Everyone wanted to talk about the laptop.Jonathan Tamayo wanted to talk about mahjong.Because before the 2024 WSOP Main Event title, the $10,000,000 score, and the most debated rail in poker, Tamayo was a kid in Houston playing games with his grandparents, getting bankroll money from his grandpa, trying to figure out PartyPoker, and learning the hard way like everyone else.He had the early online poker growing pains, the college poker games, the PartyPoker bad beat jackpot, the Sunday Million score, the first WSOP summer, the 2009 Main Event heartbreak, Black Friday, daily fantasy, backing, a cash game stable, and years of being very good without quite becoming that guy.Then 2024 happened.And somehow the guy who had already been deep in the Main Event before found himself back in the exact spot every poker player dreams about.Only this time, he won the whole thing.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Jonathan Tamayo joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to tell the full story.Topics include: ♠️ Growing up in Houston with NASA parents and mahjong games ♥️ Grandpa casually funding the early gambling years ♦️ PartyPoker, online mistakes, and the bad beat jackpot ♣️ His first WSOP summer and $1,500 runner-up finish ♠️ The wildest $1/$3 game at the Rio ♥️ The 2009 Main Event run and Billy Kopp hand ♦️ Black Friday and falling behind the European solver wave ♣️ Daily fantasy swings, including a $900K football sweat ♠️ The 2015 Main Event and Joe McKeehen rail ♥️ Building a cash game stable ♦️ The 2024 Main Event run ♣️ LaptopGate, final table prep, and what actually happened ♠️ The heads-up live tell that helped swing the match ♥️ Winning the Main Event and what changes after $10M We also get into why the Main Event still matters, the truth about final table preparation, what people misunderstood about the rail, how poker strategy has changed, why the player pool is aging, and what poker's future problem might really be.This one is part origin story, part Main Event breakdown, and part answer to the controversy everyone had an opinion on.What's your honest take on final table rails using laptops?Timestamps 00:00 — Intro + 2024 Main Event Champ 01:43 — Houston Roots, Mahjong & NASA Parents 05:22 — Humble High School + Lazy-Good Student Life 07:56 — Cornell, Hotel School & Golf 11:02 — First Poker Games in High School 15:18 — Grandpa Bankrolls the Gambling 18:02 — PartyPoker, Western Union & Online Growing Pains 19:15 — The PartyPoker Bad Beat Jackpot 21:39 — Sunday Million Score + Bad 2008 Job Market 23:19 — First WSOP Summer + $1,500 Runner-Up Finish 25:00 — The Wildest $1/$3 Game at the Rio 34:08 — Turning Stone, Brian Hastings & Cornell Private Games 36:21 — 2009 Main Event Run Begins 38:16 — Day 3 Heater + Jenga Chip Explosion 42:44 — Billy Kopp Hand + 21st Place Finish 45:20 — Backing, Supernova Elite & Old-School 10Ks 50:30 — Black Friday + Falling Behind the Europeans 52:23 — Daily Fantasy Grind + DraftKings Hockey Championship 58:23 — The $900K Fantasy Football Sweat 59:13 — 2015 Main Event Run + Joe McKeehen's Year 1:02:23 — McKeehen Final Table Rail + Early “Laptop” System 1:04:54 — Cash Game Stable + Long-Term Backing Setup 1:06:58 — 2024 Main Event Begins 1:09:47 — Day 2 Heater + First All-In Risk 1:10:21 — “The Hand” That Changed Everything 1:12:09 — Day 5–8 Main Event Grind 1:13:29 — Final 18 + Dom Starts Coaching From the Rail 1:16:35 — From 15 of 18 to the Final Table 1:18:06 — 10 Left + The Queens Fold 1:23:25 — LaptopGate + Final Table Prep 1:29:02 — Heads-Up Live Tell Breakthrough 1:33:00 — Winning the Main Event 1:35:37 — What's Next + Staying in His Lane 1:37:53 — What He Did With the Money 1:38:30 — Poker's Future Problem Jonathan's Links X: https://x.com/driverseati Instagram: https://instagram.com/driverseati Table 1 Links Play with us in Vegas: https://table1.vegas

Let's talk about Europe backing the Ukrainian Patriot replacement and Trump losing again....

