In this episode of Unearthed, co-hosts Joe Cavatoni and John Reade, Senior Market Strategists for the World Gold Council, are joined by Amanda Krichman, Chief Operating Officer of Funds at the World Gold Council. Together, they unpack the fundamentals of gold-backed ETFs, taking a closer look at how these products work and address some of the most common myths in the market. The conversation covers everything from how gold ETFs are created and redeemed to the role of authorised participants (APs) in maintaining price stability and liquidity. Together, they also reflect on 20 years since the launch of GLD, the first U.S.-listed gold ETF, and explore how ETFs have revolutionised access to gold for both retail and institutional investors. Notable Quotes:  “An ETF, or as it's known, an exchange-traded fund, pools assets from many different investors and gives them an easy option to buy into a diversified product. They'll buy shares of this product, which will allow them to get access to many different underlying investments.” — Amanda Krichman   “I've seen it with my own eyes. For the two products that we work on with GLD and GLDM, the gold is there. The shares of the fund won't be released until the physical gold bars are delivered and allocated within the accounts for each of the ETFs.” — Amanda Krichman  “You might be wondering, how do these authorised participants make money? It's based on the arbitrage of how that's trading in the secondary market and to help keep the price as close as possible, less expensive to the underlying value of the gold per share.”  — Amanda Krichman  Disclaimer:  For additional information on SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD®) and SPDR® Gold MiniShares (GLDM®), please visit www.spdrgoldshares.com.   The information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or offer for the purchase or sale of gold, any gold-related products or services or any other products, services, securities or financial instruments.

Kurt Lunkwitz, Chief Operating Officer at ProRx Pharma, describes the role compound pharmacies play in filling gaps when certain drugs are in short supply and providing personalized medications for patients. Compound pharmacies offer a wide range of customized formulations and delivery methods to meet the specific needs of patients, particularly in the areas of functional and preventative medicines. These pharmacies are enabling a shift towards precision medicine and individualized care, responding to the market demand for alternative and preferred formulations of medications.  Kurt explains, "There's primary clientele and then there's secondary clientele. Our primary clientele includes a host of prescribers, medical clinics, and could be telemedicine-type companies, and med spas. There are tens of thousands of these types of practitioner offices across the country, and it's a wide and booming industry as it relates to functional medicine, alternative medicine, or as we like to refer to it, preventative care. And the secondary customer would be the patient themselves. So the medications that ProRx is compounding would be ordered through these physicians' offices, these practices, and for their particular patient and customer base." "One of the primary functions in the role of a 503 B outsourcing facility, or a number of them across the country, is to step in and fill this gap. If the primary manufacturer, the pharmaceutical manufacturer, has a disruption in the supply chain, or simply just can't keep up with the demand." "If we want to take a look at one of the largest supply chain gaps that has existed, and it's been a very popular topic of conversation here more recently, this would relate a lot to some of the GLP-1 medications, both semaglutide and tirzepatide. So these were two medications that ProRx participated in and helped to fill the shortage gap. There were a handful of months where ProRx went into production, and we helped to fill tens of thousands of prescriptions for patients of medical necessity who badly needed these medications."  #ProRxPharma #CompoundPharmacy #DrugShortageList  prorxpharma.com Download the transcript here

Discover the evolution of leadership in the payments industry through the lens of someone who's lived it. Sheffali Welsh, Chief Operating Officer of The Clearing House, brings a unique perspective shaped by her unconventional journey from cognitive science studies to overseeing operations for America's only private payment network operator.The payments landscape demands a special kind of leadership – one that balances innovation with stability, risk-taking with prudence, and technical expertise with people-centered approaches. Sheffali articulates how leadership in financial services has transformed from the hierarchical, top-down model of decades past to today's collaborative, empowering style that connects employees to purpose and embraces flexibility. Her experiences navigating the 2008 financial crisis as chief of staff to Citigroup's global CFO provided invaluable lessons about leadership during turbulence that continue to shape her approach today.What sets great leaders apart? According to Sheffali, it's "grit" – that powerful combination of passion and perseverance particularly evident in women who've had to play the long game in their careers. She makes a compelling case for how this quality is perfectly suited to the payments industry, where innovations like real-time payments require both visionary thinking and patient execution. Her insights on the distinction between mentorship and sponsorship illuminate why women still need more advocates who will speak up for them when they're not in the room. Looking ahead, she's watching the emerging digital assets and stablecoin landscape as payments' next frontier.Listen now and discover why playing the long game through strategic lateral moves might be your best career strategy in the dynamic world of payments.

