Matt Stevens walked away from his first closing table controlling two duplexes, having put nothing down, holding a check for forty seven hundred dollars. That deal taught him that things he assumed were impossible were actually available to him, and it started a career built on reading structure before reading price. Known as The Franchise Guy, Matt has more than 30 years in the franchise industry and has sat in nearly every seat at the table. He has been a franchisee, a franchise coach, a franchisor, and now a franchise consultant. He was rookie franchisee of the year, turned around struggling divisions, and served as a board member and partner inside a two billion dollar franchise group. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How to evaluate a franchise opportunity beyond the investment number, why first rights of refusal have essentially disappeared from franchise agreements, how territory math changes the economics of multi-unit ownership, the behavioral due diligence most candidates never perform on themselves, and where the real growth is happening in franchising right now. MATT'S JOURNEY: Matt got into franchising by reading an advertisement on a hallway wall at Wake Forest University. He joined the business that became CertaPro Painters when there were only 67 operators across Canada, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic. The deal had a zero dollar investment to get in and a 25 percent royalty on the back end, a trade both sides made deliberately. He spent about ten years in that system, moving from operator to coach to the franchisor side. Before franchising, Matt spent nearly two decades in rental property, building to 14 units before selling his last property in 2017. Over one six year stretch in franchising, he found, recruited, signed, trained, and mentored 167 franchise owners across nine states in a single system. Today he helps candidates cut through franchise marketing using non-public research on franchisors, their development teams, and their existing owners. KEY INSIGHTS: Every piece of human behavior is driven by inputs and outcomes rather than rationale or common sense. Matt was frustrated by several franchisor decisions when he was an owner. Once he became a franchisor, those same decisions made complete sense. His advice to candidates is to assume every rule exists for a reason and to ask why. First rights of refusal on territory used to be common in franchising and are now essentially gone. Matt's read is that the only reason a franchisor offers one today is that they are desperate to sign that candidate. What replaced it is a growth schedule tied to what an operator can realistically execute. Territory secured early is what Matt calls growth insurance. One territory costs X, three cost roughly 1.6X, and five cost roughly 2.2X, and six territories can be serviced with the same phone number and van as one. In fast moving markets, what is available today will not be available later. The hardest due diligence is the kind candidates perform on themselves. Investment and territory are confirmable. What is not confirmable is whether a person will replicate the daily behavioral patterns the system requires. One of Matt's screening questions is how long a candidate can go at zero income before hitting the panic button. The least appreciated opportunity in franchising is the mundane service business. Matt's framing is that in a market with 400 competitors within 30 miles, you are not competing against 400 companies. You are competing against the two others the customer called. That is how he became the largest buyer at his Sherwin Williams store in Keene, New Hampshire by May of his first year in the painting business at age 20. Perfect for anyone weighing franchise ownership, operators planning multi-unit growth, and dealmakers who want to see how structure and price get traded against each other in a real agreement.

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Piri Weepu and Steve Devine join us for today's episode and we try to figure out where it went wrong for the ABs in both Baltimore and the Greatest Rivalry Series. Was there anything New Zealand could have done or is the gap in quality between the sides just too big? The question becomes can the gap be closed between now and next year's World Cup or will it take a miricle for South Africa not to be crowned champions once again. Lastly NPC is nearing the end of the regular season and Wellington's woes continue and can they turn things around and end on a high before the season ends?
Scheidung ohne Trennungsjahr: Wann ist eine sofortige Scheidung möglich? Grundsätzlich müssen Ehegatten vor einer Scheidung ein Jahr getrennt leben. Doch gilt das auch nach schwerer körperlicher oder sexueller Gewalt? Und muss ein Betroffener wirklich noch zwölf Monate formal mit einem Menschen verheiratet bleiben, dem schwerwiegendes Fehlverhalten gegenüber ihm oder sogar einem gemeinsamen Kind vorgeworfen wird? Der Bundesgerichtshof hat mit Beschluss vom 08.07.2026 – XII ZB 576/25 die Voraussetzungen der sogenannten Härtefallscheidung nach § 1565 Abs. 2 BGB konkretisiert. In dieser Folge von „Wille – der Podcast für das Familienrecht“ erfahren Sie unter anderem: warum das Trennungsjahr grundsätzlich zwingend einzuhalten ist, was eine Härtefallscheidung nach § 1565 Abs. 2 BGB ist, warum endgültige Zerrüttung allein nicht ausreicht, wann körperliche oder sexuelle Gewalt eine Scheidung vor Ablauf des Trennungsjahres ermöglichen kann, warum schwere Vorfälle auch nach der räumlichen Trennung weiterwirken können, welche Bedeutung frühere Versöhnungen haben, warum eine behauptete Gewalttat konkret dargelegt und gegebenenfalls bewiesen werden muss, weshalb die BGH-Entscheidung keine allgemeine „Sofortscheidung bei Gewalt“ eingeführt hat und welche Schritte Betroffene praktisch prüfen sollten.

