Disruptive warfare is a new concept to counter traditional ideas of mass with technology and unconventional strategies and tactics. How does it work, and what does it mean for airpower? We get answers from Michael Stewart, former head of the Navy's disruptive capabilities office and one of the architects behind the Hellscape defense concept. And we have this week's airpower headlines. All powered by GE!

Introduction The Red Sea crisis has settled into an uncomfortable new normal. While the initial shock caused by the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) has faded, the strategic implications of the Houthi campaign remain dangerously under-analysed in the context of future British Naval Doctrine. For the Royal Navy, the conflict would appear to cast a shadow over amphibious operations in littoral waters, where both the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and the Littoral Response Groups (LRGs) are expected to conduct their operations. The Houthi campaign has inadvertently provided an example of a scalable, repeatable model of sea denial that fundamentally challenges the operating and financial rationale of Western naval power projection. The Houthi Model involves the integration of sensors and shooters at the state level with the expendability and mass of non-state actor operations. This model poses a significant challenge for the Royal Navy, which relies on low-density, high-value assets. The Tyranny of the Cost-Exchange Ratio The frightening mathematics of modern air defence are grounded in the lessons learned from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. In the first few months of the Red Sea conflict, British destroyers, notably HMS Diamond, excelled at shooting down wave after wave of hostile tracks. However, there was an unsustainable price to pay. The Houthis' Shahed-136 derivative costs approximately $20,000. The missile required to intercept it, an Aster-15 or Sea Viper, costs at least £1 million. While individual engagements can be justified by the value of a destroyed merchant vessel or a destroyer providing escort, the economics of sustained engagement are financially disastrous. This creates a magazine depth problem that the CSG must confront. A Type 45 Destroyer has 48 vertical launch (VL) silos. In a saturation attack scenario, precisely the type the Houthi Model promotes, a destroyer may expend its entire primary magazine in minutes, shooting down targets costing its adversary less than a basic rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB). It should be noted that at present, the Royal Navy can not replenish a surface vessel's VL silos whilst at sea. Should the UK CSG deploy to the Indo-Pacific, it would face the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). However, the Houthi Model demonstrates that the PLAN need not risk its own high-value hulls to mission-kill a Queen Elizabeth-class carrier. It only needs to provide a proxy or 'maritime militia' swarm with sufficient cheap, attritable effectors to force the CSG to exhaust its magazines. Once the escorts are out of ammunition, the carrier becomes operationally irrelevant, forced to withdraw without a single capital ship being sunk. The Littoral Response Group in Crisis: The Decommissioning Dilemma The consequences for the Littoral Response Group could be the most profound. The current construct envisions the use of Bay-class and Albion-class vessels in the littoral zone to conduct 'raids' and achieve 'strategic effects' via the force insertion of Commandos. However, the basis for such an operational construct has now fundamentally changed. In March 2025, the Ministry of Defence undertook the decommissioning of HMS Albion and Bulwark, the Royal Navy's two Albion-class landing platform docks. This was an exercise in cost-cutting that has resulted in a major capability gap. This capability gap now exists at a time when there is a considerable change in the doctrine surrounding amphibious operations. Albion-class vessels were designed to deliver amphibious landing forces at the brigade level. Their absence means that the Royal Navy has to rely on three Bay-class Landing Ship Docks, vessels that are already under considerable pressure due to crewing deficits within the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. The capability gap is significant, as there are now no Bay-class vessels available to conduct sustained operations. With the Albion-class now retired, the capability deficit is pronounced. The lightweight, a...

At the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia held clear naval superiority in the Black Sea. Over the course of the war, Ukraine has developed an asymmetric maritime strategy using unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), achieving strategic effects against a superior naval force.Ukraine has largely shifted from importing complete drone systems to assembling them domestically using foreign components, with China remaining a key supplier of many critical parts. What is more, Ukraine is now preparing to export its drones internationally.In this episode, Katsiaryna Shmatsina, Eurasia Fellow at Lawfare, sits down with Cat Buchatskiy, the Director of Analytics at the Snake Island Institute, to discuss Ukraine's maritime operations in the Black Sea, the use of drones, and the supply chains behind them. Cat leads a team of analysts producing frontline-validated research on modern warfare, defense innovation, and U.S.-Ukraine security cooperation.

