Interview with Nicholas Holthouse, MD & CEO, and Peter Ruse, Head of Corporate Development, Mont Royal ResourcesRecording date: 21st October 2025Mont Royal Resources (ASX:MRZ) is preparing to list on the Australian Securities Exchange on 5th November 2025, following its merger with Commerce Resources. The combined entity brings together North America's largest undeveloped rare earth deposit - the Ashram project in Quebec, Canada—with experienced management and a clear development strategy aimed at capitalizing on unprecedented Western government support for critical minerals.The Ashram deposit contains nearly 200 million tons of resource grading approximately 2% total rare earth oxide (TREO), supported by over 30,000 meters of drilling. What distinguishes the project is its exceptional metallurgical characteristics, with CEO Nicholas Holthouse noting the asset produces concentrates of 35-37% through strong flotation kinetics, a critical factor where many rare earth projects fail to deliver despite promising headline numbers.Holthouse, who brings eight years of rare earth sector experience including roles at Hastings Technology Metals and Meteoric Resources, will relocate to Montreal to oversee development. This on-site leadership approach mirrors the successful strategy employed by Michael O'Keefe at Champion Iron, also operating in Quebec.The company plans to scale operations to 1.2 million tons per year throughput, producing approximately 2,800-3,000 tons of NdPr annually, a "bite-sized chunk" attractive to separators while maintaining scalability for future expansion. The project also contains valuable fluorspar mineralization, contributing 10-15% of projected value and addressing North American supply shortages.The merged entity will comprise approximately 190 million shares at 20 cents per share with $10 million cash, creating an enterprise value of $25 million - compelling value for a resource of this scale. Near-term focus centers on securing government support for road infrastructure connecting the remote deposit to markets, leveraging Canada's recent commitment to allocate 1.5% of GDP specifically to critical mineral projects and associated infrastructure.View Mont Royal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mont-royal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the dance which, from when it reached Britain in the early nineteenth century, revolutionised the relationship between music, literature and people here for the next hundred years. While it may seem formal now, it was the informality and daring that drove its popularity, with couples holding each other as they spun round a room to new lighter music popularised by Johann Strauss, father and son, such as The Blue Danube. Soon the Waltz expanded the creative world in poetry, ballet, novellas and music, from the Ballets Russes of Diaghilev to Moon River and Are You Lonesome Tonight.

In need of reinforcements along their injured defensive line, the 49ers made a trade with the New England Patriots for defensive end Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick in exchange or a 2026 sixth-rounder. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how White bolsters a 49ers defensive line whose nine sacks are tied for the second-fewest among all NFL teams this season. Matt also sits down with NBC Sports Boston's Patriots insider Phil Perry to examine White's time with the organization as a former second-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a pivotal quarter for the company, highlighted by strong financial performance, expanding profit margins, and the successful integration of its latest acquisition, Eventdex. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Nextech3D.AI reported 20% sequential revenue growth and an impressive gross margin of 88%, marking a substantial 17-point improvement from 71% in the previous period. The company also saw deferred revenue surge by 186% year-over-year, climbing from $203,000 to $521,000, reflecting growing customer commitments and long-term contract value within its AI and event technology ecosystem. Gappelberg highlighted that the acquisition of Eventdex, which closed during the third quarter, represents a major catalyst in Nextech3D.AI's evolution. Eventdex, a well-established provider of event management software, generated approximately $700,000 in revenue in 2024 and brings with it a strong customer base, complementary SaaS offerings, and a recurring revenue model. Together with Nextech's Map D platform, the combined companies now serve more than 550 clients, offering a fully integrated suite of event technology solutions — including registration, ticketing, mobile apps, floor mapping, AI matchmaking, and blockchain ticketing. While total revenue declined 48% year-over-year to $390,755 from $756,476 in 2024, Gappelberg emphasized that this was a strategic and expected transition following the completion of Nextech's Amazon 3D modeling contract in late 2024. The conclusion of that contract allowed the company to pivot toward its higher-margin AI-powered and event-technology businesses, which are now driving sustainable revenue and profitability growth. Looking ahead, Nextech3D.AI plans to continue leveraging AI innovation across its ecosystem to enhance user experiences, drive operational efficiency, and expand cross-selling opportunities between its integrated platforms, positioning the company as a leader at the intersection of AI, 3D modeling, and event technology. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