This week on the podcast, the conversation is all about the Giants' impressive 8-7 record in their last 15 games, and the standout performances of Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge. The speaker is joined by Duane Kuiper, a Giants legend and current broadcaster, to break down the team's recent success and discuss the impact of Devers' incredible hitting. Kuiper shares his thoughts on the Giants' current winning streak, and how it's been a team effort with contributions from young players like Eldridge. He also talks about Devers' impressive stats, including his 35 home runs and 36 doubles, and how he's been a game-changer for the team. The conversation also touches on the challenges Devers has faced in the past, including a slow start to the season, and how he's overcome them to become one of the top players in the league. The discussion also delves into the topic of umpires and their impact on the game, with Kuiper sharing his thoughts on the recent ejection of Tony V and the challenges of the ABS system. He also talks about the importance of players like Eldridge, who's been making a name for himself as a defensive first baseman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Piri Weepu rejoins the pod, and just in time to give us his feedback on the ABs performance in South Africa and what New Zealand can do to close the gap. The series isn't over with one game yet to come, but should the Baltimore game count as an official series game, with the lack of South African atmosphere, would beating SA in Baltimore mean as much? Lastly, it looks like Wellington will finish bottom of the NPC, so without relegation, would should the punishment be for the team that finishes bottom of the NPC?

In this episode of Investor Connect, we welcome Rene Wiertz, founder and managing partner of Fundracer BV, who shares how his experience building and leading premium bicycle brand 3T led him to launch a micro-mobility-focused fund that he believes has been overlooked by traditional venture capital. Rene discusses the post-COVID stabilization and renewed double-digit growth in cycling and micro-mobility, driven by urbanization, space constraints for cars, and rapid infrastructure changes in cities like Paris, London, and New York. Rene explains how new tech talent from firms like Microsoft, Google, Apple, BMW, and Tesla is bringing advanced technologies into a historically hardware-driven industry to make micromobility safer and more convenient. He outlines what helps startups raise capital—perseverance, strong go-to-market planning alongside product development, and speed to market—while warning founders against inconsistent valuation shifts and being vague about use of proceeds. The conversation highlights Funracer's key investment themes in safety tech adapted for two-wheelers, including lightweight ABS, low-power AI vision detection for collision avoidance, and reusable airbags, as well as emerging autonomous capabilities such as steer-by-wire. Rene also describes how Funracer co-invests with larger funds by providing micromobility expertise to unlock capital for the sector, and he closes with relationship-building advice for founders.

