Catherine and Kyle are deep in event-season chaos this week — the printed Driven by Data magazine has just gone to print, the digital edition is about to launch, and Driven by Data Live is just eight days away. Catherine recaps her (very delayed) trip to Big Data London: reconnecting with the community, a noticeably different vendor landscape stacked with new AI-era players, and "context" as this cycle's buzzword of choice. It sparks a wider conversation with Kyle about why staying visible in the market, through events, LinkedIn or simply contributing to the conversation, matters more than ever in a leadership hiring market where six months out of work is fast becoming the norm.From there, the conversation turns to AI and human oversight, prompted by the now-infamous clip of a Canadian politician reading his AI-generated speech live, chatbot suggestions and all. Catherine and Kyle use it to unpick a bigger pattern: traditional checks and review are quietly disappearing as people lean on LLM output uncritically, whether that's AI-generated pitch decks stripped of intentional choices, or candidates' CVs that increasingly sound like the job description they were lifted from. They also debrief Tuesday's episode with Aimee Smith, UK Government Chief Data Officer, covering her culture-not-technology diagnosis of Whitehall's data-sharing problem, the surprising admission from Microsoft and Amazon that government's scale may be beyond current technology, and just how subjective "success" and value become once you're operating in public service rather than the private sector.They also discuss:Why Catherine's top tip about not moaning about trains backfired within hours of giving it.Why so many familiar faces were missing from Big Data London's vendor stands, and what that says about the market.Why "context" has become this season's buzzword, and why some vendors are stretching to say yes to whatever a prospect asks for.Why stepping out of the market for 18 months, even while genuinely busy doing the day job, can leave you without a way back in when you need one.Why the days of walking straight into a new role within a few weeks of redundancy are over.Why one CDO is advising his mentees to keep six months of financial runway.Why leadership hiring is busier than ever, but so is the competition for every role.What the viral clip of a politician reading his AI-generated speech, chatbot prompts and all, reveals about eroding human oversight.Why neither Catherine nor Kyle blame the politician himself, and where they think the real failure sits.Why AI-generated pitch decks and slides are losing the intentionality that came from every element being a deliberate choice.Why candidates rewriting their CVs to mirror a job description word-for-word is backfiring on them.Why six major banks are flagging the fraud and accountability risks of AI agents transacting on people's behalf.Why B2C brands are already leaning into "handmade" and human-made marketing, and why B2B is likely to follow.Why hiring a copywriter who sounds human could become a genuine differentiator again.Why Aimee Smith's move from 25 years in policing to UK Government Chief Data Officer meant relearning how power and language actually work.Why even Microsoft and Amazon weren't confident the technology exists to handle government's scale and complexity.Why culture and risk appetite, not technology, are the real blockers to data sharing across government.Why "value" and "success" mean something fundamentally different in public service than in the private sector.Why government's federated, siloed structure makes Aimee's mandate harder than the equivalent role in the private sector.A reminder that Aimee Smith will be at Driven by Data Live next week, so bring your questions.

On today's episode, Legal Tuesday with James, Dwayne, and Ben on the phone. Glenn is stuck on mute and cussing on the drive back from the Illuminati conference, so the green room reboots the Roadie mic and rolls without him. The guys open on the opposite of Musk: Bill Gates as an overrated Silicon Valley pirate, Ben's man-on-the-street chatter about GMO ticks and alpha-gal bioterror, and Dwayne's Grok cleanup showing three different tick species got mixed together. Then the real rocket story. Yesterday's Starbase flight lost a Raptor, burned the rest longer, dispensed 26 V3 Starlinks, hit real orbit, and still got painted as a blowup, plus a 50-foot French bronze Prometheus now guarding the Starbase gate like a half-size Statue of Liberty. DOGE's NGO money hose, teens trending straight again, Trump's swimming-pool meme for the briefing room, the Fox, Dominion, and Tucker fallout, and Bartiromo with Nick Shirley on X set up the pocketbook and case cards. That includes Abbott's 90-day red-dye diesel relief for farmers, Louisiana's push for a 90-day diesel export pause, the higher-ed bubble with Tech's Henderson out and Trump's ban on loans for degrees that don't pay, D.C.'s CVS-unlock crime index, Fetterman's "lifelong Republican" slip, SCOTUS knocking Missouri's map back, and the voter-database green light that keeps the rolls in play. Add midterm optimism, Dearborn, pocket rescission, and PJ's Exit 33 on Maple Street. Don't miss it!

What does it take to move from a corporate career into entrepreneurship — and then build and scale a technology business internationally?In this episode of Buy-and-Build & Scaling Stories, Anirvan Sen speaks with Samit Sengupta, Founder and Managing Director of Geologix, about his journey from corporate leader to entrepreneur.But this is not simply a story about starting a company.It is about what happens as the company grows — when the founder's expertise is no longer enough, hiring becomes harder, the organization becomes more complex, and the entrepreneur must evolve alongside the business.Samit shares how his early experience working on oil rigs gave him a first-hand understanding of his customers and helped shape the way he approached the market.He also speaks candidly about one of the challenges many founders eventually face: becoming a bottleneck in their own business.Our conversation then turns to one of the biggest challenges for growing SMEs — hiring.Samit discusses mistakes made by pursuing candidates with impressive “gold label” companies on their CVs and why experience in a major corporation did not always translate into success in a smaller entrepreneurial business.That experience led to a different approach: recruiting less-experienced people, looking closely at their attitude and problem-solving ability, and investing in developing their capabilities over time.We also discuss Geologix's experience with freemium, international scaling, and why Samit continues investing in his own leadership development even after decades of experience.• Samit's journey from corporate leader to entrepreneur• How experience on oil rigs shaped his understanding of customers• Winning the confidence of early customers• Building and scaling an international technology business• Recognizing when the founder becomes a bottleneck• Why impressive corporate CVs do not always produce the right SME hires• Hiring less-experienced people and developing their capabilities• Looking for attitude and problem-solving ability during interviews• Geologix's experience with freemium• Why entrepreneurs need to continue upgrading their own leadership capabilitiesAs your company grows, are you simply building a bigger business — or are you building an organization capable of operating at a bigger scale?One of the strongest lessons from Samit's journey is that the capabilities required to start a business are not necessarily the capabilities required to scale it.Starting often depends heavily on the founder's knowledge, relationships, expertise, and problem-solving ability.Scaling increasingly depends on building those capabilities throughout the organization.And that requires the entrepreneur to keep evolving too.------------Connect with Samit Sengupta⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/samit-sengupta-b560613/⁠Geologix:⁠https://www.geologix.com/⁠--------Connect with Anirvan SenLinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anirvansen/⁠-------------About Buy-and-Build & Scaling StoriesBuy-and-Build & Scaling Stories brings together founders, CEOs, CFOs, investors, operators, and advisers who have lived through the challenges of building, acquiring, scaling, and exiting businesses.These are stories from inside the journey — the decisions, challenges, mistakes, and lessons that rarely appear in deal announcements or investment presentations.Hosted by Fifth Chrome.Presented by Anirvan Sen.