In this special edition of the Business of Cannabis Podcast, we go From Anecdote to Evidence with Dr Anne Katrin Schlag, Head of Research at Drug Science, and Graham Woodward, Chief Operating Officer at Releaf. Together, they explore how the UK can move from anecdotal patient stories to robust, real-world evidence — and why this shift is vital for expanding safe, trusted access to cannabis-based medicines. They unpack how clinics like Releaf are investing in quality-of-life surveys and data-driven patient care, what this means for regulators like NICE, and whether more solid evidence can finally open doors with the BMA, Royal Colleges and wider healthcare system. For anyone interested in how data and patient outcomes can unlock the next stage of UK medical cannabis, this is a conversation not to miss.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. “We Want a Deal, Not a Steal” — India Holds Firm on Trade India and the US have pushed their trade deal deadline from July 9 to mid-July, even as President Trump enforces steep retaliatory tariffs on 14 other nations. India, however, isn't on that list yet. The deal is awaiting Trump's final sign-off, but Indian negotiators are in no rush. “Vietnam signed too quickly—we're drawing red lines,” said a senior official, referring to contentious issues like agriculture, dairy, GM seeds, and digital trade. India currently faces a 26% tariff, and with Trump's August 1 tariff trigger looming, the stakes are high. Trade experts warn these deals reflect pressure, not parity. Apple's New Ops Boss is India-Born Sabih Khan After nearly 30 years behind the scenes, Apple veteran Sabih Khan has been named Chief Operating Officer, taking over from Jeff Williams. Born in Moradabad, Khan moved from Singapore to the US, earning degrees in economics and mechanical engineering. Joining Apple in 1995, he's been instrumental in shaping its global supply chain, driving sustainability, and expanding US manufacturing. CEO Tim Cook praised Khan's values-driven leadership, calling him “a brilliant strategist” and “central architect of Apple's supply chain.” Khan officially steps into the role later this month. India's Warship Surge to Counter China India is arming up at sea. Over the next year, the Navy will induct six homegrown stealth frigates—Udaygiri, Taragiri, Mahendragiri, Himgiri, Dunagiri, and Vindhyagiri—under Project 17A. These 6,670-tonne vessels, with 75% indigenous content, are armed with BrahMos missiles and cutting-edge tech. The ₹45,000-crore project marks a significant upgrade over earlier Shivalik-class ships. INS Udaygiri has already been delivered, and the rest will follow by August 2026. PM Modi, at a rare tri-commissioning earlier this year, called it a step toward a self-reliant Navy. By 2047, the Navy aims to be fully ‘atmanirbhar' with 60 warships under construction. Modi Bags Brazil's Top Civilian Honour In Brazil, PM Modi was awarded the Grand Collar of the National Order of the Southern Cross—the country's highest civilian honour—for deepening India-Brazil ties and advancing global cooperation. “This is a moment of immense pride for 140 crore Indians,” Modi said, calling President Lula the “architect” of the strategic partnership. This is Modi's 26th international award since 2014. Just days earlier, he received Trinidad and Tobago's top honour—the Order of the Republic—making him the first foreign leader to earn it. Trump Targets BRICS with 10% Tariff Threat Donald Trump has launched a fresh broadside against BRICS. Calling the bloc an attempt to “destroy the dollar,” Trump warned that all BRICS nations—including India—will face a 10% tariff if he returns to office. “If they want to play games, I can play too,” he said. Trump claimed BRICS is not a “serious threat,” but accused it of trying to dethrone the dollar as the world's standard. He slammed President Biden's handling of the dollar's global status, saying losing it would be like “losing a world war.” Trump added, “The dollar is king. We're going to keep it that way.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

 In 2024 the Lithium market saw huge price drops related to oversupply, a slowing EV adoption rate globally, as well as macroeconomic headwinds. Is this a pause or a more structural challenge? What is the long-term demand picture? How does geopolitics fit within that? Does technological change threaten the outlook? And in such a volatile market, why is risk management essential? Our guest is Caspar Rawles, Chief Operating Officer at Benchmark, the Independent Price Reporting Agency for Critical Minerals, including Lithium,  which will soon be launching three Lithium futures contracts with the Intercontinental Exchange, ICE. What are those contracts and what do they mean for the sector?

