Everyone is racing to the same place chasing a limited set of buyers—how will your “AI for BI” product stand out? I've been seeing teams heavily invest in copilots, agents, semantic layers, governance frameworks, and increasingly sophisticated models, yet many still hear the same feedback from sales prospects: “We may just build this ourselves?" Or they don't hear it, but suspect the customer is doing just that. Whether they actually can DIY the solution is the wrong question. The bigger question is *why they believe they can.* Your product may have a genuine competitive advantage, but your real challenge is that this advantage isn't obvious to buyers. The moat exists, but it is invisible. What makes this relevant is that many capabilities once considered differentiators are rapidly becoming normalized. AI copilots, agentic analytics, governed data, semantic layers, and broad integrations now appear across nearly every platform in the category. As AI accelerates development, sophisticated engineering alone becomes harder to defend as a lasting advantage. So what actually creates a durable moat if the engineering and product seems easy to copy? I explore four areas: proprietary data, trusted relationships, and products that accumulate institutional knowledge remain difficult to replicate. And finally, user experience itself as a strategy. As users increasingly access your intelligence through AI agents rather than dashboards, their experience may become the moat that competitors can't copy.

As the United States approaches its 250th Independence Day, Derek Harris, Head of Global Wealth Management Portfolio and Investment Strategy speaks with Jared Woodard, Head of the Research Investment Committee to examine the long-run forces behind America's market leadership. Using data that spans much of the nation's financial history, they explore why U.S. equities have delivered nearly 10 percent annual returns and how that outperformance compares globally. The conversation also revisits the role of bonds, challenges traditional portfolio frameworks like 60/40, and highlights the structural drivers of U.S. success, including innovation, strong corporate earnings, and a business-friendly environment. They further discuss the efficiency of American R&D and the enduring role of the U.S. dollar in global markets. This episode offers a data-driven perspective on 250 years of American capitalism and the key trends shaping the path ahead.

Big losses rarely happen overnight. I've found that most major problems start as small mistakes that were ignored, tolerated, or left uncorrected for too long. Whether in business, health, or life, small execution failures compound over time until they become impossible to ignore. In this episode, I explain why catching problems early is one of the most important disciplines you can develop and how small misses today can become expensive consequences tomorrow. Show Notes: [04:31]#1 Minor deviations stack into structural gaps. [09:45]#2 Uncorrected mistakes reset the standard downward. [16:47]#3 Compounding failure accelerates without detection. [19:57] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent. It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem. They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.

Most investors say they're long-term investors. But then they check auction clearance rates every weekend, worry about the next interest rate decision, chase the latest hotspot, and get distracted by whatever the media says is working right now. And that's a problem, because real wealth rarely comes from the investment that looks exciting today. It comes from owning the right assets for long enough to let compounding do the heavy lifting. In today's show, I'm going to chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about what he calls "The Forever Test" - a simple but powerful filter for making better investment decisions. We discuss how short-term media distractions can hinder true wealth creation. And we highlight the significance of focusing on assets with strong fundamentals and staying power. Join us as we delve into the power of compounding capital growth over decades. Takeaways • Long-term investment strategies reduce emotional decision-making and enhance wealth growth. • The "Forever Test" helps identify investments with enduring value and potential. • Compounding capital growth significantly increases asset value over extended periods. • Short-term market reactions often undermine long-term financial stability. • Strategic investors prioritise fundamentals over fleeting market trends. • Location and structural demand are crucial in property investment success. • Patience and discipline are key to navigating market volatility. • Quality assets in prime locations offer better long-term returns. • Emotional decision-making can lead to costly investment mistakes. • Understanding demographics aids in selecting investment-grade locations.

In this episode of the Visible Voices Podcast, I am in conversation with Dr. Shanda McManus — family medicine physician, narrative medicine educator, and author of Brother Epistles (2026 by Split/Lip Press). In 1992, Shanda's brother Monir was killed in a drive-by shooting in North Philadelphia. He was 20 years old. Thirty years later, she began writing him letters — and what emerged is a memoir that is part grief, part social commentary, and entirely healing. We discuss what it means to carry compounding grief, how medical training can become a place to hide from loss, the systems that failed Monir long before that night in 1992, and what narrative medicine offers both patients and clinicians who have no place to take their pain.

When mutual friends in the diabetes community kept telling Rob he had a doppelganger in LA, he figured they were exaggerating. Then he met Dylan Leonard — creative director, documentary filmmaker, college basketball player, type one diabetic, philosophy reader, world traveler — and yeah, the comparisons held up pretty well. Dylan was diagnosed at 15, having dropped 45 pounds before anyone realized something was wrong. He went from a hospital bed thinking he'd never eat sugar again to playing college basketball while managing T1D without a CGM, without a pump, and without knowing a single other person with diabetes for his first decade. What carried him through was activity — six hours of workouts a day during basketball season — and a mindset he's been intentionally building ever since through reading, travel, and genuinely hard conversations with himself. This episode goes wide. Rob and Dylan dig into Dylan's upcoming documentary Breaking Limits: Life on the Edge, which follows elite athletes with type one diabetes across seven different sports — from Olympic competitors to IndyCar drivers to American Ninja Warriors. Dylan invested his own money and thousands of hours into this project, not to make a cent, but to hand a 15-year-old sitting in a hospital bed the resource he never had. They also get into the philosophy of travel as the cheapest education on earth, why our brains literally haven't caught up to the abundance of modern life, the difference between manifesting and obsessing, and what a five-hour train conversation with a Norwegian stranger taught Dylan about human connection. Oh, and they're making plans to run a hoop session next time Rob's in LA. Cameras included.

Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: HPE Discover 2026 kicks off: HPE Discover 2026 opens today at The Venetian in Las Vegas with the Partner Growth Summit, the partner-exclusive day that precedes the main conference. The General Session – “The Power of One” – is led by HPE channel head Simon Ewington and focuses on HPE’s unified partner strategy under the HPE Partner Ready Vantage program, spanning networking, cloud, and AI. This is the first Partner Growth Summit since HPE’s $14 billion Juniper Networks acquisition closed, and HPE is presenting partners with a fully unified portfolio story for the first time. ChannelBuzz.ca is on the ground all week: Tuesday’s Buzz will feature a full Partner Growth Summit recap, and In The Channel this week features a multi-part series with Jeremiah Jenson, HPE’s vice president of North America channel and partner ecosystem, covering the Discover announcements in depth. Cato Networks launches integration hub: Cato Networks has launched a new Technology Partner Program and a Platform Integration Hub, debuting with more than 100 out-of-the-box integrations with third-party security, cloud, and networking solutions. The SASE provider says the program is designed to simplify how partners and customers connect Cato’s platform with existing enterprise technology stacks. The move is significant for Canadian MSPs and MSSPs: a robust integration catalog reduces the custom API work that often slows deployment and increases delivery costs, making it easier to position Cato alongside the broader tools in a customer’s security environment. Checkmarx flags CISO compliance pressures: A new 2026 Future of Application Security Report from Checkmarx, based on a survey of more than 2,000 developers and CISOs, found that 95 per cent of CISOs report being pressured to suppress or delay compliance-related security issues when business deadlines loom. The research also highlights how AI-generated code is expanding the attack surface faster than many security teams can manage. For Canadian MSSPs, the data reinforces the value of independent, third-party security oversight – and the case for structured application security as a managed service. Dataminr and TD SYNNEX partner on AI cyber defense: Dataminr has signed a strategic distribution agreement with TD SYNNEX, making Dataminr for Cyber Defense available to more than 35,000 North American resellers. The platform combines external risk signals with internal telemetry to help security teams prioritize threats in real time. For Canadian partners already working with TD SYNNEX, the deal adds an AI-driven threat intelligence offering to the distributor’s security portfolio at a time when customers are asking for earlier warning around cyber risk. inforcer launches Microsoft 365 TDR platform: inforcer has launched inforcer Threat Detection and Response, a new platform that gives MSPs a single environment to manage detection, incident response, and reporting across the full Microsoft 365 estate – including Entra, Defender, Purview, Teams, and SharePoint. According to the company, the platform’s advantage is its existing policy and configuration context for each tenant, which it says allows the detection engine to separate real threats from alert noise. The product launched in early access at Pax8 Beyond last week. ConnectSecure introduces Patch 360: ConnectSecure has launched Patch 360, a patch management solution designed specifically for MSPs. According to the company, the platform gives MSPs more control over patch prioritization, testing, and approval workflows, and is designed to reduce deployment risk while accelerating patching across operating systems and third-party applications. NetRise launches Discovery Partner Program: Software supply chain security firm NetRise has launched the Discovery Partner Program for VARs, MSSPs, distributors, and systems integrators. The program provides partners access to the NetRise Platform, which analyzes compiled software artifacts – including binaries, firmware, and containers – to identify components and risks that may not appear in source-code scans or vendor-provided SBOMs. NetRise is positioning the program as a way for partners to address growing customer demand for independent software supply chain verification. Read Full Transcript This episode of The Buzz is brought to you by HPE Discover 2026. HPE Discover runs June 15 to 18 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. Discover what’s next at hpe.com/discover. Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt, today is Monday, June 15th, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. The biggest event on HPE’s calendar opens today at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas, and ChannelBuzz.ca is on the ground for the full week. But before the main conference opens to the broader audience tomorrow, today belongs exclusively to the channel. The HPE Partner Growth Summit – the partner-only day that kicks off Discover week – is underway as you’re hearing this. The centrepiece is the General Session called “The Power of One,” led by HPE channel head Simon Ewington alongside a lineup of HPE senior executives. The name captures the message HPE is sending its partner ecosystem heading into the back half of 2026: one comprehensive portfolio, one unified program under HPE Partner Ready Vantage, and one integrated experience across networking, cloud, and AI. The afternoon breakout agenda is dense – covering GreenLake and hybrid cloud, Aruba networking with AI, monetizing accelerated compute and agentic workloads, and HPE’s evolving service provider story. It’s also worth noting the context: this is the first Partner Growth Summit since HPE’s $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks cleared regulatory review and officially closed. Partners are getting their first look at a fully unified networking and compute story from a company that can now tell it cleanly. We’re bringing you the announcements as they happen all week. In just a couple of hours on In The Channel, I’ll help you get ready for Discover, as I preview the event with the help of none other than Jeremiah Jenson, HPE’s vice president of North American channel and partner ecosystem. Tomorrow on The Buzz, we’ll have all the news from Partner Growth Summit, and tomorrow’s In The Channel will also feature Jenson, as we take a deeper dive into the HPE’s partner programs and where he sees the biggest opportunities for the channel right now. Be sure to stick with us all week as we bring you full coverage from Vegas. Cato Networks is expanding its ecosystem with the launch of a new Technology Partner Program and a Platform Integration Hub. The SASE provider says the hub debuts with more than 100 integrations out of the box, offering streamlined connectivity with third-party security, cloud, and networking solutions. According to Cato, the program is designed to simplify how partners and customers integrate its platform with existing enterprise technology stacks, reducing friction and speeding up deployments. A vendor-led integration effort at this scale matters for the channel. As enterprise environments grow more layered and complex, MSPs rely on platforms that connect cleanly to an existing stack rather than requiring months of custom API work. Out-of-the-box integrations mean less time troubleshooting compatibility and more time delivering security outcomes to clients. It’s worth noting that Cato’s channel chief said earlier this year that seven out of ten deals the company closes are already partner-led. A stronger integration story could deepen that dependence on the channel by making it easier for MSPs and MSSPs to position Cato alongside the other tools in a customer’s security stack. A report released last week by application security vendor Checkmarx is putting hard numbers on a dynamic that security-focused channel partners have likely been seeing for some time. The 2026 Future of Application Security Report, based on a survey of more than 2,000 developers and CISOs, found that 95 per cent of CISOs say they have been pressured to suppress or delay compliance-related security issues when business deadlines loom. Compounding the problem: the adoption of AI-generated code is accelerating, which Checkmarx says is multiplying the attack surface in production environments faster than many security teams can manage. The business case for external, independent security oversight has rarely been clearer. When internal security leaders are being overruled on vulnerability management, an MSP or MSSP operating as a neutral third party – accountable to security outcomes rather than product launch timelines – steps into a genuine gap. The data also validates the case for application security as a structured managed service. As AI-generated code becomes standard in the development pipeline, organizations that can’t close that gap internally will need to find a partner who can. In Brief – Dataminr and TD SYNNEX have signed a distribution agreement that makes Dataminr for Cyber Defense available to more than 35,000 North American resellers through TD SYNNEX’s channel network. Security vendor inforcer has launched inforcer Threat Detection and Response, a new platform designed to give MSPs a single environment to manage detection, incident response, and reporting for Microsoft 365. ConnectSecure has introduced Patch 360, a patch management solution built specifically for MSPs that the company says reduces deployment risk while accelerating patching across operating systems and third-party applications. NetRise has launched the Discovery Partner Program, targeting VARs, MSSPs, distributors, and systems integrators with software supply chain security capabilities built around compiled binary analysis rather than source code or vendor-provided SBOMs. Full details and links in the show notes or the blog post. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines today. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

