How do you protect the human craft of storytelling while navigating a global independent market that is rapidly contracting? This week, Giles Alderson and Phil Hawkins sit down for an incredibly candid, wide-ranging masterclass with Jonathan Yunger—President of Millennium Media and co-founder of Arcana Labs. Jonathan has masterminded massive worldwide features grossing billions of dollars—producing major franchise hits like The Expendables, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and the Fallen series, alongside star-driven indie standouts like Tesla starring Ethan Hawke, Jolt starring Kate Beckinsale, Till Death starring Megan Fox, and The Enforcer starring Antonio Banderas. His latest project, John Rambo (directed by Sisu filmmaker Jalmari Helander), is a masterclass in 99% practical, old-school action cinema. Yet, Jonathan is also leading the charge on ethical, artist-driven tech integration through Arcana Labs—an enterprise-grade ecosystem fully vetted by major streaming networks after rigorous multi-month security compliance reviews. In this episode, we strip away the PR spin to examine how the disruption of streaming windows broke the traditional indie minimum guarantee model, and why embracing assistive workflows is the key to reclaiming creative risk.

Mark Tluszcz had the career most people would chase: a top consulting job, rapid success, and a clear path forward. But eight years in, he made a move very few would dare to make. He left his high-paying job to start his own firm, faced hundreds of rejections while raising capital, and built Mangrove Capital from scratch. That same contrarian mindset led him to back companies others overlooked, becoming an early investor in Skype and later Chairman of Wix. In this episode, Mark joins Ilana to share how he invested early in Skype, spotted Wix before it became a global company, and why he turned down a $400 million acquisition offer. He also breaks down how to build conviction, embrace rejection, and find opportunities where others see risk. Mark Tluszcz is the co-founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners and chairman of Wix, one of the world's leading website-building platforms. He is widely regarded as one of Europe's most influential venture capitalists, known for his early investments in Skype and Wix. In this episode, Ilana and Mark will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (05:36) Growing Up Across Multiple Cultures (09:09) Leaving Corporate Consulting to Build His Own Firm (13:58) Building Mangrove Capital During the Internet Boom (20:54) How to Keep Going After Hundreds of Nos (27:25) How Skype Evolved Beyond Music (36:47) Staying Humble After a Massive Win (43:08) Discovering Wix and Rethinking Venture Capital (50:33) Turning Down a $400M Deal: The Wix Story (57:41) Building Resilience Through Honest Conversations (01:01:14) Spotting the Next Wave of AI Opportunity (01:10:57) The Founder Mindset That Actually Lasts Mark Tluszcz is the co-founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners, a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm he built from the ground up after leaving Arthur Andersen in 2000. He was one of the first investors in Skype, where Mangrove's $2 million investment reportedly returned $200 million, and he has served as chairman of Wix, where an $8 million investment reportedly yielded $700 million.

SpaceX ist am Freitag in New York an die Börse gegangen – und der Start an der Nasdaq hätte kaum spektakulärer laufen können. Das Unternehmen wurde auf einen Schlag über zwei Billionen Dollar wert. „Die Aktie war zu einem Kurs von 135 Dollar ausgegeben worden. Den ersten Handelstag schloss die Aktie dann am Freitag mit einem Plus von 19 Prozent bei rund 161 Dollar ab. Zwischenzeitlich lag sie sogar bei 176 Dollar", sagt Manuel Koch. Der Chefredakteur von Inside Wirtschaft weiter: „Der größte Gewinner? Elon Musk. Durch seinen Anteil von rund 40 Prozent an SpaceX ist sein Vermögen weiter explodiert. Damit wird er zum ersten Menschen mit einem Vermögen von mehr als einer Billion Dollar – zumindest auf dem Papier. Der Börsengang brachte SpaceX außerdem 75 Milliarden Dollar ein. Fest steht: Der SpaceX-Börsengang ist bereits jetzt ein Stück Börsengeschichte." Alle Details im Video von der New York Stock Exchange und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de

