Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast was a conversation that was recorded live at Morningstar's Investment Conference in Chicago earlier this year.Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor took time out of his packed schedule at the event to sit down with me for a thought-provoking conversation that dove into the nuances of many of the trends that are shaping private markets today.Morningstar and Kunal have quite an interesting perch in the market. They occupy a critically important function in the market: helping investors understand the data, structures, and trends in public and private markets. They provide fund ratings, investment analysis, and market data to both individual and institutional investors.As public and private markets experience increasing convergence, Morningstar finds itself at the intersection of markets that are undergoing rapid evolutions across product structures, asset allocation frameworks, and weighty questions around conceptual frameworks of liquidity, risk, volatility, concentration that are on the minds of many. Amongst the wide range of topics Kunal and I covered, one stood out: Morningstar is fiercely on the side of the investor.If there's anyone who has a deep understanding of Morningstar's DNA, it's Kunal. Kunal started at Morningstar in 1997 as a data analyst, holding a variety of roles at the firm, including leadership positions in research and innovation. He served as director of mutual fund research and was part of the team that launched Morningstar Investment Services, Inc., before moving on to other roles including director of business strategy for international operations, and later, president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. During his tenure, he has also led Morningstar.com® and the firm's data business as well as its global products and client solutions group.Kunal and I had a fascinating and lively conversation. We covered a number of the most pressing topics in private markets today: the convergence of public and private, liquidity vs illiquidity, investor education, the importance of transparency, and the why, what, and how behind evergreen funds.Thanks Kunal for coming on the show to share your wisdom, expertise, and passion for public and private markets.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

In this episode, Chad Hughes welcomes Matteo Villani, President of 3 Peaks Land & Engagement Inc, to the show to explore the regulatory environment in British Columbia and the complexity of navigating the Indigenous communities, the environmental and regulatory needs, and the agricultural land reserve restrictions in order to access land for oil and gas assets. Matteo takes us through his twenty year career in the industry and speaks from his experience working in BC. With a landman father, Matteo was exposed to the industry early. The stories he heard from his father and father's colleagues impressed upon him the idea of landmen as problem solvers which gave him a fascination with the industry. Out of university he secured an internship program at Shell Canada and started his career in a research team exploring northern Canada, the Beaufort Sea area. His career would then lead him to Enbridge Energy and finally to Crew Energy.     Matteo defines the layers of British Columbia's regulatory system for Chad, starting with the Agricultural Land Reserve. An environmental report including soil examination, wildlife concerns, and even an archaeological assement, related to the Heritage Conservation Act, are all required. He explains the complexities of First Nations consultation as well. Matteo and Chad discuss the skills Matteo learned early in his career that assisted in working in BC, different regulation requirements in BC jurisdictions, and how to manage internal relationships within a company navigating a complex system. Matteo's insight and advice are valuable and shed light on what is needed for a successful venture in BC land. “I really could take some of the skills that I learned, particularly at, you know, the kitchen table and with communities across Canada. It's really honing in on that listening skill and making sure that you understand what the issues are and not assume what the issues are.” - Matteo Villani---Chad Hughes | CEO, Entrepreneurial Leader, Author: website |linkedinMatteo Villani | President of 3 Peaks Land & Engagement Inc: linkedin__

