The DCU's next chapter has already arrived. Season 2 of James Gunn's Peacemaker dropped its first episode on HBO Max earlier today. This is, of course, the second season of the spin-off show from The Suicide Squad, but that description almost feels degrading because I kind of think season 1 might have even been better than The Suicide Squad. It's taken much longer than expected to get season 2, thanks in no small part to James Gunn being hired as the Co-CEO of DC Studios mere months after season 1 released. He has also put out Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (& the Holiday Special), Creature Commandos and Superman since. Now, the show has extra baggage because it's being folded into a whole new continuity. I adore James Gunn's films and shows, but I found it an interesting choice that Team Peacemaker would be some of the only characters carrying over into this new universe. So, is the new Peacemaker canon in the DCU explained, and what connections does this first episode have to Superman? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED breakdown of episode 1!

Jüngere unterschätzen eigene Lebenserwartung Laut Vorab-Ergebnissen der neuen DIA-Studie 50plus glauben 17 % der unter 50-Jährigen, nur 70 Jahre oder weniger alt zu werden. Bei den über 50-Jährigen sind es lediglich 7 %. „Viele haben als gedanklichen Anker die Lebensdauer ihrer Eltern oder Großeltern. Da die Lebenserwartung seit Jahrzehnten steigt, führt das zu einer zu niedrigen Annahme“, erklärt DIA-Sprecher Klaus Morgenstern. Die Befragung zeigt zudem deutliche Unterschiede nach sozialem Status: Wer sich der Unterschicht zuordnet, geht deutlich seltener von einem hohen Alter aus als Befragte aus Mittel- oder Oberschicht.

Synopsis: Some of the most game-changing ideas in healthcare come from unexpected intersections—where engineering meets biology, and where data meets patient urgency. This episode of Biotech 2050 dives into that exact convergence with a look at how one visionary leader helped pioneer blood-based cancer diagnostics. Co-CEO & Co-Founder of Guardant Health, AmirAli Talasaz, shares the story behind building one of biotech's most impactful companies. From a graduate student navigating genomics for the first time to raising over $3 billion and leading a public company, he reflects on lessons learned, obstacles faced, and what it takes to create a patient-first culture at scale. The conversation explores the technology behind liquid biopsies and companion diagnostics, the challenges of insurance reimbursement, and how Guardant's innovations are helping detect recurrence and screen for early-stage cancers—all through a simple blood test. Hosted by Biotech 2050 Co-Founder Rahul Chaturvedi, this episode is packed with insights on biotech leadership, pharma partnerships, and building a company that scales with both urgency and heart. Biography: AmirAli Talasaz is the co-CEO of the leading precision oncology company, Guardant Health, which he co-founded in 2012 with Helmy Eltoukhy. Prior to co-founding Guardant Health, he was senior director of Diagnostics Research at Illumina and led the efforts for emerging clinical applications of next-generation genomic analysis. Before Illumina, he founded Auriphex Biosciences, which focused on purification and genetic analysis of circulating tumor cells for cancer management. Talasaz received his PhD in electrical engineering and MSc in management science from Stanford University.

In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Jennifer Lee, President and Co-CEO of Intradiem, about how AI—particularly predictive AI—can improve agent well-being, enhance customer experiences, and reduce costly attrition in telecom contact centers. Jennifer Lee Lee, who began her career as a telecom contact center agent, explains that the late summer season is one of the busiest times of the year. With back-to-school moves, new service activations, billing issues, and early product launches, call volumes can spike dramatically. Agents face repetitive, high-stress interactions that, over time, can lead to burnout and turnover. “Stress compounds,” Lee notes. “Minor stressors throughout the day add up to significant fatigue, and without intervention, that can lead to true burnout.” Intradiem's predictive AI can analyze millions of daily data points to identify when an agent is at risk, triggering automatic wellness breaks or supervisor interventions. According to Lee, agents reaching a “critical” burnout level face a 70% chance of leaving within two weeks without support. Beyond agent well-being, predictive AI can also optimize routing, ensure customers are connected to the right resource the first time, and provide agents with real-time customer context. Lee contrasts this with poor chatbot deployments that trap customers, noting that the best AI solutions enhance the customer journey while keeping humans in complex, empathy-driven interactions. “Technology should support humans, not replace them,” Lee emphasizes. “AI has capabilities that no other technology has had before, and when deployed thoughtfully, it can transform both the employee and customer experience.” More information about Intradiem's solutions is available at intradiem.com.

