We wrap up Setting Course 2026 this week with part two of our conversation with Robert Friedland and Jeff Currie. Robert is Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines and Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of I-Pulse. Jeff Currie is Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle.   David Greely sits down with Robert and Jeff to discuss what's happening at Davos, what the revenge of the miners and the real economy means for copper and other commodity prices, and the other big themes that Jeff is seeing for 2026 and beyond.   We'll pick up with last week's conversation as Jeff discusses how the need to build out infrastructure for AI data centers is leading traditionally asset-light big tech companies to become asset-heavy.  

On today's episode, we welcome Heather Andersen, Co-Founder of New York Pilates — the cult-favorite reformer studio that helped define modern Pilates culture in New York and beyond.Heather's journey began as a professionally trained ballerina, where Pilates was first introduced as part of her classical training. After an injury shifted her path away from dance, she spent years teaching privately and deepening her expertise under industry leaders before identifying a major gap in the fitness landscape: the need for high-energy, results-driven group reformer classes that still honored the integrity of the Pilates method. That insight led to the launch of New York Pilates in 2013.In this episode, Heather shares how she built a culture-driven wellness brand rooted in anatomy, precision, and thoughtful design, why the current Pilates boom has created confusion around the method, and what it takes to scale a cult-favorite fitness concept without compromising quality. We also discuss instructor training, leadership evolution, brand consistency, and where modern movement is headed next. This conversation is packed with insight for founders, operators, and anyone building enduring brands in wellness and beyond. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

If you spend any time on the water, you've probably heard the joke that the two best days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy the boat… and the day they sell it.For today's guest, that line isn't just a joke. It's a problem statement.Mitch Lee grew up around boats. He loved being on the water, but he also experienced firsthand how loud, smelly, maintenance-heavy, and frustrating boat ownership can be. And once electric vehicles started proving what was possible on land, one idea kept coming back to him: if electrification makes sense in cars on the road, it might actually make even more sense in boats on the water.Mitch is the co-founder and CEO of Arc, an electric boat company building both consumer and commercial vessels. Arc started in the premium wake sports market, selling directly to consumers and using those early boats to develop its electric propulsion technology. That platform is now being deployed in commercial applications, where electrification can improve reliability, lower costs, and support ports that want to electrify.Founded in 2021, Arc has raised over $110 million through its Series B and has scaled from delivering its first customer boat, which took two years to build, to now producing multiple boats per week, while also landing major commercial partnerships at working ports.In our conversation, Mitch walks me through his path that led to Arc, from a childhood fascination with stocks and compounding interest, to building and selling his first company in the personal finance space, to betting big on electric boats and what electrification can unlock on the water.About Powerhouse Innovation and Powerhouse VenturesPowerhouse Ventures backs seed stage startups developing innovative software to advance clean energy, mobility, and industry.

Hosts: Andy Shiles Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Jack Moberger, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Ned Cartmell, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Sepehr Farzaneh, Co-Founder, DocUnlock Published: January 2026 Length: ~40 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Episode Summary In this episode of Simply Trade, Andy and Lalo sit down with the founders of DocUnlock to explore one of the most painful realities in global trade: document chaos. From commercial invoices and packing lists to certificates, statements, and agency-specific requirements, trade compliance still lives in PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, and inboxes. Jack, Ned, and Sepehr break down how DocUnlock is using AI to extract, structure, validate, and operationalize trade documents — turning static paperwork into usable compliance data. The conversation dives into real-world brokerage and importer pain points, why “document accuracy” is no longer enough, and how automation is shifting expectations across customs, PGAs, and supply chain partners. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with high-volume imports, broker workflows, or compliance teams stretched thin. Key Takeaways Trade compliance is still dominated by unstructured documents — and that's the bottleneck. AI can extract and normalize data without replacing trade expertise. Document automation reduces risk, speeds releases, and improves audit readiness. Brokers and importers benefit differently — but both win when documents are usable data. The future of compliance isn't fewer documents — it's smarter ones. What DocUnlock Is Solving Commercial invoices & packing lists Certificates & trade declarations Broker-importer document handoffs Audit readiness & data traceability Scaling compliance without scaling headcount Resources & Mentions DocUnlock – AI-powered trade document automation

