Most electric vehicles spend nearly all of their lives parked, doing nothing. But under the hood of those idle cars, a massive store of energy sits untapped. The Kia EV9, for instance, holds a 100-kilowatt-hour battery—which is equivalent to about seven home backup batteries—just waiting to be utilized. Yet despite this enormous potential, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has remained mostly limited to small-scale pilot programs for decades. But with advanced tech hitting the market, that could soon change. In this episode, Shayle sits down with Steve Letendre, senior advisor at the Vehicle-Grid Integration Council and editor of V2G News, to explore why the V2G revolution is finally moving from concept to reality. They break down the technical battle between AC and DC architectures, tackle the looming questions around battery degradation and warranties, and debate the business models that will finally convince everyday drivers to plug their cars back into the grid. Shayle and Steve discuss topics like: - The unused energy capacity hidden in parked EVs - The technical debate, cost trade-offs, and hardware differences between off-board power conversion (DC architecture) and on-board power conversion (AC architecture). - Current compatible EV options, including the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Kia EV9 - The high upfront cost of V2G systems - Consumers' fears regarding whether discharging power to the grid will ruin their EV batteries or void manufacturer warranties. - Streamlining the V2G enrollment process via VPP programs or at point-of-sale - How financing can unlock mass V2G adoption Resources Catalyst: Repurposing EV batteries for grid storage Catalyst: How China is reshaping the global auto market Catalyst: Enter the electric supercycle Latitude Media: Electric Era is turning its EV-charging tech into a data center power play Latitude Media: The future of optimized EV charging Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Tom ArrixTom Arrix is the founder and CEO of Get Joy, a Connecticut-based pet wellness company building what may be the first truly functional gut-health platform for dogs. Before pivoting to pet nutrition, he spent nearly three decades at the top of media, sports, and advertising — most notably at Facebook, where as VP of Global Marketing Solutions for North America he built and led the company's North American advertising business, growing it from roughly $18 million to over one billion dollars in revenue.Tom's career spans several of the defining media companies of the last 30 years. He began in banking before moving into media, holding senior roles at Turner Broadcasting and serving as SVP of Digital Sales & Marketing at CBS Sports, ahead of his landmark run at Facebook. In 2016 he co-founded Adjacency Partners, a business advisory firm helping early-stage companies scale faster — a bridge that kept him close to founders as he considered his own next chapter.That chapter became deeply personal. After his Golden Retriever, Cooper, was diagnosed with lymphoma, Tom immersed himself in canine nutrition, and the power of whole-food nutrition gave him and Cooper 18 more months together. That experience led him to found Get Joy, built on a gut-health thesis and its BellyBiotics line. Today the company has launched across 477 Sprouts Farmers Market doors nationwide, counts Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner as its wellness ambassador, is trusted by more than 30,000 pet parents, and runs much of its operations — from customer service to marketing analytics — on AI. Largely bootstrapped, Tom's vision is to make Get Joy for dog nutrition what AG1 has become for human health: a daily, foundational product pet parents never question.

New Zealand First wants to spend one billion dollars surveying what lies beneath our oceans to find oil and gas. Is this total madness during a cost-of-living crisis, or is it common sense to audit our resources? Duncan gets the hard answers from Resources Minister Shane Jones on how we fund it and if the big rigs are coming back Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's episode, I sit down with Shane P Mahi, founder and CEO of RevIntel, investor, and host focused on helping businesses grow through AI and revenue strategy. We talk about closing a $900 million deal during my first week at Leigh Steinberg's agency, the lessons that came from losing over $100 million, and why fairness and character matter more than squeezing every dollar out of a negotiation. We also discuss overcoming the fear of saying no, handling criticism without becoming defensive, building purpose into business, articulating value in sales, and the qualities I look for when deciding whether an entrepreneur is worth backing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