Brad Stroh, co-CEO and co-founder of Achieve, shares how he's built one of the most impactful fintech companies by taking a completely different path from the typical Silicon Valley playbook. Through bootstrapping rather than chasing venture capital, Brad and his co-founder have created a mission-driven business that has served over 1.5 million people and resolved $18 billion in debt since 2002.• Understanding the information asymmetry in financial services that disadvantages consumers making major financial decisions• How Achieve flips traditional asset management by focusing on liability management for the underserved• The evolution of consumer debt over two decades through multiple economic cycles• Applying AI to create "zero-click financial services" that automatically optimize consumer finances• The importance of saying no to opportunities that don't align with core mission• Brad's leadership philosophy centered on being intentional and deliberate• Making the shift from viewing monthly payments to understanding total cost of debt• How economic uncertainty and inflation are affecting consumer financial stability• The importance of balancing regulation with innovation in financial servicesWhen everyone else was chasing venture capital and quick exits back in 2002, Brad and his Stanford Business School classmate Andrew Hauser made the radical decision to bootstrap their company. Their reasoning was profound yet simple: they wanted to build something meaningful that would last decades, not just until the next funding round. This patient approach has paid extraordinary dividends.Brad shares how banks leverage vast data resources and experience to maximize profits from consumers who may only go through major financial transactions a handful of times in their lives. By flipping this dynamic and democratizing financial knowledge, Achieve helps struggling and striving families navigate their way to stability.The conversation explores how consumer debt has evolved through multiple economic cycles – from the dot-com bust through the Great Recession and pandemic.

What if building a brand partnership with a major entertainment property could happen in 5 minutes instead of 6 months—and drive 10x better results?

Fuel taxes are set to be replaced by road user charges for all vehicles - and it's left many wondering how these changes will be implemented.

Eroad co-CEO Mark Heine says the company's been making use of electronic road user charges (eRUC) for years and says the technology's there to get this going. "We're still working through with the Government for the pricing for that, but our target is to get it as cheap as possible." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Friday sports edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will is joined by “The Film Guy,” Brooks Austin to dive into the upcoming college football season, starting with the biggest name of them all: Arch Manning. Brooks says Arch has the poise, arm talent, and command of Steve Sarkisian's offense to be special, easily a better upgrade over Quinn Ewers.  They also run through the national QB landscape: why LaNorris Sellers might be the best quarterback in the country, how LSU's Garrett Nussmeier could break out, and why Oklahoma may be in trouble despite bringing in a big-name coordinator. Brooks offers his playoff picks in addition to his surprise teams to watch. Also, can James Franklin finally win a big one at Penn State? Don't bet on it. Will then talks with Cody Campbell, Texas Tech Chairman of the Board of Regents, member of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition, and Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Double Eagle Energy Holdings, about how to fix college sports. Campbell warns that without serious reform, NIL and over-professionalization will kill Olympic and women's sports. But with the right leadership and cooperation, he's confident college athletics can be saved, and Texas Tech, he hints, is just getting started.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with James Reynolds, Co-CEO and Co-founder of Coco5, and what a conversation it was.  From the South Side of Chicago to Wall Street to the beverage aisle, James's journey is packed with powerful lessons on grit, reinvention, and staying true to your purpose. He opened up about a pivotal moment in college that transformed his life — when he walked away from basketball to pursue academics — and how that same clarity of purpose led him to fall in love with a product called Coco5. What started as a health-conscious investment turned into a mission-driven beverage brand that's redefining coconut water. James and his team, including NBA stars like Devin Booker and D'Angelo Russell, took a product they genuinely loved and scaled it into a clean hydration brand backed by real athletes — and more importantly, beloved by moms and kids. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: * James shares the moment he "stopped playing small" and took charge of his future — a life-altering decision that still fuels his discipline today.   * How a chance encounter with Coco5 led him from investment banking to CPG founder, driven by a passion for health and hydration.   * The surprising truth about their core customer: it's not just athletes — it's health-conscious moms buying for their kids.   * Why saying “no” to 2,000+ Walmart stores helped them win — and how going narrow and deep created long-term success.   * The secret behind their flavor-first strategy: “Kids don't care if it's good for them — it has to taste amazing.”   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode — it's a powerful story of reinvention, discipline, and building a brand with lasting impact. If you've ever wondered what it takes to succeed in CPG without experience, this is a must-listen.   For more on Coco5, visit: https://coco5.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Color More Lines: https://www.colormorelines.com/get-started Color More Lines is a team of ex-Amazonians and e-commerce operators who help brands grow faster on Amazon and Walmart.

