How Pressure Turns Good Leaders Into Bad Bosses Most leaders don't fail because they lack skill or good intentions. They fail because pressure changes how they show up. In this episode, executive coach Sabina Nawaz explains why pressure, not power, is the real force that corrupts leadership. Drawing from her work with senior leaders at Microsoft and Fortune 500 companies, Sabina breaks down how well-meaning managers slip into micromanaging, rescuing, and control—and how those habits quietly damage trust, performance, and culture. You'll learn: Why pressure triggers the worst leadership behaviors The “sole provider” trap many leaders fall into without realizing it Why promotions are one of the riskiest moments in a leadership career How to lead yourself first so pressure doesn't lead for you If you want to stay effective, human, and trusted as a leader—especially under pressure—this conversation is a must-listen.

Markets were hit with a surge of volatility after President Trump confirmed Kevin Warsh as his nominee for Fed Chair, raising fresh uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy. The VIX jumped as much as 13%, fueled further by shutdown risk and escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. U.S. equities sold off sharply, led by Microsoft's worst session since 2020, wiping out more than $350 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Europe offered a rare bright spot as Eurozone GDP beat expectations, unemployment fell to a record low, and Spain led growth. Precious metals saw extreme reversals after a scorching run — silver plunged 15%, gold dropped as much as 8%, yet remained on track for its best monthly performance since 1982. In crypto, Bitcoin fell to $81,000, marking its worst streak of monthly losses since 2018, triggering $1.8B in liquidations. Binance announced it would convert $1B of stablecoins into BTC, offering a rare vote of confidence. A packed, volatile session — all the key facts, no spin.

With Donald Trump tearing up the world order, governments across Europe are having to confront the fact that most of the technology they rely on comes from US companies. French officials have taken a step this week to reduce their dependence on US digital infrastructure, announcing they have stopped using Zoom, the US-owned video meeting software, in favour of a French-made program. But how viable is this? And what are the risks? The Guardian's Michael Safi speaks to the tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker – watch on YouTube.

As Meta and Microsoft report earnings, markets are sending a mixed but revealing signal about AI: this doesn't look like a classic bubble fear so much as a judgment about who's winning the AI narrative. Meta is rewarded for aggressive spending paired with visible revenue impact, while Microsoft is punished for caution and slowing cloud growth despite massive backlog demand. The takeaway isn't that investors are fleeing AI—it's that they're increasingly selective about which AI stories they believe will convert spending into growth. In the headlines: SoftBank eyes another $30B into OpenAI, ServiceNow deepens its Anthropic partnership, Microsoft scrambles to respond to Claude Cowork, Google upgrades Chrome with agentic browsing, and Tesla invests $2B into xAI.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Today, a thorough rundown of big incoming earnings reports, especially Microsoft (which likely drove much of the volatility in the broader US indices yesterday), but also Meta, Tesla, Apple and others. We also look forward to a busy earnings week next week with two more Mag7 names reporting. Also on today's call, a look at the market reaction to stories that Trump is set to announce today that Kevin Warsh will be nominated as the next Fed Chair and how to position this choice. Today features Saxo Equity Strategists Ruben Dalfovo and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Two links discussed on today's pod: one is an appearance by Russell Napier with the Hudson Institute on "Understanding the AI oppportunity" and another is a WSJ exclusive (paywall) on the status of the US Clarity Act, which is a deepening of the regulatory approach to crypto in the US.

