Kenneth Legesi says we're sitting on oil we discovered in 1920. We have 70% arable land. A young, educated population. Natural resources everywhere. But our budget is SHRINKING, donor support is drying up, and government is borrowing at 17%.Why?He breaks down the uncomfortable truth that The capital is within. We're just too afraid to use it.If you've ever felt like you're working hard but getting nowhere... if you've compared your 1M salary to someone else's 8M and felt sick... if you're tired of hearing about Uganda's "potential" without seeing real change... this conversation is for you.

This week's episode comes to you from a very snowy New York, where Sarah and Helen are launching the US edition of Learn Like a Lobster - in the middle of the biggest blizzard in ten years. Despite battling icy steps and snowy conditions, they're diving into a topic that could transform how you approach ideas at work: prototyping.Borrowing brilliance from Nesta, Sarah and Helen explore a practical 4-part framework to help you move from “this might be a good idea” to something tangible, testable and useful.Episode 541

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.   Last week, we talked about how your feelings can lie to you. And so many of you asked, "Okay… but then what's real?" If you've ever spiraled because you're "definitely getting fired," your manager "clearly hates you," or the "economy is ruining everything," this episode is for you.  Today I'm giving you a simple, three-second mental filter that will immediately neutralize emotional chaos and give you your power back. You'll learn how to separate facts from fiction, so you can stop reacting and start choosing how you show up.  

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains one of the most emotionally complex and ethically challenging events in pre-hospital care. Families can transition from normality to devastating loss within minutes, while clinicians must make rapid, high-stakes decisions that often leave a lasting emotional impact. Traditionally, EMS practice has centred on the moment of “termination of resuscitation”, a clinical decision that often results in abrupt death notifications and limited family involvement. But a growing body of work challenges this model, suggesting that it may unintentionally amplify trauma for both families and providers.In today's episode, we're joined by Dr Darren Braude, Paramedic, Director of the Centre for Prehospital Resuscitation and ECMO, Chief of the Division of Prehospital, Austere and Disaster Medicine. Dr Braude is one of the leading voices behind a powerful reframing: viewing the end of resuscitative efforts not as termination, but as the withdrawal of life support.Borrowing principles from ICU end-of-life care, this approach centres families, promotes clearer communication, and acknowledges that CPR and ventilation are themselves forms of life support. Today, we explore how this model can transform the way EMS navigates death, grief, and humanity in the field.

"This isn't a war! It was a preemptive strike!" That's the ludicrous and false narrative the Trump administration and the GOP have been touting since the US and Israel launched their illegal attack on Iran less than a week ago. But in his latest monologue, Mehdi brings the receipts to show how we've heard this story before – just look at Putin's war in Ukraine. The parallels, he says, are as clear as they are eery - but also conveniently ignored by the mainstream media in the United States.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:What if the smartest move isn't building the strongest shield, but flooding the sky with cheap spears? We unpack the rise of LUCAS, a $35,000 one-way attack drone that turns the cost math of modern warfare on its head and forces a rethink of deterrence, doctrine, and industry. By studying adversary tactics and embracing “good enough,” we show how the United States pivoted from slow, exquisite programs to rapid, scalable production—and why mass is becoming a weapon in its own right.We walk through LUCAS's core pillars—long range, autonomy, and flexible launch—and explain how a simple, loud airframe becomes a precision tool when paired with onboard processing and mesh networking. From truck rails to Navy decks, we explore how any flat surface can become a launchpad for stand-in strikes, SEAD, and decoy operations. The turning point arrives at sea: a shipboard launch that signals a doctrinal shift, letting small combatants project long-range power without risking pilots or million-dollar missiles.Behind the scenes, the real transformation is industrial. Borrowing from the Liberty Ship and Sherman tank playbooks, production spreads across many vendors to build resilience and speed. We dig into how procurement hacks cut timelines to months, how swarms saturate and exhaust defenses, and how cost-exchange dominance opens the door for high-end jets to strike clean. We also face the hard questions: command-and-control of autonomous swarms, deconfliction in crowded skies, rules of engagement, and the coming race in lasers and electronic warfare that aims to counter drones for pennies on the dollar.The takeaway is a blended future: exquisite aircraft where they matter, attritable mass where it counts, and an industrial base that acts like a weapon system.