Sats Terminal is the first native Bitcoin super app, bringing together Bitcoin loans, yield, and trading in a single interface and developer SDK. Sats Terminal is backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), Coinbase Ventures, and Draper Associates.The founders of Sats Terminal recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the technology.Stan Havryliuk (CEO and Co-Founder) and Rishabh Java (CTO and Co-Founder) of Sats Terminal shared their journey, starting with their backgrounds in crypto and fintech. Stan had previous experience with Bitcoin.com and running a large Eastern European exchange, while Java had built and sold a fintech company, finding crypto to be a more open building environment. The inspiration for Sats Terminal stemmed from a highly problematic user experience Stan encountered while trading BRC20s, which resulted in him overpaying significantly for a single token. This incident highlighted a clear need for good, user-friendly interfaces in the growing Bitcoin DeFi market to encourage wider adoption. The two founders met online while working on a previous project and formalized their partnership after meeting in person in Buenos Aires.The company secured notable financial backing from major investors. Java's connection to Coinbase Ventures was established after winning an AI agent hackathon at their San Francisco office, which led to a successful pitch. Stan described how they were quickly accepted into the YZi Labs (aka Binance Labs) accelerator program after applying shortly before the deadline on a friend's recommendation, benefiting from a good product growth trajectory at the time. They also received early backing from the Draper family of VCs, including Draper Associates, Draper Dragon, and Boost VC. Stan's key advice for aspiring startups seeking funding is to "just keep building" and iterating fast, emphasizing that consistency compounds into success, alongside networking and participating in hackathons.Java elaborated on the evolution of native Bitcoin assets, moving from Ordinals to BRC20s and then to the improved Runes standard. He reported that Sats Terminal has already captured approximately 70% of the market share for trading Runes, showcasing their success in the ecosystem. They also acknowledged that the Bitcoin ecosystem's complexity, due to the lack of a central authority, means the market will ultimately decide which token standard becomes the long-term winner.The core of Sats Terminal's vision is encapsulated in their motto: "never sell your Bitcoin," but instead to make it work through products like trading, earning, and borrowing. Stan highlighted their belief that Bitcoin is the "only pristine collateral for loans," and their products are laying the groundwork for Bitcoin's transition from "digital gold" to a "productive asset." Java detailed their Borrow product as a self-custody, trust-minimized cross-chain loan solution where users can collateralize their Bitcoin for a loan without KYC. Stan announced that the first version of the Earn product, designed to simplify DeFi complexity for end-users, is being finalized and expected to go live in the next few weeks.Stan Havryliuk, CEO and Co-Founder of Sats Terminal, early Bitcoin investor and Web3 veteran with over eight years of experience scaling crypto businesses worldwide. Ex-Bitcoin.com and zondacrypto.com (BitBay.com).Rishabh Java, CTO and Co-Founder of Sats Terminal, serial entrepreneur, inventor, and Bitcoin builder with a proven track record of creating great technologies. Winner of 50 international hackathons, awarded by Steve Wozniak at 15 for BCI tech and exited Web2 startup at 21.To learn more about the project visit the website, and follow the team on X.

Send us a textOur guest for this Flashcast edition is Shawn Severson, CEO and Co-Founder of Water Tower Research, and Head of Market Commentary and Thematic Research. Shawn breaks down his latest research, “The Cost of Equity Pivot: Why Structure Now Matters More Than Rates,” which challenges the traditional small-cap playbook heading into 2026. While falling interest rates have helped fuel a recent rebound in small caps, Shawn explains why the true driver of the innovation economy in 2026 is the cost of equity, not the cost of debt. He outlines the market's structural shift from “survival financing” to “growth financing,” why markets are now rewarding solvency over dilution, and how investors should position around clean cap tables, funded innovators, and a barbell strategy as the small-cap equity window reopens.

