"No data, no agent. Bad data, bad agent. Good data, good agent." Cris Mendes thinks data readiness is the number one reason the agentic enterprise fails, and he has the receipts — he ran the experiment on his own team before he sold it to anyone else.He's VP of Revenue at Momentum.io, acquired by Salesforce in large part because of the go-to-market motion he built there. Before that: Drift, Airtable, and LogMeIn. Before all of it, U.S. Navy search and rescue swimmer. I've known him almost twenty years and introduced him to LogMeIn myself, so take the enthusiasm here with whatever salt you need.His argument is that everyone is buying agents on top of a data layer that was never built. The average customer conversation moves about eight thousand words; maybe eight of them make it into the CRM. Companies don't have a first-party data layer, they have a human-input data layer — and that's what every agentic project quietly runs aground on.The story worth the listen: Momentum had a brutal drop-off after the first call. Rather than sampling a few calls and guessing at messaging or ICP, Cris pushed 800 first calls through deep research and got one answer back — the reps weren't prescribing a next step. So he had Momentum listen to the last ten minutes of every call and fire a clip into Slack whenever an AE either didn't prescribe or tried and missed. With humor, so it didn't read as surveillance. Prescription went through the roof. As he puts it: a team respects what you inspect, but you can't inspect everything — unless the inspecting is automated.WHAT WE COVER- Selling shovels in a gold rush, and why structured data was the bet- Why "not everything called an agent is an agent" — deciding vs. automating- The last ten minutes of a sales call as sacred ground, and how to enforce that at scale- Bringing AI into QBRs: "it got so real so fast" — no more recency bias and self-preservation dressed up as a forecast- 10x growth six quarters running, zero attrition, 95% of the team over quota — and why he credits hiring over product- Whether AI cuts headcount: expands capacity, thins middle management, and the ~10% of companies that are actually AI-forward are hiring hardest- Auto-advancing pipeline stages on deal milestones instead of trusting a rep's guess — "otherwise you're just buying something like Clari to miss your forecast very expensively"- His IDEC hiring model, and why he'd trade relevant experience for intrinsics every timeCONNECT WITH CRISLinkedIn: Cris Mendes — Cris with no H, Mendes with an SMomentum.io---The GOATS of Growth has two Founding Sponsor slots open — category exclusive, $1,250/mo, in front of GTM leaders and founders who don't answer their phones.

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, Russell Phagan — founder of FAST and a longtime fixture of the Brutality match series — joins us again to talk about FAST's newest addition: the Auto-Rifle Division. It's the first division of its kind in a mainstream two-gun series, built specifically for NFA machine guns and FRT-equipped rifles, with belt-fed and heavy-barrel setups finally getting a place to compete. We get into how the division came together, what equipment and stage requirements competitors need to know before showing up to the Parma, Idaho debut this October, and what it says about where practical shooting competition is headed now that FRTs have cleared federal court.

I help entrepreneurs build brands to seven figures and then position them for a multi-million dollar payday. The playbook we use to do it is free: ► Get the free playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K Thorne is forty years old, and everything that made it worth $3.8 billion happened in the last three. It had gone public and lost more than half its value when a private equity group took it off the market, and Procter & Gamble has now agreed to buy it with the same products on the shelf. I break down the playbook L Catterton ran, why sales roughly doubled while the price went up more than five times, and the three things besides revenue that decide what a buyer pays you, whether you would rather buy a business like this one or build one worth buying. Resources mentioned in the episode: ► The $100K Playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K (0:00) The same company, the same products, and a $3.8 billion payday three years later (1:00) The products sitting on my desk are all saturated markets, and that is the point (2:00) The terms: Procter & Gamble, all cash, and why a deal like that closes (3:00) The seller is the real story: L Catterton, from Kodiak Cakes to Nutrafol (4:00) Buy the whole company, get it off the public exchange, run the playbook in private (5:00) The new CEO went back to basics and decided who Thorne was actually for (6:00) Direct-to-consumer acquisition, after years of selling only through physicians (7:00) Auto-ship, and why keeping the customer was worth more than getting them (8:00) They refused to discount the brand, and that is what protected the margins (9:00) Plain old fish oil, sold to the person who wants the best fish oil (10:00) Lesson one, follow the money: Nutrafol, Gruns, Onnit (11:00) Thorne grew by doing less, and retention mattered more than acquisition (12:00) The part that shocked me: sales doubled, the price went up more than 5X (13:00) What actually moves a valuation: leadership, a growth story, and timing (15:00) The two ways to compress forty years into three: buy a neglected brand, or run the playbook on your own (17:00) Primal Kitchen sold to Heinz, and the big money made it better DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this Podcast Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this Podcast Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.

