Most people think fatigue, brain fog, and low energy are just part of modern life.But what if the real issue isn't stress, age, or even sleep…What if it's mineral depletion?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Caroline Alan, Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, she's a health educator and leading voice in plant-based mineral replenishment, to break down what she calls “hidden hunger” — the cellular signal that your body does not have the raw materials it needs to function.We explore why your body can operate like a city in a brownout, why the brain is often the first place mineral deficiency shows up, and how modern soil depletion may be affecting the quality of the food you eat every day.In this episode, you'll learn:☑️ Why minerals are essential for mitochondrial energy production☑️ Why brain fog is often one of the first signs of depletion☑️ How modern farming practices reduce mineral density in food☑️ Why single-mineral supplements can create imbalance☑️ The difference between rock-based minerals and plant-based humic and fulvic substances☑️ How reverse osmosis and filtered water may be stripping essential minerals☑️ How mineral balance affects recovery, inflammation, and cognitive performanceCaroline shares her personal story of autoimmune challenges, adrenal burnout, and chronic inflammation, and how focusing on foundational mineral replenishment helped restore her energy, sleep, and mental clarity.If you feel like something is off but you can't quite explain it…If you struggle with fatigue, poor recovery, or brain fog…Or if you want to optimize your energy at the cellular level…This episode will help you understand why what's under the soil directly impacts what's happening inside you, and what you can do about it.

GigPig, the UK's leading live music marketplace, will expand into Ireland in early 2026 – its first international rollout – following investment from Best Nights VC. Best Nights VC, the venture capital investment unit of Mast-Jägermeister SE, has backed GigPig to accelerate expansion into new markets. The Ireland launch will begin in Dublin and Belfast, with GigPig working closely with independent venues, multi-site pub groups, hotels and local artists to build a strong, locally rooted network for live music. GigPig is already used by more than 3,000 venues and 18,000 artists across the UK. Since 2023, the platform has facilitated 120,000 gigs, saving hospitality venues £7m in booking fees and generating £24m for artists. On average, hospitality venues that host live music increase customer spend by up to 89%, footfall by 36%, 61% in dwell time and see a 48% uplift in repeat visits (Source: CGA Live Music Index) Kit Muir-Rogers, Co-Founder of GigPig, said: "We launched GigPig with the belief that live music shouldn't be confined to dedicated venues – that any hospitality space can be a stage. We've proven the case in the UK, bringing more live music to pubs, bars, hotels and restaurants, and helping to establish a seed music venue movement. Ireland has one of the strongest live music cultures in the world, and hospitality venues sit right at the heart of that. We want to support that culture with better tools and a simpler way for venues and artists to connect. This is the natural next step for GigPig and an important milestone as we begin to scale internationally." Lorrain, Managing Director at Best Nights VC, said: "GigPig is bringing people back together in real life. In a world dominated by digital experiences, their platform doesn't just make live music easier to access – it creates moments where artists, audiences and communities can truly connect. This is exactly the kind of impact Best Nights VC champions: businesses that power meaningful IRL experiences and strengthen the nightlife economy and entertainment culture. We're excited to support GigPig as they internationalise and continue turning nights out into real human connections." Founded in 2022, GigPig was created to solve a long-standing challenge in hospitality: while live music drives footfall, atmosphere and spend, the process of booking and managing it is often time-consuming, inconsistent and expensive. GigPig provides hospitality operators with a single platform to book, manage, pay for and promote live music, replacing fragmented processes with one system across operations, finance and marketing. In close partnership with operators and stakeholders across the UK hospitality sector, GigPig has also helped define and establish the seed music venue sector — the pubs, bars and hospitality spaces that provide artists with their first paid stages. Seed music venues form the foundation of the live music ecosystem, but were fragmented prior to GigPig's launch, leaving their contribution to the wider music industry largely unrecognised. Venues and artists interested in joining the platform ahead of launch are encouraged to register at GigPig.ie. Further European expansion is planned following a successful rollout in Ireland.