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, we're doing a little bit of everything — industry analysis, hot takes, and a long, thoughtful sit-down with two people quietly shaping what neighborhood dining looks like in Los Angeles right now.In Part 1, Father Sal joins Luca to break down the 2026 James Beard Award semifinalists. LA had a massive showing this year, but how does it stack up against past years — and which semifinalists actually have a real shot at winning? We dig into the numbers, the narratives, and what Beard recognition really means in 2026. In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we cover Noma selling out in three minutes (and then making bagels), Bill Addison taking the gloves off, Firstborn LA going all-in on prix fixe, and a handful of LA chefs landing on one of the year's most anticipated culinary TV shows.In Part 2, Luca sits down with Adam Weisblatt, Co-Founder and Partner of Last Word Hospitality, and DK Kolender, Chef and Partner of Hermon's, one of LA's most talked-about new neighborhood restaurants. We start with Hermon's — the vision, the food, the drinks, and why it already feels like it's been here forever — before zooming out to talk about Last Word's broader strategy behind Found Oyster, Queen's, Barra Santos, and more. Adam and DK share hard-earned perspective on building restaurants people actually return to, thriving as a restaurant group in today's LA, and how they think about growth, praise, and sustainability. We close with reflections on Last Word Hospitality's recent James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur nomination and what success looks like moving forward.Powered by Acquired Taste

Fear is shaping how our kids grow up, and it may be costing them their confidence, resilience, and hope. In this conversation, I talk with Iuri Milo, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience, about what he is seeing firsthand in schools and therapy rooms across the country. We explore the rise in student anxiety and suicide, how fear-based parenting and constant digital input affect young minds, and why building protective factors matters more than chasing risk labels.

In this episode of Ageless Future, Cade Archibald reframes aging as a bioenergetic problem—not simply “wear and tear” or the passage of time. He explains how mitochondrial dysfunction can quietly precede chronic disease through declining ATP production, rising oxidative stress (ROS), and increasingly inefficient cellular signaling, setting the stage for issues like neurodegeneration, cardiometabolic disease, and autoimmune/inflammatory disorders. Cade highlights how mitochondria act as intelligent signaling hubs that help the body adapt to stress, why symptoms often appear before labs look abnormal, and how restoring energy can unlock repair, detoxification, hormone balance, and immune stability. He closes with practical “mitochondria-charging” strategies—recovery, sleep, heat/cold exposure, red light, and foundational habits—challenging listeners to prioritize restoration to restore health.AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Thank you to our sponsor, Walrus! Walrus is where the world's data becomes reliable, valuable, and governable. --- In this exclusive Unchained interview, Griff Green, one of the original DAO curators and a member of the White Hat Group that helped recover funds after the 2016 DAO hack, reveals how tens of thousands of unclaimed ETH are being transformed into a long-term security fund for the Ethereum ecosystem. Nearly ten years after the most infamous exploit in crypto history, the community is repurposing its leftovers, not to rewrite history, but to prevent it from repeating itself. The new DAO Security Fund will deploy grants for Ethereum security research, infrastructure, incident response, and user protection, while also reviving DAO-based governance experiments that have fallen out of favor. Griff explains how the fund will work, why the Ethereum Foundation is involved, how staking will generate sustainable funding, and why, despite Ethereum's strength, crypto still isn't safe enough for everyday users.

Pascal Wagner interviews Jon Brooks, who breaks down why today's real estate market is sending mixed signals—and why getting that interpretation wrong can have real financial consequences. Jon explains how decades of falling interest rates created a powerful tailwind for real estate that no longer exists, especially in overbuilt Sunbelt markets like Florida. The conversation explores what's actually breaking versus what's simply slowing down, including rising insurance and tax costs, declining affordability, demographic headwinds, and stalled migration. Jon also shares why he sold his entire personal real estate portfolio, pivoted into private lending, and ultimately shifted capital into equities as risk-return dynamics changed. This matters because many investors are still relying on outdated assumptions about appreciation, cash flow, and long-term demand. Understanding how interest rates, demographics, and market psychology intersect helps investors reassess where risk is no longer being adequately compensated—and how to position capital without relying on the market to “save” them.

