What does the future of Bitcoin mining actually look like? This week, Fred Thiel joins Coin Stories for a candid, wide-ranging conversation. Fred runs MARA (formerly Marathon Digital Holdings), one of the biggest public Bitcoin miners in the world. We get into why so many miners are pivoting to AI, what it means for Bitcoin, and his honest, big-picture read on where Bitcoin fits as an asset — including why he says power, not chips, has become the most valuable resource in tech, and why that puts some miners in a surprisingly strong position. We discuss: Why Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI — and what it means for the network Why Fred has put Bitcoin "in a different box" The story behind MARA selling 20,000 Bitcoin Where he sees Bitcoin's price versus its long-term value His candid take on whether Bitcoin ever becomes money The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin wallets Follow Fred Thiel on X: https://x.com/fgthiel ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

Nach den tausenden Reaktionen auf unser ADHS-Reel widmen Jenke und Jánik dem Thema diesmal eine ganze Folge. Sie sprechen über ADHS, ADS, Neurodivergenz und Hochsensibilität und über die Frage, warum sich aktuell so viele Menschen mit diesen Themen beschäftigen. Ist ADHS eine Superkraft, eine Belastung oder vielleicht beides? Und warum gehen die Meinungen dazu so weit auseinander? Außerdem lesen die beiden Kommentare aus der Community vor und diskutieren persönliche Erfahrungen, Vorurteile und Missverständnisse rund um das Thema. Wichtig: Sowohl Jenke als auch Jánik befinden sich aktuell selbst in einer ADHS-Diagnostik. Zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme kennen beide ihre Ergebnisse noch nicht. Eine Folge über Aufmerksamkeit, Reizüberflutung, Hyperfokus, Diagnosen, Selbstverständnis und die Frage, warum ADHS heute mehr Menschen beschäftigt denn je. #adhs #ads #neurodivergenz #jenke #jenkeextrememomente

David Hunter says stocks have another 30% of upside left — and then the biggest crash since 1929. This week the veteran contrarian returns with his most specific targets yet. David lays out the melt-up he's been calling for, the global bust he thinks follows it, and the staggering amount of money he believes central banks will have to print to dig us out. He also shares his gold and silver targets, and gives his honest (and bearish) read on Bitcoin. We discuss: His targets: S&P: 10,000, Nasdaq: 36,000, Dow: 70,000, Russell: 4,000 — and why he just raised them  Why he sees an 80% bear market coming, not a normal recession The $20 trillion the Fed may be forced to print Why 25% inflation could hit by the early 2030s Gold to $7,000, silver to $200 — then far higher next cycle His bearish Bitcoin call — and what would change his mind The one signal he watches to know the top is in Whether you agree with David or not, few people lay out a case this clearly.

No more getting old talk on the show, except for WW2 podcasts hosted by Tom Hanks. Figuring out how to be the man of the house. Ads will kill the vibe of anything you're watching or listening to. A Nolan retrospect: no it's not ass kissing at all (quite the opposite). Directors with multiple watch films. Mr Munch from the Chuck E Cheese gang kinda fucking sucks.

