What happens when enterprise AI moves faster than the data foundations meant to support it? That question guided my conversation with Sumit Mehra, CTO and Co-Founder of Tredence, who joined me while travelling between customer meetings on the US West Coast. Sumit has a clear view of what is coming next, and he believes we are entering a phase he calls data Darwinism.  In his view, the next stage of AI advantage will not be won by the companies with the most models or the flashiest demos, but by those with the strongest data habits. Clean, governed, connected data is now the primary fuel for autonomous decision systems, and the enterprises that fail to address this will struggle to move past surface level gains. As we unpacked this shift, it became obvious how much of the real work in AI has only just begun. Over the years, Tredence built a reputation for solving the last mile of analytics by bringing insights out of slide decks and into the hands of the people doing the work. Sumit described that early chapter with a sense of pride, but he was quick to point out that another transition is already here. With agents now influencing and making decisions across supply chains, forecasting, and customer experience, enterprises are moving from reviewing insights to reviewing decisions. That shift demands stronger data platforms, tighter governance, and a cultural adjustment that many organisations are still wrestling with. Sumit spoke openly about how teams need support to trust agent driven outcomes, and how the leadership layer plays a major role in closing the long standing divide between business and technical groups. Our discussion also moved into the rise of real time decision systems, the move toward unified data platforms, and how vertical AI is reshaping expectations inside industries that rely on precision. Whether it was supply chain visibility, marketing personalisation, or the growing need for credible governance models, Sumit emphasised that organisations can no longer rely on siloed data or fragmented strategies. As Tredence expands deeper into regulated industries through its acquisition of Further Advisory, the work ahead touches everything from finance to healthcare. It left me thinking about how ready most companies truly are for this next phase, where every agent is only as reliable as the data beneath it. Where do you stand on data Darwinism, and how prepared do you think your own organisation is for what comes next?

In Episode 6.2 of The CEO Podcast limited-run reboot series, Leadership at the Crossroads, hosts Vince Moiso and Scott De Long, Ph.D., examine the resurgence of the command-and-control leadership style in today's supercharged economic and political climate. They frame the issue as a common reaction to pressures such as inflation, tariffs, and AI disruption conditions that tempt even seasoned leaders to revert to top-down directives. Vince reflects on his personal evolution from a harddriving, authoritarian approach to a more principled, people-centered model influenced by Stoic philosophy (e.g., Ryan Holiday's work) and his experiences coaching youth sports. Scott underscores the drawbacks of command-and-control: while it can deliver short-term execution, it erodes culture, stifles development, and risks producing the next generation of jerk managers. They argue for data-informed, collaborative decision making that empowers people and sustains performance over time. Both acknowledge there are narrow circumstances where decisive command is warranted—true emergencies (fire in the building) or moments when time is genuinely of the essence. Even then, they recommend anchoring decisions in clear processes (e.g., routing major choices through a single function like finance), aligning actions with a shared vision, and practicing self-reflection; are you stressed, or is the business stressed? The episode closes with a call to choose what's best for the organization (us) over what's easiest for the leader (me). Key Takeaways Command-and-control can drive short-term results but damages culture and long-term performance. Use decisive top-down leadership sparingly—primarily for true emergencies or when time is critical. Sustainable leadership pairs clear processes and shared vision with empowerment, reflection, and data-informed decisions. Key Insights Economic/political pressure often triggers regression to top-down behaviors even in progressive cultures. Personal evolution as a leader may require unlearning early models (e.g., sports-style toughness coaching). Stoic practices (control your response, not external events) help leaders avoid reactive overreach. Command-and-control excels at speed and clarity, but undermines autonomy, development, and trust. Culture built on development (not just training) yields higher productivity, empowerment, and retention. Data-informed, collaborative decisions create buy-in and better execution across functions. Processes can prevent panic leadership (e.g., routing big decisions through finance or another gatekeeper). Leaders should ask: Is this choice better for me or better for us (the whole organization)? Self-check under pressure: Are you stressed personally, or is the business actually stressed? Revisit and align with a near-term vision (35 years) so decisions support strategic direction.