In dieser Folge geht es nicht nur um ein Auto, sondern auch um ein Wahrnehmungs-Phänomen. Denn manchmal stehen Autos in der der Erinnerung viel besser da als im Schauraum des Händlers. Für die erste Mercedes A-Klasse gilt das wie für kaum ein anderes Auto der Neunziger. 1997, als der innovative Kompaktwagen erscheint, ist es der peinliche Umfaller beim Elchtest, der alles überstrahlt. Und überhaupt müssen sich die Käufer erstmal an das Konzept des doppelbödigen Benz gewöhnen. Vielen wird die Genialität des Mercedes W 168 erst so richtig klar, als sich die A-Klasse längst in einen konventionellen Kompakten verwandelt hat. Tja, und demnächst wird die erste A-Klasse 30. Natürlich stellt sich da die Frage, ob sie in Zukunft neben Kult-Klassikern wie dem /8 und dem W 201, dem W 123 oder 124 bestehen kann. Ein heißes Thema – genau das Richtige für Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Christian Steiger.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

If your practice has been using the same retirement plan for years simply because "it works," you may be leaving valuable planning opportunities on the table. On this episode of 20/20 Money: The Business of Optometry, I'm joined by Jared Porter, co-founder of 401GO, for a practical conversation about how much the qualified retirement plan landscape has changed—and why optometric practice owners should periodically reevaluate whether their current plan still fits their business. We discuss why SIMPLE IRAs may no longer be as "simple" or advantageous as many owners assume, how technology has reduced much of the administrative burden historically associated with 401(k) plans, and why payroll integration should be one of the most important considerations when evaluating a provider. We also unpack some of the planning opportunities created by recent retirement-plan legislation, including startup and auto-enrollment tax credits, increased contribution opportunities, plan-design flexibility, and the ability to use profit-sharing contributions as part of a broader tax and cash-flow strategy. Jared and I also dig into an increasingly popular strategy: the mega backdoor Roth. While it can be valuable in the right circumstances, we explain why after-tax contributions aren't automatically available—or advantageous—for every practice owner and how required nondiscrimination testing can quickly change the math. This episode isn't about convincing every practice owner that they need a 401(k). It's about understanding the options available today so you can make an educated and informed decision about whether your current retirement plan is still the right tool for your practice, your employees, and your own financial independence. Some of the topics we cover include: Why SIMPLE IRAs can become limiting as a practice grows How modern 401(k)s differ from the plans many owners remember from years ago Payroll integration and what "360-degree integration" actually means Auto-enrollment requirements and recent retirement-plan legislation Tax credits that may offset the cost of establishing and operating a plan Matching versus safe-harbor non-elective contributions Using profit sharing as part of a practice owner's tax strategy Why plan design should begin with the end in mind Roth 401(k)s, after-tax contributions, and the mega backdoor Roth The testing requirements that can derail an after-tax contribution strategy NBS (Next Best Step): Pull out the details of your current retirement plan and ask your advisor to evaluate it based on today's rules—not the assumptions that were true when the plan was originally established. Specifically, review your contribution limits, employer contribution structure, payroll integration, investment flexibility, administrative costs, available tax credits, and whether profit sharing could improve your overall tax and retirement strategy.

CannCon and Zak Paine open Monday with highlights from the Freedom 250 race in DC before digging into a measles outbreak story where the actual death numbers do not match the panic, with a detour into obesity and food policy nobody seems to want to talk about. From there they cover Brandon Gill making the case for testing the legality of auto pen pardons in court, and why the Fauci prosecution might be the perfect vehicle to do it, alongside the escalating Eric Swalwell investigation. The back half includes a New York Times story on a private Jeffries and Kushner meeting fueling midterm speculation, the Postal Service quietly tightening mail in ballot requirements despite a court block, and Gavin Newsom signing a bill critics say targets investigative reporting. Plenty of tangents and easy Monday banter throughout.