Helium 10 releases a super-powerful MCP that will revolutionize the way you manage your Amazon accounts. New data shows that AI and Alexa for shopping have not decreased the number of people using the Amazon search bar to enter keywords.   We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Helium 10's new MCP is changing the way Amazon sellers research, analyze, and take action on marketplace data by connecting Helium 10 directly with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Now available to Diamond and above users, the Helium 10 MCP lets sellers ask natural-language questions and instantly pull insights from tools like Black Box, Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads, without manually downloading reports or switching between multiple dashboards. In this episode, Bradley Sutton shows how sellers can uncover product opportunities, analyze competitor keyword rankings, review historical Brand Analytics and Cerebro data, and build smarter advertising strategies in minutes instead of hours. For more Helium 10 MCP strategies, skills, and advanced seller workflows, follow Bradley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast/ and follow Bradley Sutton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/h10bradley/   TikTok Shop Bans AI Voices From Live Commerce Streams: Violations Now Dent Account Health Score https://www.techtimes.com/articles/320624/20260715/tiktok-shop-bans-ai-voices-live-commerce-streams-violations-now-dent-account-health-score.htm New Data Proves Amazon Keyword Searches Have NOT Been Replaced by Alexa! Bradley Sutton breaks down a new Helium 10 research study analyzing whether Rufus, now Alexa for shopping, has significantly changed how shoppers search for products on Amazon. Despite the growing conversation around AI replacing traditional keyword search, the data shows that Amazon search volume, clicks, and conversion behavior have remained largely consistent from 2024 through 2026, with no major shift away from keyword-based shopping. While Alexa for shopping may be useful for product discovery when shoppers are unsure what they want, Bradley explains that most buyers still use the search bar when they already know what they are looking for, making keyword research and listing optimization just as important as ever. The key takeaway: sellers should not ignore Rufus/Alexa for Shopping optimization, especially for listing questions and product-page interactions, but traditional keywords are far from dead. To see the full breakdown and data behind this study, read Bradley's full blog here: https://www.helium10.com/blog/breaking-news-amazon-keyword-search-is-alive-well/ Amazon Seller Central News: Use new pallet delivery ship option for your business customers https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHRDhCQUg1UlkyV1hGQkE1 New Feature Alert!

Dave also dives into listener emails about 2C drugs, psychedelic chemistry, his latest obsession with air fryer chicken thighs, and his fantasy "ultimate junkie cocktail"—before quickly reminding everyone how grateful he is to be sober.   Then comes a fascinating deep dive into the lives of Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Dickey Betts, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, and the complicated relationship between genius, addiction, recovery, and music.   Alan shares remarkable stories about Stevie Ray Vaughan's dedication to Alcoholics Anonymous, how his recovery inspired countless musicians to get sober, the Allman Brothers' heroin use, the infamous Scooter Herring drug trial that nearly destroyed the band, Duane Allman's opposition to shooting heroin despite using it himself, and Greg Allman's controversial testimony that fractured relationships throughout the rock world.   The conversation also explores psychedelic culture, the legendary mushroom logo, Eat a Peach, Dickey Betts' complexity, Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and why some of rock's greatest musicians remain endlessly fascinating decades after their deaths.

Stop starting from zero every morning. Build a Claude project that acts as a living knowledge bank for your business and every piece of copy, strategy and decision gets better the longer you use it.In this episode of The Unlock, Oliver Bruce breaks down why most businesses get zero compounding value from AI, how to build a Claude Projects workspace that acts as a second brain, and the iteration loop that makes that knowledge bank smarter over time.Most businesses use AI like a search engine. Every morning you open a new chat, spend 20 minutes explaining your context, get something usable, then repeat it tomorrow. That is not leverage. That is Groundhog Day. AI outputs sound robotic because the model has no context for what you stand for or what you have tried before.The fix is Claude Projects. A project is a dedicated workspace where you upload your core business documentation and train the model on how your business actually operates. Oliver shares how he did this at Pinpoint Media, uploading brand guidelines, tone of voice docs, case studies, onboarding materials and sales call transcripts, then writing a master prompt that turned the project into a strategic sparring partner rather than a yes machine.The real power is iteration. Every campaign result and strategic breakthrough gets dropped back into the project, so it compounds into a living record of what works. It also lets new senior hires quiz the project on day one and compress months of onboarding into days.Oliver shares the five step playbook. Gather your foundational documents. Create the project and upload them. Write the master prompt. Use it for a week and refine. Then feed it results to get the compounding effect.Key topics covered: Why most businesses get zero compounding value from AI Why starting from a blank chat every day kills your leverage How Claude Projects works as a second brain for your business Which documents to upload and which to leave out How to write a master system prompt that pushes back How a knowledge bank compresses months of onboarding into days The five step playbook for building your business brain The iteration loop that makes the project smarter over time Key takeaway: Stop starting from zero. Build your brain, feed it with data, and never explain who you are again.Sponsored by Incard. Sign up now. All your finances. One platform.

