How Policy Hamstrings AgTech in California with Walt Duflock

Agtech - So What?

When it comes to the production of high-value food crops, California is, without question, a global leader. Plus, much of the state's thousands of acres of farmland lies within close proximity of Silicon Valley, where high-tech tools and solutions are endemic. And yet, many California farmers are struggling to continue their work, and agtech startups are increasingly looking beyond the state for customers and sectors to serve. So what gives? To answer this question, we asked Walt Duflock, Senior VP of Innovation at Western Growers Association on the show to help us connect the dots on why California's world-renowned ag and its state-of-the-art tech sectors are struggling to align. Policy plays a big role here, but shifting tides around agtech funding are also having an effect. For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

From Status Quo to Status Whoa: Tech and the Healthcare Shake-Up With Dr. Dante Morra

Welcome back to another episode of Ditch the Labcoat! This week, Dr. Mark Bonta is joined once again by the ever-insightful Dr. Dante Morra—innovator, internal medicine specialist, and the driving force behind the Can Health Network. In this wide-ranging conversation, they pull back the curtain on the current state and future of Canadian healthcare, tackling everything from the rise of AI-driven virtual care to the systemic issues clogging up our hospitals.Dr. Morra breaks down the four pillars of healthcare—catastrophic, chronic disease, episodic, and preventative—and reveals why technology and innovation are set to overhaul not only how care is delivered, but who's really in control. Together, they discuss why it's easier to buy alcohol and gamble than it is to book a physical exam, what it takes to nudge a population toward better health, and how Canadian-made solutions like virtual triage and optimized healthcare “front doors” could change the game.But most of all, this episode is about who will drive real change: not the policymakers or administrators, but people—patients, citizens, and entrepreneurs—who are tired of waiting, ready to take control, and brave enough to disrupt the system from the outside in. Whether you work in medicine, depend on it, or just want a preview of where our healthcare is headed, you'll leave with big ideas and plenty of hope for what's possible next. Plug in, listen up, and—as always—question everything.Episode Highlights1. Courage to Lead Change — Courage is essential to make necessary healthcare changes; everyone knows what to do, but few are willing to go first.2. Rise of AI in Care — AI surpasses traditional care in planned prevention, aggregating biomarkers and histories for optimized personal health plans.3. Healthcare's Four Categories — Understanding catastrophic, chronic, episodic, and preventative care clarifies where innovation and resources should be focused.4. Self-Directed Health Solutions — Technology empowers individuals to manage their healthcare directly, sometimes bypassing traditional systems entirely.5. Misaligned Incentives — Payment structures incentivize episodic and acute care over preventive or chronic care management, perpetuating system inefficiencies.6. Public vs Private Innovation — System transformation will likely come from private sector innovators, not within public institutions mired in political and structural inertia.7. Danger of Easy Vices — Society makes harmful behaviors like gambling and alcohol dangerously accessible, contributing significantly to declining population health.8. Canadian Healthcare Renaissance — Canada stands on the brink of a health innovation renaissance, with technology and empowered citizens leading the way.Episode Timestamps 6:10 — AI's Role in Episodic Care 9:32 — Optimizing Healthcare Access with AI 10:25 — Self-Care Revolution in Healthcare 14:51 — Canadian Healthcare Access Challenges 18:37 — Technology's Impact on Business Models 21:31 — Predictive Health Tools: Behavior Impact? 25:47 — "Courageous Leadership Challenges" 28:12 — Disrupted Pay Model in Healthcare 30:41 — Public vs. Private Industry Dynamics 35:53 — Healthcare System's Struggles and Growth 38:36 — "Virtual Hallway Revolutionizing Healthcare" 41:26 — Embracing Disruptive Health Technology 44:17 — Disruption Sparks Hopeful Healthcare ChangeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

My guest today is Caryn Seidman-Becker. Caryn is the Chairman and CEO of Clear. She bought the company out of bankruptcy for $6 million in 2010 and built it into the identity platform millions use in airports and stadiums today. Her Wall Street background investing in Apple, Amazon, and Priceline taught her to recognize when products become platforms, which shaped her vision for Clear as the "definitive secure identity platform" far beyond travel. Caryn shares the gritty early days of literally hunting down hardware in airport storage facilities and rebuilding the entire business from scratch. She embodies an incredible "bias for action."

