What if the biggest opportunity in music monetization isn't streaming, social media, or live concerts? It's the $300 billion pro AV industry, and most musicians and music tech innovators have never thought about it. This week on the podcast, Graeme Harrison, vice president and general manager of Bluesound Professional, joins Dmitri to break down how commercial audio is reshaping the way brands use music in physical spaces. From 15,000 7-Eleven stores to NFL stadiums to the US Senate, Graeme's work sits at the intersection of music, technology, and brand experience in ways the music industry rarely talks about. In this episode, Graeme and Dmitri dig into why congruent audio and visual together are 1,200% more effective than either one alone, how commercial music licensing pays artists significantly more than residential streaming, and why the rise of AI-generated music in public spaces could trigger a second era of elevator music that cuts artists out of the equation entirely. They also get into the growing world of biophilic soundscaping, adaptive AI playlist curation, and what it means for a brand like 7-Eleven to use music not as background noise but as a core part of its identity. If you work in music tech, artist services, or brand strategy, this episode reframes where the money is and where it's headed.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with actress, director, and Cosmic Film Co founder Amanda Fallon Smith — a former Miss Pennsylvania who told her entire family not to show up when she competed, then won with no one in the crowd, and later accidentally became a vertical film director when her hired director dropped out last minute on her very first project. Amanda breaks down the $27 billion vertical film industry, what it really takes to run a 7-day film bootcamp, why film acting is technically harder than theater, and how Bob Krakauer's class changed everything about how she directs on Get Scene Unscripted with Jesse Malinowski.Join Our Newsletter:https://getscenestudios.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=7660af20fdb3c04d6b6516591&id=eecb804958Join out Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/cw/GetScenePod

Molly Sims spent nearly six years modeling in Europe, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, and starred in Las Vegas and The Carrie Diaries—then quietly spent three years and over $2 million of her own money developing a skincare brand nobody asked for. When she launched YSE Beauty on April 24, 2023, she had no idea if it would work. It did. The brand hit close to $30 million in revenue, is growing nearly 100% year-on-year, landed an exclusive partnership with Sephora, and closed a $15 million Series A with Silas Capital—all in under three years. In this interview, Molly breaks down why she launched DTC before she was ready, how she turned her podcast into a brand-building machine two years before she had a product to sell, and the hard-won lessons on ops, retail margins, and building a team that can survive when things go wrong. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why Molly self-funded over $2 million of her own money into product development—and the Christmas moment she nearly didn't • How three years of testing 100+ formulas to solve her own melasma led to genuine product-market fit in a crowded category • Why she launched DTC-first and treated social media as her brick-and-mortar before ever approaching a retailer • How starting her podcast Lipstick on the Rim two years before launch built the community and credibility that made YSE possible • The ops reality nobody tells you: being sold out on five products isn't a good problem—it's a sign of broken demand planning • Why she sold the Home Edit show to Netflix in 2015—and how producing taught her to spot talent and build content that converts • The exact mindset she brings to Sephora: be raggedy, negotiate your margins, and never just take what the retailer gives you • How she chose Silas Capital over larger funds—and why alignment on the customer is more important than the size of the check • Why the third year of a brand is "disciplined growth"—and how she's shifting from whack-a-mole survival mode to a three-year roadmap • The hiring mistake most fast-growth founders make: assuming who got you here will get you there If you're building a DTC beauty or lifestyle brand, trying to navigate the leap from direct-to-consumer into retail, or looking for the no-BS truth about what founder-led growth actually looks like in year one, two, and three, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about product, community, and when to jump off the cliff.