Who's really buying Bitcoin right now -- and why aren't more people paying attention? This week on Coin Stories, Natalie sits down with Julian Liniger, co-founder and CEO of Relai, Europe's leading Bitcoin-only exchange, live at BTC Prague. After onboarding more than 100,000 Europeans to Bitcoin, Julian has a rare, ground-level view of who's actually buying — and it's not who you'd expect. He shares what his data reveals about everyday people turning to Bitcoin, why European savers feel squeezed, why retail interest has gone quiet, and where he thinks the price goes from here. We discuss: The surprising kind of person quietly buying the most Bitcoin in Europe The one thing that always brings retail buyers rushing back Why Julian thinks the worst is behind us in this bear market— and how high he sees Bitcoin going next The mindset that keeps people "too late" to Bitcoin, over and over Julian's plan to turn a Bitcoin app into a billion-dollar public company ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

Xbox just laid off thousands, spun off four studios, and cancelled games it had defended a day earlier. Greg Posner and games-industry analyst Colan Neese take apart Microsoft's restructuring memo and land on an uncomfortable read: this wasn't a bad week, it was the bill coming due for a decade of running gaming as a lifestyle business.They dig into the losses (64 cents gone on every dollar spent), the decision to starve Minecraft to prop up everything else, the Game Pass numbers that never made the memo, and the blame pie: how much lands on Phil Spencer, and how much on CEO Satya Nadella. Then they split hard on the future. Colan makes the case that the fix is an ad-funded, one-to-one discovery engine. Greg goes down swinging for a different read of why players won't leave the games they already know.Two live games along the way: ranking Microsoft's biggest IP by revenue (and where the AI got it wrong), and an invest-or-sell round on Xbox's dormant franchises.In this episode(0:00) Cold open, and the week that broke Xbox(9:00) The layoffs and studio spin-offs: Avowed cancelled, a new Fallout greenlit(11:54) The memo: losing 64 cents on every dollar, and starving Minecraft(18:15) Phil Spencer, the "wayward son with a credit card"(19:07) Restructuring, and the Game Pass numbers that never got named(23:49) Colan's "script for Asha Sharma," and why Xbox is a distant fifth platform(29:24) The pitch: ad rev-share, the way YouTube pays creators(32:00) Game: rank Microsoft's biggest IP by revenue(37:35) Game: invest or sell Xbox's dormant franchises(44:49) The blame pie: how much is on Satya Nadella(49:56) The debate: is discovery broken, or are players just comfortable?(1:09:00) Games for Change NYC, and what's nextQuotablesColan Neese: "You lost 64 cents on a dollar, and you took from the profitable engine that was Minecraft."Colan Neese: "Ads are just content.

How did a European Amazon seller use AI, logistics, keyword data, and Helium 10 to scale millions without selling in the U.S.? Today's guest reveals the hidden plays most sellers overlook. ► Watch The Podcasts On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes Bartłomiej Piątkowski, better known as Bart, an Amazon seller and agency operator from Poland who has sold millions in Europe and helped other brands do the same. What makes his story especially interesting is that he has built this success without selling his own products in the U.S. marketplace. Bart's journey started far from the typical e-commerce path. Trained as a cook, he then worked in radio and electronics, and discovered Amazon in 2016 when his company was on the verge of shutting down. With only a small amount of money left, he began learning about Amazon through online communities, moved returned inventory from retail into Amazon Europe, and realized that marketplace margins could beat traditional retail margins. From there, his business expanded into private label brands, reselling, packaging products, textiles, and managing major brand relationships across Europe. The conversation gets tactical as Bart breaks down how his team uses Helium 10, AI, keyword data, and advertising automation to move faster. He explains how tools like Cerebro, Magnet, Search Query Performance, Helium 10 Ads, and the all-new Helium 10 MCP help his team understand how Amazon reads a catalog, identify keyword opportunities, adjust bids based on performance, and even research hundreds of products in a fraction of the time. He also shares launch strategies using lower starting prices, Vine, coupons, inserts, and social proof to help products gain momentum. Bart also reveals why logistics, mobile-first listings, and category attributes are becoming major advantages for sellers in Europe. From sending inventory directly into destination countries for faster Prime delivery to optimizing listings for mobile shoppers and browser filters, his message is clear: success on Amazon is no longer about doing one thing well. It is about connecting data, operations, AI, and customer behavior into one smarter system. For sellers willing to adapt, automate, and think strategically, this episode is a reminder that the next level of growth may come from fixing the invisible parts of the business others ignore.