Synopsis:  Only 17% of Americans think AI will have a positive impact over the next 20 years: Hear from labor-focused news platform More Perfect Union's Founder Faiz Shakir and NYer staff writer John Cassidy on who gets to decide how human and natural resources are distributed in the age of AI capitalism.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  An AI revolution is underway, but so is the resistance. People across the country are feeling the strain of the huge energy-sucking data processing centers that AI requires, and telling their elected officials to slow down or stop new big tech projects for firms like OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Data from a 2025 Pew study shows that only 17 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact over the next 20 years. But it's a David vs. Goliath battle. Today's guests say AI expansion is not a red or blue issue; it's about who gets to decide how human and natural resources are distributed, who controls the technology, and who stands to benefit. Faiz Shakir is the Founder and Executive Director of the labor-focused news platform More Perfect Union, and serves as a political advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders. John Cassidy, staff writer at the New Yorker, is the author of the recent book, “Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI”, in which he draws our attention back to the Luddites, the 18th century workers whose revolt deserves our closer attention. Plus, our correspondent's coverage of a shocking scene at a public comment meeting in Wisconsin when a local woman was arrested and dragged away. If AI is the new face of capitalism, what is the new alternative?“Luddites, when I was growing up, was a term of abuse. It was people who were sort of antediluvians and didn't understand the modern world. . . . They understood the modern world as it was in their times perfectly, and they saw it was moving against them, and they saw that the political system wasn't coming to their defense.” - John Cassidy“. . . There's more and more pushback, which hopefully portends the possibility that a lot of these communities can strike better deals if they are going to have data centers. There's no reason why we can't be asking that the teachers are well paid, that the electricity rates don't go up, that we have decent affordable housing in those communities. That is all possible because we're playing with incredible amounts of dollars and deep-pocketed people . . . ” - Faiz ShakirGuests:•  John Cassidy: Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Author, Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI•  Faiz Shakir: Founder & Executive Director, More Perfect Union; Political Advisor & Former Campaign Manager, Senator Bernie Sanders Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

And we all HATE CHINA, RIGHT???), has $100m in contracts with ICEIn fact, there's a whole private infrastructure complex that's largely not politically agnostic that's made $22bn from ICE and immigration crackdowns - and it's only been a year! That's some awesome shareholder value illegally sending weeping mothers to countries they don't live in with no due process!CEOs (Target, looking at you) DRThey managed to find a pen and craft a strongly worded letter that asked, pretty please, for “de-escalation”, calling ICE out not by NAME of course, but as a “recent challenge” that created “widespread disruption” - and named the White House only as someone they are “communicating” with. Signed by 60 Minnesota CEOs, co-signed in spirit by the Business Roundtable (though not like, officially), they managed to write a whole 199 words about the execution of a VA nurse whose crime was filming the Gestapo in actionTarget's incoming CEO (obviously not the CURRENT CEO Brian Cornell, he's busy polishing his mahogany chair for board meetings where he will be Executive Chair, making as much as a CEO with none of the responsibilities) also addressed the unlawful and unwarranted arrests of Target employees in Minneapolis by thugs - oh, wait, no he didn't - he said, “The violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful.” - IT WAS YOUR EMPLOYEES IN THE CROSSHAIRS, SCHMUCK. Target employees are currently skipping work in Minnesota, but solid leadership.Boards of directorsOur analysis of the boards of the Minnesota 60 showed that nearly half of them sit on each other's boards. Basically, you have a massive groupcoward problem - about 25 of the CEOs sit on some other CEOs board or overlap in some way, and the lawyers that carefully crafted the letter absolutely had to have it run through every other board and company lawyer, a task made easier when half of you are on the board with each other. No need for authenticity when you have collective ass covering.Jeffrey EpsteinIf not for those files, there wouldn't NEED TO BE MURDERS so you look somewhere else!InvestorsIf not for “shareholder value”, we could pay attention to humanity and authentic real world values!WHICH ASSHOLE DO YOU BLAME: As You Sow leads criticism of SEC's updated restrictions on smaller shareholdersSmaller investors!For three decades, small investors have used precatory proposals either as a means to extract more data, a means to improve governance, or a means of advertising - many of the non profits use it as a fundraising tool as much as a means of changeMeanwhile, those proposals have almost entirely failed at the vote - though they HAVE succeeded in increasing our data over time (the long arc of disclosure)Then the zone gets flooded by the anti-woke shareholders looking to de-trans companies, and now we have a massive influx of performative proposalsNow that the insiders are in charge (vs. career bureaucrats), in a six month period, virtually all rights have been revoked with threats of paperwork for non complianceAs a final cherry, they are now trying to keep EXEMPT SOLICITATIONS off the filing docket unless you have $5m in stock, so you can't even file your intent to vote directionally unless you're super richJohn CheveddenThe gadflyfather - if not for being the winningest shareholder in history with a nearly obsessive focus on improving shareholder rights, the most boring of topics, the SEC would probably have ignored the whole thingBut the data shows the SEC is taking the time to blanket ignore everyone BUT Chevedden, responding to affirmatively say no to his proposalsJC, no one likes a repeat champion dynastyThe SECBrain Daly at the SEC is out there suggesting maybe NO ONE should vote proxies while SEC Chair Atkins tried to gaslight the entire investment community by claiming the “government shutdown” made it too hard for the poor ole SEC to do its job, so they just gave companies immunity from proposals in lieu of doing their jobsMeanwhile, Atkins has overseen a steep drop in enforcement of accounting irregularities and reporting while simultaneously green lighting crypto scams and Exxon's new “retail vote” capture plan (which gives management anywhere from 5-20% of the company vote depending on the company by auto voting retail that opts in)All with Trump family in the backdrop raking in 1.4bn in the first year of the presidency from crypto token bullshit, asset seizures and sales, and pure graft - none of which will obviously be investigated despite Trump's son actively on a public board of directorsBigger investors!THEY NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT VOTING ANYWAY! 96% average support for directors, 0.2% of directors globally voted out annually, and of those that are voted out (~20 a year), MORE THAN HALF STAY ON THE BOARD either by bylaw (cumulative voting) or as zombies (Jay Hoag!)And still, NO ONE CARES!WHICH ASSHOLE DO YOU BLAME: Marc Andreessen says the real crisis isn't AI job losses — it's what would have happened without AIThe powerless AI makersSam Altman: Sam Altman Says AI Will Cause Massive Deflation, Making Money Worth Vastly More - that's pretty good if you're already a billionaire, yeah?Dario Amodei: Anthropic CEO Warns That the AI Tech He's Creating Could Ravage Human Civilization - uh, don't create itThe CEO of Microsoft Suddenly Sounds Extremely Nervous About AIAI anxiety is so widespread that veteran Microsoft researchers are having panic attacks because they're making themselves obsoleteThe VC Navel Gazing Manchild EconomyAndreessen's genius was investing in manchildren: Facebook, Roblox, AirBnBVCs actually are giving LESS MONEY to women than the INCREDIBLY LOW AMOUNT they already gave during the AI raceYOU - you should have been a plumber or a peasant or a construction workerHeadliniest of the WeekDR: Cracker Barrel Wants Its Staff to Eat One Thing on Work Trips: Cracker BarrelMM: The company Americans say is the best place to work in 2026 isn't who you thinkCrew Carwash - washing cars is better than tech bro manbaby festsMM: The Worst People Alive Are Obsessed With Meta's Video Recording GlassesWho Won the Week?DR: Resistance in Minnesota and Maine (I'm attempting to be optimistic here, give me a break)MM: 33% of corporate leaders: As Big Tech CEOs speak up about violence in Minneapolis, 1 in 3 corporate leaders think ICE tensions are ‘not relevant to their business'PredictionsDR: January 1st will officially be recognized by the Business Roundtable as "Equality Day"—celebrating the grueling minutes it takes a CEO to earn more than their average worker for the year.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, highlights a week where mega cap tech snapped back into leadership after small caps' strong run faded. A quiet Fed meeting kept rates steady and shifted attention to earnings, where Meta and IBM surged on AI strength while Microsoft slumped on lofty expectations. Travel, leisure, and select industrial names outperformed as software and healthcare lagged. Metals stole the spotlight with extreme volatility, led by gold's dramatic intraday swing, while crypto struggled to gain traction. With a busy earnings slate and key labor data ahead, markets move into next week with momentum reshuffling once again.

