Neoborn Caveman is back with the untamed, unedited live radio show — marble-mouthed, vivid, nothing planned. He starts on America founded as a republic by the people for the people, and on how little of the official story still stands. From there NC looks at a UK car park where cash is banned, only the app still counts, and the fine is what you get for showing up with money and a working phone — sovereignty taken one payment at a time. After that Neoborn turns to Chinese cabbage dipped in formaldehyde and sold in Australia, but fear not, he offers a solution anyone can do to stay healthier. Later he takes the Havasupai trail in Arizona, a mother slashed after asking for directions. NC then investigates Network for Hope in Kentucky, the organ outfit HHS began decertifying under RFK Jr. after procurement started while patients still showed signs of life. He closes on the 1980s Pizza Hut revival and the real reasons people are driving back to those rooms, and finally on schools that spent three trillion and left three in ten proficient, and on heaven starting from within.Music guests: Big Sexy, Carlyle, Inoxidables, Van Hechter 00:00:00 On This Day Today - (no freedom yet)00:06:06 Big Sexy: Hiding in Romeo00:09:46 Fined for Not Having the App00:18:28 Carlyle: Without the Weed00:21:51 Formaldehyde Cabbage and Eating Where You Live00:30:14 Inoxidables: Sirena00:33:59 Wash Your Fruit and Veggies: Pesticides, Glyphosate, and Bayer00:44:00 Neoborn Caveman: Counterfeit Love00:46:28 A Hike, a Knife, Tolerating Crime00:56:08 Van Hechter: Boy Problems01:00:20 Organ Harvesting Comes Home: Network for Hope01:06:57 Big Sexy: This City Knows My Name01:10:17 Retro Pizza Hut, Hollowed-Out Schools, and Heaven Within01:23:05 Neoborn Caveman: Final ShowKey TakeawaysAmerica was founded as a republic by the people for the people.

Neoborn Caveman lets loose a marble-mouthed satirical ramble on who gets to rule whom. He starts on Operation Banner, the British army on the streets of Northern Ireland from 1969, and on a government that treats Magna Carta as expired. From there NC looks at Defense Secretary William Cohen's 1997 admission that the United States has the means to steer weather, earthquakes and volcanoes, at Hurricane Sandy's 2012 left turn into New Jersey, and at Kings Mountain, North Carolina — lithium in the ground, a Pentagon supply deal, then the floods. After that Neoborn turns to ENMOD, Project Popeye over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in 1967, HAARP, and the 1977 UN ban on hostile environmental modification that the United States and the Soviet Union both signed. Later he takes the flattering story every nation tells about the day it began to school its children. NC then investigates Horace Mann's Prussian model, Massachusetts compulsory school in 1852, and Rockefeller's General Education Board from 1902. He closes on the manufacture of obedience, and finally on the question he will not let go of: why don't we want to be free?Music guests: Big Sexy, DAV-EL, Carlyle, Reverend Genes00:00:00 On This Day Today - Operation Banner00:20:48 Big Sexy: This City Knows My Face00:24:36 William Cohen, Hurricane Sandy, and the Kings Mountain Floods00:28:54 DAV-EL: Lost In Your Love00:32:26 ENMOD, HAARP, and the UN Ban on Environmental Warfare00:48:43 Carlyle: Without the Weed00:52:33 The Manufacture of Obedience01:07:44 Reverend Genes: Everyday PeopleKey TakeawaysOperation Banner put British soldiers on the streets of Northern Ireland.

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season.

It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically. So I was just trying to find a plain corner with a white wall, which was not that easy to find.”Kupor was the first employee hired by Andreessen and Horowitz's venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz.MM: Flock Says It's “Taking a Break” From Responding to Media RequestsMM: Eric Schmidt is selling his superyachtWho is this headline for?

