This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science this week, our expert, Professor Allan Blackman, chats with us about taking too many vitamins, bees, and AI failing psychological tests. For our weekly catchup with the National Party, Host Alex spoke with MP Ryan Hamilton about the US threat of further tariffs on New Zealand, our relationship with the US, and changes to local government committees to limit the impact of unelected members. Producer Liam spoke to a range of people, including Chris Casey of the Cachet foundation, about the current deteriorating state of the former Carrington Hospital in Mt Albert, also known as Building One, and efforts to see it restored and repurposed. And Alex also spoke with Rachel Mackintosh, National Secretary of E Tū, about where the 2026 Budget leaves struggling care and support workers in Aotearoa.
The Carrington Hospital, also known as Building One, was built in 1867 and stands as a monument to Victorian era healthcare in New Zealand. Until 2018, this category 1 heritage building was part of Unitec's Mt Albert Campus, but was sold to the government as part of the Carrington Residential Development - Te Kukūnga Waka. The goal was to build 4,000 new homes in collaboration with Ockham Residential and various iwi. However, concerns have been raised by locals about the degrading state of Building One as well as whether local infrastructure will be able to cope with intensification. I spoke to a range of individuals who want to see the building preserved, and attended some of their protests. This Carrington Building One movement is also active on Facebook and Instagram. Among the people I spoke to were Chris Casey, Chair of the Cachet Foundation, Helen White, MP for Mt Albert, Gareth Hughes, operator of the Waterview Coffee Project, Allan Matson, President of the Civic Trust as well as a high school student from Mt Albert. I also reached out to the owner's Ockham Residential and Marutūāhu, as well as Auckland Council and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, for comment.

What happens when AI enters a world where being wrong isn't an inconvenience — it's a liability? In this episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Gabe Pereyra, co-founder of Harvey, to explore what it actually takes to build AI for one of the most complex and high-stakes industries in the world: legal. Harvey works with leading law firms and enterprises to draft, analyze, and reason through complex legal work — contracts, filings, cases, and internal workflows where precision, accountability, and trust are non-negotiable. On paper, legal is a perfect domain for AI.It's language-heavy. Logic-heavy. High value. In reality, it's one of the hardest. Every word matters.Every output has consequences.And “almost right” doesn't count. In this conversation, Tomer and Gabe discuss: Why the hardest problem in AI today isn't intelligence — it's coordination What makes vertical AI companies like Harvey durable as foundation models improve Why legal systems must be auditable, permissioned, and accountable How conflicts and data isolation create unique infrastructure challenges in legal AI Why the future of work may look less like individuals using tools — and more like teams of humans and AI agents working together And why the next bottleneck in AI may not be generation — but human review and trust Gabe also shares his journey from aspiring professional soccer player to finance, AI research, and eventually co-founding Harvey — along with the contrarian thinking that led him to bet early on the future of AI. This episode is about what it takes to move AI from impressive demos into real-world systems — where the stakes are high, trust is fragile, and the tolerance for error is near zero.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as AI becomes more embedded in our daily lives, one of the biggest questions we face is whether these systems can responsibly support emotional and psychological well-being.AI chatbots are increasingly being used for emotional support, but recent lawsuits faced by OpenAI and earlier ones targeting character.ai and Google's AI Overviews, as well as clinical reports, and internal research have raised valid concerns about their impact on vulnerable users.What does it take to build an AI system specifically designed for mental health from the ground up? Is that even possible?In this LIVE episode of The Neuron Podcast, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey speak with Daniel Reid Cahn, co-founder and CEO of Slingshot AI, about Ash, an AI application purpose-built for therapeutic support. Slingshot has raised $93M from a16z, Radical Ventures, and others to develop a foundation model for psychology trained on structured therapeutic conversations across modalities such as CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy.We discuss the limitations of general-purpose chatbots in mental health contexts, recent controversies surrounding AI and psychiatric risk, and what differentiates a system designed to provide structured therapeutic engagement compared to one being used in a way it was never intended to be. The conversation also explores a broader question: Can AI meaningfully expand access to high-quality mental health care, and where should clear boundaries remain? Or should we keep our counseling where we always have, on a couch with a box of Kleenex and a hug nearby?
https://teachhoops.com/ One of the most pervasive myths in sports is that "leaders are born, not made." Coaches often spend the off-season hoping a "natural leader" walks through the gym doors, but leadership is a skill set—not a personality trait. Just as you wouldn't expect a freshman to master the Shuffle offense without thousands of reps, you cannot expect a player to command a huddle without a specific developmental roadmap. Developing a leader is about moving from "commanding" to "empowering." You are looking for the player who can become the "CEO on the floor," translating your vision into the language of their peers. Many programs are moving away from the traditional "Single Captain" model in favor of a Leadership Council. When you name one captain, the rest of the team often takes a mental "day off" from leading, assuming it's not their job. A council (usually 3–5 players) distributes the weight. It allows you to develop different types of leadership: the Vocal Driver who pushes the pace, the Quiet Connector who manages the bench's energy, and the Tactical Strategist who ensures everyone is in their spots. This structure prevents the "Coach's Pet" stigma and creates a broader culture of accountability. A leader's value isn't found when things are going well; it's found in the three seconds after a turnover. We spend hours on shooting form, but how much time do we spend on "Body Language Training"? To develop a leader, you must teach them how to "respond, not react." The "Next Play" Reset: Train your leaders to be the first ones to high-five a teammate who just missed a layup. The Echo Principle: A leader should "echo" every one of your calls. If you yell "Gap!", they should repeat it across the floor. This reinforces your authority while giving them a vocal presence. Leadership development must be embedded in your practice plan, not just discussed in a pre-season meeting. The 5-Minute Debrief: At the end of every practice, have your leaders lead a 5-minute huddle. Ask them: "What was the standard today, and did we meet it?" Rotating Warm-ups: Give a different player the responsibility of leading the dynamic warm-up each week. This builds comfort with their "vocal muscles" in a low-stakes environment. The "Truth Room" Delegate: In film sessions, let a player lead the first 10 minutes of the breakdown. When they have to "call out" their peers on film, they develop the thick skin required for championship-level leadership. Coach's Note: "You can't delegate leadership if you don't first demonstrate it. Your players will lead exactly the way you lead them. If you want them to be 'Transformational' leaders, you have to stop being a 'Transactional' coach."

