Throughout most of my career, the S&P 500 has been an appropriate bogey to assess manager performance. More than that, it's the most widely used benchmark in the capital markets. But today, it doesn't represent the broad-based, diversified exposure to the U.S. economy that most participants take for granted when investing passively or measuring manager skill. This WTT, When the Benchmark Becomes a Bet, considers the evidence, implications, and challenges posed by the current composition of the S&P 500. Read Ted's blog here.

In episode 333 of the Glass and Out Podcast we had the honour of being joined by the greatest hockey coach of all time, Scotty Bowman. As a head coach, Bowman led the Montreal Canadians, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings to a combined 9 Stanley Cups. He also captured another five cups in front office roles. He is the NHL's all-time wins leader, with a total of 1,467 between the regular season and playoffs and was twice awarded the Jack Adams trophy as the NHL's Coach of the Year. But above all else, Scotty Bowman is the ultimate student of the game. He was able to adapt to new rules, new generations of players, the introduction of Europeans to the NHL, and eventually, the influx of Russians that arrived with the collapse of the Soviet Union. He saw drastically different versions of the game from the rough and tumble 70's to the high flying 80's and the dead puck era in the 90's. At 92, his memory, as you are about to hear, is simply remarkable and there is no doubt that ability helped him gain a competitive advantage from behind the bench based on his ability to recall the slightest detail and nuance within a game. Listen as he shares a lesson in hockey history, practice tips from the legend Dick Irvin, and the how he views the current state of today's game.

Today on Open Book, I'm joined by legendary venture capitalist Bill Gurley, whose new book Runnin' Down a Dream challenges a lot of the career advice we give young people. Bill argues that the safest career path isn't the “safe job” at all—it's finding something you're genuinely fascinated by and chasing it relentlessly. We're going to talk about curiosity, regret, and how to build a career you actually love. Bill Gurley is a general partner at Benchmark, a leading venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. Over his venture career, he has invested in and served on the board of such companies as Nextdoor, OpenTable, Stitch Fix, Uber, and Zillow. Gurley has written about technology and other subjects on his popular blog, Above the Crowd, for over 20 years. This is a sensational book.

A series of “extraordinary” events has made the environment more challenging for growth stocks. But “this level of trepidation can't go on forever”, says Baillie Gifford partner Stuart Dunbar in this latest episode, suggesting that patient investors will benefit when stability returns and the markets value exceptional companies at a premium again. Stuart Dunbar is a director in Baillie Gifford's Clients Department and is responsible for helping shape and communicate the firm's investment philosophy.In this conversation, he considers how a succession of disruptive events – the most recent being the current war in the Middle East – has rattled markets and led investors to focus on companies' short-term profits rather than their long-term potential.However, this period of flux will not last forever, he argues. And when we re-enter a period of stability, patience should be rewarded as markets recognise exceptional companies' future earnings potential and price them accordingly. In the meantime, Baillie Gifford's investment teams remain focused on finding and supporting businesses that will prosper from change and supporting their management to take the long view. And as Dunbar reveals, as the sources of growth broaden out, we are backing some companies that come as a surprise. Portfolio companies discussed include:Astera Labs – the semiconductor chip designer, whose products tackle data bottlenecks in AI datacentresIREN – the datacentre operator whose clients include MicrosoftMedpace – a contract research organisation that biotech and pharmaceutical companies hire to run their clinical trialsNu Holdings – owner of the Latin American fintech NubankSpotify – the audio streaming platform that lets people listen to music, podcasts and audiobooksWillScot – North America's largest provider of temporary space rentals, leasing out modular offices, portable storage containers and classroom units Resources:Actual investors hubActual investing revisitedBaillie Gifford podcastsPrivate growth investingThe Compound and Friends podcastThe Success Equation Companies mentioned include:AJ BellAmazonAnthropicAstera LabsByteDanceIRENMedpaceMicrosoftNu HoldingsNVIDIASpotifyWillScot Timecodes:00:00 Introduction02:00 Active v passive03:35 “Know what we own”06:15 Building relationships with company leaders07:55 Causes and effects of uncertainty11:05 Beyond the Magnificent 712:45 A period of relative stability17:50 Compressed valuations19:25 Nubank and Medpace's promise23:10 Meetings with clients25:40 Broader sources of growth28:15 Private equity growth31:25 Better-informed stock picking33:25 Staying independent and standalone35:45 “Wait until the market comes to its senses”37:10 Book choiceGlossary of terms (in order of mention): Latent heat: energy absorbed or released during a change of state, like ice melting, without a change in temperature.Active investing: trying to beat the market by choosing investments based on research and judgement.Passive funds: investment funds that track a market index rather than picking stocks actively.Quantitative approaches: investment methods that use data, models and statistics to make decisions.Market capitalisation weights: an index method that gives bigger companies a larger influence based on their total market value.Alignment of incentives: making sure different parties are rewarded in ways that encourage the same goals.Drawdowns: significant falls in the value of an investment from a previous peak.R&D: research and development – spending on innovation and new products or technologies.Backdate options: setting share-option dates retrospectively to make them more valuable, often controversially.Shareholder registers: the official records of who owns a company's shares.Benchmark: a standard, often an index, used to compare investment performance.Magnificent 7 / Mag 7: the seven giant US tech stocks that have dominated market performance in recent years.GPU: graphics processing unit – a specialised chip often used for AI computing because it handles parallel tasks well.Sub-market multiple: a valuation lower than the market average.Strategic asset allocation: deciding how much to invest in broad asset classes like shares, bonds or private markets.Benchmark-aware: closely focused on performance relative to a benchmark index.Venture capital: investment in early-stage, high-growth private companies.Private equity buyout funds: funds that buy controlling stakes in companies, often using debt.Private equity growth: investing in more mature private companies that are expanding but not yet public.Roadshow: presentations by company leaders to investors ahead of an IPO or fundraising.Alternative asset classes: investments outside traditional shares and bonds, such as private equity or infrastructure.Path dependency: the idea that outcomes are shaped by the sequence of earlier decisions and events.