Bill Stone, Founder and CEO of SS&C How do you keep buying companies without eventually losing control of the company you built?  SS&C Technologies founder and CEO Bill Stone has spent four decades avoiding exactly that. Rather than treating each acquisition as an isolated transaction, SS&C built a system around protecting ownership, using debt when the economics make sense, paying it down quickly, and creating enough value after close to preserve capacity for the next deal. Bill walks through the decisions behind acquisitions including FMC, GlobeOp, and Blue Prism, his experience taking SS&C private with Carlyle, and the discipline that has allowed the company to keep acquiring across changing markets. What You'll Learn How Bill Stone kept 15% of SS&C through 100 acquisitions The exact revenue-per-head and EBITDA thresholds SS&C screens for Why strategic buyers almost always outbid private equity How to tell a motivated seller from one just fishing for a premium When rollover equity can help retain the management team How Carlyle overruled Stone's own unanimous board vote The one rule that makes Stone walk from a deal every time   Every financing decision changes what you can do on the next deal. If you're financing an acquisition and don't have a hard leverage ceiling you actually stick to, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, has the deal guidance layer to help you set one before you're over-levered on the next deal. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

It is already changing how firms conduct research, construct portfolios, manage risk, and make investment decisions. In this special compilation episode, we bring together three perspectives from across public markets, hedge funds and private markets, to explore how AI is transforming investment management today and where it may lead tomorrow. Andrew Veglio, founder and CEO of Vantage Investment Management, examines where AI sits in the evolution of technologies and argues the end game is replacement not improvement of much of what we, as investors, do. Kristian West, Head of Investment Platform at J.P. Morgan Asset Management discusses how they are embedding AI across their global investment platform, sharpening research, investment process and execution.  Then Lucia Soares, Chief Information Officer and Head of Tech Transformation, shares how Carlyle is using AI to accelerate decision-making, improve portfolio and risk management, and create value across its portfolio companies. Together, they discuss AI's impact on alpha generation, research, trading, portfolio construction, productivity, and the implications for the role of human judgement in our investing world.