In dieser Deep-Dive-Folge spricht Markus mit Simona Hübl, Co-Founder & CEO von Nejo, über ihren Weg vom VC-Umfeld in die eigene Gründung und warum der Jobmarkt dringend neu gedacht werden muss. Nach mehreren Jahren im Investing stieg sie bewusst aus operativen VC-Rollen aus, um selbst zu gründen. Nach einem Pivot entstand Nejo, eine KI-gestützte Karriereplattform für den DACH-Raum. Simona erklärt, warum klassische Jobplattformen nur einen Bruchteil der verfügbaren Stellen sichtbar machen, weshalb Keyword-Matching oft ins Leere läuft und wie Nejo mit skills-basiertem, transparentem KI-Matching relevantere Ergebnisse ermöglichen will.Production: Hanna Moser Musik (Intro/Outro): www.sebastianegger.com

Was passiert, wenn du fast stirbst – und beschließt, dein Leben radikal sinnvoll zu nutzen? In der ersten Folge von Behind the Story spricht Bernhard Kalhammer mit Raphael Frenk – Seriengründer, Co-Founder von Glow25 und jemand, der weiß, wie sich Extremsituationen anfühlen. Vom beinahe tödlichen Raubüberfall als Student über den Aufbau von Primal State bis hin zur Explosion von Glow25 zur 100-Millionen-Marke – Raphael teilt offen, wie sich Hyperscale wirklich anfühlt. Und warum das Nervensystem dabei oft der wahre Preis ist. Doch dieses Gespräch geht tiefer. Es geht um: • Tod und Legacy • Meditation als Überlebensstrategie • Breathwork als Durchbruch • Spiritualität ohne Esoterik • Unternehmertum zwischen Raketenstart und Nervenzusammenbruch Eine ehrliche, ungefilterte Unterhaltung über Erfolg, Schmerz, Heilung – und die Frage: Was bleibt wirklich von uns?

In dieser Podcast-Folge spreche ich mit Fabrice Kathmann, CEO und Co-Founder von Nanuq, über die Elektrifizierung von Lkw-Flotten – und warum nicht der E-Lkw selbst das größte Problem ist. Schnell wird klar: Die eigentlichen Hürden liegen bei Ladeinfrastruktur, Netzanschluss und Energiemanagement, also genau dort, wo viele Logistiker keine eigenen Kompetenzen aufbauen wollen oder können. Fabrice erklärt, wie Nanuq mit einem Full-Service-Ansatz inklusive Truck Charging as a Service diese Komplexität reduziert und warum das Modell ohne Vorab-Investitionen für Mittelstand und Konzerne attraktiv ist. Wir sprechen über reale Wirtschaftlichkeit, Break-even-Berechnungen, typische Vorurteile gegenüber E-Lkw und die Bedeutung von Routenprofilen und langfristiger Planung. Auch politische Unsicherheit, fehlende Klarheit bei Förderungen und der Blick auf konkrete Projekte wie einen öffentlichen Megawatt-Ladepark in Bochum kommen zur Sprache. Am Ende wird deutlich: Die Elektrifizierung im Logistikbereich ist weniger eine Technikfrage als eine Frage von Umsetzung, Planung und klaren Entscheidungen.