Owning a home is supposed to bring stability, but for many Canadian households, the numbers are getting harder to manage. Mortgage renewals at higher rates, unexpected repairs, and rising day-to-day costs can quietly shift a manageable situation into one that no longer works. This conversation explores the early warning signs that homeownership may be becoming unsustainable, including relying on credit to cover housing costs or delaying necessary maintenance. It also looks at practical options homeowners can consider before things become urgent, and why acting early can help preserve both financial control and home equity.

What emerges is a masterclass in identifying the subtle linguistic tricks that maintain public misunderstanding about how government finance actually works. The conversation begins with Christian's astute observation about the phrase 'the government *can* create money' - a seemingly innocent statement that actually perpetuates dangerous misconceptions. As the panel explores, there's a world of difference between saying the government 'can' create money versus acknowledging that it 'does' create money with every pound it spends. This distinction matters because it allows economists and pundits to maintain outdated frameworks whilst appearing to acknowledge MMT insights. Dr Armstrong brings his characteristic clarity to explaining the consolidated view of government and central bank operations, illustrating why all government spending necessarily involves money creation. Using vivid analogies - from goldfish that must swim in water to the government's unique relationship with the Bank of England - he demonstrates why currency-issuing governments are fundamentally different from currency users like households or businesses. The discussion then tackles the politically damaging notion that governments should only 'borrow to invest'. Patricia explains why this framing misunderstands the true function of deficits whilst inadvertently supporting neoliberal arguments for privatisation. The panel reveals how this seemingly progressive talking point actually reinforces the household analogy and hands ammunition to fiscal conservatives. In his analysis of the 'public debt time bomb' narrative, Phil turns conventional wisdom on its head by pointing out that if foreign debt holdings were truly a source of power, then Britain - as the second-largest holder of US Treasury securities - would presumably have a decisive degree of control over America's economic destiny. Throughout, the conversation illuminates core MMT principles: the operational reality of government spending, the true nature of government bonds as private sector savings, and why exchange rate concerns, whilst legitimate, shouldn't drive us back to defunct fiscal rules. The panel's analysis reveals how even well-intentioned progressive economists can inadvertently perpetuate harmful misconceptions about monetary sovereignty.   =========== Key Topics with Timestamps [02:15] Introduction to the Fauxbel Prize concept[05:30] "Government can create money" vs "does create money"[12:45] The consolidated view of government and central bank[18:20] Why all government spending is money creation[25:10] "Borrowing to invest" - the progressive own goal[35:45] Historical context: Keynes and bifurcating budgets[42:30] The "Tap" system vs bond auctions[48:15] "Public debt = time bomb" narrative analysis[55:40] Exchange rate concerns and industrial policy   ========= Guest Bio Dr Phil Armstrong - Economist and author of "Can Heterodox Economics Make a Difference?".

In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Candice Bourke and Felicity Thomas unpack one of the most misunderstood wealth strategies in Australia borrowing to invest through margin lending.Many Australians are comfortable using debt to build wealth through property, but far fewer understand how leverage can be used in a diversified global portfolio. When structured correctly, margin lending can accelerate long-term wealth. However, when used poorly, it can magnify risk and volatility.In this episode, we break down the strategy in a simple and practical way, including real client scenarios and the key considerations sophisticated investors need to understand.We cover:✔️ What margin lending is and how it works✔️ Loan-to-value ratios (LVR) and how lenders assess risk✔️ What actually happens in a margin call✔️ Why diversification and investment selection matter more than leverage✔️ A 10-year real-world scenario leveraging the S&P 500, including realistic Australian borrowing costs✔️ Behavioural mistakes investors make during market volatility✔️ Margin lending versus property gearing✔️ Who this strategy may be suitable for – and who should avoid itThis episode is designed for high-income professionals, long-term investors and anyone looking to build wealth through disciplined, strategic investing.