David Rubenstein, co-founder and co-chairman of the Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms, was the first person in his family to go to college. Born to blue-collar parents in Baltimore, Maryland, he didn't set out to be an investor. “I was always interested in politics,” Rubenstein tells Sanil Rajput, MBA '26, in a conversation recorded live at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Though he got his JD from the University of Chicago, “I wasn't really interested in the law, and the law wasn't interested in me,” he says.A roundabout series of events resulted in a job advising Jimmy Carter; that role, in turn — and the abrupt end of it when Carter lost the presidency to Ronald Reagan in 1980 — would eventually lead him to private equity.“I struggled for a while to get a job,” Rubenstein recalls. “Because when you're out of power in Washington, you're a dead man.” After reading that a former Treasury secretary had turned $1 million into $80 million in 18 months on something called a leveraged buyout, Rubenstein co-founded Carlyle in 1987. “‘When you're getting kicked out of town, get out in front and pretend you're leading a parade,'” he says, quoting former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen. “What does that mean? It means take advantage of the situation you find yourself in. If you're getting kicked out of town, say you're leading a parade. If you're in Washington, D.C., say you understand companies heavily affected by the federal government better than the guys in New York do.” Today, Carlyle manages several hundred billion dollars and has offices in more than 30 countries. Rubenstein has since become a prolific philanthropist, interviewer, and as of 2024, owner of the Baltimore Orioles.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Obituaries are about life, about the lives that people have lived. Death only figures in one sentence.” — Sam Roberts This is, remarkably, episode 3,000 of Keen On America — three thousand conversations since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010. Fitting, then, that today's guest has written nearly 1,500 obituaries for the New York Times. Sam Roberts is a reporter on the Times' obituaries desk and has a new book about the art of the obit entitled Are They Dead Yet? We recorded this a week before airtime, so I began by asking who's going to die in the interim. He wasn't sure — but noted that the Times keeps 2,000 advance obituaries ready. There are, he added, never enough. Beware, though, the Rockefeller curse. Roberts wrote David Rockefeller's advance obituary, whereupon he learned that three other Times reporters had written Rockefeller advance obits — and all three were dead. (Rockefeller made it to 101.) Borrowing from Citizen Kane, Roberts hunts for the Rosebud moment, the epiphany that defines a life. He hunts for the soul of the subject, not the résumé. Hence his cheerful paradox that obituaries are about life, whereas death only figures in one sentence. As for famous last words, he's a skeptic — most were composed later by better writers. The real ones, he suspects, are “help,” or “get me a drink.” And the obituarist's own Rosebud moment? We have to go back to Brooklyn when he was a six-year-old boy. His father walked him to the corner to watch the Rosenberg funeral procession pass. “I want you to see history as it's happening,” he explained. Half a century later, Roberts got David Greenglass to admit he had lied about the testimony that sent his own sister, Ethel Rosenberg, to the electric chair. From the Times' Portraits of Grief after 9/11, Roberts learned the book's deepest lesson. There are no ordinary lives. Who would you miss more — your mayor or your mailman? Or maybe your obit writer (or even your podcaster)? Sam promised that if he died before airtime, he'd call. The phone hasn't rung. I'm still going too. On to episode 3,001. Five Takeaways •       2,000 Obits, Never Enough. The Times keeps some 2,000 advance obituaries on file, regularly updated — and people still surprise the desk (and presumably themselves) by dying unexpectedly. Print once had a deadline or two a day; now there's a deadline every minute. The occupational hazards are real: three Times reporters wrote advance obits of David Rockefeller and predeceased him — Roberts, the fourth, survived to see his run when Rockefeller died at 101. And the genre changes its readers: “no man who has seen his own obit is ever the same again.” Alfred Nobel, mistakenly obituarized as dynamite's merchant of death, endowed the Nobel Prizes in response — proof that a premature obituary can be the most consequential document a man ever reads.•       The Rosebud Method. Roberts' organizing device comes from Citizen Kane: the Rosebud moment, the epiphany — a teacher, a meeting, an accident — that changed the trajectory of a life and made it worth recording. The model, via The Economist's Ann Wroe, is the soul rather than the stenography: Wikipedia has the chronology; the obituary hunts the essence. Advance obits are never vetted by their subjects — facts checked, yes; the portrait, never — because an obituary is a news story, not a eulogy. And the form's great secret is optimism: obituaries are about life. Death gets one sentence. (Famous last words, meanwhile, are mostly posthumous fiction. The real ones: “help,” or “get me a drink.”)•       Giuliani, Trump, Epstein. The hardest working file on Roberts' desk: Rudy Giuliani — aggressive prosecutor, the mayor who proved New York governable, then a bitter Trump apologist indicted under the same statutes he once used on mobsters. How do you compress that into a lead paragraph? Andrew's suggestion — a narrative of somebody who had a soul and then sold it — requires Shakespeare; Roberts insists on newspaper objectivity, omitting nothing and editorializing never. The Trump obituary already exists (its subject, Roberts guesses, would sue). And context keeps moving after death: Bush the defeated loser became Bush the elder statesman; Epstein's reputation kept falling posthumously. Of the 150,000 people who die each day, three or four make the Times.•       The Rosenberg Rosebud. Roberts' own epiphany arrived at age six, on a Brooklyn street corner where his father took him to watch the Rosenberg funeral procession: “I want you to see history as it's happening.” His family otherwise met death with denial — six months after his father died, an aunt asked how Arthur was doing could only answer “so-so.” The Rosenberg thread ran through his whole career: decades later, for his book The Brother, David Greenglass admitted to Roberts that he had lied about the most incriminating testimony against his sister Ethel — evidence that, truthfully given, would likely have spared her the electric chair. When Roberts assigned graduate students to write his own advance obituary, none of them led with that. He would.•       No Ordinary Lives. From Portraits of Grief — the Times' profiles of virtually every victim of the World Trade Center attack — Roberts drew the book's central lesson: there are no ordinary lives. Who would you miss more, your mayor or your mailman? Carlyle asked whether history belongs to Hannibal or to the anonymous man who invented the spade. The desk has honored the principle in both directions: a front-page obituary for Hercule Poirot (the most famous Belgian, as Andrew noted), and a Jesus of Nazareth obituary written as the Times would have run it in AD 33 — ending, for lack of further confirmation, with the report that he was buried and his body disappeared. No beat generates more reader feedback. “As long as they're reading it, I'm happy.” About the Guest Sam Roberts is a fifty-year veteran of New York journalism, an obituaries reporter and former Urban Affairs correspondent at the New York Times, and the host of the Times' “Close Up,” which he inaugurated in 1992. His many books include The Brother, Grand Central, A History of New York in 101 Objects, and Only in New York. A history adviser to Federal Hall, he lives in New York with his wife and two sons. Are They Dead Yet? The Art of the Obit (Bloomsbury, August 11, 2026) draws on the nearly 1,500 obituaries he has written for the Times. References: •       Are They Dead Yet?

