Yladrea Drummond went from being “team no care about the law" to becoming a highly successful trial attorney and solo firm owner in Maryland and DC. She openly shares the grit required to get barred after a seven-year journey, how she transitioned her practice from family law to dominating criminal defense, and the non-negotiable value of complete autonomy that running her own firm provides. This conversation is a raw, honest look at the transition from legal disappointment to becoming a respected "big dog in court" who is truly building a legacyLAWYER SIDE HUSTLESWhile Yladrea is a self-proclaimed "workhorse" focused on the rapid expansion and day-to-day operations of her successful trial firm, she also acknowledges the importance of creative outlets that serve as a side interest and a form of therapy. Her personal hustle is in the realm of writing, specifically fiction, which is a powerful creative counterbalance to the high-stress demands of her criminal defense practice.“I love to write,” Yladrea Drummond shares in Episode 213 of You Are a Lawyer.Although the fiction novel was ultimately shelved, Yladrea recognizes her love for writing remains strong. She notes that if she were to pursue a writing project now, after achieving success in her firm, she would aim to share her professional expertise in a non-traditional format.LISTEN TO LEARNHow to protect your peace and stay grounded in high-pressure legal rolesWhat it looks like to lead authentically, even in corporate settingsWhy saying “yes” to rest is essential for longevity in the legal fieldWE ALSO DISCUSSThe pressures of overachievement and burnout in lawBlack joy, healing, and the power of communityRedefining success beyond titles and traditional career pathsPartnership: Did you know that children as young as 10 can be prosecuted as adults in Pennsylvania? You Are A Lawyer has partnered with YSRP, the Youth Sentencing and Re-Entry Project, to bring awareness to their fight to keep young people out of adult prisons and to advocate for youth lifers. Visit YSRP.org to support this cause.

Shocktober continues with Marina de Van's unnerving and unforgettable In My Skin (Dans ma peau, 2002). Written, directed by, and starring de Van, the film follows Esther, a successful marketing executive whose accidental leg injury opens a darkly intimate portal to obsession and self-discovery. As she becomes fixated on her own wound, Esther's relationship with her body—and reality itself—begins to unravel in a visceral exploration of autonomy, alienation, and flesh as frontier.Axel Kohagen and Ben Buckingham join Mike for a deep dive into de Van's fearless vision, its connection to the New French Extremity, and the uneasy beauty found beneath the skin.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Varun Jain, Of Counsel, K&L Gates joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why the next 15 months will define autonomous vehicle policy in America. With new leadership at NHTSA and growing interest in Congress, Varun outlines why the next 15 months will be pivotal for establishing a national autonomous vehicle framework. From updating outdated FMVSS standards to expanding autonomous vehicle testing authority, and with proposed legislation such as the Self-Drive Act, America Drives Act, and Autonomous Vehicle Acceleration Act, a comprehensive federal framework may finally be within reach.Throughout the conversation, Varun emphasizes that the momentum for autonomy is shifting from concept to mainstream adoption. He and Grayson explore how public acceptance, economic opportunity, and clear messaging can drive the next wave of policy action, comparing the potential trajectory of autonomous vehicles to the rapid regulatory turnaround that benefited crypto. The discussion underscores that safety, job creation, and U.S. competitiveness all hinge on one thing; passing a national autonomous vehicle framework that includes trucks over 10,001 pounds.Episode Chapters0:00 The Road to Autonomy Introduction0:23 Autonomous Vehicle Policy Outlook12:37 Why is Now the Time for a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?17:31 Activating Public Engagement 23:04 Job Creation 24:45 Learning from the Crypto Industry 28:51 Messaging 31:40 What Will it take to get a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?35:56 Managing Regulations 41:25 When go we get a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?Recorded on Friday, September 26, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Sarah Allen, double board-certified physician, founder, and chief medical officer of Skin Clique, to explore how mobile aesthetics are transforming skin health and access to care.Dr. Allen's journey began with a negative patient experience—one that left her feeling dismissed and unseen. That moment sparked her mission to build Skin Clique, a brand dedicated to ensuring no one feels brushed aside when seeking aesthetic or wellness treatments.Unlike rushed, one-size-fits-all clinic visits, Skin Clique delivers care where patients feel most comfortable—in their homes, virtually, or at one of 50+ locations nationwide. Every provider arrives with a fully equipped “mobile office,” ensuring the same safety and protocols as a traditional clinic. But the real difference is time: providers spend meaningful sessions understanding goals, tailoring treatments, and building long-term trust.Beyond aesthetics, Skin Clique embraces what Dr. Allen calls “confidence medicine”—a holistic approach that includes neuromodulators, fillers, microneedling, hair restoration, weight management, and medical-grade skincare. It's not about quick fixes, but about strategies that support both beauty and health over time.The episode also dives into the brand's rigorous training model, which mirrors medical residency more than industry crash courses. With mentorship, continuing education, and strict credentialing, Skin Clique raises the bar for safety and standards across aesthetics.From accessibility to longevity-driven skincare, Dr. Allen shows why Skin Clique is more than an aesthetics brand—it's a movement toward medicine that prioritizes trust, personalization, and empowerment.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the accelerating global expansion of robotaxis. In London, Wayve is proving its adaptable, AI-powered autonomous system can navigate complex roadways, from double roundabouts to unpredictable pedestrian interactions without reliance on LiDAR.Wayve's strategy of working hand-in-hand with OEMs sets it apart from Tesla's vision-only approach, allowing flexibility depending on manufacturer demands. At the same time, institutional investors are beginning to pay more attention to the autonomous vehicles, particularly focusing not just on the technology, but on broader ecosystem of energy, fleet management, and vehicle depreciation that will define the autonomy economy.Meanwhile, the Middle East is rapidly positioning itself as an autonomy hub. Dubai has granted Baidu Apollo permits with an eye toward fully driverless operations by 2026, while at the same time Uber introduced an autonomous vehicle tier in Abu Dhabi.As the U.K., EU, and UAE push ahead on autonomy, the race to define the global robotaxi market is intensifying, reshaping not just mobility, but the economics underpinning the future of global autonomous vehicle fleets.Episode Chapters0:00 Live from London3:02 Wayve in London10:47 UK & EU Autonomous Vehicle Regulations 13:20 Moove & the Management of Autonomous Vehicles 17:44 UK AV Market18:47 Waymo in New York 21:29 D.C.

Jeannie Rhee is one of the nation's leading litigators, with the awards and accolades to prove it—including, most recently, recognition last month from Forbes as one of America's Top 250 Lawyers. But her legal career is not only impressive; it's also very interesting.The past few years have been extremely eventful for Jeannie. From 2017 until 2019, she worked on a matter you might have heard of: special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. She then became a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Paul Weiss—her professional home until May 2025, when she and several other partners left (itself a newsworthy event).Together with top trial lawyers Karen Dunn (a past podcast guest) and Bill Isaacson, Jeannie co-founded Dunn Isaacson Rhee—in my opinion, the most exciting new firm to launch in 2025 to date. And since starting DIR, Jeannie continues to handle headline-making cases—most notably, the federal government's antitrust case against Google.Why did Jeannie and her partners leave Paul Weiss? What is their vision for DIR as a firm? Looking back in light of recent events, what does she think about her work on the Mueller investigation? We covered all this and more, including Jeannie's service as a D.C. federal prosecutor and at the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, in the latest Original Jurisdiction podcast.Show Notes:* Jeannie S.

