 5K runner, an 8K American record holder, a national 10-mile champion, and a two-event Worlds qualifier. She has not run a marathon yet — it's happening this fall.In this conversation, recorded in Brooklyn, we get into all of it: what it actually took to bounce back after Atlanta and immediately set a national record three weeks later, why she doesn't love the track but is a 15-flat road 5K runner, the Cherry Blossom 10-mile where she lost the overall by one second to a woman who finished seventh in the 10,000m at the Tokyo Olympics, the moment she finally felt like the long slow build was paying off, and what scares her most about the marathon block ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠Guest: Emma Grace Hurley | @emmagracehurleyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

By Doug Green “We're really innovating the modern desktop, and this is just the beginning of the roadmap we've got planned,” said Matt Dargis, CRO of Plugable. In a Technology Reseller News podcast, I spoke with Lynn Murphy, CEO of Plugable, and Matt Dargis, CRO of Plugable, about how the company is expanding from its leadership in docking stations and PC peripherals into a larger channel opportunity built around the modern desktop, hybrid work, fleet refresh, and local AI. Plugable, founded in 2009 in Redmond, Washington, is best known as a leading third-party docking station provider in North America. The company has built its reputation around deep compatibility testing, especially in mixed environments where businesses may be supporting different laptop brands, monitor types, operating conditions, and end-user needs. Murphy said that mixed environments are now the norm. From 4K and 8K monitors to diverse laptop fleets and hybrid workplace setups, businesses need products that simply work. That has become a defining part of Plugable's value proposition: reducing complexity at the desktop and helping partners deliver reliable solutions. The channel opportunity is expanding as organizations refresh aging fleets, prepare for AI-enabled workstations, and rethink the desktop as a productivity platform. Murphy noted that Plugable's recent minority investment from Acer Gadget will help the company scale faster, expand internationally, and accelerate new product categories. One of the most important areas of focus is local AI. Plugable has launched a secure local AI enclosure with a software stack designed to enable plug-and-play AI at the desk. Murphy said this gives partners a way to help customers begin with proofs of concept and move toward broader adoption, especially where repetitive workloads, private data, or compliance concerns make local AI attractive. “There is going to be a portion of the spend that moves to local, and that is repetitive and private data,” Murphy said. For MSPs and channel partners, the opportunity is not only in hardware sales but also in integration, support, managed services, proof-of-concept work, and ongoing customer engagement. Murphy pointed to use cases in law firms, public sector organizations, federal environments, doctor's offices, and distributed enterprises where local AI may offer a practical complement to cloud AI. Dargis said Plugable is a channel-first company and is investing in resources to create demand for partners. That includes evaluation units, public sector and enterprise support, government vehicles, K-12 contracts, and partner selling motions designed to bring opportunities back to the channel. “We view it as our job to embrace and engage with the customers and help the channel versus rely on the channel to do all that work,” Dargis said. The company is also focused on making the category easier for partners to sell. Plugable sees peripherals not as simple accessories, but as part of a broader desktop strategy involving productivity, asset management, compatibility, and support. For partners that may not yet be comfortable selling in this category, Dargis said Plugable is inviting conversations. The company's roots in digital commerce, customer education, and compatibility-driven support give it a foundation for helping partners serve everyone from small offices to global enterprises. As the workplace continues to change, Plugable is positioning the modern desktop as a growth opportunity for the channel. The company's message is that docks, peripherals, fleet refresh, and local AI are converging into a new desktop conversation—one that partners can lead. Learn more at: https://plugable.com

Tariffs are squeezing your margins before you even ship a unit. Whether you're doing $8K/month in home goods or $800K/month in electronics, the sourcing landscape is shifting. Neil Twa dives into what a 30% cost increase from China means for your unit economics. Two sellers, same tariff pressure, but different strategies: a $40K/month home textiles brand and a larger electronics operator. Neil breaks down three actionable moves every seller can execute, no matter your scale. The sourcing map is evolving faster than most sellers are moving. Close that gap before 2026 hits. This is The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast.