Neoborn Caveman delivers a marble-mouthed pro-humanity hour, opening on the AI datacenters built to predict and contain rather than serve and the lockdowns that were never overreach but something more sinister, taking the title question to Cardiff professor Ronald Eccles and the nasal cycle that rests one nostril while the other filters and warms the air no mouth can, moving into the dementia the WHO now announces as inevitable while the Lancet Commission leaves nearly half of all cases preventable by anyone who can afford it, weighing the eighty-two-year-old run over on a Publix crosswalk and still reported “allegedly killed” in the most surveilled country on Earth against the algorithmic governance such events are built to sell, and closing on Spain's opened borders, the five-drug prescriptions that shorten the lives they manage for the equity firm that owns the pharmacy, and the one sovereignty no system can predict, surveil, or medicate away: the person who still matters to someone.Music guests: DAV-EL, Big Sexy, Van Hechter, Carlyle, Inoxidables00:00:00 Segment 100:08:02 DAV-EL – Lost In Your Love00:11:30 Segment 200:20:30 Big Sexy – This City Knows My Face00:24:20 Segment 300:42:59 Van Hechter – Boy Problems00:47:21 Segment 400:56:31 Carlyle – Without the Weed01:00:00 Segment 501:08:27 Inoxidables – SirenaKey TakeawaysThe AI datacenters multiplying across the country were never built to hand you a chatbot; they were built to predict you and keep you home when you are judged unfit for the street.The lockdowns were not overreach, and calling them overreach is how the more sinister thing keeps its name clean.The nose runs a nasal cycle nobody taught you, one nostril working while the other rests, warming and filtering the air your mouth never could.The clogged nostril in a cold is doing its job, heating the passage to drive the virus out, so the body is smarter than the medicine sold against it.Walking will not save you from dementia, and the WHO does not predict the coming epidemic so much as announce it.Nearly half of dementia cases are theoretically preventable, but the prevention costs money, so health becomes another thing only the rich can afford.When the antique libraries are chopped up and scanned and the past is erased, a person with no roots has no agency; know your past or float.America, not China, is the open air prison, and a grandmother run down in broad daylight on a surveilled crosswalk is not an accident the system wants solved.Manufactured events train the masses to beg for algorithmic governance, and freedom, liberty and sovereignty are inherently against any algorithmic system, fascism and communism included.A country without enforced borders is not a country, and the pharmaceutical industry serves the equity firm that owns it, not the elderly it medicates to death.Sound Bites“America is only designed to satisfy the hunger, wormholes, black holes of the warhawks”“You have a communist nostril!

