Send us a textMiguel Armaza interviews Eynat Guez, CEO and Founder of Papaya Global. She has built an HR and payroll platform that has transformed how companies manage and operate global teams across 180 countries. After having faced over 1,000 rejections from VCs, Papaya has now grown to process $34 billion in payments annually and they've raised significant funding from Insight Partners, Bessemer, Greenoaks Capital, and more.We discuss why brutal honesty and direct leadership creates stronger companies, how founders need to learn "investor language" to sell the company vision rather than the product, the operational complexity of building global from day one across 160 countries, and how being a mother of three shaped her approach to building a hypergrowth company. Want more podcast episodes?

In his talk, “Demography, Religion, and the Eight-Billion Body Problem," Stephen Bullivant delves into the complex interplay between declining fertility rates, evolving religious landscapes, and shifting societal values, particularly in America. He explores how these interconnected trends are reshaping demographics, impacting the economy, and influencing geopolitics. Bullivant examines the rise of non-religious individuals, the role of immigration, and the significant challenges posed by an aging population, arguing that declining birth rates are linked to both decreasing religiosity and changes in values like patriotism and community involvement. While demographic shifts offer some predictability, Bullivant highlights the uncertain long-term consequences of these profound societal changes. The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

Tara dives into a packed hour of sharp political commentary, covering the Wall Street Journal's expose on Harvard training Chinese Communist Party officials, mainstream media hypocrisy over so-called “Nazi salutes” by Elon Musk and Cory Booker, and growing backlash against USAID's murky global funding. She breaks down the $9.4 billion Trump rescission package hitting Congress, targeting NPR, PBS, and foreign aid. Bonus: nuclear concerns with Iran, EU censorship, and a wholesome tip for a family hike at Grayson Highlands with wild horses.

“It has the potential to drive down energy cost here in the United States and rebuild manufacturing,” says financial journalist and research economist Garrett Baldwin. In an eye-opening interview with Daniela Cambone, Baldwin reveals a groundbreaking energy development powered by Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), a technology with the power to transform the U.S. energy grid. According to Baldwin, unlike solar and wind, EGS taps into the Earth's virtually unlimited heat, providing 24/7, clean, base-load power—and it's already happening on U.S. public land. “I looked at this story out in Utah… I'd never seen anything like it before.” Watch this video to discover how EGS could revolutionize America's energy future.

The largest intergenerational wealth transfer in Australian history is quietly transforming our property landscape. A staggering $3.5 trillion will pass from baby boomers to younger generations by 2050, with 70% of this wealth tied up in real estate. This isn't some distant future scenario—over $150 billion is already changing hands annually, reshaping housing opportunities for thousands of Australians.Most surprisingly, the "Bank of Mum and Dad" has emerged as Australia's ninth-largest lender, pumping more than $35 billion yearly into the property market through loans, gifts, and guarantees. While the average inheritance sits at $125,000, those in blue-chip suburbs often receive $500,000 or more. This financial boost has become essential for younger buyers, with 60-70% of first-home purchasers now receiving some form of parental assistance—a dramatic shift from previous generations.Parental support extends beyond direct cash transfers. Many families use equity in their existing homes as guarantees, typically lasting just 2-3 years until property values rise or mortgages are paid down. This approach allows parents to help without immediately transferring large sums. We're also seeing more multi-generational households forming as families combine resources to secure larger properties accommodating extended family members. However, this assistance often comes with complexity, as parents supporting one child frequently feel obligated to help all children equally.This wealth shift raises important questions about housing access and equity in Australia. For those with access to the "Bank of Mum and Dad," the path to homeownership becomes significantly smoother. For others, the challenge intensifies. Whether you're planning to help your children, hoping to receive assistance, or navigating the market independently, understanding this massive wealth transition is crucial for making informed property decisions in today's evolving landscape. Have you discussed inheritance planning with your family?

In this week's “we told you so” edition, we kick things off with the latest AI faceplant—go ahead, Google “Is it 2025?” and try not to spit coffee on your keyboard. Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg's brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix's Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who greenlit Love Is Blind.But wait, crypto bros are having their own John Wick arc: a luxury townhouse, a missing wallet, and possibly an NYPD detective tangled in a real-life “crypto millionaire torture” flick. As if that isn't enough, Trump Media is fundraising to buy $2.5B in Bitcoin—and DJT stock promptly nosedived. Also feuding this week: Marjorie Taylor Greene vs. Grok, because nothing screams Christian values like rageposting at Elon's AI. And speaking of Elon, he's now in bed with Telegram to the tune of $300 million, which we're sure won't be a disinformation factory.MEDIA CANDY is stacked: from the Murderbot diaries to a My Dinner with Andre rewatch, and yes, the Wheel of Time got axed after 3 seasons. Apps? Opera Neon is a UI fever dream, Starling Home Hub adds more smarts to your house, and WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad—welcome to 2016. In THE DARK SIDE, Dave Bittner brings the latest digital dirt, including the CIA's bonkers Star Wars fan site op. And if you're hitting the library, grab The AI Con or something more romantic—like Love, Sex and the Alien Apocalypse.