West Bengal and Tamil Nadu declared their results yesterday. BJP swept Bengal after fifteen years of TMC rule. In Tamil Nadu, Vijay's TVK won, upending the DMK return almost everyone had predicted, including the platforms that had money on it.Prediction markets are now a $150 billion industry. And they were taking live bets on India's assembly elections, on a platform India officially banned last year. In a recent edition of The Ken's Make In India Competitive Again, Seema Singh wrote about an interesting research paper. While most assume the trading volumes were not high enough for concern, this peer-reviewed paper in Science says otherwise. In fact, this it says, it matters even when the volumes are thin, or maybe especially then. So what is India's ban actually achieving?Tune in.Also listen to: India banned online betting. Polymarket is wagering on our elections anyway.
What really happens inside the world's most dangerous underground economies? And why do the people running them trust a journalist enough to talk? Mariana van Zeller — Emmy- and Peabody Award–winning investigative journalist, host and executive producer of Trafficked on National Geographic, and host of The Hidden Third podcast — has spent years embedded with scammers, smugglers, cartel members, assassins, and black-market power brokers. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she pulls back the curtain on the shadow systems that quietly shape the global economy. Mariana breaks down the difference between the black market vs. the grey market, why understanding these hidden economies is the only way to create real change, and how she manages to gain access to some of the most secretive and dangerous players in the world. She explains how empathy, not judgment, is often the key to getting people labeled “the worst of the worst” to open up, and why many of them speak with her because of something surprisingly simple: a deep human need to be heard and understood. She also addresses critics who say she shouldn't give criminals a platform, revealing why listening to these voices is essential to exposing the systems behind global crime. We dive into her most harrowing experiences in the field — including the terrifying moment she and her team weren't sure they would make it out alive, and the time they had to escape a country in the middle of a life-threatening military coup while filming. Mariana also unpacks the current climate in Mexico's drug war, explaining why violence often escalates when major cartel kingpins are taken down, and the troubling implications of the fact that many of the weapons used by cartels originate in the United States. We get into one of the fastest-growing criminal industries in the world: scams. She breaks down everything you've ever wanted to know about romance scams and “pig butchering” operations, including: - Psychological tactics scammers use - Who scammers typically target and why - Massive infrastructure behind modern scam compounds - Why many scammers are actually victims of forced labor themselves - Why victims often stay silent due to shame and stigma Mariana explains why advancing technology, crypto, and AI are making financial scams easier than ever, and why anyone can fall victim — no matter how smart or cautious they are, including the shocking case of a bank CEO who was successfully defrauded. We also explore medical black markets, from organ trafficking to international surrogacy scams, and discuss some of her most intense interviews, from conversations with a suspected Russian sex spy to Anna Delvey, the infamous socialite scammer. Despite spending her career face-to-face with some of the darkest corners of humanity, Mariana reveals something surprising: she still believes deeply in people. In fact, she sometimes finds more hope, honesty, and equality in underground markets than in global governments or legal capitalism. This conversation will change how you think about crime, power, empathy, and the hidden systems shaping our world!

Hydraulics — the technology that powers excavators, military vehicles, oil rigs, and factory floors — have been around since the 1800s. They work by pressurizing fluid to create force. They're powerful. They're proven. And according to Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics, they've hit their ceiling. Hiten joined the Snowpal Podcast to talk about what his company is building, what he's learned from shipping over 9 million units at iRobot, and why he raised $5.7 million from the crowd instead of from VCs. It's a conversation worth your full attention.

After the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner — allegedly at the hands of their son Nick — one question haunts every family dealing with addiction: why hasn't treatment gotten better? Fifty years of data showing 40-90% failure rates. An overdose crisis killing over 100,000 Americans annually. And yet the fundamental approach hasn't changed since insurance companies designed the 28-day model in the 1970s. On True Crime Today, we're following the money to find out why.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott returns for Part 2 of our examination of America's broken treatment system. The industry is worth $42 billion. Every relapse is another admission, another billing cycle. Facilities get paid whether treatment works or not. There's no standardized outcome tracking, no required reporting of success rates, no transparency for families trying to make informed decisions. Insurance companies control treatment length through utilization review, overriding clinical judgment to prioritize cost containment.We examine who blocks reform — treatment industry lobbyists, insurance companies, pharmaceutical interests. The research showing what works exists and has for years: longer treatment, integrated mental health care, medication-assisted treatment. So what prevents evidence-based care from becoming standard? Is this regulatory capture, with the industry shaping rules to protect itself? Or is the system simply too entrenched to change?