For three decades, most of Wall Street has treated energy and commodities as a rounding error, or as a small slice of the portfolio rather than the physical foundation everything else runs on. But in mid-2026, with the Strait of Hormuz disrupted, tankers burning in the Red and Black Seas, and nearly half of Russia's refining capacity knocked offline, that complacency is being tested in real time. The noise around increasing crude oil prices is loud, but this week's guest argues that the signal beneath it – the decline of refined products like diesel and jet fuel – is already sounding the alarm bells of a world in crisis. In this episode, Nate is joined by Jeff Currie for a wide-boundary look at what happens when the buffers that have suppressed energy price signals for fifty years finally run dry. Using his decades of experience as a former commodity strategist at Goldman Sachs and as a current senior advisor at The Carlyle Group, Jeff walks through why the "crack spread" between crude and refined products just hit its highest level in three decades. He also describes why draining strategic reserves is, in actuality, simply a bet that scarcity can be avoided rather than solved – in Currie's eyes, the West's refusal to admit scarcity since the 70s has left it structurally unprepared, particularly compared to China's security-driven build-out of nuclear, solar, and battery capacity. He also lays out the "Grand Bargain" underlying the postwar dollar system, wherein the U.S. protects global sea lanes in exchange for global trade running through New York. Jeff explains why a failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could unravel this arrangement, bringing forward consequences that would land hardest on middle-class Americans' access to credit and consumption. Is the world entering a new commodity supercycle driven by scarcity and deglobalization, or is the market going to keep shrugging off these shocks? What might it mean for ordinary people if the credit and dollar system that has funded American consumption for eighty years starts to break down? And if, as Jeff argues, we are only in "the foothills of the Himalayas," how much higher does this climb go before societies are forced to reckon with the physical limits behind the price signals? (Conversation recorded on July 23rd, 2026)   About Jeff Currie: Jeff Currie is the Chief Strategy Officer at Altis Partners. Previously, Jeff served as Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle and currently serves as a Senior Advisor to the firm. Jeff's analysis focuses on the energy and commodity markets and the supply chain central to an energy transition. Jeff is the former Global Head of Commodities Research at Goldman Sachs, where he helped to build their commodities business. During his nearly three decades at the firm, he became one of the leading commodity market strategists on Wall Street, known for advising clients through the commodity "super cycle" of the 2000s, the shale supply shock of the 2010s, and most recently the twin shocks of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

1 · SummaryPart 2 of 2. Part 1 laid out the bet: a fund built only for Indian consumer brands, back when the idea sounded absurd, and the anti-power-law machine Kanwal Singh built to make it work. This half is the person. The near-decade at Hindustan Lever that gave him his love of consumer, the Intel years, and the Paper Boat conviction that taught him to back the founder over the idea. Then the man himself: parents who came to India as refugees from Pakistan, a father who kept collecting degrees while feeding the family, the coach he started seeing in his sixties and what separates coaching from therapy, and how he reads a founder by meeting their family. He turned down twice the money he could have raised. He rates his life a 10.2 · Chapters0:00 Part 2 intro 1:22 The Hindustan Lever decade that started it all 2:25 Intel Inside, and bringing the inside out 4:22 The Paper Boat conviction: backing the founder 6:38 What he adds as Fireside's "CEO," and value of good 17:53 Capping the fund: turning down 2x the money 20:24 Hiring: read the person, meet the family 27:01 Refugees, and a father who never stopped studying 30:39 Three words, and a 100%-locked calendar 33:30 Motivating through the down days 34:51 The coach, and coaching vs therapy 43:40 How he learns, and consumer vs tech founders 51:27 Rating his life a 10, and success redefined 52:47 Cotswolds, golf, and the empty nest refilled3 · Pull-quotes[17:56] "I could have raised 2x of this.