What does it mean for audio gear to be “technically correct,” and why should listeners care? In the fourth-season finale of the SoundStage! Audiophile Podcast, host Jorden Guth and producer Dennis Burger are joined by John Siau, vice president of Benchmark Media Systems. He discusses his background in the broadcast industry and how that experience shaped Benchmark's engineering-driven approach to audio design. The conversation explores the evolution of DAC technology, the relationship between hi-fi and professional audio, and the ongoing balance between listening impressions and objective measurements. Siau also explains why he believes accurate measurements ultimately lead to better musical performance and addresses common misconceptions about digital audio. The episode concludes with a look at Benchmark's commitment to designing and manufacturing its products in the United States, and why the Syracuse, New York–based company sees domestic production as both a practical and philosophical choice.

On today's episode, Sam talks with Alice Xiang, global head of AI governance at Sony and lead research scientist for AI ethics at Sony AI, about what it actually takes to put responsible artificial intelligence into practice at scale. Alice shares how Sony moved early on AI ethics and why governance, not just principles, is now the real challenge as AI spreads across products and workflows. The conversation dives into FHIBE, Sony's publicly available and ethically sourced benchmark for evaluating bias in computer vision, and why measuring fairness is often harder than fixing it. Along the way, they tackle data consent, “data nihilism,” and the very real risks of deploying biased systems in everyday and high-stakes contexts. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As the global head of AI governance at Sony, Alice Xiang leads the team guiding the establishment of AI governance policies and governance frameworks across the company's business units. She's also the lead research scientist for AI ethics at Sony AI, which is working on cutting-edge sociotechnical research to enable the development of more responsible AI solutions. Xiang holds a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School, a master's in development economics from Oxford University, and a master's in statistics and bachelor's in economics from Harvard University. *Please take our listener survey: mitsmr.com/podcastsurvey It's short — we promise! — and all respondents will receive a free MIT SMR article collection, "Maximizing the Value of Generative AI."

We trace the line from Shenk's 1753 Pennsylvania rye to a modern Kentucky rebirth, where low entry proof, heat-cycled warehouses, and uncompromising standards define how every bottle earns its label. Along the way, we revisit Fort Nelson memories, the bottle-your-own experience, and the friendships that make great pours even better.We sit with the choices that changed the trajectory of Michter's: rebuilding in Kentucky under Joe Magliocco, tapping legendary guidance from Dick Newman, and empowering Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson to release only what meets the mark. That means small batches around 20 barrels, single-barrel highlights, and the guts to skip the 10 Year when the whiskey isn't ready. We unpack why 103 proof going into the barrel deepens oak sweetness at approachable bottle proofs, and how heat-cycling keeps extraction alive through winter for a rounder mid-palate and cleaner finish.Tasting the 2019 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash brings the philosophy to life: cherry, maple, and toasted marshmallow on the nose; a light-to-medium body that still coats; honeyed sweetness with a snap of pepper; and a dry, medium finish. We also explore how Michter's helped popularize toasted barrel finishing, why age statements don't guarantee balance, and how homage releases like Shenk's and Bomberger's honor Pennsylvania roots while Fort Nelson Select grounds the present in Louisville. The result is a consistent, distinctive profile that collectors chase and newcomers can enjoy without a learning curve.If you love whiskey history, crave insight into maturation choices, or just want tasting notes you can use tonight, you'll feel right at home.

