CardioNerds (Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Jane Ehret) discuss risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism with Dr. Stavros Konstantinides, Chair of the 2019 ESC Pulmonary Embolism Guidelines. Using a real-world case, this episode explores how modern PE care has moved beyond “massive” and “submassive” labels toward a dynamic, physiology-based approach. The discussion highlights the limitations of static risk scores, the importance of right ventricular dysfunction and biomarkers, and why normotension does not imply stability. Special emphasis is placed on intermediate-high risk PE, early identification of impending hemodynamic collapse, and the role of lactate, serial reassessment, and PERT teams in guiding escalation of care. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern, Joshua Khorsandi.The 2026 American multi-society PE guidelines were published after this episode was recorded. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls Stable blood pressure does not mean low risk in PEHypotension is a late finding. Patients may have severe RV failure, hypoxia, and tissue hypoperfusion while remaining normotensive — a key concept behind “normotensive shock.” Risk stratification in PE must be dynamic, not staticLegacy scores like PESI and Bova provide a snapshot and predict 30-day mortality, but they do not capture short-term trajectory or impending hemodynamic collapse. Intermediate-high risk PE is a dangerous and heterogeneous groupPatients with RV dysfunction, positive biomarkers, tachycardia, hypoxemia, and elevated lactate may have in-hospital mortality approaching 15%, rivaling STEMI. Lactate is a critical but underutilized marker in PEElevated lactate reflects tissue hypoxia and early circulatory failure and may identify patients at risk for collapse before blood pressure declines. PERT enables physiology-driven, patient-centered PE carePERT teams operationalize continuous reassessment, integrate imaging, labs, and clinical trajectory, and allow timely escalation — shifting PE management from rigid categories to real-time decision-making. Notes Drafted by Dr. Jane Ehret. 1. What is the contemporary framework for risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism? Modern PE risk stratification prioritizes hemodynamics and right ventricular (RV) function rather than clot burden. The 2019 ESC Guidelines classify PE into high risk, intermediate risk (low vs high), and low risk, based on: Hemodynamic status, RV dysfunction on imaging, and Cardiac biomarkers. This framework emphasizes early mortality risk but requires clinical context to guide escalation decisions. 2. Why is normotension insufficient to define “stability” in PE? Blood pressure is a late marker of circulatory failure in PE. Patients can maintain normal BP through Tachycardia, Increased sympathetic tone, and RV compensation. Many patients with preserved BP may already have shock physiology, including hypoxemia, elevated lactate, and RV failure — sometimes referred to as “normotensive shock.” 3. How should intermediate-risk PE be conceptualized clinically? Intermediate-risk PE is heterogeneous, ranging from patients who do well on anticoagulation to those who deteriorate rapidly. Intermediate-high risk PE is defined by RV dysfunction on imaging and positive cardiac biomarkers. Clinical features such as tachycardia, increasing oxygen requirement, and elevated lactate identify patients at highest risk within this group. 4. What are the strengths and limitations of commonly used PE risk scores? Legacy scores are useful for initial risk categorization but are static and limited in predicting short-term deterioration. Most scores were developed to predict mortality or complications at fixed time points rather than dynamic clinical trajectory. 5. What are the commonly used risk scores and clinical tools in PE, and what is each designed to predict? ESC Risk Stratification Algorithm: Identifies high-risk PE by hemodynamics. Uses PESI or sPESI in normotensive patients to distinguish low-risk from non–low-risk PE. Uses RV dysfunction and biomarkers to differentiate intermediate-low from intermediate-high risk. Forms the basis of many institutional PE pathways. PESI and sPESI: Validated to predict 30-day mortality. Widely used to identify low-risk patients appropriate for outpatient management. Heavily influenced by age and comorbidities. Bova Score: Predicts 30-day PE-related complications in normotensive patients. Composite PE Shock Score (CPES): Predicts normotensive shock in hemodynamically stable PE patients. Pulmonary Embolism Progression (PEP) Score: Predicts progression from intermediate-risk to high-risk PE within 72 hours of diagnosis. PE Short-term Clinical Outcomes Risk Estimation (PE-SCORE): Predicts clinical deterioration or death within 5 days of PE diagnosis. Hestia Criteria: Identifies low-risk PE patients safe for outpatient treatment. Wells' Criteria and Revised Geneva Score: Determine pretest probability for diagnostic triage. PERC Score: Rules out PE in very low-risk patients. 6. What is the role of biomarkers in PE risk stratification? Troponin and natriuretic peptides reflect RV myocardial injury and strain. Current guidelines treat biomarkers as binary (positive vs negative), despite risk being continuous. Biomarkers are most helpful for: Initial risk classification. They are less useful for: Short-interval monitoring and Detecting rapid clinical deterioration. 7. Why is lactate an important physiologic marker in PE? Lactate reflects global tissue hypoxia and impaired perfusion. Elevated lactate may identify patients with: Early circulatory failure and Increased risk of imminent hemodynamic collapse. Lactate is not currently included in ESC risk algorithms but may add important prognostic information in intermediate-risk patients. 8. How does trajectory influence decision-making in PE management? Risk stratification should be viewed as a dynamic process, not a one-time label. Worsening clinical trajectory may include: Rising heart rate, Increasing oxygen needs, Rising lactate, and Progressive RV dysfunction. Serial reassessment is essential for timely escalation of care. 9. What role do Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT) play in risk stratification? PERT facilitates: Multidisciplinary decision-making and Integration of imaging, biomarkers, and clinical physiology. PERT is most valuable for: Intermediate-risk and high-risk PE and Patients with complex comorbidities or uncertain trajectory. PERT enables a shift from category-based to physiology-driven PE care.