In this world, you may have a complicated life. You may think yourself unqualified. Don't worry. If you follow in the footsteps of the sages, you'll be successful. "Tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena," means if you follow the process given by the greats, then you'll be boarding a boat. In this verse, it says that the ocean of complexity, which is this material world, shrinks for those who have the process. How small ? Size of the hoof print of a calf, and then one can easily step over it. And in the next verse, Brahma goes on and describes how that becomes a boat where we can cross the material ocean but when you approach the boat, the ocean shrinks. And Prabhupāda explains in the purport how we're part of what's called the Ācārya-sampradāya. When we come to an ISKCON temple, we find that Prabhupāda is prominently seated there. That's lucky for us. If you go to see Rādhā-Govinda in Jaipur for mangala-ārti, no doubt, one of the most ecstatic experiences in the world when you go to see Rādhā-Govinda, but you won't find a prominently seated Ācārya somewhere. If you go to the temples of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura in Māyāpur, his flagship temple, you'll find all the Ācāryas. In fact, they're situated in a circle around Gandharvikā Giridhārī, and you can go see each one where their origin is. Each one comes from a divine origin passed down to other mahats, other greats. And he emphasized that, as do all the Ācāryas, and as does Kṛṣṇa Himself, "ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān navamanyeta karhicit." One should respect the Ācārya-sampradāya, Kṛṣṇa says. "Don't consider that they're ordinary people. Consider that you should sit there the sum total, better than all the demigods put together, and not ordinary." So we have this clear object of meditation. We also have a clear path that one may follow to walk in the footsteps of the Ācāryas. It consists of what we've been given, and those who follow the simple path strictly are the most successful. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Exposure therapy often emerges as the gold standard for ARFID treatment, but for many neurodivergent people it does not address the full picture. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller explains why exposure therapy on its own often fails and how sensory-attuned, trauma-informed, and autonomy-honoring care creates a more effective path forward. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses food-related trauma, including pressure and force-feeding. Please listen with care and step away if you notice yourself feeling overwhelmed. DIVING DEEPLY INTO THIS PODCAST EPISODE ON ARFID Many autistic and ADHD people experience eating through a sensory lens. The challenge is not only about fear of food, but also about the surrounding environment. A noisy cafeteria, bright lighting, or the stress of being watched while eating can all create overstimulation. In those moments, eating becomes almost impossible. Before trying new foods, individuals often need to regulate, calm their system, or spend time in a sensory safe space. When therapy ignores these realities and relies only on exposure, it can recreate earlier experiences of pressure and shame. That can retraumatize instead of heal. Sensory-attuned care honors nervous system needs, provides autonomy, and includes supports for executive functioning so that real progress becomes possible. ARFID treatment requires more than repetition. Many people searching for ARFID therapy or ARFID treatment options want approaches that are neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, and trauma-informed. This episode highlights why exposure therapy by itself often fails and what actually works for lasting ARFID recovery. If you are seeking ARFID treatment that respects autonomy and integrates executive functioning supports, this episode will give you the insights you need. If exposure therapy has not worked for you or your child, this episode will help you understand why it is not a personal failure. True recovery requires safety, sensory respect, and trauma-attuned strategies that recognize how neurodivergent brains and bodies experience food.

They reflect on the changing nature of education, the potential of AI in the classroom, and the power of vulnerability in student learning. Steve shares lessons from decades of service as a history teacher and coach, including how trust, curiosity, and authentic relationships are at the heart of every great classroom experience. Takeaways Curiosity and enthusiasm are essential for effective learning. AI can enhance teaching but cannot replace the human element. Building relationships with students is crucial for their success. Vulnerability in students can lead to greater learning opportunities. Failure is a necessary part of growth and learning. Teachers must adapt to the changing landscape of education. The importance of emotional intelligence in education cannot be overstated. Engagement is key to effective teaching and learning. Finding purpose in teaching can lead to a fulfilling career. The future of education will be shaped by technology and human connection. American history is rich with periods of progress and change. The complexities of historical figures reflect the duality of their legacies. Debating historical perspectives fosters critical thinking. Third parties can play a crucial role in American politics.

The waters stretching from the Eastern Indian Ocean through Southeast and East Asia to the Western Pacific sustain global trade, host abundant marine resources vital to the livelihoods of many, and power regional economies. They are central to the national security of many states and are also home to major powers, vast archipelagic states, and many smaller states, including small island nations. These waters are also marked by overlapping maritime claims, strategic maritime chokepoints, and a growing military presence, including states from outside the region. Tensions rise when maritime incidents occur and there is an ever-present risk of miscalculations spiraling into broader confrontations. While armed conflict is not inevitable, if it were to occur it would likely unfold with considerable intensity, scale and tempo, with far-reaching and severe humanitarian consequences. Preparing for such a scenario requires not only preventing escalation but also ensuring that humanitarian impacts are mitigated and that impartial humanitarian action can take place, even in complex maritime environments where neutral states would also be called upon to shoulder important responsibilities. In this post, part of the “Complying with IHL in large-scale conflict” series, ICRC Legal Advisers Ansha Krishnan and Eve Massingham explore some of the humanitarian challenges posed by potential large-scale conflict in the Asia-Pacific region. The maritime nature of the region, together with its vast geographical scope and the present geo-political realities means aspects of conflict preparedness bear specific consideration because of the practical measures required to comply with IHL obligations and prepare for likely humanitarian consequences.