Send us Fan MailRecruitment has never had more technology, yet most desks still rise or fall on the same old inputs: quality conversations, sharp judgement, and the discipline to do the work that actually drives fees. We are joined by Ross Clennent, a recruiter since 1989, coach to agency owners, and the voice behind Recruitment News Australia, to unpack what's changed and what stubbornly hasn't from the landline era to today's AI rush.Ross takes us back to London in 1989 where a “candidate database” meant a manila folder of CVs and the KPI was simple: book interviews and make placements. From there we get into the modern productivity paradox, how internal HR slowed hiring cycles, and why the core still comes down to talking to clients and candidates. We also dive into the hardest promotion in agency life: moving from biller to leader. Ross shares a clear framework for managing performance without drama by setting expectations across results, activities and behaviour, then using objective reporting to run accountability chats as an inquiry, not a confrontation.On AI in recruitment, Ross is optimistic but blunt: the bar is rising, average recruiters will feel it first, and the winners will use automation to protect more time for the human “grey area” work AI can't do well yet, influencing, negotiating, and helping both sides flex to meet in the middle. We also tackle specialisation versus generalist desks, the looming rookie training gap, and why playing the long game is still the best career insurance.If you found this useful, subscribe, share it with a recruiter or agency owner who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show· Our Website is: xrecruiter.io

How much equity should a founder give away in a funding round? Eric Josovitz, founder and CEO of AdaptCFO, has a firm rule: never more than 30% per round. If you would need to give away more, go back and build more value first. In this episode of Test. Optimize. Scale., host Jason Fishman interviews Eric Josovitz, founder and CEO of AdaptCFO, a fractional CFO and accounting firm for founders. Eric served as fractional CFO for PrizePicks, has a client that recently had a $4 billion exit, and was head of finance at specialty pharmacy Encompass Rx, which grew from $100 million to $400 million in about a year and a half before selling to CVS. He also hosts the Growth Under Pressure podcast. Questions this episode answers: - How much equity should you give away per funding round? (No more than 30%) - What is the cheapest type of capital? (Grants, then debt. Equity is the most expensive.) - What happens when an early investor gets too much control? - Why is overvaluing your company dangerous? (It sets you up for a down round) - Why do the real KPIs start with your financial statements? - What does a five-year books cleanup and a six-figure IRS fine teach founders? - When should you raise capital?

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/AGIpodcast In this episode, you'll hear how artificial intelligence is actually being pointed at aging right now, including an algorithm picking which Chinese herbs extend a fruit fly's life, plus whether the biological age test you just paid for means anything at all. My guest is Dr. Ben Goertzel, who popularized the term artificial general intelligence, runs a decentralized AI network, and is chief scientist at Hanson Robotics. We get into the long-lived fruit flies his team works on at Genescient, the roughly five traditional Chinese herbs an AI selected from a database and combined in ways that more than double a middle-aged fly's life, and why the AI mixes them in combinations no Chinese medicine practitioner ever would. You'll also learn why he says today's biological age tests are "a little dodgy," why large language models keep handing you the existing literature instead of generating new science, and what the extracellular matrix has to do with whether your whole body is aging well. We close on the engineered enzymes he thinks will eventually re-sculpt the genome of every tissue in your body, my own follistatin gene therapy result, and the band he plays keyboards in with a humanoid robot lead singer.

Ian's got two bone-to-pick this week: a guy lifting in slides, and a CVS receipt that could legitimately double as a scarf. Kat's here to talk him down from both grievances, and once she does, they pivot to something actually important: why all the shiny AI everyone's losing their minds over still needs boring old networking underneath it. Here's the thing: you can't train a world-changing model without connecting thousands of GPUs, and you can't connect them without infrastructure. Ian and Kat break down exactly what Cisco's doing behind the scenes—the plumbing that lets hyperscalers actually scale their AI. Kat brings her MBA playbook (outcome-based partnerships, the whole deal), Ian keeps it real with the "networking is just invisible plumbing" bit, and honestly, they might've never sounded more like themselves. Turns out all the AI hype in the world doesn't matter if the pipes aren't working To check out those networking solutions Cisco has, click here: https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/solutions/small-business/networking/index.html#tabs-7edb32179e-item-d43da2dc1e-tab

In this week's Data Debrief, Kyle Winterbottom and Catherine Dowden-King recap the Future of Data, AI & BI Summit with Starburst, share Catherine's top tips for networking at data events, and debrief this week's main episode with Simon Turner, Chief Technology Officer at Foil AI — including the Welsh Water case study that brought his "autonomic business" concept to life.They also discuss:Why the Future of Data, AI & BI Summit's core theme was the gap between giving people AI tools and reimagining how a business actually operates.What "codified business knowledge" — the context layer — means for scaling AI from local productivity hacks to full agentic systems.Catherine's top tips for networking at data events: doing your homework, messaging speakers in advance, and finding natural pauses for small talk.Why leading with curiosity, rather than negativity, makes conversations easier to build on.Why giving yourself permission to step away from an event is as important as showing up to it.How Simon Turner's Welsh Water case study used agentic AI to cut through false alarms during this summer's drought.Why the "autonomic business" concept compares agentic AI to a heartbeat that speeds up without conscious thought.Why having access to AI tools is no longer a competitive advantage, now that everyone has them.The debate between focusing on a handful of core business metrics versus giving people room to experiment and discover new use cases by accident.Why the best AI use cases sometimes emerge locally, before being scaled across a business.Why AI is making CVs look increasingly similar, and how outcomes-focused writing helps candidates stand out.Why intentionality — in networking and in career planning — matters more than ever in a fast-changing market.Why data and AI leaders should back the people already experimenting successfully with AI tools, not just the official roadmap.A preview of the "data dilemmas" segment returning for Driven by Data Live.