Brian Wilson joins Dan to talk about the sudden death of Senator Graham, and Dan talks Ads and Polls | aired on Monday, July 13th, 2026 on Nashville's Morning News with Dan Mandis Produced by Samuel RutherfordSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd devotes much of this episode to a rich, personal reflection on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham at 71 — a figure who can only be understood if you separate the ideologues from the pure politicians, because Graham was unambiguously the latter. Graham always wanted to be in the middle of the Republican Party, treated his Senate seat as something as precious to him as a spouse, and was a genuine political creature who could nonetheless work with everyone, partnering with both Trump and Obama across his career. Chuck shares personal memories — interviewing Graham alongside John McCain, the two of them giving outsized attention to the Steele Dossier; Graham losing his parents in his 20s and raising his 13-year-old sister; even reassuring Chuck’s own wife about her worries over Trump — and argues that Graham, for all his capitulations, actually served as one of the few moderating forces on Trump. He lays out the very real political fallout: Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General is now in serious jeopardy, Graham leaves a massive vacuum in the GOP conference, and his South Carolina seat could actually be competitive for Democrat Annie Andrews if the Republican primary lurches far enough to the right. From there Chuck draws a series of parallels between American and British politics — Labour returning to power on a promise of competence and stability, Nigel Farage (like Trump) trying to convert political fame into personal wealth, and the satirical candidate "Count Binface" holding up a mirror to a political culture that has become pure theater — musing, only half-jokingly, that America could use its own Count Binface. Chuck closes on a sober note about the U.S.-Israel relationship, which he believes is heading for a real retreat: he recalls how close the region came to a two-state peace two decades ago, how the collapse of that moment allowed radicalism to escalate on both sides until each could argue the other doesn't want peace, and points to Rahm Emanuel's recent speech in Israel — warning that Israel must articulate a vision for what comes after the war or risk isolating itself from younger and moderate Americans — as the sound of someone trying to save a political center that vanishes the moment people conclude moderates don't have answers. Then, John Morgan — founder of Morgan & Morgan, one of the largest personal injury firms in the country & author of "Life is Luck: Lessons From a Paperboy and How to Improve Your Luck" joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about civil litigation, the failures of government regulation, and his plan to launch a third party in Florida. Morgan makes the case that civil litigation has grown precisely because government has failed to regulate — social media is a genuine threat to human wellbeing (especially for children), monopolies are squeezing consumers, and processed foods, he argues, are the new tobacco: extremely harmful and ripe for legal reckoning. He offers a candid, colorful assessment of his former firm member RFK Jr. — "smart and crazy," a man who falls down some rabbit holes but also champions legitimate causes — and walks through the thorny reality that vaccine makers enjoy total indemnity while sovereign immunity exists in some form in all 50 states. Morgan is refreshingly honest about the ethics of his own industry, arguing that ads gloating about settlement numbers are a mistake because the real goal of a settlement is to give someone back something they lost, not to celebrate a payday. The heart of the conversation is Morgan's plan to launch a new third party in Florida called "Common Ground," rooted in his conviction that the two-party system itself is what's fundamentally broken in America. Morgan argues that moderates should function as the tiebreakers in a polarized system — that picking up just a few seats could turn an uncommitted moderate bloc into a genuine fulcrum of power in Congress — and explains why he'd rather build something new than partner with the existing Forward Party. He handicaps Florida's political landscape with an insider's candor: Byron Donalds likely wins the governorship but it'll be close, the Charlie Crist party-switch playbook never worked, and he's genuinely unsure whether voters can find David Jolly credible after his own party change.. Morgan laments that too many people now enter politics for the pension and salary rather than public service, criticizes DeSantis for appointing cronies as university presidents, and argues age limits are overdue because government should be about the future and very few politicians remain effective past 70. Along the way he explains why he thinks Texas Democrats fielded a more viable ticket than Florida's (James Talarico, he says, simply has "it"), why Andy Beshear won in Kentucky, why charter schools are about money rather than choice, and why DeSantis's property tax proposal could become a Brexit-style case study in voters making decisions that make no sense once the consequences arrive. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to break down the messy build up and coalitions involved in the Spanish civil war, and what lessons modern America can take from it. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and make a proposal for a change to the baseball Hall of Fame.

