Twenty-three years ago, Peter Hughes found himself frustrated by the inconsistency in asset management and fund administration reporting across providers. Large clients received great service, smaller and newer asset managers, the ones who needed fast, reliable reporting most urgently, were left behind. So, Hughes built something different. Today, Apex is a multi-billion dollar financial services platform with 3.6 trillion dollars in platform assets, 13,000 employees, and more than 100 offices across 50 countries. The company processes billions in transactions for hundreds of financial institutions, asset managers, brokers, banks, fintechs, and Web3 innovators who rely on Apex to scale securely, compliantly, and globally. What Hughes built was not just another services firm. It was the infrastructure layer that lets companies expand internationally without the regulatory drag and legacy systems that slow things down. Now Apex is applying that same model to the next frontier, crypto, digital assets, tokenized markets, and institutional grade custody, enabling firms to operate in a world where finance is increasingly programmable and borderless.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Peter Hughes, CEO of Apex, to unpack how he built one of the most expansive financial services platforms in the world, how Apex survived the 2008 financial crisis, why tokenization is not about crypto speculation but about democratizing access to quality investments, and what the future of finance looks like when retirement portfolios are liquid, borderless, and on chain.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

Episode 500 is here! To celebrate this milestone, the Shat Crew commemorated the occasion with a limited-edition Episode 500 Mission Patch, created as a special thank-you to listeners who helped us reach 500 movies. Get yours at www.shatpod.com/movies/patch while supplies last. For the 500th episode of Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D lace up their inline skates and head to Cincinnati for Airborne, the 1993 coming-of-age comedy that somehow blends fish-out-of-water humor, street hockey, aggressive inline skating and a roster of future stars.  Starring Shane McDermott alongside a young Seth Green and Jack Black, Airborne is peak '90s comfort food—equal parts sports movie, teen comedy and time capsule. The guys revisit the film's unforgettable Devil's Backbone race and debate whether Mitchell Goosen is the coolest kid ever dropped into the Midwest or just the luckiest. Along the way, they discuss rollerblading's brief moment as the future of extreme sports and why Airborne has become one of the great forgotten cult classics of the decade. Is Airborne an overlooked '90s gem that deserves to roll alongside the best sports comedies of its era, or is it simply nostalgia doing all the heavy lifting? Join us as we celebrate 500 episodes and an incredible community of listeners who've been along for the ride. Plot Summary: After moving from sunny California to Cincinnati, teenager Mitchell Goosen struggles to fit in at his new high school until he befriends a group of Rollerbladers and finds himself caught in a rivalry that can only be settled with an epic downhill race through the city's steepest streets.

Shipping fascinates me. The industry usually quietly carries approximately 80% of all internationally traded good. Tankers reach 400m long and carry loads of $200m+ worth of oil. But the best part of it is the 4D multi-year chess game played across the globe, by an industry that can be as profitable as it is cyclical.Watch it on YouTube or listen on the Substack player or every podcast app.Key topics discussed* The math behind 30% returns on $140M assets.* Managing risk in a highly cyclical, capex-heavy industry.* Why Japan and China are rebuilding global oil storage.* The "one-stop shop" model for financial investors in shipping (the Uber of Shipping).SummaryPankaj Khanna, CEO of Nasdaq-listed Heidmar, discusses how shipping and freight underpin the global economy, focusing on oil tanker markets. He shares his path from an Indian merchant navy cadet to CEO and 45% owner, and explains Heidmar's growth since 2019 from six ships and six people to managing 65 vessels across six global offices with 65 staff. Heidmar is a non-asset-owning, debt-free, “one-stop shop” providing ship acquisition support, financing and corporate setup, technical management (crews, SMS), and commercial management (employment with oil majors and traders enabled by long-standing KYC approvals), earning daily fees and commissions on freight. The discussion covers spot freight economics, investor types, traders' roles, shipping cyclicality driven by geopolitics, distance and fleet supply, and Heidmar's long-term digital platform and AI initiatives to optimize operations, alongside the company's EBITDA-multiple valuation versus NAV.LinksHeidmarhttps://www.heidmar.com/Pankaj Khanna on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/pankaj-khanna-69746b1/About Investology:A podcast dedicated to investment management intelligence and uncovering new ways to deliver better outcomes for investors.

