Welcome to this month's Answer Us Back, packed full of your responses to previous episodes of Answer Me This - or as it will soon be rebranded, Could Be True/Might Be Interesting. Today's track listing: In response to AMT420's question about illegal use of wet wipes, Eileen in Bridgewater, New Jersey sends an impassioned plea for us to consider the bidet! So, we did. We have previously considered the bidet, btw, in AMT361. A Swedish Person successfully survived their trip to London for which they asked for advice in AMT415 - but it ended up raising more questions, about bus ads for fruit, and being constantly asked about allergies. BJ, who in AMT414 asked about how to respond to people asking what BJ stands for, has feedback about going on vacations with your family, having listened to AMT420's contemplation of that topic WHILE ON VACATION WITH HER FAMILY. Therefore her suggestions of survival tactics are freshly tested. Since we're discussing vacations, Sarah from Plumpton in East Sussex wants to know whether you can count yourself as having been to a country if you've just stopped off at the airport there. And the question to which we allude, about what constitutes sex, is in AMT267. Rich in Oxford is an airline captain, so swoops in with The Actual Facts regarding AMT420's question about whether commercial planes have keys and would be easy to steal. In AMT419, Dan in Pennsylvania asked about which British produce he could grow on his farm in Pennsylvania; this continued in the last edition of Answer Us Back; now, Alyssa in Indianapolis supplies a great suggestion, plus a recommendation for a recent episode of Gastropod about when blackcurrants were illegal in the USA. And Margaret requests an update on the storied family houseplant which Olly mentioned all the way back in AMT258. If AMTs 1-420 left you with lingering questions and opinions, share them with us for future episodes of Answer Us Back.

Jeff Malec sits down with Josh Blanchfield of Avos to trace his path from physics at Harvard, poker pro, and 11 years at Bridgewater (including co-heading the trading desk during Lehman) to running a concentrated, risk-aware commodities and macro shop. Josh explains why China is “ground zero” for global commodities, detailing how its import cuts, stockpiling, and scrap policies have shaped oil, copper, gold, and uranium, and why understanding flows and participant behavior matters more than neat top-down supply-demand models. He breaks down how Avos blends macro with very granular micro, like Chinese spec flows around Lunar New Year, refinery outages, crack spreads, and uranium's inelastic buyers, to build convex, options-heavy trades that aim to capture upside tails while avoiding the classic commodity-fund blowup. Along the way, they dig into the realities of radical transparency at Bridgewater, the limits and promise of AI as a “research team we never hired,” the risks of an AI-driven labor shock, the true drivers of the dollar's dominance and petrodollar fears, why he's skeptical on small modular reactors but bullish nuclear, and how his Substack and broader investment philosophy challenge received wisdom on everything from munis to equity valuations. - SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-01:19= Intro01:20-09:01= From Boulder Trails to China's Oil Trap: Josh's Origin Story and DB Cooper Commodities09:02-19:27=China's Dollar Dilemma, Gold Grab, and the Real Story Behind Commodity Power19:28–30:36 = From Poker Tables to Lehman's Collapse: Josh's Bridgewater Baptism by Fire30:37–37:57 = AI, Jobs, and Impossible Growth: Rethinking the Macro Behind the Magnificent Seven38:38–49:04 = Gold Flows, Burning Refineries, and the Uranium Edge49:05–56:26 = Capacity, Convexity, and Why Small Nuclear Isn't So Small56:27–01:09:15 = Munis, Myths, and Moneyball: Josh's Skeptical Playbook and Pop-Culture LensFrom the Episode:PODCAST:“Dr. Copper”: From Chilean Mines to Chinese Smelters to AI Data Centers in the US – with Kurt Nelson & Natalie Scott-GrayPODCAST:Going Nuclear: How Uranium is Powering Portfolios with Trevor Hall & Justin HuhnPODCAST:OpenSnow's Joel Gratz built a Pod Shop for Powder Days: the PMs are Meteorologists and the Returns are FaceshotsBLOG:The Definitive List of the Best Investing MoviesFollow along with Josh and Avos on LinkedIn and Substack, and be sure to check out avos.co to learn more about what they are up to.Don't forget to subscribe toThe Derivative, follow us on Twitter at@rcmAlts andsign-up for our blog digest.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

Mike and Beau react to some of biggest NFL stories that happened over the weekend, including Detroit Lions veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater deciding to step away from the team amid training camp, officially being placed on the reserve/retired list ahead of yesterday's practice, and the Lions signing veteran quarterback Joshua Dobbs to a one-year, $1.425 million contract with $475,000 fully guaranteed in the wake of Bridgewater's retirement. Mike and Beau also explain why they think Bridgewater's retirement doesn't 100% feel like the end for him.

