As Stella rolls up her sleeves for another day at Brookfield, David mentions a job he's seen advertised that might be a good fit for her. Stella admits she saw it but dismissed it as too much of an executive role. She's more farm than strategy. David argues she has all the experience and ideas they need – she should apply. She has nothing to lose. Stella agrees to give it some thought. Later grateful Pip thanks her dad for talking Stella round – she's filling in the application right now. Pip loves how her parents have accepted Stella into the family and are open to her ideas.Against her better judgement Chelsea's returned to the golf club with keen Zainab. She's worried that Lynda's sent the email about Lawrence – what if they see him? Zainab reassures her; there's nothing they can do about it anyway. Martyn arrives and sense something's wrong, so they explain about the blackmail threat. He offers to meet them later to discuss it further. Chelsea unwittingly divulges to Martyn that Justin's buying more land. Over lunch Martyn admits to finding Lawrence's behaviour bizarre. Right on cue Lawrence appears. He protests that Chelsea and Zainab are turning Ambridge against him, and Martyn's accusation of harassment just proves how he's also been taken in by them. After unacceptable insult towards Zainab, Martyn demands Lawrence apologises, but Lawrence compounds the situation and Zainab throws her drink over him in response. She instantly regrets it but Chelsea and Martyn think she was brave. Zainab just feels she's made it all worse.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode takes a lighthearted but well-informed look at funeral directing in Ambridge, using real-world research and practice as its frame.Funeral Directing in the UK through an Ambridge Lens - Abi PattendenWhat might funeral provision look like in Ambridge? This paper considers current UK funeral trends and applies them to the village's farming community on the edge of Birmingham.It imagines how existing Ambridge businesses could diversify: farms becoming natural burial grounds, Fallon catering for funeral receptions, or Brookfield's barn hosting gatherings. Could the proposed electric charging station even house a funeral directors? Drawing on demographic knowledge, past storylines and sector research, the paper explores how such services might emerge, while also noting how other continuing dramas have embedded funeral businesses into their communities.About the speakerAbi Pattenden has been a Funeral Director for 16 years and served as President of the National Association of Funeral Directors in 2018–19. She has previously presented at Academic Archers on funeral provision for Joe Grundy, Ambridge's death rates, and on comparing Rob Titchener to Shakespeare's Iago. Abi has an academic background in Shakespearean theatre and an ongoing research interest in funerals, having co-authored papers on topics such as configurational eulogies and hybrid funerals through Aberdeen University's Care in Funerals project.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Should you invest in Canada or the United States? In this Wealthion interview, RockLinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum explains the critical differences between the two markets and where investors can still find overlooked opportunities in Canada. The U.S. dominates with unmatched size, liquidity, and technology leadership, while Canada remains concentrated in energy, resources, and banks. This creates very different risk/return profiles for investors. Jonathan covers: Why the U.S. market is deeper, more diversified, and a global growth engine. Canada's heavy reliance on commodities, and why this makes returns more cyclical. The impact of currency swings (CAD vs. USD) on cross-border returns. Tax considerations for Canadians buying U.S. stocks (and vice versa). Why U.S. markets have outperformed for decades — and whether that will continue. Hidden Canadian gems like Cameco, Franco-Nevada, and Wheaton Precious Metals, and global firms like Brookfield and Constellation Software. How Wellum allocates today: ~65% U.S., ~35% Canada & Europe.
My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, former National Leader of CHP Canada. We discuss his “Open Letter to Mark Carney” regarding the PM's recent announcement that he supports the creation of yet-another “Palestinian State.” We also touch on the CBC and Mark Carney's financial stake in “green energy” initiatives and “tiny houses.”
Trump's Street-Clearing Blueprint, Canada's Urban Chaos, and Carney's Corporate Conflicts Richard tackles U.S. President Donald Trump's bold executive order to combat homelessness, addiction, and urban disorder—a no-nonsense plan to clear America's streets. With Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver facing similar chaos, Syrett demands Canada adopt a similar approach: reinstitutionalize the mentally ill, mandate treatment, and restore public order. He dismantles activist objections, exposes Toronto Police's misplaced priorities, and dives into Pierre Poilievre's Canadian Sovereignty Act.