(asked how happy he is with his life)4 · Frameworks & mental modelsFounder assessment through the family: read a founder by their story and support system, often over a meal with their spouse, on the belief that no one survives a decade-long build without one.Build for sustenance, not to sell: the best businesses are bought, not sold; you build for the long run and treat a sale as a business decision along the way.Value of good ("do good to do well"): founder first, planet first, one Fireside, with goodness as the foundation of doing well.Coaching vs therapy: therapy addresses a medical issue; coaching is vulnerability and honesty in a business context, and only works once you have the self-awareness to accept there's a problem.This episode was produced by Rohin Dharmakumar and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

How can boutique consultancies scale, diversify, and prepare for exit without losing the culture that made them successful?In this episode, Professor Joe O'Mahoney speaks with Martin Mehalchin, a former Lenati leader who helped build the Seattle-based customer strategy and experience design firm into a nationally recognised consultancy before its 2018 merger with PK. Martin reflects on the growth journey from a locally anchored boutique to a broader North American player, including the role of clear positioning in customer experience, the importance of client diversification, and the value of developing a more productised niche around loyalty.The conversation explores how Lenati's employee-first culture supported client retention, internal promotion, and low churn. Martin also discusses the firm's PE-backed acquisition, why the fit with PK and Carlyle worked, and how a careful approach to integration helped preserve momentum. The episode closes with Martin's view on AI in consulting, especially its impact on junior roles and why firms should build AI capability through experimentation rather than top-down mandates.In this episode you will learn:Why clear specialist positioning can drive both sales and talent attractionHow Lenati reduced dependence on Microsoft by building new verticalsHow employee-first cultures can support client outcomes and firm valueWhat made the PK and Carlyle acquisition a positive experienceHow boutique firms should approach AI through team-led experimentationChapters:(00:00) Introduction(07:22) Building an Employee-First Consulting Culture(09:00) Scaling From Local to National(13:00) Turning Local Case Studies Into National Growth(19:10) Low Churn and Promoting From Within(20:55) Choosing a PE-Backed Acquisition(24:50) What Made the Private Equity Experience Work(29:30) Lessons Learned From Growth and Exit(33:50) Keeping the Fundamentals While Adopting AI(35:15) Final ThoughtsFollow Martin on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mehalchin Follow Joe on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeomahoney/Follow Joe on Twitter:https://twitter.com/joeomahoneyVisit Joe's Website:https://www.equitysherpa.comSend us Fan MailProf. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit. Follow Joe on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeomahoney/Follow Joe on Twitter:https://twitter.com/joeomahoneyVisit Joe's Website:https://www.equitysherpa.com

As America marks its 250th anniversary, there's no better time to ask: what has kept this nation standing? Elizabeth Carlyle's answer is simple — prayer.   Elizabeth learned that at age eleven, when her father suffered a heart attack and was rushed away in an ambulance. She rode her bike to the end of the street, watched it go by, and prayed. He survived. And fifty years later, she still prays every time she hears a siren. That moment became the foundation of a life built on the belief that prayer isn't a last resort — it's the first and most powerful thing you can do.   Elizabeth is an author, attorney, and Bible study teacher, and the CEO of First Freedom Art Company — the stewards of Arnold Freeberg's famous painting of George Washington, Prayer at Valley Forge. It's also the cover of her book Americans Who Pray: Uniting a Nation in Faith and Freedom, released in honor of America's 250th anniversary.    In this conversation, she shares the stories behind gathering prayers from founding fathers, presidents, and current leaders — including Ben Carson, Tim Tebow, and June Hunt — and what she learned about prayer along the way.   This is an encouraging conversation on the importance of prayer in the Christian life and in the history of our country as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary.   Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.   So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life.

Im April 2005 nannte der damalige SPD-Chef Franz Müntefering Finanzinvestoren „Heuschrecken" – auf der internen SPD-Liste standen elf Namen: KKR, Apax, Goldman Sachs, BC Partners, Carlyle, Permira, Blackstone, CVC, Advent, Saban und WCM.

