Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the alarming rise of authoritarianism in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum and her ruling party, Morena. O'Grady details how the ruling party has systematically consolidated power by taking control of independent electoral bodies, tribunals, regulatory commissions, and the judiciary through politicized popular elections. She warns that Morena's latest effort targets television and radio—the primary sources of information for most Mexican citizens—to effectively censor critical independent media. While O'Grady deeply laments the weak leadership of the official political opposition, she finds hope in the strong pushback and widespread mobilization of Mexican civil society against these state controls.

In the second episode of our Deep Dive series on liberal political ideology, we move into the 19th century, the most turbulent, violent and intellectually fertile period in the history of the modern West.The 19th century was not a comfortable place to live. Factories belched smoke over overcrowded cities, children worked in mines, colonial violence was being inflicted on much of the world, and ideological conflict between communists, anarchists, liberals, conservatives and monarchists produced genuine political violence alongside the pamphlets and parliamentary debates. But running through all of that turbulence was something historically unprecedented: the belief, held by an ever-growing share of the population, that society could be shaped by human action. That tomorrow did not have to look like today.Our video essay traces how the intellectual seeds of the Enlightenment became practical political movements in the 19th century, driven by rising literacy, the power of the printing press, trade unions, mass mobilisation and the spectacular optimism generated by rapid technological progress. Steam trains, early bicycles, the first automobiles, the 1900 Paris World Fair: these were not just engineering achievements. They were proof that humans could bend the future to their will. And when that belief in human agency combines with an increasingly literate and politically engaged working and middle class, the result is the intellectual foundation for liberal democracy.In our discussion, Balder and Dario ask why we do not feel that same optimism today, even though the technological changes around us are at least as dramatic. The answer, they argue, is that the 19th century had something we have largely lost: genuine ideological debate about where society should go, carried by people who believed their participation in that debate actually mattered.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

One of the most difficult—and least discussed—aspects of building a Consolidated Service Center (CSC) is securing executive support and capital investment.   Success depends on connecting strategy, financial value and patient outcomes to an organization's broader goals. Ganesh Chandran is joined by Dr. Akeem Bale, Vice President, Pharmacy Services at the University of Texas Medical Branch, and Dr. Laura Mark, Vice President of Pharmacy at Allegheny Health Network, to discuss the strategic, financial, and organizational steps that transformed a promising idea into an approved capital investment.  Guest Speakers:  Akeem O. Bale, PharmD, MS, MBA, BCPS, BCSCP Vice President, Pharmacy Services Program Director, PGY1/2 HSPAL Residency Program UTMB Health, Department of Pharmacy Services Laura Mark, MS, MHM, PharmD Vice President of Pharmacy  Allegheny Health Network   Host:   Ganesh Chandran, PharmD, MBA Pharmacy Executive  Vizient Pharmacy Enterprise Support    Show notes: [01:12] How each organization recognized that traditional pharmacy operations could no longer support future growth, expanding ambulatory care, and increasing operational complexity. Why long-term strategic planning, workforce challenges, and enterprise wide support became the driving forces behind pursuing a consolidated service center. [04:39] How successful business cases focus on organizational priorities such as patient access, financial performance, quality outcomes, and total cost of care instead of technology alone. Why demonstrating measurable value through pilots, standardization, and return on investment helps gain executive support for large scale transformation. [08:30] The importance of tailoring proposals to different executive stakeholders while building champions who can advocate for the vision. How early operational improvements and phased implementation can demonstrate value before construction or major capital investments begin. [10:24] Why breaking a consolidated service center strategy into manageable phases creates confidence among executive leaders and improves long term success. How responding to executive questions with refined financial models and scenario planning strengthens both the proposal and organizational trust. [13:12] How creating an enterprise wide pharmacy culture through standardization, trust, and shared leadership prepares teams for organizational change. Why establishing a one team philosophy before opening a new facility creates stronger collaboration and more sustainable operational success. [16:56] Practical advice for pharmacy leaders beginning their own consolidated service center journey, including learning from peer organizations and celebrating incremental progress. Why a consolidated service center should be viewed as an enabler of a broader pharmacy strategy that supports long term growth, scalability, and patient care rather than simply a new building.   Links and Resources: Pharmacy Enterprise Support   Subscribe Today!