This week we talk about lobbying, renewables, and the NRA.We also discuss implied threats, midterm elections, and political action committees.Recommended Book: Sunward by William AlexanderTranscriptFor much of the late 20th century and the first few decades of the 21st, one of the most feared interest groups in US politics was the National Rifle Association, the NRA.Its power came from a large and politically engaged membership, a mailing list, a grading system that reduced complicated voting records to a letter, and a reputation for ending political careers over specific votes.Once it attained that reputation, the NRA didn't have to defeat every politician it disagreed with. Members of Congress only had to believe it could defeat them, and that belief shaped races in which the group spent nothing; politicians went out of their way not to anger the NRA. Money can buy an advertisement or a meeting. What tends to change a vote is the expectation that one choice will be rewarded and another will carry consequences.The NRA's influence has declined following internal scandals, financial trouble, and the growth of well-funded gun-control groups. But its model remains potent: pick a few visible fights, and allow your reputation to do a lot of the work for you, in the future.In 2010, the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, alongside a related appeals-court ruling later that year, helped create the modern super PAC: a political committee that can raise and spend unlimited sums advocating for or against candidates, so long as it does not coordinate that spending with their campaigns.This did not eliminate the effort and resources required to build influence, but it meant a few wealthy donors, a competent team, and some carefully selected races could establish a reputation in months rather than decades.In 2026, solar, wind, and batteries are projected to account for about 93% of new utility-scale electrical generating capacity added in the United States.That doesn't mean they provide 93% of the country's electricity—natural gas remains the largest source in the US—but these technologies are now the overwhelming majority of what the industry is building.Despite that growth, in 2025 Congress passed a law that sharply rolled back federal support for much of the clean-energy industry, and most of the politicians who voted for those rollbacks appeared to suffer no political consequences for doing so.What I'd like to talk about today is the effort to build a feared clean-energy lobby, how it has influenced a series of Republican primaries, and what its early successes do and do not tell us about the role of money in American politics.—The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or OBBBA, was signed into law on July 4, 2025.For wind and solar projects, the new law generally ended production and investment tax credits for facilities placed in service after December 31, 2027, unless construction began within twelve months of the bill's enactment.That twelve-month window closed in July of 2026, and a subsequent executive order directed the Treasury Department to adopt a stricter definition of when construction actually begins, further clamping down on entities hoping to benefit from those now-defunct credits.Tax credits for electric vehicles and residential efficiency upgrades ended in 2025, while support for clean hydrogen was curtailed. Other technologies, including batteries, nuclear power, and geothermal energy, were treated differently, so it would be misleading to say the law eliminated every federal clean-energy incentive, though it did severely curtail a lot of renewables-oriented industries and construction in the US.Republicans have generally been more supportive of fossil-fuel production and more hostile to federal wind and solar subsidies, while Democrats have generally taken the opposite position. There are important regional exceptions, especially among Republicans whose districts have attracted manufacturing plants, wind farms, and other energy investments. Several Republican lawmakers have even written letters asking party leaders to preserve some of the credits, in part because projects and jobs in their districts depended on them. When the final vote arrived, though, nearly all congressional Republicans voted for the bill.Tom Matzzie, the founder of the retail electricity company CleanChoice Energy, previously worked for Democratic campaigns and served as the Washington director of the progressive organization MoveOn.org, so he was familiar with electoral campaigning as well as the energy industry. In the wake of the passing of the OBBBA, he posed a question to Canary Media, possibly alluding to the success of political interest groups like the NRA when he said, “Are we someone that people can hurt without consequences?”Matzzie recruited Chris Larsen, the billionaire co-founder of the blockchain company Ripple and an investor in clean energy, and Michael Brune, the former executive director of the Sierra Club, and together they formed the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition, or ITC, an acronym that also evokes the investment tax credit the group was organized, in part, to defend.Federal Election Commission records show that the coalition raised about $6.8 million during the first half of 2026. Larsen provided $6 million, while the organizers said they had assembled commitments of around $20 million and hoped to spend as much as $30 million during the election cycle. Matzzie called the group's candidate-targeting spreadsheet the “Revenge Tour Matrix,” which is an unusually candid name for a political document.The group's most interesting strategic decision, though, is arguably that its advertisements generally did not mention clean energy.When ITC opposed Texas Representative Chip Roy in the Republican runoff for state attorney general, its ads questioned Roy's loyalty to President Trump. When it opposed Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles, it created a website called Lyin' Andy that focused on his missed votes and a federal investigation into his campaign-finance reporting.The coalition openly identified its reason for entering these races, but its advertisements used whatever campaign research suggested would move primary voters, not what its donors wanted them to think about solar panels.This approach was especially well suited to Republican primaries, where relatively small electorates can be reached through a concentrated group of conservative television, social-media, and streaming outlets.In Ogles' race, for instance, the two campaigns had each spent roughly $600,000, while ITC spent around $2 million attacking Ogles and introducing voters to his challenger, Charlie Hatcher.The coalition describes its record so far as five wins in five races.In May, Roy lost the Texas attorney-general runoff by 10.4 percentage points.In June, Iowa Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a Republican who had defended renewable-energy interests in Congress, survived her primary with help from ITC, including a $125,000 contribution.Later that month, South Carolina Representative Ralph Norman finished a distant third in the Republican primary for governor after the coalition opposed him.In August, Ogles lost his primary by more than six points despite an endorsement from Trump and more than $700,000 from the House Freedom Caucus' political fund.And in late August, Norman lost a second race, this time a Republican Senate primary, to Darline Graham, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. ITC spent about $1 million in that contest, which Norman lost by five points.The reactions from Norman and Ogles were almost as useful to the group as the election results.Norman blamed outside political spending in his concession speech, while Ogles, before his loss, said the coalition was attempting to make an example of him and that could have a chilling effect on other conservatives in Congress.Those statements do not prove ITC caused either defeat. But they do advertise the consequence the organization wants other politicians to anticipate; come after clean energy investment and they'll come after you.This strategy is notable because it separates political deterrence from public persuasion.It does not need Republican primary voters to become enthusiastic about solar tax credits. It just needs politicians to