Agade: The AI-Powered Wearable Robots That Protect Workers, Not Replace Them AI Meets Human CraftsmanshipThere's something poetic about a technology born to help people with muscular dystrophy finding its second life on factory floors and logistics warehouses. That's the story of Agade, an Italian deeptech startup that began as a research project at Politecnico di Milano and evolved into something far more ambitious: a mission to preserve human craftsmanship in an age of automation.I sat down with Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agade, to talk about their journey from healthcare innovation to industrial exoskeletons—and what it was like showcasing their latest product at CES 2026.The origin story matters here. Back in 2017, researchers at Politecnico di Milano started developing exoskeletons for people affected by muscular dystrophy. They created something different—a semi-active model powered by AI that recognizes when a user is lifting and responds accordingly. It wasn't just about motors and sensors. It was about intelligence.Then companies came knocking. Manufacturing firms, logistics operations, industries where human workers still matter because their skills, experience, and judgment can't be replaced by machines. They saw potential. Why not use this technology to protect the people doing the heavy lifting—literally?Agade was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: preserve craftsmanship against the physical toll of material handling. Not replace humans. Protect them.The company now has two products. The first, launched in 2024, focuses on shoulder assistance. The second—the one they brought to CES 2026—targets the lower back, which makes sense when you consider that back pain is practically an occupational hazard for anyone moving materials all day.What makes Agade's approach different is that semi-active AI system. The exoskeleton knows when you're lifting. It responds. It's not just a passive brace or a fully motorized suit that takes over. It's somewhere in between—smart enough to help, light enough to wear all day.Lorenzo emphasized something that resonated with me: the importance of feedback. From day one, Agade has been obsessed with real-world testing. Not lab conditions. Actual workers doing actual jobs. Because the buyer isn't the user—companies purchase these for their employees—and that creates a unique dynamic. You need both sides to believe in the technology.The CES experience brought that home. There's always the initial wow factor when someone sees a wearable robot with motors and sensors. But the real work happens after the demo, when users tell you what needs to improve. That's where the collaboration lives.And here's what struck me most about this conversation: Agade isn't trying to remove humans from the equation. They're trying to keep humans in it longer, healthier, and more capable. In a world racing toward full automation, there's something refreshing about a company betting on human skill—and building technology to protect it.The products are available globally. You can reach Agade through their website at agadexoskeletons.com, find them on LinkedIn and other social channels, and even arrange trials before committing to a purchase.For those of us watching the intersection of AI, robotics, and human labor, Agade represents a different path. Not humans versus machines. Humans with machines. Tools that amplify rather than replace.That's a story worth telling.Marco Ciappelli interviews Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO & Co-Founder of Agade, for ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series following CES 2026.>>> Marcociappelli.comGUESTLorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agadehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-aquilante-108573b0/RESOURCESAGADE: https://agade-exoskeletons.comAre you interested in telling your story?▶︎ Full Length Brand Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#full▶︎ Brand Spotlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#spotlight▶︎ Brand Highlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#highlightKEYWORDSAgade, exoskeleton, CES 2026, wearable robotics, AI, future of work, industrial exoskeleton, made in Italy, workplace safety, deeptech, robotics.

Raghu Markus is joined by Michael Leach, the first-ever Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer of the White House, for a conversation on how to have faith over fear in the face of uncertainty.Grab a copy of Michael's book, Faith Over Fear, to learn more about harnessing your own resilience.In this episode, Raghu and Michael take a journey through:Closing the gap between faith and fearSeeing faith as an action rather than a feeling How freedom comes when we loosen our grip on ego, fear, and identitySurrender and choosing presence even when outcomes are unclearThe book The First 90 Days and what culture truly meansMichael's time working in the White House with the Biden-Harris administrationThe meaningful pivot from our preference to our purposeEnduring and adapting through the many changes we face socially, politically, and personally Breaking down the wall between ‘us' and ‘them', taking inspiration from Ram Dass's There Is No OtherGiving ourselves ‘the fear test' and looking inward before we judge another personConsidering the cost of unity and choosing listening over labelingForming ourselves so that we are not driven by fear “Whatever you're not changing you're choosing, but here's the truth about change: it's not secured in a single election or moment of triumph. Democracy is an ongoing experiment, constantly tested by shifts in power, societal challenges, and the choices we make to protect (or erode) progress.

This week on The Narrative, Mike and David expose the "vice industry playbook" at the Ohio Problem Gambling Conference, where gambling giants like DraftKings and FanDuel sponsor the prevention efforts their business models actually undermine. They break down how gambling and marijuana interests buy silence from advocates while fueling "addiction for profit" revenue. The guys also tackle the New York Times’ admission that the "harmless" marijuana myth has failed, as daily use surpasses alcohol and teen suicides rise.