We are back on the road this week for an exciting visit with Emily Morris, CEO and Founder, and Tom Cuthbert, CTO, of Emrgy. Our team traveled to one of Emrgy's hydropower facilities on Colorado's Front Range to see their technology up close and in action before sitting down for a hydropower focused discussion. Emily founded Emrgy in 2014 and brings 15 years of experience in emerging hard tech development. Before launching Emrgy, she managed multi-million dollar federal contracts at AMT, bringing innovative technologies from ideation to commercialization. Tom joined Emrgy in 2020 after serving in several leadership roles at GE, most recently as CTO of Energy Storage for GE Renewable Energy. He has more than 20 years of experience in technology development across the automotive, rail, and energy sectors. Emrgy delivers low-cost power generation through innovative hardware and software that integrates seamlessly into existing water infrastructure. The company enables their customers to monetize previously unrealized energy assets, without anchoring or modifying their infrastructure. We were thrilled to visit with Emily and Tom and see Emrgy's technology in action. In our conversation, we discuss the current state of hydropower, including the regulatory and environmental challenges near federally protected natural waterways and the shift from traditional to modern approaches. Emily shares the origin of Emrgy's technology and its evolution from a defense application to commercial energy. Tom details Emrgy's hydrokinetic turbines, which can be deployed in existing water infrastructure with minimal impact and high adaptability. We explore the vast water infrastructure network and market opportunity, with over two million miles of canals globally, along with recent advances in power electronics and regulations that enable deployment. We explore the environmental and operational advantages of hydropower, the predictable power output made possible by controlled water flows, and applications across rural and urban water infrastructure. We cover Emrgy's dual monetization model (power generation and water conservation), project economics, cost-reduction targets, and speed-to-market advantages. We discuss regulatory pathways, including engagement with the Bureau of Reclamation and local water districts, incentives from the OBBB and other federal programs, and the market opportunity within aging water infrastructure. We also examine the speed of deployment and preference for incremental rollouts, interest from hyperscalers driven by power and water needs, permitting challenges near federally protected waterways, the benefits of co-locating with water infrastructure, and the advantages of innovating as a small company versus large incumbents. We end by taking a look at Emrgy's technology and discussing the rising value of water, hydropower's potential to generate hundreds of megawatts of renewable baseload power, the growing importance of decentralized energy systems near load centers, the long-term outlook, and more. We greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley kicked things off by noting that bond markets are trading sideways this week after a tumultuous week last week, which saw a Nonfarm Payrolls report print well below expectations and sent bond yields plummeting (10-year yield trading today at 4.2%). On the broader U.S. equity market front, the S&P 500 seems to be meandering so far this week after last week's Nonfarm Payrolls report pushed it down a couple of percent. While most of the Mag 7 Big Tech companies have reported Q2 results, plenty of S&P 500 companies still have earnings to release. Turning to energy equities, most Oil Service Companies have reported Q2 results, and 2H25 guidance has been adjusted lower, mostly due to rising service cost deflation. This week's energy earnings will be concentrated on E&Ps, Midstream, and Electric Utilities. Mike also highlighted Brookfield's $6 bil

The reckoning is here. Once a safe harbor, Big Tech has finally also gone full out on layoffs. Is this a structural shift to employment in Tech? Will the subsequent talent spillover be great for start-ups and entrepreneurship? Will it positively affect other industries?In this episode of Tech Deciphered, we will answer these and other questions in a deep discussion on the Global Tech Labor reset.Navigation:Intro (01:34)Layoffs & RestructuringShifts in Compensation & PerksRise of Fractional, Freelance, and Solopreneur WorkTalent Spillover to Other SectorsGeography & Culture ShiftsConclusionOur co-hosts:Bertrand Schmitt, Entrepreneur in Residence at Red River West, co-founder of App Annie / Data.ai, business angel, advisor to startups and VC funds, @bschmittNuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, Managing Partner, Founder at Chamaeleon, @ngpedroOur show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research. We decipher their meaning, and add inside knowledge and context. Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Nuno Goncalves PedroWelcome to Episode 66 of Tech DECIPHERED. Today, we'll talk about the global labour tech reset. Tech and big tech, which seemed immune to any lay-offs, seems now to be under fire. Massive lay-offs over the last 2.5 years, a lot of discussion around the importance of having a computer science, computer engineering background, and so what seemed to be a safe haven for any graduate is now under stress. Today, we will discuss the structural perspective on what's happening in the market, if this is a long-term trend or not, what has led us to this, and what is next. We'll talk about the rise of fractional freelance and solopreneur work, as well as talk about talent spillovers, and some of the usual geographical dynamics around the space. Bertrand, a huge shift in tech. Bertrand SchmittYes, definitely. It's pretty big. I think it started probably around 2022, once we got some changing interest rates that have a pretty massive impact in stock prices for a lot of companies. At that time, a lot of companies decided, and usually under some pressure, that it was time to be more efficient, to generate more cash. Yes, you want to grow, but not grow at all cost. You have to go efficiently. That's when we started to see some share price going down and step by step, quarter after quarter. Some change in attitude with a lot of big tech and that has created some impact in term of lay-off from different parts of the business, from the sales team to the DNA, to even engineering R&D. What is also been happening since 2022, 2023 is a change of focus. A lot of focus is being put in AI. A lot of investment in CapEx is going to AI. At some point, if you want to keep doing all this investing, investments, you might have to get some other part of the business in order to create additional savings to do all the spend you can in AI. There has been more recently a switch. It's not about just efficiency to push all the… But generating the ability to invest in AI. Nuno Goncalves PedroIt's part of a broader movement. Before we step back a little bit and go back in history, even recently, we've heard that there's talks between Meta and a bunch of private equity firms like KKR, Brookfield, Apollo, and others, to actually help in financing data centers. Meta is a gigantic company, so one would assume they have cash to do all these things. Maybe they don't. To your point, that level of efficiency that is now needed in the market where you need to throw actual money, CapEx, into the building of infrastructure, the building of the core underpins of what you're doing is pretty vital. But let's go back a little bit of a second, and we've talked about it maybe in our early episodes. Companies like Meta, Facebook back in the day, Google, Alphabet now,