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V: SCZ) (NASDAQ: SCZM) (FSE: 1SZ), joins us for a review of the Q2 2026 production and operational results across their portfolio of 4 producing silver-zinc mines and ore feed sourcing business in Bolivia and Mexico. We also review a few of the key growth initiatives that the company has slated for 2026 across multiple projects.   Q2 2026 Production Highlights   Primary Production Metrics:   Silver: 1,573,100 ounces Zinc: 23,240 tonnes Lead: 3,165 tonnes Copper: 337 tonnes   Supplemental Production Metrics:   Silver Equivalent Production: 2,814,489 silver equivalent ounces Zinc Equivalent Production: 59,680 zinc equivalent tonnes   Consolidated silver production increased 17% to 1,573,100 ounces in Q2 2026 from 1,341,499 ounces in Q1 2026, with quarter-over-quarter increases at all five operations. Lead production increased 18% to 3,165 tonnes and copper production increased 9% to 337 tonnes. Compared with Q2 2025, consolidated silver production increased 11%, and zinc production increased 10%, on 9% higher consolidated tonnes milled.   The improvement was driven primarily by higher processed volumes, with consolidated tonnes milled increasing 7% to 521,956 tonnes, together with higher silver head grades at Bolivar and Porco and a marked improvement in silver recovery at Zimapan.   At Bolivar silver production increased 32% quarter-over-quarter to 343,522 ounces, driven by ongoing recovery efforts in the areas affected by the localized flooding event that occurred in May 2025. San Lucas processed 22% more ore than in the prior quarter. Consolidated zinc production increased 7% to 23,240 tonnes, driven principally by higher throughput, which more than offset lower zinc grades at Bolivar and Porco. Porco delivered higher silver and zinc production, driven by stronger silver grades and improved metal recoveries, while Caballo Blanco continued to make steady, meaningful contributions.   At Zimapan, operations rebounded from the temporary constraints experienced during the first quarter, including limited ventilation in the higher-grade zones at Level 960 due to a contractor delay in completing the ventilation Robbins incline shaft, as well as repeated power interruptions caused by the local service provider's maintenance of the power grid. As a result, metal recoveries improved across all four payable metals.   Next we transitioned to future growth, where the operations team is advancing their silver-dominant Soracaya mine towards development and near-term production. There is already a decline ramp into this project with initial stope access in 2 areas, and the plan once the permit is received in Q3 is to get this mine into initial ramp-up production by Q4 of 2026.   Wrapping up, we discussed the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas.  The board and management team are open to a currently producing mine or development-stage underground mining assets, but only if the acquisition would be accretive for shareholders and if their team can unlock value in these acquired assets.     If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email those to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Santacruz Silver   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

FedRAMP has changed before. What makes the Consolidated Rules for 2026 different is that the dates are on the calendar and the fence sitters have run out of runway. Jason Ford, Co-Founder and CEO of Steel Patriot Partners, has been inside the program since Rev 3 in 2013. Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer, comes at it from the business side. Together they map what changes and, more usefully, what it means for the decision in front of a provider right now. So what actually changes? The program consolidates into two paths, 20X and Rev 5. FedRAMP Ready moves to legacy status. Class A, B, and C pipelines open across a thirty to sixty day window, mandatory adoption arrives January 1, and new Rev 5 certifications close on June 11, 2027. Authorized becomes certified. Jason Ford also points out where the rules live: fedramp.gov, hosted in GitHub, which means they move with a commit. Reading them once is not tracking them. Why did FedRAMP need to change at all? Michael Parisi frames it as a supply problem. Agencies and primes have been working from a limited and aging set of technologies while better tools sat outside a process that was slow, rudimentary, and expensive. The action was warranted. His follow-up question gets less airtime: if the process moved faster, did responsibility move with it, and does the stakeholder now holding that due diligence know it yet? The engineering shift is real and it is the part most teams see coming. Jason Ford describes RMF thinking giving way to continuous DevSecOps, proving compliance in real time rather than at a point in time. Vulnerability remediation is where the compression bites. CISA's updated guidance drops severity score as the driver in favor of stepped prioritization, and windows that used to run 30, 60, and 90 days now land closer to three to twenty-one. What does this cost a business past the budget line? Time and capacity. 20X is faster than a Rev 5 process that once ran eighteen months, but faster is not instant. Retraining a couple hundred users inside a thousand-person organization is not a small endeavor, and if the transition eats half of the organization's capacity for a year, that is half as much capacity aimed at the business paying for it. Jason Ford is not arguing against the move. He is arguing that disruption belongs inside the decision. Then there is the internal work almost nobody has started. Mapping an existing Rev 5 ATO scope into a new certification level is not clear-cut, and past the mapping, marketing and sales both need re-education. Michael Parisi describes building a translation layer for customers: here is what we provided before, here is what it is now, and this change came from the program rather than from any reduction in assurance. Roughly half the time, Steel Patriot Partners tells organizations not to pursue certification at all. Michael Parisi treats that as one of the more valuable things the firm does. The opposite failure shows up just as often, with companies preparing to spend heavily on 20X because it sounds quicker and cheaper, when the agency or prime they are chasing expects a certification level. A lower bar only helps if the buyer accepts it. Where should a business start? With the business conversation. Michael Parisi notes the answer does not have to be yes or no today; it can be a maybe with defined trigger points. Jason Ford closes on posture: come with an open mind, and do not hand a multi-year commitment to a language model whose guardrails and training are not built for that call. Or, shorter: don't wait, and don't go it alone. Steel Patriot Partners built a three-question starting point for that first conversation at https://www.steelpatriotpartners.com/find-your-path.