Will Caldwell started Snap after his first real estate software startup fizzled, pivoting from agent tools to regulated compliance data. He discovered lenders were required to buy hazard and flood certifications, and realized this was a "painkiller" product. He built Snap as a data and analytics platform for real estate and mortgage underwriting. Snap grew from a single California compliance product into a national flood data business, reaching $5M in revenue and 30 employees. The company charged per-loan transaction fees and embedded via API into mortgage software systems. With double-digit market share, Snap focused on customer experience, automation, and expanding wallet share inside lenders' workflows. In October 2024, Snap sold 51% of the company to Intercontinental Exchange, parent of ICE Mortgage Technology, at a double-digit revenue multiple. Will stayed on to scale the platform inside a much larger ecosystem. His key lesson: dominate a narrow niche, build a required product, and let strategic buyers find you. Key Takeaways Required Beats Optional – Legal compliance products create urgency and retention because customers must buy to complete revenue-generating transactions. Micro-Niche Entry – Starting in a narrow regulated segment let Snap win trust, then expand into much larger adjacent markets. API = Distribution – Embedding inside legacy systems turned Snap into a one-click button that scaled through partners' existing sales teams. Customer Experience Wins – In commodity data markets, faster, cheaper, simpler delivery became Snap's main competitive weapon. Quote from Will Caldwell, CEO and Co-Founder of Snap "You don't need to build a huge business to get a huge, life-changing exit. Just stay laser-focused. Don't chase shiny objects. I see many founders trying to boil the ocean. It is about staying focused on a single niche. "I think vertical SaaS has many great niches, and horizontal software is challenging. You need a lot of money to go after horizontal solutions across industries. However, with vertical SaaS products and niches, there is a lot of overlooked opportunity; the real estate vertical is one prime example."

Is Bitcoin still just a digital store of value, or is it quietly evolving into the financial engine of a new on-chain economy? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Callan Sarre, Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, to explore what happens when the world's most recognized crypto asset stops sitting idle and starts becoming programmable capital. We recorded against the backdrop of a sharp market correction that wiped out value across crypto and traditional assets alike, making for a timely and honest conversation about volatility, maturity, and why Bitcoin's next chapter may be defined by utility rather than price speculation.  Callan explains how the rise of ETFs and institutional flows is reshaping ownership, while decentralized infrastructure is working to ensure users can still access the asset's underlying power. At the heart of our discussion is tBTC, a trust-minimized bridge that moves native Bitcoin into DeFi without handing control to centralized custodians. Callan breaks down how Threshold's decentralized custody model works in practice and why removing single points of failure matters in a post-FTX world. We also explore the behavioral barriers that have kept long-term holders from putting their BTC to work, the real risks behind Bitcoin yield strategies, and the infrastructure required to make these tools accessible to a broader audience through familiar Web2-style experiences. The conversation also takes a global turn as we look at why Asia is accelerating Bitcoin innovation, how regulation is driving institutional adoption in Western markets, and what the shift from DAO-led governance to a lab execution model reveals about the realities of building at scale.  Looking ahead five years, Callan paints a picture of an integrated on-chain financial system where Bitcoin can be borrowed against, deployed, and settled instantly across shared liquidity rails, while still preserving the principles that made it attractive in the first place. So if Bitcoin becomes productive capital and the majority of financial activity moves on-chain, what does that mean for traditional finance, for long-term holders, and for the next wave of builders? And are we ready for a world where the most secure monetary asset also becomes the most composable?

Anisa Crespo shares how leaving a six-figure career, choosing faith over fear, and doing deep inner work allowed her to build wealth, freedom, and legacy; make 6figure days while empowering moms to rise, expand their vision, and lead with integrity. 5 Key Takeaways Confidence is a decision backed by daily action: growth comes from choosing who you're becoming, not waiting to feel “ready.” Fear keeps powerful women invisible, and faith must be chosen intentionally when doubt, success, or failure shows up. True success is freedom, not a number, freedom to live life on your terms while staying aligned with values. Not all money is good money: building wealth with integrity requires saying no to opportunities that drain your spirit. You don't need to start ahead to rise: stop comparing your chapter 2 to someone else's chapter 12 and expand what you believe is possible.