In this Talk Dizzy to Me episode, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. Mike Studer, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, CSRP, CBFP, FAPTA to unpack neuroplasticity—what it is, how it works, and how to apply it in vestibular rehabilitation. We cover dual tasking, prediction error, fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement, motivational interviewing, and patient-directed dosage using the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning. Mike shares practical clinic and real-life examples (driving, grocery stores, cooking), mic-drop lines you'll quote to patients, and how to talk to insurers using objective measures.If busy visuals or movement bother you, consider listening on Apple Podcasts/Spotify.Neuroplasticity = learning. It's not just more pathways; it's stronger, faster, better-fed pathways that consolidate during sleep.Dose the meaningful. Intensity, repetitions, salience, and task specificity drive consolidation (“put a post-it on that memory”).Exposure works. Habituation/adaptation creates prediction error (“that wasn't as bad as I expected”), reinforcing change via dopamine.Fear shows up in movement. Beyond fear-avoidant behavior, watch for fear-adapted movement (reduced head turns, co-contraction, slow/over-intentional strategies).Dual tasking is two goals, not ‘think-and-move' toward one goal. Use cognitive+motor or visual+motor loads that are personally salient.Autonomy accelerates progress. Let patients choose dosage (keep, dial down, or push), using motivational interviewing and OPTIMAL theory.No expiration date. Neuroplastic change remains possible well beyond 1 year—set expectations and use objective measures to justify care.Connect with MikeEmail: mike@mikestuder.comWebsite: mikestuder.comInstagram: @MikeStuderDPTBook: The Brain That Chooses ItselfTime Stamps03:29 Neuroplasticity defined 05:21 Core principles: intensity, repetitions, salience, task specificity, sleep consolidation09:35 Zooming into vestibular rehab10:06 VR as proof of neuroplasticity; predictive processing 11:32 Habituation/adaptation as exposure-based therapy; links to pain & psychology13:32 Fear, expectations, and patient education14:28 Therapeutic alliance: precision starts with the person17:42 Treating fear: exposure-response prevention & prediction error (dopamine wins)20:05 Dosage variables + motivational interviewing + OPTIMAL theory21:27 Threat perception, amygdala, and “roadblocking” fear pathways24:13 Fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement (new concept in progress)26:11 Cognitive load, exhaustion, and dual-task intolerance29:32 Building alliance between sessions (check-ins)30:00 What dual tasking is (and isn't): two separate goals31:32 Clinic examples: cognitive+motor; visual+motor with busy backgrounds34:51 Real life: driving with kids, grocery stores, cooking; task switching vs. dual tasking38:40 Overtraining in clinic to empower life outside39:10 Progression: patient-controlled dosage (autonomy)43:27 Neuroplasticity at any age; caveats for degenerative conditions45:26 “Road crew at night” metaphor; why sleep matters47:13 The “1-year” myth; talking to insurers with objective measures49:27 Mic-drop linesHosted by:

Jared Hinton M.A, M.A.T, LCMHC is a psychotherapist in private practice in Asheville, NC. Jared is a husband, father, and a person in long-term recovery. His work focuses on helping individuals and couples heal from patterns of ancestral, familial, and relational trauma. Jared is a graduate of Naropa University's Contemplative and Buddhist Psychology program and a student of the Appalachian Gestalt Institute in Asheville. In this episode, Jared and I discuss the relationship dynamics of codependency, differentiation and autonomy in relationships. They're how people interact emotionally in a relationship, not just fixed traits or parts. Healthy relationships usually balance all three: less codependency, more differentiation and solid autonomy so nobody feels trapped or smothered. Connect with Jared Hinton: Jaredhinton.org Email:jaredhintonpsychotherapy@gmail.com Online Men's Work Program Fall 2025 Jared will be launching a 9-week Men's Work course later this year. The program will examine internalized conditioning around masculinity, question outdated roles and expectations, come to terms with new roles and functions as a man in today's world, and reconnect with parts of self that have been suppressed or forgotten.  The course will explore emotional awareness, male development, archetypes and initiation, honesty, vulnerability, grief and purpose. The aim is to anchor in sense of connection, community, and know-how that can create lasting change and build a consistent path forward through daily rituals and practices. Let's Talk About It!

Martyn Briggs, Director, Thematic Investing Strategy, Bank of America joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why 2035 might be the year the car peaks and what that means for the market. Breakthroughs in AI, falling sensor costs, and favorable regulation have shifted autonomy from a “moonshot” to a fast-emerging industry and soon, a global economy that we call the autonomy economy. During the conversation Grayson and Martyn explore Bank of America's forecast of a $1.2 trillion total addressable market for autonomous vehicles by 2040, spanning not only passenger cars but also logistics, ports, mining, and agriculture.They discuss how generative AI, simulation, and neural networks are accelerating deployment and why autonomy is becoming a critical solution to labor shortages worldwide. The conversation also highlights regional adoption trends, the geopolitics shaping the autonomous vehicle race, and the more than $200 billion already invested since 2010, signaling a clear shift into commercialization and long-term opportunities for both technology developers and investors.Episode Chapters0:00 The Road to Autonomy Introduction0:23 Bank of America: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles Report10:26 UK Public Opinion on Autonomous Vehicles 16:24 Autonomous Vehicle Market Constraints 18:03 Autonomous Vehicles and Tourism20:20 Foxconn22:42 Personally-Owned Autonomous Vehicles and the Growth of Licensing 28:05 The Growing Autonomy Markets34:39 Autonomous Trucking38:57 Robotaxi Costs41:33 Peak Car and Increasing Autonomous Vehicle Investments 46:57 Institutional Investors 51:38 AI Data54:56 Chinese Autonomous Vehicle Market58:59 Autonomous Vehicles ChatGPT MomentRecorded on Thursday, September 25, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