James St. Aubin considers risk and reward in the AI sector, arguing that winners are the ones serving the end user. He thinks that AI is “propping up the economic outlook” and warns there could be asymmetric losses as downside risk climbs. He examines a Fed at odds and what the neutral rate actually might be: “you kind of know it when you see it.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: The Asymmetric Advantage: How Cybersecurity Can Outpace AdversariesPub date: 2025-12-04Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin sits down with RunSafe Founder and CEO Joseph M. Saunders to explore why the future of cyber defense depends on disrupting attacker economics rather than racing to keep up with every new threat. Joe breaks down how organizations can gain an asymmetric advantage by reducing exploitability across entire classes of vulnerabilities, especially persistent memory safety flaws that continue to expose critical systems. He shares why adding lightweight, automated protections at build time is one of the fastest ways to shift the cost curve onto attackers without forcing massive code rewrites or slowing development teams down. Together, Paul and Joe discuss: Why attackers' resource advantage requires a new defensive mindsetThe power of “patchless” protection in embedded and OT environmentsWhy memory safety flaws persist and how to neutralize them at scaleThe risks of AI-generated code and how to prevent silent vulnerabilitiesHow Secure by Design practices improve resilience for critical infrastructure If you're responsible for securing embedded systems, OT assets, or long-lived devices where patch cycles are slow and risk is high, this episode offers a new mindset that gives defenders the upper hand.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