The Daily DLP from the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down all the observations and takeaways from the team's second padded training camp practice. Tuesday, August 4th saw a few players rise and fall on the practice field at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park. Among the big winners was RB Jabari Small. With Sione Vaki out with a broken nose suffered in Monday's practice, and with Jahmyr Gibbs still not practicing, Small stepped up on the depth chart and looked like he belonged. His quick footwork and nifty cuts created a couple of big gains for the Lions offense. Teddy Bridgewater had his best day of training camp. It was certainly his most accurate, though the final drive in team drills saw the veteran backup QB fall back a bit. This was the first practice of the summer where Bridgewater looked clearly better than undrafted rookie Luke Altymer. Devin White showed why the Lions signed the former All-Pro LB. He is fast and he closes hard on the ball in the run game. Coverage looks to be an issue, as he ran himself out of position on a couple of different routes. He had some nice reps with the first-team defense, better than when he played in the nickel package with some reserves. Ahmed Hassanein had his best day of the summer, too. The fan favorite EDGE worked well playing outside Mekhi Wingo in heavier packages. Hassanein did appear to suffer a minor groin or upper leg injury late in the practice that caused him to take to the turf a couple of times, but he didn't seem distressed when talking to reporters after practice. His bull rush is getting better by the day. Hassanein also wasn't shy about getting after some offensive linemen after plays, showing fire that the team needed. Hassanein's fire was matched on the offense by WR Greg Dortch. The word “feisty” came up twice in the notes. It's not all negative-tinged either; Dortch and rookie UDFA LB Erick Hunter started jawing a bit after a special teams rep. After Dortch threw Hunter the ball, the two came together and Dortch appeared to praise the youngster, tapping Hunter's helmet and clapping. It was not a good day for Keith Abney, as the rookie CB struggled. Veteran Ennis Rakestraw also got victimized with a bad coverage lapse. It didn't look like the best day for new starting center Cade Mays either, notably in the run game--though he did have a couple of nice reps. That's training camp. Good players have bad days, and lesser players rise up at times. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #teddybridgewater #detroitlionstrainingcamp #lionscamp #gregdortch #isaacteslaa #keithabney #rockya-sin #trevornowaske #devinwhite #anthonyfirkser #jabarismall Learn more about your ad choices.

We are continuing our investigation into the implications of the Economic Singularity, the time when we need a new economic system because full automation by AI means people can no longer obtain the resources they need by doing jobs.Our guest today is Oliver Ritchie, the UK Policy Lead at the Future of Life Institute. Previously, he was a Senior Fellow at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy, and a Research Scholar at GovAI. He also spent over six years in policy formation at the Treasury, which is where many of the brightest minds in UK public sector work, and where the really big decisions are made, because the Treasury hold the purse strings.We wanted to have Oliver on the show because he has written two thought-provoking articles on the Economic Singularity, a paper called “The Fiscal Challenge of Advanced AI”, and a Substack post which summarises it, called “Can we afford to support workers whose jobs are displaced by AI?” Selected follow-ups:"Oliver Ritchie" - Future of Life Institute"Return on Intelligence" - Oliver's Substack"Can we afford to support workers whose jobs are displaced by AI?" - Substack article by Oliver"The Fiscal Challenge Of Advanced AI" (PDF) - article by Oliver"The case for G20 coordination on wealth taxes" - article by Liam Byrne"US super-rich 'pay almost no income tax'" - BBC"Trump to meet AI leaders to discuss US investment in their companies" - BBC"Getting Ahead of AI's Economic Disruption" - Windfall Trust"AI's Role in Reshaping Power Distribution" - Future of Life Institute project"Can you safely build something that may kill you?"

