You walk into the supermarket and left, right, and centre…No matter where you look you see “protein this, and protein that”. Safe to safe the whole protein train has gotten out of hand, even in my Dietitian opinion as someone who is very pro-protein.Does everything really need a protein version? Feel overwhelming getting a sense of the food supply these days? Well, you are not alone and I want to clear things up. Let's chat food marketing and protein craziness!In this episode, I explain why you need to take a step back and pick and choose your focus around protein foods and why going back to basics and simplicity may be just want the Dietitian ordered. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Many tutors unintentionally write announcement emails as though they're apologising before anyone has objected. In this episode, I explore how anticipating parents' reactions can create doubts that were never there, and how shifting the focus to the genuine value of your offer can lead to clearer, more confident communication.____________________

I explore the nuances of designing effective memberships for tutors, emphasizing sustainability, retention, and alignment with student needs. I share insights from my experience running The Tutor's Mastermind and offers practical advice for creating long-lasting, valuable memberships.Takeaways• Memberships should be designed for the long term, not just as a recurring payment.• A true membership leans on independent learning and community, not just tutor-led sessions.• Pricing lower than courses can lead to overwork and reduced profitability.• Retention is driven by design, not just content, and should be a primary focus.• Listening to feedback and evolving your membership over time is crucial for success.____________________

This week on Autonomy Signals presented by KPMG, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss Waymo launching commercial robotaxi service in Denver, San Diego, and Tampa on the same day, UBTECH's humanoid revenue surging 1,445% on industrial demand, and Sandvik unveiling SAMI, a cabin-less autonomous surface drill that removes humans from the blast zone.On September 1st, Waymo opened service to the public in Denver, San Diego, and Tampa, bringing the service to 14 cities with a fleet exceeding 4,000 vehicles, roughly 500,000 paid weekly trips, and 220 million fully autonomous miles.Launching three major markets simultaneously confirms Waymo has moved from single-city validation into a repeatable multi-market playbook, timed on the eve of Tesla's Cybercab launch to keep the market focused on verified commercial metrics.Denver is the signal inside the signal as it's Waymo's first cold-weather market, and Tampa becomes the first true head-to-head market where Waymo and Tesla launched within five weeks of each other. Waymo's constraint is vehicle supply, Tesla's is regulatory.While Waymo expanded, UBTECH reported roughly $190 million in first-half revenue, with humanoid sales surging nearly 1,500% year over year to 46% of group sales on 921 full-size Walker S units delivered at a 66.8% gross margin to automotive and smart factory customers such as Foxconn. The caveat is that 96% of that revenue came from bespoke customization contracts rather than repeatable product sales, making UBTECH a high-margin systems integrator wearing a humanoid robotics label, while China's near monopoly on motors, actuators, sensors, and batteries raises the risk that the West is pushed into a software IP licensing role.As humanoids scale on Chinese factory floors, Sandvik introduced SAMI, a fully autonomous, battery-electric, cabin-less concept surface drill that self-replaces its own bits and hammers via an onboard robotic arm, coordinated by a mine-wide AI agent. Removing the operator from the blast zone is immediately quantifiable ROI, and while SAMI remains a concept with unconfirmed timelines, it confirms industrial autonomy is shifting from single-vehicle automation to multi-asset orchestration, where value accrues to whoever owns the digital twin layer rather than the hardware.Episode Chapters0:00 KPMG Sponsor Introduction02:07 Signal 1: Waymo Launches service in Denver, San Diego, and Tampa31:29 Signal 2: UBTECH Humanoid Revenue Surges 1,445%51:10 Signal 3: Sandvik SAMI Takes Humans Out of the Blast ZoneFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Being busy does not always mean your business is growing. It's easy to fill your week with teaching, admin and endless small tasks while neglecting the work that truly drives progress. Instead of measuring success by how full your schedule is, focus on the activities that strengthen, simplify and grow your business. A well-designed business creates results while still leaving you time and space to breathe.____________________