As warmer weather approaches, many of us are heading to coast. Make sure Daphne in Astoria is on your list of to-dos.  Here's our conversation with Jake Martin from last November. Original Post: Jake Martin began his culinary journey at 15, washing dishes in Northern California before moving sight unseen to Seattle in 1999. There, he taught himself the craft, working his way up through kitchens like Union and Maria Hines' Tilth. He moved to Portland in 2007, eventually running acclaimed restaurants Carlyle and Fenouil. This success was followed by a period of intense personal and professional difficulty, including high-profile restaurant closures, a severe depression, and a series of unfulfilling jobs that left him feeling burnt out and disconnected from the food he wanted to cook. ​After hitting a low point, his partner, Silqet, urged him to stop working for others and create his own vision. With her support and help from the Small Business Development Center, he wrote a business plan and secured a loan to open their new restaurant, Daphne, in Astoria. Today, his focus is hyper-local, sourcing nearly all ingredients from within a 75-mile radius. He champions a philosophy of simplicity, letting high-quality ingredients speak for themselves, and aims to educate the community on the exceptional produce, meats, and seafood their own region provides. www.daphneastoria.com @restaurant.daphne Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com 

Liquified natural gas, or LNG, is a natural gas that has been super-cooled into a liquid so that it can be stored and shipped. It's been touted as a bridge fuel to wean the world off of fossil fuels and onto renewable energy. In December 2024, Sea Change hosts Carlyle Calhoun and Halle Parker investigated the liquified natural gas exports being built on the Gulf Coast in a series called “All Gassed Up.” And they followed those exports around the world from Louisiana to Germany to Japan. What they found was that LNG may not be a cleaner fuel after all. It releases an even more dangerous gas called methane into the atmosphere. And the export terminals are negatively impacting air and water quality for our Gulf coast communities. Today, Carlyle returns to the LNG story with Gulf States Newsroom reporter Drew Hawkins. They talk about how LNG exports are affecting your electricity bills and what the war in Iran means for this industry.What started out as a wordplay joke among friends quickly turned into one of New Orleans most popular bands. LSD Clownsystem is an LCD Soundsystem clown-themed cover band, and since launching on Halloween of 2018, has amassed a cult following with members and fans dressing up like clowns for sold out shows. In the last year they've made their music available through the New Orleans Public Library's Crescent City Sounds. And now, they're gearing up for their French Quarter Fest debut, today April 17 at 5pm on the Jack Daniels Stage.Three of the band's members, bass guitarist Ricky Ostry, singer Howe Pea and singer and percussionist Brooke Paulus, join us for more on creating an imaginative world at their performances. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

The Carlyle, suite envy, Coachella takes, and a vulnerable Bieber moment - this week covers it all. Stassi and Taylor kick things off with Taylor accidentally showing up in “Stassi blue,” which leads to a conversation about all the things Stassi thinks she owns, from silky pants and ranch to period pieces and the Carlyle itself. They get into Stassi's deep love of the iconic hotel, discovering a whole new tier of Carlyle rooms she now wants to stay in, and why off-season travel might be the real luxury hack. Plus, they cover Coachella's shift from carefree to content-driven, Taylor's mortifying Justin Bieber interview, why his recent performance felt more vulnerable than lazy, and the latest Alex Cooper and Alix Earle feud that has them hooked.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Hiya: Receive 50% off your first order at hiyahealth.com/STASSI.Boll and Branch : Take off 20% sitewide plus free shipping at BollAndBranch.com/stassi with code stassi.Kindred Bravely: Right now, Kindred Bravely is offering our listeners 20% off your first order when you go to KindredBravely.com/STASSI.Wayfair: Head to Wayfair.com April 25th through the 27th to shop Way Day.Vivrelle: Go to www.vivrelle.com and apply for a membership today using referral code STASSITAY for your first month of membership FREE.Booking.com: Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach.

The proposal applies to undefined “significant” actions, granting officials broad discretion over which financial activities require approval. This would insert state-run app verification into everyday banking. And if Max goes down, significant financial activity may stop entirely.

Last year, FAU Basketball was decimated by the portal. This year was following the same path...until now. Kanaan Carlyle WILL return for a second season and it not only changes the complexion of next year's FAU Hoops squad but also sends an early salvo at the rest of the league. Ken LaVicka breaks down all of the implications of Carlyle's decision, why it's so important, what it says about the coaching staff (and FAU) and tries to predict what's next.