Tillman Fertitta is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in hospitality, gaming, and entertainment. As the owner of the Houston Rockets, the Golden Nugget casinos, and the Landry's restaurant empire, Fertitta has built billions in value through disciplined operations, strategic acquisitions, and a relentless focus on customer experience. In this episode, Travis and Eric break down Fertitta's reported acquisition of Caesars Entertainment and explore the business principles that have fueled his extraordinary success. On this episode we talk about: Tillman Fertitta's reported $17.6 billion acquisition of Caesars Entertainment How Fertitta built a multi-billion-dollar empire without traditional venture capital funding The importance of operational excellence in hospitality and entertainment businesses Why customer experience and financial discipline drive long-term growth The evolution of Las Vegas tourism and the changing economics of the Strip Top 3 Takeaways Great operators win across industries. Fertitta's success demonstrates that strong business fundamentals can be applied from restaurants to sports franchises to casinos. Customer experience matters. Businesses that forget what originally attracted customers risk losing them when prices rise and value declines. Ownership creates opportunity. Building and maintaining control of successful businesses can create the capital needed to pursue increasingly ambitious acquisitions. Notable Quotes "Tillman Fertitta is one of the most impressive business people I've ever talked to." "He understands the principles of operating a good business where the customer gets a good experience and the business makes a good profit." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Everybody says they do "high end." Almost nobody looks the part. In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Logan sits down with Devin Vought of Vought Construction — JobTread's 2025 Builder of the Year and a luxury home builder in the Bay Area whose clients are routinely worth hundreds of millions, sometimes billions. Devin breaks down what branding actually means when your prospects can buy anything they want. It's not the logo or the tagline. It's the client journey he's engineered behind the scenes — the demo-day party, the handmade pastries waiting for a client flying in from London, the white-collar warranty guy he sends over to hang a light fixture months before a contract is ever signed. Logan ties it back to the book Selling the Invisible: in a service business, the brand is the product before you can deliver it, so every touchpoint has to prove you'll handle what the client can't see behind the drywall. They get into uniforms and the "broken windows" theory on job sites, why trash cans everywhere beats nagging your subs, removing decision fatigue for busy clients, the real ROI of a website, and why Devin is now working to make Vought Construction stand on its own — without Devin. If you've ever felt like you're doing great work but can't get clients to pay what it's worth — or you want to move upmarket but don't look like a company that belongs there — this episode shows you the small, accumulating moves that actually raise your average job size.

Remember long, long ago in the old-timey days of politics, way back… maybe 10 years or so?In those olden times, if someone or some corporations gave a million dollars to a political candidate, the donation was scandalous news – a bribe!Ahhh, I miss those innocent days when ethical outrage could erupt over a mere million. These days, a high-dollar campaign would indignantly return such a paltry check to the donor, demanding that a couple of zeroes be added. Welcome to our glorious age of billion-dollar bribery.But a lot of people get lost in the illions, thinking that the “B” number is just an inflated “M.” So perhaps they assume the level of corruption hasn't gotten that much worse. Uh… wrong! To clarify, think of those Ms and Bs not as dollars, but time – specifically seconds on the clock. A million seconds, is 11 days. But a billion seconds? That's 32 years!And that's a whopping difference in political punch. Aside from letting the insanely-rich buy particular government favors, billionaire bribery also allows that exclusive class to prevent policies that people actually want from getting on the public agenda.One glaring example is the overwhelming grassroots demand by bipartisan majorities to STOP! the ever-rising deluge of corrupt political cash that's drowning American democracy. Congress can do this with two basic reforms. But both political parties have their heads stuck in money bags, so there is zero action by our “representatives” to do what America desperately needs.We the People have to be the cattle prod to move the system.

This episode features an interview between host B Rad Celebrity Hairstylist and guest Jonathan Pike, who introduces a specialized hair care line called Bioveta. Pike explains that unlike traditional shampoos that rely on bonding agents or oils to mask damage, his formula uses an acidic pH to physically close the hair cuticle and neutralize chemical residues. The regimen consists of a three-step corrective process—clean, sleek, and cure—designed to manage moisture and restore structural integrity to all hair types. The conversation highlights how this science-based approach eliminates the need for heavy proteins that often lead to product buildup and hair breakage. Beyond hair care, Pike briefly touches upon his background in corrective chemistry and his expansion into hemp-based wellness and equine products. Overall, the source promotes a minimalist, effective system for achieving healthy, manageable hair without the use of artificial coating agents.https://www.HairstylistEmpowermentPodcast.comhttps://www.Bioveta.comBrought to you by https://www.BeautyIndustryCruises.com

WORT 89.9FM Madison · Trump’s Billion-Dollar Slush Fund Could Reappear Brendan Ballou(Photo courtesy Public Integrity Project) On June 1, Politico reported that, according to two anonymous White House sources, President Trump has backed down from a proposed 1.8 billion-dollar so-called “Anti-Weaponization” fund. Later that day, the Justice Department announced that it would abide by a court order halting the project. The fund – dubbed a “slush fund” by critics – would have paid for settlements in federal cases brought by the Justice Department under the Biden Administration.  The proposal drew sharp criticism, including from Republicans in Congress.  Among the potential recipients were people charged under federal law for the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.  Brendan Ballou is the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Integrity Project, which brought a lawsuit against the Trump Administration on behalf of District of Columbia Police Officers Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges.  Brendan Ballou joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on June 8, 2026.

Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb ConnectGuests: Jon Stewart, CEO and Tom Brown, Head of Business Development and Commercial Strategy, Binding SolutionsThe steel industry accounts for roughly 8% of global emissions and has made some of the loudest net zero commitments in heavy industry. But talk to the mills privately and most will tell you they are not on track. The dominant solutions, hydrogen, carbon capture, EAF transition, are either years away, eye-wateringly expensive, or both. Meanwhile, there's a supply chain vulnerability that almost nobody is talking about publicly: pellets. Every major decarb pathway for steel needs them. Producing them at scale costs a billion dollars and most of Europe buys from a handful of suppliers with almost no leverage. Today we're talking to the team at BSL about whether the industry is solving the wrong problems first, and what a lower-cost, modular alternative on something as fundamental as pellets can do for price and targets.Find out why the gap between published net zero roadmaps and what steel mills actually believe is achievable this decade is wider than most people assume. Explore why agglomeration, the pellet-making step, may offer more near-term commercial leverage than hydrogen or CCS, despite attracting a fraction of the policy attention and capital. Learn how a billion-dollar plant cost becomes a structural barrier that shapes who controls the global pellet supply chain, and why European mills are more exposed than they publicly acknowledge. Hear how a technology that works across both blast furnace and DRI pathways makes its case in an industry where most capital decisions are implicitly picking a winner. Find out about Binding Solutions strategic and financial investors as well as their path forward- and where value sits in deep-tech industrial business like this one. Links: ·       Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect·       Connect with Jon Stewart, CEO·       Learn more about Tom Brown, Head of Commercial Strategy·       Check out a video about the team ‘s work with British Steel·       Read a paper by one of BSL's scientists and a British Steel expert  ·        Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

They discuss a raid on a CIA supervisor found with 303 kilos of gold, $20 million in cash, and luxury watches, raising concerns about CIA controls and corruption.

In AI Valley, Gary Rivlin explains how OpenAI transitioned from a $10 million nonprofit endeavor to a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The immense cost of specialized chips and million-dollar salaries for machine learning talent rendered the original nonprofit model unsustainable. Consequently, Altman orchestrated a "for-profit subsidiary" to attract massive capital, notably from Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in 2019 and later an additional $10 billion. Rivlincharacterizes Altman as a charming and brilliant strategist who now prioritizes winning the global AI race over the company's original safety mission. This shift underscores the intense competition to become the next trillion-dollar company in the AI sector. (2/8)1903 SANTA BARBARA

Training a frontier AI model today requires hundreds of thousands of GPUs, months of compute time, and a budget that only a handful of companies on earth can afford. Steffen Cruz, co-founder and CTO of Macrocosmos, thinks that model is about to break, and he's spending his time building what comes next. His project IOTA, operating within the BitTensor blockchain ecosystem, uses distributed training to split large language models across thousands of devices located around the world, coordinated by blockchain, and powered by surplus cheap energy wherever it exists. After nine months of research, the system can reproduce baseline benchmark performance using what Cruz calls "wonky vegetables" - unreliable, churning, globally distributed compute - and turn it into something indistinguishable from centralized training if you use the right approach. The conversation with Craig Smith covers the mechanics of how this actually works, why the blockchain's role is far narrower and more practical than most people assume, and why the Mac mini stockpiling trend creates an unexpected supply of distributed compute that can earn passive income when idle. Cruz's target: a 70 billion parameter model by mid-2025, trained at 10-20% of what it would cost through a hyperscaler, and aimed squarely at the legal firms, hospitals, and cash-strapped startups that have been waiting to train their own sovereign models but couldn't afford the price tag.

She survived childhood trauma. Beat lupus into remission. Brought the world's first cauliflower pizza crust to market when grocery aisles only sold the head. And exited her company at the top 1% of women founders to ever do an 8-figure deal. Amy Lacey didn't just build a business.

Let's talk about Trump's billion dollar ballroom blunder in the Senate....

Today I'm joined by Corina Straub Diehl, CEO and President at Diehl Automotive Group. After the sudden loss of her husband in 2007, Corina ignored advice to sell the business and instead scaled it into a 24-store powerhouse generating over a billion dollars in revenue. This conversation breaks down her "rebel" leadership style, her aggressive 5-year ROI acquisition strategy, and why she views collision centers as the ultimate customer retention tool.

A small town ballerina with no business background, Julia Hartz had no guarantee that Eventbrite would work. What began as a bootstrapped startup she co-founded became a 20-year journey full of challenges, including a crisis like no other: COVID, wiping out the events industry almost overnight. But each challenge sharpened her leadership skills, and Julia ultimately turned  Eventbrite into the powerhouse it is today before exiting on her own terms. In this episode, Julia shares how these moments shaped her leadership and taught her how to build, scale, and evolve a meaningful business, even when it costs you everything. In this episode, Hala and Julia will discuss:  (00:00) Introduction (02:08) Julia's Empathy-Driven Founder Mindset (04:46) Launching a Startup Without a Business Background (14:14) Co-Founding Eventbrite: Spotting the Gap in 2006 (25:23) Leading Through Crisis and Change (35:18) The Return of Live Events (44:04) Building a Company Culture That Evolves (48:24) CEO Mindset and Underrated Leadership Skills (1:04:48) Balancing Family and Entrepreneurship (1:11:02) Leadership Advice in the AI Era  Julia Hartz is the co-founder and former CEO of Eventbrite, one of the world's leading platforms for live events. She co-founded Eventbrite in 2006 with her husband Kevin Hartz and Renaud Visage, later becoming the sole CEO in 2016 and leading the company through its 2018 IPO. Eventbrite entered a new chapter in December 2025 when Bending Spoons announced a $500 million all-cash acquisition, which closed in March 2026, taking Eventbrite private.