In this two-part solo session, I walk back a premature critique and double down on a deeper conversation that matters: how we define, deploy, and sometimes misunderstand the Chief Operating Officer role.Part one is a public apology—directed to Claire Hughes Johnson, one of the most insightful operational minds in the game. After misinterpreting her remarks on COO hiring and org design, I did what too few leaders do: I listened, re-evaluated, and took ownership. Turns out, Claire and I are more aligned than not. Her “test before you title” framework is brilliant, and her emphasis on minimizing a bad COO's “blast radius” should be required reading for every founder.Part two? It's personal. A reflection on the stages of organizational growth, the blurred lines of responsibility, and why I believe the COO role should not be erased—but reimagined. I talk fractional leadership, capability mapping, internal talent development, and the nuanced difference between removing a role versus redesigning it. And I replant my flag: I stand for thoughtful org design that protects employees, drives operational clarity, and treats people as more than just interchangeable parts.This episode is about listening before speaking. It's about humility. It's about operating with precision—and compassion. WhetherAsk ChatGPT

The last few administrations have been frustrated that process takes so long and still doesn't give hiring managers the best set of possible recruits. Here with ideas about a better way to approach hiring tech talent is the Chief Operating Officer of Noble Reach Foundation, Pat Tamburrino.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off a new weekly theme, "Debunking Myths, and we discussed the statement, "There is no absolute Truth". One of our special guests was Rebecca McLaughlin.

We are very pleased to share a special Fourth of July edition of COBT. Earlier in the week, we had the opportunity to tour the Lone Star Flight Museum (LSFM) and to sit down with Jerry Scott, LSFM's Chief Operating Officer and Director of Flight Operations. The museum draws visitors from all over the world and features flying historical aircraft, many of them iconic military planes. Jerry was named COO in June 2024 and has 40 years of experience in aviation sales as well as people, project, and logistics management. He previously served as a volunteer at LSFM for 15 years and as a crew chief and plane captain for several of the museum's aircraft. For our conversation, we sat right next to a B-25, the same type of aircraft flown by Jimmy Doolittle and his squadron. This particular plane has been meticulously restored to the exact standards of the Doolittle Raiders' aircraft, making it an especially unique setting for our discussion. We were thrilled to visit with Jerry and to get to spend time with the team at the museum. Special thanks to LSFM's CEO Anna Hawley for all her help in particular. In our conversation, we explore the parallels between modern military missions and World War II operations, the extraordinary bravery of the Doolittle Raiders, the unique similarity of the Doolittle mission to the recent US strikes on Iran, and Jerry's personal journey and passion for aviation. We discuss LSFM's mission to honor veterans and preserve their stories for future generations through a living, flying museum, the pilot training progression required to fly historic aircraft, the museum's move from Galveston to Ellington Field after Hurricane Ike, and the critical role of volunteers in keeping the operations running. Jerry shares insights into the museum's reach, welcoming over 100,000 visitors annually, its rotating aircraft exhibits, and its broader community impact through educational programs and events. We reflect on Jimmy Doolittle's legacy, the spirit of innovation and sacrifice that defines American aviation history, and the museum's vision to inspire future leaders. As mentioned, the “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” film is available on Amazon Prime (linked here). A huge thank you to Jerry and the team at LSFM for their support in making today's episode possible. We highly recommend planning a trip to the museum to see the aircraft up close! To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted a handful of key events that influenced markets in 1H25 including President Trump's import tariffs (Day of Liberation), Trump's One Big Beautiful Budget Bill (OBBB), the Israeli-Iranian War/U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and OPEC's substantial/surprising accelerated oil output hikes. For our Canadian friends, we hope you had a fantastic Canada Day on Tuesday. For everyone celebrating the Fourth today, we hope you have a great day filled with food, family, friends, and fun. God bless you, and God Bless America. Have a wonderful Independence Day!

As demand for electricity skyrockets, large flexible loads like data centers and Bitcoin miners are reshaping how – and where – energy infrastructure is built. But integrating these loads into a grid already under pressure requires a rethink of both project development and power market participation.

