John's monologue is about Trump taking fees from immigrants and US sponsors for services that it has no plans to provide. The government took their money, and now it won't even adjudicate their applications—in many cases, it refuses even to issue denials. The State Department is actually telling consular officers not to notify future applicants that the government has banned them. He also talks about Trump telling reporters he “isn't sending troops anywhere” in Iran, adding that even if he was, he wouldn't tell the press – whom he hates. Even as Trump denies it, national defense insiders in DC report DoD is close to deploying thousands and thousands of troops to the region to take and hold Iranian territory near the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon has also asked Congress for $200Billion in supplemental war funds so it can keep escalating conflict with Iran. John then interviews Hans Charles & Menelek Lumumba who are the hosts & co-creators of podcast The A Building, which was launched by Imagine Entertainment and iHeartPodcasts back in February. It is a tale of protest that will hopefully spark the fight in all of us for the next No Kings protests on March 28th. The A Building tells the story of the 1969 student protest at Morehouse College in Atlanta where students (including Samuel L. Jackson) took board of trustee members (including Martin Luther King Sr.) hostage. The event was a pivotal moment in the modern era of student protests, and the podcast explores how the climate of the 60's and 70's reverberates today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ashok sits down with Ron Baker, co-founder of THRESHOLD and founder of the VeraSage Institute, to explore how mid-market companies must rethink their economic model in the age of AI. Ron began his career at KPMG before pioneering value pricing and leading a decades-long movement away from time-based billing. He is the author of eight books, including Times Up, and has sold more than 80,000 copies worldwide. This conversation digs into how CEOs in traditional industries can move from activity-based thinking to outcome-based economics in an AI-enabled world. In This Episode.. • Why most firms optimize around internal activity rather than measurable customer outcomes • The idea of the Transformation Economy and what it means for traditional industries • Why customer profit is the most overlooked metric in business • A real-world example of a CPA who created 15 million dollars in value but billed only 38,000 • Outcome-based pricing and the concept of a tip clause • How AI increases structural capital and changes firm design • Why smaller, more leveraged firms may outperform larger legacy organizations • The direct primary care model and what it teaches about transformation • Why human capital, structural capital, and social capital matter in the AI era Mentioned in This Episode Ron Baker - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldbaker THRESHOLD - https://thresholdnow.com VeraSage Institute - https://www.verasage.com Times Up by Ron Baker - https://www.amazon.com/Times-Up-Reinventing-Professional-Economy/ The Soul of Enterprise Radio Show - https://www.voiceamerica.com/show/2735/the-soul-of-enterprise-business-in-the-knowledge-economy Fender and Fender Play - https://www.fender.com/play Howard Moran and MD Squared - https://www.mdsquared.com Dr. Paul Thomas - https://www.plumhealthdpc.com/ Palantir Technologies - https://www.palantir.com Peter Drucker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Drucker Ron's articles on "Earning his mouse ears" from his time at Disney University  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20131020050344-38251380-earning-my-mouse-ears-part-i/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20131103175004-38251380-earning-my-mouse-ears-part-ii/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20131117162628-38251380-earning-my-mouse-ears-part-iii/

