Pour la MASTERCLASS "FinTech les fondamentaux", c'est ici : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocDans cet épisode, je reçois Alexandre Covello (PlayFast Ventures) pour une conversation vraiment sans filtre sur le marché secondaire du VC.Alors que les IPOs se raréfient, que le M&A patine et que les DPI stagnent, la question de la liquidité devient existentielle pour l'écosystème VC. Mais que se passe-t-il vraiment en coulisses ?Alexandre partage sa vision lucide, cash, parfois grinçante, d'un marché secondaire VC encore balbutiant en Europe, structuré à peine, dominé par l'opacité, les intérêts croisés et le silence collectif. Ensemble, ils explorent :Pourquoi les grands acteurs du secondaire ne veulent pas toucher au venturePourquoi la French Tech ressemble parfois à un système sans sortieComment la BPI, les SPVs sauvages et les WhatsApp d'intermédiation redessinent un "marché gris"Pourquoi le déni est si puissant et ce qu'il dit du systèmeCe que les GPs, LPs et fondateurs doivent entendre avant que le cycle ne se refermeUn échange brut, stratégique, sans langue de bois - pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre ce que le VC ne dit pas à voix haute.***************************Finscale, c'est bien plus qu'un podcast. C'est un écosystème qui connecte les acteurs clés du secteur financier à travers du Networking, du coaching et des partenariats.

În Franța, s-a deschis o adevărată polemică pe marginea așa-numitei „taxe Zucman”. Este vorba despre o propunere legislativă, inspirată de economistul de stânga Gabriel Zucman, care prevede aplicarea unei taxe pe marile averi. Proiectul de lege, aprobat în februarie a.c. de Adunarea Națională și respins, în luna iunie a.c., de Senatul Franței, vrea să taxeze cu 2% pe an activele mai mari de 100 de milioane de euro. Datele prezentate de specialiști arată că sunt 1.800 de proprietari care au averi mai mari de 100 milioane de euro care ar trebui să plătească taxa respectivă. Propunerea legislativă a venit de la partidul ecologist, iar analiștii cred că prevederea ar putea reveni în dezbaterea parlamentară o dată cu proiectul bugetului de stat pe anul viitor. Reprezentanții organizațiilor civice care susțin ideea cred că există un sprijin popular larg pentru taxarea marilor averi și fac presiuni asupra clasei politice pentru a promova legislația. Ideea unei taxe pe averi mari nu este străină nici guvernului. Doar că este văzută diferit de varianta Zucman, în sensul că, pe de o parte, baza activelor impozabile include active profesionale, ceea ce ar mări sfera impozitării și ar coborî pragul la două milioane de euro. Pe de altă parte, cota de impozitare ar fi fixată la un nivel de patru ori mai mic decât în varianta propunerii legislative ecologiste, respectiv la 0,5% din active. Propunerea Zucman este criticată vehement de oamenii de afaceri francezi. De exemplu, Bernard Arnault, proprietarul companiei LVMH și unul dintre cei mai bogați oameni din lume a caracterizat în termeni duri proiectul inspirat de la economistul francez. Arnault a declarat pentru publicația britanică Sunday Times că propunerea lui Gabriel Zucman „reflectă dorința acestuia de a dărâma economia franceză”. Omul de afaceri a spus despre Zucman că este un activist de extremă stânga care își folosește expertiza pseudo-academică pentru a-și promova ideologia care își propune să distrugă economia liberală. Cuvinte grele. Pe fond, Bernard Arnault a reamintit că este cel mai mare contribuabil dintre persoanele fizice franceze și unul dintre cei mari plătitori de taxe și impozite prin companiile pe care le deține. Economistul s-a apărat pe rețeaua X și în dispută au intrat și politicieni de stânga care, bineînțeles, au sărit în ajutorul lui Gabriel Zucman. Reprezentanți ai guvernului de la Paris au fost în ultima perioadă atenți la posibilele consecințe ale introducerii unei taxe pe averile mari. Este vorba despre riscul ca unii oameni de afaceri să își schimbe reședința fiscală sau să vândă o parte din acțiunile pe care le dețin, ceea ce ar face companiile lor vulnerabile în fața unor eventuale preluări progresive de către investitori străini. În contextul dezbaterilor pe marginea propunerii legislative s-a dat și exemplul unui start-up francez de succes din domeniul inteligenței artificiale, Mistral. Conform variantei Zucman, cei trei fondatori ai companiei ar trebui să plătească 60 milioane de euro pe an, bani pe care de fapt nu îi au în buzunar și pentru respecta regula ar fi nevoiți să cedeze din acțiunile firmei. Patronul LVMH nu este singurul care critică ideea legii. Nicolas Dufourcq, director al băncii de investiții BPI, consideră că proiectul este „comunist și absurd”, pentru că, de exemplu, în 10 ani statul ar lua 20% din capitalul unei companii mari. Acesta crede că în Franța se cultivă „o ură față de bogați”. Și președintele Medef, cea mai mare organizație patronală franceză, și-a exprimat îngrijorarea față de astfel de propuneri care cresc nivelul fiscalității. Și în România bântuie ideea supraimpozitării averilor mari. Dar, o veche vorbă spune că impozitarea este „arta de a jumuli o găină fără să țipe”. În Franța, nu se poate spune, în acest moment, că funcționează metoda.