Lex chats with Stani Kulechov - founder and CEO of Aave, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. They explore the evolution of DeFi, Aave's growth, and its architectural shift from a peer-to-peer model to pooled liquidity. Stani reflects on the early days of DeFi, the impact of the FTX collapse, and the increasing adoption of DeFi over centralized exchanges. They discuss Aave's strategies for attracting assets, the importance of capital efficiency, and future innovations, including the tokenization of real-world assets and the role of stablecoins. Notable discussion points: 1. Aave Reaches $40 Billion in Net Deposits: Stani Kulechov shared that Aave has achieved a record-breaking $40 billion in net deposits and $25 billion in active liquidity, making it the largest DeFi lending protocol ever by total value locked (TVL). 2.

The Rise of Real-World Assets and Stablecoins in DeFi: Kulechov emphasized that tokenized real-world assets (like treasuries) and decentralized stablecoins (such as Aave's GHO) are reshaping the DeFi landscape, predicting RWAs will outgrow both stablecoins and native crypto assets in total value locked within five years. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Horizon, FTX, Project Guardian, AaveDAO, MakerDAO, Web3, DeFi, Lending, stablecoins, tokens, RWA, decentralized finance, capital markets, DAO, Digital Assets ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Send us a textThe national conversation around immigration is often filled with misconceptions, oversimplifications, and dehumanizing rhetoric. But behind the headlines and political talking points are real human beings with profound stories of sacrifice, resilience, and hope.In this deeply moving conversation, host Mike Rathbun sits down with Rosa Casquino, a Latinx licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist who specializes in supporting survivors within immigrant communities. As an immigrant herself who came to the US from Peru at age two and lived undocumented until age 18, Rosa brings both professional expertise and personal experience to this crucial discussion.Rosa powerfully challenges common myths about immigration, explaining that undocumented individuals don't receive free healthcare, housing, or food stamps as many believe. Instead, many pay taxes using Taxpayer Identification Numbers while never receiving the benefits they contribute to. She shares heart-wrenching stories of people who have survived near-death experiences crossing deserts and waters, human trafficking, and extreme violence – all to provide for families they've left behind.The conversation reveals uncomfortable truths: there is rarely a straightforward path to citizenship for most immigrants despite decades of contribution; immigrants often take essential jobs most Americans won't do; and families make unimaginable sacrifices that continue to affect them emotionally decades later. Rosa's mother still cries about not getting to say goodbye to her own mother 40 years ago.Perhaps most powerfully, Rosa suggests we change our fundamental question from "why are they coming?" to "what have they survived to get here?" This simple shift acknowledges the humanity at the center of immigration – something too often missing from our national discourse.Join us for this eye-opening discussion that looks beyond politics to find the human stories that deserve our attention, compassion, and understanding. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear these perspectives, and follow us on social media to continue this important conversation.Facts about undocumented individuals you may have not heard:Undocumented workers can pay tax on their wages.In fact, some estimates place the amount of revenue paid in federal, state and local taxes at $100 Billion.You may have heard, and believed, that the influx of undocumented immigrants bring crime to a community. That's verifiably not true.Empathy and compassion can go a long way towards having a genuine conversation on how to fix our broken immigration systems.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