In today's episode, Leonie and the brilliant Tamara Protassow are back together — crystals in hand, Lemurian energy activated — for a deliciously honest conversation about what actually moves the needle in your business.Tam shares the results of her bold 2026 experiment: marketing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (yes, even when it's inconvenient, even when life is chaotic, even when she's run out of words by 5pm). The results? WILD!Then Leonie — your favourite unicorn business coach and self-confessed membership obsessive — finally pulls back the curtain on the business model that has quietly generated over $10 million, served tens of thousands of members, and given her the freedom to run her multi-million dollar business from some of the most beautiful places in Australia.She's been running memberships since 2010. She's the OG. And she's sharing WHY she's never really talked about it before (unconscious competence is a wild thing, bestie), why she FLIES in the face of conventional membership advice, and why her renewal rates sit at a jaw-dropping 80% year after year. She also shares how her Academy members go on to become raving fans, long-term friends, and enthusiastic affiliates — a model that has sent $878,000 to small business women around the world instead of to Facebook ads.We cover:Marketing every single day — even imperfectly — compounds into real results within weeks, not years. Tam doubled her income in six to seven weeks.For AUDHD brains, an all-or-nothing approach is a feature, not a bug. Use it. Make marketing the ON switch that never turns off.The inner work IS the business work. Before Tam could market consistently, she had to examine her beliefs about visibility, consistency, and being seen.Revenue solves most business problems. Cashflow gives you the space to fix systems, hire support, and make better decisions. Focus there first.Memberships mean you never start the month at zero. Recurring revenue is financial security, creative freedom, and deep impact — all in one.Leonie's 80% annual renewal rate isn't an accident. It's the result of deeply intentional systems, smart pricing, genuine generosity, and clear boundaries.Affiliates who genuinely love your work are infinitely more powerful than paid ads. Build raving fans, then let them spread the word.Unconscious competence is real. You might be sitting on a goldmine of expertise you haven't thought to teach — because to you, it's just... obvious."Marketing above all else. Nothing else happens unless I've marketed that day."  — Tamara Protassow"Sales fixes all business problems. Bring in more sales and it'll fix a whole bunch of the other business problems you have."  — Leonie Dawson"You're never starting at zero dollars for the month when the month flips over. That is the magic of memberships."  — Leonie Dawson"I felt like a two-legged stool since the Academy closed. It's just the extra bit of support that I need."  — Leonie's Academy memberIf this episode lit you up and you're ready to build a wildly profitable business that feels GOOD — you belong inside the Unicorn Biz & Life Academy. For just $99/year, you get access to 100+ courses, workshops, templates, and coaching sessions.

AI is more than just another tool for lawyers. It may fundamentally change how law firms make money. In episode #607 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with legal industry analyst Jordan Furlong about the shifting economics of law practice and what happens as AI begins doing work lawyers once billed for.  Jordan explains why the traditional law firm model built on billable hours and human effort is starting to break down as legal workflows become automated. Together, they explore how AI may shift lawyers away from producing legal work and toward supervising systems, validating outcomes, and delivering the one thing machines cannot easily replicate: judgment under uncertainty.  The future of law practice may depend less on expertise and more on qualities machines struggle to replicate such as judgment, character, and the ability to guide clients through uncertainty. The conversation also explores why hourly billing may no longer make sense in an AI-driven world, how firms can rethink pricing around outcomes and client experience, and why smaller firms may adapt more quickly.  If the billable hour fades and AI begins handling the routine “widgets” of legal work, the real question becomes what a lawyer's value is now, and how firms should prepare for what comes next.  Listen to our previous episodes on Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Legal Practice.  #601 – Beyond Chatbots: Using Agentic AI in Law Firm Intake, with Matt Spiegel Apple | Spotify | LTN  #590 – Innovating Without Overwhelm: Practical AI Tips for Lawyers, with Graydon Trusler Apple | Spotify | LTN  #587 – Future-Proofing Your Firm in the Age of AI, with Jack Newton Apple | Spotify | LTN  #577 – Rethinking Law Firm Growth in the Age of AI, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN   Links from the episode:  https://jordanfurlong.substack.com.    Have thoughts about today's episode?

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Budrius to pull back the curtain on her journey to crossing the seven-figure mark as a therapist and business owner. We talk about how she built a thriving practice centered around therapy intensives, why she leaned heavily into SEO instead of social media early on, and how a consulting business naturally grew from therapists asking, "How are you doing this?" Amanda shares what it looked like to evolve from simply wanting to replace her old salary to realizing the massive potential that existed inside her practice model. We also dive into the real lessons that came with scaling. Amanda opens up about the importance of building the right team, the pressure many entrepreneurs feel to constantly create new offers, and how simplifying her business actually helped it grow faster. We explore the mindset challenges that come with visibility, handling criticism online, and learning how to balance ambition with a nervous system that doesn't always want to slow down. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to scale while protecting your energy and your life outside of work, this conversation will give you an honest behind-the-scenes look. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:12 - The unexpected business model that helped Amanda scale her practice 6:48 - How therapy intensives changed the revenue potential of her private practice 9:55 - The moment she realized seven figures might actually be possible 13:27 - The team investment that made scaling sustainable instead of overwhelming 16:41 - The mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to grow faster 18:59 - What happens when visibility online brings criticism with it 21:04 - The surprising challenge that showed up after success 22:15 - Why learning to tolerate "slower" seasons became part of her growth   Make sure you subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode, and take a moment to leave a quick review.