The emergence of Moltbot, an open source AI agent designed to operate across various messaging platforms and automate tasks through local device execution, is creating new risk vectors for MSPs and IT providers. Functioning with admin-level access and connecting to services like OpenAI and Google, Moltbot's deployment has raised direct concerns around authority delegation without sufficient governance. Security researchers identified hundreds of exposed Moltbot instances, often due to misconfiguration, increasing the possibility of breaches and unauthorized data access. The episode underscores that these agents, treated as productivity tools, actually represent operational infrastructure capable of independent action, with potential impacts on client trust and regulatory liability.Expert sources cited in the discussion, including Cisco and Hudson Rock, have labeled Moltbot a security risk due to its storage of sensitive information in plain text and broad access permissions. The narrative warns that vendors and providers may underestimate the risks by normalizing deployment before establishing proper controls. Once these agents are embedded into workflows, reversing their use becomes difficult due to client reliance on perceived efficiency. The lack of mature governance frameworks, as shown by studies from Drexel University, means that many organizations lack even basic oversight of these autonomous agents.Adjacent industry developments highlight additional layers of operational complexity. Apple posted a 16% revenue increase, led by iPhone demand, and acquired Q AI to deepen its ambient automation capabilities, while shifting defaults that providers cannot easily influence or control. Simultaneously, the Linux community's succession planning and Microsoft's ongoing struggles with Windows 11 reliability further demonstrate systemic issues around authority, trust, and transparency in technology ecosystems.The episode's analysis signals clear expectations for MSPs and technology leaders: explicit approval protocols for AI agents are necessary, akin to traditional admin controls. Providers must proactively define governance boundaries, anticipate non-billable labor resulting from automation failures, and assess vendor behavior in terms of roadmap rigidity and escalation pathways. Teaching clients about authority in automated environments, not just managing installations, will reduce exposure and clarify accountability as agentic technologies become standard.Three things to know today00:00 Moltbot's Rise Highlights How AI Agents Are Becoming High-Risk Operators Without Governance03:49 Record iPhone Sales and a $2 Billion AI Acquisition Signal Apple's Long-Term Control Strategy06:04 Leadership Succession, Software Trust, and AI Agents Reveal a Shared Governance ProblemThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  ScalePad