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Max Levchin, David O. Sacks, Roelof Botha, Chad Hurley, Russel Simmons, and Jeremy Stoppelman are among those considered the “PayPal Mafia”. These are cofounders or early team members of PayPal who went on to found or invest in major tech companies like Yelp, Palantir, YouTube, Facebook, SpaceX, X, LinkedIn, Affirm, Airbnb, and others. In this episode, CJ is joined by Jimmy Soni, bestselling author of The Founders, which chronicles the early years of PayPal. He delves into some of the lesser-known aspects of PayPal's history. He sheds light on Peter Thiel's prediction of the dot-com collapse, why he advocated for the employment of Roelof Botha as CFO at the age of just 26, and his second-chance philosophy for hiring failures. The conversation covers PayPal's “frenemy relationship” with eBay, how they convinced their users to advocate for them, and pivotal moments that influenced their IPO and sale.

      Slam the Gavel welcomes back Dave Weigel to the podcast. Dave was last on Season 5, Episode 230. Dave is a top money manager in New York who comes to us via his advocacy work, a pretty far off way from Wall Street. He's perhaps more well known to some as the Family Court Fraud Warrior on social media and in the press. His divorce in NYC is now into its 14th year and four months. After suffering 12 years of legal and Narcissist abuse in the family courts, he decided to take his analysis of what he calls the most blatant Government Sponsored Racketeering system to the Court of Public Opinion.     For the last 2 years, he's been highlighting to an ever-growing audience the play by play of what he calls this Business Model of Financial Fraud. With a slew of other victims found from around the country, his newest initiative is to unite all victims nationwide into a single voice demanding change by calculating the industry data collected directly from the victims themselves, over this blockchain type Public Ledger on Facebook. This is what he calls the method of Intelligent Transparency.     Hoping his Wall Street experience in data mining and financial analysis can finally bring the needed transparency of this system to affect real change, Dave is welcoming all victims. Dave Weigel wants victims to register at Family Court Fraud Warrior Project on Facebook. This is a group committed to revealing the, "worst of the worst," culprits in this system, while at the same time holding up the heroes out there speaking truth to power.To Reach Dave Weigel:  Family Court Fraud Warrior Project on FacebookSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