Story of the Week (DR):BP ousts chair over ‘serious' governance, oversight concerns MMThe board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The oil giant's board removed Albert Manifold from his roles as chair and director this week, effective immediately. He faced a contingent of investor opposition at BP's recent annual meeting.Internal leaks and a whistleblower report point to a pattern of "aggressive," "verbally abusive," and "bullying" behavior toward multiple colleagues, alongside accusations of withholding info from the board and leaking privileged data.Ousted BP Chair Hits Back at ‘Lies' About His ConductThe boardroom turmoil at BP deepened after its ousted chair, Albert Manifold, claimed allegations about his conduct were “lies”.In a new and lengthy statement, Manifold disputed reports about his conduct, saying: “At no point in my tenure as chairman of BP has anyone raised with me any issue about my conduct or my relationship with my colleagues.”He also described media reports that he wanted to exert control of the FTSE 100 company like an executive chair as “nonsense”. Manifold said he had “many other commitments” and had only spent 13 days in BP's London office so far this year.“What I do not accept is that lies can be told about me, nor that anyone should be allowed to hide behind anonymity when commenting on my time at BP.”Manifold conceded he may have “pushed hard and challenged people directly” amid his “determination to drive change on costs, performance, the balance sheet and shareholder communications”.However, he disputed reports from the company about his behaviour, adding: “There is a considerable distance between driving an organisation with urgency and the characterisation of my conduct that is now being put about.”He said such “accusations” had not been previously made about his behaviour during his 40-year career. He added that he “called out … unnecessary or excessive expenditure” but felt not everyone shared his priorities.Manifold said he turned down many of the benefits traditionally enjoyed by top executives, which he called a “culture of entitlement”, including chauffeur-driven cars, being flown by private jet or taking advantage of corporate hospitality: “I had no interest in having a dedicated chauffeur-driven limousine at my beck and call on the occasions that I was in London. I, like most people, walked, took taxis, trains, etc. I had no interest in taking private aviation nor in availing myself of corporate tickets for sports events. I made my own coffee, bought my lunch in the local cafe. I sat in a small office, eschewing the grand corner-office privilege of previous chairmen.”Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."This marks BP's fourth abrupt top-tier departure in three years, following the rapid exits of previous chair Helge Lund and chief executives Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss.BoardIan Tyler Interim Chair 2025Meg O'Neill CEO 2026Kate Thomson CFO 2024 (Interim in 2023)Dame Amanda Blanc Senior Independent Director 2022Dave Hager 2025Tushar Morzaria 2020Hina Nagarajan 2023Satish Pai 2023Dr. Johannes Teyssen 2021Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October.