You don't need to be mean to have boundaries—you just need to be willing to honor them. If saying "no" makes you feel guilty, selfish, or worried about disappointing others, this episode will help you rethink what healthy boundaries really look like Jen Fry is a conflict literacy expert, TEDxDuke speaker, tech founder, and former NCAA volleyball coach. Through her firm, JenFryTalks, she helps leaders and organizations build cultures of clarity, accountability, and trust by turning conflict into a leadership advantage. She's the author of I Said No: How to Have a Backbone and Boundaries Without Being a Jerk.  In this episode, they unpack why boundaries are so difficult—especially for women—and how to set them without damaging relationships. You'll learn practical ways to say no, enforce your boundaries, navigate guilt, and build the confidence to advocate for yourself with clarity and compassion.    What you will learn from this episode: Why women often struggle more than men to set and maintain boundaries. The difference between saying "no" and actually enforcing a boundary. How micro-advocacy helps build confidence for bigger boundary conversations.   "People are habitual line steppers. They will keep pushing." – Jen Fry   Topics Covered: 02:00 – What conflict literacy means and why it is a critical leadership skill 03:20 – Jen's personal journey with boundaries and why family relationships are often the hardest 05:00 – Why women face greater pressure to say yes and keep everyone happy 09:05 – Why Jen wrote I Said No and the power of storytelling in learning boundaries 10:40 – The true definition of a boundary and why it must involve your own actions 13:05 – Using micro-advocacy to build confidence in speaking up for yourself 18:20 – Creating new habits for yourself and the people around you 19:15 – The powerful reminder that you can leave situations that no longer serve you 21:10 – How Jen navigates friendships with chronic lateness while honoring her own needs 23:00 – The role of repair, reconciliation, and meaningful apologies in healthy relationships 24:45 – How boundaries show up physically in the body and what your emotions are trying to tell you   Key Takeaways: "Women have the hardest time setting boundaries because they don't want to disappoint people." – Jen Fry "A boundary is something that you set, not what someone else does." – Jen Fry "You have to practice advocating for yourself before you can say the big no." – Jen Fry "It's hard to do, but you're worth it." – Jen Fry   Ways to Connect with Jen Fry: Website: https://www.jenfrytalks.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenfry Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenfry Book: I Said No: How to Have a Backbone and Boundaries Without Being a Jerk Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

Tonight, on this penetrating, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up…With the 250th birthday of the United States rapidly approaching — we take a critical and intensive look at the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and at its foundation and the importance of a free press in a democracy.The most basic liberties guaranteed to Americans — embodied in the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — assure Americans a government that is responsible to its citizens and responsive to their wishes. These 45 words are as alive and important today as they were more than 249 years ago.These liberties are neither liberal nor conservative, Democratic nor Republican — they are the basis for our representative democratic form of government.45 words that grant us the inalienable right that:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Thomas Jefferson in 1787 famously articulated that a “well-informed public holds ultimate power; without truth and oversight, even the best-intentioned government can devolve into tyranny”.Jefferson's preference for “newspapers without government” over “government without newspapers” was essential to the fledgling U.S. democracy and, as the truly wise man that he was, these maxims hold true to this day as the press is being tested like it never has been before.President Trump had his most recent “meltdown” in an on-air interview with NBC's Kristen Welker. The world bore witness to “Exhibit A” … of Donald Trump's face becoming as red as a beet … as he shouted at and insulted another female, minority reporter — this time it was Kristen Welker, an NBC journalist who is biracial.Welker's mother is black and her father is white.It is crystal clear Trump is triggered by reporters that aren't ass-smooching