believe that aggressively attacking solar companies could make their next primary more difficult.The ads questioning Roy's loyalty to Trump are probably the clearest version of this distinction. The message voters received and the policy outcome the donors wanted were almost entirely unrelated, and that was intentional.It's worth mentioning here that the power of a wealthy individual to shape a low-turnout primary does not become less concerning because the spending supports a technology someone likes. The same rules are available to fossil-fuel companies, cryptocurrency investors, labor unions, and ideological groups of all kinds.That said, Ogles entered his primary with several liabilities unrelated to energy policy, including controversial public comments, questions about his finances, and a district whose boundaries had changed. Darline Graham had Trump's support in her race against Norman.In Texas, the coalition's roughly $1.7 million in spending was substantial, but the winning campaign spent nearly $25 million and Roy's campaign spent around $12 million. Roy dismissed the coalition's influence and said he would take the same positions again.Matzzie's response to all this is, more or less, that proof of causation is unnecessary: if lawmakers believe the coalition can hurt them, the deterrent works.That may be true, but it makes the group's claim difficult to test. The measurable outcome is that five races ended the way the group preferred, but it's currently unknown, and maybe unknowable, how much responsibility the group can claim for those victories.An analysis highlighted by Yale Climate Connections estimated that fossil-fuel interests spent about $219 million supporting candidates in the 2024 election cycle, with roughly 88% of that spending benefiting Republicans. The oil and gas industry also spent more than $150 million lobbying the federal government that year.What the coalition may have demonstrated is that a relatively modest sum, precisely applied in low-turnout elections with inexpensive media markets, can attract attention far beyond the size of the investment. That is as much a finding about the vulnerability of primary elections as it is about the political strength of clean energy.Now all that said, the renewable energy industry itself is divided over whether this is a useful approach.Tim Pawlenty, the former Republican governor of Minnesota who now leads the Solar Energy Industries Association, has said his organization's job is to make more friends rather than more enemies—an arguably rational position for a trade group that needs access to both parties.Steve McBee, meanwhile, launched an organization called Amped to encourage clean-energy professionals to engage more visibly in politics, arguing that a major infrastructure industry, and one that's growing in scale by the year, still behaves as if it were a marginal alternative, and that needs to change.These approaches can of course coexist, but there is a tension between building a coalition and threatening to make an example of anyone who doesn't fall into line, and each tactic can make the other more difficult.The coalition's first announced Democratic target was Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee, who blamed some of the state's electricity-price problems on clean-energy policies and proposed delaying its renewable-energy target while reducing funding for efficiency programs.ITC committed about $500,000 to oppose him in the September 9 primary. Targeting a Democrat helps establish that it is enforcing an industry position rather than functioning as another Democratic-aligned group. And that investment may have paid off: former CVS executive Helena Foulkes beat McKee on September 9's runoff, with around 62% to McKee's 38%—not even close.This wasn't a clean experiment, though. McKee was already trailing Foulkes by a wide margin, and his standing had been damaged by controversies unrelated to energy, including the prolonged closure of a major bridge.The next test will be whether the approach works outside primaries. General elections have larger, less ideologically uniform electorates, more expensive advertising, and more competing messages. Matzzie has not offered much detail about the coalition's plans, and a tactic that works in a small primary may not scale in November.The midterm elections on November 3 will clarify what this produces at the federal level, but deterrence and legislation are different things. Roy and Norman were running for offices outside the House, while Hatcher was not a wind-and-solar champion. Replacing an outspoken opponent may help the industry, but it does not produce the votes required to restore a tax credit.The protected begin-construction window for many wind and solar projects closed in July, and the placed-in-service deadline arrives at the end of 2027. Congress could change those dates, but doing so would require legislation that can pass both chambers and receive a presidential signature; a different electoral environment could make that more plausible, but would not make it automatic.There's also a risk that a campaign built around retaliation will make clean energy more firmly associated with one political party, even as the industry expands through many Republican districts and states.Targeting McKee complicates that interpretation, and supporting Miller-Meeks shows a willingness to reward a Republican ally. Still, most targets have been Republicans because most recent federal opposition to wind and solar support has come from Republicans.That is a current political fact, but it's not necessarily a permanent alignment. And clean energy companies would no doubt love to get both parties on side, rather than contributing to a further divide, in which one party forever opposes the sorts of projects they're trying to support.Thinking back to previous examples of how these sorts of things have played out, the NRA's influence was never just a function of how much it spent. It came from a reputation, constructed one race at a time, that even influenced politicians who never personally faced its advertisements and spending.The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition is attempting to compress that process into a single election cycle, using a campaign-finance tool that did not exist in its current form when the NRA first built its power.Five primaries in, the outlines of that reputation are visible, but its ability to changes votes in Congress, survive a loss, and work with a broader electorate will tell us whether this is the beginning of a durable clean-energy lobby, or just an unusually effective run of well-selected races.Show Noteshttps://www.canarymedia.com/articles/politics/super-pac-crushing-clean-energy-foeshttps://www.canarymedia.com/articles/politics/clean-energy-super-pac-looks-to-take-down-a-democratic-governorhttps://insideclimatenews.org/news/29082026/super-pac-targets-conservatives-against-clean-energy/https://www.eenews.net/articles/emboldened-clean-energy-donors-eye-big-campaign-spending/https://newrepublic.com/post/214762/green-energy-group-pick-off-republican-candidateshttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-trump-ally-warns-super-pac-bankrolled-dem-billionaire-meddling-gop-primaryhttps://www.steptoe.com/en/news-publications/the-one-big-beautiful-bill-impact-on-the-iras-clean-energy-tax-credits.htmlhttps://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/2025-reconciliation-debate-one-big-beautiful-bill-act-energy-provisions/https://seia.org/research-resources/clean-energy-provisions-big-beautiful-bill/https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/chart-us-overwhelmingly-build-clean-powerhttps://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00936997/https://www.fec.gov/legal-resources/court-cases/speechnoworg-v-fec/https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/understanding-independent-expenditures/https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explainedhttps://yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/01/the-fossil-fuel-industry-spent-219-million-to-elect-the-new-u-s-government/https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/industries/summary?cycle=2024&id=e01https://www.amped.org/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/09/09/us/elections/results-rhode-island-governor-primary.html This is a public episode.