The boys are back and as chaotic as ever. This week kicks off with the group roasting a bad group photo, diving into Instagram's AI flash filter that's literally regenerating people's faces, and reminiscing about the FaceTune era — including some very detailed ab-etching confessions. From there it's the usual rabbit holes: Joe's dog is in diapers, someone got scammed at a gas station by a fake 8K projector, Maxx rolled his ankle attempting a skate trick and lost a tooth crown the same week, and somehow bathroom debates make yet another appearance. The crew gets into the NBA playoffs in full detail, breaks down tipping culture (20% minimum vs. absolutely not at Starbucks), and has a surprisingly heated conversation about whether getting scammed is just a rite of passage at this point. There's also a full deep dive into AI pricing hikes, vibe coding, what each of them actually says when someone asks what they do for work, and whether saying "bye-bye" on the phone is genuinely weird or completely normal. To close things out, the guys talk YouTube — subscriber counts, consistency struggles, and why Joe hasn't uploaded in nearly three years but keeps teasing it on his stories. Summer travel plans get floated, Maxx teases a podcast studio refresh, Christian's committing to a real upload schedule, and Joe's baby is officially weeks away. Same group, same energy, somehow always two hours long.

Federal contracting consultant strategies are unlocking million-dollar opportunities for small businesses — and this episode proves it with a real $47 million deal. Eric Coffey and guest Ronnie pull back the curtain on how a small business team navigated a complex teaming arrangement with a $400 million company to compete for a massive Corps of Engineers contract. If you think federal consulting is only for the big players, this conversation will completely change your mindset. What you'll learn in this episode:

The new i7 swaps its old 105.7kWh battery for a 112.5kWh pack using Gen6 cylindrical cells, pushing maximum range from 387 miles to 452 miles and DC charging speed from 195kW to 250kW, while adaptive dampers and active rear steering become standard across the whole range.The styling adopts BMW's Neue Klasse design language with slimmer crystal-embedded headlights, a horizontal-slat grille, 22-inch alloys as standard, and up to 500 exterior colour combinations including a new two-tone option. Inside, the i7 becomes the first BMW to offer a front-passenger touchscreen (14.6 inches), gains a 17.9-inch central display and a sweeping 43.3-inch Panoramic iDrive dashboard, while rear passengers keep their 31.3-inch 8K cinema screen and 35-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system.***RIVIAN STARTS R2 PRODUCTION IN ILLINOISRivian has begun production of the R2 at its Normal, Illinois plant, with CFO Claire McDonough confirming the start in a Reuters interview and first customer deliveries expected later this spring. Reservation holders will receive configuration invitations in June, with the $57,990 Launch Edition shipping first, followed by the $53,990 Premium later in 2026 and the more affordable Standard and entry variants arriving through 2027.Rivian expects R2 to cost less than half of what an R1 costs to build once higher volumes are reached in 2027, and the vehicle also underpins the company's broader ambitions including the $2,500 Autonomy+ self-driving package and an Uber robotaxi partnership worth up to $1.25 billion across 25 cities.***GM SAYS NO DELAY TO ELECTRIC TRUCK PROGRAMMEGM publicly denied cancelling any electric trucks after Crain's Detroit Business — citing three anonymous sources — reported that the automaker had indefinitely delayed its next-generation electric truck programme, which had been targeting a 2028 production start for refreshed versions of the Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer, and Escalade IQ. GM told Motor1 that "EVs remain the end game" and confirmed no impact to current electric truck production, though the company gave no timeline for when the next-generation programme might resume.Supplier executives and analysts told Crain's they do not expect a new generation of GM's all-electric truck line until 2030 or beyond, suggesting the delay is substantial even if GM stops short of calling it a cancellation.***SMART #2 SETS UP FORTWO RETURNSmart has unveiled the Smart #2 concept, a two-door, two-seat electric city car that revives the spirit of the original Fortwo, with a production model expected to launch in October 2026. Built on the Electric Compact Architecture platform, it offers an estimated 186-mile range — a dramatic leap over the old EQ Fortwo's 58-mile range — along with a 10–80% charge time of under 20 minutes and vehicle-to-load capability.Expected to measure around 106 inches (2.7 metres) long, the Smart #2 would be smaller than the Dacia Spring and Renault Twingo, placing it among Europe's smallest new EVs at launch.***ID. BUZZ ADDS AWD AND NEW TECHVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles is rolling out a 2026 model year update for the ID. Buzz this summer, headlined by the new Pro 4MOTION variant that pairs a 210kW rear motor with a front motor for a combined 250kW and raises towing capacity to 1.8 tonnes on the standard wheelbase. The update also brings one-pedal driving capable of bringing the vehicle to a full stop, a new Innovision infotainment system with an integrated app store, traffic-light-responsive Connected Travel Assist, a welcome return to physical steering wheel buttons, and optional vehicle-to-load capability at up to 2.0kW.***CHARGEPOINT LAUNCHES 600KW EXPRESS SOLOChargePoint has unveiled the Express Solo, a standalone DC fast charger capable of delivering up to 600kW, which the company says sets a new benchmark for public charging in the US. The unit supports two simultaneous sessions, accepts direct DC input for integration with on-site battery storage, enables bidirectional charging, and uses an Omni Port combining CCS1 and NACS connectors — all at a claimed 30% lower purchase and operating cost than comparable high-power chargers.***FRANCE SETS 2035 ROAD CHARGING PLANFrance's government has published a national strategy to deploy around 30,000 EV charging points on motorways and national roads by 2035, targeting corridors that carry roughly one third of all traffic despite representing just 2% of total road length. The plan includes approximately 22,000 fast chargers at around 150kW for light vehicles across 900 service areas — a fivefold capacity increase — plus 8,000 heavy-duty charging points across 560 locations.***COKE CANADA ADDS VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCKSCoca-Cola Canada Bottling is expanding its electric fleet to nearly 40 vehicles by adding Volvo VNR Electric trucks in Quebec City and the Vancouver area, building on a 2023 pilot programme that tested six of the trucks in real-world conditions. Each VNR Electric uses a six-battery configuration with a range of up to 440km, and the expansion is supported by a new 180kW Heliox Flex charging station in Quebec City and two additional chargers in Vancouver.***PG&E ADDS CYBERTRUCK TO V2G PILOTPG&E and Tesla have added the Cybertruck to PG&E's residential vehicle-to-grid programme, using Tesla's Powershare Gateway and Universal Wall Connector in what is the first AC-based V2G application approved for California customers. Participants can receive up to $4,500 in incentives for bidirectional charging equipment and earn additional compensation for exporting electricity back to the grid during peak demand events.***VOLKSWAGEN SETS GERMAN V2G LAUNCH FOR 2026Volkswagen and its energy subsidiary Elli plan to launch a fully integrated vehicle-to-grid service for private customers in Germany in Q4 2026, with pre-registration opening in June, promising annual earnings of €700–€900 under favourable conditions. Elli will manage the full stack — dynamic tariff, DC bidirectional charger, smart meter integration, and a control app — backed by around one million bidirectional-capable MEB-platform EVs already on European roads.