sycophants as the members of his entire presidential cabinet are.Intelligent women in general and minority women especially trigger Trump the most.We'll shine the antiseptic light of the truth on the importance of having an independent free press and how it has proven to be an essential ingredient in the making of and maintaining a democracy.Also, we'll investigate the damage the free press has suffered at the hands of Donald Trump and his constantly dishonest style of “scorched-earth politics” — where he rails against all media, unless of course, it's his coveted Fox News.And we've researched and plan to share with you if there are any fair and accurate comparisons to Mussolini's Fascist Italy and Hitler's Nazi Germany and their treatment of the press in the lead-up to their power-grabs as they sought to change the balance of power for the free world.Every time Donald Trump attacks a reporter — the free press dies a little bit each time.The second Trump administration's core campaign pledge to protect open discourse has sharply clashed with its executive actions, resulting in a systemic contraction of First Amendment protections.Critics and civil liberties watchdogs argue that while the administration aggressively targets what it deems "left-wing bias" and "federal collusion" with tech platforms, it simultaneously deploys state infrastructure to:—     penalize critical media,—     restrict assembly,and …—     mandate strict government-approved speech orthodoxy.The fact of the matter is:Donald Trump rails against EVERYONE who doesn't blow smoke up his ass — as a lot of people do.He's always done this. He will continue to do so.  He's a thin-skinned, weak-charactered, congenital narcissist — THIS is what they do.   They can't take any criticism … a narcissist to this degree can't even entertain anything that isn't praise.We'll examine all this … pero mucho más aquí y solamente aquí — on this edition of Light ‘Em Up!The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!Support the show!We want to hear from you!We want to hear from you!Support the show

What if the biggest barrier to the energy transition isn't generation or demand — but the invisible infrastructure layer connecting them? Lisa Magnuson has spent two decades at the intersection of utilities and technology, focused on one core challenge: how to turn complex infrastructure into real-world adoption. From her early years as the first marketing hire at Silver Spring Networks — helping large utilities adopt smart grid networking through a successful IPO — to a front-row seat at PG&E, she has watched the industry evolve from within. Now at Landis+Gyr, she is focused on the next phase of the transition: enabling a more intelligent, responsive grid through real-time data, connectivity, and grid-edge innovation. While most conversations about the energy transition focus on generation and demand, Lisa argues the real story is the invisible layer underneath: metering, data, and real-time connectivity. As electricity demand grows twice as fast as total energy demand — driven by EVs, data centers, and electrification everywhere — that backbone becomes non-negotiable. "When you put intelligence into the grid, it now can respond," she says. Extreme weather has raised public awareness of utility challenges in a way that little else has, creating what Lisa sees as the right conditions for real, scalable solutions to finally take hold.Lisa Magnuson is a marketing and communications leader with deep expertise in energy infrastructure and utility technology. She began her career at Apple and NeXT before joining Silver Spring Networks as the company's first marketing hire, rising over 14-15 years to VP of Marketing and staying through a successful IPO. She then moved to PG&E — one of Silver Spring's largest customers — where she experienced firsthand the operational and communications challenges utilities face. She subsequently held roles at Bozilla and Bloom Energy before partnering with Landis+Gyr on a rebranding initiative, where she now focuses on the company's transformation as a global leader in grid-edge intelligence. In This Episode:  (00:00) Lisa Magnuson and the energy transition backdrop (04:07) From Apple and NeXT to Silver Spring Networks (07:54) Lessons from PG&E: ratepayers, customers, and communications challenges (09:29) Grid intelligence and Landis+Gyr's essential role in electrification (12:17) Lisa's Age of Adoption story: building the energy internet (13:47) Communicating grid complexity and what excites and worries Lisa Share with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!