Peter Mauch explains that as War Minister, Tojo—nicknamed "The Razor"—instilled iron discipline within the fractious Japanese army to earn the Emperor's favor. He consolidated political power by centralizing military communication and cashiering insubordinate officers. Meanwhile, Japan eyed the defenseless Southeast Asian colonies of European powers, determined not to "miss the bus." (12/16)1943

We dig into the film's bold tonal shift, unforgettable soundtrack, and the shocking moments that left an entire generation of kids staring at the screen in disbelief. Does this animated cult classic still have the touch… or does it dare to be stupid?

Cult Classic Status from Bold Choices (00:39) The film's decision to kill most of the original cast early was a major risk that shaped its lasting appeal. This choice was tied to marketing a new toy line, forcing the removal of older characters to introduce new ones. The high character death count was unusual for 1980s cartoons but resonated as a memorable and impactful narrative choice. Sam Alicea emphasized the movie's unique "music video" style and violent tone as key to its charm. Soundtrack as a Defining Feature (00:29) The film features a heavy metal soundtrack with songs like "The Touch" and Weird Al Yankovic's contribution, which remain popular. Sam highlighted the soundtrack's role in making the movie enjoyable even when used as background during chores. The soundtrack's placement sometimes felt forced but added to the overall energetic vibe of the film. The music helped cement the movie's nostalgic value and cultural impact beyond just the story. Animation Quality and Style (00:32) The animation is a mix of highly detailed hand-drawn sequences and inconsistent lower-budget scenes. Key moments like Unicron's introduction and the transformation of Galvatron show impressive craftsmanship. Some sequences, such as Autobot City's transformation, defy logic but maintain visual excitement. The movie's aesthetic reflects typical 1980s animation with a blend of impressive and sloppy elements. Character and Design Highlights (00:14, 00:33) The introduction of new characters like Hot Rod and Cup served marketing goals but received mixed reception; some preferred legacy characters instead. The Dinobots, especially Grimlock, were fan favorites noted for their personality and screen presence. Decepticons like Galvatron and Starscream stood out, with Starscream's treacherous antics praised. New designs leaned toward smoother, rounded shapes compared to the original blockier forms, signaling the toy line shift. Strategic Marketing and Toy Line Impact The movie functioned primarily as a vehicle to launch a new toy line, influencing story and character decisions deeply (00:12, 00:16). Toy Line Rollout Drives Plot and Character Fate (00:12) Killing off legacy characters cleared the stage for a new roster designed to sell fresh toys. Characters like Cup were introduced primarily to support new toy sales rather than story needs, frustrating some fans. Hot Rod's arc was designed to establish a fresh hero while maintaining toyetic appeal. The shift to new designs reflected a strategic move to modernize the brand and stimulate consumer interest. Balancing Narrative and Marketing Needs (00:16) The movie's story and character choices sometimes sacrificed cohesion for toy marketing goals. Legacy characters like Perceptor and the Dinobots were retained to maintain continuity and fan connection. Some characters, like Ultra Magnus, were less favored due to lack of narrative effectiveness but existed for toy continuity. The film's pacing and tone reflected the tension between storytelling and commercial objectives. Voice Cast and Star Power Usage (00:24) Leonard Nimoy's casting as Galvatron was a notable stunt but was not sustained beyond the movie. Orson Welles' last role as Unicron added gravitas despite limited credit and technical challenges with his audio. Voice changes and stunt casting decisions were influenced by budget and potential marketing impact. The cast choices reflect a blend of marketing intent and creative ambition. Narrative and Character Development Critiques The movie's storytelling assumes audience familiarity and presents mixed character arcs, impacting accessibility and engagement (00:38, 00:59). High Barrier for New Viewers (00:38) Nick Wolfe identified the movie as not beginner-friendly, expecting viewers to know extensive Transformers lore. The lack of exposition around key characters and events made it confusing for newcomers. Proposed solutions included adding narrated backstory and flashbacks to ease new viewers into the plot. This gap likely contributed to the movie's commercial failure