Economist John Stuart Mill observed that “landlords grow rich in their sleep". Yet, as evidenced by the failure over the years of many real estate businesses, success is also highly dependent on entry price, debt levels and execution. Brookfield, based in Toronto, has developed over 120 years into one of the world's largest alternative investment management companies, with over $1 trillion of assets under management. It is also one of the world's largest real estate operators, and in this conversation, Brian starts by tackling the questions of “how you buy well” and “what goes wrong”? He then discusses the most significant geographical opportunities, from hospitality in Spain to student accommodation in the UK. He elaborates on the themes that unify the world of real estate, the blurring of lines between real estate and infrastructure and the “chronic shortage of housing” that is common to the US, Australia, the UK and Korea.

The Demonic Possession of David Glatzel and Arne Johnson This week we dive into one of the most terrifying possession cases in American history - the haunting of the Glatzel family in 1980s Connecticut. When the family moved into what seemed like an innocent rental home in Brookfield, they had no idea they were stepping into a nightmare that would tear their lives apart. It all began when 11-year-old David was violently pushed by an unseen force while cleaning his new bedroom, coming face-to-face with a grotesque demonic entity with coal-black eyes and melting skin. What followed were months of escalating supernatural terror - mysterious whispers, vanishing medicine bottles, unexplained scratches appearing on David's body, and the boy speaking in foreign tongues while contorting his body in impossible ways. The situation reached a breaking point when renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in, bringing multiple priests to perform what would become a series of harrowing exorcisms. But during the final ritual, David's sister's boyfriend Arne Johnson made a fateful decision that would change everything - he challenged the demon to take him instead of the boy. Months later, this act of apparent heroism would lead to the first recorded homicide in Brookfield's history and result in the first-ever legal defense of "demonic possession" in an American courtroom - infamously becoming "the devil made me do it."

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Tank Talks! In this episode, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo cut through the noise to unpack the latest economic headlines and policy shifts reshaping North America's business landscape. From Canada's surprise repeal of the Digital Services Tax to Brookfield's launch of an evergreen private equity fund, this episode dives deep into the forces driving change in trade, finance, and innovation.Will Canada's late-stage policy reversal strengthen its position in U.S. trade talks? Are evergreen funds the next big wave in private equity? And how will digital-only banks and stablecoins reshape the future of finance? Tune in for all that and more!Canada's Digital Services Tax Repealed at the 11th Hour (00:14)Just hours before the June 30th collection date, Canada repealed its controversial 3% digital services tax to clear the runway for renewed trade negotiations with the U.S. Matt and John unpack the political optics, the timing missteps, and why this repeal might've come too late to score real leverage in the upcoming Carney-Trump summit.Trade Tensions and a Pivot Away from U.S. Exports (02:50)With U.S. tariffs still biting Canadian industries like steel, aluminum, and autos, exports to non-U.S. markets jumped 5.7% in May. John analyzes the long-term risks and what a 10% tariff “compromise” could mean for Canadian trade policy moving forward.Brookfield's Evergreen Fund: Liquidity vs. Strategy (06:37)Brookfield's launch of a new evergreen private equity fund is raising eyebrows. These liquid investment vehicles are tailored for high-net-worth investors, but could they undermine Brookfield's traditional closed-end funds? Matt and John discuss the tradeoffs and potential disruption to institutional capital models.Stablecoins, Erebor & The Future of Banking (10:53)With the launch of Erebor, a new U.S. digital-only bank backed by Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and Joe Lonsdale, the open banking revolution is heating up.