Ireland ranks 117th out of 253 countries, with over 57 million leaked cookies - 4.7 million of which are still active and tied to real user activity. According to the latest research by cybersecurity company NordVPN, Ireland has landed a troubling spot on the global leaderboard for leaked cookies, ranking 117th out of 253 countries. Over 57 million cookies linked to Irish users have been found on the dark web. Although cookies are commonly seen as helpful for improving online experiences, many don't realise that hackers can exploit them to steal personal data and access secure systems. "Cookies may seem harmless, but in the wrong hands, they're digital keys to our most private information," says Adrianus Warmenhoven, cybersecurity expert at NordVPN. "What was designed to enhance convenience is now a growing vulnerability exploited by cybercriminals worldwide." The hidden risk behind everyday browsing Cookies are small text files that websites store on a user's browser to remember preferences, login details, and browsing behaviour. They play a vital role in making online experiences smoother, helping websites load faster, keeping shopping carts full, and allowing users to stay logged in across sessions. Without cookies, the convenience and personalisation of the modern web would be severely limited. However, as the digital landscape evolves, so does the misuse of these tools. Cybercriminals have learned to harvest cookies to hijack sessions, steal identities, and bypass security measures. "Most people don't realise that a stolen cookie can be just as dangerous as a password," says Warmenhoven. "Once intercepted, a cookie can give hackers direct access to accounts and sensitive data, no login required." Millions of pieces of personal data exposed NordVPN's research reveals a massive malware operation that stole almost 94 billion cookies - a dramatic jump from 54 billion just a year ago, marking a 74% increase. Even more concerning, 20.55% of these cookies are still active, posing an ongoing risk to users' online privacy. Most stolen cookies came from major platforms, including Google (4.5 billion), YouTube (1.33 billion), and over 1 billion each from Microsoft and Bing. The growth is just as alarming when comparing personal data exposure over the past few years. In 2024, NordVPN identified 10.5 billion assigned IDs, 739 million session IDs, 154 million authentication tokens, and 37 million login credentials. In 2025, those numbers rose sharply, with 18 billion assigned IDs and 1.2 billion session IDs now exposed. These data types are critical for identifying users and securing their online accounts, making them highly valuable to cybercriminals. The stolen information often included full names, email addresses, cities, passwords, and physical addresses - key personal data that can be used for identity theft, fraud, and unauthorised account access. The data was harvested using 38 different types of malware, more than triple the 12 types identified last year. The most active strains were Redline (41.6 billion cookies), Vidar (10 billion), and LummaC2 (9 billion). These malware families are known for stealing login details, passwords, and other sensitive data. Redline is a powerful infostealer that extracts saved passwords, cookies, and autofill data from browsers, giving hackers direct access to personal accounts. Vidar works similarly but also downloads additional malware, making it a gateway to more complex attacks. LummaC2 is particularly evasive, frequently updating its tactics to slip past antivirus tools and spread across systems undetected. In addition to these known threats, researchers discovered 26 new types of malware not seen in 2024 - a sign of how quickly the cybercrime landscape is evolving. New entries like RisePro, Stealc, Nexus, and Rhadamanthys are especially dangerous. RisePro and Stealc are built to rapidly steal browser credentials and session data, while Nexus targets banking information using mobile emul...

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWFirst-Mover Advantage: HPQ is the only known company with a proven direct process from quartz to fumed silica—cutting cost, emissions, and complexity.Two Global Giants Testing Samples: One under LOI, another under NDA and re-engaging after prior testing—signaling escalating interest and competitive optionality.Modular, Scalable Tech: Enables regional production with lower capex to capitalize on tariff wars and ESG mandates.Domestic Market Opportunity: Canada's $150–200M USD fumed silica market currently has no Canadian manufacturer — HPQ is positioned to fill that gap.When the $10 Billion industry leading manufacturer asks for early samples of your product — before you're even ready to ship — it signals more than interest. It signals intent. HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF, alongside partner PyroGenesis, has entered a critical phase in its commercialization path for fumed silica — an essential compound used in everything from cosmetics to construction.HPQ's one-step quartz-to-fumed silica process eliminates the toxic chemicals, high emissions, and billion-dollar infrastructure typically required by incumbents who are working with outdated processes. That innovation is now moving out of the pilot plant and into the hands of world-leading producers.THE MILESTONE THAT MATTERSHPQ has shipped its first batch of fumed silica to a leading global manufacturer Evonik for evaluation. This follows third-party validation at the lab level and successful scale-up to pilot production.“This collaboration gives us access to over 80 years of real-world manufacturing and market expertise—an advantage that accelerates our development and strengthens our commercialization efforts.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO, HPQ SiliconA second global player, which had previously received a small test batch and is under NDA, has also re-engaged — requesting additional material from a higher-quality production run. The significance: HPQ now has multiple industry leaders testing samples, placing the company in a far stronger commercial negotiation position than ever before.THE STRATEGIC OUTLOOKRather than lock into early-stage agreements, HPQ is preserving flexibility to pursue the most advantageous commercial path — whether via joint ventures, licensing, or direct production. With a clean, modular process that eliminates toxic byproducts and avoids billion-dollar capex, HPQ is not just participating in a $2B+ market — it's challenging its foundation.For investors, this isn't merely a materials science breakthrough. It's a potential paradigm shift. With validation underway, commercial discussions accelerating, and strategic optionality intact, HPQ is emerging as a first mover with the technology and timing on its side.Watch the full interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon to understand why the world's top producers are now knocking on HPQ's door.