Send us a textChild sponsorship seems like the perfect way to help vulnerable children abroad – for just $30 a month, you get photos, letters, and the satisfaction of changing a child's life. But what if this model is causing unexpected problems?In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the $3.29 billion child sponsorship industry with Dr. Hunter Farrell, author of "Congregational Mission." Having operated our own sponsorship program for years, we explore why global child welfare experts are increasingly critical of this popular fundraising approach.Dr. Farrell explains how sponsorship programs often create an "illusion of relationship" that can undermine family structures and elevate Western donors to an almost divine status. We discuss the uncomfortable realization that for all our good intentions, we may be perpetuating harmful power dynamics. As one Peruvian mother pointedly asked: "How would it feel to you if a foreigner was writing your 11-year-old daughter every month?"The conversation isn't about condemning those who sponsor children – it's about recognizing sponsorship as a starting point that can evolve into more equitable partnerships. We explore three practical alternatives that address root causes rather than symptoms: supporting community-based programs, pairing international giving with local engagement, and persistently asking "why" about the underlying causes of vulnerability.Whether you're currently sponsoring a child, considering it, or working in global development, this conversation challenges us to apply the golden rule to our international relationships and reimagine how we can truly support vulnerable children worldwide. Join us for this essential discussion about privilege, power, and the path toward more effective global partnerships.___________________________Maternal Health impacts child and family wellbeing, and is an indicator of societal wellbeing as well.

Laura Modi is the co-founder and CEO of Bobbie, the first woman-owned organic infant formula brand in the U.S.Before starting Bobbie, Laura spent over a decade at Google and Airbnb, earning a reputation for taking risks and thinking big. Growing up in Ireland, entrepreneurship surrounded her, but becoming a mom sparked her passion. Struggling to find a formula she trusted for her daughter, Laura saw a gap in the U.S. market.

Headlines: Kyrgios hints at retirement, Federal MP calls for mandatory sentences for antisemitic vandals, JD Vance walks back Trump’s promise to pardon Jan 6 rioters and Climate activists vandalise Charles Darwin’s grave. Deep Dive: How do you know if you’re really buying an organic product? Insiders have accused producers of falsely labelling products, prompting a new bill that was introduced by the Coalition last year - a big deal for an industry worth $2.3 billion in Australia. How can we really know the journey a product is taking before it arrives on the shelf at the supermarket? If the labelling isn’t accurate, should we just give up on buying organic all together? In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Erin Turner, chief executive of the Consumer Policy Research Centre, to explain how the government can better regulate the sector and how it could change what’s on our shelves. In a statement, Peak industry body, Australian Organic Limited told The Briefing: "Australian Organic Limited welcomes the new bill as a way to ensure the word ‘organic’ can only be displayed on products sold by the thousands of certified organic operators who adhere to a strict set of principles and pass regular auditing checks to display a certification mark on their labels."

Every entrepreneur dreams of disrupting an industry, but few have done it as boldly as today's guest. In this episode, we dive into the story of a visionary who took on billion-dollar skincare giants like L'Oréal and Nivea—without any prior industry experience—and became the #1 men's skincare brand in France. He rejected conventional practices, bypassed traditional retail, and found success by challenging the status quo in one of the most established markets imaginable. What makes this conversation even more fascinating is how our guest spotted what the beauty behemoths overlooked: their greatest strengths had turned into their biggest weaknesses. Their size, reliance on traditional retail, and outdated strategies blinded them to how men actually want to shop for skincare products. Our guest's innovative approach disrupted the industry and proved that sometimes, the most obvious opportunities are the ones industry leaders are too entrenched to see. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking to identify a market gap or someone ready to challenge industry giants, this episode is packed with insights on how to seize opportunities hiding in plain sight. Tune in to discover the strategies behind this ground-breaking success and learn how to apply them to your own business journey. ______________________________________ Sign up to Wise Business banking: https://wise.com/gb/business/?utm_sou...

Today we have an incredibly timely and educational show lined up for you with Kathy Stokes, the director of fraud prevention programs at AARP. Our conversation unfolds with a personal touch as I share a recent experience where my digital wallet was hacked. Kathy offers a powerhouse of insights, stressing the importance of reporting such incidents to potentially recover stolen funds through blockchain tracing and tying together cases against transnational criminal enterprises. We talk about the emotional impact of being scammed, the technical sophistication of these fraudulent scripts, and the general population's lack of confidence in law enforcement's current ability to tackle these evolving crimes. She emphasizes on the necessity of better training in organizations to combat phishing and social engineering, laying out the three key factors scammers exploit: unexpected communication, emotional manipulation, and urgency. Kathy isn't shy about diving into how transnational criminal enterprises might be behind this massive-scale fraud, revealing her passion for social change sparked by a shift from educating workers on retirement benefits to fraud prevention for retirees. Tune in as we navigate the real implications of falling prey to scams and why awareness is the best defense. In this episode, we'll cover: -The rise in reported losses due to fraud, especially during the pandemic -The necessity of educating young adults, parents, and retirees on fraud prevention -The association of large-scale fraud with transnational criminal enterprises -The role of emotional manipulation in successful fraud schemes -The psychological tactics exploited by scammers -Impact of fraud on mental health and the extreme distress leading to suicide -AARP's commitment to providing support for victims of fraud and financial crimes SHOW NOTES: https://insidethelionsdenpodcast.com/podcast/episode84 CONNECT WITH ARYEH: Apply to Work with Me Instagram: @aryehthebusinessman Future Fund | The guilt-free flexible plan to build financial wealth + freedom Join me inside: Solution Advisory: Investment for Wealth Coaching Program