Denver home prices are flat and condo values are still sliding — here is your March 2026 Denver real estate market update. In Q1, homes across the metro held steady while condos dropped 6% year over year for the fourth consecutive quarter. As a result, that spread is creating two very different conversations for Colorado investors right now. Because the data tells such different stories depending on what you own, this episode breaks both of them down in detail. Chris Lopez is joined by Brandon Scholten of Keyrenter Property Management and Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans for this month’s Denver real estate update. Brandon manages properties across the Front Range and, as a result, brings a ground-level read on where rents are moving. Meanwhile, Troy closes investment loans daily and tracks rate trends in real time — including a recent 3-plex deal that closed at 5.875% with $17,500 in seller credits. Since the buyer had a free-and-clear home to leverage, the deal was effectively 100% financed using a HELOC. Beyond the price data, the March 2026 market update also covers stadium development along the Santa Fe corridor — the Broncos’ Burnham Yards, Denver Summit’s Santa Fe Yards, and Ball Arena’s 20-year mixed-use buildout. If those projects play out as planned, nearby property values could see a material impact. In addition, the episode includes a look at a distressed Aurora multi-family that sold for $12.4 million in 2019, yet currently carries a $10.5 million mortgage. Even though it was under contract at $6.4 million, the buyer still walked away after inspection. In This Episode We Cover: Q1 2026 Denver real estate price data — homes flat, condos down 6% and what each trend signals How Fannie and Freddie are loosening condo insurance requirements and whether it moves the needle The $865K Westminster fourplex from the monthly property walk, with projected $20K year two cash flow A creative 3-plex closing in Aurora — HELOC-funded, 5.875% rate, zero cash out of pocket Why the $12.4M distressed Aurora building couldn’t sell at $6.4M — and what it says about the broader Denver market Brandon’s take on whether the rental market’s worst softness is finally in the rearview And So Much More! This March 2026 Denver real estate market update gives you the data, the deals, and the ground-level perspective to make a more informed decision on your next move.

Forty-five days ago, he told TRE he didn't know if he liked running anymore. Then he ran 37 loops. Aleksander Piotr Lingauer showed up to the 2026 BPN Go One More Ultra carrying more than a race bib. He carried a childhood spent in foster care across England and Germany, a nervous system that had been shutting down in the weeks before the start line, and a verse from Joel written on his shirt. What he left with was something harder to name—and that's what this conversation is about.This is the post-race debrief Dominic promised to deliver in person. From the moment Aleksander flew to New York on a swollen ankle just to run 8K with a guy he admired on the internet, to crewing for Kim Gottwald through storm-halted loops in Texas, to finally hearing his own name called as a competitor—every decision in this story was made on instinct, and every one of them changed his life.On the course: barefoot through the mud, keeping strangers in the race when they were about to quit, hallucinating a dragon somewhere in the second night, and fighting his way through doubt that even Mark Dowdle admitted he'd felt. Aleksander's answer to all of it was simple: if you fail to try, doubt wins.He left the loop an honest man. Tap into the Aleksander Lingauer Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

This week, we're officially declaring a boycott on Bubly—they took away our little tab greetings, and frankly, we're taking it personal.Once we cool off, we dive into Zac's latest Steam Machine build, the logistics of launching his new course, and the wild world of fake email addresses. That naturally leads to Eric confessing his life of crime and getting detained by the police in 7th grade over a Mountain Dew Xbox 360 giveaway gone wrong. We also try to solve Eric's bathroom renovation design crisis (to Shou Sugi Ban or not to Shou Sugi Ban?), discuss the eerie targeted ads you get when you just think of something, and share a cautionary tale about sealing off your office with fresh polyurethane on the shelves.Grab your beverage of choice (even if it's a tab-less sparkling water), and let's get into it.In this episode, we cover:The great Bubly tab betrayal and morning carbonation etiquetteZac's Steam Machine video and course launch strategiesWhy giving out fake emails is necessary (especially at car dealerships)Eric's accidental identity theft and police interrogation as a kidDesign advice for Eric's half-bath renovation (Sage green?

One client had 220 people buy her offer and went viral multiple times within one launch.Another went from $5–8K months to consistent $20K months.The difference wasn't a new offer. It wasn't a bigger audience. It was messaging that finally stopped making buyers do the work of figuring out what they were actually getting.In this episode, I'm walking you through two real client case studies with before-and-after messaging breakdowns, exactly how we repositioned their offers from describing a method to selling a shift. And I'm naming the real reason most coaches stay stuck in vague: it's not that you don't know what you do. It's that you're scared to claim the result explicitly. Scared to say "this is what changes" because you can't guarantee it for every single person. That fear? That's not strategy. That's a nice-girl coded pattern running a filter through everything you put out and it's quietly costing you sales every week.You'll hear the exact language shifts that turned a 21-day breast massage and heart-healing offer into a 220-person launch, how we took "become famous" positioning and turned it into a revenue conversion system, why your low-ticket, mid-ticket, and high-ticket buyers should all be the same person and how your messaging either enforces that or breaks it.Stop making your buyer translate. Start selling the "so that."

