In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we engage in a candid conversation with Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee. Burchett shares his straightforward views on the urgent need for voter ID laws and the troubling state of government inefficiency. He expresses his frustration with the Senate's slow response to critical issues, including alarming findings about non-citizens voting and the necessity of protecting election integrity.Burchett highlights recent developments, such as a grand jury subpoena in Maricopa County and a raid in Fulton County, and emphasizes the importance of addressing voter fraud. He draws a compelling analogy between illegal voting and serious crimes, urging Americans to recognize the significance of every vote. The congressman believes that public pressure can lead to meaningful change in the Senate, and he discusses the misconceptions surrounding voter ID requirements.Additionally, Burchett reveals his plans to introduce legislation aimed at eliminating the capital gains tax on property sales, a move he believes will benefit retirees and stimulate the economy. He also addresses the challenges of navigating a Congress that often prioritizes bureaucracy over efficiency.Next, we explore the intriguing developments in California politics as Democrat Party chair Rusty Hicks calls for candidates unlikely to win to withdraw from the race. With midterm elections approaching, a petition for voter ID requirements has garnered significant support, potentially changing the political landscape in the state. Legal expert and conservative commentator Sam Mirejovsky joins John and Amanda to discuss the implications of these developments, including the possibility of a Republican victory in the governor's race and the impact of voter ID laws.Sam provides insights into the upcoming Supreme Court cases that could reshape electoral dynamics, including issues surrounding ballot counting, racial gerrymandering, and the representation of illegal immigrants in apportionment. He emphasizes the potential consequences for the Democratic Party if these cases are decided in favor of conservative positions.The conversation also touches on the recent actions of Democrats in Congress regarding Iran, revealing a surprising divide within the party on foreign policy. Sam critiques the Democratic stance and highlights the disconnect between party leaders and the American public's views on terrorism.Finally, Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, provides insights on navigating the current economic landscape. Shannon explains the limitations of the Social Security cost of living adjustments and how retirees are effectively losing ground financially. He shares valuable strategies for protecting retirement savings through tangible assets like gold and silver, which historically outperform traditional investments during times of market volatility.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shantanu Narayen announced this week that he will step down after nearly two decades as CEO of Adobe. In this conversation first published in early 2025, Narayen talked with host Reid Hoffman about how he led the transformation of Adobe's creative tools like Photoshop to cloud-based subscriptions, how that unlocked faster innovation, and why those lessons are serving the company well in the new age of AI.Synthetic voiceover of Reid Hoffman used in this episode was produced by Respeecher with full consent and permission.Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, I sit down with Maru Kaneko, founder and CEO of VAULTÉ, a platform bringing tokenized luxury assets to the blockchain. We talk about how tokenization opens access to diamonds, jewelry, and other high-end assets that were once limited to insiders, and why major institutions are moving in this direction. Maru shares lessons from building multimillion-dollar companies at a young age, including how delegating the right tasks fuels scale. He also opens up about losing a hedge fund, paying heavy “dummy tax,” and rebuilding stronger. It's a candid conversation about risk, resilience, timing, and believing in your vision when others don't.

"God, where are You working in aviation that I can participate?" Throughout his life, Steve Russell, CEO and President of Jungle Aviation and Relay Service (better known as JAARS) has asked the Lord what He had in store next. That pattern continued when he earned his pilot's license; he wondered how the Lord would use that new skill to open doors for Kingdom impact. Little did he know God would use it to move him toward leadership in a global missions effort! Long before Russell arrived at JAARS, God was giving him experiences to prepare him for this season of service. Steve will share how the Lord led him from ministry as a youth pastor to the military, including leading a U.S. Army unit involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Later, God moved him into government service, including in the State of Oklahoma and the U.S. House of Representatives. Now, at JAARS, he leads a worldwide mission working to facilitate delivery of God's Word into the hardest-to-reach places in the world.  Steve will also explain JAARS' history and its historic connection to Wycliffe Bible Translators.

This week, we are joined by Or Eshed, Co-Founder and CEO from LayerX Security, discussing their work on "How We Discovered A Campaign of 16 Malicious Extensions Built to Steal ChatGPT Accounts." Researchers uncovered a coordinated campaign of 16 malicious browser extensions posing as ChatGPT productivity tools while secretly stealing user accounts. The extensions intercept ChatGPT session authentication tokens and send them to attacker-controlled servers, allowing threat actors to impersonate users and access their conversations, files, and connected services like Google Drive or Slack. The findings highlight how AI-focused browser extensions are creating a new attack surface, emphasizing the need for organizations to closely monitor and restrict third-party AI tools.