Dell's CTO built a 4-category agent framework from real production deployments. Most enterprises are ignoring two of the categories that matter most.Full Show NotesEnterprise leaders are mapping AI agents to org charts — building digital employees, agentic teams, AI workers — and then wondering why the results fall short. Dell's Global CTO John Roese has been running agents in production long enough to know exactly why that framing fails, and what to do instead.In this episode, Roese shares a framework Dell developed from actual production deployments, not pilots. It identifies four categories of AI agents defined by two dimensions: how much autonomy you grant the agent, and how complex the underlying process is. Most enterprises are focused on one category. Two of the four are widely overlooked — and they may represent the fastest path to measurable ROI.This is a practical, grounded conversation about where agents are actually delivering value today, how to think about infrastructure cost in the context of agent economics, and why the sequence in which you deploy agents matters as much as which agents you build. If your organization is trying to move from AI experimentation to production, this episode is required listening.3.

A kid gets asked to “play a scale” by one of the greatest cellists who ever lived and has no idea what a scale is. That moment could have ended in embarrassment and retreat, but for Ole Akahoshi it became the beginning of a lifelong education in craft, taste, and what it really means to make the cello sing.The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, sits down with Ole Akahoshi, cellist and faculty at the Yale School of Music and Manhattan School of Music Prep Division, to trace his path from a music-filled childhood in Germany to studying with Pierre Fournier in Geneva. Ole shares what Fournier was like in lessons, what got written into his parts, and why those markings still matter. We also talk about the voice behind tone production, how phrasing and “good taste” shape interpretation, and why some technical ideas only click years later.From there, we shift into Ole's teaching world at Yale, including how the undergraduate studio fits into Yale's unique setup, and what he listens for when a student is chasing speed and flash. Ole lays out practical fundamentals like breathing, balance, and tension and release, plus a teaching philosophy built around curiosity and better questions. We also get his honest take on competitions, judging, confidence, and a pair of career-defining prompts he asks every freshman: who are you, and what do you want?If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe, share it with a cellist or teacher, and leave a review so more musicians can find the show.