King David makes a series of bad decisions, as recorded in 2 Samuel 11, and we see how these compounded decisions had an adverse impact on his family in a big way. Do we make similar mistakes today?2 Samuel 11:2-3 KJV And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?Related Podcasts:— Persistent and Consistent — Prayer Life— Faith and the Christian Experience— Some Thoughts on the Doctrine of Free Will— What Exactly is the Great Controversy, Anyway?— Having the Right Perspective— Search Me, O God— The Foreknowledge Conundrum— God's Ways are Not Our Ways— Fear Not — For I am With TheeRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Beware Who You Follow— The Battle is the Lord's— Prayer & Prophecy— How Should We Relate to the Cares of This Life?— Knowing God's Will, Part 1— Knowing God's Will, Part 2Text UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.

Doc Danny walks through a real-world example of a cash-based physical therapy clinic generating approximately $96,000 per month. Learn how recurring revenue, small group training, plan-of-care conversions, and staffing efficiency combine to create a highly profitable clinic model. In This Episode, You'll Learn How a $96K/month cash PT clinic is structured Why recurring revenue is the foundation of clinic stability How small group training creates high-margin recurring income The role of continuity visits in long-term growth Why only 32 new patients per month can support a seven-figure clinic How outcome-based plans of care increase revenue per visit The staffing models that support profitable growth Why recurring patient relationships improve both outcomes and business performance Key Takeaway The strongest clinics are not built around constantly replacing discharged patients. They are built around recurring revenue systems, strong patient relationships, and a business model designed for long-term stability.