In this week's show we start with FOLLOW UP: The world keeps trying to protect kids online — Indonesia just joined Australia, Spain, and Malaysia in banning social media for under-16s, while COPPA 2.0 sailed through the US Senate unanimously. Meanwhile, Roblox is using AI to clean up its chat, because apparently "Hurry TF up" is the hill they've chosen to die on — even as they're still dealing with the whole "pedophile problem" thing from January. On the AI copyright front, Gracenote is the latest company to sue OpenAI for helping itself to proprietary data, joining a growing queue of plaintiffs who apparently didn't get the memo that everything is training data now.IN THE NEWS: Anthropic is suing the Pentagon after being labeled a "supply chain risk" — apparently because the CEO said AI shouldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, which the Trump administration heard as fighting words. The delicious irony: the Pentagon is still running Claude in active operations while trying to phase it out. Speaking of active operations, investigators now think a missile strike on an Iranian girls' school may have been triggered by bad AI-generated intelligence from that same Claude-based system. So yes, the autocomplete that hallucinates your grocery list is also maybe accidentally bombing schools. Meta's Oversight Board is begging the company to get serious about AI-generated content after a fake war video from a Filipino fake news account racked up 700K views — while separately, Zuckerberg dropped cash on Moltbook, a "social network for AI agents" that turned out to be mostly humans larping as bots and had a security flaw that exposed everyone's API keys. The guy who built it basically vibe-coded the whole thing. Meta's own CTO said he didn't "find it particularly interesting." And yet. Oracle is hemorrhaging jobs and drowning in debt chasing AI dreams, its stock down 50% from peak — a timely reminder that "AI will replace workers" is currently manifesting as "companies set money on fire and lay people off to pay the electric bill." Researchers confirmed AI is homogenizing human thought and creativity — a thing some of us have been screaming since day one. A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of the Social Security Administration with databases containing personal info on 500 million Americans on a thumb drive. The Ig Nobel Prize is relocating to Switzerland because it's no longer safe to invite international guests to America. Nintendo is suing the US government to get its tariff money back. SETI thinks it may have been accidentally filtering out alien signals due to space weather. And Pokémon Go players unknowingly spent a decade building a centimeter-accurate surveillance map of Earth's cities that's now guiding pizza delivery robots — which, honestly, tracks.In APPS & DOODADS: The GOG clan in Clash Royale just hit eight years old — respect. OpenAudible is the cross-platform audiobook manager your Audible library deserves, especially if you've got over a thousand books sitting there judging you.And finally in MEDIA CANDY: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is here, and pretty beige. Live Nation settled its DOJ antitrust case for $200 million, kept Ticketmaster, and avoided a breakup — meanwhile court documents revealed employees joking about "robbing fans blind" and gouging "stupid" customers, which explains basically every concert ticket you've bought in the last decade. YouTube is now officially the world's largest media company at $62 billion in revenue. Bluesky's CEO is stepping down, which is either a bad sign or just the natural order of "person who built the cool thing hands it to the person who scales the cool thing." Dead Set — Charlie Brooker's 2008 zombie-in-the-Big-Brother-house miniseries — is worth a watch if you haven't. And trailers dropped for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (March 24th), The Boys final season (April 8th), and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 1st — yes, really).Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

In February, conservationists released 158 young tortoises onto Floreana Island in the Galapagos. The Floreana tortoise subspecies had long been thought extinct, but the discovery of close relatives on another island made a captive breeding effort possible.  SciFri turtle correspondent Charles Bergquist talks with conservationist Penny Becker about the science behind the reintroduction, and what it was like to return the species to an island that had not seen them since the 1850s. Plus, the latest on sea turtle nesting season, and an ancient sea turtle stampede. Guest: Dr. Penny Becker is CEO of the nonprofit Island Conservation.