May 2026Against the backdrop of war and secrecy, the Codebreakers of Bletchley Park were often able to enjoy comfort in music. From choirs to orchestras, gramophone evenings to opera, music appears again and again as a recurring motif in the social lives of those working at the Government Code & Cypher School. This episode delves into several different aspects of a topic that we are often asked about, but which frequently gets overshadowed by the showier activities of the BP Drama Group.Head of Content Erica Munro and Head of Audiences and Programmes Vicki Pipe will discuss some very special musical material from Bletchley Park Trust's archive. Hear from researcher and musician Crispin Lewis about his famous BP relative, composer Herbert Murrill. We are also joined by Research Officer Dr Thomas Cheetham to explore links between music and codebreaking.Many thanks to Crispin Lewis for allowing us reproduce his performance of Herbert Murrill's 1942 piece 'In Youth Is Pleasure'. www.crispinlewis.comSee copies of the documents we discuss in this episode here: https://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/our-story/e191-music-at-bletchley-park/ Image: ©Bletchley Park Trust 2026#BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #Enigma, #Codebreaker,

On this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome Sarah Mary Toce Donlon, a speaker and consultant whose work bridges faith, wellness, leadership, human dignity, and the deeper questions that shape how we live. Sarah Mary is a Lafayette native from a third-generation Lebanese family, rooted in the Mahtook family. She describes growing up surrounded by cousins, food, and family, swimming at her grandmother's pool, and a deep sense of belonging. “I always just wanted to leave the world better than I found it,” she shares. “My family was so great and always supported my dreams and my big goals. I would say that they always dreamed bigger for me than I did for myself.” Sarah Mary first studied Disaster Science and Management at LSU, a path she jokingly calls “basically a superhero degree.” Theology had always interested her, but she saw disaster response as a way to live out her faith in practical service: “I could do the work of Christianity in helping people in their most vulnerable times, caring for the hurt, the sick, and those in need.” As a young intern at the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness during the BP oil spill, she witnessed the gravity of public service in real time. “The FBI is on the phone and the helicopters are coming in. It was something to see. I could be a part of a crew that had a hand in helping people recover.” Her path later turned toward advocacy, communications, and the dignity of women and children. Through spiritual direction, she began asking deeper questions about faith and theology. Her spiritual director eventually asked whether she had considered pursuing a degree in the subject. Sarah Mary remembered that as a child, she had written about that very dream in a journal. “I applied, I interviewed, I got in, I got a full scholarship,” she recalls of pursuing studies at Boston College. “It was unbelievable how it lined up. So I knew the path was made clear and I knew I was supposed to be there.” At Boston College, Sarah Mary earned her Master of Divinity, a three-year program with a pastoral component. But she is quick to say that theological study did not give her neat answers. “I always say that I was seeking answers, but I didn't get answers because I find in, at least the Christian tradition, when you get answers, you get more questions. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.” What she received instead was a deeper understanding: “My whole worldview was reshaped. As a person, the way I engage with people and with life and with thoughts was made so much deeper and more impactful.” Part of her faith formation took her to Rwanda, where she completed her practicum teaching English and religion. Rwanda was then implementing English as a primary language, and Sarah Mary often used French to teach English to her students. She describes living on a school compound where “cows were roaming the grounds,” beginning mornings with dances with the children, and sharing meals with teachers. “It was such a spectacular experience,” she says. “It's a beautiful country, more beautiful than people realize.” A central theme of Sarah Mary's work is that faith does not require a rejection of reason. She says, “The awakened brain is wired for spirituality. Faith elevates reason, and science can prove it.” In our conversation, she explains that this idea has shaped a retreat she calls Sacred Sight, influenced in part by Dr. Lisa Miller's work in The Awakened Brain. Sarah Mary describes the human mind as needing both sides of the “picnic table”: logic, science, and facts on one side, and spirituality, philosophy, intuition, and the arts on the other. “In our world, we tend to think the only true way to know anything is through logic and science and facts, period,” she says. “So what Dr. Miller argues is that you're only using half of your brain when you think that way.” Sarah Mary's Catholic faith informs how she understands the relationship between reason and transcendence. “Faith never contradicts reason. It just elevates it,” she explains. “Reason has a ceiling. You can reason things all the way as high as reason will let you. But then it has a ceiling. And that's where faith comes in to elevate that ceiling.” This spiritual lens allows her to speak about suffering, meaning, and human purpose without reducing life to easy explanations. “Our suffering isn't meaningless,” she says. “It has a larger meaning in the wider world.” That belief also shapes her view of the human person. “As Catholics, we say we're built in the image of God,” Sarah Mary says. “We have God's fingerprints on our soul.” But she does not present faith as anti-intellectual or dismissive of science. Instead, she calls people to “expand the logic” and “dive into the faith.” For Sarah Mary, faith is not an escape from reality; it