Join Nick as he conducts a special masterclass mentoring session with guest Rohan Sheth, where they dive deep into the world of paid media advertising, exploring its significance for businesses at various stages of growth. Rohan, a seasoned expert and co-founder of the well-known agency GrowRev, shares insights from his extensive experience managing over $300 million in ad spend and generating over $2 billion in revenue for clients like Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone. The discussion covers common fears surrounding paid advertising, the importance of understanding customer lifetime value, and effective strategies for crafting compelling ad campaigns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paid media is a powerful tool for scaling businesses quickly, but it requires a solid understanding of the numbers involved, such as customer acquisition cost and lifetime value. Knowing these metrics helps mitigate fears associated with spending money on ads. Different advertising platforms serve different purposes. For instance, LinkedIn is effective for B2B targeting, while Snapchat is emerging as a cost-effective option for lead generation, particularly in sectors like healthcare and telemedicine. Continuous testing of ad creatives, messaging, and targeting is crucial for optimising ad performance. Utilising AI tools can enhance this process by providing insights into audience segmentation and creative development. A clear understanding of the customer journey from awareness to conversion is essential. This involves ensuring that the messaging in ads aligns with what users see on landing pages to avoid confusion and increase conversion rates. Starting with a manageable budget (e.g., $50 a day) and maintaining consistency in ad spending is important for building momentum in advertising campaigns. Platforms favour advertisers who demonstrate consistent activity, which can lead to better performance over time. BEST MOMENTS "There is no quicker way to scale a business than by being able to turn on paid media and also turn it off." "Fear is the biggest one that I see a lot of the time... it comes down to understanding. There is a way to just light up money on fire." "If you know your lifetime value for customers is north of $20,000, I'd go to LinkedIn because you're going to get that." "The one thing Facebook likes to see is consistency. They'd rather you spend $50 a day consistently than turn it on and off." "Get really clear on that customer journey or that prospect to customer journey. That's critical."

SEASON 3 EPISODE 129: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45 SPECIAL COMMENT) The Trump Mental Illness Crisis - and Cover-up -worsens. This kind of reality detachment, in such different venues, on such different topics, from turning the West Point graduation ceremony into advice on when to marry a trophy wife to demanding somebody pay him a cut of what Harvard takes in tuition (and mistaking $52 Million for $52 Billion)... this kind of mental incapacity from any other president, at any other time – including Trump himself, seven or eight years ago – would have been greeted by wall-to-wall television and online coverage and banner newspaper headlines. Instead within 12 hours it was all forgotten so our national media could ignore the extinction-level-event crisis of a president gone fully insane, so it could return to regularly scheduled programming about how the PAST president wouldn’t instantly admit his acuity game had slipped to a B, B-minus. The Trump Trophy Wife remark, to say nothing of the overnight demand of a taste of the tuition action at Harvard, vanished by the time the Sunday news shows hit. Including the Sunday news show hosted by Jake Tapper. ESPECIALLY the Sunday news show hosted by Jake Tapper. Also missing from Tapper's show – and the others – the reality that Tapper and his co-author, gossip writer Alex Thompson, are going to have to withdraw their book about President Biden’s acuity issues. From Politico, Semafor, Breaker, and other outlets comes the not-so-startling truth: these idiots fact checked next to nothing. There's also an internal revolt against Tapper at CNN. MEANWHILE: What the hell is wrong with Kristi Noem, and why is Harvard doing so well in fighting back against Trump while my old colleague Claire Shipman and Columbia are circling the drain? B-BLOCK (36:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Death pimp and Republican Congressman Andy Clyde makes it easier to shoot people and buy his guns. Tim Walz says "Gestapo" and the right freaks out when it should be the left freaking out because he didn't say it last October. And Bill Maher has kissed more MAGA heinie yet still thinks anybody thinks he's a liberal. C-BLOCK (50:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's anniversary time! 24 years since I asked Rupert Murdoch how I should cover a story about Rupert Murdoch selling a baseball team for Rupert Murdoch's TV Sports network, and when I did what his office told me, he fired me.

If you started investing any time within the last five years, it's probably felt like a steady stream of firsts—between a global pandemic, changing interest rates, inflation, war, and recession fears, it's been one plot twist after another. But it's not a new story—it's the same economic movie on repeat. And if you understand the principles behind it, you can learn to master the markets. That's where today's guest Ray Dalio comes in. He's the founder of Bridgewater Associates—the world's largest hedge fund with over $150 billion under management—and the author of New York Times bestsellers like Principles, that's become required reading from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.