Donor love is measurable, and in this lively discussion, guest Lynne Wester, Principal and Founder of Donor Relations Group, brings the receipts. Drawing on data from her seventh global donor relations survey, conducted every two years since 2013 with more than 1,000 participants, Lynne shows us why retention, not the next big campaign, is where the real money is.Her core message is blunt and refreshing: we obsess over the ask even though it represents a tiny slice of our contact with supporters. As Lynne puts it, “Retention is the secret sauce of fundraising.” Most organizations still pour staff time and budget into events and tactics with weak ROI, while reporting that they are only able to share impact with less than 20 percent of their donors. That gap is not just operational; it is a revenue problem.The survey findings expose a pattern. Many donor relations teams sit under a mountain of tasks but lack a strategic plan, making them vulnerable to “seagulling” requests that fly in, drop work, and disappear. At the same time, donor relations professionals tend to stay in their roles four to nine years, while frontline fundraisers churn in about 16 months. The people who understand donor experience best often have the quietest internal voice, and Lynne's work is about giving them data to change that.She shares how longitudinal data helped the sector mostly abandon donor honor rolls: today, over 80 percent of nonprofits no longer produce donor lists that were costly and not meaningful. The survey is now pushing similar change around giving societies, the split between receipts and acknowledgements, and the use of AI. Lynne is candidly concerned that many organizations use AI tools without organizational policies, even as donor databases at major institutions have been compromised. For her, donor confidentiality and the Donor Bill of Rights demand guardrails before automation.Perhaps the most poignant remark is Lynne's insistence that gratitude and listening are not “extras” but performance drivers. Retaining a donor is five to seven times less expensive than acquiring a new one, and organizations that cared for donors as human beings during crises like the 2008 downturn and COVID raised twice as much as those that just kept asking. She argues that if a donor is not “worth a stamp,” the organization does not deserve the gift.Lynne leaves viewers with a challenge wrapped in encouragement: use data to question tradition, ask donors for their opinions, and treat stewardship as strategic fund management, not a courtesy. When you align technology, policies, and human connection around gratitude and impact, you are not just being nice—you are building a durable, scalable fundraising engine.#TheNonprofitShow #DonorRelations #FundraisingDataFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

 Is the future of natural gas actually brighter than we're being told? In this episode of the Jake & Gino podcast, Gino and Jake sit down with Jay Bhatty, founder and CEO of NetGasHub.com, to unpack how data, pipelines, and smart policy are reshaping the future of natural gas in a world obsessed with renewables, AI, and exploding energy demand.Jay explains why the U.S. is the “Saudi Arabia of natural gas” and how that advantage impacts manufacturing, data centers, and your wallet. He breaks down how traders use data from pipelines and price differentials to profit in the energy markets, and why physics—not politics—is often the real constraint on wind and solar. You'll learn how the future of natural gas fits into a balanced energy mix (coal, nuclear, solar, wind), why bright young talent is flocking to the intersection of energy and technology, and how investors can gain exposure to pure natural gas plays. Jay also shares his entrepreneur framework—why you should build “painkiller” businesses, how to spot real-world pain points, and why boring, cash-flowing companies may be the best opportunities of all.Connect with Jay Bhatty: NetGasHub.com • LinkedIn • Jay's book on AmazonChapters:00:00 – Introduction to the Energy Industry and Its Importance 02:55 – The Role of Data in Natural Gas Efficiency05:56 – Natural Gas vs. Renewable Energy Sources09:04 – The Future of Manufacturing and Natural Gas11:49 – Attracting Talent to the Energy Sector14:54 – Entrepreneurship Framework in the Energy Industry19:38 – Opportunities in Small Businesses20:56 – Exploring Natural Resources22:46 – The Future of Data Centers27:43 – The Energy Mix: Finding Balance30:03 – Investing in Energy Diversification31:36 – The Future of Energy: A Balanced Approach34:05 – Gino wraps it up  We're here to help create multifamily entrepreneurs...