is a deeper engagement with it. “God's footprints are all over the created order,” she says. “If you go into nature and you look with sacred sight, using that fully awakened brain, you can see reflections of God.” Sarah Mary is especially compelling when she speaks about human dignity. Her theological education, she says, broke her out of “very black and white rigid notions of truth and not truth, right and wrong, and clear and not clear.” She learned to become more comfortable in “the gray,” where opposing truths can coexist in tension. She uses the example of Jesus being fully human and fully divine: “You have to hold two opposing ideas in tension, and they actually create the whole truth.” That same understanding applies to daily human relationships, leadership, communication, and conflict. For Sarah Mary, dignity becomes practical when we ask who we have quietly decided is “other.” Reflecting on a psalm that says God prepares a banquet before one's enemies, she observes: “What God doesn't say is that your enemies are not invited to that banquet.” She challenges listeners to consider not only who they identify as enemies, but who they value less than themselves. “Where can we challenge ourselves to grow an understanding of that person and inevitably grow in empathy and understand that they are dignified, just like you and I, no matter their circumstance, no matter what they look like?” That insight leads to one of the most grounded moments in the interview: how we see people experiencing homelessness. “Nobody grows up saying, I can't wait to have to beg for food,” Sarah Mary says. “That wasn't their dream.” She offers a simple but powerful phrase: “curiosity before judgment.” Rather than assuming we know someone's story, she asks us to become curious first. “What if we just got curious about people's lives before we made some all-knowing judgment when we don't even know who they are?” Through Sarah Mary, LLC, she now offers retreats, speaking engagements, leadership formation, corporate workshops, and spiritual conversations. Her work has included a teachers' retreat at Cathedral Carmel, a diaconate retreat for the current deacons at the Diocese of Lafayette, a five-part Easter mission at St. Pius X Church, and corporate retreats focused on leadership and morale. She does not believe in offering canned answers. “I never like to treat symptoms,” she says. “I like to treat root causes and help people think more deeply so that they can understand. Because when we understand, then we own knowledge and knowledge can transform us.” In corporate spaces, Sarah Mary often focuses on human flourishing, empathy, and communication. When morale is low or an organization is struggling through change, she helps people step back and see the larger picture. “Sometimes people just need to be heard and told that they're understood,” she says. Her approach is rooted in servant leadership and the belief that people thrive when their dignity is recognized. Sarah Mary also brings wellness into her work, not as a trendy add-on, but as part of the whole human person. Having worked as a trainer and in the health industry, she sees physical wellness as another form of healing. She has taught clients about movement, nutrition, and “adding more color in their life,” especially through fruits, vegetables, and micronutrition. In her view, faith and wellness are not separate: “God made it,” she says of the natural world. “It's his pharmacy.” The interview closes with practical wisdom about stillness, balance, and self-awareness. Sarah Mary says balance is often misunderstood. “I don't think it's giving everything equal amounts of yourself,” she explains. “Balance is knowing what your values are and making sure those are aligned with your daily priorities.” She encourages people to identify their values and then examine whether their actual days reflect those values. “We can go through a day and do 500 things and be incredibly efficient and accomplished, and then go to bed feeling like we did nothing because nothing that we did aligned with who we were and who we're called to be.” Sarah Mary offers a beautiful reminder about contemplation and prayer. Reflecting on silence, she references Pseudo-Dionysius and describes “a silence where you don't quiet yourself, but the mystery and the awe of God silences you.” In that space, words fall short. “It forces you to stop saying anything and just receive.” She also reminds us that faith requires space and invitation: “God's not going to force Himself into your life. He's waiting for your invitation.” This conversation with Sarah Mary Toce Donlon is ultimately about depth: deeper faith, deeper listening, deeper leadership, deeper dignity, and deeper awareness of the human being. She invites us to move beyond quick fixes, rigid categories, and surface-level solutions, and instead to ask better questions, hold mystery with humility, and see ourselves and others as created in love.

Key account management (KAM) isn't merely a sales function—it's a transformative business model that bridges organizations with their most valuable customers. Too often misunderstood or underleveraged, KAM has the potential to drive deep strategic value and foster long-term growth. In this episode of Sales Reinvented, Mark Davies and I unpack the essentials of effective key account management, the common pitfalls organizations face, and the concrete strategies for building world-class account relationships. Mark, chairman of the Association of Key Account Management, visiting fellow at Cranfield, and founder of Value Matters. With deep expertise as both a buyer and seller, including leadership roles at BP and in the pharmaceutical industry, Mark brings a wealth of insight into what sets key account management apart from traditional sales approaches.    