In ASD, a high prevalence of FRAA (up to 75%) has been documented, leading to impaired cerebral folate transport and subsequent deficiency despite normal serum folate levels.[1][2] Leucovorin utilizes the reduced folate carrier to restore central nervous system folate levels, thereby addressing a key pathophysiological mechanism in a subset of children with ASD.[1][2]Treatment of Folate Metabolism Abnormalities in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

In this episode, Vassilis Douros and Marc Binkley unpack the messy reality of B2B buying, following a thought-provoking conversation with Jann Schwartz and Mimi Turner.They explore how buying decisions are rarely rational or linear—shaped instead by shifting group dynamics, emotional “jobs to be done,” and the human need for trust and validation. Drawing from personal experiences with software purchasing, they highlight why buying groups don't map neatly to org charts, why deals often stall due to misalignment rather than product fit, and how brand fame works differently for large versus niche players.The discussion also dives into what this means for B2B marketers and creatives alike—from building awareness to navigating the unique challenges smaller brands face when competing with established giants.Enjoy the show!Our Guests:Mimi Turner: Head of Marketplace Innovation, LinkedIn LMShttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mimi-turner/Jann Martin Schwartz: Senior Director of Marketplace Innovation, LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janns/Follow Our Updates⁠⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sleeping-barber/https://www.sleepingbarber.caGet in touch with our hosts:Marc Binkley: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcbinkley/Vassilis Douros: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vassilisdouros/TakeawaysB2B buying is a complex and relational process.Emotional components play a significant role in decision-making.Buyers often carry the blame for failed purchases.Buying groups should ideally be small and focused.The onboarding experience can impact perceptions of a product.Understanding emotional jobs to be done is crucial for marketers.Creative strategies must align with the emotional journey of buyers.Brand awareness is essential for niche products to compete.The buying process involves multiple stakeholders and perspectives.Marketers need to navigate political capital within organizations.Chapters:00:00 - Navigating the Complexities of B2B Buying02:38 - The Emotional Weight of Decision Making05:19 - The Role of Buying Groups in B2B07:55 - Understanding Emotional Jobs to Be Done10:30 - Creative Implications in B2B Marketing13:00 - The Importance of Brand Awareness in Buying Decisions15:23 - Integrating Products in a Buying Ecosystem

Ever wondered how growing up between worlds can actually make you see your own culture more clearly? This conversation with Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher flips the script on what it means to be a missionary kid—not just as someone with wild stories or an identity crisis, but as a kind of secret decoder for understanding white evangelicalism's grip on American politics. There's a moment here where a single high school banquet in Kenya, complete with a Confederate flag, opens up a whole hidden history most of us never learned in Sunday school. What if the very things you thought were just “normal” missionary experiences are actually the missing puzzle pieces for understanding the rise of Christian nationalism today? Stick around, because the connections Holly draws between global childhoods and the current culture wars in the U.S. will surprise you—and might even change how you see your own story. In this episode, you will be able to: Explore how white evangelicalism shapes political landscapes and influences key decisions that affect society. Discover the unique role missionary kids play in decoding the complexities of evangelical culture worldwide. Understand the challenges third culture kids face as they navigate identity, belonging, and faith across different worlds. Trace the historical roots of Christian nationalism to see how it impacts modern cultural and political conversations. My special guest is Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher Holly Berkley Fletcher is an author and historian who really knows what it means to live between worlds. Raised in Kenya as the daughter of Southern Baptist missionaries, Holly attended Rift Valley Academy and grew up balancing both her American roots and the culture around her. Her background extends far beyond childhood, though—she earned a PhD in American Studies, taught at the university level, and later worked as a CIA analyst specializing in Africa. Holly's life as a third culture kid gives her a distinctive lens on white evangelicalism and Christian nationalism, while her research dives into how missionary kids navigate the complicated push and pull of belonging and identity. She brings a clear-eyed, honest perspective that connects personal experience with bigger questions about faith, power, and the impact of evangelical culture around the globe.

They're in our oceans, our air, our food, and now even in our bodies. Microplastics, once a distant environmental issue, have become a topic of urgent relevance in medicine, public health, and nutrition. The idea that tiny plastic particles are circulating through the food chain and accumulating in human tissues has sparked headlines, speculation, and concern. But how much of this fear is grounded in solid science? And how much is still unknown? As the research into microplastics rapidly grows, so too does the confusion. Claims range from the plausible to the alarmist, yet the real picture is far more complex. What does current evidence actually tell us about the health implications of microplastic exposure? How do we weigh these emerging signals against the backdrop of other environmental threats we understand much better? And how should scientifically-minded practitioners think about this issue, especially when patients begin asking questions? This is a conversation that calls for clarity, nuance, and a rigorous look at what we know versus what remains speculative. In this episode, Professor Ian Mudway, an environmental toxicologist, discusses the current scientific understanding of microplastics and human health.