In This Episode Could up to 80% of existing credit cards be canceled or see credit reductions under the proposed 10% interest rate cap? That's the stark prediction from industry research and leading credit providers like JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon. Instead of helping consumers, the policy could trigger an evaporation of available credit, shrink access, and push borrowers toward less regulated alternatives. In this episode of Breaking Banks, Jason Henrichs connects with leading industry voices Ron Shevlin, Managing Director & Chief Research Officer of Cornerstone Advisors and author of Forbes‘ Fintech Snark Tank, and Rhett Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of LoanPro. As the trio discuss benefits, tradeoffs, and risks, they recognize that one size doesn’t always fit all, and explore where innovation might fill the gap: buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) models, bespoke lending products, and how stablecoins could be a market-based alternative to blunt the access problem, a way to lower costs without breaking the system. Could “loan-on-card” structures or embedded finance preserve convenience while reshaping risk? If credit migrates outside traditional card networks, are we undermining decades of consumer protection? For anyone shaping the future of banking, fintech, consumer lending and credit, or just trying to better understand the benefits, potential tradeoffs, and risks of interest rate caps and stablecoins as a market-based alternative, this episode is essential listening. Credit has a very long history of teaching us that quick fixes often create new problems.

In this episode, Dr. Farzad Mostashari, co-founder and CEO of Aledade, discusses how value-based care finally makes prevention profitable by rewarding primary care for keeping patients healthy rather than treating avoidable disease. He reflects on his path from public health and federal EHR leadership to building a nationwide platform that partners with independent practices to take total-cost-of-care contracts. Dr. Mostashari covers why fee-for-service warped EHRs into billing tools, how accountable care models reversed that logic, and why culture, long-term thinking, and technology at scale matter. He shares results from thousands of practices achieving higher blood-pressure control by focusing on stroke prevention, explains the economics of Medicare Shared Savings and expanding private contracts, and explores how AI can deliver just-in-time insights across hundreds of EHRs without forcing workflow change.  Tune in and learn how aligning incentives, primary care, and AI can deliver better outcomes at lower cost!

What if we could pause biological time to wait for a cure for a disease? Thanks to innovations and research in reversible cryopreservation, this possibility is no longer just science fiction. Sarah Guo sits down with Laura Deming, CEO and co-founder of biotech startup Until, to dive deep into the growing field of reversible cryopreservation. Laura talks about how her time as a Thiel Fellow as well as her founding of the Longevity Fund fueled her obsession with solving the “social blindspot” of aging. Laura details how her new startup, Until, seeks to build tools that allow for “pressing pause” on biological time, starting with human organs with the hopes of scaling up to full body medical hibernation. Together, they also discuss why ice is the enemy of tissue, using engineering tools to help solve biological problems, and how this technology may revolutionize organ transplantation by removing time as a variable.  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