despite strong fan following. Character Arcs and Roles (00:16, 00:59) Hot Rod's character is a flawed hero whose leadership rise felt unearned, creating mixed audience reception. Cup's role was criticized for being a new character inserted mainly for toy reasons rather than story depth. The pitch suggested replacing Cup with a legacy character like Ironhide to strengthen narrative bonds. Optimus Prime's death remains a pivotal emotional moment but complicates continuity and future storytelling. Supporting Characters and Dynamics (01:06, 01:09) Grimlock's interactions with Hot Rod added needed conflict and character development. Supporting characters like RC and Springer were noted as effective background players without overwhelming the story. Starscream's consistent treachery was highlighted as a strong character trait enhancing the villain dynamic. There was consensus that some Decepticon characters disappeared too quickly, weakening the villain ensemble. Proposed Improvements and Alternate Pitch Nick Wolfe's detailed pitch aimed to make the movie more accessible, coherent, and emotionally resonant without losing core elements (00:39, 00:42). Introductory Narration and Flashbacks (00:42) Suggested opening with Optimus Prime narrating key backstory events to orient new viewers. Including flashbacks to important episodes would provide context for the war, characters, and stakes. This would bridge the gap between fans and newcomers, enhancing story clarity. It also sets up the importance of Energon and Autobot City more clearly. Expanded Character Development and Role Reassignments (00:43, 00:51) Proposed making Cup more like Ironhide or Tanker (an original draft character) to improve narrative depth. Hot Rod would be shown as a capable fighter before his failures, building audience empathy. Grimlock and Hot Rod's relationship would be deepened with conflict and eventual teamwork. Optimus Prime would be critically wounded but kept alive on life support, preserving his legacy. Streamlined Plot and Group Dynamics (00:50) Consolidated the Junkion and Quintesson arcs into a single planet scenario for simplicity. Divided Autobots into clear factions with distinct challenges to create focused narrative threads. Added heroic sacrifices and teamwork moments to raise stakes and emotional impact. The pitch ended with Optimus evolving into Ultra Magnus, aligning with toy line needs while preserving character continuity. Maintaining Cult Appeal While Improving Accessibility (01:03) The pitch carefully retained key emotional beats like Optimus Prime's near-death and Hot Rod's rise. It balanced new viewer guidance with fan service to preserve the movie's iconic moments. Suggested minor tweaks to Unicron's scale and lore to reduce confusion without major changes. The approach aimed to prevent later franchise regrets about character handling seen in season three. Fan and Host Perspectives on Movie's Legacy The hosts and guest expressed strong affection for the movie's nostalgic and cultural value despite its flaws (00:59, 01:00). Embracing the Movie's 1980s Roots (01:00) Sam Alicea stressed the film's authentic 80s vibe, embracing both its high-quality animation and its rough edges. The movie was seen as a time capsule of 80s animation and storytelling norms, including its willingness to embrace trauma. The soundtrack's energy and the movie's unapologetic style were key to its enduring love. There was reluctance to change the movie too much, preserving its unique charm. Appreciation of Character Moments and Humor (01:09) Starscream was praised for his consistent jerkiness, providing comic relief and memorable villainy. The Decepticons' internal conflicts were contrasted with the Autobots' camaraderie, enriching character dynamics. The hosts lamented the disappearance of classic Decepticons when newer ones appeared. The blend of action, humor, and character quirks contributed to the movie's lasting appeal. Community and Ongoing Engagement (01:12, 01:16) Nick Wolfe and hosts highlighted fan communities like the Certain Point of View Media Discord for ongoing discussions. References to other Transformers properties like Beast Wars show layered fan engagement across generations. The show's Patreon and related projects encourage deeper fan interaction and content creation. The continued interest in the movie reflects its significance beyond initial box office performance. Distribution and Community Outreach The podcast promotes broader engagement through Patreon, additional shows, and social media presence (01:16). Patreon Support and Exclusive Content (01:16) The show thanks executive producer-level patrons by name, recognizing their financial support.