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it. A pre-seed pitch, he says, is almost entirely storytelling with very little data behind it.If you want to understand how the earliest checks actually get written, and what it really costs to say no, this episode is worth your time.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - From Dehradun to Google to starting Afore02:08 - The Waterloo co-op that talked him out of every job03:18 - Back when "pre-seed" was an insult05:44 - When Sequoia said "I guess we're pre-seed investors too"07:26 - Afore's three products, and the experiments that failed09:01 - Hightouch was a travel company when they invested11:02 - Goldcast: no visa, no money, funded anyway12:07 - The through line is always the team14:44 - The Ramp miss17:24 - "Founders pick us more than we pick them"18:45 - The constraint isn't capital, it's talent22:24 - The Solana miss, when it was still Loom Protocol24:46 - Ramp's Super Bowl ad, the buses, his wife's business25:32 - What he looks for in founders28:50 - Coachability, happy ears, and the Mom Test31:28 - The biggest mistake: falling in love with the idea35:04 - The three things that matter, and "50% of zero is still zero"39:25 - "100% storytelling, 0% data"41:25 - Investing in India, and the fear of being dumb capital44:41 - "Sign the deal before Monday"47:26 - One engineer now does the job of 2051:43 - Raising from LPs, the undiscussed part of VC-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Is Donald Trump trapped in a war with Iran he cannot end? The ceasefire has collapsed, and the warships are back.Chicago University's Professor Robert Pape has been modelling conflict for over 20 years and says both sides look to be caught in an escalation trap: a long war neither can walk away from. Pape tells Global Roaming's Latika Burke and Steve Canane why every off-ramp has closed, why he believes Iran is rising into a new centre of world power, and why the next few weeks could be the most dangerous of the entire war. Guest: Professor Robert Pape, Chicago University Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

In this segment, Charlie James covers a push by Senator Mike Lee to rename and pass the SAVE America Act in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Highlighting Graham's deep involvement with the legislation, Lee argues that enacting it would be an ideal tribute. James plays an audio clip of Donald Trump recalling a phone conversation with Graham just prior to his passing, where Graham expressed strong enthusiasm for the act after returning from Ukraine. Finally, James reflects on the type of political fighting spirit conservative voters desire, drawing comparisons between current Republican figures and his views on Graham's legislative record.

Power & Politics speaks with former U.S. permanent representative to NATO Ivo Daalder.

Your need for approval might be the very thing standing between you and the income you know you're capable of. In this solo episode, Ray Higdon gets straight to it: most struggling entrepreneurs don't have a sales problem, they have an approval problem. They need acceptance from strangers, friends, family members, anyone, and that need is quietly killing their results. Ray shares how every major career pivot he made was met with doubt, and how he learned to use that doubt as fuel instead of a reason to stop. Ray also flips the script on imposter syndrome. It's not about posting content before you have success. It's about saying you want to change the world but refusing to get uncomfortable. He closes with three practical mindset shifts for sales: your prospects don't need you to be nice, they need you to be clear and certain. Backing off when you feel resistance isn't kindness, it's fear. And the people you didn't close? You didn't help them. If you know someone who's hanging on by a thread trying to make this work, this one's for them.