Is the resume dying — or is it just lying and on life support while AI agents pump out 11,000 fake-looking apps a minute. On this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, Joel and Chad sit down with Etan Bernstein of the Velocity Network Foundation, an HR lifer who wants to stop the whack-a-mole and put a chip in the talent system the way banks killed mag-stripe fraud. Self-reported CVs, ghost jobs, North Korean bots, and vendors who get paid for the chaos all get roasted. Etan's pitch: one open protocol, worker-owned credentials, and trust at the source instead of another detector. If you're still screening slop with more slop, this one's going to sting.

Teacher besties, buckle up for this one, because Molly got scammed (and I mean SCAMMED) out of a shocking amount of cash in one of the most diabolical phone scams I've ever heard. We're talking a fake sheriff's department, a fake warrant for her arrest, and four and a half hours of driving between Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart. Molly walks us through the entire unhinged saga blow by blow, and hopefully we can all learn something from this to protect ourselves from potential future scams.  After that, we get into something a little less terrifying and a lot more annoying: the absolutely wild hate comments we got on a video about men telling female teachers, "I wish I was your student." We break down why that phrase is creepy, not flattering, why some men got so defensive about being called out, and what actually impresses a teacher. Takeaways: Molly lost a significant amount of cash to an elaborate phone scam involving a fake sheriff, a fake arrest warrant, and repeated cash deposits at multiple stores. Scammers used psychological pressure tactics, like threatening a felony charge for talking to anyone and speaking with firm authority, to keep Molly isolated and compliant during the call. A Google search of "paying a warrant over the phone" immediately flagged it as a common scam, which is what finally ended the call. Comments telling female teachers "I wish I was your student" cross a line because they sexualize a profession that works with children, regardless of intent. The most effective way to compliment a teacher is genuine admiration and curiosity about their work, not sexualized comments tied to their job. -- Knoword is an online tool for creating fun vocabulary games.

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/506 In this episode, you'll discover three things I've been asked about constantly: whether the melatonin heart failure headline is worth worrying about, how much sleep is actually too much or too little, and the shortest route to a higher VO2 max. I break down what the melatonin study did and did not reveal, why a key prescription detail changes how the findings should be interpreted, and why I still use high-dose melatonin for jet lag. Then I move to VO2 max, including the Norwegian 4x4 explained the way I used to coach it, what the sprint interval research says about doing it faster, and the tools that work beyond exercise, from heat acclimation to altitude to correcting an iron deficiency. You'll also hear what a new Nature study of half a million people found about the 6.4 to 7.8 hour sleep window, and why I still sleep less than that on purpose. Finally, fertility for men and women. On the male side, scrotal temperature, timing intercourse around ovulation, the lubricant problem nobody mentions, and the supplements with real human data behind them, from L-carnitine and CoQ10 to zinc and shilajit (use code GREENFIELD for free shipping).

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/gutsolution In this episode, you'll meet Josh Dech, a former paramedic turned Crohn's and colitis consultant who argues that all three things Western medicine says about inflammatory bowel disease are wrong: it's not genetic, not classically autoimmune, and not idiopathic. We walk the research trail from a 1988 Swedish twin study through the NOD2 gene to the genome-wide studies that mapped hundreds of risk loci and still explained only a sliver of the disease, and into the numbers that worry him most, where the West has 6% of the world's population but 60% of its bowel disease. You'll also get the practical half: his sequence to help stop the active cause first, then how he suggests opening the seven drainage pathways, why he takes a full history before ordering a single test, where peptides belong, what is really coming out of people during a parasite cleanse, and why $30,000 fecal transplants keep failing. Near the end, it turns personal and a little gross, into my own dairy problem and the biomechanics of a proper bowel movement.

A bad hire costs a small business close to £14,000. Yet when recruitment goes wrong, business owners rarely blame technology. Instead, they blame rushed decisions, poor judgement, and a sudden flood of generic, AI-generated applications. So, does A.I. actually improve recruitment, or does it just make the same hiring mistakes faster? In this LIVE Thursday episode, hosts Al Elliott and Leanne Elliott sit down with assessment science experts Kate Young and Ben Hawkes, co-founders of The Hiring Science Studio. Together, they break down how small businesses can safely navigate AI in hiring, spot hidden algorithmic bias, and protect their bottom line. What We Cover The Real Cost of Bad Hires Why small business owners rush interviews and end up paying the ultimate financial price. The AI Application Flood How candidates use ChatGPT to polish CVs, and what business owners should actually screen for instead. Where AI Earns Its Place Sensible, low-risk uses of AI that save time without sacrificing human quality. 5 To-Dos & 3 To-Never-Dos The ultimate rules for using AI in small business recruitment.