In Episode 6 of Dialed In, Tim and Zach share what the first few weeks of Collected have really looked like—launching while Zach was in Japan, watching hundreds of people sign up, and seeing early users build full profiles and collections without prompting. They break down what's surprising them most on both sides of the market: Insiders leaning into community instantly, and dealers needing real education before changing habits built on spreadsheets, wires, and WhatsApp. The conversation goes deep on why the biggest opportunity isn't just the sale, but everything that happens before it, and how running more of that workflow through Collected creates an asymmetric advantage over time. From CRM automation that helps Dealers find money already sitting in their business, to the standards the industry is heading toward whether it wants to or not, this episode is a candid look at early traction, real frictions, and where the market goes next when buyers and sellers finally operate on the same system.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! Last week, we discussed how you can keep your data safe with authentication and authorization. Today, we'll talk about various security risks that could threaten your systems. 00:48 Lois: And to help us understand this better, we have Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor, back with us. Orlando, welcome back! Let's start with the big picture—why is security such a crucial part of our digital world today? Orlando: Whether you are dealing with files stored on a server or data flying across the internet, one thing is always true—security matters. In today's digital world, it's critical to ensure that data stays private, accurate, and accessible only to the right people.  01:20 Nikita: And how do we keep data private, secure, and unaltered? Is there a security framework that we can use to make sense of different security practices? Orlando: The CIA triad defines three core goals of information security.  CIA stands for confidentiality. It's about keeping data private. Only authorized users should be able to access sensitive information. This is where encryption plays a huge role. Integrity means ensuring that the data hasn't been altered, whether accidentally or maliciously. That's where hashing helps. You can compare a stored hash of data to a new hash to make sure nothing's changed. Availability ensures that data is accessible when it's needed. This includes protections like system redundancy, backups, and anti-DDoS mechanisms. Encryption and hashing directly support confidentiality and integrity. And they indirectly support availability by helping keep systems secure and resilient. 02:31 Lois: Let's rewind a bit. You spoke about something called hashing. What does that mean? Orlando: Hashing is a one-way transformation. You feed in data and it produces a unique fixed length string called a hash. The important part is the same input always gives the same output, but you cannot go backward and recover the original data from the hash. It's commonly used for verifying integrity. For example, to check if a file has changed or a message was altered in transit. Hashing is also used in password storage. Systems don't store actual passwords, just their hashes. When you log in, the system hashes what you type it and compare the stored hash. If they match, you're in. But your actual password was never stored or revealed. So hashing isn't about hiding data, it's about providing it hasn't changed. So, while hashing is all about protecting integrity, encryption is the tool we use to ensure confidentiality. 03:42 Nikita: Right, the C in CIA. And how does it do that? Orlando: Encryption takes readable data, also known as plaintext, and turns it into something unreadable called ciphertext using a key. To get the original data back, you need to decrypt it using the right key. This is especially useful when you are storing sensitive files or sending data across networks. If someone intercepts the data, all they will see is gibberish, unless they have the correct key to decrypt it. Unlike hashing, encryption is reversible as long as you have the right key. 04:23 Lois: And are there different types of encryption that serve different purposes? Orlando: Symmetric and asymmetric encryption. With symmetric encryption, the same key is used to both encrypt and decrypt the data. It's fast and great for securing large volumes of data, but the challenge lies in safely sharing the key. Asymmetric encryption solves that problem. It uses a pair of keys: public key that anyone can use to encrypt data, and a private key that only the recipient holds to decrypt it. This method is more secure for communications, but also slower and more resource-intensive. In practice, systems often use both asymmetric encryption to exchange a secure symmetric key and then symmetric encryption for the actual data transfer. 05:21 Nikita: Orlando, where is encryption typically used in day-to-day activities? Orlando: Data can exist in two primary states: at rest and in transit. Data at rest refers to data stored on disk, in databases, backups, or object storage. It needs protection from unauthorized access, especially if a device is stolen or compromised. This is where things like full disk encryption or encrypted storage volumes come in. Data in transit is data being sent from one place to another, like a user logging into a website or an API sending information between services. To protect it from interception, we use protocols like TLS, SSL, VPNs, and encrypted communication channels. Both forms data need encryption, but the strategies and threats can differ. 06:19 Lois: Can you do a quick comparison between hashing and encryption? Orlando: Hashing is one way. It's used to confirm that data hasn't changed. Once data is hashed, it cannot be reversed. It's perfect for use cases like password storage or checking the integrity of files. Encryption, on the other hand, it's two-way. It's designed to protect data from unauthorized access. You encrypt the data so only someone with the right key can decrypt and read it. That's what makes it ideal for keeping files, messages, or network traffic confidential. Both are essential for different reasons. Hashing for trust and encryption for privacy. 07:11 Adopting a multicloud strategy is a big step towards future-proofing your business and we're here to help you navigate this complex landscape. With our suite of courses, you'll gain insights into network connectivity, security protocols, and the considerations of working across different cloud platforms. Start your journey to multicloud today by visiting mylearn.oracle.com.  07:39 Nikita: Welcome back! When we talk about cybersecurity, we hear a lot about threats and vulnerabilities. But what do those terms really mean? Orlando: In cybersecurity, a threat is a potential danger and a vulnerability is a weakness an asset possess that a threat can exploit. When a threat and a vulnerability align, it creates a risk of harm. A threat actor then performs an exploit to leverage that vulnerability, leading to undesirable impact, such as data loss or downtime. After an impact, the focus shifts to response and recovery to mitigate damage and restore operations.  08:23 Lois: Ok, let's zero in on vulnerabilities. What counts as a vulnerability, and what categories do attackers usually target first?  Orlando: Software and hardware bugs are simply unintended flaws in a system's core programming or design. Misconfigurations arise when systems aren't set up securely, leaving gaps. Weak passwords and authentication provide easy entry points for attackers. A lack of encryption means sensitive data is openly exposed. Human error involves mistakes made by people that unintentionally create security risks. Understanding these common vulnerability types is the first step in building more resilient and secure systems as they represent the critical entry points attackers leverage to compromise systems and data. By addressing these, we can significantly reduce our attack surface and enhance overall security.  09:28 Nikita: Can we get more specific here? What are the most common cybersecurity threats that go after vulnerabilities in our systems and data? Orlando: Malware is a broad category, including viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware. Its goal is to disrupt or damage systems. Ransomware has been on the rise, targeting everything from hospitals to government agencies. It lock your files and demands a ransom, usually in cryptocurrency. Phishing relies on deception. Attackers impersonate legitimate contacts to trick users into clicking malicious links or giving up credentials. Insider threats are particularly dangerous because they come within employees, contractors, or even former staff with lingering access. Lastly, DDoS attacks aim to make online services unavailable by overwhelming them with traffic, often using a botnet—a network of compromised devices. 10:34 Lois: Orlando, can you walk us through how each of these common cybersecurity threats work? Orlando: Malware, short for malicious software, is one of the oldest and most pervasive types of threats. It comes in many forms, each with unique methods and objectives. A virus typically attaches itself to executable files and documents and spreads when those are shared or opened. Worms are even more dangerous in networked environments as they self-replicate and spread without any user action. Trojans deceive users by posing as harmless or helpful applications. Once inside, they can steal data or open backdoors for remote access. Spyware runs silently in the background, collecting sensitive information like keystrokes or login credentials. Adware might seem like just an annoyance, but it can also track your activity and compromise privacy. Finally, rootkits are among the most dangerous because they operate at a low system level, often evading detection tools and allowing attackers long-term access. In practice, malware can be a combination of these types. Attackers often bundle different techniques to maximize damage.  12:03 Nikita: And what about ransomware? Why it is such a serious threat? Orlando: Ransomware has become one of the most disruptive and costly types of cyber attacks in recent years. Its goal is simple but devastating, to encrypt your data and demand payment in exchange for access. It usually enters through phishing emails, insecure remote desktop protocol ports or known vulnerabilities. Once inside, it often spreads laterally across the network before activating, ensuring maximum impact. There are two common main forms. Crypto ransomware encrypts user files, making them inaccessible. Locker ransomware goes a step further, locking the entire system interface, preventing any use at all. Victims are then presented with a ransom note, typically requesting cryptocurrency payments in exchange for the decryption key. What makes ransomware so dangerous is not just the encryption itself, but the pressure it creates. Healthcare institutions, for instance, can't afford the downtime, making them prime targets.  13:18 Lois: Wow. Thanks, Orlando, for joining us today.  Nikita: Yeah, thanks Orlando.

