My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode. Please enjoy my conversation with Ari Emanuel. For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by Ramp.

Last year, I read more than 100 books. This year, I cut that goal down to 25—and actually got more out of them. After realizing I was flying through books without retaining much, I slowed down and found four that earned a permanent spot on my bookshelf. In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite reads of 2024: a cutthroat business memoir from the cofounder of CAA (with an amazing 10-minute meeting trick), a beautifully illustrated book about overthinking, a faith book that pulled me beyond my standard understanding, and a weird poet's guide to courting your wild twin back from the forest. Whether you're a business builder, an overthinker, a person of faith, or someone who's played it too safe, there's something here for you.

Cerebrale amyloïdangiopathie (CAA) is een belangrijke en frequente oorzaak van sporadische cerebrale angiopathieën bij ouderen. De aandoening presenteert zich vaak met cognitieve achteruitgang en neurologische uitvalsverschijnselen, en gaat op beeldvorming gepaard met (micro)bloedingen, lacunaire infarcten en uitgebreide wittestofafwijkingen. In deze aflevering gaan we met Ellis van Etten, neuroloog in het LUMC, dieper in op de diagnostiek, klinische presentatie en behandeling van CAA – een ziektebeeld dat in de neurologische praktijk nog regelmatig voor diagnostische en therapeutische dilemma's zorgt. We praten over wanneer je de diagnose CAA mag stellen, het risico op hersenbloedingen en de adviezen rondom het gebruik van antistolling. Ook de cognitieve stoornissen die vaak voorkomen bij CAA komen uitgebreid aan bod. Het is verder een aflevering van afkortingen, denk aan TFNE's, CAA-RI, ABRA, en ARIA. Ellis vertelt wat TFNE's zijn, hoe ze ontstaan en hoe je ze onderscheidt van epilepsie of een TIA. We bespreken de mechanismen van CAA-gerelateerde inflammatie, hoe een MRI kan helpen om dit vast te stellen en hoe je het moet behandelen. Ook vertelt Ellis ons wat de relatie is tussen vroegere hersenoperaties en het ontstaan van CAA. Verder horen we wat Ellis graag zou willen veranderen in het LUMC, en of ze ook nog trots is op dingen buiten haar werk.

***@ 14:42 my podcast software thinks "voo-ing is a "removable background noise" so this episode may be best experienced on YouTubeHave you ever searched for wellness resources that truly understand what it means to be a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant? You're not alone. Wellness Wednesday are candid conversations about the unique challenges and opportunities facing CAAs in their pursuit of sustainable wellbeing.In this episode I relate how OR life can jack your nervous system into overdrive... constant alarms, literal hammering, a sudden “patient's moving", and yet our role as a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant demands we have steady hands and a clear head. I unpack three discreet, science-backed techniques you can use behind the drape to quiet the buzz without calling attention to yourself. Think long, quiet exhales that nudge your vagus nerve, a quick dose of tension-then-release to steady your hands, and a soft “voo” on the breath that taps the laryngeal branches of the vagus for an extra parasympathetic boost.Whether you're a practicing CAA, AA student, or prospective applicant, this episode marks the beginning of a community-centered approach to wellness that finally names and validates your experience. Welcome in. FYI "To "regulate" means to monitor and adjust one's internal state—such as emotions, thoughts, or physiological responses—in order to maintain balance and support adaptive behavior." so says ChatGptAttention AA Program Leaders and Educators.

Donovan Ryckis is the award-winning founder and CEO of Ethos Benefits, leading the charge in fiduciary-driven healthcare strategies for employers. A former Securities Advisor, he shifted from investment advising after uncovering inefficiencies in employer healthcare plans—achieving 40% savings for a client without reducing benefits. Alongside his wife and business partner, Chelsea, Donovan applies a fiduciary financial process to help organizations cut costs and improve outcomes.Brenda Kruse, CFO of Axiom Healthcare Services, brings over 26 years of financial leadership in healthcare and senior living. A licensed CPA, she excels in strategic planning, compliance, and cost management, driving both financial strength and quality care across her organization.In this episode, Eric, Donovan, and Brenda discuss:How employers can apply a fiduciary mindset to healthcare plans under ERISA.The importance of data transparency in managing plan costs and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).Aligning advisor compensation with employer and employee interests.Real-world examples of reducing costs while improving employee benefits.Key Takeaways:Many employers don't realize their healthcare plans carry ERISA fiduciary liability just like retirement plans. Creating a formal benefits committee ensures decisions are documented, consistent, and defensible.Data ownership and transparency are critical. Without detailed claims and pharmacy data, employers can't pinpoint where costs are being driven or negotiate effectively.Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are often overlooked sources of cost savings. Changing PBMs can reduce plan expenses by up to 50–70% with minimal disruption to employees.Aligning broker and consultant incentives with the employer's goals prevents conflicts of interest and ensures decisions are made in the plan participants' best interests.“If we don't have data, we don't know where our costs are being spent… 60% of our costs were in pharmacy, and yet our previous broker really wasn't even trying to change our pharmacy plan at all.”— Brenda Kruse“Even disclosing fees is only since the CAA of 2021, even still today, companies are doing it very poorly… They say it's part of their entire book of business, so they can't calculate it per client—that's certainly a bad starting point.” — Donovan RyckisConnect with Donovan Ryckis & Brenda Kruse:Website: https://ethosbenefits.com/ & https://www.axmservices.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donovanryckis/ / https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenda-kruse-1a90592b/Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ Important clarification from the podcast show dialogue: "If an ERISA plan exceeds 100 participants with an account balance but remains under 120 in perpetuity, then the plan would not require an audit for each subsequent year that it remains under 120 participants with a balance. Please verify current rules and check with your plan record-keeper, advisor, or CPA to ensure compliance with this requirement."