A president's words alone can have a big impact. Like when President Trump told a reporter that the war in Iran is nearly over, oil prices dropped. That was a good sign for consumers, but was that responsible leadership from the president? We're asking the same question of Congress where one senator said let's not debate the war because a publicly divided legislative branch isn't good for our troops abroad. Also, there will be a change in leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, with Kristi Noem out and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin picked to take her place. We'll talk about the next secretary's immense challenges ahead,including funding for the agency on hold and concerns about our preparedness for possible terrorist attacks. Plus, we'll take your questions as we talk with our panelists Mo Elleithee on the left and Will Swaim on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests:  Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Will Swaim, CEO of the California Policy Center - @WillSwaim

Jade Miller is here to discuss the pros and cons of alternative investments. Jade shares her journey to becoming the CEO of the Alternative & Direct Investment Securities Association (ADISA), her background in private markets, and ADISA's role in advocating for and expanding access to alternatives for financial advisors and investors. We explore the growing push to include alternative investments in 401(k) plans, investor misunderstanding, and potential regulatory challenges. We also talk the importance of thorough due diligence, common red flags, and the need for greater transparency from fund managers.  We discuss... Jade Miller discusses her background in private markets, primarily real estate, and her transition to becoming the first CEO of the ADISA. ADISA's mission is to advocate for alternative investments, provide education and due diligence standards, and connect financial advisors with alternative investment managers. The alternatives industry is shifting from limited access for wealthy investors toward broader availability, including potential inclusion in 401(k) retirement plans. Large institutional managers are likely to dominate 401(k) alternative offerings rather than smaller private fund sponsors. Liquidity constraints and fund structures such as interval and tender-offer funds will likely shape how alternatives are implemented inside retirement plans. Illiquid investments in retirement accounts can carry a higher risk of fraud or poor diligence because the capital is often locked up for long periods. Increased transparency and reporting expectations from investors are pushing alternative fund managers to provide more detailed disclosures. Financial advisors play a key role in helping investors assess alternative opportunities and navigate complex investment structures. Unrealistically high projected returns and lightly vetted crowdfunding deals can be major warning signs for investors. Real estate is highlighted as a foundational alternative asset due to its tangible nature, income potential, and long-term demand. Alternative investments can offer meaningful tax advantages, including depreciation benefits, opportunity zone incentives, and oil and gas deductions. Roth conversion strategies can sometimes be enhanced through private investments that temporarily reduce valuation during development stages. Investors and financial advisors who ignore alternative investments risk falling behind as the asset class becomes a larger part of diversified portfolios.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Barbara Friedberg | Barbara Friedberg Personal Finance Marc Walton | Forex Mentor Pro Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast  

How do you turn trillions of user interactions into meaningful decisions without drowning in data? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Todd Olson, co-founder and CEO of Pendo, to talk about the future of product-led organizations and why AI is reshaping how software companies grow, build, and compete. Pendo tracks trillions of product usage events to help organizations understand how customers actually interact with their software. That level of data sounds powerful, but it also raises a challenge many teams face today. How do you turn massive data sets into clear signals that teams can act on without falling into analysis paralysis? Todd explains how Pendo approaches this problem by organizing product data around real user journeys, feature adoption, and areas where people drop off. Instead of leaving teams buried in dashboards, the goal is to surface insights that matter. Increasingly, AI is helping by acting as a kind of embedded analyst that highlights the patterns product teams should focus on. Our conversation also revisits the idea behind Todd's book, The Product-Led Organization. When it was published around the time of the pandemic, it argued that great products should do much of the heavy lifting traditionally done by sales or support teams. Looking back now, Todd believes the core idea remains intact. AI simply accelerates the model by allowing companies to experiment faster and scale product-driven experiences with far fewer people. But that shift is also creating tension in the software industry. We talk about the so-called reckoning in SaaS economics and the growing debate around whether AI will make traditional software companies obsolete. Todd offers a more measured perspective. While AI allows anyone to prototype software quickly, the companies that survive will still be the ones solving difficult problems, navigating compliance requirements, and building products that customers trust. Another theme we explore is geography and innovation. Pendo is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, far from the usual coastal tech hubs. Todd shares how building outside Silicon Valley has shaped the company's culture, talent strategy, and mindset. There are advantages to being close to the center of the AI boom, but there is also value in building away from the echo chamber. We also spend time unpacking the rise of AI-assisted development and the trend many people call "vibe coding." Todd believes AI will dramatically reshape product teams, but he also pushes back against the idea that humans will disappear from the development process. Engineers will still need to review code, teach AI systems best practices, and ensure security and reliability. One of the most interesting moments in our conversation comes near the end when Todd shares a belief that originality will become one of the most valuable assets in the age of AI. As automated content and automated code become easier to generate, he believes people will increasingly value craft, taste, and original thinking. So in a world where AI can generate almost anything with a prompt, the real question becomes far more human. What problems are actually worth solving? If you care about the future of software, product strategy, and how AI is reshaping the economics of building companies, this is a conversation that offers plenty to think about. And after listening, I would love to hear your perspective. As AI becomes embedded in every product and workflow, do you believe originality and craft will become the true differentiators in the software industry?