Every builder's journey is non-linear. What looks like a straight path in hindsight is often shaped by setbacks, pivots, and unexpected opportunities along the way. In this episode of Building One, host Tomer Cohen sits down with Guy Raz — creator and host of How I Built This — to explore what he's learned from interviewing hundreds of founders, and from building his own media company. Before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in podcasting, Guy was a journalist and foreign correspondent — covering wars, filing stories on deadline, and learning how to operate with urgency and resourcefulness. That experience shaped his approach to building: prioritize progress over perfection, and improve through repetition. In this conversation, Tomer and Guy discuss: The patterns Guy has seen after interviewing thousands of founders Why relationships — not intelligence — are often the deciding factor in success The craft behind great storytelling — and what it takes to earn a listener's time How a career setback became the turning point that led him into podcasting Why the “safe” path can sometimes be the riskiest decision Guy also shares how he thinks about value creation — and why the best builders aim to create an experience where the user feels they received more than they gave. This episode is about craft, resilience, and the human side of building. Because in the end, the goal isn't just to build products. It's to build belief.

In the last video, you figured out what to build.Now comes the part where most people blow it.They spend four hours building a website. They design a logo. They set up an Instagram account and tell all their friends. They feel like entrepreneurs.But… they haven't talked to a single customer… or made a single dollar.Building a website is cosplay. A logo is cosplay. A business plan is cosplay. A business has customers. A business has revenue. Everything else is just really satisfying procrastination.In this video I'm going to show you the trap that catches almost every entrepreneur (and how to avoid it), why you should be charging people before you even build the thing, the Lean Startup principle that made me a millionaire multiple times over, and how to reverse-engineer a $1M business all the way down to what you need to do this week,.Building it is only 10% of the game. But you can't skip it. Let's get into it.

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded.

There's a moment every builder remembers. You type a few lines of code.The computer responds.And suddenly you realize: I can build things. For decades, that moment was reserved for a small group of people who knew how to code. Turning an idea into working software required technical expertise, time, and often a full engineering team. AI is changing that equation. In this episode of Building One, host Tomer Cohen speaks with Anton Osika, co-founder and CEO of Lovable — a company building tools designed to dramatically reduce the friction between having an idea and turning it into working software. Lovable allows people to describe what they want to build and generate functional applications far faster than before. But Anton's ambition goes beyond helping developers move faster. His vision is to expand who gets to build in the first place. From founders launching companies without technical co-founders to teams inside enterprises building their own internal tools, Anton believes AI is transforming software from a specialized craft into a much more accessible economic tool. Tomer and Anton discuss: Why the next wave of software creation is about enabling the 99% who don't code The philosophy behind Lovable — and why simplicity is often the hardest product decision to defend The real tradeoffs behind AI-driven development, especially the gap between prototype and production Why Anton believes the most underrated moat in AI is trust and brand love How AI tools could unlock an entirely new generation of founders and builders This conversation explores what happens when the barriers to building start to fall — and what it means for the future of entrepreneurship and product creation. Because when building becomes easier, something bigger happens: More builders.

Venari Minerals is advancing what could become the third highest-grade lithium resource in the United States — and the company is focused on building 20 high-margin years, not a century-scale operation. Managing Director Matt Healy joins The Hole Truth to unpack the scale and grade of the resource, including a 47.9Mt high-grade zone grading just under 2,200ppm lithium. He explains why beneficiation and 98% leach recoveries could materially reduce acid consumption — the key operating cost lever in sedimentary lithium — and how upcoming infill drilling aims to convert the current Inferred resource to higher-confidence categories. The discussion also explores the accelerating U.S. critical minerals policy backdrop, shortened permitting timeframes, and growing strategic interest from Japan and South Korea as global lithium supply chains realign. For investors, the pathway is clear: resource upgrade, metallurgy, scoping study financials — and potential re-rating catalysts along the way. Guest: Matt Healy Company: Venari Minerals Matt Healy is Managing Director of Venari Minerals, a U.S.-focused lithium exploration and development company advancing a high-grade sedimentary lithium project. Healy has extensive experience in resource project development, capital markets, and corporate strategy, with a focus on identifying and advancing critical minerals assets with strong geological fundamentals and strategic positioning.