Episode Summary Everyone talks about hitting 10,000 steps a day… But do you actually need it? Is it backed by science—or just a marketing number that stuck? And if it works… why are so few people actually doing it? In this episode, we break down the truth behind 10K steps—where it came from, what actually matters, and why it might be one of the most underrated habits in fitness. Because here's the reality: Most people aren't under-training… They're under-moving.  What We Cover The Real Story Behind 10K Steps The 10,000-step goal didn't start as science—it started as marketing with a Japanese pedometer called "manpo-kei" (10,000-step meter). But here's the twist: Even though it started as marketing… it works. Modern research shows major health benefits in the 7,000–10,000 step range, especially compared to a sedentary lifestyle. It's not magic—it's a target that works. The Hype vs. The Truth There's a lot of noise around steps: The Hype: You must hit 10K or it doesn't count It's the best fat loss tool More steps = always better The Truth: 6–8K steps already delivers major benefits 10K is a strong target—not a requirement The real win is daily movement consistency  10K isn't the goal—it's the guardrail. Why Steps Actually Work Walking works because it's simple, sustainable, and powerful. Burns calories through daily movement (NEAT) Helps regulate blood sugar—especially after meals Supports the nervous system (low stress, high return) Aids in recovery, circulation, and joint health At SISU, we don't just train hard… We move often. Why Most People Don't Hit 10K This isn't a fitness problem—it's a lifestyle problem. Desk jobs Screen time and phone addiction Thinking workouts "check the box" No awareness or structure  It's not hard physically—it's hard behaviorally. How to Actually Hit 10K Steps You don't need a 2-hour walk. Break it up across your day: Morning: 2–3K steps Midday: 3–4K steps Evening: 3–4K steps Simple ways to build it in: Walk after meals (10 minutes ≈ 1,000 steps) Take walking meetings Park farther away Walk while on calls Go for a walk with your spouse or family  Steps are one of the easiest ways to connect as a couple.  Walk It Out Challenge This is exactly why we created the Walk It Out Challenge. Simple goal Built-in accountability Community-driven Designed for real life Whether you're a beginner, a busy professional, or a couple looking to level up together—this is your entry point.  Takeaway You don't need a more intense plan. You need more consistent movement.  Action Step Start today: Track your steps Add a 10-minute walk after your next meal Invite a friend or partner to join you Simple habits. Daily reps.

"I missed out on keeping my top ten at a World Major streak when I ran New York. That was my biggest regret: walking away having lost the streak. I want to get back into that rythmn of being in the top ten. I'd love to find myself with 5K or 8K to go feeling like I'm still competing for one of the top spots." My guest for today's episode is Susanna Sullivan. She's one of the most consistent marathoners in the United States and someone who's coming into Boston with good momentum from 2025.Her last year was anchored by a fourth-place finish in Tokyo, which was a breakthrough on the world stage. She executed, competed, but didn't fully believe she was in the race for a medal until later on.Now she heads into Boston with what she describes as her first truly intentional build for this course. She's focused on hills, especially the downhills, and tailored specifically to the demands of racing Boston. Add in a 1:08 half marathon PR earlier this year, and it's clear the fitness is there.In this episode, we talk about that Tokyo breakthrough, the mindset shift that's followed, what she learned from a demanding 2025 season, and why this Boston build feels different.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Susanna Sullivan | @susannasullivan4Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSWAHOO: With the Wahoo KICKR RUN, you can simulate the exact Boston or London Marathon course right in your own home.