In an era where free markets are increasingly shaped by state power, investors need to understand the nexus of geopolitics, political economy and exponential technologies as a tool of statecraft. BPI's Matt Pines and Zack Shapiro join Zack Cohen to examine how U.S. industrial policy, AI breakthroughs, and Bitcoin regulation are converging to reshape global markets.The conversation explores the latest market structure bill and its impact on Bitcoin liquidity, the strategic Bitcoin reserve as a potential geopolitical hedge, and what Intel's bailout signals about the rise of national champions and state-directed capital allocation.The discussion goes beyond policy into the heart of investing in an age of fiscal dominance and technological disruption. How should investors interpret the tension between free markets and government intervention?What does AI-driven productivity and labor displacement mean for macro volatility? And in a world where political cycles, liquidity cycles, and market cycles are increasingly intertwined, can Bitcoin serve as a neutral reserve asset, hedge, and beneficiary of state-led capitalism?

IS THAT PINK SLIME IN YOUR BURGERS Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 081625 Episode #: 1992 Original Broadcast Date: 05/24/2012   In March 2002, Gerald Zirnstein, then a USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) microbiologist, sent an internal email to colleagues at FSIS.  The email was about Beef Products Inc.'s (BPI) product, which USDA called Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB). Zirnstein had recently toured a BPI facility in South Sioux City, Nebraska.  In that email, he described the product as: “It's pink, it's pasty, and it's slimy looking… I called it pink slime.” The email wasn't meant for the public; it was a blunt, internal description of what he felt was mislabeling and economic fraud, since LFTB was being blended into ground beef and sold as if it were 100% pure meat. It remained obscure until 2009, when an investigative reporter obtained it during research into meat inspection loopholes.  Once the email surfaced publicly, the phrase “pink slime” stuck — and Zirnstein suddenly became an “involuntary whistleblower.”   So: he didn't send it to the press, or advocacy groups. He sent it to his own superiors and colleagues at FSIS, and it only came out years later when investigative reporters pried it loose. The product, officially known as Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB), is made from leftover scraps, spun in a centrifuge to remove fat, and treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill bacteria. Zirnstein warned that it wasn't real beef, but the USDA allowed it to be mixed into hamburger meat anyway, unlabeled, and sold to the public as ground beef. When the story broke nationally in 2012, the backlash was massive. Fast food giants like McDonald's, major grocery chains, and school lunch programs announced they would stop using it. Beef Products Inc. (BPI), the main producer, shut down plants, lost hundreds of millions in sales, and even sued ABC News in one of the largest defamation cases in history. That lawsuit settled in 2017 for at least $177 million. But here's the truth: there is growing suspicion that pink slime never went away, but instead was quietly rebranded and blended back into the meat supply, and for years, Americans have unknowingly been eating it in restaurants, grocery store beef, and processed foods. Zirnstein, who described himself as an “involuntary whistleblower,” paid dearly for telling the truth — pushed out of government service and effectively blacklisted from the industry. The question is simple — if they've been lying about what's in our beef, what else are they hiding from us? FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.