Designing A Practice That Actually Makes Money:  What if the reason your profit feels tight has nothing to do with your effort and everything to do with your model?  Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete challenge the inherited chiropractic business structure and expose why it works for the owner operator but collapses under scale. They unpack the critical difference between your practice model and your financial model and explain why adding associates or growing volume without understanding gross profit only magnifies the problem. This conversation walks you through the core financial mechanics that drive sustainable profitability and shows you how to reverse engineer your numbers, so you lead as an intentional CEO. When you understand the math behind your business, you stop reacting to leftovers and start designing predictable profit. In This Episode You Will: Understand why many inherited business structures fail under growth Learn the difference between your practice model and financial model Discover how gross profit and cost structure determine sustainability Clarify what scaling actually requires financially See how to reverse engineer revenue to create intentional profitability Episode Highlights 02:39 - A deeper motivation behind impact and scale is revealed, reframing business growth as a responsibility rather than a personal ambition. 06:25 - A bold claim challenges the inherited chiropractic business model and surfaces the hidden flaw that appears when complexity increases. 07:16 - The owner operator structure is examined, exposing why it feels stable at first but begins to fracture when additional providers are added. 12:46 - The illusion that effort and hustle can compensate for structural financial problems is dismantled with direct clarity. 13:45 - Scaling is redefined as preserving or increasing profitability, separating true growth from simply doing more. 16:23 - The concept of reverse engineering profit introduces a proactive approach to financial leadership instead of reacting to year end leftovers. 22:41 - Breakthrough is framed as impossible inside a broken model, emphasizing the necessity of repair before expansion. 27:50 - Accounting is positioned as the language of business, elevating financial literacy from optional to essential. 30:54 - Clear gross profit margin benchmarks are established, providing a measurable standard for financial health and scalability. 33:30  - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth.

Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an alarming rate, but could circular economy solutions help turn things around? In this episode of The Circular Economy Show, Lou speaks with Marianne Kettunen, Biodiversity Lead for Policy at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Bianca Brasil, Programme Manager at the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. They explore why around 90% of biodiversity loss is linked to the way we extract and process resources, how circular business models can support the targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework, and what needs to happen before the COP17 Biodiversity Conference to accelerate action. The conversation also looks at the growing role of businesses in biodiversity discussions, why circular economy and biodiversity strategies must be better connected, and how global supply chains could help scale solutions worldwide. Explore the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's recent policy paper, Scaling action for nature. Learn more about the Global Biodiversity Framework.

Years before the world ever heard of COVID-19, Jeffrey Epstein was quietly helping architect a massive financial network for Bill Gates and JPMorgan centered around pandemics. Sayer Ji's newly published investigation dives into the latest DOJ batch of Epstein files and reveals a terrifying 20-year timeline – and that global health institutions were treating pandemics as a highly profitable business model long before the crisis actually arrived. “Internal JPMorgan emails from 2011 show Jeffrey Epstein advising the bank's most senior executives on how to pitch a Gates-anchored donor-advised fund,” writes Ji, “insisting the presentation include the phrase “additional money for vaccines” and directing the creation of an “offshore arm — especially for vaccines.” Sayer Ji is an independent investigative journalist and founder of https://GreenMedInfo.com.