Blowing four times the legal limit on a breathalyzer usually means one thing, but in 2015, a judge dismissed a DWI because the driver's own gut was fermenting alcohol from an ordinary carb-heavy dinner. It's called auto-brewery syndrome, and the fuel it runs on is the same load your muscle is supposed to be clearing from your blood.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:How gut yeast overgrowth turns everyday carbs like pasta, bread, and rice into ethanol that registers as real intoxication, brain fog, dizziness, and allThe specific risk factors that open the door: dysbiosis, SIFO, repeated antibiotic use, and poorly controlled diabetes or fatty liverThe three-part protocol to correct it, reduce the yeast burden, remove the carbohydrate fuel, and rebuild the microbiome, plus the carbohydrate challenge test, most doctors never runWhy skeletal muscle is your body's primary site for clearing blood sugar, and how an under-muscled body drifts into the same insulin-resistant, dysbiotic state that lets fermentation take holdWhether or not you'll ever face this rare diagnosis, you'll walk away understanding that gut health and muscle health share one supply chain and that defending your muscle is how you starve the problem at its root.Study & References:Woman beats DWI — her body brews alcohol (CBS News, 2015): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woman-beats-dwi-with-rare-defense-her-body-brews-alcohol/Cordell & McCarthy (2013), Int.

Und? Haste gesehen? "The Odyssey“? Ja? Dann erinnerst du dich an das schmerzverzerrte Gesicht von Odysseus, an einen Pfahl gebunden, um dem Gesang der Sirenen zu widerstehen. Genau diese Verzweiflung, dieses Leid, wie ein Juckreiz unter der Haut, an den man nicht rankommt, genau so müssen sich die Hörerinnen und Hörer von Baywatch Berlin fühlen, wenn sie sich den verführerischen Stimmen von Lundt, Schmitt & Helfer-Umlauf aussetzen. Real talk: Was ist das Gesinge der Sirenen gegen Jakobs Engelsstimme, wenn er in der vielleicht unnötigsten Rubrik der Podcastgeschichte minutenlang über sein Lieblings-Urlaubs-Desert schwadroniert. Dass der Baywatch Berlin-Kahn längst vom Kurs abgekommen ist war ja jedem klar - aber dass die Herren nichtmal mehr in der Nähe des Hafens der Vernunft segeln, erstaunt dann doch. Statt hörenswerter Gedanken gibt es bei Baywatch Berlin wieder Blödsinn im IMAX-Format: Ab welchem Wohlfühlgrad zieht unser Ferien-Zyklop Schmitt am Urlaubsstrand die Straßenschuhe aus? Was findet Klaas an einer Rezension zu einem Hundekuscheltier „bestimt auch witzig“? Warum schmuggeln sich Olli Schulz und Heuer-Umlauf in die mallorquinische Bums-und Saufmetropole Magaluf - und mussten sie sich unter all den besoffenen Engländern auch in einem Holzgaul verschanzen? Warum schreit Lundt seine Kartendienste im Auto an, die doch gar nichts von ihm wollen, außer ihm den Weg nach Hause aufzuzeigen? Und wie finden wir eigentlich die Tatsache, dass Christopher Nolan kein Handy hat und sich in der Verantwortung siehtt, diesen Umstand in jedem Interview zu erzählen? Ja, die Themen dieser Folge prasseln auf die Hörer*innen hernieder wie die Wellen des Ozeans auf den armen Odysseus. Doch während der sich retten konnte, indem er einen Bogen spannt - ist eben dieser bei Schmitt, Lundt und Helfer-Umlauf längst...überspannt.