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with Ray Dalio. Ray Dalio built Bridgewater Associates into one of the most influential investment firms in the world. But in this archive conversation, James is less interested in the headline version of success and more interested in the painful turning point that made Ray rethink everything.At 34, Ray's business nearly failed. He had been confident—by his own description, arrogant—and a wrong market call left him broke, humbled, and forced to decide whether to quit or rebuild.That failure became the origin story behind many of his principles.Ray explains that the experience taught him to fear being wrong in a useful way. Instead of retreating, he began seeking out the smartest people who disagreed with him. He learned to triangulate among independent thinkers, write down his decision criteria, study how similar events had happened in history, and build systems that reduced risk without giving up upside.The conversation then moves into the central ideas of Principles: pain plus reflection equals progress; failure equals success if you turn it into learning; and every person should write down the principles they use to deal with reality.James and Ray discuss the five-step process for success: set audacious goals, identify the problems blocking those goals, diagnose root causes, design ways around them, and execute. Ray emphasizes that no one is good at all five steps, which is why people need others who can supply the strengths they lack.A large part of the episode focuses on Bridgewater's culture. Ray explains idea meritocracy, radical truth, radical transparency, thoughtful disagreement, and believability-weighted decision-making. In his view, the goal is not democracy or autocracy. The goal is to get the best ideas on the table, stress test them, and make better decisions.James pushes on the human side of this: what happens when disagreement feels like a fight? Ray answers by describing the “two yous”—the thoughtful, logical self and the emotional, reactive self—and why writing down principles can clarify which values bring people together and which values separate them.The conversation closes with habits, meditation, creativity, the economy, debt cycles, wealth inequality, cryptocurrencies, and Ray's formula for a successful life: dreams plus reality plus determination.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Bridgewater's assets, Ray's Forbes net worth, the economic cycle, cryptocurrencies, interest rates, central-bank policy, and current market conditions reflect the original recording period.This episode discusses investing, markets, debt cycles, and cryptocurrencies, but it should not be treated as financial advice.What You'll Learn;Why Ray Dalio sees his early career failure as one of the most important events of his life.How being wrong pushed him toward radical open-mindedness.Why Ray believes pain plus reflection equals progress.How to turn mistakes into principles you can use next time.Why failure can become success if it produces learning.The five-step process Ray uses for achieving goals.Why no one is good at every step of success.How thoughtful disagreement can improve decision-making.What an idea meritocracy is and why Bridgewater built around it.How believability-weighted decision-making differs from democracy or hierarchy.Why Ray believes meaningful work and meaningful relationships must go together.How writing down principles clarifies relationships, teams, and personal choices.Why habits control so much of life—and how they can be changed.How meditation helps Ray access calm, creativity, and clearer thinking.How Ray thinks about debt cycles, economic risk, wealth inequality, and cryptocurrencies.Timestamped Chapters:[03:00] The Failure That Changed EverythingJames asks about the early mistake that left Ray's business nearly finished at age 34.[04:06] Humility Balancing AudacityRay explains how going broke forced him to calm down, rethink risk, and become more open-minded.[05:46] Finding Smart People Who DisagreeHow Ray learned to triangulate among independent thinkers and raise the probability of being right.[06:59] Understanding the Mechanics of RealityRay revisits the Mexico debt crisis, the dollar, deflationary forces, and what he missed.[09:06] Radical Open-Mindedness and Idea MeritocracyThe failure led Ray to build a company around thoughtful disagreement and independent thinking.[11:00] Write Down Your Decision CriteriaRay urges listeners to write down the principles they use to make decisions.[14:21] Money Has No Intrinsic ValueRay explains why money only matters as a tool for getting what you actually value.[15:30] Learning to Fail WellRay criticizes the education system for rewarding right answers instead of teaching people how to learn from failure.[18:02] Pain Plus Reflection Equals ProgressRay explains why pain is a signal and why reflection turns it into usable knowledge.[20:23] The Five-Step Process for SuccessGoals, problems, diagnosis, design, and execution become Ray's loop for improving life and work.[23:38] Diagnosing the Root CauseJames asks Ray to identify the root cause of his early failure, and Ray names his own arrogance.[24:55] Joseph Campbell and Returning the BoonRay connects The Hero with a Thousand Faces to his decision to pass along the principles he had learned.[28:06] Failure Equals SuccessRay explains how he trained himself to see failures as puzzles that produce “gems.”[31:25] When Principles ChangeJames asks when Ray has failed at his own principles, and Ray discusses the challenge of leadership transition and governance.[34:20] Can People Really Disagree With the Boss?Ray pushes back on the idea that hierarchy prevents honest disagreement at Bridgewater.[35:41] Meaningful Work and Meaningful RelationshipsRay explains why radical truth and radical transparency are designed to support both work quality and human connection.[37:19] Believability-Weighted Decision-MakingRay describes how disagreements can be resolved by weighing the judgment of people with relevant expertise.[42:12] How to Handle Dysfunctional OrganizationsRay advises people to define the terms of their relationships and ask how disagreements should be handled.[48:11] Would Everyone End Up With the Same Principles?James asks whether writing down principles would eventually lead people toward similar truths.[49:10] The Two YousRay explains the conflict between the logical self and the emotional self, especially when disagreement triggers fight-or-flight.[51:10] Changing Direction at Any AgeJames asks how people stuck in old patterns can find the courage to start again.[52:46] Habits, Failure, and Reprogramming YourselfRay describes his most valuable habit: treating problems and failures as puzzles to solve.[56:03] Health, Meditation, and CreativityRay discusses where he has and has not built strong habits, and why meditation has been so important to him.[59:07] Meditation as a State of Calm ControlRay explains how meditation quiets the racing mind and helps create equanimity and creativity.[01:00:52] Finding the PullJames asks how a young person can identify goals, and Ray recommends self-discovery, experimentation, and reflection.[01:04:06] How the Economic Machine WorksRay outlines productivity, short-term debt cycles, long-term debt cycles, central-bank policy, and where the economy sat at the time.[01:07:29] Two Economies and Wealth InequalityRay explains why averages can hide the economic reality of the bottom 60% versus the top 40%.[01:11:00] Cryptocurrencies and BlockchainRay distinguishes blockchain technology from individual crypto assets and compares the space to the early internet.[01:14:26] Dreams + Reality + DeterminationRay closes with his formula for a successful life and why reality must be understood, not avoided.Additional Resources:Ray Dalio's official Principles site — Ray's home