Bloomberg reported that Google and RWE backed German nuclear startup Proxima Fusion at a €2.4 billion valuation. The participation links a hyperscale energy buyer and a major utility to a fusion developer operating in Europe's core power market. Google is pursuing around the clock carbon free power for data centers by 2030, and RWE is expanding firm low carbon capacity as demand rises. Strategic involvement can bring capital, operational expertise, and potential offtake structures that support demonstration and early commercial units. European policy and market design will influence permitting, grid access, and revenue certainty for first plants. Founders and operators should watch for details on demonstration timelines, siting, offtake rights, and financing structures tied to the investment.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

During the third hour of her July 2, 2026 broadcast, Tara delivers a sharp critique of the political left, focusing heavily on immigration enforcement, shifting party ideologies, and progressive policies. She begins by highlighting a massive surge in federal enforcement that saw over 10,000 detentions in five days, praising recent Supreme Court actions that paved the way for the expedited deportation of criminal aliens while aggressively condemning Democratic sanctuary city policies. Moving into party politics, Tara utilizes polling data to illustrate a steep drop in American pride among Democrats alongside a growing embrace of socialism, slamming mainstream party leaders for drifting toward communism. She expresses profound shock that Vice President Kamala Harris is actively seeking political backing from far-left figures like New York socialist Zohran Mamdani, framing it as a complete capitulation of Democratic leadership. Finally, Tara denounces Antifa for using intimidation tactics against judges and criticizes progressive legislators for pushing weak-on-crime laws that fail to hold radical agitators and offenders accountable.

What is Climate Cabinet? Most climate advocates focus their energy on Washington– but often, real change happens closer to home. Climate Cabinet, founded by Caroline Spears, is dedicated to backing and electing climate champions at the state and local level, where the work of cutting emissions, lowering energy costs, and building clean transportation largely gets done. Focusing Locally  While presidential races and Senate battles dominate national attention, decisions about electricity grids, transit systems, housing density, and building codes are being made day-to-day by city councils, county boards, state legislatures, and utility commissions.  Climate Cabinet describes their approach as “Moneyball for Climate”-- borrowing the analytics term made famous in baseball, where data is used to find undervalued players with outsized potential. Applied to politics, it means identifying overlooked races where a relatively small investment can shift climate policy. Candidate selection is non-partisan in practice. Rather than relying on party affiliation, Climate Cabinet examines candidate's voting records, looking at how candidates have acted when major issues came before their city council, county board, or state legislature. They then back promising candidates early, providing financial support and policy expertise to help them build a winning campaign. One of the most surprising– and consequential– offices Climate Cabinet focuses on is the utility commission. In select states, these commissioners are elected directly by voters, giving the public a rare and often overlooked say in how electricity is generated and priced.  How it Makes a Difference  State and local elections are often decided by thin margins and operate on small budgets compared to federal races. So unlike at the federal level, volunteer hours, early endorsements, and targeted outreach can be incredibly effective at building support for specific candidates. Climate Cabinet's win rate reflects this– according to Spears, the organization has won 62% of its top priority races, spanning municipal, county, and state offices.  And because state and local officials are often closer to the problems their constituents face, the case for climate action is often easier to make. A state legislator can point to lower electricity bills from renewable energy, a city council member can garner support for more efficient bus service, a utility commissioner can push for faster grid buildout. Climate action, then, becomes a direct way to lower electricity bills, improve air quality, and expand transit access.  Challenges With hundreds of thousands of elected positions across the country, even a well-resourced organization can only engage in a fraction of the races that matter. Spears also notes the difficulty of cutting through the noise in a fractured media environment. Many of Climate Cabinet's candidates are running for offices most voters don't think about, such as state budget committees and utility boards– making voter outreach and name recognition an uphill battle even in favorable districts. The political environment itself remains a structural barrier. Running for office at any level has become more difficult, with political violence on the rise and entrenched interests– fossil fuel companies and real estate developers, to name a few– actively working to block climate-friendly candidates.  Spears' View For Spears, the goal is to build a political environment in which supporting clean energy, affordable housing near transit, and zero-carbon transportation is the natural, low-resistance choice for any elected official.  She's also clear-eyed about what motivates the best candidates she works with: a real commitment to their communities, not necessarily ambition for higher office. Spears is particularly focused on transportation– the largest single source of climate pollution in the U.S.-- and on finding candidates who understand that the path to zero-carbon transit looks different in each state, requiring local leadership to deliver. About Our Guest Caroline Spears is the founder and Executive Director of Climate Cabinet, an organization that makes local climate policy solutions actionable for policymakers. She earned her B.S. and M.S. in Atmosphere and Energy Engineering from Stanford University. Before founding Climate Cabinet, she worked in solar energy.  Other Resources & Further Reading Climate Cabinet website: Climate Cabinet The Chisholm Legacy Project: Demystifying and Democratizing Public Utility Commissions The Guardian: Inside the climate group working everywhere but DC: ‘You can still have huge wins'  Caroline Spears biography: Caroline Spears For a transcript please visit, climatebreak.org/backing-climate-champions-in-local-elections-with-caroline-spears/