Four years ago, almost to the day of recording, Oliver Bullough was a guest on this show for the first time to discuss his concept of 'Moneyland'. This borderless virtual country where the wealthy go to keep their wealth beyond the reach of any government, any tax office, any voter. Between then and now, I've maintained interest on this thread. Nicholas Shaxson discussed on the pod the cancerous plumbing of the offshore world in Treasure Islands. John Christensen showed how that plumbing quietly corrodes culture and politics. Bill Browder shows where the abstraction becomes violence. Nathan Lynch showed how Australia is every bit as dirty as anywhere else, and Matt Friedman, just a few weeks ago, put a number on the human end of it: $236 billion a year in illicit profit from modern slavery.Oliver's latest book is Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won. His argument is bleak, precise, and very hard to wave away. We have spent decades and roughly $200 billion a year building an anti-money-laundering fortress, and by the best available estimates the share of the world economy being laundered hasn't moved since the 1990s. We get into why governments have failed so completely at this one. We follow the money where it actually goes: not just through banks, but through cash (central banks printing $100 bills faster than they can build factories), through crypto and stablecoins, and through the oldest trick of all — value hidden inside shipments of used cars, watches, oil, grain, the way the Medici did it in Florence. We talk about the scam compounds of Southeast Asia, where trafficked people are tortured into defrauding pensioners on the other side of the world, and how that horror connects — directly, traceably — to the very top of global power, through Tether, Cantor Fitzgerald, and a US Commerce Secretary's family.And underneath all of it, the real subject: the relationship between money and power, and what happens to democracy when the two become the same thing. Oliver's "offshore bandits" — elites who loot their own countries while living and banking somewhere else, feeling none of the consequences — are a darker upgrade on Mancur Olson's stationary bandit. It's a Moneyland story, and it's spreading.There are lighter turns too — Wright Patman, the forgotten Texan congressman who fathered anti-money-laundering law; Peter Pomerantsev and the propaganda war; Bill Browder before he was Bill Browder; and an unexpectedly lyrical detour to the walnut forests and white mountains of Kyrgyzstan.Oliver Bullough...Links Oliver Bullough BooksCurious Worldview SubstackPodcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersLeave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)

The circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death raise serious questions that go far beyond simple negligence, particularly when examining the OIG interviews with correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas. Their repeated evasiveness, selective memory, and claims of ignorance about basic prison protocols are difficult to reconcile with their roles and responsibilities. These were not inexperienced employees, yet they struggled to provide clear answers about routine procedures like inmate checks and documentation. The falsification of records, combined with their failure to perform required rounds, suggests more than just carelessness—it points toward a deliberate effort to obscure what actually happened. When viewed alongside the removal of Epstein from suicide watch and the absence of a cellmate, the official explanation begins to look increasingly inadequate.Compounding these concerns are additional anomalies, including reported unexplained financial deposits linked to Noel and gaps in surveillance footage during critical periods. Each issue on its own might be dismissed, but together they form a pattern that undermines confidence in the government's narrative. The convergence of so many failures—sleeping guards, missing footage, falsified logs, and inconsistent testimony—creates the impression of coordinated breakdown rather than coincidence. While definitive proof of complicity remains elusive, the totality of these red flags strongly suggests that the prison staff may know more than they have disclosed. At a minimum, the available evidence points to a deeply flawed account of events, leaving open the possibility that what occurred that night has not been fully or truthfully explained.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Ray Solano, pharmacist and founder of PD Labs, to expose the massive barrier to entry in the traditional pharmaceutical industry and explore why highly effective treatments often get buried by "Big Pharma." If a medication can't guarantee a billion-dollar market, major pharmaceutical companies won't touch it—even if it could save or drastically improve lives. Dr. Pinkston and Ray break down how the current clinical trial system is flawed, the massive price discrepancies between commercial biologics and tailored solutions, and why looking at global case studies and cellular science is more reliable than the corporate "show me the science" narrative. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The Billion-Dollar Drug Hurdle: Why life-changing formulas for conditions like Peyronie’s disease and localized inflammation are ignored by major drug companies. The $22,000 Contrast: Dr. Pinkston shares a shocking look at the monthly cost of commercial autoimmune biologics versus affordable, root-cause healing. The Power of Transdermal Peptides: How PD Labs successfully formulated BPC-157 as a topical application to provide instant relief for tendonitis and muscle inflammation. Demystifying Generics & Compounding: The hidden truth about bioequivalence versus therapeutic equivalence in generic medications. Alternative Therapies That Work: Insights into the neurological benefits of Leucovorin, using Ivermectin in combination oncology therapies, and the anti-aging benefits of topical Glutathione and GHK Copper for summer skincare. The Telemedicine Trend: A warning on the safety risks of modern online prescription platforms that over-medicate without standard clinical overviews.