Why Data Centers Are Becoming America's New Industrial Backbone w/ Tom Sullivan of Air2O - AZ TRT S07 EP09 (291) 6-14-2026         What We Learned This Week 1. AI Is Creating One of the Largest Infrastructure Booms in History The AI revolution isn't just software. It requires: physical buildings massive electrical systems cooling infrastructure energy innovation The data center buildout may become one of the biggest infrastructure projects ever undertaken. 2. Cooling Technology Is Becoming Just as Important as Computing Power The future winners in AI may not only be software companies. Engineering and thermal management firms could become critical infrastructure players. Cooling is no longer an afterthought: it's now central to AI scalability. 3. Arizona Is Quietly Becoming a Strategic Technology Hub Arizona's: land climate business environment power infrastructure are making it increasingly attractive for: semiconductors data centers advanced manufacturing Phoenix continues evolving into a major technology corridor. 4. Many Public Narratives Around Data Centers Are Outdated The perception that modern data centers waste massive amounts of water may no longer reflect reality. Modern facilities: increasingly use closed-loop systems focus on efficiency consume more electricity than water The real long-term challenge may actually be: grid power generation. 5. Nuclear Energy May Return Through AI Demand AI could accelerate adoption of: SMRs localized nuclear power next-generation energy systems Technology growth may revive public discussions around nuclear power in ways not seen in decades.       Guest: Tom Sullivan, CEO & Co-Founder of Air2o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-sullivan-491706b4/ Bio: Tom is a seasoned leader with a diverse background, rooted in military service and later refined in the civilian sector.

Segment 1 — What Data Centers Really Are Core Concepts Data centers have existed for more than 30 years, but the explosion of: the Internet cloud computing smartphones AI has dramatically increased demand. Society now depends on massive amounts of digital infrastructure to support: computers cell phones cloud applications AI processing streaming business systems Tom Sullivan predicts that within a few years: 40–50% of the population may live within 5 miles of a data center. What a Data Center Looks Like Usually located in industrial areas Large buildings with few or no windows Inside are: server racks data halls GPUs backup batteries power systems cooling infrastructure The Biggest Challenge: Heat Servers consume enormous electricity and generate significant heat. Cooling systems can account for: roughly 30% of a data center's electricity usage. Evolution of Cooling Traditional Cooling Similar to a computer fan system Cool air pushed in, hot air pulled out Older facilities maintained temperatures around 72°F Modern Efficiency Newer facilities can safely operate in the 90°F range. Immersion Cooling Servers submerged in special cooling fluid (not water) Highly efficient but: expensive difficult to maintain operationally complex Direct-to-Chip Cooling Emerging next-generation solution Liquid cooling piped directly to processor chips More efficient and scalable for AI workloads Segment 2 — The AI Infrastructure Boom Why Cooling Matters More Now AI workloads require: far more computing power denser server environments advanced thermal management Cooling Technology Timeline Immersion cooling gained momentum around 2020 Direct-to-chip cooling accelerated around 2023 Historic Infrastructure Buildout Tom discussed the scale of current infrastructure spending: Estimated global data center infrastructure investment: $7 trillion Comparisons: 12x the U.S. roadway network cost 23x the Apollo moon mission cost Who Is Investing? Major technology companies are driving this expansion: Microsoft Amazon NVIDIA Investment areas include: data centers utilities energy construction AI infrastructure Air20 Company Background Origins Started in 2012 as a part-time engineering company Specialized in: thermal management data centers semiconductor facilities pharmaceuticals healthcare engineering Founder Background Tom Sullivan: former military electrical engineer 10 years military experience entrepreneur with deep engineering expertise Company Growth In 2017: connected with venture capital in Scottsdale moved operations to Arizona expanded manufacturing and engineering Current Capabilities Air20 now handles: engineering software programming manufacturing construction coordination Cooling systems can range from: $50,000 units to $1 million+ systems Private