During today's episode, Sharon shared the remarkable journey of her company, including how it raised $3.8 million in funding and acquired a groundbreaking stroke rehabilitation startup, Imago Rehab.Sharon explained that their success stems from a commitment to creating solutions that improve lives. “It's about really making connections and growing community with like-minded people who understand mission-driven businesses that work for good as well as doing good,” she said. This philosophy helped Health Care Originals achieve groundbreaking milestones, including closing a $1.1 million Reg CF round and securing significant venture capital investments.The acquisition of Imago Rehab exemplifies Sharon's vision. The startup, which develops robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation using Harvard-developed technology, aligns perfectly with Health Care Originals' mission to deliver tech-enabled healthcare solutions. “We saw in Imago Rehab the kinds of therapies my grandma needed after her stroke. It resonated deeply with me,” Sharon said. The deal, she explained, was also about ensuring the technology reached those who need it most, a value shared by the company's lead investors.Sharon also highlighted how their impact extends to respiratory health. Shortly after winning the SuperCrowdLA awards, Health Care Originals became the exclusive respiratory care provider for a health coalition representing 400,000 lives. The company's ability to integrate proprietary hardware, AI, and specialized therapy continues to drive growth and innovation.For those inspired by mission-driven entrepreneurship, Sharon's story provides a roadmap. By combining purpose and perseverance, Health Care Originals isn't just a company—it's a movement. If you're interested in supporting their journey, consider exploring their offerings or participating in their crowdfunding efforts.tl;dr:Health Care Originals raised $3.8 million, including $1.1 million through a crowdfunding campaign.The company acquired Imago Rehab, a startup developing robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation.Sharon outlined how mission-driven innovation drives their impact-focused healthcare solutions.Sharon's superpower, resilience, has been key to overcoming challenges and driving the company forward.Health Care Originals integrates AI, hardware, and therapy to deliver transformative healthcare solutions.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerSharon describes her superpower as resilience—her ability to persevere and overcome challenges without giving up. Reflecting on this trait, she shared, “What has become evident to me over the last year is that I don't give up.” Sharon's unyielding determination has been pivotal in navigating the hurdles of leading a startup, from raising capital to acquiring and integrating other businesses. Her ability to stay focused and committed to her mission, even in the face of adversity, defines her approach to entrepreneurship.One powerful example of Sharon's resilience came from her first job as the only female engineer in a 50-year-old, failing factory with outdated equipment. Despite the challenges, she worked tirelessly to restore operations, eventually increasing production by 33%. The validation of her efforts came from the factory's furnace designer, who recognized her unique understanding of the process and her unwavering commitment to improvement.To develop resilience, Sharon suggests finding a clear purpose and staying passionate about what drives you. She explains, “If you find something you're sure you want to do and it makes you happy, it helps you to not give up.” She also emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and resisting the urge to let past experiences cloud your judgment.By following Sharon's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

From Consulting to Commerce Engines: Neil Twa on Amazon FBA, Algorithms, and Scaling With Intention In this episode of Uncomplicate It!, I sit down with Neil Twa, CEO and Co Founder of Voltage Holdings and co author of Almost Automated Income with FBA, for a real conversation about walking away from corporate security, embracing risk with intention, and building businesses designed to support life not consume it.Neil didn't leave IBM because he had everything figured out. He left because a series of life events created a moment where staying comfortable was no longer an option. From losing a mentor who expanded his view of abundance to being told his division was relocating overseas, Neil shares how those catalysts pushed him to finally take the leap many people talk themselves out of.We coverThe moment most people miss because fear feels safer than changeBurning the boats without burning bridgesWhy hustle culture and vanity metrics quietly break long term successAmazon FBA explained beyond hype and misinformationHow algorithms become engines when you understand demand and intentBuilding brands as saleable assets not side hustlesWhy relationships always outperform transactionsKey TakeawaysReal leverage comes from systems not hustleAlmost automated still requires ownership and leadershipBuilding to exit forces better decisions from day oneThe best entrepreneurs design businesses around life not egoLong term success compounds when purpose value and profit alignThis is a practical, no-fluff episode for founders and operators who want to build real leverage, scale with intention, and create businesses that support their life not just their revenue.Connect with Neil Twa:Website: https://voltagedm.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neiltwa/Follow Us:

In this episode of FinTech Layer Cake, Reggie Young sits down with Gokul Dhingra, Co-Founder and CEO of Narrative, to unpack how AI is reshaping compliance, oversight, and growth in the fintech ecosystem. Narrative is tackling one of the industry's biggest pain points—the rising cost of compliance and risk management—by turning oversight into a source of efficiency and even competitive advantage.Gokul shares how banks and fintechs can align around shared objectives, why complaints data is an overlooked goldmine for growth, and how Narrative uses AI to reduce operational thrash while keeping humans in the loop. The conversation digs into the misconceptions about AI “hallucinations,” the subtle ways bias shows up in both humans and algorithms, and why empathy is the ultimate differentiator in building trust with customers and regulators alike.If you've wondered what it takes to scale innovation in a highly regulated environment without sacrificing trust—or how AI can be deployed responsibly in financial services—this episode offers a roadmap from someone building it in real time.