He handicaps Florida's political landscape with an insider's candor: Byron Donalds likely wins the governorship but it'll be close, the Charlie Crist party-switch playbook never worked, and he's genuinely unsure whether voters can find David Jolly credible after his own party change.. Morgan laments that too many people now enter politics for the pension and salary rather than public service, criticizes DeSantis for appointing cronies as university presidents, and argues age limits are overdue because government should be about the future and very few politicians remain effective past 70. Along the way he explains why he thinks Texas Democrats fielded a more viable ticket than Florida's (James Talarico, he says, simply has "it"), why Andy Beshear won in Kentucky, why charter schools are about money rather than choice, and why DeSantis's property tax proposal could become a Brexit-style case study in voters making decisions that make no sense once the consequences arrive.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down AI distillation, the teacher-student technique frontier labs now lean on to train smaller, cheaper models. He also covers GPT-5.6’s government-vetted rollout, Claude Sonnet 5 landing on AWS, Maryland’s two-year data center pause, and Microsoft’s climbing carbon numbers. Finally, he wraps with Apple’s $30 billion Broadcom deal, Meta’s tamper-proof recording light, Michigan’s parasite outbreak, and a simulation that erased a super El Niño. – Want to start a podcast?

Longer days have him outdoors, including a float trip on the Sandy River at Dabney State Park, where he found clearer water, clay-like sand, and easy footing. Next week brings both a move and a trip home, so he is stocking up on Trader Joe’s “Power Berries” and IKEA bags at his mom’s request. Then he turns to the lead story. AI Distillation Explained: How Frontier Models Teach Each Other Cochrane’s featured story comes from Hugging Face engineer Sergio Paniego. Distillation is teacher-student training for AI: a capable model generates the training signal, and a smaller student learns to match it. The classic off-policy version compresses giant models into cheap students, either through soft labels or piles of worked answers. Google’s Gemma models and DeepSeek’s R1-Distill line were built exactly this way. However, the industry is now converging on multi-teacher on-policy distillation, or MOPD. Labs build reinforcement-learning specialists for math, coding, and agentic work, then have them grade a single student, word by word, as the student generates its own answers. DeepSeek-V4, MiMo-V2-Flash, and NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 Ultra all run versions of the recipe, and the Qwen3 team reported better results at roughly a tenth of the GPU hours of raw reinforcement learning. Finally, self-distillation lets models like Cursor’s Composer 2.5 learn from better-prompted versions of themselves.