Outline of This Episode [00:00] Who are key account customers? [03:55] Challenges in key account management [07:26] Understanding the customer's big picture [10:25] Talking to customers at different levels [16:14] Building a customer-focused strategy plan [22:18] Unlocking growth through collaboration Avoiding Common Mistakes in Key Account Management One of the biggest traps companies fall into is believing that training alone can transform their KAM results. Mark cautions that KAM is more than just the key account manager, it's a company-wide mindset and approach, not a solo endeavor. A critical organizational misstep is continuing to reward key account managers on short-term sales targets while expecting them to deliver multi-year account growth. Metric systems must evolve to reflect longer-term, value-driven objectives, not just monthly or quarterly transaction goals.   What Makes an Effective Key Account Plan? A living KAM plan is not just a glorified document; it's a dynamic framework for strategy, internal alignment, and customer engagement. Mark recommends structuring plans around five pillars: capturing value insights, developing tailored value propositions, defining account strategies, securing internal buy-in (the "internal pitch"), and ensuring robust value delivery backed by measurable outcomes. Regular leadership reviews and organizational engagement are essential to keep the plan actionable and relevant—a "set it and forget it" approach simply won't work.   Top Do's and Don'ts for Key Account Management Key account management is ultimately about building trust, understanding, and value for both parties. With strategic leadership, disciplined processes, and a focus on genuine customer partnership, KAM can elevate selling from transactional to transformational. Here are Mark's dos: Do treat KAM as a distinct business model and change process Do start with a focused set of accounts Do engage the broader organization And here are his don'ts: Don't measure KAMs solely on short-term sales Don't overload them with too many accounts Don't neglect the fundamentals of value-based selling   Mark shares a powerful example of when key account management works from a business that, after implementing collaborative KAM strategies across its merged business units, unlocked organic growth so significant that they struggled to meet the surge in demand. Mark's story illustrates how the right KAM process can transform relationships and drive sustainable business results.   Connect with Mark Davies Mark Davies on LinkedIn     Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com  

On this episode: Running an election is harder than it looks — and it's always been that way. Ballotpedia founder and CEO Leslie Graves joins host Norman Leahy to walk through how elections actually get administered, from the surprisingly murky process of figuring out which district you live in to the chaotic, largely improvised vote that determined whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or a slave state. Along the way, they explore the surprisingly recent history of the secret ballot, how party-printed ballots once made your vote visible to everyone around you, the origins of the ballot initiative process, and why states that have it are unlikely to ever give it up.Read Leslie's Column: https://ballotpedia.org/From_the_desk_of_Leslie_Graves Check out our complete office hours series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtP8LWIl9mMO2t_0SXnYhwMv6HHgIoL75 Are you running for office, or struggling to find information for a candidate?

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues. For that I am sorry.""I think the transcript makes it clear that I value our colleagues – all of them – most highly and that we are totally committed to helping them to cope with the accelerating pace of change in our industry."JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon says bank chief's viral AI comment was 'inartful' Dimon downplayed the viral backlash against Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters—who drew fire for saying his bank would replace "lower-value human capital" with technology—calling it an "inartful" slip-of-the-tongue from a friend.Neopbabies and Dropout babiesJames Murdoch to acquire New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network -1Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go' 6Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow justified firing his entire Human Resources department by claiming they actively manufactured internal frictionThe aggressive purge follows a brutal 97% collapse in Bolt's valuation—crashing from an $11 billion peak in 2022 down to $300 millionTraditional HR has been entirely swapped for a skeletal "people operations" team, shifting the focus away from employee complaints and internal processes toward basic compliance training and empowering managers to make split-second decisionsAlongside gutting HR, Breslow rolled back employee-friendly benefits like four-day workweeks and unlimited PTO, claiming a culture of complacency had taken over and that 99% of his legacy workforce was simply unwilling to work hardRyan dropped out of Stanford in 2014 to launch BoltThe Middle School Boy Man Babies Rule the WorldMan Drives Cybertruck Into Lake to Test Elon Musk's “Boat” Claims, and It Went About as Well as You'd Guess -10"The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."Tesla CEO Elon Musk:randomly tweeted that the vehicle would function as a rudimentary flotation device.“It will even float for a while.”“[The vehicle would be able to] traverse at least 100m [330 feet] of water as a boat.”“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.”Jeff Bezos urges US government to stop taxing 50% of America — and claims doubling his taxes won't help ‘that teacher in Queens' 400Jeff Bezos backs Mamdani's tax on luxury second homes, but says Ken Griffin isn't the villainJeff Bezos on Zohran Mamdani's big mistake: ‘When you don't know how to solve a problem, create a villain, blame them'Jeff Bezos says there is ‘no truth' to the ‘buy borrow die' tax strategyBillionaires Openly Use It: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has historically pledged over $30 billion worth of his Oracle stock as collateral for personal bank loans.

According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven.