Robotaxis are accelerating along the road to commercial viability. Auto and Shared Mobility Analysts Andrew Percoco and Tim Hsiao discuss what this rapid development means for global investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Percoco: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Percoco, Head of North America Auto and Shared Mobility Research. Tim Hsiao: And I'm Tim Hsiao, Greater China Auto and Shared Mobility Analyst.Andrew Percoco: Today, why robotaxis may be approaching a commercial inflection point. It's Thursday, August 13th at 8am in New York.Tim Hsiao: And 8 pm in Hong Kong.Andrew Percoco: So Tim, for years, robotaxis were really confined to limited pilot rollouts across the globe. You've done a lot of work over the last few weeks. We put out a big collaborative report on the robotaxi market and how it could be a $1 trillion TAM by 2040.What makes this moment different than some of the other robotaxi hype cycles that we've seen in the past? Tim Hsiao: We observe four things have been converging. Firstly, end-to-end AI is improving much faster. Secondly, hardware and the training costs are falling. And thirdly, more well-capitalized players can fund deployment. And last but not least, regulation is becoming clearer.The leading operators are no longer just demonstrating the technology. They are running fully driverless services around the clock and generating commercial rides. So in our view, the questions has been shifting from can it work to who can expand operating areas, raise utilization and lower costs at a much faster pace.So that's a very different setup versus the 2018 and 2021 hype cycles. Andrew, U.S. autonomous miles could rise from 116 million in [20]25 to 16 billion by 2032. But still make up only about 0.5 percent of all miles driven. How can robotaxis become a meaningful business while remaining such a small part of the market?Andrew Percoco: I would say, you know, obviously the U.S. mobility and transportation market is a massive market. So even with the rapid growth that we expect in robotaxis, it's going to take a long time to make a material impact in the overall market share of mobility. But if you think about the profit pools in this business, 16 billion miles at $2 a mile can, you know, pretty quickly become a very significant TAM and market opportunity.And I think, you know, fundamentally, if you think about a robotaxi business, I would argue you're better utilizing an asset... Or if you think about the, you know, car park, the amount of vehicles that are, you know, in the fleet today or in the U.S. today, they're sitting idle 90 percent of the time, right?So you're talking about taking a smaller amount of volume and driving a higher utilization on that fleet and driving much improved economics. So yes, it's going to take time to displace the, you know, hundreds of millions of cars that you have on the road in the U.S. and displace the penetration of miles driven. But ultimately, you know, we think that the profit pool and the opportunity in robotaxis are much more attractive for the entire value chain, as it relates to robotaxis. And I'd say there's a few things that we're watching along the way to make sure that, to your point, you know, this is not another hype cycle. And that there's real commercial backbone to this business.I'd say the first is seeing the rollouts continue to improve, and the density of the rollouts improve across the select cities that we've seen in the U.S. right now. Robotaxis are only available in a handful of cities in the U.S., so we want to see that continue to expand into more cities. But also the density of the fleet increase in the cities where they're currently present.And at the same time the safety side is still something that gets a lot of questions in making sure that it is truly safer than a human driver, across technology platforms, right? There's various players in this market with different approaches to technology. So, I think seeing that the safety curve is starting to or continues to improve is going to be very important for the viability of this market going forward.Obviously U.S. is very different from China. What have you seen in China? China has shown some impressive growth and utilization in some of the operators that are on the road in China. So just curious as to your perspective in terms of what you're seeing on the ground there. Tim Hsiao: I think China shows that there's much in operations and skill challenges as technology challenges. The fleet in China is above 5,000 vehicles across I think more than 7500 square kilometers in key cities. And some operators average more than 20 orders per vehicle per day.So, total cost of ownership has fallen roughly 30 to 40 percent, while remote assistance ratios are moving from like one operator for like 20 to 40, even like 50 to 60 vehicles. And we think it will achieve like one for a 100. So that has produced real break-even happens, especially in some major cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan – the tier one, tier two cities.So in our view, I think in China, wider operating domains, fleet density and utilization rate, as you just mentioned, reinforce one another. So make it some more like the real commercial case. Instead of just, like trials as we saw a couple years ago. If more value shifts towards the software, fleet operation, and the data, as well as the customer relations, how does that change the profit pool, across the auto industry, especially in the U.S.?Andrew Percoco: First off, I think the auto industry in general is becoming, you know, more software focused and aware. You know, it's being led by the robotaxi market where the autonomous driving software and technology is obviously the most important part about getting this technology to market.That is ultimately trickling down to personally owned cars where you're seeing more autonomous technology being deployed. Auto OEMs are able to charge subscription revenue for this software. So it expands, I'd say, the value proposition of buying a vehicle expands the profit pool for the OEMs.It changes in some ways the cyclicality, or can change the cyclicality of the industry if you've got more kind of recurring revenues, subscription like business model versus just a hardware focused OEM model, which has been kind of the predominant focus for the OEMs historically. I'd say the other angle, interesting angle here is, you know, as this business scales, there's gonna be a lot of vehicles on the road. There's gonna be a lot of fleets of vehicles on the road. Those need to be managed by somebody or some company, right? So if you think about, you