GPT-5.6 Arrives With a Government-Vetted Rollout OpenAI shipped GPT-5.6 as a three-tier family: Sol, Terra, and Luna. Sol costs five dollars in and thirty dollars out per million tokens, half of Claude Fable 5’s rate. The benchmarks split: Sol Ultra wins Terminal-Bench at 91.9 percent, while Claude Fable 5 still leads SWE-Bench Pro. Notably, the API launched in limited preview to roughly 20 partners vetted by the U.S. government, though the model went live in Microsoft 365 Copilot on day one. Claude Sonnet 5 Lands on AWS, Plus Quick AWS Wins Claude Sonnet 5 arrived on AWS through Bedrock, pitched as top-tier intelligence at Sonnet pricing. Additionally, Amazon WorkSpaces for AI agents reached general availability, enabling agents to drive full desktop applications securely. OpenSearch gained a log-analytics engine claiming four times the price-performance, and SageMaker now scales inference about twice as fast. Cochrane also flags that Kendra and Q Business move to maintenance mode at the end of July. Anthropic Wants You to Reflect on Your Claude Habits Anthropic launched Reflect, a beta feature that analyzes your past Claude conversations and visualizes how you actually use the assistant. It requires Memory, excludes incognito and health-related chats, and keeps its insights inside the tool. Cochrane loves the idea. He reviews his own transcripts to extract prompt patterns and turn them into reusable skills, and he suggests listeners simply ask their AI to do the same. AlphaEvolve Goes GA on Google Cloud Google made AlphaEvolve generally available to Google Cloud customers on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The agent acts as an evolutionary collaborator: provide a baseline algorithm and your goals, and it searches for better, human-readable code. BASF, JetBrains, and Kinaxis are the named early adopters. Meanwhile, Cochrane renews his standing wish that DeepMind release AlphaGo as a playable teacher. Google Adds “How This Ad Was Made” AI Labels Google is adding a “How this ad was made” section to My Ad Center across Search, YouTube, and Discover. Ads built with Google’s own AI tools automatically get the disclosure, backed by invisible watermarks. However, ads made with outside tools rely on advertiser self-declaration. Cochrane points out the limits of voluntary disclosure in an AI-flooded content economy. Microsoft’s Carbon Emissions Climb 25 Percent Microsoft’s new sustainability report shows emissions up 25% in 2025, driven by a data center construction spree. The gross figure is 34 million metric tons before offsets, while other coverage puts the net figure at around 20 million. Water consumption also jumped thirty-four percent, even as Microsoft claims its first water-positive year. Cochrane argues regulation needs to catch up, since Google and Amazon report similar increases. Prince George’s County Pauses Data Centers for Two Years Prince George’s County adopted a two-year moratorium on new data center development, the longest pause in Maryland so far. The resolution blocks new applications, including hyperscale projects, until the council passes real regulations. Water and energy impacts remain open questions the county intends to study. Cochrane gives kudos to residents for making their voices heard. Apple and Broadcom Ink a $30 Billion U.S. Chip Deal Apple is expanding its partnership with Broadcom with a multiyear agreement expected to exceed $30 billion. The deal covers custom silicon and wireless components, with more than fifteen billion chips to be made on American soil. Broadcom’s Fort Collins, Colorado plant anchors the work with a $1.5 billion equipment expansion. Tim Cook framed the deal as accelerating Apple’s commitment to American manufacturing. MSI and Intel Ship the First Arc G3 Extreme Handheld Intel detailed how it co-engineered the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, the first handheld on the Arc G3 Extreme processor. Highlights include a heat-spreading board layout and game-tuning loops that Intel says run Cyberpunk 2077 up to thirty-seven percent faster. The device is on sale now in void purple for around $1,500. At that price, Cochrane jokes he would rather buy a computer. Meta’s Glasses Get a Tamper-Proof Recording Light Meta answered the most common privacy questions about its AI glasses. Photos stay private on the device until the wearer imports or shares them, and a white capture LED blinks during any recording with no off switch. Moreover, newer glasses disable the camera if the LED is blocked, tampered with, or destroyed. Cochrane reminds listeners these claims are Meta grading its own homework, but the blink signal is worth recognizing in public. Michigan’s Parasite Outbreak Tops 1,200 Cases Michigan’s cyclosporiasis outbreak reached 1,251 cases since June 22, with roughly forty hospitalizations along the way. Northwest Ohio adds more than five hundred cases. The parasite typically spreads through contaminated fresh produce, and investigators still have not found the source. Cochrane’s advice: wash your produce, and get tested if your symptoms fit. AI Finds the San Andreas Fault’s Silent Slips Researchers paired AI with borehole strainmeters to detect dozens of hidden slow-slip events beneath the San Andreas Fault’s Parkfield section. Each silent slip releases stress within hours and is reliably followed by low-frequency earthquakes. Together, the findings support a continuous spectrum from silent creep to destructive quakes. The study appears in Nature Communications, and Cochrane hopes it will lead to better earthquake prediction. Cloud Brightening Erased a Super El Niño, in a Simulation Finally, a Science Advances study simulated marine cloud brightening in response to the 1997 and 2015 super El Niño events. Seeding clouds over the eastern Pacific erased the events entirely inside the model. Real deployment would take roughly 2,400 ships spraying continuously, and the simulations showed side effects like extra warming over Europe and Asia. Cochrane finds the weather-machine concept fascinating, yet he questions the consequences of altering cycles the planet runs for a reason.