As geopolitical shifts and supply chain crises redefine the global economy, bespoke rug makers and interior designers are finding new ways to maintain craftsmanship and client trust. This conversation with Ayub Ansari explores how California Design Living, a four-generation family business, is adapting to unprecedented challenges. From the sudden impact of 50% import tariffs to soaring air freight costs and labor shifts in India, the episode delves into the delicate balance between maintaining centuries-old artisanal traditions and surviving a volatile modern market. Economic Volatility & Tariffs: Recent years have seen dramatic shifts in import policies, including sudden 50% tariffs that have forced companies to move from fixed pricing to more transparent, range-based quotes for clients. The High Cost of Logistics: Supply chain disruptions and fuel surcharges have ballooned shipping costs, with some air freight quotes nearly doubling overnight. Preserving Artisanal Heritage: The industry faces a long-term challenge in attracting younger generations to master intricate techniques like Persian knotting, which can take over a year to learn. Evolution of the Showroom: High-end brands are moving toward “experience centers,” much like luxury car galleries, to focus on the touch-and-feel aspect of bespoke products in an increasingly digital world. Strategic Collaboration: Designers are encouraged to utilize trade programs and consolidated shipping to mitigate rising costs through volume and long-term vendor relationships. Applicable Elements: California Design Living: Explore the bespoke, made-to-order collections discussed in the episode. The Art of Hand-Notting: A deeper look into the intricate processes and heritage of handmade rugs.

After searching unsuccessfully for a custom pair of stingray cowboy boots, he decided to learn bootmaking himself, eventually opening Houston Boot Company after studying repair work and traditional construction methods.Choosing Leather for Cowboy BootsThe conversation compares several premium leathers, including kangaroo for its strength-to-weight ratio, horsehide for its appearance, elephant for durability, and the unique challenges of working with stingray and alligator. Material selection depends not only on appearance but also on workability, longevity, and intended use.Sizing Custom BootsJake explains why proper cowboy boot fitting begins with arch length instead of overall foot length. The discussion covers Brannock measurements, width sizing, custom lasts, heel height, and how bespoke boots are built around an individual's foot rather than forcing the wearer into a standard size.Inside a Handmade Cowboy BootFrom leather insoles and welt construction to stacked leather heels and wood-pegged shanks, Jake walks through many of the details that distinguish handmade boots from mass-produced footwear and explains why those traditional construction methods continue to matter today.Find out more about our guest on his WebsiteFollow the show: leathershoppod.com · @leathershoppodSupport on Patreon for early episodes and bonus content.

Ambition is nothing to be ashamed of. Wanting more income, greater impact or a bigger business does not mean you have to work longer hours or sacrifice your wellbeing. True ambition is about setting bold goals and designing a business that supports the life you want, rather than assuming success only comes through constant hard work. You are allowed to dream bigger and build a business that delivers both growth and balance.____________________

Derek Moore is joined by Mike Snyder and Shane Skinner this week to talk about how valuations of the top stocks now have shrunk to those of the overall market, while tech and other Mag7 stocks valuations have come down while earnings expectations are up. Plus, record short positioning in Nasdaq-100 futures, gold fund flows picking back up, VIX seasonality heading into the autumn, and a filing for 32 NHL team ETFs. All that and more this week.     The forward P/E of the largest 10 S&P 500 companies has converged with the other 490. J.P. Morgan data shows the top 10 near 19.8x versus 19.3x for the rest of the index. The S&P 500 sits around 19.6x forward earnings versus a 16.9x long-run average. Does a narrower valuation gap mean the market is finally broadening out? Ben Carlson notes the tech sector is up about 65% since the start of 2025. Tech's forward P/E still fell from 29x to 22x over that same stretch. Macro Charts flags the biggest Nasdaq short position since 2020 Asset managers and hedge funds are both leaning short Nasdaq-100 futures. What record short positioning could mean if anything Bespoke compares the Nasdaq after Netscape launched to the run since ChatGPT launched. The post-Netscape Nasdaq peaked up 592% on March 10, 2000. Goldman Sachs data shows four-week flows into gold funds picking up again. Central bank buying and returning retail ETF demand are supporting gold.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Manish Goregaokar, a senior software engineer and member of the Rust security response team, to discuss what LLMs do to the cost side of running a sophisticated con. They walk through a scam built for programmers: a plausible company, a few rounds of interviews, and an NDA signed via "sign in with email" that quietly hands an attacker the identity account everything else resets against. A version of it hit at least five people in the Rust community within days of Manish publishing on the subject, and Patrick describes being targeted himself by someone posing as a Bloomberg reporter who wanted him on a Zoom call with a codec problem. They also cover money mules and the three stages of laundering, the $25 million Hong Kong transfer authorized on a fully deepfaked video call, and why the only durable individual defense is refusing to trust any communication you did not initiate.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/what-llms-do-to-the-economics-of-scams-with-manish-goregaokar/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury, MongoDB & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