The road trip crosses into Massachusetts, and the Bay State delivers two of the strangest files in the entire eastern catalog.It starts on a dark stretch of Farm Street in Dover in April of 1977, where a seventeen-year-old named Bill Bartlett watched something creep along a stone wall that no one has ever explained, a spindly, hairless creature with a huge watermelon head and glowing eyes.Within twenty-six hours it was seen twice more by three other teenagers who had never compared notes, and then it vanished forever, leaving behind matching sketches, a police chief who vouched for every witness, and a case so stubborn it made a small New England town famous on the other side of the world. From there the episode heads forty miles south, where the manicured suburbs give way to the Hockomock Swamp, five thousand flooded acres the Wampanoag named the place where spirits dwell, and where the reports never stopped. An armed police search in 1970, a fur trapper stalked from the bank of a black waterway, Joseph DeAndrade's famous Clay Banks sighting, a kayaker who watched something rise out of a crouch on the Town River, footfalls booming across the frozen ice of Lake Nippenicket, and a farmer whose family spent sixty years sharing a fence line with something that never once introduced itself.One state, two monsters, and a swamp with a middle no one has ever reached.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Episode 427: In the summer of 1934, John Sackville Labatt was one of the most recognizable names in Canada. The fifty-three-year-old president of John Labatt Limited had spent nearly two decades running one of the country's largest and oldest breweries, a family business built across three generations and tested by Prohibition, the Depression, and the rum-running trade that kept it alive through both. On the morning of August 14, he left his Lake Huron summer home running late for a meeting and took a shortcut through the forest on a little-used dirt road outside Sarnia. What happened on that road set off the largest manhunt in Canadian history, triggered Canada's first kidnapping trial, and sent an innocent man to prison for a crime he had nothing to do with.