Ritavan argues that constantly chasing AI, cloud, or the latest tech is like an investor jumping between market fads—you're not playing the long game or building real competitive advantage.20:30 - Revolutionary perspective on value creation paradigms throughout history: hunter-gatherers relied 40-60% on traps (automation), agriculture depended on land, industrial age on machinery and raw materials, while the digital paradigm offers zero replication costs and near-zero personalization costs.27:00 - Introduces the SLASOG framework: Save (capital preservation, avoid groupthink), Leverage (find asymmetric opportunities), Align (commander's intent), Simplify (remove clutter), Optimize (maximize returns), Compound (play the long game), Keep (retain gains).36:30 - Roger Federer insight: He won only 54% of points but 80% of games due to tennis's nonlinear scoring system—a powerful metaphor for business success requiring asymmetric opportunities, not perfection.41:00 - Teaching the first LLM-native college students: Traditional assessment is obsolete when AI can summarize and synthesize better than humans. The solution? Open-ended problems with no single answer, forcing genuine creativity and collaboration.48:30 - Napoleon's battlefield genius: treating each battle from first principles, understanding the system, finding nonlinear advantages, and pioneering "commander's intent"—ensuring even illiterate foot soldiers understood strategic goals, not just tactical orders.54:45 - The North Star metric concept: Legacy businesses obsess over EBIT (backward-looking), but digital-age companies need forward-looking metrics that quantify customer value delivery to enable rapid adaptation and compounding gains.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