Gear-up landings are often dismissed as embarrassing pilot mistakes, but landing gear mishaps are far more common, complicated, and expensive than many pilots realize. In this episode, Max talks with Tom Turner of the American Bonanza Society Air Safety Foundation about why gear-up landings and landing gear collapses continue to happen—and the operating habits and maintenance practices that can prevent them. Turner says the Beechcraft Bonanza, Baron, Debonair, and Travel Air fleet averages about one reported landing gear mishap every week. Those events represent roughly 40 percent of the mishaps reported to the American Bonanza Society. And because many landing gear events do not meet NTSB reporting thresholds, Turner says contacts in the insurance, aircraft rebuilding, and salvage industries believe the actual number may be two to three times higher. The problem is not unique to Beechcraft. Turner previously tracked landing gear events across piston retractable-gear aircraft and found comparable or even higher rates in some other types. Landing gear mishaps also have an outsized impact on aircraft insurance because a seemingly survivable gear-up landing can result in propeller damage, an engine teardown, belly damage, and repair costs high enough for an insurer to total the airplane. Much of the conversation focuses on developing habits that make forgetting the landing gear less likely. Turner teaches the concept "gear down to go down." Rather than beginning the final descent simply by reducing power, landing gear extension becomes the event that initiates the descent from traffic pattern altitude or onto the final portion of an instrument approach. He also teaches Gear Extension Altitude, or GEA. On a straight-in or other nonstandard arrival, the pilot selects an altitude below which the airplane will not descend until the landing gear has been extended and confirmed. Max relates two occasions during his flying career when normal landing gear cues broke down. In one, while training in a Diamond DA42, he reached the flare before his instructor revealed that the gear was still up. In another, while flying a Vision Jet instrument approach, the normal glidepath cue used for gear extension never appeared. The airplane's warning system ultimately caught the omission. That leads to one of Turner's strongest recommendations: regardless of when you normally extend the landing gear, establish a deliberate final gear confirmation on short final, around 400 to 500 feet AGL. If distraction, a changed traffic pattern, a go-around, or some other interruption causes you to miss your normal extension cue, that final check provides one more opportunity to catch the error. Warning systems alone are not enough. Turner describes pilots who continued toward landing while gear warning horns sounded and bright warning lights flashed. During high workload, pilots may simply stop processing repetitive warnings. In multi-engine training, the problem can become particularly insidious because pilots may listen to a landing gear warning horn throughout a simulated engine-out exercise and effectively tune it out before landing. Turner recommends using more than cockpit lights to verify the gear. Listen to the gear motor and notice whether it sounds normal. Feel and observe the expected change in drag and pitch. Compare airspeed, power, descent rate, and aircraft performance with what you normally expect. Then verify the cockpit indications. ABS even recommends holding the gear handle until this entire confirmation process is complete. Go-arounds introduce another human-factors trap. Pilots may vividly remember extending the gear—but the memory may be from the previous trip around the pattern. Turner favors making a go-around resemble a normal takeoff, then using the same normal extension cue on the next approach. Whatever technique a pilot chooses, the key is consistency and making sure the cue will still occur following a go-around. The discussion then turns to touch-and-go landings, which both Max and Tom strongly discourage in retractable-gear airplanes. A pilot reaching to retract the flaps can inadvertently select the landing gear instead. They similarly recommend not reconfiguring the airplane during the landing roll. Wait until the airplane is clear of the runway and preferably stopped on the taxiway before moving flap or similar controls. And pilots should not assume squat switches will save them. Turner describes observations showing that systems tied to weight-on-wheels switches may not recognize the airplane as firmly on the ground until surprisingly late in the landing roll—and may switch to flight mode early during takeoff. Bumps and unloading of the landing gear can further reduce their effectiveness. Gear collapses also have a significant maintenance component. At American Bonanza Society maintenance evaluation events, aircraft are placed on jacks and their landing gear rigging and downlock tensions are carefully inspected. Turner says it is not unusual for roughly two airplanes out of a 24-aircraft event to have gear tensions so far out of tolerance that the owners are advised not to fly until adjustments are made. ABS considers improper rigging serious enough that it developed a 38-step landing gear inspection checklist to supplement normal Beechcraft inspection procedures. Finally, Turner discusses what to do when the gear itself malfunctions. If the gear begins to extend and then jams, perhaps popping the motor circuit breaker, repeatedly cycling it may turn a damaged push rod or rod end into a complete failure. Instead, Turner recommends following the airplane's approved manual landing gear extension procedure, which can place less stress on a compromised system and may give the pilot the best chance of getting all the gear down. The episode highlights the American Bonanza Society's Put Your Gear Down campaign, which makes decades of landing gear operating and maintenance information available to pilots of all retractable-gear airplanes. Its goal is simple: replace the familiar saying that there are "those who have and those who will" have a gear mishap with a third category—pilots who use disciplined operating and maintenance practices to make sure it never happens to them.

First up, we hear from an All Blacks fan who was in the stands when the ABs thumped the Springboks. Then, political commentator Jacqui van der Kaay joins the panel to discuss the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll which puts Opportunity squarely in the kingmaker role in an election. Followed by a deep look at the government's announcement on online safety and their social media ban.