What if the secret to scaling your business wasn't doing more, but doing less, better? That's exactly what Pia Silva discovered when she went from $40K in debt to $500K in revenue in just 12 months, simply by flipping her entire service model upside down.In this episode, I sit down with Pia Silva, author of the brand new book Scale Solo, to break down the Intensives Model, a business framework that helps expert service providers charge premium prices, eliminate scope creep, and build a wildly profitable business without a big team or a burned-out calendar.We get into the messy, real story of how Pia and her husband Steve nearly lost their branding agency, the lightbulb moment that changed everything, and the practical pricing strategy she now teaches to hundreds of service-based entrepreneurs.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* AI is “Augmented Intelligence” and a Catalyst for Transformation: AI should be viewed as an augmenting tool to enhance legal work, not a “magic box” for perfect results. The systemic and responsible deployment of AI/legal tech is essential for a business transformation that shifts from a reactive to a proactive service delivery model, ultimately freeing up time from mundane tasks.* Focus on Strategy First, Tools Second (Stage One vs. Stage Two): The mistake many make is focusing on the sheer number of AI tools (Stage Two) before defining a strategy (Stage One). The first step should be to map current operations, identify pain points, define a target operating model, and understand what to do with the surplus capacity created by efficiency. Deploying tech without a defined structure is “piecemeal.”* The Human Element and Risk Allocation Remain Critical: Despite advancements in AI, people still seek lawyers for human interaction, to assign and share accountability, and to feel a sense of confidence and comfort in resolving legal problems. The human lawyer acts as a “guardian” and “shield,” and human judgment is necessary for interpreting legal dilemmas, especially since a 1% uncertainty will always exist, regardless of machine precision.* The Need for Purpose-Built Technology: Using a single, ultimate generalist AI tool for everything in law is like “trying to saw a two by four with a power drill.” Lawyers must select technology that is purpose-built for specific use cases (e.g., contracts, litigation, research) to achieve true efficiency and higher-quality work.* A Shift in Business Model is Essential for AI Success: The full potential of AI cannot be realized if the fundamental incentive structure remains the billable hour. If all incentives are to “bill more time,” AI's 4% time saving is seen as lost revenue. However, by adopting models like subscriptions or value-based billing, AI helps with problem avoidance and speed to deal, making the more efficient model more profitable.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Is the NBA draft lottery rigged to reward losing? Veteran NBA insider Ric Bucher sits down with Dr. TJ Highley, Associate Professor of Math & Computer Science at LaSalle University, who has developed a groundbreaking anti-tanking formula that could change the NBA forever — and it doesn't involve eliminating the draft.Highley's COLA (Carryover Lottery Allocation) system strips tanking of its incentive by rewarding playoff history instead of regular season losses. Teams would accumulate lottery tickets over time based on sustained failure — not deliberate losing — making intentional tanking mathematically pointless.But Bucher pushes back with 30 years of hard-won NBA knowledge: not every owner wants to win. Some — following the Donald Sterling playbook — are perfectly content selling hope while pocketing profits. Can any formula fix that?Plus: Bucher delivers a candid reassessment of the Denver Nuggets title chances and why the Michael Porter Jr. trade may have cost them more than anyone realized — rebounding. And a sharp takedown of the analytics crowd that thinks they've cracked the code on building a championship team.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Intro & Book Announcement 02:02 — Meet Dr. TJ Highley: The Math Professor Trying to Fix NBA Tanking 03:31 — His NBA Fandom: Spurs to Sixers & "The Process" 05:21 — COLA Explained: How Playoff History Replaces Regular Season Records 07:57 — Has Any NBA Insider Reviewed This System? 09:59 — Simple COLA: A Brand-New Version Revealed for the First Time 13:35 — Should the NBA Abolish the Draft?

Send a textInfusion is booming and it's not just because of an aging population. As technology unlocks new gene therapies, autoimmune treatments, and ultra-rare specialty drugs, infusion pharmacies are being pushed to scale faster, operate tighter, and deliver a better patient experience than ever.In this episode of The Bottom Line Pharmacy Podcast, Scotty Sykes, CPA, CFP® and Austin Murray sit down with Jordan VanName, RN, Owner of FusionIQ Nursing to talk about what separates a high-performing infusion operation from one that gets stuck in bottlenecks, delays, and compliance headaches.We cover:Why infusion growth is accelerating and what's driving demandOne of the biggest operational bottleneck in Infusion pharmaciesWhy “a prescription is not an order” and what that means for complianceWhat “top notch care” really looks like from first referral to post-infusion follow-upAnd more!More About Our Guest:Jordan VanName is a seasoned healthcare leader and clinical expert with nearly two decades of experience on the frontlines of patient care and specialized medical operations. As the founder of FusionIQ Nursing Solutions, Jordan leverages her extensive background to bridge the gapsbetween clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