In 2025, seven-month-old startup Axiom solved all 12 of the problems Putnam exam (scoring 8/12 in the time limit) a prestigious undergraduate math exam. The 12/12 score is better than the top undergraduates (110/120) and the closest AI system that reported a result (DeepSeek 103/120), although it is unclear what the people and other systems would have scored with more time. Nonetheless, the Putnam exam is legendary for its difficulty, with the median score typically being 0 or 1 points. Taken by itself, this seems like a minor feather in the cap of AI; one of a long series of accomplishments by AI systems in elite competitions with humans, starting with Deep Blue beating Kasparov.Fast forward to mid-2026, and Claude Code is eating the world. In 2024 Anthropic's bet on code and enterprise looked like a more pragmatic niche play vs. OpenAI's better models and massive consume scale. Today, Amodei's all in bet on acceleration via code (images and video be damned) seems prescient.Despite Anthropic's growing momentum, however, Axiom CEO Carina Hong sees coding ability as a necessary but not sufficient milestone on the path to AGI. Code arguably pushes the jagged frontier to the point of super intelligence in some domains outside of coding, but there are surprising gaps (link) that Carina believes will bottleneck AI progress. (Stats on math benchmarks).The informal bottleneck“Verified AI” sounds like eating broccoli (footnote: I actually love broccoli, but then again, I also believe strongly in Test Driven Development, so ¯(ツ)/¯ ) and paying taxes, but to Axiom it means something very different. “Verification to me is about scaling brilliance, compounding brilliance,” Carina told us.It actually took a while for me to understand what she means by this. It sounded like marketing-speak to me, until it clicked. Carina emphasizes an story about legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan to illustrate the point. When G.H. Hardy finally persuaded Ramanujan to formally prove theorems instead of relying on his (formidable) intuition, it reportedly improved his own capabilities. This is presumably because formally proving things forced Ramanujan to articulate the details in a way that open up new lines of thinking, etc. This is one part of “compounding.”But formally proving things also allowed others to benefit from his intuition: the proofs are way of communicating an intuition and persuading others that the intuition is correct. This is scaling (more people use the result) and compounding (people can learn from and build on his work).This is the analogy that Carina wants us to focus on.Verified GenerationThere are two ways that Verified AI shows up: in training and in inference.But a quick detour: to a first approximation, “Formal Verification” means using type checkers (like for TypeScript, C++ or Rust, but more capable) to verify mathematical proofs that are meticulously specified using a language like Lean (footnote: Formal verification also includes model checking (TLA+, SPIN), SMT-based tools (Dafny, F*, Why3), and refinement-type systems (Liquid Haskell) — many of which don't look much like “type checking a proof” from the user's perspective even when there's a similar logical core underneath. It also gets applied to software and hardware correctness, not only pure mathematics.). It takes a lot of work to translate an “informal” proof (albeit one that most people would not remotely call “informal”) in to a Lean proof (footnote: This is an understatement. Most theorems remain informal because formalization is so hard to do. There has been a great deal of effort to formalize the most important proofs, with mixed results)You can imagine how this would be (very) useful during Reinforcement Learning: instead of relying on best guesses based on statistics (GRPO, RLHF, etc.), you can just verify the proof is correct using a Lean verifier. This is obviously a much stronger reward signal, akin to compiling code and testing it (which is what is typically done with RL on coding).The catch: LLM are not (currently) very good at proving things with Lean.Enter Axiom: While they have not officially reported benchmark numbers besides the 12/12 Putnam result, Carina reports that they have achieved a very impressive 99% (187/189) ProofGen on the Verina benchmark. This benchmark is to generate code and proof of correctness for a series of problems. For context, OpenAI o3 (the last known OpenAI run) achieved 4.9% on this benchmark.Based on the sparse benchmarking, it's hard to say what the frontier labs are currently doing, but Carina suggests that they still are not training to generate Lean proofs directly, rather relying on informal proofs.Time will tell if the frontier labs' current approaches will close this gap.Scaling and compoundingCarina's Ramanujan analogy is pretty direct. Better proofs → better Lean generation → better RL. A stronger signal means higher sample efficiency and higher maximum performance. Great!Scaling is pretty clear too: once I have proved something in Lean, the quality of the output is basically (footnote: one might argue that its a bit lower because the proof is in distribution for the LLM) as high as if it came from a human, so my high quality training set has grown in a way that an informal rollout corpus cannot. I can trust my Lean proofs.Compounding is also clear: now all of future inference and training can build upon those proofs.On the other hand, a model trained only using statistical signals like GRPO during RL lacks the sample efficiency, maximum performance and compounding corpus that a system that uses formal verification benefits from.All roads lead to verificationBroccoli and taxes notwithstanding, “verification” has shown up in a lot of conversations recently. In the in physical system control:“I think [verifiability] is probably the hardest problem right now, because the as the models get better, it can be harder and harder to find the faults on the system. And so the problem of doing proper eval to find those faults, that problem also keeps getting harder as the models get better.” -In theoretical physics:“…now that we're in this regime where you can just get ChatGPT to tackle thousands of questions at the same time, it will return proofs for a significant fraction of them. Now actually the onus is back on the humans to verify all the outputs. And so, yeah, as that becomes a bottleneck, I think formalizing math and automating verification will become more valuable.” -Verification is, in fact, the key differences between AI for science and AI for computation: in science you to have to actually test (verify) your hypothesis by performing physical experiments. Lab in the loop systems like Radical AI and Lila build around exactly this premise (we have recorded episodes with both of these teams and will release them soon!)And yes, formally verifying critical systems such as flight control, nuclear power plants and pacemakers is a growing focus as the software and hardware that run them becomes more complex.Carina believes so strongly that AGI requires verified generation that she makes the unqualified claim that “We do not believe there is any other possible future.”Expensive to produce, cheap to verifyLean proofs are hard generate, but they can be easily shown to be correct or incorrect. But how do you know that the proof you created maps correctly to the problem you care about? As Carina puts it: “Anything that can be specified can be proven. Humans are bad at specifying everything we want.”Are we now in the specification business?

