Psychologist Dr. John Gartner joins Joanna Coles to dissect Donald Trump's latest White House speech and explain why its manic pace, rigid teleprompter discipline, and sheer velocity alarm mental health professionals. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Gartner argues that Trump's hypomania, malignant narcissism, and advancing dementia are no longer abstract theories but visible patterns—accelerating, measurable, and increasingly unmanaged. They examine why repeated cognitive tests suggest monitoring decline rather than routine screening, and how sleepless nights, impulsive decisions, and compulsive posting point to a leader edging toward a cognitive cliff.

One of the questions I think about constantly is what actually makes a machine shop valuable. Not just today, but five, ten, or even twenty years down the road. It's easy to point to machines, revenue, or backlog, but the real drivers of long-term value usually run much deeper. That's exactly why I wanted to sit down with Jamie Goettler, Chief Revenue Officer of BTX Precision, for this episode of Machine Shop Mastery. BTX Precision is one of the fastest-growing advanced manufacturing platforms in the country. Jamie brings a rare blend of perspectives to the conversation. With more than two decades at MSC Industrial Supply, deep experience in innovation and machining technology, and now a front-row seat to platform growth through acquisition, he understands what separates shops that simply survive from those that truly thrive. In our conversation, we dig into what BTX looks for when acquiring companies. We talk about why capability, cleanliness, people, and culture matter more than ever. We also cover the metrics that actually signal business health, including book-to-bill, customer concentration, technology adoption, and employee engagement. Jamie shares how BTX balances scale with continuity, keeping individual business units intact while supporting them with capital, leadership, and shared resources. We also explore where manufacturing is headed next. From the real inflection point happening in additive manufacturing to the growing importance of cybersecurity and CMMC compliance, this episode covers issues every shop leader needs to be thinking about right now. Whether you plan to sell your business someday or simply want to build a stronger one, this conversation offers practical insight into how sophisticated manufacturers are positioning themselves for the future.

Broadcom's (AVGO) earnings was a report Kim Forrest liked but believes the stock sold off when guidance didn't "exceed greatly." She adds that A.I. data center buildout will take more time than investors expect, pointing to a delay in an Oracle (ORCL) data center meant for OpenAI. @morningstar's William Kerwin sees the sell-off as a vast overreaction. He backs Kim's point that A.I. buildout will take time but sees Broadcom's earnings as proof the A.I. race will only gain speed. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this final part of my three-episode series on accelerating sales and adoption in B2B analytics and AI products, I unpack a growing challenge in the age of generative AI: what to do when your product automates a major chunk of a user's workflow only to reveal an entirely new problem right behind it. Building on Part I and Part II, I look at how AI often collapses the “front half” of a process, pushing the more complex, value-heavy work directly to users. This raises critical questions about product scope, market readiness, competitive risks, and whether you should expand your solution to tackle these newly surfaced problems or stay focused and validate what buyers will actually pay for. I also discuss why achieving customer delight—not mere satisfaction—is essential for earning trust, reducing churn, and creating the conditions where customers become engaged design partners. Finally, I highlight the common pitfalls of DIY product design and why intentional, validated UX work is so important, especially when AI is changing how work gets done faster than ever.   Highlights/ Skip to: Finishing the journey: staying focused, delighting users, and intentional UX (00:35) AI solves problems—and can create new ones for your customers—now what? (2:17) Do AI products have to solve your customers' downstream “tomorrow” problems too before they'll pay? (6:24)  Questions that reveal whether buyers will pay for expanded scope (6:45) UX outcomes: moving customers from satisfied to delighted before tackling new problems  (8:11) How obtaining “delight” status in the customer's mind creates trust, lock-in, and permission to build the next solution (9:54) Designing experiences with intention (not hope) as AI changes workflows (10:40) My “Ten Risks of DIY Product Design…” — why DIY UX often causes self-inflicted friction (11:46)   Links Listen to part I: Episode 182 and part two: Episode 183 Read: “Ten Risks of DIY Product Design On Sales And Adoption Of B2B Data Products”  Stop guessing what is blocking your own product's adoption and sales: Schedule a Design-Eyes Assessment with me, and in 90 minutes, I'll diagnose whether you're facing a design problem, a product management gap, a positioning issue, or something else entirely.