In this episode I'm joined by Jim Morris.  We chat about the wake-up call that pushed him from building first to testing first. Jim and I discuss loyalty programs no one wanted, roadmaps filled with sequenced risk, AI prototypes that hallucinate and the uncomfortable reality that confidence often replaces evidence.We also dig into something deeper: why smart teams ignore data, why leaders fall in love once an idea hits the roadmap, and why testing isn't about better UX,  it's about real value.Jim shares how he even tests his own teaching process for students at Berkeley.Because as he puts it:“We can build stuff. But if people don't use it, we're just creating product debt.”Enjoy my conversation with Jim Morris.TakeawaysTesting is crucial to ensure product effectiveness and user engagement.Data analysis can reveal the true usage of product features.Mindset plays a significant role in how product ideas are perceived and developed.Not all ideas will succeed; testing helps identify the viable ones.User motivation is key to the success of features and programs.Prototyping tools can enhance the testing process but require careful implementation.Learning from failures in testing is essential for growth and improvement.Roadmaps should be flexible to adapt to changing priorities and evidence.It's important to focus on the core value proposition of a product.Continuous experimentation and adaptation are vital in product management.Guest LinksWebsite: https://productdiscoverygroup.com/LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmorrisstanford/ If your leadership team is about to make a big strategic bet, the real risk usually isn't the idea, it's the assumptions behind it that haven't been surfaced yet. A Decision Sprint is a focused 6–12 week engagement where we extract, map, and test those risks so leaders can make a clear Commit, Correct, or Cut decision before major capital moves.

Une avocate pénaliste épuisée par les allers-retours pour des audiences sans plus-value. Un frère passé dix-sept ans chez Sanofi, converti à l'entrepreneuriat. Entre un café en janvier 2024 et le premier prix French Tech quelques mois plus tard, Victoire Bern et Maxence Laurent ont conçu Libélaw — une plateforme de mise en relation entre avocats pour la postulation, la substitution et la vacation.Dans cet épisode, ils racontent tout : le traumatisme fondateur (une nuit à l'Ibis de Dreux pour un bureau de conciliation), les 250 avocats pilotes mobilisés avant même d'écrire une ligne de code, la construction du pricing à coups de feuilles A3 et de nuits blanches, le passage par l'incubateur BPI French Tech Lyon, et le prix coup de cœur décerné par le CNB lors de la rentrée du droit 2025.Victoire et Maxence abordent sans détour la complémentarité frère-sœur comme accélérateur de projet, les raisons pour lesquelles les solutions existantes ne prenaient pas, le choix d'une web app plutôt qu'une application mobile (99 % des bêta-testeurs ont tranché), la politique tarifaire qui inverse la logique du marché en confiant la fixation des honoraires à l'avocat demandeur, et leur ambition de couvrir les 50 000 avocats contentieux de France.Un épisode pour celles et ceux qui pensent qu'on peut entreprendre depuis la profession — sans attendre que quelqu'un d'autre règle le problème à leur place.Hébergé par Ausha.

In today's episode we talk to Mark Roberts, founder of Off Wall Street, a legendary provider of short selling research to hedge funds. Seven months before Enron became the biggest bankruptcy in US corporate history, Off Wall Street published a report recommending the shares be sold. The success of this call made Mark and Off Wall Street synonymous with original and rigorous research. We talk to Mark about his unusual personal background, how being a hippie in Berkeley in the 1960s prepared him for identifying overvalued companies two decades later. He explains why questionable accounting and high valuations are the “symptoms, not the disease” and compares today's markets with those of the Dotcom era.

Physical therapy doesn't have a value problem. It has a positioning problem.In this episode, Jimmy talks with Matthew Pratte about why private outpatient practices are getting squeezed — and what to do about it.Key Topics Covered:Why fee-for-service puts control in someone else's handsHow inflation + stagnant reimbursement compress marginsWhy scale favors hospital systems and large chainsThe rise of direct-to-employer contractingWhat self-insured employers are — and why they matterWhy PT clinics can often command higher per-visit rates through employer contractsMisconceptions about size and sellingA simple first step clinic owners can take this quarterBig TakeawayWaiting for reimbursement to improve isn't a strategy.Independent clinics must rethink who they sell to — and how they position PT as first-line musculoskeletal care.