In this interview, Camila Russo sits down with Danny Ryan — former Ethereum Foundation researcher and a key leader behind Ethereum's shift to proof of stake — now Co-Founder & President at Etherealize, to talk about the next big wave for crypto: institutional adoption of Ethereum.Recorded in Buenos Aires during Devconnect, Danny breaks down why the mood inside banks has flipped from “we can't touch crypto” to “if we don't adopt it, we'll be left behind.” We dig into what institutions actually want beyond ETFs, why the biggest opportunity isn't “tokenizing assets” but rewiring markets from first principles, and why privacy is table stakes for institutional-grade onchain finance.We also cover the regulatory whiplash of the last few years, what's changed, what still needs to be written into law, and why Danny believes Ethereum is uniquely positioned for serious capital markets infrastructure.Key topics:Why banks suddenly have Ethereum FOMOThe difference between “tokenizing assets” vs rewiring marketsWhere the biggest inefficiencies are (credit, fixed income, esoteric institutional markets)Why privacy + ZK are essential for institutionsCoordination problems, incentives, and who doesn't want markets to upgradeEthereum's edge: neutrality, uptime, decentralization, and security

Money is changing faster than most teams can update a roadmap. We sit down with Farooq Malik, Co-Founder and CEO of Rain, to unpack how stablecoins and tokenized dollars are moving from crypto headlines to the hidden plumbing of real payments - powering card programs, cross-border payouts, and embedded finance at enterprise scale.Farooq breaks down Rain's vertically integrated stack: pay-ins and payouts across ACH, wires, and Visa; support for dozens of stablecoins on 11 blockchains; and account logic that makes tokenized value feel like a familiar account, not a science project. We dig into a standout use case - a margin-backed credit card where each swipe triggers instant receivable financing in stablecoin - cutting working capital needs by about 80% and transforming the unit economics of card programs. He also shares how one API can issue regulatorily compliant products in multiple markets, letting global platforms pay creators, freelancers, and merchants in “international dollars” without stitching together country-by-country integrations.We explore the surge in institutional interest fueled by emerging regulatory clarity, the 30x volume growth Rain has seen in the last 12 months, and why broader rules could unlock 10x–100x adoption across the ecosystem. Farooq contrasts Rain's approach with reseller patchworks, highlighting the benefits of being a principal Visa member and owning the core of the stablecoin stack. Beyond stablecoins, we touch on open banking, the rise of global-first consumer apps, and how nomadic work patterns are forcing finance to follow people, not addresses.If you lead payments, product, or finance, you'll leave with a clear view of where tokenized money creates immediate value: better card economics, faster global disbursements, and simpler enterprise integrations.

Matt Bertulli and Mike Beckham sit down with Ryan Bartlett, Co-Founder, and Ben Diamond, CEO of True Classic, for their first-ever joint interview. Together, they unpack how a professional poker player and a Meta executive became one of the most formidable partnerships in DTC + built a men's and women's wear empire on the back of white t-shirts. From the early days of consulting on Facebook ads to their obsessive focus on fit, speed, and customer value, Ryan and Ben reveal why they cut 80% of their product catalog, how tariffs forced their most profitable quarter ever, and what it really means to “seek the truth” instead of being right. Plus, they get into AI-generated creative, why big brand activations are overrated, and the surprising power of giving away $100 poker chips to Uber drivers.

Software engineering is being transformed by AI faster than any other domain. Unpacking how this transformation is playing out may offer a glimpse into the future Greg Foster's journey into software engineering began in an unlikely place: a Nevada high school where he couldn't land a job at Starbucks. Instead of serving coffee, he taught himself software development. Foster developed what he calls "a lifelong obsession with the craft of software engineering". That obsession evolved from building apps to building for other builders. From Airbnb cofounding Graphite, where he now serves as CTO running what he calls "a dev tools team for the entire industry". Foster is now building the future of software development with Cursor. Foster doesn't just have a front seat to watch how AI is changing software engineering - he gets to shape the change. We caught up and talked about the past, present and future of software engineering. The takeaway? There is a world of difference between vibes and solid foundations for software engineering at scale.