How much money does the music industry really make on an annual basis? The answer is not as straightforward as you think. Most of the outlets that publish figures only report on one side of the business. But since 2014, former Spotify chief economist and author Will Page has made it his job to answer this question in his annual report on global music copyright. This year the global value is at $41.5 billion.In this episode, I'm joined by Will and friend of the show, Tati Cirisano from MIDiA Research.

If you run any sufficiently large organization, one of the biggest threats to your business is runaway costs. The largest companies can use upwards of thousands of suppliers for everything ranging from software technology to building materials, and how much you spend on all these suppliers can be the determining factor over whether you're profitable or unprofitable. That's why most large businesses employ procurement specialists – people whose job it is to oversee and negotiate services with outside companies. It's not the sexiest job in the world, but it's incredibly important, and it's the reason why the procurement services industry is worth $6 billion. Philip Ideson runs a media company that covers this massive industry. After spending 15 years as a procurement specialist himself, he launched The Art of Procurement, a news and information resource that caters to procurement specialists. Over the past seven years, he's built it into a business that's monetized through live events, sponsorships, and consulting. In our interview, he talked about his motivation to launch the company, how he built his audience, and why he struggled so long to find a viable business model.
Scott Knapp, chief market strategist at TruStage, says that while there has been rolling softness in the economy, he believes the Federal Reserve sees inflation as being worse than unemployment, which makes the central bank so determined to curb inflation that it hikes rates and/or delays rate cuts until the jobless rate rises enough to trigger a recession. And while Knapp acknowledges that the Fed could thread the needle perfectly, he notes that he doesn't think a soft landing is the probable outcome. Also on the show, Kyle Guske of New Constructs puts a mutual fund in the Danger Zone for performance that he says has been much less than management's investment style should have produced, Olivia Newport covers a Choice Mutual survey showing that inflation has impacted Americans' funeral preferences, and author Michael Thomsen discusses his latest book, 'Cage Kings: How an Unlikely Group of Moguls, Champions, and Hustlers Transformed the UFC into a $10 Billion Industry.'

Cage Kings: How an Unlikely Group of Moguls, Champions & Hustlers Transformed the UFC into a $10 Billion Industry by Michael Thomsen https://amzn.to/3NGBV0d A cultural and business history of the UFC, tracing the unlikely rise of mixed martial arts from what was derided in the ‘90s as “human cockfighting”—more violence than sport—to a global pop culture phenomenon. Senator John McCain once decried mixed martial arts as “human cockfighting,” while the New York Times despaired that the sport offered a “pay-per-view prism” onto the decline of western civilization. But the violent spectacle of cage fighting no longer feels nearly as scandalous as it did when the sport debuted in 1993. Today, it's spoken of reverentially as a kind of “human chess” played out in real-time between two bodies and the UFC is one of the most valuable franchises in the world, worth more than any team in the NFL, NBA, or MLB and equal to what Disney paid to acquire Marvel Comics. Once banned in thirty-six states and hovering on the edge of bankruptcy, the UFC has evolved into a $10 billion industry. How did cage fighting go so mainstream? A rollicking behind-the-scenes account of one of the most spectacular upsets in American sports history, Cage Kings follows the desperate fighters, audacious promoters, fanboy bloggers, fatherly trainers, philosophical announcers, hustling sponsors, and three improbable twentysomething corporate titans on a darkly comic odyssey to normalize a new level of brutality in American pop culture—and make a fortune doing so. Stylishly written and poignantly observed, the book offers a provocative look at how the hollowing out of the American dream over the past three decades and the violence endemic to modern capitalism left us ready to embrace a sport like cage fighting.