Unlocking Narrative Authority: The Transformative Power of Storytelling with Amanda JohnsonIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sits down with Amanda Johnson, the Co-Founder and CEO of Saved By Story, to explore how authentic narrative serves as the ultimate differentiator for high-performing leaders. Amanda, often referred to as the "Story Oracle," discusses how entrepreneurs can move beyond the "information dump" of traditional marketing to create deep, emotional connections that establish lasting authority. The conversation provides a roadmap for professionals who feel their message is getting lost in the noise and offers a strategic framework for turning lived experience into a powerful tool for business growth and personal transformation.Moving Beyond Information to Embodied AuthorityTrue storytelling acts as a core operating system for human connection, yet many entrepreneurs struggle to bridge the gap between their technical expertise and their personal journey. Amanda explains that while high-achievers often fear that vulnerability will undermine their credibility, the opposite is true; sharing the "messy middle" of a journey creates a bridge of empathy that data alone cannot build. By shifting the focus from simply selling a solution to narrating a transformation, leaders can invite their audience into a shared experience. This approach doesn't just inform a potential client—it evokes a physiological and emotional response that makes the brand's message unforgettable in a crowded marketplace.In an era dominated by rapid-fire AI content, the value of a "human-authored" story has never been higher because artificial intelligence fundamentally lacks the ability to embody a message. Amanda cautions that while AI can remix existing data, it cannot replicate the self-transformation that occurs when an author wrestles with their own beliefs during the writing process. Authenticity is something an audience can sense instinctively, and they are increasingly hungry for the nuance and "heartbeat" of real lived experience. For the modern thought leader, the act of writing a book or crafting a narrative is as much about their own evolution as it is about the final product delivered to the reader.To facilitate this deep work, Amanda utilizes a structured yet immersive process that allows busy executives to step away from daily distractions and tap into their creative flow. Through a combination of intensive retreats and consistent virtual accountability, she helps clients give themselves "permission to write badly" in the early stages to bypass the perfectionism that leads to writer's block. This iterative refinement ensures that the final narrative is not just a collection of facts, but a polished, high-impact tool that enhances every aspect of a leader's presence, from public speaking to brand positioning. By committing to this holistic storytelling model, entrepreneurs can secure their place as trusted authorities who lead with both heart and head.About Amanda JohnsonAmanda Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Saved By Story and is widely recognized as the "Story Oracle."

As we approach our 100th episode, I've been revisiting a few conversations that have stayed with me long after the microphones were turned off.Bill Valentine's episode was re-released because of the way he shared heart-centered, real-life wisdom while facing the end of his life. And today, I'm re-releasing my conversation with Serena Dugan for a different—but equally powerful—reason.Over the years, people have stopped me on the streets of my hometown of Bend to tell me that Serena's words gave them the courage to finally write the book that had been living inside them… or to leave a corporate job and start a small design company to help people feel more alive in their homes.These two episodes remind us that our "cracking open" moments come in many forms. Sometimes they arrive through confronting mortality, and sometimes they arrive through choosing to trust our creativity and make brave, life-altering changes.Serena is a beacon of authenticity and creative courage. She is an artist and textile designer based in Sausalito, California. With a background in both psychology and fine art, Serena has spent over 20 years shaping her voice as a painter, product designer, and the Chief Creative Officer of Serena & Lily, the home and lifestyle brand she founded in 2004.In 2020, she launched Serena Dugan Studio, her namesake collection of fabrics and wallpapers. Her art-driven textiles draw inspiration from around the world—from the breezy jet-set spirit of Capri in the '50s, to South American basket-weaving traditions, to the colorful mid-century architecture of Mexico City. Most recently, Serena collaborated with Erik Lindstrom on a line of rugs inspired by her artwork.In our conversation, we explore what it really means to trust your creative instincts, make decisions from your inner knowing, release ego, and find your way forward through grief and loss. This episode is both grounded and expansive—a reminder that creativity lives within all of us when we remain open to change and willing to listen to ourselves.Serena also speaks honestly about the value of making mistakes, starting over, and remembering that our achievements do not define who we are. As she so beautifully shares:“At the end of my days, I'm not going to look back on Serena and Lily and think that is my greatest success. I'm not going to look back on my textile collection and say that is what I'm most proud of. At the end of the day, it's the people I'm surrounded by that give life meaning. The rest of this is just our path to love.”This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that our creative work, our businesses, and our accomplishments are simply vehicles. The true masterpiece is how we love and connect with others along the way.If you've been waiting for permission to start that project, make that change, or trust the creative voice that's been quietly calling you forward—let this episode be your catalyst.