Ali Al-Hassan is the walking embodiment of work hard, play hard — a young dentist who's gone from associate to super associate, practice co-owner and globe-trotter, all while building a following that brings patients straight to his chair. In this episode, he and Payman get into what really separates an ordinary associate from a "super" one: bringing in your own patients, owning your fees, and treating social media as your digital shop front. There's honest talk about outworking self-doubt, the awards debate, a vexatious GDC referral that came out of nowhere, and a wild Covid-era trading story that took a £50k bounce-back loan to seven figures and most of the way back down again. Threaded throughout is a simple philosophy — do the thing, do it thousands of times, and let it compound. You'll come away with plenty to think about, whether you're weighing up your own brand or just wondering how one person fits in this much living.In This Episode00:02:30 - Work hard, play hard 00:08:10 - Growing up and family 00:14:30 - The inflection point 00:17:30 - Associate vs super associate 00:24:40 - Social media and the first Invisalign open day 00:33:15 - Tenacity and outworking self-doubt 00:39:05 - Niching down 00:49:50 - Cornerstones of safe GDP ortho 00:53:50 - Blackbox thinking 00:59:30 - The GDC referral 01:08:45 - Compounding and word of mouth 01:09:45 - Dental Opulence 01:18:55 - The awards debate 01:25:35 - Travel and friendships 01:29:25 - Working with Robbie 01:32:05 - The Covid trading story 01:42:25 - Examinations and case acceptance 01:48:05 - Composite bonding approach 01:54:50 - Finishing teeth upside down 01:56:25 - Fantasy dinner party 02:00:25 - Last days and legacyAbout Ali Al-HassanAli Al-Hassan, known online as Doctor Ali, is a Cardiff-trained dentist working across practices in Swindon, the Midlands and London, with a focus on Invisalign and composite.

This includes compounding from FDA approved products, such as mixing two anesthetic drugs in the same syringe, or compounding from bulk products, such as having a drug made from the raw active pharmaceutical ingredient or from unapproved FDA drugs. Compounding from bulk products for food animals is prohibited in federal statute found at this link. FDA further explains their position on compounding from bulk substances for food animals in GFI# 256 that states that FDA generally does not intend to take enforcement action in cases of compounding from bulk substances to produce antidotes for treating toxicoses in food animals or use as sedatives/anesthetics in free-ranging wildlife species. Buckley also discusses the differences between compounded products and generic animal drugs and the federal regulations on extralabel drug use. It is important for veterinarians to understand the legal allowances for compounding, extralabel drug use. Veterinarians should use the resources provided by the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) for assistance with withdrawal intervals when using extralabel drug use or compounded products.

In the United States today, you can have your bank account closed, your credit cards cancelled, and your online payments revoked for any number of crimes, like funding terrorism, engaging in money laundering, or violating sanctions.Sensible, right? Well, you can also face financial ruin for teaching poetry.That's what seemingly happened to a Persian poetry teacher from Detroit whose accounts were flagged for “sanctions violations” because his students wrote “Persian classes” in their Venmo memos. There's also the story about the naked yoga practitioners who lost their payment processor for 60 days, forced to rebuild a subscriber list from scratch. And we can't forget the San Diego cannabis journalist cut off from Stripe—and from a paid Substack newsletter—because of the payment platform's rules that prohibit the promotion of the sale of cannabis.This is “financial censorship,” and it often happens when a bank, credit card provider, or payment app decides that a customer is too risky to serve. But “risky” doesn't always mean “illegal,” and when a major financial institution errs towards caution about what a customer is saying, advocating for, representing, or publishing, a lot of innocent people can be hurt in the process.That's what the digital rights activist Rainey Reitman learned in writing “Transaction Denied: Big Finance's Power to Punish Speech.” As Reitman explained about these hugely impactful decisions:“Even if they are well-intentioned, the financial systems can end up pulling in a lot of people that are not the actual target… Sometimes we talk about this as dolphins in the fishing lines.”These decisions are difficult to fight, frustratingly opaque, and nearly impossible to reverse. Compounding the problem is that that there aren't enough alternatives available for the financially censored to easily regain their freedom.The reality for hundreds of millions of people in this country is that about a dozen companies control all their finances. People mostly bank with Chase, or Bank of America, or Citigroup, or Wells Fargo. They mostly use credit cards assigned by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Capital One. And they mostly send money to one another and to small businesses using services like PayPal, Venmo, Cash app, and Square.For most people, these companies are supposed to operate in the background of their lives, providing reliable, secure financing to sustain and manage their livelihoods.In reality, these companies can become quite interested in what you say online, what payments you receive each month, and the locations those payments arrived from.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Reitman—who is also the president and a co-founder of the Freedom of the Press Foundation—about the real stories of those who have been financially censored, why financial companies cut off customers for legal speech, and how a single company's decision can create cascading consequences that feel impossible to fight.“They'd be locked out of Venmo, then they'd be locked out of PayPal—which is connected to Venmo—and then they'd suddenly lose their Chase Bank account. You could see that in a lot of instances, losing one form of access to the financial system, it could result in a pattern where they would be losing access repeatedly.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.
In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jean Philippe Tissot, Founder and Fund Manager at Arauca Capital, to dig into his behavioral framework for investing and why he believes managing your psychology is the real edge in micro-cap markets - not finding the next great setup. We break down how his tolerance for "hairiness" shifts depending on position size and company stage, why he treats trust in management like a relationship that erodes slowly then breaks all at once, and his deep dive into Sofwave — a non-invasive aesthetics device company, the symbol is SOFW on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Jean will be hosting a Fireside Q&A with Sofwave management at our event in Las Vegas. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.