Advertising doesn't work by persuading people to buy. It works by creating future demand. James Hurman returns to unpack his new book: why the funnel is the wrong model, how the biggest group of buyers isn't in the market yet, why green dashboards can hide a dying brand, and how to make the case for brand spend to a CFO who only sees this year.There are two types of demand in any market: the small group ready to buy now, and the much larger group who will come in later. Most advertising pours everything into the first group, watches the dashboards turn green, and wonders why the business numbers stay red. James Hurman returns to The Sleeping Barber to explain the fix at the heart of his new book, Future Demand.Marc, V, and James work through the two-part funnel that replaces the old model, the myth that great companies don't advertise, why Volvo's Epic Split kept paying off for a decade, and why ads wear in rather than wear out. They get practical on the boardroom case: share of voice, the five to ten percent rule, and how to reframe brand as future cash flow for a finance team. They close on AI: the book's Pocket Advisor app, and how language models lean on brand signals when they choose what to recommend.Enjoy the show.Show note links:Future Demand (book, ebook, audiobook, Pocket Advisor app, community): https://futuredemand.comFuture Demand community: https://community.futuredemand.comJames Hurman (website): https://www.jameshurman.comTracksuit (brand tracking): https://www.gotracksuit.comThe Creative Effectiveness Ladder (Hurman & Peter Field, WARC / Cannes Lions): https://www.warc.comVolvo Trucks: Epic Split feat.

Big Show Announcement Starting July 6th, the podcast gets a complete makeover — three shows a week, each with a distinct purpose. The new weekly lineup: Metabolic Monday — Ben sits down with top experts in metabolic health (doctors, researchers, the people moving the needle). Every episode delivers something actionable you can use that same day. Transformation Tuesday — The tables get turned. Ben's friend Alex Montalenti interviews Ben. No script, no agenda — a heart-based conversation about the stuff Ben doesn't usually discuss: the real journey, the setbacks, the mindset. Freedom Friday — Ben and Alex go deep again, heart to heart, on what freedom really means: metabolic freedom, financial freedom, time freedom. What else is changing: Ads cut by 75% — far fewer interruptions. Two places to listen only: the audio podcast (wherever you're listening now) and Spotify video. No longer on YouTube as of July 6th — if that's where you usually watch, follow the show on audio or follow Ben on Spotify so you don't miss anything. Bottom line: New format, fewer ads, more of the conversations that matter. Mark July 6th — Metabolic Monday, Transformation Tuesday, Freedom Friday.