If you have spent any decent time trying to work on your health, nutrition, and fitness, you would have been likely led to believe that those with the strongest willpowers are those that succeed.And that without sheer, unrivaled willpower, you don't stand a chance, right?What if I told you it's not quite that black and white…that it's not that simple. That it's more complex than that and that quite simply, willpower is not enough. In this episode, I explain why willpower is a poor tool to leverage your success on and why so many have got it wrong about willpower and “motivation” when it comes to ultimate, sustainable longer term nutrition success. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Having lots of ideas is a sign of creativity, but it can also leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to make progress. Instead of trying to pursue every opportunity at once, capture your ideas in a trusted system, prioritise what matters most and focus on one thing at a time. Giving your best idea the attention it deserves will move your business forward far more effectively than chasing dozens of possibilities at once.____________________

If you've ever stood in a shop wondering why clothes that used to work for you suddenly don't, or ordered three different sizes online only to discover that none of them fit properly, this episode is for you.Bespoke tailor Roberto Revilla explores why shopping becomes increasingly frustrating for many men after 40, from changing body shape and inconsistent sizing to the rise of smart casual and the simple fact that most successful men become far more protective of their time as they get older.He also explains why his own approach to tailoring has changed, moving away from the much closer fits he wore in his forties towards straighter trousers and softer, more comfortable tailoring, and why understanding the life you live now is ultimately more useful than trying to dress the person you were twenty years ago. The full written article is available on the ⁠Roberto Revilla London blog. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Samantha shares practical strategies for overcoming the fear of delegation, designing systems that empower others to do tasks well, and creating a business that offers freedom and growth without burnout. Takeaways• The main reason tutors struggle to delegate is fear of losing control.• Designing tasks as systems allows anyone to do them well, regardless of expertise.• Documenting every task step makes delegation and future-proofing possible.• Shared task management tools are essential for effective delegation.• Creating a systemized process reduces the time spent on routine tasks.____________________

I work with both adult and adolescent athletes…And the thing that creates more complexity for the latter, is that fuelling has to be looked at from not just the lens of regular life and sport but also from one more very important way.What is this?

If the same problem keeps coming back in your business, it may not be the real issue. Challenges such as inconsistent enquiries or ineffective marketing are often symptoms of something deeper, like unclear positioning, an offer that doesn't meet your audience's needs or a flawed business model. Instead of working harder on the visible problem, take time to identify and address the underlying cause. That's where lasting progress begins.____________________

This Week In Startups is made possible by: Odoo https://Odoo.com/twist Quo https://quo.com/TWiST Northwest Registered Agent https://northwestregisteredagent.com/twist Today's show: *Before Bespoke's "travel concierge" chatbot could actually hold a conversation, founder/CEO Akemi Tsunagawa and her team quietly answered customers themselves. That "fake it till you make it" strategy paid off. Bespoke landed Narita Airport as a customer based on the strength of their "chatbot" answers, and now the team runs three companies, and is expanding into shipyard robots.

Download The Clearing, my free audit to help you find the space in your businessIn this episode, I want to challenge one of the most common assumptions in the tutoring world, that growing your income means adding more. More students, more hours, more offers. In my experience, some of the biggest income jumps a tutor ever makes come from the opposite direction, from working out what to stop doing first.I talk through why so many capable tutors hit the same ceiling, what growth actually looks like when it isn't about adding, and how to start clearing space in your own business so there's finally room to think.If you've ever felt that you want to grow but can't see where more would fit, this one is for you.Links mentioned in this episodeDownload The ClearingBook a free chat with me about the Bespoke 1:1 AcceleratorToggl, the free time-tracking tool____________________