“Only about 7% of healthcare data is available to the frontier models,” says Kyle Armbrester, CEO of Datavant. He joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jonathan Palmer to discuss why healthcare’s AI opportunity starts with solving its fragmented-data problem. Armbrester explains Datavant’s role connecting providers, payers, life sciences, legal and insurance customers; why scale and tokenization are critical to linking data securely; and how the company is moving beyond records and dashboards toward AI-powered finished products. He also reflects on lessons from Athenahealth, Signify Health and CVS, Datavant’s acquisition strategy and the company’s ambitions as it considers a potential public-market future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kickstarter rejected her product, but she built the same product into a million-dollar brand.

In this episode, Bradley Sutton speaks with Kate Bray, founder of Reb Relief, about the unconventional journey that led her from Amazon advertising and agency leadership to creating a product inspired by her postpartum experience. After building and testing her own prototype, Kate posted a seven-second TikTok video that went viral and a second video helped her collect approximately 1,500 email sign-ups before producing a single unit. Her launch nearly collapsed when Kickstarter rejected the product just three days before the campaign was scheduled to begin. Instead of walking away, Kate turned the rejection into a powerful marketing hook and moved the launch to Shopify. Through preorders, a local credit-union loan, and investments from strategic advisors, she raised enough to fund a $60,000 initial purchase order. Despite spending most of her career in the Amazon ecosystem, Kate has yet to launch Reb Relief on Amazon because the brand has remained consistently sold out through Shopify. Kate also reveals the strategies behind the company's rapid growth. She invested early in a utility patent and professional product development, positioned Reb Relief inside an underserved blue-ocean category, and used the taboo surrounding period pain as a marketing advantage. Founder-led videos continue to outperform traditional user-generated content, while an appearance on *The Drew Barrymore Show* created stronger results when repurposed as credibility-building creative in Meta ads. She also uses Helium 10 to study keyword demand, validate new product ideas, and determine which brand extensions offer the greatest potential. After surpassing $1 million in sales and helping approximately 14,000 customers, Kate is now preparing Reb Relief for its next chapter: brick-and-mortar retail. Her goal is to see the brand carried by major retailers such as Target, CVS, or Walmart and eventually become the defining name in its category. Her story is a reminder that meaningful businesses are not built by avoiding failure; they are built by turning rejection, uncertainty, and overlooked problems into opportunities worth pursuing.

A hung jury hands Lindsay Clancy eleven votes to acquit and one lone holdout, on a defense theory that boils down to women being too hormonal to be held responsible for premeditated murder. David and Brad walk through the Google searches, the CVS alibi, and the exercise bands, then turn to the crowd in pink shorts who raised over a million dollars to cheer on a woman who strangled her own children one at a time. If hormones are dangerous enough to excuse that, the guys want to know why the same crowd is so eager to hand them to kids. Also, Neil Diamond may now be a hologram.