[Recorded February 28th, 2026]:   Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for a special video update to visually highlight the key takeaways from the 2025 exploration season.  Consolidated results now include all the multi-element results, from 110 holes drilled on the Surebet Discovery at the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C.  We also discuss the strong financial position of the treasury, which has budgeted another large expansion drill program in 2026.   On February 24, 2026, the Company announced the multi-element results on the final 56 drill holes, accounting for silver, copper, lead, and zinc values within these holes. Goliath reported an average 19.6% increase in overall grade values from these previously announced gold-only assays, with numerous high-grade intercepts including 24.16 g/t AuEq over 7.00 meters. Across all 110 drill holes completed during the 2025 season, this polymetallic contribution is an average increase of 16.5% in overall grade values from the gold-only assays. 92,000 meters of drilling was completed in the four prior drilling seasons (2021-2024) on the Surebet Discovery resulted in the modeling of a vast stacked vein system. The 2025 drilling season alone, with more than 64,000 meters of drilling, has expanded the modelled stacked vein system that remains open; over 156,000 meters total have been drilled to date. Of the holes drilled during the 2025 campaign, 83 out of 110 holes (or 76%) contained visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE). 100% of the drill holes completed to date, have all intersected gold mineralization clearly demonstrating the remarkable continuity, grades, and widths in 5 Main Gold-Rich Zones comprising 46 mineralized lodes that remain open for expansion. Roger outlines the Company's rationale that it makes far more sense to keep expanding the mineralization with aggressive exploration programs, versus trying to pin down the MRE at this stage; when the Project is still open in most directions. This demonstrates the continuity of this high-grade gold system and the remaining untapped expansion potential of the Surebet discovery for 2026 and beyond..   The fully funded 2026 drill program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.   On February 28, 2026, Goliath Resources announced that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”) to extend the term of an aggregate of 2,590,673 common share purchase warrants of the Company, with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $2.50 per Warrant Share. In addition to future conversion of warrants from Rob McEwen, the company's equity holdings of McEwen Inc (MUX) shares, which have essentially gone up about 3X since acquiring them, also provide the option for more capital inflows into the company treasury to fund more exploration.     If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com .   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Goliath Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

John Teeling joins Business Builders for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about risk, resilience, and the 20-year bet that helped revive Irish whiskey. When John entered the industry in the 1980s, Irish whiskey had fallen to under 2% of the global market. Consolidated into a struggling monopoly and written off by many, it looked like a declining category. Instead of walking away, he built. From buying a shuttered chemical plant in Dundalk and installing second-hand pot stills, to navigating bank loan recalls, political pressure, and years without meaningful profit, John explains what it really took to build Cooley Distillery; and why the payoff took nearly two decades. But this episode goes far beyond whiskey. John shares lessons from decades in mining, resources, and investing, where high risk doesn't mean high reward, but high probability of loss. He breaks down the difference between risk and uncertainty, why “the Euro is an orphan,” and why unsophisticated investors should never be in speculative markets. This is a conversation about long-term conviction, imposter syndrome, stubborn belief, and building businesses that outlast downturns. At 80 years old, John reflects on endurance, energy, family, legacy, and what it really means to take responsibility when you persuade others to back your vision.