 “This episode contains explicit language and may not be suitable for all audiences.” The journey from developer to co-CEO of a global payments provider isn't for the faint of heart. Monika Liikamaa knows this firsthand. As the co-founder of Enfuce, she's built a company that processes cards for 24 million cardholders worldwide, pioneering cloud-native solutions when the industry thought it impossible.Monika's story begins in northern Sweden, where Finnish parents raised a future engineer who would transform multiple industries. After cutting her teeth in telco during Finland's Nokia boom and subsequent crash, she found herself building a bank from scratch as a consultant. This experience sparked a revelation – she was a builder at heart, drawn to challenges others deemed too difficult. When offered the chance to create a financial institution capable of handling three countries, three currencies, two time zones and revolving credit, she couldn't resist.What makes Monika's leadership philosophy stand out is its refreshing directness. "Openness, honesty and trust," she explains, form the bedrock of effective leadership. She advocates for diversity not as a checkbox exercise but as a competitive advantage. With approximately 50% male and female employees representing over 20 nationalities, Enfuce harnesses diverse perspectives to create more effective payment solutions. This approach acknowledges a simple reality in payment design: women make the majority of household payment decisions, yet have historically been underrepresented in designing those very systems.Perhaps most revealing is Monika's response to crisis. When UNICEF needed relief cards for Ukrainian refugees, her team delivered in days what normally takes months. This experience crystallized what drives her – solving meaningful problems that make a tangible difference in people's lives. It's the same spirit behind the "Fortitude Pledge" she launched, challenging payment industry players to combat human trafficking and financial crime.For those looking to enter the payments industry, Monica offers practical wisdom: understand problems deeply, gain perspective from different sides of the table, and remember that no company has been built exactly like yours before.

When I think of a product worth buying and a brand worth supporting, Avocado Mattress is at the top of my list.   In this episode, I sat down with Vy Nguyen, Co-CEO of Avocado Mattress, to discuss what it truly takes to build a mission-driven, vertically integrated company in a category dominated by commodity players.  Vy's story is rooted in deep gratitude for his family's immigrant journey, and he brings that same heart and intention to everything he does—from sourcing organic materials to creating calm, customer-first retail spaces. We discussed the early days of Avocado, the team's commitment to vertical integration, and how their transparency and dedication to sustainability earned them B Corp certification and customer trust. What stood out most was Vy's belief that consumers want to buy from brands doing the hard work, and his team is doing just that. Key highlights from this episode:   * How Vy's family journey from Vietnam inspired his values and entrepreneurial mindset.   * Why Avocado chose to own their manufacturing, from latex factories to inner springs.   * What makes an organic mattress truly organic—and why it's hard to fake.   * The impact of COVID and tariffs on their business (and how they adapted).   * How Avocado brings its story to life through experience centers and retail partnerships.   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this thoughtful and inspiring episode as we explore how one brand is raising the bar in an industry that's long overdue for change.