The duo explores how stablecoins and crypto-native banks are reshaping the financial ecosystem.The “Big Beautiful Bill”: Trillions in U.S. Spending (13:56)At nearly 1,000 pages and $4.85 trillion, the latest U.S. tax and spending package is a behemoth. John calls out some of the more controversial provisions, like Section 899, a “revenge tax” aimed at foreign investors, and weighs in on what this means for the U.S. deficit and global investment climate.Figma Files to Go Public: A Product-Led Rocketship with a Caveat (16:49)Figma's S-1 filing reveals eye-popping growth: $750M in 2024 revenue, 91% gross margins, and 90% of the Fortune 500 on board. But one number raised eyebrows, its definition of net revenue retention. Is the 132% figure misleading? Matt and John dissect the metrics and what investors need to know.Anthropic & OpenAI's Revenue Explosion (19:39)AI darlings Anthropic and OpenAI are shattering expectations, with annualized revenues of $4B and $10B, respectively. What's fueling this growth, and is it sustainable? Matt and John assess the trajectory and strategic implications for the broader AI race.Meta's Talent War: $300M Signing Bonuses & AI Domination (20:30)Meta's aggressive push into AI includes poaching top OpenAI talent with eye-watering offers reportedly reaching $300M. Is this visionary investing, or panic-mode recruiting? The conversation digs into the implications of Meta's superintelligence ambitions and the high-stakes battle for AI supremacy.Microsoft Layoffs: AI Efficiency or Budget Strategy? (22:52)With Microsoft cutting 9,000 jobs, questions swirl around whether AI-driven efficiencies or strategic capital reallocation are the real drivers. John shares his take on what this means for enterprise software, consulting firms, and the future of knowledge work.As the tides of global economics, innovation, and technology continue to shift, Tank Talks is your front-row seat to the big moves shaping our world.

Welcome to another fact vs. film episode where we look at the true story of a haunting and compare it with the “based on a true story” film version. For this one, we'll tackle another film from the Ed and Lorraine Warren inspired Conjuring universe: the 2021 The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. We'll evaluate the terrifying scenes from the movie compared to eyewitness accounts and the Warrens' own claims. What really happened in that Brookfield, Connecticut household? How much of the story was spiritual warfare, and how much was legal strategy, mental illness, or media frenzy? As always, the real story is more chilling than you'd expect.Book: The Devil in Connecticut by Gerald BrittleTV Show: The Demon Murder CaseA Haunting: Where Demons DwellThe True Story Behind the Netflix Documentary The Devil on TrialWikipedia: Trial of Arne Cheyenne JohnsonNetflix: The Devil on Trial You can stream The Devil Made Me Do It on HBO MaxYou can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
The Brookfield contingent are delighted with the attendance at Open Farm Sunday. It's great to get such support from the community. Stella's impressed with Pip's dairy presentation – they agree it's important for farms to keep doing this. Even Josh's ‘silage sniffing' attraction has a healthy queue. They spot some over-enthusiastic youngsters on the yard but it's nothing they can't handle. They worry that quiet David's rattled, but he explains he was just contemplating the four generations he sees – with Rosie as the future. Pip agrees. She's heard at least two kids today talking about wanting to go into farming. David acknowledges days like today make it all worthwhile, even though he moans now and again. Pip hears that attendance is well down at Bridge Farm, and David has an idea. He grabs a megaphone and delivers a heartfelt speech about how one unfortunate event can blight a farm. Bridge Farm is eerily quiet. Helen's hopes that today would provide an opportunity to show they've bounced back from February's sewage leak seemed to be dashed. They distract themselves with talk of Peggy's funeral, and the cricket. Tony's touched that Henry's decided to support the farm today rather than play. It's just a shame it's so quiet. A few turn up for the goat gymkhana but it's not enough. When Helen hears how busy Brookfield is they're forced to admit it's going to be hard to shake off the spectre of the sewage incident. They're about to pack up when there's a sudden rush of visitors. Nonplussed Tony declares it a miracle.

Lilian's finding lots of poignant reminders of Peggy while sorting through a box of her things. Tony doesn't understand how old shopping lists can evoke fond memories, but Lilian sees each of them as telling a story. Lilian points out that Tony's surrounded by his children and grandchildren, whereas hers are not only far away, but don't need her like Peggy did. She feels lost without her mum. When Henry arrives he's intrigued by a glass dolphin. Lilian declares he can keep it. Henry's in charge of the goats for Open Farm Sunday – he's planning on buying some leather halters for them when he gets his money. Tony asks what money he's expecting and Henry thinks it's from Peggy. Tony thinks Henry shouldn't be talking about inheritance money, but Lilian disagrees. It's only natural Henry should speculate. Besides, he's missing his great grandma as much as she is. Tony apologises for snapping at Henry; he thinks they would all benefit from a family outing. At Brookfield Rex wonders how David is after their ordeal at the abattoir. Pip maintains her dad's his usual grumpy, stoical self, unlike Rex, who proved himself strong, brave and capable. Pip's puzzled when Rex appears to defend Rochelle. He then questions what he's doing with his life, wishing it had worked out differently. Rex doesn't want to end up old and resentful, mulling over regrets. Later David surprises Pip by suggesting they need to do a major security audit at Brookfield, admitting he'd prefer it if they didn't do Open Farm Sunday at all.