What if your cybersecurity strategy could become your biggest sales advantage? In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Hersom, Founder and CEO of Eden Data, to explore how startups can transform compliance from a box-ticking exercise into a true growth engine. Taylor's journey is remarkable: a former Deloitte executive who quit his job the week before the world shut down, launched Eden Data on Upwork with just $16, and went on to build one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity advisory firms, now recently acquired by Riveron. His story blends grit, reinvention, and a deep understanding of how trust has become the real currency of modern business. We talk about how to safeguard customer data in an AI-first world and why shadow AI has become the new shadow IT problem for many companies. Taylor explains why cybersecurity can no longer sit in the IT department alone, sharing examples of how marketing and customer experience leaders are now leveraging security as a differentiator to win contracts and customer loyalty. He also opens up about the human side of cyber risk, why most breaches stem from simple mistakes, and how gamifying awareness training can be more effective than annual compliance videos no one remembers. As AI rapidly reshapes the digital landscape, Taylor shares his perspective on what future global standards for AI security could look like and how leaders can bake compliance and security into their products from day one. His view is clear: the next generation of successful startups will treat cybersecurity as both a foundation and a brand promise. How ready are you to make trust part of your growth strategy? And how will your business adapt as cybersecurity becomes not just a requirement, but a competitive edge? Share your thoughts after listening.

We're in what I like to call the Super Bowl of fundraising — that mad sprint to December 31st. Before you pour all your time and energy into your year-end campaign, I want to make sure you're not losing money through hidden leaks in your donor funnel. In this episode, I break down the four biggest leaks that cost nonprofits thousands every year — and how to fix them before the giving rush begins:1️⃣ Acquisition – why prospects might not even be paying attention to you.2️⃣ Conversion – how a confusing donation page can kill your momentum.3️⃣ Upgrade – the missed opportunities right under your nose.4️⃣ Retention – the biggest leak of them all.Plus, I'm sharing a free Holiday Giving Readiness Checklist to help you plug those leaks and set yourself up for a strong finish to the year.Important Links:Holiday Giving Readiness Checklist: https://go.rheawong.com/holidaygivingreadinesschecklist How to Train ChatGPT:  ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/annual-fundraising-plan-tracker1-3127-4300⁠ My Big Ask Gifts Program: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠ My Newsletter: ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠

The Army's top acquisition official told DefenseScoop that he expects to see further growth in resources for the service's FUZE initiative. FUZE, which was announced last month by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, combines elements of multiple technology innovation programs — including the xTech, Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR), ManTech, and Technology Maturation Initiative efforts — under a more integrated framework to accelerate the delivery of new capabilities to soldiers, according to the service. Driscoll has described it as the Army's “new cradle-to-grave capital funding model.” Driscoll said at the recent AUSA event that the Army's goal with FUZE is to contract with startups that have never, ever worked with the United States Army before in just 60 to 70 days. And for companies that the Army has worked with that have prototypes, the intent is to contract in 10 and start “soldier iterations in 30 to 45 days,” he said, adding, “We train like we fight. Acquisition should be no different.” The Army has already aligned $750 million to this model under FUZE, according to Driscoll. Next year, it plans to raise that slightly to $765 million. Brent Ingraham, the new assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology, said he anticipates that funding levels for those efforts will be higher in subsequent years. The federal judiciary has distributed interim guidance on artificial intelligence that allows for use of the technology, while also addressing procurement and security of the tools, according to a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee leadership that was made public Thursday. In correspondence to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts Director Judge Robert J. Conrad said an AI task force formed earlier this year developed the guidance and it was distributed to federal courts across the country July 31. Although the policy is a temporary measure while the courts work on more permanent guidance, courts can explore the budding technology in the meantime. Disclosure of the guidance came as part of a response to Grassley's inquiry about the use of AI in error-ridden orders from two federal judges. In addition to letters from the two judges admitting to clerks' use of generative AI tools and assurances that they'd implemented measures to prevent future issues, Conrad provided detail on the broader efforts to address the technology within the third branch and the balance between use and risk management. A spokesperson for the judiciary declined to share a copy of the guidance with FedScoop. Conrad, however, provided a description of its scope to Grassley.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by Erin Silver Lee, the CEO of Flow Neuroscience. We dig into some seriously cool stuff — including Flow's recent acquisition of the Halo device, which uses non-invasive brain stimulation (TDCS) to boost both athletic and mental performance.Erin and I talk about how this tech works, what the current research says, and how it's being applied to improve focus, sleep, neuroplasticity, and overall brain health. We also get into the real-world side of things — from navigating FDA regulations to running clinical trials and shaping the future of personalized brain optimization.If you're curious about where neuroscience meets performance — and how safe, evidence-based brain stimulation might fit into the next generation of recovery and training tools — you'll want to check this one out.Sponsors:Beyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Tecton Ketone Esters: https://tectonketones.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:38 Background on Halo Device and Flow Neuroscience01:50 Acquisition and Technology Insights02:09 FDA Regulation and Consumer Approval06:02 New Device Focus and User Benefits07:29 Device Design and Usage08:45 Impact on Sleep and Mental Performance16:17 Personalization and Future Developments26:06 Focus and Concentration Benefits29:33 Navigating FDA Regulations30:35 Depression Treatment Success in Europe30:51 Challenges with Regulatory Approval31:50 Real-World Success and Halo Product Launch33:23 Navigating FDA Approval and Bias42:45 Clinical Trials and Expanding Indications51:25 Brain Health and Personal Practices55:33 Podcast Conclusion and Listener Information Flex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 346: From Navy SEAL to Neuroscience: Dr. Blaine Lints on Ibogaine and PerformanceYouTube: https://youtu.be/8UNGgyqBWm0 Episode 241: A New Perspective on Brain Health with Dr. Shaun KornfeldYouTube: https://youtu.be/1HcgPp6Wz7QConnect with Flow Neuroscience:Website: https://www.haloneuroscience.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/halo.neuroscienceYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HaloNeuroscienceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/halo-neuroscience/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halo.neuro/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