In this candid and uplifting episode, entrepreneur, style icon, and Heaven Mayhem founder Pia Mance joins host Nicole Trumfio on The Village to chat about business, style, and preparing for first-time motherhood.Pia opens up about her intentional approach to life, from meticulously planning her pregnancy down to the timing, hormone health, and prep work, to crafting a flexible, realistic birth plan that balances modern medicine with comfort rituals. She candidly shares her refusal to compromise her personal identity during pregnancy, reflecting on how her strong work ethic drives her plans to bring her newborn baby boy into her creative environment at the office.From organizing an efficient post-baby life and navigating LA as an Aussie expat to her top newborn must-haves, baby photo announcement tips, and advice on post-baby style refreshes, Pia brings her signature humor and clarity to every topic. She also reflects on the importance of leaning into your community, building your modern "village," and nurturing female friendships through every transition of life.Disclaimer: The information shared on The Village reflects the personal experiences and opinions of each guest and should not be considered, nor used as a substitute for, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Building a successful business takes patience. Results rarely appear immediately, and there is often a gap between the effort you put in today and the outcomes you see in the future. Consistently showing up, even during quieter periods, helps build trust, strengthen relationships and create opportunities that may not become visible for weeks or months. Keep planting the seeds through steady action, because today's work is laying the foundations for tomorrow's growth.____________________

In this episode of Whiskey Lens, we step into the world of bespoke, age-old Scotch whisky with James Mackay of Artisan Cask (Artisanal Spirits Company). From rare drams to the art of private cask ownership, this conversation unpacks how exclusive cask experiences can elevate your entire whisky journey — and what it actually takes to own one.James shares stories from his years in premium Scotch, including one of the rarest pours of his career: a 52-year-old grain whisky that sold at auction for $20,000. We dig into the unique profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask No. 304590 — its natural cask strength, craftsmanship, and surprising approachability for bourbon drinkers — along with why cask re-racking and multi-stage maturation matter so much for building complexity.The conversation also covers:What it's actually like to own a private cask — sampling, aging decisions, and bottle deliveryThe social and personal side of ownership, including exclusive events and communityRegionality and terroir in Scotch, with real examples from Islay, Speyside, and beyondHow cask type — sherry vs. bourbon — shapes flavor over timeThe right glassware for tasting high-end Scotch, and why presentation mattersScotch's growing role in cocktail culture and pairing ideasA deep dive into Bunnahabhain 1989 and long-maturation complexityPeated Islay whisky and how peat profiles evolve over decades of agingWhat it takes to actually partner with Artisan Cask — minimum investment, entry pricing, and the full processWhether you're a Scotch collector, a whisky-curious bourbon drinker, or just fascinated by how the ultra-premium end of the spirits world works, this episode is packed with insider knowledge you won't find anywhere else.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Whiskey Lens and guest James Mackay00:45 Overview of Artisan Cask and bespoke cask ownership01:30 James Mackay's background and experience in premium Scotch03:00 Highlighting rare whiskies, including a 52-year-old grain whisky auction04:40 The story behind the auction-winning whisky and its significance05:15 Tasting notes and profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask06:57 How non-typical casks create unique flavors08:00 Artisanal Spirits' approach to cask selection and individual character10:40 The nose and palate of the Mortlach cask and approachability for bourbon drinkers11:26 The ownership process: sampling, aging, and bottle logistics12:54 Ownership intimacy: tasting samples and choosing bottling time14:26 Personal stories about cask ownership and its lasting impressions15:50 Tasting experience and glassware preferences16:42 Exploring Bunnahabhain 1989 and complexity from long maturation18:36 Cask management and secondary maturation processes20:18 Impact of re-racking and depth of whisky development22:42 Specifics on cask types: refill bourbon, sherry, and their influence24:38 Pairing whiskey with desserts and cocktails25:28 The social aspect of ownership: exclusive events and community26:38 High-net-worth audience and the premium experience27:09 Scotch in cocktails and regional diversity31:03 The nuances of peated Islay whiskies and aging effects34:01 The uniqueness of a special peated Islay cask36:14 The evolution of peat profiles over long aging periods38:27 Using cask-strength Scotch in premium cocktails39:20 Choosing a "desert island" cask for endless refills48:01 The partnership process with Artisan Cask: minimum investment and next steps50:21 Entry point and pricing details for exclusive cask ownership53:19 Final thoughts, thanks, and future meet-ups