In this episode, Kailey shares her journey from engineering to entrepreneurship to CEO, what she had to unlearn transitioning from founder to leader, and how she's helping build a slower, more intentional beauty brand. We talk about translating authenticity into formulation, raising the bar on sustainability with compostable packaging, and leading with credibility in a high-visibility space.

Food loss and waste account for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and cost $1 trillion annually, according to the⁠ United Nations⁠. About a third of all food grown on the planet gets wasted, rather than eaten. In developing countries, waste usually occurs between the field and the store, due to poor infrastructure, lack of refrigeration, and broken supply chains. In rich countries, most waste happens after food reaches the store, where consumers don't buy imperfect food – or buy too much and toss what they don't get around to consuming. How much pollution, deforestation and starvation could be reduced if we got this problem under control? And how can new tech, including AI, be brought to bear on the problem?

A popular startup belief says your VP of Sales should “carry a bag” and close deals when they start.The logic sounds reasonable: if they can't sell, how can they lead a sales team? But that idea misunderstands what a real VP of Sales is actually hired to do.In this episode, Ray breaks down why asking a VP to carry a quota creates a direct conflict of incentives, attracts the wrong candidates, and is usually a sign the company isn't actually ready for a VP of Sales yet.If you're a founder or CEO thinking about hiring your first VP of Sales, this episode will help you avoid a costly mistake and understand what problem you actually need to solve first.What You'll Learn in This Episode• Why legitimate VP of Sales candidates won't accept roles that require them to carry a quota• The incentive conflict that happens when a VP is asked to sell while building a team• How needing a quota-carrying VP is usually a signal your company isn't ready for one yet//Welcome to The Ray J.

My guest today is Mike Masnick, the founder and CEO of Techdirt, the excellent and long-running tech policy blog. Mike has been writing about government overreach, privacy in the digital age, and other related topics for decades now, and he's an expert on how the internet and the surveillance state have grown in interconnected ways over the past two decades. I wanted to have Mike on the show to discuss the messy, fast-moving situation at Anthropic, the maker of Claude that now finds itself in a very ugly legal battle with the Pentagon. Instead of covering the daily drama, I wanted to dig in specifically on Anthropic's surveillance red line, and the important history and context around digital privacy in the U.S. that shapes how we should think about this going forward.  Links: AI bros wanted Trump — now they learn what happens when you tell him no | Techdirt OpenAI's ‘red lines' are written in the NSA's dictionary | Techdirt Anthropic is suing the Department of Defense | The Verge Anthropic launches new think tank amid Pentagon fight | The Verge How OpenAI caved to the Pentagon on AI surveillance | The Verge Inside the backlash to the AI war machine | Platformer The Pentagon is violating Anthropic's First Amendment rights | FIRE Why the Pentagon wants to destroy Anthropic | Ezra Klein / NYT Subscribe to The Verge to access the ad-free version of Decoder!