What if the real problem isn't that you don't know what to do, but it's that you're too depleted to trust what you already know?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to unpack decision fatigue and the sneaky way it chips away at self-trust for high-performing women carrying a heavy load. Tiffany shares two vulnerable stories from a season where life felt like too much: realizing her marriage wasn't what she'd been pretending it was, and a holiday moment where overwhelm pushed her into making an irrational “middle-of-the-night Christmas lights” decision.Together, Tiffany and Brian name what's really happening in these seasons: the tyranny of the urgent, the “racket” of overwhelm that can reward overfunctioning, and the avoidance loop that keeps big decisions buried under small tasks. Brian reframes self-trust as what happens after a decision: the ability to stand by your choice without rewriting it the moment discomfort or pushback shows up. They also talk through how feedback loops can train leaders to doubt themselves, and why this struggle is often a sign you're a high-capacity performer, not someone who's failing.You'll walk away with a framework to:Recognize the early indicators that you're slipping into overwhelmSeparate urgent noise from what actually mattersBorrow objectivity when your brain can't sequence next stepsProtect your decisions from pushback-driven second-guessingWish you could talk it out with BK?

Send a textSelling crypto to fund life decisions can feel like cutting off future upside. We sat down with Tobias van Amstel, co-founder and CEO of Altitude, to unpack a smarter path: borrowing against assets like BTC and ETH so you can unlock liquidity while staying exposed to growth. From mortgages to market mechanics, we translate DeFi lending into simple mental models that make sense for founders, marketers, and anyone curious about finance that serves real needs.We start with what's broken in traditional lending: banks love your salary but struggle to lend against diverse assets. Tobias explains how on-chain collateral changes that dynamic, turning selling into a choice and letting both large funds and everyday savers access the same lending rails. We dive into trust signals that matter—transparent rules and reserves, audited code with real uptime, and teams that stand behind their products—so you can spot red flags before you click “borrow.”Then we decode yield. Not all returns are created equal, so we map the four main sources in DeFi: borrower-paid interest for lenders, trading fees for liquidity providers, real-world asset yields brought on-chain, and protocol incentives. Tobias shares how to weigh sustainability, liquidity, and risk so your returns aren't just numbers on a dashboard. For first-time borrowers, we get practical: wallets, security basics, gas, and why integrated on-ramps and loan optimizers can dramatically reduce friction and find best rates without hopping between protocols.We also explore why building financial infrastructure demands aviation-level rigor. In consumer apps, a bug irritates; in DeFi, it can vaporize funds. That's why testing, audits, conservative releases, and ongoing monitoring are non-negotiable. Finally, we look ahead to AI agents. Because blockchains are transparent and programmable, agents can analyze public data and act safely with scoped keys and guardrails—something closed, credentialed TradFi systems struggle to enable. If the industry can preserve open access—where a billion-dollar fund and someone with a hundred dollars share the same opportunities—DeFi will fulfill its promise to democratize finance.Enjoy the conversation, share it with a friend who's on the fence about DeFi, and leave a quick review to help more people find us.

In this episode, we dig into why so many people leave conventional medicine hoping functional medicine will be the "exit ramp"… only to end up overwhelmed by pricey testing, endless protocols, peptides, and supplement stacks. We clarify that functional medicine itself isn't the enemy. The real problem is bringing the same outside-in, fix-me mindset into a new system and calling it "natural." We make the case that lasting health isn't something that happens to you. It's something you participate in, from the inside out, by rebuilding resilience, adaptability, and trust in the body's design to restore. We also challenge the cultural obsession with optimization, constant data, and "personalized medicine," including the risks of health-data harvesting and biosurveillance. Our bottom line: you shouldn't need a $2,500 buy-in to start healing. The better path is self-directed, principled, vitalistic healing—using tools wisely, avoiding dependency, and choosing support that strengthens your body's own capacity instead of trying to supplement your way back to health.