We define truth seeking as the active, relentless pursuit of what is objectively true about reality, and grounded in evidence, logic, empirical data, and first principles thinking.AI's ability to revolutionize human potential is directly dependent on meeting exponentially increasing resource demands.We now must go to space to get more resources for AI so we can get to spaceNow the governance who do you blame gameMusk will get:85% voting power (dual class, he owns 94% of Class B 10 vote shares and 12% of Class A shares)The ability to nominate and vote exclusively on >50% of the boardA board which currently includes..TWO execs - Gwynne Shotwell (President) and Musk (three titles)Tesla mafia: Ira Ehreinpreis, Tesla board sycophant, director at the Boring Company and xAI, and longtime Musk hanger on, added Feb 2026Antonio Gracias, ex Tesla director who was explicitly called out in the Tornetta decision as corrupted, cross party transactions with Musk, on boards of Neuralink and Boring Company, added Oct 2010TWO VC bros from DFJ - Randy Glein (SpaceX board observer for 16 years, directors since Feb 2026) and Steve Jurvestson (former Tesla director, director since March 2009) who was ousted from the VC firm with his name on it for sexual harassmentPaypal mafia:Luke Nosek, co founder of PayPal, one of the founders of Founders Fund with Thiel and Ken Howery, invested in DeepMind, director since July 2008Donald Harrison - managed Google purchase of DeepMind, relationship with Nosek, director since Feb 2015Director relationship tenures to Musk: Shotwell: 24 yearsEhreinpreis: 21 yearsGracias: 21 yearsJurvetson: 17 yearsGlein: 16 yearsNosek: 26 yearsHarrison: 11 years (+1 if Nosek/Deepmind connection counts)Texas jurisdiction exclusively (judge shopped) - 3% to sue them, mandatory arbitration, anti-takeover statutes, special meetings ONLY CALLED BY MUSK (no one less than 50% of stock can call a meeting or vote)No written consent - no prior noticeAdvance notice bylaws for the zero shareholder proposals allowedFull omission of board liability - including a provision that automatically allows whatever the conflicts of interest they want with directorsWHO (WHEN) DO YOU BLAME?The US GovernmentDepartment of Energy - in 2010, the DoE gave Tesla a $465m loan, which basically paid for the Model S and helped it buy a factory 6 months before it went public - Musk has said Tesla would not have survived without the loanNevada - in 2014, Nevada gave Musk $1.3bn to build a factory, the most everNASA - spent more than $15bn over years on SpaceX and programs with themThe IRS/Congress - the EV tax credit for $7,500 single handedly pushed Tesla from losing money in 2020 to making money (they effectively got $1.6bn from the US government in 2020), and showing its first profit, which sparked the memefest during COVID and made Musk the richest man on earth - Musk then went on and called for an end to the tax credit since his “competitors” needed it more than Tesla. Tesla made ~$11bn from tax credits aloneThe DoD - started paying SpaceX in 2003 for concept work - and even when the rockets didn't work, the DoD and NASA awarded the company massive contracts anywayJeff Bezos said in 2016 that, “Elon's real superpower is getting government money.”FOMOSpaceX LOSES MONEY - it does not make moneyIf it were a satellite internet company - and NOT THE FIRST - the first was HughesNet in 1996, and Viasat offered it in 2012 - it would make money ($1.2m in income!)Instead, investors are valuing SpaceX as THE LARGEST IPO IN THE HISTORY OF EVER despite the fact that they are burning money on AI, and arguably the worst AIIncluding spending the most on R&D, marketing, and acquisition of Cursor to make up for the fact that Grok suckedIn exchange for FOMO, investors have ENTIRELY GIVEN UP THEIR RIGHTSIt is 100% a private companyTornettaIf Tornetta hadn't sued for Musk's pay, would SpaceX be structured this way?The banks underwriting the dealWho AGREED TO BUY GROK as a term of getting the underwriting, because everyone bends the knee to moneyThe boardI guess

Crisis doesn't care about your schedule,  and when it hits, the difference between survival and collapse comes down to judgment, preparation, and who you have in your corner. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Itay Ben Horin, one of Israel's leading crisis strategists and owner of Israel's largest communications consulting firm, Ben Horin & Alexandroitz, to unpack what a real crisis looks like and how the best leaders navigate it. From his new English-language book — Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big — to his firsthand role in the 50-day campaign to free Israeli child hostages following October 7th, Itay brings a perspective that is equal parts strategic and deeply human. He walks through 16 case studies covering figures from Lance Armstrong and Bill Clinton to Netanyahu and Chancellor Merkel, extracting the universal lessons buried inside some of history's most high-profile meltdowns and comebacks. Join Gregg and Itay on Cut to the Chase as they explore: What actually defines a crisis, and why most leaders misidentify it Why knowing your target audience is the most overlooked rule in crisis management The 'golden hour' principle and why every hour of preparation equals ten hours in the fire When to act fast, when to wait, and how to tell the difference Why fighting isn't always the answer, and what the smartest exit looks like How social media has permanently changed the crisis management playbook   KEY MOMENTS 0:00 — The opening hook: leadership under real pressure 0:26 — Introducing Itay Ben Horin and what crisis strategy really means 2:03 — When does a bad moment become a crisis? 