What happens when we give students meaningful choices in their learning? In this episode, Sharona and Boz dive deep into the role of student choice, autonomy, and agency in both K–12 and higher education classrooms.They start with a simple question: if nearly every school and district mission statement includes “lifelong learners,” how do our grading practices actually support—or undermine—that goal? From there, they explore how alternative grading practices can not only give students more options but also build genuine agency that empowers learners to set goals, take action, and connect their education to their lives. Key Topics Covered:The difference between choice, autonomy, and agency—and why it matters.Real classroom examples, from multiple-choice homework sets to open-ended calculus projects.Research highlights, including a Science Advances study on how giving students control over attendance and homework increased their engagement and persistence.Why students often choose harder work (and stick with it!) when the choice is theirs.How alternative grading systems like Triple P (Preparation, Participation, Practice), contract grading, and ungrading create space for authentic student agency.The role of AI and efficient tools in helping instructors offer tailored pathways without burning out.Practical strategies for weaving agency directly into learning outcomes.Takeaway:Student choice alone isn't enough. To truly prepare learners for life beyond the classroom, we need to design systems that move from choice → autonomy → agency, and grading reform is a powerful way to get there.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

In this segment from the 28 September 2025 Sunday Morning Live Donors stream, Stefan explores the complexities of toddler behavior and effective parenting strategies through the lens of a parent's experience with their three-year-old son asserting autonomy in choosing the order of sock-wearing. He discusses the natural power struggle that arises as children test boundaries, suggesting that parents can foster reasoning skills by engaging in open dialogue rather than giving in to demands. Key concepts include negotiating desires, recognizing the universality of rules through Kant's categorical imperative, and understanding the importance of trade-offs in social interactions. Ultimately, Stefan advocates for parents to expose their children to discussions around preferences and boundaries to promote empathy and critical thinking as they mature.Preview the full show here: https://premium.freedomain.com/19ec9b33/sunday-morning-live-subscribers-stream-28Subscribers can get the full show here:X: https://x.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1972385183857848822Locals: https://freedomain.locals.com/post/7322380/sunday-morning-live-subscribers-stream-28-september-2025Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/posts/2097674Freedomain Members: https://freedomain.com/sunday-morning-live-subscribers-stream-28-september-2025/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1Not yet a subscriber?

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the upcoming release of Tesla FSD 14, Waymo's potential expansion to London and Nuro taking delivery of their first Lucid-built robotaxi.What will the highly anticipated release of FSD 14 (Supervised) mean for the market? Could reduced driver monitoring signal that Tesla is inching closer to FSD Unsupervised? One thing is clear no matter what, Tesla's vertical integration and production scale position it to deploy robotaxis faster than anyone, including Waymo, which remains dependent on its manufacturing partners. Later the conversation then turns to Waymo's London ambitions and what this expansion could reveal about its evolving relationship with Uber. As for Uber, where do they ultimately want to go in autonomy, and how do they want the market to perceive their strategy? Is it time to acknowledge they won't be over reliant on Waymo to scale, and instead focus on growing the Nuro/Lucid partnership globally? The answers aren't yet clear, but the possibilities are endless as Uber expands deeper into the robotaxi market.Episode Chapters0:00 FSD 146:44 Waymo Eyes London Expansion9:17 Does Uber Launch Robotaxis in Nashville without Waymo?11:35 Waymo Market Predictions15:13 Tesla Market Predictions17:53 Amazon's Continued Commitment to Zoox23:26 Nuro Takes Delivery of First Lucid-Built Robotaxi28:43 Nissan ProPilot powered by Wayve31:08 Kodiak Goes Public32:22 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, September 25, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Only Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas have questioned the Trust Doctrine and Plenary Powers Doctrine. They all call themselves "justices", so where is the justice and where are Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor?