New Zealand First wants to spend a billion bucks looking for oil and gas fields to make our country rich again. Well, richer. A bit more like the place our kids go to earn a living, Australia, who've pulled in $430 billion in mining royalties over the past decade alone. A bit more like Norway, where per person GDP is $153,000, one of the highest in the world, ours is only about $85,000. The Norwegians, of course, got a big boost from oil post 1960s and have a $2-trillion wealth fund, which pays for the stuff the Greens and Labour here could only dream of. And herein lies one of two big problems with this country. The first one is not that we don't more children out of poverty or a generous welfare state or universal pensions. The problem is how you pay for them. Debt is a downward spiral but is how we've been operating since 2019. That's the last time the books actually balanced. So, there is logic in dragging oil and gas up out of the ocean to pay stuff, especially as the rest of the world, especially the US, is doing it anyway. Which brings us to the second problem with this issue, and Winston's plans for it, and that's the opposition. What's the point in us spending a billion bucks to look for oil the next government won't let anybody drill for? The only way this makes sense is if you get the big parties to agree with each other, we actually need another feather in our bow, economically speaking. Right now, Andy Burnham is having this very debate with his top advisors, including Mike Munro who worked for Jacinda Ardern. The British press is reporting Burnham is about to announce plans for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Labour banned it. Burnham's a union guy, a worker guy, a more commonsense guy, so they say, and therefore he is about to turn the black tap on again. Chris Hipkins is not that guy for the New Zealand Labour party. And until the Opposition puts down its giant no sign, then spending a billion bucks looking for oil is throwing money down the dunny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The salient point of our discourse today revolves around the significant developments in federal enforcement concerning trade fraud within the furniture industry, a matter that warrants the utmost attention from all stakeholders engaged in import activities. The establishment of a dedicated enforcement section by the Department of Justice, aimed at investigating and prosecuting customs violations, signifies a marked shift in governmental approach; violations that were once deemed mere administrative oversights are now being treated with the gravity of criminal charges. As we delve deeper into this topic, we will also explore the burgeoning optimism among design professionals, indicated by a notable increase in project inquiries and committed work, juxtaposed against the backdrop of stagnating furniture sales and shifting consumer behaviors. Furthermore, we shall examine the implications of current freight rates and geopolitical tensions on supply chains, as well as the evolving expectations of the Gen Z consumer, who is reshaping the retail landscape with their discerning preferences. This episode promises to provide a comprehensive analysis of these pressing issues, equipping our listeners with the critical insights necessary to navigate the complexities of the current market environment.Takeaways:The federal government's newly established enforcement section signifies a substantial shift in how trade fraud is prosecuted, prioritizing intentional violations over mere administrative penalties.Design professionals are entering the third quarter with newfound optimism, as evidenced by significant increases in project inquiries and overall anticipated business activity within the sector.Despite a stabilization in furniture sales after months of decline, a marked contrast exists between broader retail performance and the continued hesitance of consumers to invest in large home goods purchases at this time.The evolving expectations of the Gen Z consumer indicate a decisive demand for not only value but also for seamless, efficient shopping experiences that align with their values and lifestyle preferences.With the ongoing enforcement push against trade violations, it becomes imperative for furniture companies to ensure rigorous compliance and transparency within their supply chains to avoid repercussions.The current landscape of furniture retail necessitates a strategic reevaluation of showroom spaces, transforming them from mere distribution points into engaging environments that resonate with consumers and foster brand loyalty.

In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with Lucas Ngoo, CEO of Cortex AI and co-founder of Carousell, the Southeast Asian marketplace that grew to a $1 billion valuation. Lucas explains why the next major leap in AI may not just be chatbots or software, but general-purpose robotics. While robot hardware is getting cheaper and more powerful, Lucas argues that the biggest bottleneck is still data: the real-world human and robot data needed to train machines to operate safely, precisely, and intelligently in everyday environments. Jess and Lucas dive into how Cortex AI is building the data infrastructure for robot brains, collecting human task data from industries like factories, retail, restaurants, hotels, and other real-world environments. They also explore why robots may follow a path similar to Waymo, starting with human supervision and gradually improving until autonomy becomes invisible and widespread. Lucas also shares the lessons he learned from building Carousell from three founders out of school into a billion-dollar company, including how to hire during rapid growth, survive startup chaos, raise capital, choose the right investors, and recognize technologies that are just becoming possible. This is a forward-looking conversation about robotics, AI, entrepreneurship, Silicon Valley ambition, and what it really takes to build the future before the rest of the world sees it coming.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcOne of my direct mentors was Larry Hite, the first billion-dollar hedge fund manager… and today, I'm breaking down one of the most powerful options lessons he ever taught me.In this deep dive, we explain how rolling deep-in-the-money options can create futures-like leverage on individual stocks, while keeping risk controlled through position sizing, ATR, and strict exit rules. This is the same core idea behind using options for capital efficiency: control more stock exposure without tying up your entire portfolio.We walk through exactly how rolling works using real trades in Apple, Everpure, Okta, and Zscaler. Instead of selling winners too early or shrinking position size as a trade works, rolling lets you take partial profits, free up capital, reduce risk, and keep the trade alive at full size.That's the ninja hack.We compare what would have happened if the original options were never rolled versus what actually happened after rolling. The result? Similar or better profits in several cases, but with significantly less risk still left on the table.✅ Larry Hite's deep-in-the-money options lesson✅ Why rolling options can reduce risk without cutting position size✅ ATR position sizing and consistent dollar risk per trade✅ Apple, P, OKTA, and ZS roll examples✅ Bank and Ride, roll credits, extrinsic value, delta, and spreads✅ Sector Intelligence Map and VEEE's explosive moveIf you've ever wondered how professional traders stay in big winners without panicking out too early, this episode shows the math, mechanics, and psychology behind it.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