Robbie Ray, now in his thirteenth big-league season, is a few weeks into his run with the Padres and has already settled in well, praising the team's mix of hard work and fun and picking up his first quality start with the club. The bigger thread in the conversation was how much Ray has changed as a pitcher. Once known as a strikeout-heavy lefty, he's become a ground-ball pitcher this year, a shift he ties directly to MLB's ABS challenge system pushing the effective strike zone lower. Adding a sinker and changeup has helped him attack that lower zone, and it shows in how comfortable he looks with runners on base — he described bearing down and trusting his stuff rather than relying on swings and misses. Ray also touched on his path to the majors, having skipped a college commitment to Arkansas after being drafted by the Nationals out of high school, and on the 2021 Cy Young Award he still keeps proudly displayed in a trophy hall at home. Altogether, it painted a picture of a veteran pitcher who's adapted his game significantly and is genuinely enjoying a fresh start in San Diego.
AI's enormous capital requirements are reshaping the way companies tap credit markets. Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur takes stock of this summer's key financing developments. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Today: Why the summer of 2026 is all about AI Financing and the evolution of credit markets. It is Friday August 21st at 2pm in New York. The summer of 2026 may ultimately be remembered not for a new model release or a breakthrough chip, but for developments in AI financing that highlighted how quickly capital markets are adapting to the demands of the AI buildout. The starting point of our analysis remains unchanged: the demand for compute continues to outstrip supply of compute, resulting in upward revisions in AI infrastructure capex expectations as hyperscalers commit additional capital to secure future capacity. Our equity research colleagues now estimate that the total capex for the four largest hyperscalers will rise 57 percent in 2027 versus 2026. These spending plans reflect growing conviction that such investments can generate 25 percent plus returns on invested capital. At the same time, the lag between capex deployment and monetization continues to pressure near-term cash generation, with our analysts' 2027 free cash flow estimates for the four hyperscalers continuing to move lower. To a credit analyst, what this means is that the result is a widening financing gap in 2027. That means AI-related credit issuance will remain substantial and may even need to increase further before cash flows from these investments begin to catch up. Developments in credit spreads this summer have been equally telling. Credit spreads for hyperscalers have widened meaningfully. More notable even than the absolute level of widening is the divergence across financing channels. For example, spread widening was most pronounced in unsecured bonds, where issuance volumes accelerated sharply and investors remained exposed to a broader range of risks tied to the AI investment cycle. By contrast, spread widening in data center ABS and CMBS was much more modest. These structures are backed by operating assets that have already been constructed, powered, and leased, with contractual cash flows largely established. Combined with a more measured pace of issuance, these characteristics helped insulate securitized credit products from the volatility seen in unsecured credit markets. The divergence across credit markets also reflects the differences in issuer incentives and sensitivity to funding costs, which will shape issuance volumes going forward. At the higher end of the quality spectrum, the major hyperscalers, with average ratings of roughly AA, combine substantial financing needs with significant ratings flexibility. Given their ROIC expectations, these issuers are relatively insensitive to modest changes in borrowing costs. Higher funding costs alone are unlikely to materially slow capital raising by the highest-quality participants in the AI ecosystem. The opposite is true further down the quality spectrum. Lower quality hyperscalers and data center developers, including former bitcoin miners and REITs, have less balance-sheet flexibility and lower tolerance for higher funding costs. For these borrowers, wider spreads represent a more meaningful constraint, making funding costs a natural stabilizer of future supply. The next phase of AI financing is also likely to look quite a bit different as incremental capex shifts from data center shells toward compute equipment, particularly servers and chips, as well as energy assets. While some of these assets have already been financed through high-yield bonds and leveraged loans, compute infrastructure is particularly well-suited to asset-level financing, creating a larger role for private capital. The emergence of large-scale component financing is likely to be enabled by the highest-quality issuers flexing their ratings as well as balance-sheet strength. We expect these issuers to increasingly provide backstops, credit support arrangements, and residual value guarantees, helping private capital underwrite ever-larger pools of AI infrastructure assets. As AI scales from a technology cycle into a capital cycle, understanding the nuances of financing is becoming increasingly important. In the next phase of the AI buildout, understanding the flow of capital may prove nearly as important as understanding the flow of innovation itself. AI is no longer just a technology story. It is increasingly a capital markets story as well. Thanks for listening.