Most people think in binary — it will happen or it won't. A former CIA field officer says that mental habit is quietly destroying your decisions, your business, and your shot at the life you actually want. Anthony Vinci spent years recruiting intelligence sources in active war zones, advising presidents and generals on high-stakes decisions, and then managing investments at Bridgewater Associates under Ray Dalio — one of the most disciplined decision-making environments on the planet. After leaving government, he built a company from the ground up without knowing what an LLC was, wrote The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, and launched Veeo, a forecasting and scenario-planning platform now used by hedge funds, corporations, and governments. His hard-won insight: the cost of bad decisions is massive, and it follows you forever — but the right system changes everything. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "chunking" risk is the CIA method for taking action without freezing up — Anthony breaks down how he planned missions in Baghdad piece by piece, and how to apply the exact same framework to business decisions and big life swings The "compartmentalize risk" principle that explains why the world's biggest risk-takers (Special Forces operators, entrepreneurs) are often deeply conservative in other areas of their lives — and how to deliberately design yours Why stubbornness + optimism = resilience — and the hidden flip side that destroys most entrepreneurs who don't know when to stop The binary thinking trap: why saying "it's more likely than not" is dramatically less useful than saying "it's a 55% chance vs. a 90% chance" — and why that gap is where elite decision-makers live What Ray Dalio's Bridgewater taught Anthony about the one non-negotiable trait you need in your inner circle — and the exact type of person you must limit access to your energy Connect with Anthony Vinci www.anthonyvinci.com Connect with Kwame: Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn negotiateanything.com Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life! @kwamenegotiates across all social platforms
On the afternoon of September 19, 1978, 13-year-old Carl Bridgewater set off on his usual newspaper round through the village of Wordsley in the West Midlands. A quiet, hardworking schoolboy who loved fishing, football and Scouts, Carl had only recently started earning pocket money delivering newspapers after school. With just a handful of deliveries left to make, he arrived at an isolated farmhouse where he was due to leave a paper for the older residents. He never made it home.Carl's murder shocked the UK. Detectives launched one of the largest murder investigations the Midlands had ever seen, chasing hundreds of leads, interviewing members of the criminal underworld, searching rivers for the murder weapon and offering substantial rewards for information. What followed appeared to be a major breakthrough, but the investigation would eventually become one of the most controversial in British criminal justice history.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the unsolved murder of Carl Bridgewater. We explore Carl's life and the close-knit family he left behind, the events of his final paper round, the huge police investigation that followed, the convictions of the so-called Bridgewater Four, and the extraordinary legal battle that exposed a shocking miscarriage of justice. We also look at the theories that continue to surround the case and ask the question that has remained unanswered for nearly 50 years: who really killed Carl Bridgewater?If you know something about what happened at Yew Tree Farm all those years ago, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem, it's never too late to come forward.