Key TakeawaysCommunity involvement: Mary is a member of the programming committee board this year and will be attending the AI Agent & Copilot Summit, taking place from March 17th to 19th in San Diego, California. Working in the real estate industry, Mary acknowledges that, like individuals in all industries, there's a lot of AI transformations happening right now. "Being involved in this broader community is really exciting and energizing," she says.Summit expectations: She reports momentum as it gets closer to the event, like the number of responses to the call for speakers. "There's a big focus on real people figuring out and solving real problems with agents and Copilot," she notes. "Attendees can really expect a mix of hands-on learning and bigger picture conversations." Members of the community are curious, collaborative, and excited to share, so there's a lot for attendees to look forward to.Clear takeaways and diverse perspectives: Whether you're coming from a business team or a technical team, there's something that everyone can walk away with and implement, providing a "clarity of takeaways." The AI Agent & Copilot Summit also provides a "diversity of perspectives," which Mary considers to be very important. "I think we're looking for a mix of developers, business leaders, consultants, power users, and people who are just getting started to really get that diversity of thought and perspective."Overcoming challenges: One of the biggest challenges right now, Mary suggests, is the pressure to figure out how to adopt AI. Many leaders are looking to bridge the gaps between where to start, learning, and taking action. It's not just about teaching the tools or determining how to prompt better. "It's about shifting habits and thinking and mindsets," Mary says. "It's change management and how we make AI feel more approachable." Early adopters are able to pass on their experiences and accelerate the learning curve for attendees. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Beta-glucans might be one of the most overlooked levers in immune resilience, and that has major implications for longevity. Talking with my long-time friends and colleagues Drs. Bob Rountree and Chris D'Adamo reminded me just how powerful this molecule truly is. The clinical reach here is stunning, from immune aging and cancer support to vaccine response, gut–brain effects, and overall resilience. What struck me most is how beta-glucans help the innate immune system respond more effectively over time, from overtraining and chronic infections to vaccine responsiveness. Clinicians really need this on their radar. I think you're going to find this conversation eye-opening. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Susan Fahy notes that average credit scores are around 701, calling the consumer “resilient” overall. However, lower-income consumer delinquencies are rising, driven by persistent inflation, labor market softening and limited access to credit. Susan also breaks it down by generation, highlighting Gen X's accelerating delinquencies; mortgage credit delinquencies are showing the biggest increase. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this second part of my three-part series (catch Part I via episode 182), I dig deeper into the key idea that sales in commercial data products can be accelerated by designing for actual user workflows—vs. going wide with a “many-purpose” AI and analytics solution that “does more,” but is misaligned with how users' most important work actually gets done.   To explain this, I will explain the concept of user experience (UX) outcomes, and how building your solution to enable these outcomes may be a dependency for you to get sales traction, and for your customer to see the value of your solution. I also share practical steps to improve UX outcomes in commercial data products, from establishing a baseline definition of UX quality to mapping out users' current workflows (and future ones, when agentic AI changes their job). Finally, I talk about how approaching product development as small “bets” helps you build small, and learn fast so you can accelerate value creation.    Highlights/ Skip to: Continuing the journey: designing for users, workflows, and tasks (00:32) How UX impacts sales—not just usage and  adoption(02:16) Understanding how you can leverage users' frustrations and perceived risks as fuel for building an indispensable data product (04:11)  Definition of a UX outcome (7:30) Establishing a baseline definition of product (UX) quality, so you know how to observe and measure improvement (11:04 ) Spotting friction and solving the right customer problems first (15:34) Collecting actionable user feedback (20:02) Moving users along the scale from frustration to satisfaction to delight (23:04) Unique challenges of designing B2B AI and analytics products used for decision intelligence (25:04) Quotes from Today's Episode One of the hardest parts of building anything meaningful, especially in B2B or data-heavy spaces, is pausing long enough to ask what the actual ‘it' is that we're trying to solve. People rush into building the fix, pitching the feature, or drafting the roadmap before they've taken even a moment to define what the user keeps tripping over in their day-to-day environment.   And until you slow down and articulate that shared, observable frustration, you're basically operating on vibes and assumptions instead of behavior and reality.   What you want is not a generic problem statement but an agreed-upon description of the two or three most painful frictions that are obvious to everyone involved, frictions the user experiences visibly and repeatedly in the flow of work.   Once you have that grounding, everything else prioritization, design decisions, sequencing, even organizational alignment suddenly becomes much easier because you're no longer debating abstractions, you're working against the same measurable anchor.   And the irony is, the faster you try to skip this step, the longer the project drags on, because every downstream conversation becomes a debate about interpretive language rather than a conversation about a shared, observable experience. __ Want people to pay for your product? Solve an *observable* problem—not a vague information or data problem. What do I mean? “When you're trying to solve a problem for users, especially in analytical or AI-driven products, one of the biggest traps is relying on interpretive statements instead of observable ones.   Interpretive phrasing like ‘they're overwhelmed' or ‘they don't trust the data' feels descriptive, but it hides the important question of what, exactly, we can see them doing that signals the problem.   If you can't film it happening, if you can't watch the behavior occur in real time, then you don't actually have a problem definition you can design around.   Observable frustration might be the user jumping between four screens, copying and pasting the same value into different systems, or re-running a query five times because something feels off even though they can't articulate why.   Those concrete behaviors are what allow teams to converge and say, ‘Yes, that's the thing, that is the friction we agree must change,' and that shift from interpretation to observation becomes the foundation for better design, better decision-making, and far less wasted effort.   And once you anchor the conversation in visible behavior, you eliminate so many circular debates and give everyone, from engineering to leadership, a shared starting point that's grounded in reality instead of theory." __ One of the reasons that measuring the usability/utility/satisfaction of your product's UX might seem hard is that you don't have a baseline definition of how satisfactory (or not) the product is right now. As such, it's very hard to tell if you're just making product *changes*—or you're making *improvements* that might make the product worth paying for at all, worth paying more for, or easier to buy. "It's surprisingly common for teams to claim they're improving something when they've never taken the time to document what the current state even looks like. If you want to create a meaningful improvement, something a user actually feels, you need to understand the baseline level of friction they tolerate today, not what you imagine that friction might be. Establishing a baseline is not glamorous work, but it's the work that prevents you from building changes that make sense on paper but do nothing to the real flow of work. When you diagram the existing workflow, when you map the sequence of steps the user actually takes, the mismatches between your mental model and their lived experience become crystal clear, and the design direction becomes far less ambiguous. That act of grounding yourself in the current state allows every subsequent decision, prioritizing fixes, determining scope, measuring progress, to be aligned with reality rather than assumptions. And without that baseline, you risk designing solutions that float in conceptual space, disconnected from the very pains you claim to be addressing." __ Prototypes are a great way to learn—if you're actually treating them as a means to learn, and not a product you intend to deliver regardless of the feedback customers give you.  "People often think prototyping is about validating whether their solution works, but the deeper purpose is to refine the problem itself. Once you put even a rough prototype in front of someone and watch what they do with it, you discover the edges of the problem more accurately than any conversation or meeting can reveal. Users will click in surprising places, ignore the part you thought mattered most, or reveal entirely different frictions just by trying to interact with the thing you placed in front of them. That process doesn't just improve the design, it improves the team's understanding of which parts of the problem are real and which parts were just guesses. Prototyping becomes a kind of externalization of assumptions, forcing you to confront whether you're solving the friction that actually holds back the flow of work or a friction you merely predicted. And every iteration becomes less about perfecting the interface and more about sharpening the clarity of the underlying problem, which is why the teams that prototype early tend to build faster, with better alignment, and far fewer detours." __ Most founders and data people tend to measure UX quality by “counting usage” of their solution. Tracking usage stats, analytics on sessions, etc. The problem with this is that it tells you nothing useful about whether people are satisfied (“meets spec”) or delighted (“a product they can't live without”). These are product metrics—but they don't reflect how people feel. There are better measurements to use for evaluating users' experience that go beyond “willingness to pay.”  Payment is great, but in B2B products, buyers aren't always users—and we've all bought something based on the promise of what it would do for us, but the promise fell short. "In B2B analytics and AI products, the biggest challenge isn't complexity, it's ambiguity around what outcome the product is actually responsible for changing.   Teams often define success in terms of internal goals like ‘adoption,' ‘usage,' or ‘efficiency,' but those metrics don't tell you what the user's experience is supposed to look like once the product is working well.   A product tied to vague business outcomes tends to drift because no one agrees on what the improvement should feel like in the user's real workflow.   What you want are visible, measurable, user-centric outcomes, outcomes that describe how the user's behavior or experience will change once the solution is in place, down to the concrete actions they'll no longer need to take.   When you articulate outcomes at that level, it forces the entire organization to align around a shared target, reduces the scope bloat that normally plagues enterprise products, and gives you a way to evaluate whether you're actually removing friction rather than just adding more layers of tooling.   And ironically, the clearer the user outcome is, the easier it becomes to achieve the business outcome, because the product is no longer floating in abstraction, it's anchored in the lived reality of the people who use it."   Links Listen to part one: Episode 182  Schedule a Design-Eyes Assessment with me and get clarity, now.