Find part 1 of this episode here.In April 2025, some organizations and health centers receiving Title X funding were given sudden notice by the current administration that critical funding would be withheld. This action by the federal government threatens roughly $65.8 million in Title X funds and implicates an estimated 846,000 patients. It has resulted in massive layoffs, stopped contracts, mental strain, and confusion for both employees and patients. As patients are not receiving the care they need due to a stop in funding, possible results could include rising rates of unintended pregnancies, rising rates of STIs, poorer maternal health outcomes, and later diagnoses of breast and cervical cancers.  We sit down with CEOs and executive directors of some of these impacted organizations, including: Stephanie McDowell, Executive Director of Bridgercare in MontanaAyana Bradshaw, President and CEO of AccessMatters in PennsylvaniaAmy Moy, Co-CEO with Essential Access Health in California and HawaiiSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Daniel Brady is the Co-CEO of Orita, a software company that improves email deliverability. As a neuroscientist turned data scientist, he has helped leading e-commerce brands organize their data sets. Daniel has also worked with CEOs, CTOs, and other leaders to build eCommerce companies. In this episode… Email marketing promises big returns, but many brands unknowingly sabotage their success. They blast generic campaigns, over-segment based on recency, and trigger inbox fatigue that leads to declining engagement, retention, and revenue. How can e-commerce brands rebuild trust, retain overlooked buyers, and turn emails from a cost center into a compounding asset? Neuroscientist turned machine learning strategist Daniel Brady has developed a behavior-driven approach to email marketing. By analyzing long-term customer behavior beyond recent clicks, brands can use intelligent segmentation to both reduce email volume and boost conversions. Daniel recommends recategorizing inactive subscribers, validating leads before sending campaigns, and treating email engagement as a dynamic two-way relationship. He also emphasizes the importance of rethinking post-signup flows, preventing deliverability spirals, and aligning marketing cadence with buyer behavior. Join William Harris in today's episode of the Up Arrow Podcast as he chats with Daniel Brady, Co-CEO of Orita, about turning email marketing into a scalable, intelligent revenue driver. He explains how neuroscience informs strategic audience segmentation, the impact of acquisition on retention, and how to adapt as you scale.

How can you find a mentor?   For this Women of Color Rise episode, I speak with Veronica Conforme, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Greenhouse E3, a national nonprofit developing diverse pipelines of future education leaders. Veronica describes herself as a rebel—she turned down her father's advice to become an accountant and instead set out to change the world. Her career includes serving as COO of the NYC Department of Education, leading UP Education Network in Massachusetts, and serving as Chancellor of the Education Achievement Authority of Michigan.    Veronica credits mentorship as a key to her success—but not as luck. It came through clarity, purpose, and values-aligned work. “You have to be really clear about what you're trying to achieve,” she says. “I grew up in the South Bronx, saw inequity firsthand, and knew I wanted to disrupt systems and change outcomes for communities like mine.”   Because she led with purpose, mentors found her through the work. “I wasn't from the education sector, but when I helped principals rethink how to use their budgets to serve their communities, people noticed. They'd say, ‘Come work with us.' That's where mentorship happened—in the work, through shared values.”   Veronica offers this advice for finding a mentor: Get clear on your mission. What change do you want to make in the world? Be open. Stay open to help, new relationships, and new perspectives—even if they come from unexpected places. Do the work. Lead with your values, show what you're about, and opportunities will follow. Make it mutual. Mentorship should be a two-way street. “You're not only pouring into me,” she says. “I'm bringing something to the table too.”   Thank you, Veronica, for your leadership and your wisdom.   Get full show notes and more information here:https://analizawolf.com/episode-106-how-to-find-a-mentor-with-veronica-conforme-co-founder-and-co-ceo-of-greenhouse-e3