China rebuked the European Commission for unwarrantedly and wantonly imposing sanctions on Chinese entities in its previous packages of sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis, based on the false allegation that they are "supporting" Russia's military. However, the commission targeted more Chinese entities in a sweeping new package of sanctions against Russia over the weekend.此前，欧盟委员会借乌克兰危机对俄实施多轮制裁时，以所谓“支持”俄罗斯军事为由无端肆意制裁中国实体，中国已就此予以谴责。然而，该委员会在周末推出的新一轮大规模对俄制裁中，又将更多中国实体列为制裁目标。In its 19th package of sanctions since the start of the Ukraine crisis, the European Commission added 12 Chinese enterprises to its blacklist, targeting refineries, oil traders and petrochemical companies. Subject to approval by all EU member states, the sanctions purportedly demonstrate that "Europe is increasing its pressure on Russia", according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.这是乌克兰危机爆发以来欧盟推出的第19轮对俄制裁，欧盟委员会将12家中国企业纳入黑名单，涉及炼油厂、石油贸易商及石化企业。欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩表示，该制裁方案需经所有欧盟成员国批准，据称此举是为了表明“欧洲正加大对俄罗斯的施压力度”。China is not the creator of, nor is it a party to the Ukraine crisis. It remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting peace talks and playing a constructive role in multilateral efforts to realize a political settlement of the crisis. By trying to demonize the normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian entities as efforts to "support" Russia's military, the European Union is simply trying to shift the blame onto China for its own failure to end the conflict.中国并非乌克兰危机的制造者，也不是冲突当事方。中国始终坚定致力于推动和谈，在多边框架下为实现危机政治解决发挥建设性作用。欧盟将中俄实体间的正常交流合作污蔑为“支持”俄罗斯军事，实则是为自身未能推动冲突结束而试图将责任转嫁中国。The commission has apparently realized that Ukraine, despite the support it is receiving from the United States and the EU, is unlikely to defeat Russia on the battlefield. And that the bloc cannot impose comprehensive sanctions against Russia without harming its own interests. It is using sanctions against third parties, such as China, as a form of virtue signaling and as an attempt to appease the White House. It is a display of the EU's willingness to do the US' bidding on the issue, rather than as a genuine effort to end the conflict.欧盟委员会显然已意识到，尽管乌克兰得到美国和欧盟的支持，但在战场上击败俄罗斯的可能性不大；同时，欧盟若对俄罗斯实施全面制裁，必将损害自身利益。因此，其将对中国等第三方实施制裁作为一种“道德表态”，试图以此讨好美国政府。这一做法表明，在该问题上欧盟甘愿听从美国指令，而非真心实意推动冲突结束。The US administration has called on the EU to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on China and India, as part of its efforts to pressure Beijing and New Delhi to cut their purchases of Russian oil and end their "aid" to Russia. This is another sign of the US' exploitative approach to the EU on the Ukraine crisis and tariffs. The US administration recently admitted the US has made profits from selling weapons to the EU over the Ukraine crisis.美国政府已呼吁欧盟对中国和印度征收最高100%的关税，此举旨在施压北京和新德里减少购买俄罗斯石油，并停止对俄“援助”。这一行为再次表明，在乌克兰危机和关税问题上，美国正以剥削性方式利用欧盟。美国政府近期也承认，在乌克兰危机期间，美国通过向欧盟出售武器获取了利润。By meting out punitive measures against Chinese companies on such spurious grounds, the European Commission is doing nothing but seeking to show the US that it is answering its call without imposing a blanket tariff hike.欧盟委员会以如此牵强的理由对中国企业实施惩罚性措施，无非是想向美国表明，其正响应美方号召，同时又避免全面提高关税。The commission's unjustified move against China is shortsighted as the US is instrumentalizing Europe's vulnerabilities for its own geopolitical gains. Von der Leyen's alignment with Washington — accepting a US baseline 15 percent tariff on most EU goods while promising large EU purchases of US energy and defense — is intended to cement transatlantic unity.欧盟委员会对中国采取的这一不当举措目光短浅，因为美国正利用欧洲的脆弱性谋取自身地缘政治利益。冯德莱恩选择与美国保持一致——接受美国对大多数欧盟商品征收15%的基准关税，同时承诺欧盟大量采购美国能源和防务产品——此举意在巩固跨大西洋联盟。But in practice it leaves the EU exposed to loss of leverage in trade talks, domestic criticism over economic imbalance, and a weakened ability to defend its interests independently amid the Ukraine crisis and US pressure.