More notably, its northern high-grade zone—at 47.9Mt grading just under 2,200ppm lithium at a higher cut-off—would rank as the third highest-grade lithium resource in the country if standalone. Grade concentration at scale is a critical differentiator in sedimentary lithium economics. Targeting 20 High-Margin Years Rather Than Maximum Scale While mega-projects such as Thacker Pass host more than 60Mt of contained lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), Venari's strategy is capital discipline over size. The company is targeting approximately 20 high-grade, high-margin production years rather than pursuing century-scale mine life. This approach aligns capital intensity with realistic financing pathways and return optimisation. Metallurgical Results De-Risk Operating Cost Profile Scoping-level leachability testwork has achieved up to 98% lithium recovery, an exceptional outcome for sedimentary-hosted lithium. Beneficiation testwork upgraded material from ~1,000ppm to ~2,400ppm lithium while retaining 85% of contained lithium and rejecting 65% of waste. Critically, this has the potential to halve acid consumption—typically the largest operating cost line item—materially improving project economics. Clear Pathway to Resource Upgrade and Re-Rating Catalysts The current resource is entirely Inferred, presenting a clear pathway for value creation through infill drilling and conversion to Indicated and Measured categories. Resource confidence upgrades historically support market re-ratings, particularly when coupled with additional metallurgical validation. A scoping study targeted by year-end is expected to deliver the project's first financial framework. Strategic Tailwinds from U.S. Critical Minerals Policy Recent U.S. executive actions focused on energy security and critical minerals are accelerating permitting and unlocking government-backed financing channels. Institutions such as the Development Finance Corporation and the Export-Import Bank are increasingly active in critical minerals funding, while strategic stakes in domestic producers signal policy support. Growing investment interest from Japan and South Korea—particularly amid tariff-driven supply chain realignment—further enhances the strategic optionality of high-grade U.S. lithium assets like Venari's.

This week we made our way through twenty rolls of ‘Word a Day' toilet paper – not (entirely) because of tummy trouble, but in order to impress one of the world's greatest wielders of words, copywriting legend Tim Delaney. An advertiser who made all of advertising try harder with their adverts, Tim is of course the founder of the famous Leagas Delaney agency as well as being one of the all-time great copywriters. You'll no doubt have spent much time gawping at and/or weeping over some of his most iconic work – including some extraordinary campaigns for Harrods, Adidas and Nationwide. He's also the creative brain behind the unforgettable ‘Perfect Day' film for the BBC – giving the world the briefest sniff of what a Bowie/Boyzone collaboration might have been. Wildly successful in both the building of an agency and the writing of copy, Tim is also one of advertising's most compelling talkers of sense – with a philosophy built around strategic thinking, disciplined work and a healthy appreciation for the value of intuition. In a chat where we skid quickly and wildly away from what we laughably called ‘the agenda', Tim takes us on an entertaining and eye-opening journey through one of the most remarkable lives in the creativity game.