Across the grain industry, facility leaders are navigating a level of uncertainty we haven't seen in years. Volatile commodity markets. Weather extremes. Labor shortages. Tighter margins. Rising expectations around safety, uptime, and quality.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz sits down with Matt Koch, Chief Marketing Officer at Sukup Manufacturing Co., to explore what it really takes to operate a modern grain facility in today's unpredictable environment.From macro market pressures and geopolitical shifts to storage strategy, grain conditioning risk, and practical automation, this conversation moves beyond equipment to systems thinking. Matt shares a global perspective from working with producers, commercial elevators, terminals, and processors across more than 100 countries.The takeaway? Long-term success isn't just about buying low and selling high. It's about reducing loss, designing resilient systems, and operating dependably—year after year.What You'll Learn• Why many operators are shifting from short-term optimization to 3–7 year strategic planning • How global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics are shaping grain infrastructure decisions • Why storage is becoming a strategic lever—not just capacity • The hidden risks of large-bin consolidation and long-term storage • How under-designed aeration systems quietly erode margins • Why CO₂ monitoring often detects grain issues before temperature spikes • What meaningful automation actually looks like in commercial facilities • How modular OEM automation systems can improve safety and consistency • Why preventing loss often matters more than market timingKey ThemesStorage as StrategyWell-designed storage allows operators to create market flexibility, improve throughput, standardize multi-site operations, and reduce management complexity. Scale has changed the game—and infrastructure must evolve with it.Grain Conditioning RiskAs bins grow larger, risk grows with them. Consolidated storage requires tighter monitoring. CO₂ levels, moisture control, proper fan management, and active oversight are critical to protecting grain value over long-term storage cycles.Automation for Real-World OperationsAutomation isn't about flashy control rooms. It's about preventing operator error at 2:00 a.m., improving safety, supporting lean teams, and ensuring consistent procedures across facilities.Loss Prevention Over SpeculationWhile commodity markets drive headlines, operational discipline drives profitability. Reducing spoilage, minimizing downtime, and designing dependable systems may be the most powerful competitive advantage.Learn more at: www.sukup.comGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Pro-Iran Militias Dominate Iraqi Elections; Iran Losing Control of Houthis — John Batchelor, Thaddeus Martin, Malcolm Hoenlein — Batchelor reports that pro-Iran militias and their political front organizations consolidated unprecedented power in Iraq's recent election, generating concern among American officials regarding Iranian regional influence expansion. Martin documents a counterintuitive development: Iran appears to be losing operational control over the Houthis in Yemen, its most strategically critical proxy force in the region. Hoenlein concludes with positive news regarding the Bene Manasseh, descendants of the ancient lost Israelite tribe, returning to Israel and establishing community and cultural presence.

FedEx Freight is becoming a standalone public company, with its parent planning to spend $600 million to enhance its IT systems and infrastructure ahead of the separation . Consolidated adjusted earnings for FedEx were strong for the fiscal first quarter, exceeding expectations even though FedEx Freight revenue saw a 3.1% year-over-year decline. Hear the latest on the ongoing labor negotiations as Canada Post prepares to present a new contract offer to unionized mail carriers in an effort to break the existing stalemate. However, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers declined to immediately drop their limited strike action—a ban on delivering marketing mail—and asked why negotiations need to be postponed for another week after two years without new collective agreements. The morning minute also features the opening of the Savage Tooele Railroad in the northwest corridor of Utah, marking the state's first new short line railroad in over a century.

I recorded this conversation in Alpbach, Austria, a village that looks like a postcard and hosts a very serious tech gathering. TechSummit25 is Barracuda's deeply technical event, and it shows. The rooms are packed with solution architects, product managers, and engineers comparing notes with customers who run these systems every day. It is the kind of environment where product direction and real-world pain points meet over a coffee, then head straight into a lab to test an idea. My guest today is Neal Bradbury, Chief Product Officer at Barracuda, who leads engineering, product management, and the operations teams that keep services running around the clock. Fresh from a session titled “Secured today, secured tomorrow,” Neal breaks down what that promise means in practice. We explore why Barracuda is doubling down on a platform approach with Barracuda One, how a single dashboard helps teams see posture and value in one place, and why consolidation matters when alerts and tools pile up faster than teams can respond. We also talk about the balance between immediate protection and longer-term planning. Neil explains how quarterly releases and shared services underpin the roadmap, how zero trust network access moves from theory to deployment as VPNs fade, and how managed vulnerability services help organizations find risks they did not know they had. He shares why service providers are shifting toward vCIO and vCISO models, how value reporting answers the board's simplest question about where the budget goes, and why response time is the measure that keeps coming up in every conversation. Secured today, secured tomorrow The headline theme is simple enough. Know where you stand right now, then set a clear plan for the next year. Barracuda One aims to cut noise and show whether tools are configured properly. The same view rolls up alerts across email, network, and application security, and for MSPs it stretches across all customers. That single source of truth is designed to reduce swivel-chair work and make decisions faster. We dig into the reality of tool sprawl and alert fatigue. A recent study Barracuda commissioned points to teams carrying too many point solutions, with slower responses and misconfigurations as the cost. Neal's answer is convergence without ignoring specialist depth. Product groups keep shipping, while shared AI and threat protection services raise the floor across the portfolio. That approach feeds directly into XDR, where integrations with tenants, firewalls, and endpoints help shrink the gap between detection and action. AI sits in the background of all of this. Neal describes it as a reckless intern that needs guardrails. In practice that means setup wizards that cut deployment time, incident response that can pull a bad message from twenty tenants in one sweep, and ML-driven triggers that fire automated remediation when patterns line up. The aim is clear. Let machines handle the routine work at machine speed, so people can focus on decisions and the weird edge cases attackers love to try. What listeners will take away If you run security day to day, you will hear practical direction rather than slogans. Consolidated dashboards exist to show posture, not just counts. Value reporting exists to explain outcomes to a board, not to pad a slide deck. Managed services rise in importance because many organizations need strategy as much as tools, and that includes smaller enterprises that outsource large parts of their stack. For leaders planning the next quarter, the emphasis on zero trust and managed vulnerability services will stand out. For operators, the XDR and SOAR focus is about shaving minutes into seconds, connecting identity with network and endpoint events, and giving analysts room to breathe. And for anyone curious about how product roadmaps form, conferences like this one offer a candid loop between feedback and action that you rarely see on a press release. By the time we wrap, Alpbach's quiet streets feel like an unlikely place to discuss ransomware, posture, and platform design. Yet that contrast makes the conversation land even harder. Secure today, plan for tomorrow, and give your team the visibility to do both.