This special edition episode of the NAA Apartmentcast features guest hosts Scott Wilkerson, Chief Investment Officer and Chair of the Investment Committee for Ginkgo Residential, and Chris Carter, Regional Vice President for Carter-Haston, both members of NAA's Operations Committee. They are joined by Brad Dockser, CEO and Co-Founder of GreenGen for an intriguing conversation focused on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), which itself sits at a really interesting crossroads in rental housing: Touching asset management, finance, operations, climate strategy, resident experience, and the future of real estate. There is a case to be made that ESG isn't a cost center for rental housing providers, it's a competitive advantage and a driver of value. Housing providers that integrate ESG into their operations can unlock new revenue opportunities, future-proof their assets and deliver better outcomes for residents and investors. For more information and resources on ESG, sustainability, asset management and NAA's Operations Committee, visit https://naahq.org/Please note that as is the case for all NAA Apartmentcast episodes, nothing contained within this podcast should be treated as legal advice.

If you've ever wondered, “What's actually real when it comes to UAPs, aliens, and nonhuman intelligence?”...today, you're getting real answers. This episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown cuts through decades of speculation, misinformation, and stigma to bring you hard science, firsthand research, and never-before-shared insights from one of the most credible scientists studying UAPs today. For years, the public has been left guessing—Are UFOs real? Are aliens visiting us? Are people actually being harmed? And why won't mainstream science touch this topic? That changes today. We're sitting down with Dr. Garry Nolan, Professor of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Sol Foundation (a leading research institute focused on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), and a featured expert in the hit documentary The Age of Disclosure. Dr. Nolan explains how he scientifically proved the infamous Atacama “alien” skeleton was not extraterrestrial, revealing what the DNA of true nonhuman life might actually look like if we ever encounter it. We also explore his classified-adjacent work studying UAPs, including deeply unsettling cases of alleged human injuries linked to possible UAP encounters and energy weapons, and the shocking implications these cases may have for regions of the human brain tied to intuition, perception, and consciousness itself. Dr. Nolan shares what he's uncovered from analyzing alleged UAP artifacts, including materials connected to Roswell, and how his lab studies metal fragments containing anomalies that appear to defy known physics. This episode goes where most won't—and does so with data, restraint, and scientific rigor. We're breaking down: - Why the Atacama “alien” skeleton fooled the world, and how science finally solved it - What alien or nonhuman DNA would actually look like (and why Hollywood gets it wrong) - What UAP-related human injury cases may reveal about the brain, intuition, and perception - How alleged UFO materials and Roswell fragments are analyzed at the atomic level - What Dr. Nolan believes the true goal of nonhuman intelligence might be - Why he thinks aliens should allow humanity to evolve naturally before further interference - What he personally witnessed as a child involving UAPs and nonhuman intelligence - How he responds to skepticism and backlash from fellow scientists - And whether humanity faces a physical or existential risk from alien contact This is not science fiction. This is cutting-edge science colliding with the biggest mystery of all time. Once you hear this, you may never look at reality the same way again.

When an AI agent makes a decision that costs your company millions in a lawsuit, who do you fire? Agility requires both the speed to adopt new technologies like AI agents, as well as the foresight to build the guardrails that prevent that speed from driving your brand off a cliff. Today, we're going to talk about the hidden crisis brewing behind the AI revolution: the accountability gap. As companies race to replace roles with autonomous AI agents, a critical question is being ignored: when an agent makes a biased, unethical, or simply wrong decision that harms a customer or an employee, who is actually responsible? This isn't a future problem; it's happening right now, and it poses a massive threat to brand trust, customer relationships, and legal standing. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Albert Castellana, Co-Founder & CEO at GenLayer.

The whole world is watching what is happening in Minnesota, the state at the center of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says local police won't enforce federal immigration policy. Some Republicans are now speaking out after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, with Senator Thom Tillis railing against both Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem and top White House adviser Stephen Miller. Trump responded by calling Tillis a "loser" and a frequent target of Trump, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, was attacked last night in Minneapolis. A man ran at Omar spraying an unknown substance, before he was tackled and taken away. To discuss this all, reporter Kevin Liptak joins the show.  Also on today's show: Brian A.