These sources analyze the escalating financial and technical requirements involved in developing cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Research from Epoch AI indicates that frontier model training costs are surging by up to three times annually, with projections suggesting individual runs could exceed one billion dollars by 2027. This economic pressure is driving a strategic shift toward post-training enhancements and algorithmic efficiency, as seen with GPT-5 utilizing less compute than its predecessor to achieve superior results. Simultaneously, hardware advancements like NVIDIA's B200 GPUs are becoming essential; despite higher hourly rates, their increased memory capacity significantly reduces the total cost and time required for large-scale workloads. Ultimately, the data suggests that while innovation in reasoning techniques can temporarily offset expenses, the long-term trend points toward a return to massive infrastructure investment. Consequently, the future of AI development appears increasingly restricted to the world's most well-funded organizations.

A billion-dollar lawsuit over a failed satellite city northeast of Las Vegas, which is led by a Lombardo campaign advisor, is headed to trial, and if developers win, it could fundamentally change the way the state regulates water rights. Then, a data center developer near Boulder City found a way around the city's public approval process by pivoting to federal land, which could open the door for more data center projects to follow suit. Plus, driverless cars are getting closer to Las Vegas streets as Waymo announces fully autonomous testing in the valley. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with reporters Tabitha Mueller of the Nevada Independent and Michael "MJ" Lyle of the Nevada Current. And in a members-only bonus segment, Gov. Joe Lombardo has outspent his opponent, Attorney General Aaron Ford 174 to 1 on campaign ads in a race everyone says is a toss-up. So what impact will that actually have on the governor's race?

If you've ever felt stuck in your business, overwhelmed by the next level, or unsure how to move from passionate founder to powerful CEO, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, Cait sits down with Suneera Madhani, unicorn founder, investor, serial entrepreneur, mom of two, and one of only 27 women in the United States to build and scale a company to an exit north of $1 billion. Suneera previously founded Stax Payments, where she raised over $500 million in venture capital, scaled the company to more than $160 million in recurring revenue, built a team of over 400 employees, and became the first female founder to lead a fintech unicorn out of Florida. Now, as the founder of Worth AI and CEO School, Suneera is on a mission to help more women build real wealth, scale sustainable companies, and step fully into CEO leadership. In this conversation, Suneera shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building a billion-dollar company while raising babies, the identity shift required to move from founder mode to CEO mode, and why so many women are unintentionally solving the symptoms of burnout instead of addressing the business problems underneath. Tune in to hear: How Suneera founded Staxx Payments at 26 years old with no tech background What it looked like to raise venture capital while pregnant The difference between founder mode and CEO mode Why founder energy can get you started but may not get you to scale The six pillars Suneera teaches women to use when scaling their businesses Why women need to understand their numbers, revenue, team, and operations How revenue can solve many of the problems that keep founders in burnout Why women are often investing in the wrong things inside their businesses The tough-love truth about waiting for someone else to save your business How Suneera thinks about AI as a founder, investor, and fintech CEO Why every business owner needs to become fluent in AI instead of outsourcing all understanding The first AI agent Suneera built for herself and how she uses it as a CEO How to begin using AI in a way that actually saves time and supports scale Why women building wealth is not selfish, but necessary Connect with Suneera: Instagram CEO School CEO School Podcast Worth AI If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.