We have moved beyond the duration discussion. The damage has been done and the oil markets will not return to the ante-bellum state any time soon if ever. What happens when financial markets - both for oil and more broadly catch up to the physical reality? Molecule Contagion as our guest for this special episode Jeff Currie of Carlyle puts in. The revenge of the old economy just got teeth and the ramifications are being discounted at best and denied at worst. What are the longer term impacts of the events in the Gulf. Accelerating decoupling, de-dollarization and a shot in the arm for the energy transition. The only safety....HALO stocks.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami welcome Jason Thomas, Head of Global Research and Investment Strategy at Carlyle, to discuss why equities often react far less to geopolitical risk than to financial shocks, and how a “security premium” is emerging as policymakers prioritize reliable energy supplies, potentially boosting demand via stockpiling. Thomas explains how markets adapted to tariffs after an initial shock, but argues wars are harder to “end” because multiple parties must agree. They explore a richly valued dollar, limited alternatives driving central banks and investors toward gold, and why supply-chain invoicing reinforces dollar dominance. Thomas expects S&P 500 concentration—largely tied to data centers and the Mag 7—to drive diversification toward equal-weight, small/value, and “old economy” industries amid shifting energy-transition timelines and rising defense needs. They also examine AI's capex-revenue gap, hyperscaler valuation challenges from heavy infrastructure spending, and argue systemic-risk fears around private credit are overstated versus other leverage risks.

You don't need another “industry podcast” that talks around the work while your onsite teams carry the weight.Mike Brewer welcomes Carlyle Swafford to the Multifamily Media Network, and you immediately hear why this show matters.Carlyle built his career the hard way.He started in property management in 1990 as a maintenance tech.He worked his way through engineering, leasing, property management, regional leadership, and VP roles, and now sits as a COO.That path gives him the one thing most leadership content lacks.Credibility with the people actually doing the work.Here's the answer to what Carlyle's podcast is built to do.Multifamily Ethos exists to equip the site-based professionals and regionals who drive outcomes.Not the title-chasers.Not the “policy says so” crowd.The people who solve real problems under pressure.What does “ethos” mean in multifamily leadership?Ethos is the set of principles and practices that show up as character, integrity, and trust when the job gets messy.It's how you lead a team.It's how you make decisions when the script fails.It's how you build confidence in yourself before you ask anyone else to believe in you.Carlyle's angle is simple.Every level has challenges.Maintenance has pressure.Leasing has the race to the bottom with concessions.Managers carry the team.New regionals go from one asset to eight and realize they're not “doing the work” anymore.They're leading the people doing the work.And that transition breaks a lot of talented operators.This is where the episode hits.You can't answer residents with “corporate office said so.”You have to think.You have to choose.You have to own the outcome.And you have to learn without calling every miss a failure.Carlyle doesn't use “failure.”He calls them opportunities.That matters because language shapes identity.If your team believes one bad call means they “broke the company,” they stop making decisions.If they learn that one person can't break a company, they start building judgment.The most operator-real moment is this.Titles can become a roadblock.When a COO walks onsite, people see the title before they see the human.Carlyle wants to flatten that.Same level conversations.Same respect for every role.Different responsibilities.Same importance.Where to find Carlyle.LinkedIn: Carlyle SwaffordEmail: Carlisle.Swafford@multifamilyethos.comCall to action.Subscribe when Multifamily Ethos drops.If you lead onsite teams or regionals, this is the show that will sharpen your judgment and strengthen your people.MultifamilyCollective Blog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comThe Daily Collective Book: https://amzn.to/3YI6BDaHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com

Jeff Currie is Chief Strategy Officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle.   David Greely sits down with Robert and Jeff to discuss what's happening at Davos, what the revenge of the miners and the real economy means for copper and other commodity prices, and the other big themes that Jeff is seeing for 2026 and beyond.   We'll pick up with last week's conversation as Jeff discusses how the need to build out infrastructure for AI data centers is leading traditionally asset-light big tech companies to become asset-heavy.