Defense jumps routes and takes the ball The Detroit Lions defense seized Day 1 in Allen Park. The first seven-on-seven snap set the tone. Jared Goff tried a short out to Amon-Ra St. Brown. DJ Reed broke it up and put it on the turf. The coverage locked in from there. Reader stayed hip-to-hip on a vertical the next rep and later picked off Teddy Bridgewater by beating the throw to the sideline. Chuck Clark, playing deep middle with Kirby out and Branch sidelined, tracked an overthrown ball from Goff and intercepted it. Undrafted rookie Amaris Brown undercut Luke Altmaier on a Texas route to Jabari Small and ripped the ball away, then sprinted the other direction. Khalil Dorsey and Loren Strickland each dropped would-be interceptions. Trevor Nowaski erased a Bridgewater throw with a full-extension pass breakup. Clark said the defensive backs met to study recent practice film and route concepts. He credited DJ Reed for organizing it. The emphasis was clear: take the ball and do something with it after the catch. Offense snapshots: Jamo, Gibbs, and Meeks at tight end Jameson Williams had a teachable sequence. He dropped a low throw on the move, asked for the same ball, then snatched it out front in stride on the next rep. St. Brown had a mixed day against tight coverage. Greg Corrao flashed rare stop-start quickness and clean hands. His instant change of direction stood out. Jackson Meeks lined up only at tight end and took the No. 2 reps with Sam LaPorta not participating and Tyler Conklin not seen in uniform. Meeks is lighter than Isaac Teslaw but tracked the ball well and finished. Position drills forced receivers to find the ball over the shoulder; Corrao and Meeks handled it smoothly. Jameer Gibbs reminded everyone about NFL speed. He caught a swing, planted, and outran the angle. The burst was startling up close. Fights, fixes, and the trenches A dust-up broke out between Anthony Lucas and Davis Cochran. Ennis Rakestraw stepped in as peacemaker. They went at it again on the next rep before assistant coach Dan Skipper ended it quickly. Earlier, OL coach Hank Fraley joked that Skipper has to remember he can't fight anymore. The sideline timing was perfect. Second-team offensive line notes: Larry Borom at left tackle, Juice Scruggs at left guard, and Seth McLaughlin at center. Tate Ratledge volunteered snaps during a running back drill and looked natural in a pinch. Lacy saw first-team defensive end work opposite Aidan Hutchinson ahead of Martin Turner. Quarterbacks and the red zone hoop Goff, Bridgewater, and Altmaier struggled early on a red zone hoop drill meant to simulate high-point fades. All three missed their first two tries. QB coach Mark Brunell stepped in, demonstrated, and reset the group. Goff then drilled two. Bridgewater hit one of two. Altmaier rattled the rim twice but showed quick correction. Roger McCreery had a rough day carrying crossers and drags. Joe Bachie spiked an Altmaier checkdown with a smart read and well-timed jump. Day 1 of minicamp belonged to the Detroit Lions defensive backs. Day 2 awaits. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lionsminicamp #gregdortch #djreed #trevornowaske #chuckclark #jamesonwilliams #jahmyrgibbs #jaredgoff #markbrunell Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Unholy conversations is a rare interview with Nir Bar Dea, CEO of Bridgewater—the world's largest hedge fund. Bar Dea moves beyond market trends, framing our current moment as a volatile collision between a changing world order, and an unprecedented technological revolution fueled by AI. He offers a sobering perspective on why the comfort of the last several decades has perhaps left us less resilient than the generations before us, urging listeners to view history not as destiny, but as a lesson in the necessity of strength during turbulent times. The conversation turns personal, too: Bar Dea talks about the toll of his own service in the Israeli Air Force, what it's like being Israeli in New York since October 7th, and why he believes Israel's younger generation might be its greatest asset. 00:00 Intro 01:10 The Iran-US deal and why timing doesn't matter 06:25 Trump as outcome, not cause 09:30 Tough love: why we feel overwhelmed 10:59 Israel's resilient next generation 24:49 The AI infrastructure race — and Israel's gap 27:11 Being Israeli in New York since October 7th 32:54 The hidden cost of IDF service 35:02 Bridgewater's radical transparency culture 41:51 Rebuilding from Nir Oz — a story of hope Watch us on YouTube: Follow Unholy and learn more about the pod: https://unholy-podcast.lovable.app/ Join our Patreon community to get access to bonus episodes, discounts on merch and more: https://bit.ly/UnholyPatreon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
After years leading recruiting and talent systems at companies like Bridgewater, Electronic Arts, and Dolby, Jeff Hunter came to believe that many of our assumptions about talent, hiring, and performance are fundamentally wrong.