What happens when innovation is shaping your life in ways you never see? That is the question at the heart of this conversation with Portia Lane Child, Director of Innovation and Strategy Services at BAE Systems.  While most of us recognise the consumer brands that dominate our daily world, far fewer realise how deeply companies like BAE Systems influence the systems that keep us connected, protected, and moving. Portia's work lives in that fascinating space, where advanced engineering meets national mission, and where the innovations you never hear about are often the ones shaping your future. During our discussion, Portia shares how she helps steer innovation inside one of the world's most complex aerospace and defence organisations. She talks about the human side of innovating within a massive enterprise, the challenge of moving ideas across technical and organisational silos, and the lessons she learned growing up as a lobster fisherman's daughter that still guide how she builds teams and champions new ideas.  Her story about creating an internal accelerator that changed how the business nurtures ideas is a powerful reminder that innovation only takes root when people feel supported to experiment, communicate, and stretch beyond familiar boundaries. We also explore the shifting incentives shaping today's innovators, from the pressure of short-term financial cycles to the growing importance of longer horizons in the age of AI. Portia opens up about what it really takes to move from idea to impact inside a mission-driven organisation, why customer conversations matter more than ever, and how modern innovators can develop the resilience and curiosity needed to operate in fast-moving technical environments. My guest also shares inspiring reflections on the inventions that shaped her, the role models who sparked her imagination, and the breakthroughs she believes the world needs most.  