The cabin offers up to 8 seats, a 31-inch 8K rear cinema screen, electric sliding doors, a centre-console fridge, and pricing from roughly €68,000 to €135,000 in Germany.GM REVIVES BOLT, THEN SETS AN END DATEGM has brought back the Chevrolet Bolt for 2027 as the cheapest EV in the US at $28,995, featuring a 65 kWh LFP battery, 210 hp, 262 miles of EPA range, and 150 kW NACS fast charging with a 10–80% time of 25 minutes. However, GM plans only one model year of production, as ending Bolt output frees its Kansas City plant to shift Equinox assembly from Mexico to the US.PORSCHE ADDS CAYENNE S ELECTRICPorsche has added the 2026 Cayenne S Electric at $128,650, slotting between the 435 hp base model and the 1,139 hp Turbo with 536 hp standard and 657 hp on launch control, hitting 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds. It shares the range's 108 kWh battery and 400 kW peak DC charging, reaching 10–80% in under 16 minutes, and borrows the Turbo's direct oil-cooling system for improved thermal resilience.ELLI CONNECTS FIRST GRID BATTERY IN SALZGITTERVolkswagen's energy subsidiary Elli has connected its first large-scale battery storage system—a 20 MW / 40 MWh PowerCentre across 13 containers—to the grid in Salzgitter, Germany. The system uses cells from VW's PowerCo plant, trades energy on the European Power Exchange, and is designed to stabilise grids and support renewable energy integration.GENESIS GV90 SPOTTED CHARGING AT SUPERCHARGERA camouflaged Genesis GV90 has been photographed charging at a Tesla Supercharger in Mesquite, Nevada, confirming the model will feature a standard NACS port as Genesis rolls out NACS across all new US-market EVs from 2026 onward. The GV90 is expected to ride on Hyundai's new eM platform, which promises 50% more range than the current E-GMP architecture, with higher trims set to feature coach doors and panoramic displays.SLATE AUTO CHANGES CEO BEFORE TRUCK LAUNCHSlate Auto has replaced founder and CEO Christine Barman with Peter Faricy, a former Amazon VP and Ford executive, less than a year before the planned launch of its low-cost electric truck. Barman, the company's first hire and one of only two women leading a US automaker, moves to the role of president of vehicles at the Jeff Bezos-backed startup.DACIA READIES SECOND SMALL ELECTRIC CARDacia is preparing a second small EV to sit alongside the Spring, developed in under 16 months and targeted at under €18,000, built on Renault's AmpR Small platform that also underpins the Renault 5. The unnamed model is part of Dacia's plan to launch four new EVs by 2030, with design direction hinted at by the Dacia Hipster concept unveiled in October 2024.IVECO PUTS WIRELESS ROAD CHARGING INTO TRAFFICIveco has launched a real-world dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) trial on the A35 Brebemi motorway in northern Italy, using a production eDaily van fitted with inductive charging hardware that can charge both while stationary and while driving over embedded road sections. The project moves DWPT beyond lab testing into live traffic conditions, though it remains a technology demonstration rather than a commercial rollout due to the large infrastructure investment required for wide deployment.BYD, CHERY AND GEELY EYE CANADABYD, Chery, and Geely are preparing to enter the Canadian market by end of 2026 following a January trade reset between Canada and China, under which Canada agreed to allow 49,000 China-made EVs at the most-favoured nation tariff rate in exchange for lower Chinese tariffs on Canadian agricultural goods. Up to 15 additional Chinese brands could follow, though homologation remains the key bottleneck, with Tesla, Volvo, and Polestar best positioned to move quickly under the quota as they already have certified vehicles and established retail networks in Canada.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

America's Spartans. 400 Marylanders Hold Back 2,000 Redcoats To Save the Revolution. Long Island 1776 August 1776: The American Revolution was about to be crushed. At the Battle of Long Island (Brooklyn), Washington's army was surrounded by 20,000 British and Hessian troops. Escape routes were cut off. The Continental Army was collapsing. Then fewer than 400 men from the 1st Maryland Regiment, under Lord Stirling and Major Mordecai Gist, stepped forward for a mission few expected to survive. In one of the most heroic last stands in American military history, the Maryland 400 carried out repeated bayonet charges against veteran British forces at the Old Stone House, understanding the cost would be severe. Their sacrifice delayed the British advance for nearly an hour — just long enough for thousands of American troops to escape across the deadly Gowanus Marsh and retreat to Washington's camp at Brooklyn Heights.