Minnesota State Representative Kristin Robbins, Chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, joins for a no-BS deep dive into the state's exploding welfare fraud crisis. She breaks down how the same networks kept reappearing, why the system failed to stop it, and what her committee has uncovered through whistleblowers and public records. The conversation also covers Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's role in sponsoring the federal MEALS Act, which relaxed key oversight rules for meal providers and helped create the conditions for the Feeding Our Future scheme to explode. Robbins details the committee's repeated attempts to get Omar to testify or turn over records of communications with individuals later tied to the fraud (many of which appeared in federal trial exhibits), and why those requests have gone unanswered. Plus: the latest on daycare fraud with over 400 open investigations into publicly funded providers and the long-overdue rollout of electronic attendance tracking. For years, only a tiny fraction (around 10% in the initial phase) of providers were using real-time online records, making it ridiculously easy to bill for kids who were never there.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the August 4th primary bearing down, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to make his case directly to voters. Kehoe blasts the flood of out-of-state liberal money pouring into Missouri to defeat Amendment 4, calling it a fight to keep the state constitution from being bought by coastal special interests, while touting overwhelming grassroots support from Missouri agriculture. He makes an equally passionate pitch for Amendment 5, framing the elimination of Missouri's income tax as the key to reversing population loss and competing with no-tax states like Texas and Tennessee. Kehoe also addresses a listener-driven question on Senate Bill 1002 moving St. Charles County school board elections to November, defends his administration's guardrails on data center growth, and stands firmly behind his budget cuts — insisting Missouri has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It's a wide-ranging, must-listen conversation for anyone voting this August, delivered with the conservative, common-sense clarity the Marc Cox Morning Show audience trusts. Coming up: Derek Morgan of Heritage joins later this hour, plus Jimmy Phelan.

Are you actually creating opportunity, or are you waiting for someone to hand it to you? A lot of people talk about being entrepreneurs, but very few are willing to do the unsexy part: get on the plane, sit in the waiting room, build the relationship, ask the better question, and stay in the deal long enough to find the angle everyone else missed. Richard Baker built his career by doing exactly that. He did not rely on perfect timing, endless capital, or permission from people at the top. He used structure, relationships, leverage, and speed to turn overlooked opportunities into billion-dollar deals. This matters because the future of work is changing fast. AI is reshaping business, companies are cutting jobs, and more people are going to have to learn how to create value on their own. Richard's philosophy is simple: stop chasing safety, start thinking like an owner, and learn how to manufacture your own luck. The people who win are the ones who know where the ball is going before everyone else starts running after it. Richard Baker is a real estate entrepreneur, dealmaker, founder of Baker House 1921, and longtime educator through Cornell's Baker Program in Real Estate. He has built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country, developed 50 Walmart-anchored shopping centers, bought iconic retail brands including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson's Bay, and Neiman Marcus, and structured some of the most fascinating retail and real estate deals of the last two decades. In this episode, he breaks down negotiation, risk, AI, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and why the biggest opportunities often come from seeing what everyone else is too busy to notice. What's Discussed: (01:27) How Richard Baker built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country. (07:37) The family philosophy that taught him how to make money with no money. (11:13) What intellectual leverage means and why he uses brains, relationships, and structure instead of cash. (12:15) Why real opportunity comes from getting off your ass and showing up in person. (19:23) How the power of yes helped him buy Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion. (23:34) Why big companies miss details and how that creates openings for entrepreneurs. (29:21) Why speed, risk tolerance, and fast decision-making matter in business. (39:17) How he turned the Zellers deal into a bidding war between Walmart and Target. (52:40) The difference between a zoo bear and a jungle bear in entrepreneurship. (01:02:39) Why luck is something you manufacture through preparation, strategy, and timing. (01:07:21) How Richard uses AI every morning to think, plan, and increase productivity. (01:31:38) Why courage, pulling the trigger, and structuring risk are essential for entrepreneurs.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

My guest today is Jeremy Giffon.  Jeremy has been on the show before as one of our most popular guests, and this conversation is every bit as enjoyable as the first. Over the last 18 months, Jeremy has had hundreds of conversations with founders and with the capital behind their companies. I don't know many investors with such a high rep count in the most interesting corners of private markets, so I asked him what he has learned. We talk about what those lessons mean for founders and investors, why everyone has become subservient to the poster class, the hidden intellectual history behind Silicon Valley and much more.