Most founders think VCs want a pitch deck full of market numbers, a roadmap, and a feel-good story about the future. Hoxton Ventures Partner Payton Dobbs isn't looking for any of that. He wants to know if you actually understand the game you're trying to play. In this conversation, Payton breaks down the tactical stuff founders almost always get wrong: why TAM slides don't matter how to define your real market what early signals prove you have a painkiller and not a vitamin and why most technical founders fail their first go-to-market quiz before the conversation even begins. He also talks about category creation, how to hire in the U.S. if you're coming from Europe, why pricing is a strategic weapon, and the number-one question he asks every founder — the one that quietly decides whether you're playing at venture scale or not. If you're an early-stage builder, this episode will help you level up before you start meeting with VCs.

The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 02: Fiat's Final Days & AI Job Apocalypse | Larry Lepard, Dr. Bob Murphy, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandDr. Bob Murphy (NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, former Contra Krugman host) joins Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland for the most explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode yet. From the very first minutes the gloves come off: fiat's 100-year Keynesian experiment is mathematically doomed, AI is already wiping out entry-level jobs overnight, robots are on track to rival nation-states, and deflationary technology just made debt-based money impossible to sustain. Larry drops the hammer (“the whole experiment is about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”), Bob Murphy calmly explains why Bitcoin proves you don't need the state to have money, and the crew debates UBI inevitability, spend-and-replace adoption strategies, and why BlackRock & nation-states are suddenly begging for Bitcoin.This is the red-pill episode you send to every boomer, uncle, or normie who still thinks the dollar is fine. If you want the intellectual ammo to orange-pill anyone over the holidays, this is it.Key Topics:Why fiat is now mathematically unsustainableAI silently killing entry-level hiring todayRobots rivaling nation-states in powerDeflationary tech destroying debt-based moneyBitcoin proves you don't need government to issue moneyThe regression theorem tragedy that cost Austrians millionsUBI is politically unstoppableGreenspan's private confession: being Fed Chair was “absolutely intoxicating”Spend-and-replace vs pure HODL debateBlackRock begging for Bitcoin — Bob's biggest 2025 shock20% Bitcoin discount at the CrossFit gym storyWhy the next 100 M users could arrive in monthsChapters:00:00:00 Cold Open – The end of fiat has begun00:01:11 Welcome Dr. Bob Murphy & Bob Burnett00:03:20 Why economics has warring schools00:12:17 MMT exposed00:19:16 Larry: “It's about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”00:26:26 AI already killing entry-level jobs00:33:46 UBI is coming — politically impossible to stop00:39:50 Robots will rival nation-states00:43:10 Deflation just killed debt-based money00:46:48 “Bitcoin proved you don't need the state to issue money”00:52:31 The regression theorem tragedy00:55:21 Spend-and-replace debate01:00:41 Real-world Bitcoin adoption stories01:04:38 BlackRock begging for Bitcoin01:10:57 “I cannot believe we got here this fast”Guest : Dr. Robert Murphy (@BobMurphyEcon) – NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, Chief Economist at InfinitoWebsite: https://www.bobmurphyshow.com/Hosts:Lawrence Lepard (@LawrenceLepard): Sound money advocate, fund manager, author of "The Big Print" Bob Burnett (@boomer_btc): Bitcoin evangelist, Founder/CEO of Barefoot Mining, former CTO at Gateway Inc.

Mike Pell is an author, an artist and the director of the Microsoft Garage, the worldwide innovation program where he applies “fast design” principles to bring ideas to prototypes quickly. Mike's hackathons scale to include 10,000 participants.  Mike tells the Futurists how artificial intelligence systems accelerate ideation during the innovation process.  The challenge: managing a team of AI agents will require human workers to adapt to entirely new processes and discard some outdated practices. Visualization is one of the key elements in Mike's approach to this process, as conveyed in his recent book, “Visualizing Business”.