但实际上，这一做法使欧盟在贸易谈判中丧失筹码，因经济失衡面临国内批评，且在乌克兰危机和美国压力下，其独立维护自身利益的能力也被削弱。Sanctioning the Chinese entities undoubtedly harms Sino-EU relations and represents another ill-advised move of the EU.制裁中国实体无疑会损害中欧关系，这是欧盟又一不明智之举。For its own good, the EU should uphold its strategic autonomy rather than making decisions to try and claim the moral high ground and accommodate the US administration's agenda.为自身利益着想，欧盟应维护战略自主，而非为抢占道德高地、迎合美国政府议程而做出决策。The development of China-EU relations over the past 50 years has proved that China and the EU are partners, not rivals, still less enemies. There is no territorial dispute, no geopolitical conflict, nor any fundamental conflict of interests between the two sides. China has always viewed its relations with the EU from a strategic and long-term perspective. It is hoped that the EU will work with China in the same direction to ensure that cooperation remains the underlying feature of China-EU relations.过去50年的中欧关系发展证明，中欧是伙伴，而非对手，更非敌人。双方不存在领土争端、地缘政治冲突，也没有根本利益分歧。中国始终从战略和长远角度看待中欧关系，希望欧盟能与中国相向而行，确保合作始终是中欧关系的底色。To end the Ukraine crisis, it is necessary for the US and the EU to refrain from seeking selfish gains and not add fuel to the fire by further exacerbating tensions. The sanctions imposed by the EU, as well as those by the US, over the Ukraine crisis have not only fueled tensions, but also seriously disturbed global supply chains.要结束乌克兰危机，美欧需摒弃自私自利的图谋，避免进一步加剧紧张局势、火上浇油。欧盟与美国借乌克兰危机实施的制裁，不仅推高了紧张局势，还严重扰乱了全球供应链。History clearly shows that such sanctions, devoid of legitimacy in international law, have never been solutions to burning issues, not to mention the goal of founding a lasting, workable and balanced security mechanism for Europe.历史清楚表明，此类制裁缺乏国际法依据，从未成为解决紧迫问题的有效手段，更遑论实现为欧洲建立持久、可行且平衡的安全机制这一目标。strategic autonomy (of the EU)n.（欧盟的）战略自主 /strəˈtiːdʒɪk ɔːˈtɒnəmi (əv ðə ˌiː ˈjuː)/19th package of EU sanctions (against Russia)n.欧盟第19轮（对俄）制裁方案/ˌnaɪnˈtiːnθ ˈpækɪdʒ əv ˌiː ˈjuː ˈsæŋkʃnz (əˈɡenst ˈrʌʃə)/

Chuck Price, President, AI Kinetics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Bot Auto's successful 40-mile, fully autonomous run with no human in the cab or operating the vehicle remotely.In what Chuck Price calls a “watershed event,” Bot Auto successfully completed a driver-out run in under two years with less than $45 million in funding, compared to other competitors which are currently spending $600 million+ a year.Bot Auto's accomplishment could have broad implications for the autonomous trucking industry in terms of technological roadmaps and commercialization strategies. How they achieved this milestone with such limited resources will become a central question throughout the autonomy markets.Episode Chapters0:00 The Road to Autonomy Introduction0:23 Bot Auto Goes Driver-Out3:22 The Role of OEMs in an Autonomous Trucking World7:20 After Driver-Out, What's Next for Bot Auto?12:54 Building an Autonomous Trucking Business16:11 Rethinking the OEM Deal: When is the Right Time to Partner?19:43 Contract Manufacturing25:39 Ripple Effects of Bot Auto Going Driver-Out31:38 AI Unlock33:17 Proof Points37:50 Tesla Semi43:18 Current State of the Autonomous Trucking Industry45:51 Key TakeawayRecorded on Thursday, September 18, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Welcome back to the EUCVC Summit Talks, where we bring you candid conversations with Europe's leading founders, corporate leaders, and investors shaping the future of venture collaboration.In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Kasper Hulthin, serial founder now at Future Five (and co-founder of Peakon, Podio, and others), and Heini Zachariassen, founder of Vivino, the world's largest wine app and marketplace. Both have experienced firsthand what it means to be acquired by a corporate—and they don't hold back on the reality behind the headlines.From culture shock and governance friction to the trade-offs of autonomy versus scale, Kasper and Heini share the inside story of what happens post-acquisition. They also reflect on when collaboration works, how to preserve founder spirit, and what corporates must do to retain the trust and agility of entrepreneurial teams.This is essential listening for any corporate venturer, founder, or investor navigating M&A.