Chetan Puttagunta is a General Partner at Benchmark.We talk about investing in Manus, the AI company that went from zero to $100M ARR in eight months and was recently acquired by Meta.We also talk through the full history of application software, from mainframes to client-server, to the internet to cloud, why each wave reduced the barrier to entry and created an explosion in the number of new software, why legacy SaaS companies are making the same mistake on-prem vendors made at the dawn of the cloud, why software companies should be making big AI acquisitions, and how public market investors are begging private AI companies to go public.We also talk about what Benchmark actually looks for in founders, how they make decisions, and why his last two investments were consumer AI and crypto.Thanks to Sam Ross and Everett Randle for helping brainstorm topics for this conversation.Thanks you to Numeral and Flex for supporting this episode.Try Numeral, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance: https://www.numeral.comSign-up for Flex Elite with code TURNER, get $1,000: https://form.typeform.com/to/Rx9rTjFzTimestamps:(0:08) Inside the $2.5B Manus acquisition(6:24) Manus' three main use cases(11:08) Taking heat on Twitter(15:10) Starting to tweet about software in 2018(22:50) The history of application software(29:15) Benchmark's 25x Fund 7(31:33) SaaS incumbents got too dominant by 2020(31:48) Going all-in on AI software in 2022(39:31) Benchmark didn't invest in the big AI labs(40:48) How cloud companies beat on-prem competitors(44:33) Why AI companies will beat legacy cloud competitors(50:04) Software incumbents should make big AI acquisitions(57:35) Why incumbents have not bought more AI companies(1:04:43) Public markets are starving for AI companies(1:10:14) Inside Benchmark's fund strategy(1:14:14) Benchmark's history of non-traditional VC rounds(1:17:56) Is the 20% ownership model outdated?(1:19:20) Chetan's rebirth as a consumer investor(1:22:39) What Benchmark looks for in founders(1:25:01) AI coding and gross marginsReferencedBenchmark: https://benchmark.com/Eric Vishria's podcast episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-5IsqFgrZMWorkday S-1: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1327811/000119312512375787/d385110ds1.htmInnovator's Dilemma: https://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Dilemma-Revolutionary-Business-Essentials/dp/0060521996Try FOMO: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fomo-never-miss-out/id6741115427Follow ChetanTwitter: https://x.com/chetanpLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chetanputtaguntaFollow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

While Anthropic and the Pentagon fought, OpenAI swooped in to secure a big deal. But at what cost? And while it seemed like the entire AI news world was wrapped up in the Anthropic-Trump-OpenAI drama, the rest of big tech went nuts. Microsoft teased something agentic, Claude actually shipped it, and Perplexity dropped probably its most important product to date. This week's theme apparently: drama and agents. We'll get you caught up on all of the AI News That Matters.

Key Takeaways: Managing Emotions Matters: Successful investing starts with emotional control. When you calm nervous energy, you can think more clearly and make better decisions. Know the Difference Between Fear and Intuition: Fear and anxiety create urgency and confusion. Intuition feels calm and steady, and it helps guide thoughtful, informed actions. Emotional Stability Starts at Home: Spending quality time and being present with family helps regulate emotions. This stability carries over into better, more mature financial choices. Volatility Can Be an Advantage: Market ups and downs don't have to be scary. When understood and respected, volatility can open the door to long-term wealth. Use Both Logic and Emotional Intelligence: Smart investing combines numbers and analysis with self-awareness and intuition. Both are important for making sound decisions over time.

What do most people regret at the end of their careers? According to legendary venture capitalist Bill Gurley, it's not the failures — it's the risks they never took. In this wide-ranging episode of The Puck, Jim Baer sits down with Gurley — longtime Benchmark partner, early Uber board member, and author of Running Down a Dream — for a candid conversation on boldness, bubbles, AI speculation, venture capital cycles, and America's structural challenges. Gurley reflects on: - Why “boldness regret” weighs heavier than failure - How to turn passion into mastery — and why most people don't - The resume arms race and why young people feel trapped - AI: real revolution or speculative excess? (Hint: both) - Venture capital's evolution — from discipline to burn-at-all-costs - Why five-year AI forecasts may set companies up to stumble - Regulatory capture in healthcare and education - State-by-state competition as America's hidden advantage From Austin's music scene to Silicon Valley's capital cycles, Gurley delivers battle-tested insights from decades at the center of tech's biggest waves. If you care about careers, markets, AI, or the future of the U.S. economy, this episode is essential listening.