On this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser are joined by seasoned tech entrepreneur Selina Tobaccowala, founder of HomeBoost.com, to discuss a new consumer-driven solution that brings energy comfort diagnostics into the modern era. Selina, whose background includes co-founding Evite and serving as President/CTO at SurveyMonkey, now applies her tech and behavioral insights to a space closer to home: energy efficiency and comfort. Selina shares the inspiration behind HomeBoost, a unique platform that empowers homeowners to scan and diagnose thermal and energy issues in their home using a FLIR thermal camera and guided app. The HomeBoost experience pairs smart tools, a mobile app, and AI plus human auditing to generate actionable home energy assessments — all while remaining accessible and affordable for the average homeowner. The conversation dives into product design, user testing, partnerships with utilities and contractors, and the launch of a pro version that streamlines report generation for BPI-certified energy assessors. The team also explores broader themes, including the cultural value of skilled trades and how education models from Europe could inspire new respect and opportunity for trade careers in the U.S. The episode closes with a hopeful vision of HomeBoost expanding nationally and scaling its impact — one home, one assessment, and one contractor at a time. “It's not about selling energy — it's about helping people use less of it.” – Selina Tobaccowalla “We had scientific accuracy, but we hadn't built a product consumers liked — that took iteration.” – Selina “AI won't replace a tradesperson. That's why we need to value skilled trades more — like they do in Germany.” – Selina HomeBoost: https://www.homeboost.com/ Selina's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/selinat/   This episode was recorded in July 2025.

What future risk does quantum computing pose to Bitcoin, and how can we think of those risks in terms of their potential geopolitical outcomes?In this episode of Bitcoin Policy Hour, Matthew Pines, Zack Shapiro and Zack Cohen recap the "Crypto Week" legislative wins, followed by a deep dive on the "Q-Day" threat—the moment quantum computers become powerful enough to threaten Bitcoin's core cryptographic security.This leads to the question: with the ability to undermine Satoshi's coins, could a quantum breakthrough trigger a global monetary crisis, and ignite a new geopolitical arms race between the U.S., China, and tech giants?As Bitcoin becomes embedded in 401(k)s, sovereign reserves, and global ETFs, the risks—and consequences—go far beyond crypto and deep into the political economy of capital, social structure and geoeconomic competition.⭐ Join Bitcoin Magazine @ Bitcoin Asia 2025, Aug. 28-29 in Hong Kong!

The move is designed to monitor energy use, enforce tax collection, and stamp out unregistered operations in key mining regions. A separate law, still in draft form, would also allow courts to seize digital assets linked to mining deemed “illegal.” Miners who fail to comply will face fines of up to 2 million rubles (about $22,000). Six regions are already under a full mining ban until 2031. Overall, Russia's new Bitcoin mining registry poses serious risks to financial and civil liberties. By forcing miners to register equipment and comply with rules under threat of asset seizure or closure, the Kremlin gains greater surveillance and control over Bitcoin mining in Russia and offers a potential blueprint for other authoritarian regimes.

Resilience is the new currency of leadership. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than facts, brands, leaders, and governments are being tested like never before. In this episode of Change Makers, we speak to Ben LaBolt, former White House Communications Director and now President at BPI. With experience spanning the West Wing, City Hall, and global boardrooms, Ben shares insights into how organisations can navigate today's fractured media landscape. At the heart of our conversation is BPI's Resilience Index - groundbreaking research revealing what separates the brands that survive and thrive from those left vulnerable to misinformation and public mistrust. Drawing on lessons from politics and the private sector, Ben offers a blueprint for how leaders can strengthen their communications and build lasting reputational resilience.

Wolfgang Tillmans Rien ne nous y préparait – Tout nous y préparait Ce podcast accompagne la visite de l'exposition de Wolfgang Tillmans « Rien ne nous y préparait - Tout nous y préparait », présentée dans l'espace vide de la Bpi. Dans un entretien mené quelques semaines avant l'ouverture, l'artiste évoque la conception de ce projet unique dans sa carrière, et revient sur la production de certaines œuvres, depuis une perspective ancrée dans le « ici et maintenant ».

Over the years, American colleges and universities have made various efforts to provide prisoners with access to education. However, few of these outreach programs presume that incarcerated men and women can rise to the challenge of a truly rigorous college curriculum. The Bard Prison Initiative is different.In his book, College in Prison: Reading in an Age of Mass Incarceration (Rutgers University Press, 2017), Daniel Karpowitz chronicles how, since 2001, Bard College has provided hundreds of incarcerated men and women across the country access to a high-quality liberal arts education. Earning degrees in subjects ranging from Mandarin to advanced mathematics, graduates have, upon release, gone on to rewarding careers and elite graduate and professional programs. Yet this is more than just a story of exceptional individuals triumphing against the odds. It is a study in how the liberal arts can alter the landscape of some of our most important public institutions giving people from all walks of life a chance to enrich their minds and expand their opportunities.Drawing on fifteen years of experience as a director of and teacher within the Bard Prison Initiative, Daniel Karpowitz tells the story of BPI's development from a small pilot project to a nationwide network. At the same time, he recounts dramatic scenes from in and around college-in-prison classrooms pinpointing the contested meanings that emerge in moments of highly-charged reading, writing, and public speaking. Through examining the transformative encounter between two characteristically American institutions—the undergraduate college and the modern penitentiary—College in Prison makes a powerful case for why liberal arts education is still vital to the future of democracy in the United States. Interviewee: Daniel Karpowitz has worked on public and private sector systems change for over twenty-five years. He is the former director of policy and academics for the Bard Prison Initiative and the cofounder of the Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, an organization that launches and cultivates college-in-prison programs across the country.