In this episode, Erik P. Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™, and Xavier J. Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, unpack a misunderstood truth about building wealth: real wealth takes time. Picking up from their earlier conversations on discipline, behavior, and consistency, they dive into the power of compounding—not just financially, but professionally and personally as well. Through stories, analogies, and practical examples, they challenge the myth that wealth is built overnight and instead show how patience, endurance, and staying invested are what truly create long-term success. From the famous “penny doubled every day” example to lessons about career growth, relationships, and reputation, this conversation highlights how the biggest rewards often come after years of unseen work. Erik and Xavier explain why consistency matters more than quick wins, why emotional discipline is critical during slow seasons, and how time rewards those willing to stay in the game. Whether you're building financial wealth, developing skills, or growing a business, this episode is a reminder that compounding doesn't reward urgency—it rewards endurance. Episode Highlights: Xavier frames time as the series' "final ingredient," the force that turns discipline into stability and consistency into growth. (01:45) Erik discusses compound interest as one of the most powerful forces in finance, noting that every Stuff About Money guest asked what they wish they'd known sooner points to the same answer. (05:20) Erik explains the penny-doubling example, showing how a single cent doubled every day for 30 days compounds into more than five million dollars. (08:24) Xavier discusses career compounding, a form of growth driven not by money but by skills and experiences that stack into advantages over time. (12:26) Xavier shares the principle he stresses to his mentees: always be mindful of the person next to you, because you never know when they'll be in a position to help. (18:54) Erik wraps the series by revisiting the three wealth-building myths and landing on the real formula: avoid bad behaviors, cultivate good ones, and do both consistently enough for long enough. (22:23) Key Quotes: “Time is what turns discipline into stability and consistency into growth.” - Xavier J. Angel, CFP®, ChFC® “You never know who you're going to meet and when they may be able to help you or when they give you an opportunity. So always be mindful of that person next to you.” - Xavier J.

Mike Nicoletti is the founder and general partner of Top Mark Capital, a concentrated long-term investor who built his firm from a $110,000 seed during business school, drawing on experiences spanning tech consulting in Stockholm, competitive offshore sailing, and startup ventures.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/5:00 — Mike's family origin story: born near Toronto, his grandmother was a Jacuzzi — the family behind the iconic brand. From airplane propellers in WWI to water pumps to hydrotherapy, entrepreneurship ran deep.12:00 — The Jacuzzi family sold the business in 1979 at a bad time; infighting over share distribution led to the undoing. Mike's father passed away suddenly when Mike was seven, reshaping his childhood.16:00 — Stepfather John introduced frugality and discipline. The $1/week allowance ledger, $5 lawn mowing, and a grandfather's advice — "Sounds like you need some new customers" — sparked Mike's entrepreneurial instincts.20:00 — Sailing discovery: learned on a chalkboard, walked onto a college team with zero experience, eventually pursued competitive offshore racing. Sailing opened doors and became a lifelong thread.27:00 — In New York prepping a sailboat, Mike stumbles into Brian H. Lawrence's investing circle at Oak Cliff Sailing. Lawrence seeds Top Mark Capital with $100,000; Mike had $10,000.33:00 — Joel Greenblatt sighting at the Lawrence office. Brian Lawrence Jr. guides Mike through fund setup. "I just did it" — filed Delaware entities, opened Interactive Brokers, built it from scratch.40:00 — Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: static vs. dynamic quality as a framework for value investing. Value investors hunt for dynamic quality; dogma is dynamic quality that became static.45:00 — Top Mark's asymmetry thesis: buy quality businesses with unrecognized option value exposed to long-arc trends. Venture capital's trend-identification applied to public equities.53:00 — "Software is eating the world" evolution: from cloud to AI/ML to the current harness phase — Claude Code, Cursor, Perplexity. Enormous infrastructure demand ahead.59:00 — Healthcare disruption: genomic sequencing costs dropped from $1 billion to ~$200. Diagnostics + AI will reshape the care model before patients even see a doctor.1:07:00 — Partnerships over transactions. Buffett told Brian Lawrence only 1-2% of world capital is invested this way — and Berkshire is half of it.1:10:00 — Success defined: Mom's family had love without wealth, Dad's family had wealth with problems, the Lawrences had both. "Surround yourself with good people."1:12:00 — Restoring what was lost: the Jacuzzi fortune, Polish communism — generational wealth as inspiration, not entitlement.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

What if one of the most underutilized profit levers in your business… is already sitting right in front of you? In this episode, I sit down with membership and community strategist Becky Pierson Davidson to unpack how most business owners are leaving massive revenue - and retention - on the table by focusing on the wrong things. Most people think they have a marketing problem… When in reality, they have a retention and experience problem.