3:39 — Inside the book: 16 case studies of political and business giants 4:44 — The October 7th hostage crisis and Itay's 50-day campaign for the children 7:03 — The #1 principle: understand your path to victory before you act 9:32 — Lance Armstrong: the cost of refusing to cut your losses 17:04 — Timing is everything, acting too fast or too slow, both kill you 23:03 — The biggest mistakes leaders make when facing a crisis 25:10 — Why 2026 demands a completely different crisis playbook 29:44 — Netanyahu's first primaries; the origin of his 'always attack' strategy 33:02 — Closing: why preparation is the only real competitive advantage   Itay Ben Horin is one of Israel's foremost crisis strategists and the owner of Ben Horin & Alexandroitz, Israel's largest communications consulting firm. With over 25 years of experience advising politicians, corporations, and public institutions through their most critical moments, Itay has been in the room when the stakes couldn't be higher — and has consistently delivered results under pressure. His book, Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big, was a bestseller in Israel in its Hebrew edition and has now been translated into English — featuring 16 real-world case studies and a new chapter on his role in the October 7th hostage crisis. Itay's frameworks have helped clients ranging from global CEOs to heads of state understand that how you handle a crisis is one of the most defining tests of leadership. His coaching methodology focuses on what he calls the "people side" of business: developing leaders who can communicate clearly, build trust, hold teams accountable, and inspire organizations to reach their next level.   The resources mentioned in this episode are: Book: Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big — by Itay Ben Horin (English edition, 2025) Learn More: Ben Horin & Alexandroitz Communications Consulting Firm Case Studies Referenced: Lance Armstrong, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Angela Merkel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Starbucks, McDonald's, BP   Contact Itay Ben Horin / Ben Horin & Alexandroitz: Website: https://ibh.co.il/en/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itayb1/   Want more insights on leadership, crisis, and the decisions that define careers and companies?

Episode 424: 

We went from zero to one hundred way too fast today. It all started with a simple country elimination and somehow devolved into whether Dan got drooled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo—or if it was something way worse. You are absolutely not ready for the rabbit hole we fell down trying to figure out if you can tell the difference between tiger spit and tiger jiz. To settle a separate argument about what a "chuff" actually is, we even ended up asking a medical expert a very questionable question. Plus, we put ourselves through a hypothetical lie detector test to find out if we're actually cool. 00:00 - Whipping out France from the country jar. 00:30 - The surprisingly real history of French kissing. 01:13 - Dan gets dribbled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo. 01:34 - The great tiger jiz vs. tiger saliva debate. 02:27 - What on earth is a chuff? (Spoiler: It has a lot of definitions). 03:10 - Can you get pregnant from anal sex? We ask a medical expert. 04:00 - The lie detector test: Are we actually cool? 05:15 - Meg's drumming skills and embarrassing BP moments. 06:12 - Why does Dan bounce when he walks and does Meg waddle?

En un contexto de tensión en los mercados energéticos por la guerra en Oriente Medio y la caída a un ritmo acelerado de las reservas, Venezuela reaparece como un proveedor útil para Estados Unidos. Aunque su peso global sigue siendo limitado, su papel gana relevancia por su valor estratégico y geopolítico, explica el analista José Enrique Arrioja. En medio de la subida de los precios del crudo a causa de la guerra en Oriente Medio y la reducción récord de las reservas de petróleo, el aporte de Venezuela como país productor, aunque menor, resulta particularmente beneficioso para Estados Unidos, afirma José Enrique Arrioja, analista económico del Centro de Expertos del Consejo de las Américas. Cuando se cumplen ya más de diez semanas de guerra en Oriente Medio, las reservas mundiales de petróleo se están agotando a un ritmo récord debido a las interrupciones del flujo a través del estrecho de Ormuz, que siguen restringiendo la oferta, informó este miércoles la Agencia Internacional de la Energía (AIE). Según la AIE, el mercado del petróleo seguirá previsiblemente en déficit hasta el último trimestre del año, mientras las interrupciones en el estrecho de Ormuz limitan la oferta y aumentan el riesgo de una nueva volatilidad de los precios. En este contexto de crisis en torno a la producción de crudo, Venezuela es un jugador menor, pero desempeña un papel significativo. Desde la detención de Nicolás