Bitcoin has just 4 weeks of Senate floor time before August recess to pass the Clarity Act — the bill that could unlock billions in sidelined institutional capital — and the political clock just got brutal. Trump is refusing to sign the housing bill (which carries the four-year CBDC ban) unless lawmakers approve a voter-ID bill, threatening the entire legislative track, while JPMorgan officially endorsed the Clarity Act today but loaded it with stablecoin restrictions designed to protect their deposit business. But the bull signals are stacking: DTCC's NSCC just went 24x5 (Wall Street catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality), and Fidelity outlined 5 catalysts that could end the bear market.

During this portion of the June 30, 2026 broadcast, Tara focused heavily on what Donald Trump recently categorized as the nation's biggest threat since its founding: the infiltration of the Democratic Party by radical socialists and communists. Backing up her claims with recent polling data, she noted a sharp decline in national pride among Democrats, contrasting it sharply with consistent patriotism on the conservative side. Tara warned that this shifts beyond domestic politics, pointing to an ongoing grand jury investigation into billionaire Neville Singham as proof of a broader effort by the Chinese Communist Party to inject dark money and divisive digital propaganda into American elections. Ultimately, she and her team argued that the public is noticing these extreme platform shifts, which is directly triggering a massive population migration away from progressive cities and into the American South.

During the third hour of The Tara Show on Monday, June 29, 2026, host Tara Servatius leveled sharp criticism at the administration's military strategy, questioning President Donald Trump's decision to halt operations in the Middle East while leaving Iran's strategic assets near the Strait of Hormuz completely intact. Tara argued that by implementing a ceasefire before neutralizing these critical targets—which include highly capable missile systems, coastal launch sites, radar installations, and drone facilities—the administration has essentially allowed a rogue regime to maintain its grip on a vital global shipping lane. Backing her analysis with insights from prominent military experts, Tara expressed deep concern that leaving this infrastructure functional despite precise U.S. intelligence on its location not only undermines the effectiveness of the initial strikes but also risks emboldening Iranian aggression, ultimately keeping commercial vessels and global trade under a continuous, looming threat.

What makes Dave a builder worth studying isn't just the scale; it's the discipline behind it: reverse-engineering an exceptional product from a mission, learning to test before betting, and protecting a brand as it grows.In this episode, I sit down with Dave to break down:• How he reverse-engineered an "exceptional product" from a donation mission — and brought athletic-sock innovation to the mass market• The Shark Tank breakout: from $800K to $2M in revenue in the six weeks after airing — and why ~20% of customers still affiliate Bombas with the show• The expensive lesson of expanding into adjacent products too fast — and the MVP-testing discipline that replaced it• Why the "obvious" extensions (underwear, t-shirts) underperformed while a sleeper bet (slippers) became 20% of the business• Radical-ish transparency: telling the whole company about a planned IPO and trusting adults to keep it quiet — and they did• The mark of a great founder: the self-awareness to evolve his own role as the company scaled, and how he screened his successor for humility• How Bombas is approaching AI — getting the whole company trained on Claude and Claude Code, and why building AI as a competency beat chasing shiny enterprise toolsBig thanks to Dave for coming on the pod and sharing the playbook — and the mindset — behind Bombas.⏱️ Chapter Markers:00:00 — Intro.