Episode Notes One of Pride Connection's most inspiring and thought-provoking conversations was with then-Senate aide Laurel Hilbert—a shining example of courage, conviction, and the strength of the human spirit. In this episode, we revisit Laurel's extraordinary journey: from leaving his home country of Syria, to his time in Saudi Arabia, to arriving in the United States knowing only a few words of English—but armed with drawings, dreams, and unstoppable determination. Laurel speaks passionately about the universal truths of democracy, the resilience of the human condition, and what becomes possible when we align our spirit and purpose. But this conversation isn't just about where he's been—it's also about where he's going. Since the passing of his mentor and friend, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein—whom many of us remember as a fighter for justice and democracy—Laurel has taken time away from politics and even from the United States. In this deeply personal update, he shares his own version of an Eat, Pray, Love journey: finding love, learning how to live within grief, and reconnecting with his purpose. Now studying for finals and preparing for the LSAT, Laurel took time out of his busy schedule to reconnect with us, reflect on where life has taken him, and share why he still believes in the future of this country, our intersectional communities, and humanity itself. This powerful and timely episode is a reminder that strength comes in many forms—and that hope, when nurtured, can carry us through even the darkest times. Have thoughts or questions?

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser interview Jake Yurek, the co-founder of Pearl Edison, a platform designed to simplify the installation of energy-efficient systems for homeowners and contractors. Jake shares the origins of the company's name, inspired by Thomas Edison's first power station on Pearl Street, and explains how Pearl Edison partners with trusted entities like utilities and city governments to facilitate HVAC installations. Their approach aims to reduce customer acquisition costs for contractors while improving the decision-making process for homeowners.

Join Marquette as she interviews Eric Bennett,Managing Partner at Brain Capital Partners. Eric launched Brain Capital Partners and the Brain Superfund in 2025 to invest in brain science venture and growth capital. The Brain Superfund will focus on investing in companies in the areas of mental health and related disorders, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries such as concussions and strokes, health and wellness to enhance mental health and brain performance, and longevity. Companies will include those that offer new drugs and other therapeutics, neuro technology and devices, diagnostics, digital health, and clinical access. By investing in innovative companies with proven science, we aim to accelerate the development of breakthrough treatments and technologies that improve the quality of life and brain performance. The Fund's goal is to provide strong investment returns for our investors and make a meaningful societal impact.Eric began working with John Tolleson's single-family office in 1998 before co-founding Tolleson Wealth Management in 2000. He was Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Investment Committee, and Board Member, growing the firm from 3 people to 150.Eric's passion for brain science was accelerated in 2013, when he left Tolleson to become the founding Executive Director of the Brain Performance Institute (BPI) at the Center for BrainHealth – part of The University of Texas at Dallas. BPI focused on scaling evidence-based cognitive neuroscience programs and assessments, developed at the Center for BrainHealth, to larger populations. He was on the advisory board at the Center for BrainHealth for ten years and joined full-time in 2013 in a leadership role to build and grow BPI.

The following was a clip from a recent presentation, where I discuss the importance of data in improvement (seems obvious, yet not always present). I also share the unique situation that happened in the 1948 Presidential Election when polling data was biased towards the candidate that lost. As I dug deeper into this story, I don't see where they specifically mention the phone, but there was a problem with the accuracy of the polling. It also mentions that Truman was gaining momentum late in the election, and that wasn't reflected in the polls. Nonetheless, the Chicago Tribune ran their infamous headline that Dewey had won the election, when Truman actually won.You can learn more about that strange election at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_United_States_presidential_electionLearn more about BPI 7 Continuous Improvement Best Practices: ⁠https://mail.biz-pi.com/lss-best-practices-funnel⁠ Need help in your organization, or want to discuss your current work situation?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk!