Maduro en enero por Washington, la producción de barriles ha aumentado en ese país en un 22,9 %, cifra inédita desde 2019. Para José Enrique Arrioja, analista económico del Centro de Expertos del Consejo de las Américas, Venezuela se ha vuelto bastante útil para Estados Unidos. Venezuela, segundo proveedor de crudo a Estados Unidos  "En estos instantes, Venezuela se ha convertido en el segundo proveedor de crudo a Estados Unidos después de Canadá. En el equilibrio energético global, la cifra todavía tiene poco peso, sobre todo si se contrasta con las producciones que tienen otros países de la OPEP. Pero hay detrás de la interpretación de estos números fríos y escuetos un simbolismo y un valor estratégico y geopolítico, que es lo que históricamente le ha dado realce e importancia a la producción petrolera venezolana", explica. Debido a las sanciones impuestas por Estados Unidos en 2018 y 2019, Venezuela vendía la gran mayoría de su crudo a Asia, sobre todo a China. Pero parte del plan de Washington también es influir en este mercado. "En este mes de mayo, prácticamente 600.000 barriles de petróleo se están vendiendo a Estados Unidos. El resto de las exportaciones siguen yendo a destinos en el mercado asiático, pero definitivamente la presión de Estados Unidos sobre el gobierno liderado por Delcy Rodríguez para cortar relaciones con China está generando una recomposición en las ventas de Petróleos de Venezuela, haciendo que estas tiendan cada vez más a irse hacia Estados Unidos en lugar de dirigirse a los mercados asiáticos". Venezuela, importancia estratégica Estados Unidos tiene especial interés en el crudo de Venezuela, ya que sus refinerías pueden adaptarse al petróleo pesado que produce el país caribeño. Es por ello que se espera que la producción continúe aumentando y generando crecimiento. Se espera una revitalización de la contratación de mano de obra. Compañías al estilo de BP, Repsol, ENI están ya firmando acuerdos importantes para reactivar o retomar presencia. Se tuvo en Venezuela, en el caso de Repsol, la intención de triplicar la producción que tiene hoy en día la compañía en ese país, pasando de unos 45.000 barriles por día a 150.000 barriles por día en los próximos tres años. Arrioja concluye afirmando que el conflicto en Oriente Medio no convierte a Venezuela en una amenaza económica para el resto de los países de la OPEP, pero pone de manifiesto la importancia geoestratégica de este país en el panorama internacional.

Catherine McBride talks about her paper “Premeditated Industrial Destruction,” arguing UK net-zero policies have driven deindustrialization without lowering global emissions by shifting production and emissions to countries like China. They discuss UK energy reliance on fossil fuels (about 75–80%), gas backup for wind, bans and legal obstacles to new North Sea and shale projects while importing gas, and high industrial electricity costs from wind-related grid and balancing costs plus multiple carbon taxes. McBride criticizes EV mandates and fines, insufficient charging and grid capacity, and policies pushing carmakers and firms like BP away. She says EU net-zero rules hurt farming and industry, notes coal's role and storage advantages, questions activist funding (including alleged Russian support), and contrasts Norway's hydro and state oil strategy with UK decisions.00:00 Meet Catherine McBride00:11 How Net Zero Killed Industry02:37 Fossil Fuels Reality Check04:19 Importing Gas While Banning Drilling07:05 Norway Hydro And LNG09:33 Hybrids Versus Pure EVs11:54 EV Mandates And Car Industry Exit15:38 China EVs And Charging Limits19:05 Grid Can't Handle Electrification35:33 BP Profits Politics And US Option37:37 Free Speech Shift And Chris Wright Wish38:54 UK Cabinet Energy Illiteracy41:29 Coal Mines Versus Activists43:44 Europe's Coal Reality Check47:50 Batteries and Load Shedding51:45 Why Solar Fails in Britain53:48 Subsidies Warp Farming57:16 Tariffs and Media Blind Spots01:03:29 NGO Funding and Anti-Fracking01:06:29 Russia Gas Markets and Nord Stream01:08:52 Norway's Oil Wealth Playbook01:10:27 UK Bets on Carbon Capture01:11:37 Trees Beat Tech Wrap-Uphttps://x.com/CeeMacBeehttps://catherinemcbride.substack.com/Premeditated Industrial Destruction?: https://gbbc.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Premeditated-Industrial-Destruction-Final-6th-April-2026-with-added-security-issue-v2.pdf=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

On this episode: Redistricting happens every decade — but lately it's been making news on a much shorter cycle. Ballotpedia's redistricting expert Nathan Maxwell joins host Norman Leahy to walk through how the process actually works, from reapportionment basics to the three main methods states use to draw their maps. Then they get into why redistricting keeps landing in court, what recent Supreme Court rulings like Louisiana v. Calais have changed, and what to watch as new maps take shape ahead of the 2026 midterms. Plus: the 1812 origin of gerrymandering, a pre-Constitution power play by Patrick Henry, and a 28-sided monstrosity from 1957 Alabama.Learn more about the redistricting battles taking place across the country ahead of the 2026 midterms: https://ballotpedia.org/Redistricting_ahead_of_the_2026_elections Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