Brian Bates and his wife Anne run Bear Creek Organic Farm in Petoskey, Michigan. A little over a decade after starting their farm, they are grossing over $1.5 million from their on-farm store- which is surprising considering that before COVID, their farm was mostly wholesale, whereas now most of their sales come from on-farm retail. In retrospect, it's easy to think the last decade was an uninterrupted period of growth; however in this interview, we'll talk about the bumps along the way and how they overcame them. We also talk about the big pivot that changed their farm from wholesale to retail, how they have used smart borrowing over the years to grow their business, and how they farm year-round and take direction from their customers to make sure they're providing what their customers want. Connect With Guest:Website: bearcreekorganicfarm.comInstagram: @bearcreekorganicfarm Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Farmhand is the virtual assistant built for farmers—helping CSAs scale sales, run error-free fulfillment, and deliver 5-star service.

If investment advice is coming from influencers, crypto hype accounts, or self-proclaimed gurus on social media, the odds are already stacked against you.From wildly bad crypto calls to contradictions posted just days apart, the pattern is always the same: bold promises, zero accountability, and real people left holding the bag. Borrowing money to speculate, following celebrity endorsements, and believing overnight-wealth fantasies all end the same way.There's no shortcut here. Building wealth takes time, discipline, and patience—not tweets, memes, or internet bravado.

Debt can either accelerate your growth or quietly destroy everything you've built. In this episode, I'm joined by longtime friend of the show Bill D'Alessandro to break down Commandment #4 of the Financial Mastery series: borrow wisely. As someone who's been historically debt-averse, I wanted Bill (who is far more comfortable with leverage) to help unpack the realities, risks, and opportunities founders face when navigating debt in eCommerce. Listen in as we walk through the eight most common and dangerous mistakes entrepreneurs make - from misunderstanding merchant cash advances to signing personal guarantees without fully understanding the consequences. We also talk about how to protect yourself, when debt actually is the right move, and why founders often borrow for the wrong reasons. If you've ever considered taking on debt or are currently managing it, this episode will help you approach borrowing with clarity, intention, and respect for the risks involved.

The crew navigates a legendary Homie Helpline for Smokey, a 6'2" reformed "Lexus borrower" who is trying to find love after a two-year stint in county but currently has less game than a "sassy" probation judge. The comedy stays high as the "studious fools" roast the 2028 LA Olympics for "city-fishing" the world by hosting soccer games in New York and investigate why Batman has to be on a subway before men will give up their seats for a pregnant lady.

Some machine shop owners talk about people-first leadership. Few are willing to put everything on the line to prove it. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sit down with Gary Poesnecker, founder of Spectrum Machine & Design, whose leadership was tested when the world shut down. Faced with collapsing demand during COVID, Gary made a decision most owners wouldn't: he borrowed over $1 million to keep his team employed and protect the tribal knowledge inside his shop. That moment didn't happen in isolation. It was the result of decades of experience across precision grinding, machine rebuilding, offshore oil equipment, and ultimately high-risk aerospace manufacturing, where a single part can be worth hundreds of thousands — or even millions — of dollars. Gary shares how starting in a garage, working two full-time jobs, and getting fired shaped his views on culture, loyalty, and responsibility. We dig into the realities of AS9100, NADCAP, model-based definition, managing extreme risk, and why refusing high turnover has become a strategic advantage. This conversation is about what it really takes to build a high-stakes manufacturing business — and what it means to lead when the cost of failure is measured in both dollars and people.