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Lyft's dramatic return to the big leagues of the autonomous vehicle industry through a surprise partnership with Waymo in Nashville, including fleet management, sending Lyft stock soaring 20% while Uber dropped 5%.Grayson and Walt examine the strategic implications of this non-exclusive deal, where a shared fleet will operate across both Lyft and Waymo networks, with Lyft leveraging its Flexdrive subsidiary for fleet management. This deal, marks Waymo's second partnership with Lyft, correcting widespread media reports that overlooked a small 2019 Phoenix pilot program that quietly disappeared from public view.The conversation expands into Waymo's incremental progress at San Francisco Airport (SFO) which is limited to the “kiss and fly” area rather than curbside access, and what this signals for Waymo's pending highway operations. Grayson predicts Waymo will begin operating on highways in the Bay Area by December 2025, while they debate sensor stack limitations that may be preventing current Jaguar fleets from highway deployment. Grayson and Walt also analyze Bot Auto‘s milestone achievement of a fully driverless 40-mile commercial run accomplished with just $45 million in funding, contrasting this efficiency against billion-dollar competitors still operating with safety drivers. The episode concludes with Tesla and Uber's freight partnership, which Walt characterizes as a potential “Trojan horse” for Tesla's autonomous trucking ambitions.Episode Chapters0:00 Lyft / Waymo Partnership7:01 Lyft / Waymo History 8:39 Nashville Market 12:17 Impact on the Uber / Waymo Relationship 15:31 Waymo's SFO Expansion 17:13 Waymo's “Great Highway Expansion” 20:39 Waymo's Emerging Zeekr Risk in Tennessee 23:00 Waymo's Airport Unlocks 25:25 Bot Auto Goes Driver-Out29:30 Going Driver-Out without an OEM Deal33:47 Tesla Semi / Uber Freight Partnership 37:24 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, September 18, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

As the world's largest agricultural economy, when China makes a move, the world pays attention. China has just unveiled an ambitious plan to accelerate its development of ag machinery by shortening its research and development cycles. So will China dominate the future of agricultural machinery, and what does this mean for dealers, farmers, and agtech companies?Lachlan Monsbourgh, Global Rural Agricultural and Environmental Lead at Rabobank, joins us to discuss China's pivotal role in global agriculture. This includes China's rapidly developing ag machinery industry, which can manufacture tractors and equipment for about half the cost of the other major players in the US, Europe and Japan. While the products currently face quality, durability and serviceability challenges, Lachlan argues it is only a matter of time before these are overcome. Lachlan and Sarah discuss:The price point difference between Chinese agricultural manufacturers and other big OEMsThe impact of cheaper tractors on agtech adoption and autonomyHow China is moving to ensure sustainable supply chains from countries such as Brazil.Global biodiversity targets and the role of autonomous robotics in helping to achieve them.Useful Links:How China is reshaping Global Food Systems for the Climate Change Era, World Economic ForumTarget to accelerate agriculture machinery development, AgTechNavigatorKunming Montreal Biodiversity frameworkThe Three Categories of Autonomy in Agriculture, SwarmFarm RoboticsFor more information and resources, visit our website.