Equity Company was eventually acquired by private equity Significant scaling followed VC and PE investment Segment 3 — Why Arizona Became a Data Center Hub Arizona Advantages Tom explained why Arizona attracts major data center investment: Business Climate business-friendly environment attractive economics supportive infrastructure Geography flat land affordable real estate low natural disaster risk Climate predictable weather conditions strong operational reliability Debunking the "Water Usage" Myth A major discussion centered around misconceptions about data centers and water consumption. Historical Cooling Older evaporative cooling systems: used more water used less electricity Modern Systems Current systems: use more power use significantly less water Closed Loop Cooling Modern cooling systems circulate water through: sealed piping systems closed-loop infrastructure This minimizes water loss. Bigger Water Users Tom pointed out: electric generation plants steam turbines nuclear facilities often use far more water than data centers themselves. Massive Power Consumption Data centers now operate at unprecedented scale. Power progression: homes → kilowatts industrial → megawatts hyperscale data centers → gigawatt-level demand One comparison: A large data center can equal the energy usage of 833,000 homes. Future Energy Solutions Potential future solution: Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) compact nuclear reactors already proven in: submarines aircraft carriers Potential advantages: localized power generation reduced grid strain scalable infrastructure support Segment 4 — Nuclear Energy & The Future Nuclear Energy Perception Tom discussed how technology industries often face negative PR cycles. Modern Nuclear Technology According to Tom: nuclear technology has evolved significantly safety standards are dramatically improved waste is greatly reduced efficiency is far higher Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) SMRs are now: being tested deployed experimentally explored for powering data centers directly Benefits: smaller footprint scalable deployment less pressure on public grids reliable energy generation Key Point "The water usage myth is dead." Larger Theme Modern society increasingly depends on: digital infrastructure electricity AI computing cloud services The challenge is no longer whether we need data centers. The challenge is: how to power and cool them efficiently.     Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   'Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-sixty-fourth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Amy Beatty, the G-4 Senior Sustainment Planner from Plans / Exercise Maneuver Control Task Force on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Battalion Commander for the 82nd Light Support Battalion, LTC Peter van Howe.   The 82nd Light Support Battalion (LSB), formerly the 82nd Brigade Support Battalion (BSB), serves as the sustainment backbone of the 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, providing logistics, maintenance, medical, transportation, and distribution support to enable the brigade's rapid deployment and expeditionary operations worldwide. Known by its Hollywood call-sign, “Gator,” the battalion has a long history of supporting airborne and contingency operations, ensuring paratroopers can seize, hold, and fight from key terrain under austere conditions. As the Army transitions from the BSB to the LSB construct, the battalion continues to evolve its sustainment capabilities to support dispersed operations, contested logistics, and prolonged combat against peer threats. The battalion's motto, “Service to the Line,” reflects its enduring commitment to projecting, generating, and preserving combat power for the brigade, ensuring maneuver forces remain lethal, mobile, and ready to fight whenever and wherever the Nation calls.   This episode explores the employment of the Light Support Battalion (LSB) and how sustainment formations are adapting to survive and sustain maneuver forces on the modern battlefield. The discussion focuses on base cluster design, command and control, survivability, distribution operations, and the constant balance between protection and sustainment throughput. Leaders examine different approaches to organizing the Brigade Support Area, emphasizing that there is no single solution and that sustainment leaders must remain flexible based on the enemy situation, terrain, mission requirements, and available resources. Topics include dispersed versus consolidated support areas, use of forward logistics elements, deception operations, engineer support, survivability positions, signature management, and the employment of decoy command posts. A recurring theme throughout the episode is that sustainment formations must think and fight like maneuver formations, continuously adapting their posture to maintain survivability while preserving the ability to project, generate, and preserve combat power for the brigade.    