“Rules of Acquisition” 30th-anniversary reflections Word is there's profit o' plenty in the Gamma Quadrant, and the Grand Nagus wants a piece of it. And who better to send as chief negotiator than Quark? But never forget the 48th Rule of Acquisition: “The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.” Quark's new waiter, Pel, thinks Zek is setting him up to take the blame if a deal for the totally reasonable ask of 100,000 vats of tulaberry wine falls through. Thankfully for Quark, he won't be alone at the table, because Pel turns out to be more than a waiter. He's a skilled entrepreneur. And a she. Despite their combined negotiating prowess, Quark and Pel return without the wine. But they aren't entirely empty-handed. They have the memory of an awkward kiss and information about some group called The Dominion. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Rules of Acquisition,”what the story says about identity, how it sets up The Dominion, and how DS9 makes the Ferengi matter.

Acquisition gets all the attention. Retention pays the bills.In this episode of Marketing Mindset, Jordan Narducci and Sebastian Williams unpack how DTC brands can move from chasing new customers to building loyalty that lasts.We dive into:

In this episode, I sit down with Frank Kendall and talk about one of the biggest traps in defense procurement — the endless search for “acquisition magic.” Frank exposes why every few years, someone promises a revolutionary new system to fix everything — and why those reforms almost always fail. From $30 billion MRAP programs that saved lives but were later abandoned, to R&D overruns averaging 25%, he lays out a brutally honest framework for how the government should manage risk, cost, and speed the right way. Key Takeaways: There's no such thing as acquisition magic — sustainable improvement comes from training, data, and risk management. The MRAP program cost $30B but proved that taking calculated risk can save lives when done strategically. Defense R&D programs average 25% overruns — but smart leadership can bring that down to 10% without killing innovation. Learn more: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ https://govcongiants.org/

On today's Land Warfare Series program, sponsored American Rheinmetall, Lt. Gen. Dave Bassett, USA Ret., the former director of the Defense Contract Management Agency who is now a senior advisor with the Cohen Group consultancy, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the government shutdown; the impact of Pentagon and Army acquisition reforms aimed at accelerating fielding of capabilities and reducing their cost; the resurgence of the Lead Systems Integrator approach to vest greater control with industry as government workforce is trimmed; the Army's drive to put soldiers at the heart of shaping future capabilities; after a legacy of abortive land vehicle modernization efforts, how the service can ensure that the XM30 program is a success; and roles that only the government can play in the defense industrial ecosystem. Our coverage of AUSA is sponsored by Lockheed Martin.

Welcome back to Intellicast! On today's episode, Brian is joined by Gabby Blados to cover one of the busiest news weeks the insights industry has had in a while, featuring a billion-dollar merger, a major leadership shake-up, and plenty of questions about what's next. The episode kicks off with the biggest headline of the week: Qualtrics' announcement that it plans to acquire Press Ganey Forsta for over $6 billion. Brian and Gabby dive into what this means for the market research world, especially as two of the most widely used survey programming platforms — Qualtrics and Decipher — will soon fall under one roof. Brian wonders if this level of consolidation could raise antitrust or competition concerns within the industry, while Gabby reflects on what this might mean for current Decipher users, including EMI. They also explore whether this deal might spark a new wave of innovation from smaller, niche platforms looking to position themselves as alternatives to the latest “industry Goliath.” Next, Brian and Gabby turn their attention to the surprising news that dropped the same morning — Melanie Courtright, CEO of the Insights Association, is stepping down after five years to join Sego as Chief Strategy Officer. Both agree that this was a major surprise for many across the industry. The pair discusses Melanie's strong legacy with the Insights Association, including how she unified chapters, modernized the association's structure, and strengthened its position as the leading voice for research professionals. Gabby and Brian share their excitement for her new role at Sego, while also speculating about what comes next for IA's leadership and the direction the organization will take. In between these two major headlines, Brian and Gabby also touch on a few other key stories — including the Census Bureau's recent layoffs and their potential implications for data accuracy, and new developments in the ongoing conversation around data quality and AI-driven fraud detection. And because no episode would be complete without a little fun, they close out the episode by ranking their top Halloween candies. Thanks for tuning in!