Wellness Wednesday are candid conversations about the unique challenges and opportunities facing CAAs in their pursuit of sustainable wellbeing.In this episode, we discuss the quiet tug-of-war between boundless ambition and a life that actually feels good (especially for high-achieving CAAs, SAAs, and pre-AAs trained to do more, faster, and better). We unpack the core idea, “you can do anything, but you can't do everything”, and sit with the grief inside it.

Today we sit down with Sheila Carrasco, who brings “Flower” to life on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts. After earning her BFA at NYU, she spent three years self-producing plays without an agent before pursuing an MFA at Harvard's American Repertory Theater, where she honed her comedic skills and character work. That path led her to the Groundlings' famed Sunday Company, where she found her voice and signed with CAA. Sheila shares the twists of her Ghosts audition including the COVID shutdown that nearly derailed it to the creative choices that shaped Flower. She also gives insights on ensemble improv and lessons learned from industry veterans, including her time as a stand-in on The Good Place. Her story is a testament to perseverance, finding your niche, and why it “takes 10 years to start working as an actor” and “20 years to build a career.” These are the unforgettable stories that landed Sheila Carrasco right here.

Just Shoot It: A Podcast about Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Directing
Marvel director Kat Coiro https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0192478 covers everything from working with day players to why directors have to take acting classes. Once an actor herself, Kat has mastered the art of infusing enthusiasm into every set and using that energy to supercharge collaboration. Kat's worn every hat—writer, actor, director, producer, EP, and more. And while CAA found her because of her short film, her deep understanding of each role on set propelled her into a coveted career directing "Marry Me" with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez, "Matlock" with Kathy Bates, Marvel's "She Hulk: Attorney at Law", to name a few. Is there ever over-preparing as a director? Not according to Kat. It's all about putting in the work, asking questions of your showrunner, and really investing into its world. And she doesn't downplay the ability to leverage commercial sensibilities, and pitching with decks and details that can take weeks simply on spec. Join us October 8th for a meetup in @ Lawless Brewery in North Hollywood. Tickets are free, but RSVP at: events.JustShootItpod.comMatt and Oren get Kat to share her go‑to techniques for “talking details through” before stepping on set. And why talking about how you were up all night working on the show, isn't necessarily a good sign. In fact, Kat's a big believer in the importance of self-care in projecting confidence. And mantra is about knowing when :slowing down" unlocks "speeding up". For Kat, relaxing and taking care of yourself is a huge part of a show's overall success. ---Matt's Endorsement: Atlas Obscura App https://app.atlasobscura.com/Oren's Endorsement: Swap wearing your watch on different wrists to avoid tan lines.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 155 - Fred Specktor - Agent In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with agent Fred Specktor (CAA). Fred has actually seen it all—now in his 90s, he joined the mailroom at MCA (before its dissolution) after graduating college, and he's been in the business ever since. After a stint as movie mogul Lew Wasserman's assistant at MCA, Fred was fired, and he recounts his journey bouncing between outfits until landing at CAA where he has represented top Hollywood talent for the past four decades. Fred's long career as an agent is populated with moments such as networking at a car accident and attending an acting class with Jack Nicholson, and he shares many of them with us throughout the episode. We also discuss the differences in Hollywood, moviegoing, and filmmaking between today and the previous century, and we learn how he still tackles his work with verve after a lifetime on the job. Plus, Fred makes his prediction for the future of the movies. - If you enjoy listening to Fred, we recommend reading THE GOLDEN HOUR. Fred's career and life is one of the subjects of the novel which was written by previous guest (and Fred's son) Matthew Specktor (Season 2, Episode 146). - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Barco