You might not have heard of Ben Parker, but you've almost definitely heard of Runna — the incredible running app that just sold to Strava for millions For me, this one's probably my biggest regret but also one of my biggest lessons. A few years ago, a young entrepreneur came up to me after an event to tell me about his business. It sounded brilliant, but honestly… I couldn't see it: “Why would a running app take off?” I thought. Well, that business was Runna, the app that's now one of the biggest fitness apps in the world. And that young entrepreneur was Ben Parker. Missing the chance to invest in Ben's vision taught me a powerful lesson: always look for the opportunity in someone else's passion.Fast-forward four years and Ben's built — and sold — a business that most would call “impossible.” But behind that success is a story of sacrifice, pressure, and what ambition really costs. In today's episode, Ben opens up like never before about the realities of building something extraordinary — the highs, the lows, and the lessons he's learned along the way.We cover:How to turn your purpose into a thriving businessThe personal sacrifices behind successWhat makes a truly great founderHow to build a culture that winsWhat it really takes to make it to the topAs much as I'm still a little gutted I didn't invest, I'm blown away by what Ben's achieved — and I can't wait to see what's next for him.This is one of those rare, raw conversations you don't want to miss.And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: boysdontcry.co.uk If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- @greatcompanypodcastTikTok - @greatcompanypodcast And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITS Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Producer: Helen BurkeEditor: Dan KingAssistant Producer: Rhoda Abrokwa Video: Jake Ji & Josh BennettAudio: Rafi Amsili Social Media: Laura Coughlan & Anthony Barter - Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textVikram R Singh takes us on a journey from his unexpected entrepreneurial beginnings to building Antier, a blockchain powerhouse with 700+ team members that has weathered multiple market cycles through unwavering vision and purpose.What draws someone to blockchain beyond the hype? For Vikram, it was the revelation that this technology could create trust and accountability within systems themselves, reducing intermediaries and putting control back in people's hands. This vision guided Antier through three bear markets while maintaining impressive growth, proving that sustainable success comes from solving real problems rather than chasing trends.Vikram shares powerful insights about India's position as a Web3 talent hub, needing only regulatory clarity and better storytelling to claim its place as the global Web3 capital. His perspective on the relationship between blockchain and AI is particularly enlightening—"Blockchain is trust, AI is intelligence"—positioning these technologies as complementary forces rather than competitors in our digital future.For founders and marketers, Vikram offers practical wisdom: focus on the problem you're solving, not your technology, ensure your narrative answers "why now, why you, and why should I care" and remember that people don't adopt technology, they adopt stories that reflect their needs. His Co-Pilot Program demonstrates how partnerships built on equal risk/reward and aligned energies can accelerate innovation in the Web3 space.Perhaps most surprising is Vikram's revelation about what truly transformed his business after years of perfecting delivery, sales, and management: it was marketing that ultimately enabled exponential growth. This lesson holds particular value during market downturns, when maintaining visibility can position companies for success when conditions improve.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on July 7, 2025.

Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! It's strange times filled with a lot of uncertainty but one thing we know for sure is that we will get through all of this with strong community. This week Dr. Dom and Terri discuss some of the factors that got us to reckon with the fact that there is an uprising of people reporting feelings of loneliness and being alone. While those are natural feelings from time to time you can mitigate them long-term with a strong diverse community. We're not talking about people you can post on Instagram, although that can be a part of it, we're talking about the relationships that you intentionally cultivate that fit perfectly with your life. Are you a budding yogi and find it a central part of your self-care practice? There is someone out there with the same interest. Do you crave differing perspectives and rigorous debate about ideology? There's a community out there waiting for you to join them.The truth is while loneliness may be on the rise, there are people out there for you. And, as the world continues to reel from massive changes finding people that get you and care about you will be all the more necessary. Do yourself a favor a tune in to today's episode for practical tools on building your community. Some of these may stretch you or push you or feel edgy, but that is the work. It's putting your authentic self out there so that your people can find you. If you're ready to dig deeper you won't want to miss the opportunity to get Dr. Dom and Terri's precise questions to help you dream up and call in the relationships that will fulfill you.

Join something you genuinely love Real talk: The easiest way to find aligned people is to go where your joy lives. 2. Reconnect with someone from your past Real talk: Some of the most beautiful friendships are waiting for a simple “hey, I miss you.” 3. Try something new—even if it feels awkward Real talk: The most aligned people are often waiting just outside your comfort zone. 4. Start something small—but intentional Real talk: Community doesn't have to be a big production. Start where you are. 5. Be the person who reaches out first Real talk: Waiting on someone to invite you might mean missing out on the connection you need. 6. Build connection into your rhythm Real talk: If you want community, you have to make room for it. 7. Don't underestimate the power of one Real talk: You don't need a huge friend group. You need one aligned connection to start your community. Quote of the Day:"Community is much more than belonging to something. It's about doing something together that makes belonging matter."– Unknown One of our sponsors for this week is Feeld (like field, but with two E's). Tired of dates that feel like interviews? Same.