In this episode, Momo sits down with his friend and long-time flatmate, Sohail, a mathematician, for a relaxed conversation about RSA cryptography—how it works and why it was revolutionary. Sohail breaks down the math behind RSA with clear, accessible examples and shares bonus fun facts about mathematics, broken predictions, and the future of math in an open-source world.---Hardy writes: "The 'real' mathematics of the 'real' mathematicians, the mathematics of Fermat and Euler and Gauss and Abel and Riemann, is almost wholly 'useless'."A similar quote is attributed to Gauss, Sohail's beloved mathematician. He jokingly said "I must have committed blasphemy by attributing it to someone else." Here's the exact quote:"Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and number theory is the queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but under all circumstances she is entitled to first rank."---00:58 – Sohail's background in mathematics03:23 – Math and real-world applications08:11 – Asymmetric cryptography (like public-key cryptography) vs. symmetric cryptography (like the Caesar cipher)11:18 – Remembering Gauss and Gauss Junior15:55 – Is asymmetric cryptography mind-blowing?17:53 – Why RSA cryptography was ground-breaking21:01 – Explaining RSA through the “suitcase” analogy25:09 – The math behind RSA32:18 – What kinds of functions can be used in RSA?34:58 – Clock-like modular functions in RSA40:59 – Fermat's Little Theorem as the basis of RSA48:11 – A more complex function than Fermat's Little Theorem used in RSA50:43 – How your password reaches your bank securely using RSA59:41 – Do my function and my bank's function need to match in RSA?01:01:19 – The importance of prime numbers in cryptography01:04:06 – Accessible resources for math enthusiasts01:05:40 – Nuance: which exponentiation operations are invalid in RSA01:10:25 – Can a hacker intercept and decode an RSA-encrypted message?01:12:28 – Why the move to elliptic curves?01:14:00 – Other real-world applications of number theory01:19:03 – The future of mathematics---Fermat's little theorem explanation:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_little_theoremThe channel for explaining math concepts in simple words, 3Blue1Brown.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an incredible new game by French developers Sandfall Interactive, and it is AMAZING. This is not a light lift for you TTRPG folks who may want to emulate the game at the table, but that doesn't mean there isn't a LOT for you to mine for your own games without having to try and replicate this masterpiece.   Take home notes: Asymmetric design is awesome, and each character feeling like they're doing something unique and totally different is a great way to keep things interesting while finding combos and letting people have an experience that matches their preferred style of game while at the same table. Flawed characters are better than "good ones," because flaws give your characters things to challenge, overcome, or fall into to make their triumph over a struggle that much better. Slow. Drip. Knowledge to pace decision making and draw parallels or crossroads for certain characters based on information learned about the wider world or story of your campaign. This makes conflict both external and internal to the characters and resonates more than just "wow that was a tough combat!" Monoco is the best, you won't convince me otherwise.   Oh and good news, the team at Sandfall has already said that Expedition 33 is only one of the many stories they want to tell within the greater concept of Clair Obscur. THAT'S EXCITING!   ----more---- Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

Rob Biederman has sat on both sides of the table — first as co-founder and CEO of Catalant Technologies, and now as managing partner at Asymmetric Capital Partners. In this candid conversation, he explains why so much of the conventional wisdom around startups is actually counterproductive. He breaks down why design partners don't equal traction, why headcount growth is a vanity metric, and why Silicon Valley should stop romanticizing failure. He also shares how Asymmetric evaluates founders, what investors really care about, and the simple test every startup should use to prove they're solving a real problem. If you're a founder chasing milestones that look good on a pitch deck but don't move the business forward, this episode of Fund/Build/Scale is a reality check you won't hear anywhere else.   RUNTIME 43:43   EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:46) “ We have a probably a couple points of differentiation with the broader market.” (4:46) “ Our happiest spot is kind of in the two-to-six million range for our first check.” (5:39) “ We want to get to know people probably a year or two before they're going to found so we can really see what they're about and really understand.” (7:20) “ I think we'd hire most of our founders as investors at our firm, if we had the chance.” (10:11) What makes a startup  relevant, credible, or just differentiated? (11:32) An easy framework for self-auditing your startup idea. (13:09) “ I think our industry kind of worships at the altar of failure a little too much.” (15:08) “ We don't actually really love backing people directly from really big companies.” (17:00) Rob explains why design partners are a distraction, not a path to real traction. (21:23) “ If you're gonna get one career, why not spend it trying to trick the world into doing something differently?” (24:17) One metric founders love that does not predict success from an investor's perspective. (25:08) Inside Asymmetric Capital Partners' four-step pitch review process. (27:27) Why the best data rooms are simple: “they have no spin.” (29:46) Rob describes how his firm's advisor partner model works. (31:49) The first step in GTM: “ get to the bottom of why your customer is buying from you.” (35:18) At the start, tell investors “everything you haven't figured out” so you can start planning. (38:17) “ If you don't tell your doctor the truth, what can they do for you?” (41:02) What he would do differently if he were launching a startup today.