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen sits down with Aidan Madigan-Curtis, Partner at Eclipse, for a sharp conversation on physical AI, frontier tech, robotics, manufacturing, and the future of building in the real world. Aidan shares her unlikely path from a small mountain town in Penticton to Harvard, Bridgewater, Apple, Samsara, and now Eclipse, where she invests at the intersection of atoms and bits.She breaks down what factory floors taught her that most software-first founders miss, why physical AI is becoming one of the biggest venture capital opportunities of the next decade, and what the U.S. and Canada must understand about China's manufacturing advantage. From launching the first Apple Watch manufacturing lines to scaling Samsara's hardware operations and investing in autonomous excavation, robotics, energy, defense, and supply chain technology, Aidan brings a rare operator-investor perspective to one of the most important shifts happening in tech today.Buckle up to understand why the next wave of AI won't just live in software; it will reshape factories, robots, infrastructure, and the physical world around us.The Unlikely Path from Penticton to Harvard (00:04:25)Aidan shares the wild story of growing up in a tiny Canadian mountain town, applying to Harvard almost by accident, and nearly missing her acceptance letter because it sat undelivered in a PO box. She reflects on how community support, risk-taking, and a willingness to swing big shaped the rest of her career.Bridgewater, Systems Thinking, and Conviction Investing (00:09:00)Aidan explains how Bridgewater's fundamental, systematic approach to markets shaped how she evaluates venture opportunities today. She breaks down why Eclipse starts with deep theses, pressure-tests industries, and backs founders before the market fully understands where the world is going.The Factory Floor Lesson Every Founder Needs (00:17:27)Drawing from her time launching Apple Watch manufacturing lines, Aidan explains why the best founders must balance brutal honesty with extreme optimism. She argues that founders who get “high on their own supply” lose touch with reality, while founders without belief cannot rally a team to do the impossible.Why Physical AI Was the Bet Before It Was Cool (00:20:34)Aidan walks through her career pattern of choosing the “unsexy” path before it becomes obvious: Bridgewater before it was famous, Apple supply chain when software was eating the world, Samsara before industrial IoT was hot, and Eclipse before physical AI became a major venture category.China's “Vibe Manufacturing” Advantage (00:28:37)Aidan unpacks Eclipse's China Field Notes and explains what “vibe manufacturing” really means: a deeply layered, highly competitive, fast-moving manufacturing ecosystem that can turn ideas into physical products at extraordinary speed. She discusses China's compounding advantage in tooling, suppliers, human capital, robotics, and government-backed industrial competition.Where the U.S. Is Ahead and Behind in Robotics (00:37:18)Aidan breaks down the robotics race between the U.S. and China. She says the U.S. remains highly competitive in embodied AI, autonomy, and goal-oriented machine intelligence, but lags badly in manufacturing depth, actuators, magnets, physical iteration speed, and lower-level robotic control.The Robotics Data Problem (00:41:14)Aidan explains why video data alone is not enough to build general-purpose robotics. She discusses the need for proprioception, haptics, physics data, and real-world interaction data, plus why China's robotic data farms could become a major strategic advantage.Canada's Opportunity in AI, Energy, and Deep Tech (00:44:47)As a Canadian-born investor, Aidan lays out where Canada can win: talent attraction, smart immigration policy, abundant clean energy, AI infrastructure, university research, biotech, quantum, defense, and strategic government offtake. She argues Canada has the raw ingredients to become a major player if it moves with urgency.Eclipse's Interest in Canadian Founders (00:49:20)Aidan shares that Eclipse is already investing in Canada, including companies in Toronto and Vancouver, and is actively interested in deep tech and physical AI founders coming out of Canada's strongest ecosystems.About Aidan Madigan-CurtisAidan Madigan-Curtis is a Partner at Eclipse, where she invests in physical AI, robotics, manufacturing, energy, defense, supply chain, and frontier technology companies. Before Eclipse, she was an early executive at Samsara, helping scale the industrial IoT company from pre-product to public company. She previously worked on Apple's manufacturing team for the first Apple Watch and began her career at Bridgewater, where she developed a systems-thinking approach to markets and complex industries.Connect with Aidan Madigan-Curtis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidan-madigan-curtis/Visit the Eclipse website: https://eclipse.capital/Connect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

(19:48 - 23:04) Legal Sea Foods is now selling a massive lobster roll designed to feed eight people for a cool $375. That's roughly the cost of a decent airline ticket, a car payment, or three weeks of groceries. LBF and Adam 12 are not a fan of the price! (23:04 - 26:10) A 17-year-old Stoneham kid spent two years singing karaoke outside a shopping plaza, becoming a beloved local character and making shoppers smile along the way.

The greatest risk we face today isn’t that AI is becoming “too smart”; it’s that we are beginning to treat this technology as an infallible “oracle” rather than a capable, yet fundamentally fallible, “intern.” As the baseline for production drops to zero, the economy of human value is shifting away from raw output and toward the only two things a machine cannot authentically replicate: judgment and intent. How should we use AI to augment and enhance our professional output, instead of simply automating and potentially replacing our value? How can we navigate the “Calculator Trap” to ensure our foundational critical thinking doesn’t atrophy? Join us for a conversation with Ted Yang, an MIT-trained engineer and seasoned entrepreneur who has founded more than twelve companies. A former finance executive at legendary firms like Bridgewater and Citadel, Ted is an Emmy-nominated author and a member of Connecticut’s Board of Regents for Higher Education. His new book, Ageless Peak Performance, provides a practical playbook for professionals looking to thoughtfully adopt AI to expand human capability and opportunity. Hosted by: Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle.