Why does pressuring someone to eat often make things worse, especially when they are neurodivergent? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores the intersection of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and PDA, which can be understood as either Pathological Demand Avoidance or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy. She breaks down how demands around eating, even gentle ones, can increase distress and shut down the nervous system for people with this profile. You will learn why pressure often intensifies food refusal and how honoring autonomy can become a foundation for safety, regulation, and healing. Dr. Marianne shares what helps instead, from sensory-attuned environments to co-regulation to collaborative care that supports autonomy instead of undermining it. This episode is especially relevant for those searching for support with ARFID and PDA, whether you're navigating a Pervasive Drive for Autonomy or supporting someone with autism and food refusal challenges. Dr. Marianne discusses key elements of ARFID therapy in California, Texas, and Washington, D.C., with attention to neurodivergent-affirming approaches for sensory-based eating challenges. Topics include autonomy-centered care, the connection between PDA and eating avoidance, sensory accommodations, and how pressure around food can disrupt progress. This conversation is ideal for anyone exploring eating disorder support that moves beyond compliance and toward collaboration. Whether you are someone navigating ARFID and PDA yourself, or a clinician or caregiver offering support, this episode will offer a compassionate, liberation-focused, neurodivergent-affirming lens on what really helps and why.

Why does letting go of food restriction feel unsafe, even when you're ready to recover? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores how restriction can become a form of survival. She discusses the ways restriction may provide a sense of control, structure, or identity, especially for those who are neurodivergent, live in marginalized bodies, or have trauma histories. You will learn about the difference between egosyntonic restriction, which feels aligned with your values, and egodystonic restriction, which feels distressing. This insight can help make sense of your internal conflict and guide you toward a more compassionate approach to healing. This episode offers a perspective rooted in liberation, not compliance. Dr. Marianne invites you to honor the role restriction has played in your life while also creating new ways to feel safe and supported in your body.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the interplay between stress, hormonal fluctuations, and emotional symptoms experienced during the menstrual cycle. She emphasizes that many women face challenges related to PMS, PMDD, and other mood disorders, particularly in their 30s and 40s. Ali explores how stress and the nervous system can amplify these symptoms, and she provides insights into hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both hormonal and psychological factors in managing menstrual health and offers practical solutions for women seeking to improve their well-being. Takeaways Stress in the nervous system amplifies emotional symptoms during the menstrual cycle. Many women experience heightened emotional volatility and anxiety related to their cycle. Hormonal fluctuations are a natural part of the menstrual cycle, but not all women experience the same symptoms. Stress hormones can exacerbate mood symptoms, particularly during the luteal phase. Understanding the interplay between hormones and the nervous system is crucial for managing symptoms. Support for progesterone can help alleviate mood symptoms in women. Gut health and detoxification play a significant role in hormonal balance. Monitoring symptoms too closely can increase anxiety and hypervigilance. A holistic approach to hormonal health includes nutrition, sleep, and stress management. Women are not alone in their struggles with menstrual health; these issues are common and manageable.   Chapters 00:00 Understanding Menstrual Cycle Challenges 04:58 Hormonal Fluctuations and Their Impact 10:02 The Role of Stress in Hormonal Imbalance 14:44 Navigating the Complexities of Hormonal Health 24:41 Integrating Solutions for Better Well-being   Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

In this week's conversation, I am joined by Steph Fowler, LCPC, CADC, who you may remember from Season 1, Episode 11.

This week, Dr. Kate Marvel, author of Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet, is on the show to discuss the complex ways she processes varying emotions while studying climate change and thinking about this planetary crisis. Marvel talks about her journey from a high school student disinterested in science to studying cosmology to eventually becoming a leading climate scientist. She explains why she's inspired by this work and the people that do it. We talk about the creative and fun aspects of working with climate models, some of the certainities and uncertainites that come with any scientific exploration, and what scares her most about climate change. Marvel shares some of the deep emotions that are evoked by everyday climate science and the importance of the narratives we tell living through this crisis. We also explore what it's like for climate science and scientists to be attacked, ignored, and/or belittled, and why it's critical to appreciate the amazing contributions we've received from years of hardworking scientists studying this issue.  Dr. Kate Marvel is one of the world's best-known climate scientists working today. She received a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge University, led the “Climate Trends” chapter in the U.S. Fifth National Climate Assessment, and has both given a TED Talk and testified before the U.S. Congress!