In this episode of "Scouting for Growth," Sabine VanderLinden welcomes Florian Graillot, founding partner at Astorya VC, for an in-depth conversation about the evolving landscape of risk management and insurance innovation. The discussion explores how risk management is shifting from static predictions to adaptive strategies designed for tomorrow's uncertainties, emphasizing the rise of the “frontier firm”—organizations that continuously learn, adapt, and act in real time.   Florian Graillot shares insights from his experience investing across insurtech, cyber, climate risk, and financial fraud, highlighting the increasing importance of technology, data, and AI.    Together, Sabine VanderLinden and Florian Graillot discuss the structural advantages Europe may hold in building AI-native, trust-driven business models and the critical role of agent-human collaboration in future risk management. They address the challenges faced by incumbents—including talent acquisition, cost efficiency, and profitable growth—and consider what distinguishes great founders in the frontier firm era.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   This episode underlines that risk management is no longer about controlling yesterday's uncertainties but engineering resilience for tomorrow. I was struck by Florian Graillot's argument that insurance leaders must rethink the entire risk value chain—not just the insurance segment—but encompassing prevention, risk assessment, capital efficiency, and claims. Simply layering AI onto legacy workflows isn't enough; true transformation requires intention, an openness to external partnerships, and a clear ROI focus.   It's clear to me that embracing AI isn't “optional practice"—it's existential. Organizations that experiment vigorously and collaborate with tech-first ventures gain a competitive edge, especially as emerging risks outpace traditional data models. Europe's more measured regulatory approach, sometimes critiqued as cautious, actually presents an opportunity to build trust-by-design, ensuring AI is explainable and aligned with both ethics and end-customer value.   Ultimately, the essence of any successful frontier firm lies in clarity of vision, a readiness for real change, and a focus on trust between leaders, employees, and customers. As the industry shifts, those who can articulate and measure technology's value, while empowering agent-human teams, will undoubtedly shape the risk landscape of the future.   BEST MOMENTS   "Risk management is no longer about predicting yesterday's risk. It is about designing for tomorrow's uncertainty."    "Either you consider emerging risks as a threat and retreat from the market, or you leverage technology to build resilience. That resilience is the optimistic side of the challenge."    "The perfect founding team is a blend of technology expertise and deep industry knowledge—you need both to create real value in insurance."    "If you expect big figures tomorrow morning, it will not work... But if you are ready to take more time and invest accordingly, innovation can deliver real and very nice results."    "In the end, technology doesn't remove risk. It actually reveals our choices."    ABOUT THE GUEST   Florian Graillot is the co-founder and founding partner at Astorya VC, one of Europe's most influential venture capital firms focused on early-stage insurtech, risk, and regulatory technology.    With 15 years of tech investing experience—ten of them specializing in insurtech—Florian Graillot has an unparalleled vantage point on the evolution of the insurance and risk landscape. He is passionate about backing founders who are redefining resilience, tackling climate, cyber, and financial fraud with cutting-edge data and algorithms, and reshaping how risk is owned and governed across enterprises.   ABOUT THE HOST   Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures. A builder of accelerators, investor, and co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, Sabine is known for asking the uncomfortable questions—about AI governance, risk, and trust. On Scouting for Growth, she decodes how real growth happens—where capital, collaboration, and courage meet.   If this episode sparked your thinking, follow Sabine VanderLinden on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram for more insights.   And if you're interested in sponsoring the podcast, reach out to the team at hello@alchemycrew.ventures

AI needs to be central to any organization's strategy today, but many are still not implementing the technology in the most effective ways. In this four-part special series, we'll share conversations from the recent HBR Strategy Summit to help you get ahead. In this episode, HBR editor in chief Amy Bernstein speaks with Nigel Vaz, CEO of Publicis Sapient, a digital transformation company. Vaz explains that many enterprise-wide AI initiatives fail because incentives, talent strategies and a sense of trust aren't considered thoroughly enough. He shares lessons from his front row seat to AI transformations in the last few years, and how he thinks you can create real operational value at scale.

Receive interest on your crypto, borrow against it without selling, and trade a range of assets. Now available in the U.S with 30 days of exclusive privileges.  Get started at nexo.com/unchained Onchain lending used to be a crypto-native curiosity. Now Cantor Fitzgerald is extending credit facilities through it, Apollo Global Management is acquiring governance tokens, and Coinbase users are borrowing against Bitcoin to buy houses, all running on DeFi protocols operating in the background. Maple Finance CEO Sid Powell and Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot sit at the center of this shift, and they have very different reads on what it takes to make institutional adoption real.  What are the actual limits to onchain lending growth right now? Does the DeFi mullet model work for everyone, or only for specific use cases? And as DAOs across the industry stumble under the weight of public governance, what structures actually let a protocol move fast without losing trust?  This conversation gets into the mechanics, the trade-offs, and the deals that are quietly redrawing the lines between DeFi and traditional finance.