The conversation also focuses on the critical relationship between maneuver units and the sustainment enterprise. Leaders discuss the importance of accurate LOGSTAT reporting, synchronization across echelons, understanding the roles of the S4, Support Operations Officer (SPO), G4, and G8, and ensuring sustainment is integrated into planning from the outset. Additional topics include running estimates, logistics common operating pictures, rehearsals, battle rhythm events, sustainment forecasting, and the role of NCOs in MDMP. The episode highlights how sustainment success depends on shared understanding, continuous communication, and deliberate synchronization in time and space. Ultimately, the discussion reinforces that the LSB is far more than a logistics provider—it is a combat multiplier that enables brigade operations by ensuring forces can continue to fight, move, communicate, recover, and sustain themselves throughout prolonged operations against a capable peer threat.      Part of S05 “Beans, Bullets, Band-Aids, Batteries, Water, & Fuel” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Celadyne founder and CEO Gary Ong about how a new membrane material can unlock the full potential of electrochemistry for hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, and critical material separations. Gary shares his journey from PhD researcher to startup founder after big corporates passed on his invention, then explains how Celadyne's membrane dramatically reduces hydrogen crossover, boosting fuel-cell durability and cutting critical materials in electrolyzers. They dive into the grid-capacity crunch facing hyperscalers, why hydrogen plus electrolyzers and fuel cells makes sense at 50–100+ MW scale, and how salt-cavern storage enables multi-day and even week-long clean power from solar. Gary also unpacks the geopolitical race over hydrogen technology between the U.S. and China, the strategic role of hydrogen for defense and fuel logistics, and closes by arguing that the real constraint to building next-generation energy and AI infrastructure in the U.S. is workforce development and the shortage of skilled trades.

She is also the Founder and CEO of Backbone, an email strategy automation tool. As a former CMO of a multimillion-dollar DTC e-commerce company, Jess bootstrapped Longplay to seven figures in revenue within the first 18 months. She is a sought-after speaker, podcast guest, product developer, and consultant on topics like retention, lifecycle marketing, and progressive agency business modeling. Rachyl Neidecker is the CEO and Partner at Longplay Brands. She specializes in turning complex or broken business operations into scalable systems. Previously, Rachyl served as the COO and interim CEO of an eight-figure e-commerce brand, the Director of Operations at COO Alliance, and has consulted for companies with $10M–$100M+ in revenue. In this episode… E-commerce brands often chase stronger channels, faster tactics, or higher revenue goals without identifying whether the company's foundation can support the growth. When trust, profitability, and operations are misaligned, even strong marketing can amplify the wrong problems. So how can founders diagnose what's holding their business back? With expertise in lifecycle marketing and operational leadership, Jess Chan and Rachyl Neidecker point to a more disciplined way to scale. They recommend looking beyond surface metrics to identify root causes, such as brand inconsistency, product-market fit issues, over-discounting, weak customer education, bloated org structures, and hidden logistics costs. Instead of moving fast on foundational decisions, brands should slow down, inspect the full customer journey, build trust at every touchpoint, and optimize for profit and enterprise value — not just revenue. Sustainable growth comes from diagnosing the system before prescribing the tactic. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris sits down with Jess Chan and Rachyl Neidecker of Longplay Brands to discuss diagnosing e-commerce growth problems. They cover DTC brands' costly misdiagnoses, lifecycle metrics that reveal root causes, and the difference between scaling revenue, profit, and enterprise value.