A woman doesn't call someone back if she's being controlled by a voice in her head. That's the argument prosecutors made to a Plymouth County jury weighing whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children.  Twenty minutes. That's how long Clancy was alone with Cora, Dawson, and Callan while her husband Patrick ran to CVS and picked up Thai food. ADA Jennifer Sprague told jurors Clancy chose the basement, chose strangulation with exercise bands, and repeated it three times — then missed a call, phoned back, held a conversation, and hung up. Prosecutors say that isn't what a puppet does.  The defense says it's exactly what happens once a hallucination has already finished its work. Clancy described a male voice that appeared once, on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, and told her this was her last chance. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes. It stopped the second her children were dead. Defense experts Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both testified she had no appreciation that what she was doing was wrong. Resnick, who evaluated Andrea Yates after her own children's deaths, used the word puppet too — just aimed the other direction.  The prosecution's forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff pushed back hard on the timing, calling a hallucination that vanishes the instant the act is done clinically unusual. Defense attorney Reddington countered in closing with a different number: thirteen psychiatric medications, prescribed by providers who never spoke to one another.  Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was inside that Plymouth courtroom. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has her own read on the evidence. Tony Brueski brings both of them together as the jury weighs a case where two forensic teams looked at the same eighteen minutes and reached opposite conclusions. Links & Disclaimer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eighteen minutes of a voice nobody else ever heard. Twenty minutes alone with three children. Those two windows of time are the entire case against — and for — Lindsay Clancy, and a Plymouth County jury is now deciding which one actually explains what happened in that Duxbury basement.  Patrick Clancy left for CVS and Thai food. When he came back, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were gone. Prosecutors say Lindsay used exercise bands, used the basement, and did it three separate times — once for each child — before missing a phone call, calling back, and having a completely ordinary conversation. ADA Jennifer Sprague argues that isn't consistent with a woman who wasn't in control of herself, and told the jury exactly that in closing.  Lindsay told forensic evaluators otherwise. A male voice she'd never heard before appeared that January afternoon and told her this was her last chance. It lasted about eighteen minutes and disappeared the moment the children were dead. She says it hasn't come back. Defense psychiatrists Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both testified to postpartum psychosis and zero appreciation of wrongdoing — Resnick, notably, testified for Andrea Yates using nearly identical language decades ago. The state's own psychiatrist, Gregory Saathoff, told jurors that hallucinations don't usually clock out the second the act is finished.  Defense attorney Reddington's closing pointed somewhere else entirely: thirteen psychiatric medications, stacked on top of each other by providers who never once compared notes or coordinated Lindsay's care.  Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and defense attorney Bob Motta sit down with Tony Brueski to argue out both sides of a case where the forensic experts can't agree — and neither, this time, can the hosts. Links & Disclaimer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the months before her three children died, Lindsay Clancy was prescribed more than a dozen psychiatric medications, kept a journal tracking her symptoms, and told multiple doctors she was having intrusive thoughts about harming Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The defense says that history proves a medical system that failed her at every step. The prosecution says it proves the opposite — that a woman capable of documenting her own crisis and seeking help was fully aware of what she was doing. That argument came to a head over twenty minutes: prosecutors told the jury that Lindsay sent her husband Patrick to CVS and a Thai restaurant, then used that window to kill all three children in their Duxbury basement, timing a pickup order and a pharmacy run with a clear head. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries sat through all five weeks and more than eighty witnesses of this trial, close enough to watch the reaction of the nine mothers on the jury as both arguments were laid out. He tells Tony Brueski which side actually landed — whether the CVS timeline convinced the jury Lindsay was calculating, or whether the defense's point, that organized behavior and psychosis coexist every day in hospitals across the country, carried more weight with parents watching from the jury box. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twenty minutes. That's how long prosecutors say Lindsay Clancy had after sending her husband Patrick out for a CVS run and Thai takeout — and, they argued, exactly how long it took her to kill their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, in the basement of their Duxbury home. ADA Jennifer Sprague told the jury of nine mothers and three men that timing a pickup order, a pharmacy stop, and three separate acts inside one twenty-minute window proves calculation, not psychosis. The defense pushed back hard: organized behavior and psychosis coexist every day in hospitals across the country, and a woman can plan a takeout run while still being controlled by something she can't fight. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries watched it all unfold from inside the courtroom across five weeks and more than eighty witnesses — close enough to see the jury's reaction in real time and watch Lindsay's demeanor shift through the hardest testimony. He tells Tony Brueski which argument actually carried weight with the parents on that jury. The stakes were personal for millions watching: Lindsay had been prescribed more than a dozen psychiatric medications in the months before, documented her symptoms in a journal, and told multiple providers she was having intrusive thoughts about harming her children. The defense says the medical system failed her. The prosecution says reaching out for help proves she knew exactly what she was doing. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries spent five weeks and more than eighty witnesses inside the gallery at Lindsay Clancy's murder trial — close enough to watch her face change in real time, close enough to see what nine mothers sitting on that jury did when prosecutors described how each of her three children died. He joins Tony Brueski to describe what the broadcast cameras never captured: Patrick Clancy's family and Lindsay's own parents sitting feet apart in the same gallery for five straight weeks, the tension in the hallways during recess, and one specific moment when the entire room shifted at once. From there, Bob breaks down the prosecution's central argument — that Lindsay used a twenty-minute window, while Patrick was out for CVS and Thai takeout, to kill Cora, Dawson, and Callan with calculation, not confusion. The defense answered that organized behavior and psychosis coexist constantly in hospitals nationwide, pointing to Lindsay's documented history: more than a dozen psychiatric medications in the months before, a journal tracking her symptoms, and repeated warnings to her doctors that she was having intrusive thoughts about harming her children. Bob explains which version the jury seemed to believe, based on what he watched play out in real time from the seat next to her. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nine women and three men had to decide whether Lindsay Clancy chose to kill her children or whether her doctors broke her brain with medications. The prosecution held up a CVS receipt as proof of planning. The defense rattled off prescriptions one by one until the chart ran off the page. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta sat in the gallery for every day of it.Bob joins Tony Brueski for the full conversation covering all three parts of the interview. He starts with what the cameras missed — the grief in the gallery, the jury's reactions during the worst testimony, Lindsay's in-person appearance, and the moment the room shifted. He moves to the prosecution's strongest evidence: the twenty-minute window, the takeout timing, and ADA Jennifer Sprague's argument that Lindsay resented her life. He examines the defense's medication cascade and Kevin Reddington's closing.Bob closes with the question everyone is asking: what happens to Lindsay Clancy? She has been inside Tewksbury Hospital since 2023, paralyzed from the waist down. Andrea Yates has been committed for twenty years. Whether the verdict is guilty or not criminally responsible, Lindsay's life is inside a locked building. Bob explains the commitment process, the annual evaluations, and whether any realistic scenario involves her walking out.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The broadcast showed testimony. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries saw what the camera left out. The families sitting feet apart in the gallery. The jury's mothers breaking during the worst evidence. The energy during recesses. And the moment the entire room shifted.Bob joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part breakdown of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court. He starts with the courtroom experience the cameras could not transmit — what Lindsay looked like in person, how the gallery held up over five weeks, and what the jury's body language revealed. He moves to the prosecution's claim that a CVS run proves premeditation and the defense's argument that over a dozen medications destroyed Lindsay's brain. He addresses ADA Jennifer Sprague's argument that Lindsay resented her life and Kevin Reddington's response calling the prosecution's case repulsive.Bob closes with Lindsay's future. She has been locked inside Tewksbury Hospital since 2023, paralyzed from the waist down. Andrea Yates has been committed for over twenty years. Whether prison or a psychiatric facility, Lindsay's address is a locked building. Bob explains the commitment process, the annual evaluations, and whether any realistic path exists for her release.This is the trial from inside the room — the grief, the medications, and the question nobody in that gallery could answer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta sat inside Plymouth Superior Court for every day of Lindsay Clancy's five-week murder trial. He joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part conversation — the courtroom experience the cameras could not show, the prosecution's premeditation evidence versus the defense's medication argument, and what Lindsay's future holds regardless of the verdict.Bob describes what the room felt like during the worst testimony — the jury's nine mothers watching the prosecution describe how each child died, the families splitting the gallery, and the moment the energy shifted. He walks through ADA Jennifer Sprague's argument that the CVS run proves planning and Kevin Reddington's response that organized behavior and psychosis coexist every day.Lindsay was prescribed over a dozen psychiatric medications in months by providers who were not coordinating her care. She documented her symptoms. She sought help. The prosecution called it a cover story. The defense called it a system that destroyed a mother. Bob examines which argument landed in the room.He closes with the Andrea Yates precedent — twenty years committed — and what Lindsay's life inside Tewksbury Hospital looks like now. Paralyzed, medicated, locked in since 2023. The five verdict options the jury had for each child all lead to the same place: a locked building.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