Interview with Scott Emerson, President & CEO, and Kieran Downes, Director of Kingsmen ResourcesRecording date: 5th September 2025Kingsmen Resources presents a compelling investment opportunity in Mexico's precious metals sector through its systematic consolidation of historic mining districts and disciplined approach to exploration financing. The company has assembled two significant projects in Chihuahua's renowned Parral district, targeting areas with established production history and modern expansion potential.The flagship Las Coloradas project centers on a mine that operated from 1944 to 1952, producing high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization averaging 600-800 grams per tonne. Through methodical claim assembly, Kingsmen has consolidated what was previously 15 separate claim blocks into a cohesive nine-square-mile package. Modern exploration has extended the original 300-meter strike length to 1.4 and 1.7 kilometers respectively, suggesting significant expansion potential beyond historic workings.Current operations focus on a 3,000-meter drilling program targeting 11-12 holes with depths ranging from 250 to 500 meters. The program tests continuation of mineralization along strike and below the historic water table, with results expected by September 2025. Technical work has identified strong pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, beryllium, and bismuth, while induced polarization surveys reveal extensive sulfide development across multiple rock types.The Almoloya project represents the company's second major consolidation success. Almoloya has attracted previous attention from major mining companies including Hecla, Anglo American, and Kennecott, though these operators worked individual claim blocks rather than the consolidated package now controlled by Kingsmen. This previous work generated approximately $3 million worth of historical data that Kingsmen acquired without associated exploration costs.Management maintains exceptional capital discipline with only 25 million shares outstanding, having completed all acquisitions through cash payments rather than equity dilution. The Las Coloradas acquisition totals $2.1 million over seven years with no net smelter return, while Almoloya requires $8 million over eight years with a 2% NSR. Both payment schedules feature minimal upfront costs, allowing systematic exploration without financial strain.Strategic positioning creates multiple value realization pathways. GoGold operates processing facilities just 40 kilometers from Las Coloradas, currently trucking tailings 10 miles to their heap leach facility. This proximity suggests potential synergies for toll processing or outright acquisition if Kingsmen demonstrates sufficient scale and grade. The company also holds a purchasable royalty on GoGold's Los Ricos North project for $1 million, providing additional leverage to regional consolidation trends.Under President Scott Emerson's leadership, the company benefits from extensive mining experience including the Jolu mine discovery in northern Saskatchewan and 18 years developing projects in Argentina with Mitsubishi funding. Technical expertise comes from Director Kieran Downes, formerly with Cameco's uranium and gold divisions, while local representation through third-generation mining family member Carlos Garza provides social license and operational knowledge.Management targets resource potential exceeding 200 million ounces across both projects, based on geological similarities to regional deposits that have operated for centuries. The systematic approach to previously unexplored-by-juniors territory, combined with strong technical data and favorable operational conditions, positions Kingsmen for potential significant value creation through successful exploration results while preserving equity value through disciplined capital allocation.View Kingsmen Resources' company profle: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kingsmen-resources-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