What happens when the security community stops debating whether AI belongs in the SOC and starts figuring out how to make it work? Monzy Merza, Co-Founder and CEO of Crogl, is helping answer that question, both through the autonomous AI SOC agent his company builds and through the inaugural AI SOC Summit, a community event designed to bring practitioners together for honest, no-nonsense conversation about what is real and what is hype in AI-driven security operations.Crogl builds what Merza describes as a "superhero suit" for SOC analysts. The platform investigates every alert in depth, working across multiple data lakes without requiring data normalization, and escalates only the issues that require human judgment. But the conversation here goes beyond any single product. Merza explains that the motivation for creating the AI SOC Summit came directly from community feedback. Security teams across enterprises are trying to determine what to buy, what to build, and how to govern AI in their environments, and they need a transparent, practical space to share those experiences.How are threat actors changing the game with agentic AI? Merza points to two critical shifts. First, adversaries are now conducting campaigns using agentic systems, which means defenders need to operate at the same speed. Second, the barrier to entry for sophisticated attacks has dropped significantly because agentic systems handle much of the technical detail, from crafting convincing phishing emails to automating post-exploitation activity. The implication is clear: security teams that do not adopt AI-driven capabilities risk falling behind attackers who already have.The AI SOC Summit, hosted March 3rd at the Hyatt Regency in Tysons, Virginia, is structured to serve the practitioners who are doing the daily work of security operations. The morning features keynotes from CISOs sharing what is working and what is not, along with perspectives on AI governance and privacy. The afternoon splits into two tracks: talk sessions from startups and established companies, and a five-and-a-half-hour hackathon where attendees get free access to frontier AI models and tools to experiment hands-on with real security data.Who should attend the AI SOC Summit? Merza identifies four key personas. SOC analysts at every tier who are buried in alert triage. Security engineers deploying AI-driven and traditional tools who want to see how other enterprises are rationalizing their investments. Incident responders and threat hunters who need to understand how to track agentic activity rather than just human activity. And builders, the security teams prototyping and testing AI capabilities in-house, who want to learn from what others have tried, what has failed, and what constraints can be overcome.What sets this event apart from the typical conference experience? The AI SOC Summit is intentionally vendor-agnostic. Sponsors range from reseller partners serving government organizations to household names like Splunk and Cribl, but the focus stays on community learning rather than product pitches. Many organizations still restrict employee access to frontier models and agentic systems, and the summit provides a space where attendees can kick the tires on these technologies without worrying about tooling costs or corporate restrictions. The goal is for every participant to leave with something practical they can take back and apply to their work immediately.This is a Brand Spotlight.

Tony chats with David Stafford, Co-Founder and COO at Substance, they are a budding insurtech, currently in pre-seed funding round, that is building an An MGA that is powered by AI and robotics to completely change the risk evaluation and loss prevention process focused in warehouse and supply chain space. Their technology will have applicability to warehouses, manufacturing, and the fast growing space of data centers. They completely turn the model upside down with proprietary products starting in property. Instead of a loss control inspection they create a deep digital twin of the facility to 2 mm of precision using video, sensors and lidar. Once the policy is written they leave behind the robot to continuously scan the facility in case something changes, think of it like an industrial roomba, and his name is FELIX. An incredible conversation you wouldn't miss! #Insurance #insurtech David Stafford: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-stafford-b842048/Substance: https://substance-corp.com/Video Version: https://youtu.be/ICfUpKMSHQs