Prefabrication has moved beyond proof of concept. In this kickoff episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt explores what it really means to enter the execution era of prefab. The debate is no longer about whether prefabrication or modular construction works. It's about scale, repeatability, and partnership. From data centers driving massive MEP prefabrication growth to owners rethinking procurement and risk models, the industry is shifting from experimentation to operational maturity. In this episode, we unpack: Why data centers are accelerating prefab adoption How scale changes the economics of modular construction What true construction partnership actually looks like Why culture and contracts may be the next barriers to innovation If you care about prefabrication, offsite construction, BIM-to-fabrication workflows, or the future of construction innovation, this conversation sets the tone for what comes next. The execution era has begun. MEET OUR GUEST Amy Marks is a leading voice in prefabrication and industrialized construction, with more than a decade of experience advancing offsite construction, modular strategies, and large-scale MEP prefabrication. She has played a significant role in helping owners, contractors, and manufacturers move beyond transactional project delivery and toward scalable, repeatable partnership models. Her work has been especially influential in mission-critical sectors such as data centers, where standardization and scale are reshaping how projects are delivered. Amy focuses not only on components and assemblies, but also on the culture, procurement models, contracts, and executive alignment required to make prefabrication successful at scale.   Todd Takes Prefabrication Has Entered the Execution Era For years, the industry focused on proving that prefabrication works. That debate is over. Prefab works. Modular construction works. Offsite strategies work. The real question now is whether we can execute consistently and at scale. Can we repeat results across projects? Can we move from isolated success stories to operational maturity? The future of prefabrication is no longer about experimentation. It is about discipline, ecosystem alignment, and getting better with every project. Prefab is no longer experimental. It is professional. Partnership Is a Business Model, Not a Buzzword The construction industry talks about partnership often, especially in prefabrication and modular construction. But there is a difference between transactional vendors and true partners. If five companies are bidding every project, that is procurement. It is not partnership. Real partnership involves shared risk, shared reward, executive-level communication, transparency when challenges arise, and a long-term commitment to scale together. In data center construction and other high-volume sectors, partnership is becoming structural, not optional. When both sides are fully invested, prefabrication scales. Scale Changes Everything Scale is the unlock for industrialized construction. When companies move beyond living project to project, they gain the breathing room to invest in systems, standardization, workforce development, and repeatable prefab workflows. Data centers are currently driving that scale, especially across MEP prefabrication and modular assemblies. The lessons being learned in data center construction today will influence healthcare, semiconductor, commercial, and even housing in the years ahead. Scale creates maturity. Maturity creates repeatability. Repeatability drives the future of prefabrication.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----In this episode, I'm joined by Jaime Sevilla, founder of Epoch AI; Hannah Petrovic from my team at Exponential View; and financial journalist Matt Robinson from AI Street. Together we investigate a fundamental question: do the economics of AI companies actually work? We analysed OpenAI's financials from public data to examine whether their revenues can sustain the staggering R&D costs of frontier models. The findings reveal a picture far more precarious than many assume; we also explore where the real infrastructure bottlenecks lie, why compute demand will dwarf energy constraints, and what the rise of long-running agentic workloads means for the entire industry. Read the study here: https://www.exponentialview.co/p/inside-openais-unit-economics-epoch-exponentialviewWe covered: (00:00) Do the economics of frontier AI actually work? (02:48) Piecing together OpenAI's finances from public data (05:24) GPT-5's "rapidly depreciating asset" problem (13:25) Why OpenAI is flirting with ads (17:31) If you were Sam Altman, what would you do differently? (22:54) Energy vs. GPUs; where the real infrastructure bottleneck lies (29:15) What surging compute demand actually looks like (33:12) The most surprising finding from the research (38:02) The race to avoid commoditization (43:35) Agents that outlive their models  Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem  Where to find Jamie: https://epoch.ai or https://epochai.substack.com Where to find Matt: https://www.ai-street.co  Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.