CPG disruptors have entered just about every legacy category over the past few years in hopes of capturing bored consumers looking for more interesting everyday products.  We've seen this play out across dandruff shampoo, toothpaste and mouth wash, supplements, sunscreen, and, most recently, the allergy aisle.  “We did a ton of consumer work up front, probably too much, pulling research reports, data and our own survey of 600 consumers, and what we realized was that there is a huge experience and efficacy gap,” Loren Lucree, the CEO and founder of 9-month-old allergy-care brand Wizard Wellness, told Glossy. “[We found that] only 7% were loyal to their current solutions, which is bananas. … [The] lesson is nobody's writing love letters to Flonase or Zyrtec.”  Lucree is a beauty industry veteran formulator and executive. His CV includes Unilever and Estée Lauder brands. “One morning I woke up and told my poor husband, ‘I have to do this,' … because somebody else will do it if I don't,” Lucree said. “[I thought], ‘I have this amazing beauty network around me, and now's the time'.” Lucree secured $7 million in funding from True Beauty Ventures, G9 Ventures, Able Partners and The Venture Collective to launch Wizard Wellness via a DTC model in January. The brand is built on a beauty industry playbook, including cleaner ingredients, clear positioning, clinical testing, a dynamic OOH advertising funnel and social-first marketing. Now, just nine months post-launch, Wizard Wellness has entered CVS, Walmart and, as of Monday, Target stores.  Glossy West Coast correspondent Lexy Lebsack sat down with Lucree to learn firsthand how he took on allergy incumbents and what it'll take to become a leader in the space.

The prosecution's case for premeditation depended on proving Lindsay Clancy was clear-headed when she killed her three children on January 24, 2023. Their strongest evidence: she sent Patrick to CVS and a Thai restaurant, creating a twenty-minute window. ADA Jennifer Sprague argued that a woman being controlled by a hallucinated voice cannot plan a pickup order, time a pharmacy trip, and carry out three separate acts in that span.The defense called that argument a misunderstanding of psychosis. Kevin Reddington told the jury that organized behavior and psychiatric crisis coexist every day in every hospital in the country. He showed the jury a chart of Lindsay's prescriptions — over a dozen psychiatric medications prescribed by providers who were not coordinating her care. He showed her journal entries from December 2022, one month before the killings, where her handwriting had deteriorated into scrawl.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was in the courtroom for both arguments. He joins Tony Brueski to examine which version the parents on the jury appeared to believe. Bob walks through the medication evidence, Lindsay's documented attempts to seek help, and the prosecution's argument that reaching for treatment proves she understood what was happening — not that she was sick.Lindsay told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts about harming her children. She checked herself into two hospitals. She was prescribed medication after medication. The prosecution called it a cover story. The defense called it a system that destroyed her.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A jury can't decide what to do about a woman who killed her three kids, so the women of TikTok have solved it for them: it was the husband, because husbands don't go to CVS. And given the Pluto placement that day, no Leo would have done this. It defies the science of all astrology.Also in this one: Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America and somebody's getting rich printing the new maps. The Venezuela oil deal broken down as what it really is — a headline with no article attached — including the $80/barrel break-even, the $100 billion buildout, and the five-to-seven years before any of it reaches the market, set against the $150 billion already spent on Iran. The Supreme Court greenlights the ballroom without ruling on whether it was legal, because the wrong person asked. Massie's second attempt at the Epstein files. A Fauci email that was supposed to be deleted twice. And a full Tales From The Flock: felony charges over a fake camera, drones over the Flock convention, Hawley's investigation, and the Officer of the Year whose award didn't survive his ex-girlfriend.Live porch shows: porchstore.comMerch: robbernsteinmerch.comPaywalled after-show, $5/mo: robbernsteincomedy.com

Lindsay Clancy sent Patrick to pick up dinner and a prescription from CVS. The prosecution called the timing deliberate — she created a twenty-minute window and used every second of it. She brought each of her three children to the basement and strangled them with exercise bands. The state argued that level of organized behavior is incompatible with psychosis.The defense argued the opposite. Kevin Reddington told the jury that mothers in psychiatric crisis manage routines every day. They order food, pick up prescriptions, care for children, and hold conversations — all while their brains are in freefall. Organized behavior does not rule out psychosis. Hospitals see it constantly.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was inside Plymouth Superior Court for the full trial. He joins Tony Brueski to evaluate the prosecution's strongest evidence of premeditation — the CVS run, the phone call Lindsay made after the killings, and the state's three rebuttal experts who testified she was not psychotic. Bob also examines the defense's medication cascade: over a dozen prescriptions in months from providers who were not coordinating her care.Lindsay documented her symptoms. She sought help repeatedly. She told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts about harming her children. The prosecution used that treatment history against her. Bob explains how both arguments played in the room.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I'll walk you through my full-body MRI results, which show significant degeneration from L1 to S1, and explain why I still have almost zero back pain, from Dr. Stuart McGill's Big 3 to inversion hanging, the couch stretch, the founder stretch from Foundation Training, and my WALKOLUTION® treadmill desk ($100 off, enter your email for a unique code). You'll also learn why running was the only activity linked to healthier spinal discs in a study of more than 4,000 people, and why none of the sports people assume are hard on your back showed harm. Finally, you'll hear what a coronary CT angiography measures that your cholesterol panel cannot, why a 6,061-person study found plaque volume beats any standard risk calculator, what my own scan revealed, and the surprisingly simple thing that appears highly protective even when your plaque is already elevated.

Ginny Yurich sits down with Active Skin Repair founder Justin Gardner to talk about the surprisingly simple product that has become a go-to in the Yurich household for the inevitable cuts, scrapes, bug bites, burns, and skin irritations that come with an active childhood. Justin explains the science behind hypochlorous acid—a molecule naturally produced by the body's immune system—and how he helped bring a medical-grade version of the technology from hospitals into everyday family life. They explore why formulation matters, how Active Skin Repair can replace a cabinet full of single-use products, and why its non-stinging, scent-free approach has resonated especially strongly with parents looking for simpler, cleaner options. Justin also shares the entrepreneurial journey behind growing the company from personally mailing its first orders to serving more than a million customers and landing on shelves in every CVS. Plus, hear about the company's expansion into hydration products and mineral sunscreens, the grit required to build a category-defining brand, and why sometimes the best products for getting kids outside are the ones that make parents a little less worried about what happens when they get there.