It can feel like no one is paying attention to your marketing, especially during quieter times like the summer holidays. But visibility is about more than immediate likes, comments or replies. Every post, email and piece of content helps keep your business in people's minds, so when they are ready to take action, they are more likely to think of you. Consistently showing up, even when engagement feels low, is often what makes the biggest difference in the long run.____________________

On this episode of Volts, David Roberts joins Energy Empire hosts Jigar Shah and Jamie Nolan, along with Arnab Pal of Deploy Action, for a crossover conversation, and his argument is that everyone is solving the wrong problem. The hyperscalers could buy their way to consent for a rounding error, batteries in basements, solar on roofs, funded schools, lower bills, and they refuse, which David reads as a symptom of low social trust that no amount of better modeling touches. “This is not a technocratic problem that you can just solve with a few switches,” he says.

Send us Fan MailSteve Riley brings a unique perspective to Being An Engineer because he is not an engineer by title, but he has spent his career working directly in the environments where engineering, operations, manufacturing, and continuous improvement have to come together. His background spans plant leadership, program management, operations management, engineering management, injection molding, medical products, carbon fiber manufacturing, dental equipment, and Lean/5S implementation. Steve is currently Chief Organization Officer at Bespoke, a company that helps continuous improvement professionals achieve tool control through custom shadowboards and tool organization systems. Bespoke's work is focused on making 5S and Lean practices easier to sustain in real production environments, where missing tools, unclear standards, and inconsistent follow-through can quietly erode productivity over time.  Earlier in his career, Steve held leadership roles at Innovative Composite Engineering, Forest Dental Products, Freeport-McMoRan's Kinetics Metal Injection Molding operation, GM Nameplate, Nypro, and Precision Laboratory Plastics. Across those roles, he has worked close to the factory floor in areas such as program launches, operations leadership, high-volume molding, medical device manufacturing support, and press-side automation. For this episode, Steve wants to focus on continuous improvement and ways to make projects deliver long-term ROI. That is a valuable angle for engineers because many technical projects succeed in the short term but fail to become part of the organization's daily operating system. Steve's perspective centers on leadership behavior, standards, team ownership, and practical systems that keep improvement alive after the excitement of the initial project has worn off. A recent Lean Solutions Podcast episode featuring Steve highlighted this exact theme: Lean breaks down when standards become optional, and leadership behavior often matters more than the tools themselves.  LINKS: Steve Riley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevejriley/ Bespoke website: https://bespoketooltrays.com/ Aaron Moncur, host PDX 2026 is October 20-21 in Phoenix, AZ.

New day, same great conversations. Catch new episodes of SUPERLATIVE every Wednesday!In this episode of SUPERLATIVE, aBlogtoWatch founder and our host Ariel Adams sits down with Frederic Gasser, President of B.R.M North America, to discuss the unconventional story of bringing the French motorsport inspired watch brand to the United States. Frederic shares how a phone call, a handful of watches, and an unexpected first sale helped launch B.R.M in America, eventually leading to early opportunities with Neiman Marcus and retailers across the country. He also explains how B.R.M translates the colors, materials, mechanics, and energy of the racetrack into its watches, why the brand has remained committed to its distinctive racing identity, and how customization has helped build a passionate collector base.The conversation also explores the changing realities of the American watch market, from the growing influence of major brands over retailers to the challenges independent companies face in traditional wholesale. Frederic discusses B.R.M's shift toward direct relationships with collectors, bespoke watches, and creative collaborations, while sharing why smaller brands need to stay focused rather than chase every market opportunity. Ariel and Frederic also examine the challenges European watch companies face when entering the United States, the importance of having a genuine local presence, and why finding your own niche may be more valuable than just pursuing volume.Learn more about B.R.M:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brmchronographes/ - Website - https://brm-chronographes.com/ This week's episode is sponsored by the Movado Heritage Kingmatic collection, learn more at the link below:- https://www.movado.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Messenger RNA (mRNA) plays a literally central role in the functioning of life as we know it, shuttling information back and forth between the DNA where it is stored to the ribosome where it is used to produce proteins. RNA may even have been the first molecule to kick-start the origin of life. Today, scientists are learning how to manipulate mRNA to cure and prevent diseases, whether through vaccination or literally editing one's DNA. Jeff Coller explains how it all works and how mRNA is revolutionizing medicine as we know it.