Get the Midterm Rental Insurance Blueprint: https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprintIn this deep-dive episode of In The Lab, Ruben welcomes back Brent Kesler — creator of The Money Multiplier Method and returning guest from Episode 138 (2021). Four years later, Brent returns with even more clarity, more proof, and more real-world examples of how infinite banking can transform the way entrepreneurs, investors, and families build wealth. Now holding over 30 policies personally, Brent breaks down exactly how he uses IBC to fund real estate, pay off debt, move money through private lending, and build generational wealth inside properly structured trusts. Brent not only does this himself but he's empowered thousands of entrepreneurs to use this vehicle including yours truly — Ruben Kanya. Brent explains why most people misunderstand whole life insurance, how wealthy families have used these strategies for over 200 years, and why “becoming your own banker” gives you control banks never will. He also unpacks the mechanics behind policy design, how to access capital tax-free, why death benefit matters less than cash value, and how to integrate IBC with real estate, business operations, and multi-policy ecosystems.Throughout the conversation, Ruben and Brent explore advanced strategies — from infinite wealth loops to family banking structures, premium flow sequencing, private lending arbitrage, and legacy planning. Brent also shares what's changed since 2021, why more sophisticated investors are now using IBC, and how anyone can start regardless of income level.Tune in now to learn how to take control of your capital, build a long-term wealth engine, and design a financial system that compounds for generations.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPISODE:19:08 Brent talks about how entrepreneurs stay broke by bleeding interest instead of building systems.53:03 Brent talk about using policy loans instead of withdrawingKEEPING IT REAL:06:44 – Infinite Banking 101 10:58 – How wealthy families use IBC15:36 – Brent's $984K debt payoff journey19:22 – Cash value explained clearly23:41 – Why whole life (not term or IUL)28:55 – Understanding policy design & funding34:47 – Borrowing against your policy40:12 – Real estate examples using IBC45:58 – Arbitrage, spreads & recycling dollars51:33 – How entrepreneurs misuse debt56:09 – Avoiding policy design mistakes1:02:44 – Using IBC inside partnerships1:08:15 – Trusts, legacy planning & structure1:14:50 – When not to use IBC1:20:18 – Brent's 2026 wealth playbook1:28:07 – Final advice for long-term thinkersCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://themoneymultiplier.com/brent-keslerLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrentkesler/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.money.multiplier/#InfiniteBanking #IBCStrategy #WealthBuilding #CashFlowBanking #RealEstateInvesting #EntrepreneurMindset #FinancialFreedom #MoneyMastery #WealthCreation #ExperimentNation

a16z cofounders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz join a16z general partner Erik Torenberg and Not Boring founder Packy McCormick for a conversation on how the media and information ecosystem has changed over the past decade. The discussion breaks down the shift toward a more open and decentralized speech environment, the rise of writer- and creator-led platforms like Substack, and the erosion of centralized media gatekeepers. Marc and Ben also tie these dynamics to their investing worldview, outlining how supply-driven markets, major technological step changes, and reputation-driven venture platforms shape outcomes in the AI era.Timecodes: 00:00  Introduction00:46  How the media ecosystem is changing4:20  Why a16z invested in Substack6:28  Supply-driven markets and new content creation8:07  Why writers felt trapped by media companies10:09  Databricks and the 10x cloud multiplier13:58  Long-form podcasting proves demand15:40  What the new fund signals about the future16:24  AI as a universal problem solver18:49  Why market sizing is broken20:45  Go-to-market, policy, and platform power22:37  Turning inventors into confident CEOs25:58  Borrowing power to scale faster27:29  Building dreamers, not killing dreams30:46  Reputation as a core competitive advantage35:57  Taking arrows in public38:56  Avoiding big company failure modes40:39  Autonomous teams inside a16z41:54  Venture capital as the last job46:01  Why intangibles matter more than ever48:17  Original thinkers with charisma50:06  Why Zoomers are differentResources: https://www.notboring.co/p/a16z-the-power-brokershttps://www.a16z.news/p/firm-fundFollow Marc Andreessen on X: https://twitter.com/pmarcaFollow Ben Horowitz on X: https://twitter.com/bhorowitzFollow Erik Torenberg on X: https://twitter.com/eriktorenbergFollow Packy McCormick on X: https://twitter.com/packyM Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg](https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