What does it take to go from sleeping on the streets to building billion-dollar businesses and earning a knighthood for changing lives?On this episode of Stories Worth Hearing, host Jonathan Quick sits down with Sir Marco Robinson to explore one of the most extraordinary entrepreneurial journeys you'll ever hear.Growing up homeless, Marco refused to let his circumstances define his future. By his twenties, he had been recruited to lead a struggling public company, helping transform it into a $1 billion enterprise in just three years. From there, he built multiple multi-million-dollar companies, became an eight-time #1 bestselling author, created and starred in the hit Channel 4 television series Get a House for Free, invested in and helped produce the Netflix hit Legacy of Lies, and built a real estate portfolio of more than 100 investment properties.But Marco believes his greatest achievement isn't measured in dollars. His humanitarian work helping change the law in Malaysia so guide dogs could accompany blind citizens into public places earned him the honorary title of Dato' Seri, the equivalent of a knighthood, impacting more than 350,000 people.In this conversation, we discuss entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership, overcoming adversity, building companies, investing, television, philanthropy, and why your past never has to determine your future.If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, investor, or someone looking for inspiration to overcome life's biggest challenges, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Learn more about Sir Marco Robinson:https://marcorobinson.comHosted by Jonathan Quick, Stories Worth Hearing shares powerful conversations with entrepreneurs, innovators, and remarkable people whose journeys prove that ordinary beginnings can lead to extraordinary lives.

In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with James Henderson, CEO of Exclusive Resorts and The Exclusive Collective, for a fascinating conversation on the future of luxury travel, community, and what it really means to live well. James shares how Exclusive Resorts evolved from a destination club into a luxury lifestyle platform with more than $1 billion in real estate, hundreds of residences, once-in-a-lifetime trips, and a growing family of brands designed to serve affluent travelers in different ways. From private homes and curated villas to Formula One, the Kentucky Derby, Antarctica, around-the-world jet trips, and exclusive member experiences, James explains why today's most successful people are increasingly choosing memories, relationships, and seamless service over material status. Jess and James also explore the rise of the experience economy, the power of community among high-net-worth families, and why the best luxury experiences are often defined by what you do not have to think about. James breaks down how his team uses personalization, human touch, brand architecture, and operational discipline to create travel that feels effortless while still deeply personal. This conversation is about more than luxury vacations. It is about time, connection, family, leadership, and building a business around the idea that people may be able to make more money, but they cannot make more time. Learn more about your ad choices.

Along the way, he invested early in Facebook, launched one of the first social networks, and learned more from his failures than his wins.

Tuesday June 30, 2026 Trump Cut a Billion-Dollar Mining Deal. His Sons Stand to Profit

John and Randy break down the budget with the help of KCRA's Ashley ZavalaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailA $1B to $2B video game budget sounds unreal until you think about what modern gaming has become, and we start right there with Grand Theft Auto 6 hype, pricing, and the slippery slope of deluxe editions. We talk pre-orders, the expectation that games cost $100 now, and how microtransactions and paid add-ons can turn a one-time purchase into a long-term spend. Then we go deeper into the creator economy side of gaming, where mods and subscription worlds show how players can build whole cities inside a title and get paid like it's a real business. Next we swing into soccer and the World Cup 2026 conversation, because once the matches are in your backyard, it's hard not to watch. We compare the vibe of NFL stadiums versus college atmospheres, debate global icons like Messi and Ronaldo, and break down the stuff that confuses casual fans, including flopping, stoppage time, and those mid-game hydration breaks when the heat is brutal. It's sports talk with curiosity, not gatekeeping, and it explains why so many people suddenly care every four years. The back half turns into real-life debates: what's your “bougie” habit, what do you always spend on, and why do certain brands feel like identity instead of just clothing? We go at it over brand loyalty, especially Nike, and whether anybody should stay loyal to companies that don't pay them. Then we get honest about relationship boundaries, pillow talk, bringing partners around the friend group, matchmaking drama, and the risky advice hidden inside the phrase “lower your standards, raise your quality of life.” If you like funny arguments with real points underneath, this one delivers.