Lesley Groff was Jeffrey Epstein's longest-serving and most senior assistant, working for him from 2001 until his 2019 arrest, and the newly examined records place her closer to his daily life than almost anyone else in the Epstein files. Her name reportedly appears more than any other name in the released material, because she handled the machinery of Epstein's world: calendars, travel, calls, appointments, visitors, gifts, household details, meals, flights, logistics, and the constant scheduling of massages. Groff has always maintained through her lawyers that she did not know Epstein was committing crimes, and she has never been criminally charged. But the record creates the obvious and uncomfortable question: how could someone so embedded in Epstein's routines, movements, communications, and appointments remain unaware of what was happening around him for nearly two decades? The documents show her as an intensely loyal functionary inside Epstein's operation, someone who could move from arranging absurd household preferences to coordinating meetings with powerful men, while also helping facilitate the flow of young women, guests, and associates through his homes and social orbit.The larger significance is that Groff's role sits in the gray zone between legal culpability, claimed ignorance, and moral responsibility. She was not Ghislaine Maxwell, and the public record does not show that prosecutors ever charged her as an accomplice, but she was also not a distant employee who occasionally answered a phone. She was the person Epstein relied on to make the system work, and that system included the very rhythms that survivors later described as central to his abuse: massages, travel, private meetings, assistants, young women, and a network of people whose access had to be managed. Congressional investigators have since sought to interview her because they believe she may have information that could help explain what the government missed or failed to act on. Groff's defense is that she did not know; the enduring problem is that the Epstein files make clear she was close enough to the center of the operation that the question of what she saw, what she understood, and what she chose not to ask remains impossible to avoid.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Seriously the best boss ever': inside the world of Jeffrey Epstein's assistant | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Cranberries have been a staple of Indigenous culture in North America for hundreds of years – and not just as food. Soon, European settlers also found the benefits of the berry, which would eventually become the state fruit of Massachusetts. These days, cranberries hold a special place on our Thanksgiving tables, but also in everyday baked goods, granolas and, of course, as a delicious, tart juice. In honor of our ongoing celebration of America's 250th anniversary, we're boiling down the long history of cranberries in the United States.

#286: Why Clean Data is the Backbone of Every Product Business

Today we're digging into a topic you might not have considered before: the importance of clean financial data. We talk about numbers constantly—how to focus on them, why they matter, and what you should be looking at. But we haven't truly discussed why having clean information is the absolute backbone of successful decision-making in a product-based business. The Danger of Dirty Data I recently spoke with two clients who were using a financial analysis tool to guide their buying. The tool kept telling them to buy more, buy more. They followed the data, thinking they were being efficient, only to end up buried in inventory that didn't move. That wasn't a supply chain problem or a marketing problem—it was a data problem. Dirty data is dangerous because it doesn't come with a warning label; it looks like fact, but it's actually fiction dressed as finance. What Does Dirty Data Look Like? If you want to avoid making wrong decisions confidently, watch out for these five common red flags: Miscategorized Transactions: Expenses floating in no man's land or assigned to the wrong revenue streams. COGS vs. OPEX Confusion: When your inventory purchases are blurred with operating expenses, you can't see your true margin. Timing Errors: Recognizing revenue when cash hits rather than when it's earned (Cash vs. Accrual). Inventory Valuation Gaps: Your books say you have 800 units, but your warehouse only has 500. Un-netted Discounts: Refunds and chargebacks that aren't properly subtracted from your top-line revenue. The Three Cs of Clean Data To run a genius inventory system, your data must be: Consistent: Applying the same rules and categories every single month. Connected: Your POS, bank account, and accounting software should all tell the same story. Current: Books should be reconciled and in your hands by the 15th–20th of every month—not just at tax time! 8 Key Data Points You Need to Track I want you to look at your dashboard and ask: “Do I actually have this number, and can I trust it?” Gross Margin by SKU: Not just overall, but by category and brand. Inventory Valuation: Real-time wholesale and retail value. 12–13 Week Cash Flow: A forward-looking projection of your bank balance. Net Revenue: Gross sales minus returns, fees, and discounts. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): What it actually costs to get a buyer through the door. Inventory Turn: How fast your product is moving by department. All-in Cost Per Unit: The landed cost including shipping and handling. Contribution Margin: Revenue minus all variable costs to see what truly goes toward profit. Your 3-Step Data Audit Don't just listen—take action today with these three simple steps: Step 1: Pull your P&L and go line-by-line. Ensure every expense is correctly categorized. Step 2: Confirm your bookkeeper is reconciling accounts monthly and delivering reports on time. Step 3: Check your POS. Ensure every SKU has an accurate cost associated with it. Final Thought: Stop treating your books like a tax document and start treating them like a GPS. Clean data leads to better decisions, which leads to stronger margins, which leads to cash.