If you've ever felt like you're working too hard to bring people in… or like your offers aren't compounding the way they should… this episode will completely shift how you think about growth.

I met Tim Betts a few weeks ago when he was shopping for a Willemin mill-turn we had for sale. One conversation in and I knew he had to come on Swarfcast. Tim told me he’s in the drugs business, the guns business, and horse racing, and that actually makes him one of the most heavily regulated businessmen in America. Seriously, he’s a compounding pharmacist, he machines precision rifle parts, and he manufactures race bikes for harness racing around the world. And he’s all in on every one of them.

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swarfcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swarfcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/todays-machining-world Twitter: https://twitter.com/tmwswarfblog ************* Link to Graff-Pinkert's Acquisitions and Sales promotion! ************* Interview Highlights Guns Tim co-owns Procision Arms with his partner Jason, who runs the shop while Tim runs the office. They spotted a real gap in the market. Small and mid-sized gun builders were getting squeezed by venture capital firms buying up precision rifle component manufacturers, jacking up prices and cutting margins. Tim and Jason built their processes from the ground up to fill that void. Today they’re a full OEM shop producing parts to aerospace tolerances for bolt action hunting rifles. Five-axis machining, horizontal mills, EDM, serious work. Drugs Tim has a doctorate in pharmacy and works for a compounding pharmacy in southeastern Pennsylvania. Compounding means making custom medications that either don’t exist commercially or have been abandoned by drug companies as unprofitable. The work is intensely creative. If a child or animal won’t take a pill, you find another way. Tim’s team once made antibiotics for a rhino who happened to love Rice Krispie treats, so they baked the dose into a full 9×9 pan. They’ve also embedded pills into fish to medicate penguins. It’s a business tightly regulated by the FDA and more manufacturing than most people realize. Horses Tim and his brothers grew up in harness racing. Both of their grandfathers trained horses and his brother is a full-time trainer today. Tim also owns a company that manufactures the sulkies, the two-wheeled race bikes the horses pull. They ship them to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and South America. It’s a genuinely global manufacturing business inside a niche sport most people have never thought about. When Worlds Collide, Good Things Happen At first glance, these three worlds have nothing to do with each other. But the overlaps keep showing up. Veterinarians, some of Tim’s core pharmacy customers, turn out to be disproportionately into hunting and shooting, so pharmacy relationships open firearms doors. He met a major firearms customer through the horse world. And the problem-solving mindset carries across all three. As Tim puts it, the trial and error in pharmacy looks a lot like dialing in a new tool path in the shop. “This carrier didn’t really work at the pH it has to be at, so we have to try a different carrier. It’s a lot of the same type of things from a production standpoint.” His wife says she never knows when he takes a phone call at seven in the evening whether it’s going to be about horses, guns, machining, or pharmacy. Tim just shrugs. “Never a dull moment.”
What happens when more than half of rural hospitals stop delivering babies? Senior Advisor for Public Health at MaineHealth, former state health official, and ASTHO Alumni Society Representative Dr. Dora Anne Mills, tells us about the rapidly escalating rural maternity crisis and why it's more than just hospital closures. Dr. Mills explains how Maine has lost nearly half of its maternity units, creating vast “maternity deserts” where pregnant patients face 45-minute or even multi-hour drives for care. Compounding the crisis is worsening maternal health driven by chronic disease, mental health challenges, and substance use, especially among rural and underserved populations.ASTHO Learning Opportunity: ACEs Strategic Communications TrainingThriving Under Pressure: Building Resilient Dialysis Systems and Teams

Are you always trying to be perfect? Every day we face thousands of decisions that can either help us break free or tie us in knots. Today, we look at the sometimes overwhelming decision process that can affect triathletes in training, racing, and life. We get into premature optimization, how you should build your cake (base), and eventually ask if it's "decision" fatigue or "precision" fatigue. We talk about the idea of always feeling judged and graded and how that can wear out our love for the sport. We look at the differences between inside riding and outside. We talk about dealing with the elements without a second thought. We also look at how to get to the top and spoiler alert, it's not by skipping steps. When we boil it down, it all comes back to honoring the intent of your workouts. Also, if you're thinking of doing one of these GREAT MIDWEST races, Ironman 70.3 Rockford, Ironman 70.3 Muncie, Ironman Wisconsin, or Ironman 70.3 Omaha, please use this link to sign up so we get a little credit from the boss: https://go.ironman.com/crushingiron Topics: Tornadoes and biking in the dark Old Man Talk Micro decision making and fatigue Online training plans Premature optimization Over exposure to tips, tricks, and hacks Noise and marketing Compounding negative effects Precision making fatigue Intervals or consistent riding? Trainer fatigue Go for the INTENT of the workout Precision Fatigue Get outside Inside bike position vs Outside position Feeling judged and graded all the time F-bomb settings The cake is the intent, the icing is precision We don't need more weight on our backs Delaying getting back into things Intent is relative to the day, week, month This is for you Taking the stairs to get to the top Moving is the momentum Maximize your intent Make your wins possible RIP Uncle Butch Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