I invited Atalia Horenshtien to unpack a topic many leaders are wrestling with right now. Everyone is talking about AI agents, yet most teams are still living with rule based bots, brittle scripts, and a fair bit of anxiety about handing decisions to software. Atalia has lived through the full arc, from early machine learning and automated pipelines to today's agent frameworks inside large enterprises. She is an AI and data strategist, a former data scientist and software engineer, and has just joined Hakoda, an IBM company, to help global brands move from experiments to outcomes. The timing matters. She starts on the 18th, and this conversation captures how she thinks about responsible progress at exactly the moment she steps into that new role. Here's the thing. Words like autonomy sound glamorous until an agent faces a messy real world task. Atalia draws a clear line between scripted bots and agents with goals, memory, and the ability to learn from feedback. Her advice is refreshingly grounded. Start internal where you can observe behavior. Put human in the loop review where it counts. Use role based access rather than feeding an LLM everything you own. Build an observability layer so you can see what the model did, why it did it, and what it cost. We also get into measurements that matter. Time saved, cycle time reduction, adoption, before and after comparisons, and a sober look at LLM costs against any reduction in FTE hours. She shares how custom cost tracking for agents prevents surprises, and why version one should ship even if it is imperfect. Culture shows up as a recurring theme. Leaders need to talk openly about reskilling, coach managers through change, and invite teams to be co creators. Her story about Hakoda's internal AI Lab is a good example. What began as an engineer's idea for ETL schema matching grew into agent powered tools that won a CIO 100 award and now help deliver faster, better outcomes for clients. There are lighter moments too. Atalia explains how she taught an ex NFL player the basics of time series forecasting using football tactics. Then she takes us behind the scenes with McLaren Racing, where data and strategy collide on the F1 circuit, and admits she has become a committed fan because of that work. If you want a practical playbook for moving from shiny demos to dependable agents, this episode will help you think clearly about scope, safeguards, and speed. Connect with Atalia on LinkedIn, explore Hakoda's work at hakoda.io, and then tell me how you plan to measure your first agent's value. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA  

https://grandtheftworld.com/ 00:00:00 – Meeting Richard Grove Warm intro with Richard Grove: Pittsburgh roots, shoes and job-site footwear, then straight into Grove's history with John Taylor Gatto and how Gatto's ideas on schooling-as-indoctrination reshaped his worldview. Personal stories about helping Gatto after his stroke and preserving his work. 00:10:00 – Gatto's Legacy & Foundation Power Recap of Gatto resigning as NY Teacher of the Year; the Reese Committee, Norman Dodd, and how Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford foundations nudged policy and education. Language, printing press, and information control as the real levers of power. 00:20:00 – Multi-Generational Networks Banks and industrialists funding both sides of conflicts; the supra-political layer above parties and nations. Grove demos his research “Brain” map and traces threads through RAND, CFR, common core authors, Rhodes scholars, and Anglo-American planning. 00:30:00 – Wilson's Warning & Debunking Debunkers Woodrow Wilson's “shadow power” passage and how quotes get straw-manned online. How “fact-checks” poison the well by refuting claims no one actually made—keeping the real discussion off-limits. 00:40:00 – Money, Markets, and the Trivium Goldbacks and parallel money at liberty festivals; why cartelized finance isn't “capitalism.” Education deliberately omits the Trivium (grammar → logic → rhetoric), creating literate but uncritical citizens. Reframing learning as input/process/output. 00:50:00 – Empire by Other Means UK DCDC future-war documents; the British Empire's evolution into a covert commonwealth model using U.S. power. Cecil Rhodes's plan to pull America back into the imperial fold via a cadre—seed of the Rhodes Scholarships. 01:00:00 – The Will of Rhodes Grove details Rhodes's will, the Rothschild link, and how Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Talbott, etc.) shape U.S. institutions. “From cowboys to gentlemen”: reforming American attitudes to match British elite preferences. 01:10:00 – Occult, Culture, and Soft Power Fabian socialists, spiritualist circles, and mystery-school currents around British politics; cultural capture from lawns to the British Invasion. Occult motifs and “initiated” knowledge as social glue for elites. 01:20:00 – Becoming a Whistleblower Grove's Sarbanes–Oxley compliance work; discovering audit-trail backdoors that let firms erase records; pushback, retaliation, and years of litigation. How lived experience hardened his stance against institutional corruption. 01:30:00 – 9/11 Anomalies Deep Dive Pentagon inconsistencies, missing (orange) black boxes, and security-cam gaps; “Pilots for 9/11 Truth” (Rob Balsamo) analyses; the “dancing Israelis” arrest and quiet deportations. Media scripting vs. physics and flight-path questions; drills/foreknowledge discussions and why these details still matter. 01:40:00 – Epstein, Pizzagate & Media Lines They hash through the Epstein network and culture's selective outrage: UK's Savile cover-ups vs. U.S. media skittishness; social feed reactions; speculation about Trump's possible informant role; Clinton associations. The broader theme: blackmail, intelligence services, and why cases like these get memory-holed. 01:50:00 – Assange, Censorship & Platforms Assange's background and the years in the Ecuadorian embassy; intelligence community pressure and narrative-management. Broader talk on censorship, de-platforming, alt-video (e.g., Odysee), and keeping shows listener-supported. Tease for live podcasting and how/why independent media survives. 02:00:00 – Skills, Autonomy & Sign-Off Grove's path from 2006 podcasting to building communities and courses (AUTONOMY): teaching durable skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial value creation. Invitation to listeners: learn the method, find your people, make a meaningful living. Thanks and goodbyes.