For Dom Z., Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts was an endless buffet of opportunities. In this episode of Autism Goes to College, Dom shares with Katharine how he made it across the finish line while immersing himself in campus life, student government, clubs, and the music scene. Plus, he updates us on his personal quest to make life better for every student on campus who might have invisible challenges.Dom loved the academic coaching available at BSU, got a few college accommodations that helped him with note taking and test taking, and his academic path zig-zagged a bit. He credits a professor with guiding him to stick with his major of Communication Sciences & Disorders, while also looking for creative ways to build a career outside of the traditional speech-language professions.Advocacy for autistic and neurodiverse college students, how to do college without burning out, disability accommodations, academic coaching, campus belonging, and ways to make grad school work when you also need to work are all part of this conversation.Support the show
Send us Fan Mail We were told AI would give us more time. For a lot of people, it has done the opposite. More tools to learn. More decisions to make about which tools. More anxiety about whether we are using them right, or falling behind if we are not. There is a new kind of fatigue showing up quietly in people's lives, and almost nobody is naming it yet. It is not burnout from AI taking your job. It is burnout from using AI. Sana sits down with Ted Yang, MIT engineer, former finance executive at Bridgewater and Citadel, founder of more than 12 companies, and author of Ageless Peak Performance, to flip the conversation. AI, used the right way, should not add to your cognitive burden. It should quietly lift some of it off you. They cover the four principles for healthy AI use, why your judgment becomes more valuable with age, and why protecting your humanity is the work. About the Guest: Ted Yang is an MIT engineer, entrepreneur, and former finance executive at Bridgewater and Citadel who has founded more than 12 companies. A worldwide speaker at TEDx, South Summit, Startup Grind, and university commencements, he serves on Connecticut's Board of Regents for Higher Education and is raising a family of two special needs children. His book Ageless Peak Performance: The Playbook for AI-Powered Excellence releases May 18, with endorsements from Governor Ned Lamont and former US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. Key Takeaways: AI burnout is real, and it is not about the technology itself. It is about using AI to do more of everything instead of using it to rebalance what you carry. Cognitive overload happens when you have too much to keep track of at a good quality level. Even with AI doing the work, your brain still has to manage it. Pattern recognition and judgment improve with age. AI does not replace experienced professionals — used well, it amplifies the very capabilities they have spent decades building. Treat AI like an intern, not an oracle. It is fast and capable, but it makes confident mistakes and does not admit them. Aim first, then accelerate. Make AI flow. Keep your judgment at the center. The four principles for a healthier relationship with AI. AI is not yet ready to replace trained therapists. The path from theory to safe practice took psychoanalysis decades. AI is in a similar early stage and should not be used in place of mental health professionals.

The World is Stranger Than You Think. History isn't just a collection of dates and names; it's a tapestry woven with threads of the unexplained. Tonight, we open the archive to explore ten of the most chilling and baffling accounts ever recorded. From the shifting, jagged "vortex" of the Bennington Triangle to the terrifying chemical mist of the Mad Gasser, these stories defy logic and challenge our understanding of reality. We'll walk the Roman roads hidden beneath York, witness the spectral fury of the Marathon battlefield, and look into the faceless eyes of the Gauthier Ghost. These aren't just stories; they are the puzzles that keep investigators, researchers, and historians awake at night. In this episode, we deep-dive into: The Bennington Triangle: Where hikers vanish into the distorted woods. The Amherst Poltergeist: A haunting so violent the walls themselves demanded blood. The Man in the Iron Mask: The prisoner whose identity was a king's greatest secret. The Bridgewater Triangle: Massachusetts' own hub of cryptids and strange lights. And 6 other cases that remain completely unsolved.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

A stalemated war. Fractured alliances. A rival waiting in the wings. It feels to me that we're having an “end of the American empire” moment. My guest this week, Ray Dalio, is an unlikely prophet of doom — the billionaire Bridgewater investor conquered Wall Street by studying history and mastering global trends.

Moise :: SSRNBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Hoarding can look a lot like “being responsible,” especially right before retirement when every headline makes the future feel fragile. We take a listener's detailed numbers and use them to talk about a problem we see all the time: spending that never catches up with the life you actually want. If your future expenses are likely to decline in real terms, your personal inflation rate may be lower than CPI, and a fixed rule can quietly push you into over-saving instead of living. We share a simple, practical idea for breaking that pattern: create a visible spending bucket, spend intentionally, then review what brought real value and what didn't. Then we shift into a deep question from a data-driven listener who tried to test Bridgewater's four quadrant model using growth and inflation data. We explain why these relationships are probabilistic, why short time frames can look like a noisy blob, and where to look for research that connects macro regimes to asset returns. Along the way we revisit the roles different diversifiers can play in a risk parity portfolio: Treasury bonds as recession insurance, managed futures and commodities for ugly inflation shocks, and gold as a strange but useful diversifier when the world gets weird. We wrap with our weekly portfolio review and a quick read on what's been working lately across stocks, small cap value, bonds, gold, REITs, commodities and managed futures, including results from our sample portfolios and a few leveraged experiments.