In this episode of Transmission, Quentin is joined by Brock Petersen, COO at Satoshi Energy, to unpack how digital infrastructure is co-locating with renewables – and why that could unlock new opportunities for grid flexibility and clean energy investment. From the load profiles of AI data centers to the geographic arbitrage of Bitcoin mining, this episode explores what these emerging industries mean for grid planning, transmission bottlenecks, and the economics of new build generation.
In this episode, you'll learn:How co-location unlocks stranded renewables: Why pairing flexible data center load with renewable assets helps monetize energy that would otherwise go unused.Bitcoin vs. AI load profiles: The key differences in cooling needs, flexibility, and infrastructure requirements.ERCOT's load boom: What 135 GW of new load requests means for one of the world's most dynamic power markets.The role of transmission and interconnection queues: How load-following strategies could help relieve pressure on grid infrastructure.What utilities and developers should know: Insights for navigating site selection, market design, and emerging opportunities in flexible load integration.About our guestBrock Petersen is the Chief Operating Officer of Satoshi Energy, a Houston-based energy technology company pioneering the integration of renewable energy with data center operations.

Stan Reiff, CPA and nonprofit consultant at CapinCrouse, has seen the faithfulness of God in difficult circumstances firsthand. Stan was born on the mission field, and in his early twenties, he and his wife felt called to missions like the generations before him. But Stan soon realized that the life of ministry that he was called to would look nothing like the life he had imagined. After many years of traumatic and costly circumstances, Stan was led on a journey that would take him from missionary to teacher to CPA and from Alaska to Atlanta where God would use his missions experience and accounting background to serve many nonprofits.    At CapinCrouse, Stan helps faith-based nonprofits strengthen their governance, strategy, and operations, and his mission-field experience provides a deep personal understanding of ministry challenges to his consulting work. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer at Crown Financial Ministries and now draws on over 35 years of experience to help organizations thrive with integrity and purpose.    Stan is also passionate about leading his family in a legacy of generosity, Kingdom work, and entrepreneurship, and he is full of practical wisdom to guide people into doing the same in their own families.   Major topics include: Stan's remarkable backstory of faith and missions work in Alaska Navigating traumatic events and a crisis of faith Pivoting into bivocational ministry  Becoming CPA through Alaska Game and Fish Volunteering as budget coaches and seminar instructors with Crown Became chief financial officer at Crown Financial after 20 years volunteering Establishing rhythms and protocols for executive sabbaticals  Helping CFM transition from radio to sharing principle world wide Story of coming to work for CapinCrouse  Personal takeaways from leaders in the generosity space Their family's journey to a financial finish line Equipping kids and grandkids for generosity  Developing family core values Their “family legacy experiment” What to look for in an organization as a donor QUOTES TO REMEMBER “If I can't be on the front lines of ministry in a remote setting, then I will be part of the supply chain, and I will do the best I possibly can to help those who can go and are willing to go to have the best administrative support possible.” “In many ways, I had to give up my passion to be a full time missionary and that was really difficult spiritually. But I came to understand that God had chosen to give us a child with disabilities, and that became my primary ministry.”  “I love that I get to continue to marry my passion for missions, for ministry, along with the accounting experiences that God's given me, and I get to live the dream in an ongoing fashion.” “For me, the real learning came when I understood that God owns it all, not just the ten percent.” “Money really isn't a big deal. You can lose all your money in a day, and you can get it all back in a day.” “Money is never the issue, it's just an indicator of where the heart is.” “It's one thing to have a legacy of faith that's generations long, but it's also exciting to be in that first or second generation. It comes back to our first guiding principle, that faith has to be personal and it has to be yours, not some family member's that's preceded you.” “Kingdom expands when you have more followers of Jesus who are committed to following Him in business, ministry or a combination. But it takes all of us working together to make sure the next generation is equally as passionate, committed, and engaged in Kingdom work.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW CapinCrouse Injoy Stewardship Solutions Crown Financial Ministries National Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills) Ronald Blue and Co., CPA (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Philippians 4:12-13 | The Secret of Being Content I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

In the era of one-click checkouts, Prime delivery expectations, and endless online channels, brands are pouring millions into customer acquisition—only to lose customers post-purchase. Why? Because they can't deliver what they just sold. Today's guest says the future of e-commerce success doesn't lie in a flashier storefront or a new influencer strategy—it lies in mastering the messy, invisible world of inventory.