Triggers increased vascular permeability → fluid shifts into tissues. Etiologies Histamine-mediated (anaphylaxis) Associated with urticaria/hives, pruritus, and redness. Triggered by allergens (foods, insect stings, medications). Rapid onset (minutes to hours). Bradykinin-mediated Hereditary angioedema (HAE): C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency (autosomal dominant). Acquired angioedema: Associated with B-cell lymphoma, autoimmune disease, MGUS. Medication-induced: Most commonly ACE inhibitors; rarely ARBs. Typically lacks urticaria and itching. Gradual onset, can last days if untreated. Idiopathic angioedema Unknown cause; diagnosis of exclusion. Clinical Presentations Swelling Asymmetric, non-pitting, usually non-painful. May involve lips, tongue, face, extremities, GI tract. Respiratory compromise Upper airway swelling → stridor, dyspnea, sensation of throat closure. Airway obstruction is the most feared complication. Abdominal manifestations

About ColeCole Wehrle is one of the most innovative minds in board game design today. Cole is a partner at Leder Games, but best-known as the creator of Root, the woodland war game that redefined asymmetric play. Cole's work reaches far beyond cute meeples and clever mechanics, with a background in history and a career in academia, Cole approaches game design as a way to explore systems of power, narrative ambiguity, and the complexity of human behavior. In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into the tension between control and chaos, discussing how historical research fuels good design, and why the best games ask players to grapple with uncomfortable truths. Whether you're designing your first prototype or searching for deeper meaning in your work, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what games can do.

The weeks leading up to Pump.fun's ICO were contentious: accusations that it was extractive, debates over decentralization, and outrage over allocations.  In the end, the company pulled off the third-largest ICO in crypto history, raising $600 million in 12 minutes. The day of, Solana barely flinched under the load, and onchain platforms like Hyperliquid and Raydium left CEXes looking outdated. In this episode of Unchained, Haseeb Qureshi of Dragonfly and Joe McCann of Asymmetric join Laura to break down: Whether this marks the return of ICOs The objections to the small ($10 million) airdrop to creators How Pump.fun's ambitions could reshape memecoins, and maybe Solana itself And why TikTok might not need to worry just yet Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Xapo Bank Ledn Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner of Dragonfly Joe McCann, Founder, CEO & CIO of Asymmetric Previous coverage on the ICO: Pump.fun's $1 Billion ICO Has Caused Controversy.

My guest on the show today is Jerome, Portfolio Manager at Uzo Capital. Jerome brings a unique lens to public equity investing—shaped by his experience on the equity trading floor at Merrill Lynch during the financial crisis, his global perspective, and a profitable venture in music royalties. In this episode, we dive into Jerome's barbell investment approach: pairing stable, cash-generative compounders with higher-risk, venture-style bets in the public markets. He walks us through how he identifies “asymmetric” opportunities—where the upside far outweighs the downside—particularly in companies that are either undiscovered or undergoing transformational change. Jerome also shares how his music royalty business, which generates steady, recurring cash flow, provides the emotional and financial runway to take bold swings on high-risk, high-reward ideas. He discusses how this foundation enables him to withstand volatility and dig deeper into ideas that others may overlook. We cover a lot in this conversation—from PLBY, McCoy Global, and Comstock, to his thesis around durable, capital-light growth businesses and the importance of identifying "free call options" within complex situations. Jerome also lays out a thoughtful framework for due diligence and portfolio sizing that helps manage both risk and conviction. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast. I am not a shareholder in any of them.