know, the rental car industry, right? These companies have been in the business of managing fleets and renting out fleets for a very long time. They know how to do that very, very well.I think there's an interesting opportunity for that part of the value chain, to participate in aiding these robotaxi fleet operators, in scaling and bringing their business to market. Charging, maintenance, reconditioning, all the things that take a lot of time and a pretty large amount of physical infrastructure.That's an opportunity for the rental car industry to come in and leverage their existing know-how to help. And, you know, I think Tim, an important part of this commercialization process is driving down the cost structure of robotaxis. They are very sensor; heavy sensor heavy. They're very compute heavy. I think China is the clear leader on cost and supply chain. I think in China you're seeing robotaxis, you know, around $35,000 to $40,000, which is considerably lower than what we see in the U.S. today.So, how do you think that that will accelerate adoption in China, but I'd say more importantly overseas as some of these robotaxis businesses look to expand outside of China. Tim Hsiao: In our view, it could be a major accelerant because as we noticed that the depreciation is still one of the largest fixed costs for robotaxi. So, as we just mentioned, I think, $35000 to $45000 US dollars, the purpose-built robotaxi can lower the breakeven utilization threshold. And make it easier to finance fleets and open cities that could not support the $150,000 US dollar vehicle.And not only in China, because globally, I think the Chinese cost deflation can be paired with the local ride-hailing platforms in the overseas market that provide demand and regulatory access. But as we highlighted in our previous, the global reports once again, we don't think the cheap vehicle is sufficiently by their self.So in our views, on top of the competitive cost structure, registration, data localization, insurance, and local operating costs can still delay the margin curve, particularly in Europe, which we think there are still quite a lot of uncertainties. So Andrew, as we just, as we just discussed, the lower vehicle costs help, but the operating model still has to work, right? So with operating costs expected to fall and the margin potentially moving above 30 percent or even higher at scale, what are the key assumptions investors should focus on?Andrew Percoco: There's a handful of key assumptions you need to sensitize to get to that 30 percent or more margin structure in this business. I'd say the first is going to be utilization, right? You need to be running these assets at a high utilization to essentially amortize those fixed costs over a larger number of miles driven.Number two, insurance today is probably one of the largest buckets of cost when we think about this business. Insurance is, from our perspective, a big unlock for this industry as the safety, as we mentioned before, the safety data continues to improve. We think that will be a reason to, to expect that the insurance costs associated with autonomous driving technology and robotaxis will continue to decline.It's about 30 cents per mile on our estimate, so it's very significant in terms of the overall cost structure of robotaxis. Drivers or where there's the most sensitivity around the model. Obviously, there's charging costs, there's maintenance costs. Those are, I think, fairly known at this point. But the utilization and insurance, I think, are the two biggest drivers of really getting that margin profile to improve over time. Tim, I guess when you think about the next, call it 10 to 15 years, I think we will put out a trillion dollar market by 2040 from a TAM perspective.What do you think the biggest markets are that investors should be watching, in terms of getting us to that trillion dollar TAM? Obviously, U.S. and China are kinda leading now, but what are the next markets people should be watching?Tim Hsiao: In addition to the major market, as you just mentioned, the U.S. and China, in our views, I think we also need to focus on markets like Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I think their scale is underappreciated, as we highlighted in our previous report. Because if you think about that, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia in aggregate have roughly four million taxis together ride-hailing vehicles.So even with 25 percent conversion, they imply that about one million is the L4s vehicles. The Middle East offers supportive regulators, you can tell, simpler operating environments and higher fares. And if you think about the Southeast Asia, the ASEAN, I think the market has dense demand and strong local platforms.And of course, Euro markets definitely can't be ignored because Euro will move more slowly, because we think the regulations and the data rules would initially add cost. But the truth is, if you think about the European market, I think the taxis or ride-hailing fares are among the highest globally, even compared to the U.S. and rest of the world.So in our view, the material margin could be more attractive. And this market, on top of the U.S. and China, in our view, can support several regional winners. So, not only limited to a very, you know, the single one or two markets.Andrew Percoco: Yeah, it's great Tim. It sounds like, you know, the robotaxi race, if you want to put it that way, will be won by those who can really bring together technology, and a compelling cost structure while also following the proper regulations and making sure the safety is improving at a rate that's acceptable to regulators.So, Tim, thanks for taking the time to talk today.

Bob Zimmerman highlights the rapid evolution of the commercial space industry, comparing it to the early 20th-century auto boom. A major milestone includes SpaceX successfully retrieving a Starship stage from the Indian Ocean to analyze its thermal protection tiles. Zimmerman notes that the FAA is proposing to exempt spaceports from 13 environmental laws to curb "mission creep" and "lawfare." In the satellite market, Starlink's dominance has forced competitors like Hughes into bankruptcy. Internationally, Zimmerman criticizes the European Union Space Act as a regulatory disaster that could drive U.S. and Chinese businesses away from the EU market. Other notable developments include Spain's $1 billion offer to move the Thirty Meter Telescope to the Canary Islands and new evidence that near-surface ice is ubiquitous on Mars, simplifying future colonization. He also mentions the mapping of 200,000 supermassive black holes. (2)