It's the season 3 finale, and to celebrate, Erika Hall joins us to talk about her unique artistic journey of painting chicken portraits. What began as a creative sabbatical evolved into an unexpected obsession, when she recognized that most of us take chickens for granted despite their dinosaur-like nature, and committed to painting individual chicken portraits that treat them as more than mere objects. Erika has grown the project beyond personal art therapy into a digital presence with a website and an interactive game where visitors compare chickens using random adjectives like "pedantic" or "rambunctious." Her chicken portraits serve as both a meditation on seeing overlooked creatures as individuals with distinct personalities and a broader commentary on taking time to truly observe and appreciate what we often dismiss as mundane.Guest BioErika Hall (she/her) is the co-founder of Mule Design Studio and Mule Books, and the author of Just Enough Research and Conversational Design, as well as the forthcoming The Business Model is the Grid. Her primary professional interests are design and communication strategy, collaboration, and evidence-based decision making.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Albie Stasek dive into the shifting dynamics of today's real estate landscape—from team growth and agent migration to California's wildfire devastation and Zillow's evolving influence. With no guest this week, the conversation gets real as the guys dissect the core trends impacting the industry right now. They explore how pain, opportunity, and leadership are reshaping the way agents and teams make decisions. Plus, they tackle a major emerging trend: team mergers and mega team expansion. Is this the next wave or a cultural clash waiting to happen? This is a must-listen for team leaders, broker-owners, and agents looking to future-proof their business in 2025 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Real State of Agent Movement Why top-producing agents and influential teams are migrating to eXp. What's really motivating these moves: pain, opportunity, or timing? How the last two years of slowdown created a demand for more consistent systems. Team Mergers and the Rise of Mega Teams Why teams are starting to merge—and whether this is smart growth or a culture crisis. Real-life lessons from failed mergers and what leaders need to know before joining forces. The importance of Patrick Lencioni's The Motive and choosing outcome over ego. Zillow Flex and the New Real Estate Game How top operators like Kyle Whissel are dominating markets through Flex. Why Flex is like the new REO playbook: low-margin leads, high-lifetime value. What most teams miss when they chase short-term profits over long-term positioning. The California Wildfire Crisis A firsthand breakdown of how fires are reshaping real estate on the West Coast. Long-term implications for inventory, insurance, and population migration. Why rents and premiums are about to spike—and who might be heading to Texas or Florida. Leadership Voids and the Agent Exodus Why agents are leaving legacy brands and mom-and-pop brokerages in droves. The silent killer: lack of leadership, vision, and meaningful direction. How today's best leaders are creating followership by removing ego and casting vision. Motivation, Vision & What Really Drives Production The truth about why agents plateau: financial comfort and a weak “why.” What Elon Musk's obsession teaches us about drive, discipline, and mission. Why the pack moves at the pace of the leader—and how to lead by example. Resources Mentioned The Motive by Patrick Lencioni – Must-read before attempting a team merger Elon Musk Biography – Referenced for insights on obsession and vision Zillow Flex Model – Discussed as the modern equivalent of REO strategy Verne Harnish's Top Book Lists – Recommends reading Elon multiple times CHSA/CHBA Systems – Mentioned as essential frameworks for consistent deals HoneyBadgerNation.com – Access to leadership tools, agent training, and systems EXP Nasdaq Event – Company news update (happening July 21st) Final Takeaway Leadership matters now more than ever. Whether you're merging a team, leading through market uncertainty, or just trying to find your edge—clarity, culture, and consistency will define your success. If you're ready to lead at a higher level, create a scalable business, and stop grinding without a strategy, now's the time to plug into proven systems and surround yourself with leaders who've been there.   “When the gate of the mind is open, the better way is clear.” – Jay Kinder Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Welcome to episode #990 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Lori Rosenkopf is the Simon and Midge Palley Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and currently serves as the Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship. In that role, she oversees Wharton's Venture Lab and its West Coast campus, while continuing her long-standing research into social networks, innovation and how knowledge flows between people, companies and technologies. Before her academic career, Lori worked as a systems engineer for Kodakand AT&T Bell Labs, giving her a rare blend of practical and academic insight into how organizations innovate. She's also the author of the new book Unstoppable Entrepreneurs – 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. It's a smart, grounded book that expands the definition of entrepreneurship, shifting it away from the mythology of Silicon Valley unicorns toward a more inclusive, pragmatic framework of value creation across industries and backgrounds. Lori's experience guiding more than 20,000 students has helped her see entrepreneurship not as a single path, but a set of diverse approaches, whether you're building something disruptive, innovating inside a larger company, or launching a mission-driven startup. In this episode, we explore the evolving nature of entrepreneurial identity and why many of the old narratives no longer fit. We talk about the role of failure, the rise of creators as entrepreneurs and the impact of AI on idea generation. Lori also shares her thoughts on market fit, how to foster innovation in organizations, and why community and mentorship are more critical than ever. There's a realism here that's refreshing: entrepreneurship isn't always glamorous, but it can be deeply meaningful. We also dive into the challenges of corporate disruption, the future of work and the tension between profit and social impact. If you've ever felt like you don't fit the stereotype of an entrepreneur, this conversation might help you realize that the stereotype is the problem… not you. It's a powerful reflection on how we build, why we build and who gets to build. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 56:28. Hello from beautiful Montreal.