US equity futures are weaker following a mixed Thursday close, with Asian markets broadly lower and European equities trading firmer. Markets remain focused on mounting speculation that President Trump will name former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair, a development seen as hawkish and prompting a rebound in the dollar, higher yields, and pressure on risk assets and precious metals. US equities saw downside concentrated in technology, with Microsoft weighing on sentiment after earnings, partially offset by strength in Meta, while broader cyclicals and energy outperformed amid rising geopolitical risk tied to Iran. Attention is also on earnings momentum, and on macro signals that continue to support a resilient-growth narrative despite elevated volatility and shifting Fed rate-cut expectations.Companies Mentioned: SpaceX, xAI, Tesla, CK Hutchison Holdings, Meta Platforms

Paige Arnof-Fenn shares how to stop competing on price by sharpening brand positioning, owning a niche, and turning reputation + referrals into consistent demand.In this episode, Paige Arnof-Fenn shares her journey from investment banking to branding powerhouse and discovering her true calling in marketing, building a distributed firm long before remote work was mainstream, and detailing how to turn expertise into profitable, high-impact businesses. Paige is the founder and CEO of Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and digital marketing firm that has worked with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, The New York Times Company, and Colgate. Her path to entrepreneurship didn't begin with a clear plan, but with a series of courageous pivots that led her from Wall Street to marketing leadership at P&G and Coca-Cola, and eventually to building her own agency. Along the way, she learned that success is less about following a script and more about honoring the parts of work that energize you.The turning points in Paige's story are rooted in self-awareness and bold action. After realizing investment banking didn't align with her values or passion, she shifted into marketing, first through business school, then by shaping brand strategy at major corporations and startups. She watched the internet industry emerge in the late '90s and embraced it, later using the post-9/11 job market as a catalyst to launch her own business. What could have been a moment of fear became the start of a 24-year journey building a thriving firm with a distributed team across multiple cities and countries.Paige's most powerful insights center on clarity, niche, and validation. She encourages women entrepreneurs to treat themselves as a brand, not a commodity, and to build businesses based on real market research, not friendly feedback. She champions differentiation through specificity, sharing how dominating one niche beats trying to please everyone, and explains how profitability is the foundation for meaningful impact.Paige's story is a celebration of women's leadership, resilience, and the power of building businesses that create real change. If you're ready to rethink what entrepreneurship can look like, and how to build it with intention and confidence, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be inspired.Chapters00:56

A former corporate lawyer with an MBA and background in psychology, she has designed and delivered transformative programs for Fortune 500 giants including Google, Microsoft, LVMH, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Named one of LinkedIn's Top Voices for career development, Shadé has taught over 7 million learners on LinkedIn Learning. Her TEDx talks and viral videos have amassed more than 300 million views, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Adweek, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance.  Today on the show we discuss why self-doubt doesn't disappear with success and often intensifies as responsibility and visibility increase, how distorted self-image rather than lack of confidence drives chronic self-doubt, the four psychological traits that quietly shape how confident or insecure someone feels day to day, why confidence is the wrong target and self-trust is what actually eliminates doubt long-term, how comparison and impostor syndrome escalate as people level up and why that's a sign of growth, and the practical tools that help stop internalizing doubt while rebuilding real self-trust through action and much more.