An unprecedented slump in Chinese investment. That's what one media outlet called it. I don't think slump is the right word. Crash might be a more appropriate one. While that tends to be overused, the numbers show not in this case. Especially when they are backed up by a crash in household lending in China, too, as Chinese banks just put up more grim stats. And all of this confirmation of what I told you months ago, the something big has changed over there this summer. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Whether it's going racing or producing zero to sixty times, many car manufactures have spent decades doing whatever it takes to get a competitive edge on their performance figures. But in a world of democratized speed where your average EV truck or SUV can do an 11 second quarter mile, does anyone still value the numbers? And at what lengths will manufactures go to keep their performance figures competitive? === This episode of the Carmudgeon Show is sponsored by Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ === Before digging into the data, Jason discusses his recent trip to the Wednesday Night Drags at Sonoma Raceway - garnering some rather unusual attention in his MK3 Volkswagen Cabrio with the almighty 2.slow . Upon laying down several solid runs, he finds his mid 18 second quarter mile times are far more lethargic than what Volkswagen reported in period. This prompts the larger discussion at hand - historically speaking, do manufactures cheat or "optimize" their test data? Jason brings in his own previous findings, first by exploring the testing of his MK1 Volkswagen Scirocco, and wondering how his test figures could be more than a second off from the official numbers. More glaring however is the data from Jason's in-period testing of the Ferrari 458 Speciale and 458 Italia, as well as the 599 GTB - the likes of which far out-performed cars in magazine testing vs. cars that were delivered to real-world customers.

Guests: Alexander Pabst, Deputy Group CISO, Allianz Lars Koenig,  Global Head of D&R, Allianz  Topics:  Moving from traditional SIEM to an agentic SOC model, especially in a heavily regulated insurer, is a massive undertaking. What did the collaboration model with your vendor look like?  Agentic AI introduces a new layer of risk - that of unconstrained or unintended autonomous action. In the context of Allianz, how did you establish the governance framework for the SOC alert triage agents? Where did you draw the line between fully automated action and the mandatory "human-in-the-loop" for investigation or response? Agentic triage is only as good as the data it analyzes. From your perspective, what were the biggest challenges - and wins - in ensuring the data fidelity, freshness, and completeness in your SIEM to fuel reliable agent decisions? We've been talking about SOC automation for years, but this agentic wave feels different. As a deputy CISO, what was your primary, non-negotiable goal for the agent? Was it purely Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) reduction, or was the bigger strategic prize to fundamentally re-skill and uplevel your Tier 2/3 analysts by removing the low-value alert noise? As you built this out, were there any surprises along the way that left you shaking your head or laughing at the unexpected AI behaviors? We felt a major lack of proof - Anton kept asking for pudding - that any of the agentic SOC vendors we saw at RSA had actually achieved anything beyond hype!

It's a bummer, man, all this warping and what it's doing to the space-time continuum. But of course let's not talk about it too much because we've got some extremely important cat content to handle first. Geordi ain't a cat person, and Data can't train the cat very well by asking Spot to get down. There's a Ferengi who may have disabled a Federation ship, but actually it's two terrorist siblings doing that in the warp corridor. Serova is so convinced the warping is destroying their planet, that she is willing to put her life on the line. That rattles the crew, Geordi, and has implications for the rest of the franchise.

Systems should make life easier, not more complicated. That idea runs through our conversation with technology strategist “VPN,” whose journey from SAP in India to the UN in Geneva to advising global institutions shaped a simple practice: start with the problem, then use data and AI to serve people with clarity and care.We dig into what most teams get wrong about data—confusing volume with insight and falling into confirmation bias. Instead of chasing clever dashboards, we map a workflow where hypotheses are tested, methods are transparent, and systems explain themselves in plain language. The result is trust. And trust is what unlocks adoption, the critical moment when data actually changes a decision. From HR policy Q&A to legal discovery, we show how AI can strip away repetitive labor so humans focus on context, tradeoffs, and fairness.Designing for the public means building for real settings: clinics with noise, fields with poor connectivity, and city services that must be accessible, secure, and easy to use. We explore digital twins, predictive maintenance, and crowdsourced reporting—and why each only works when the loop closes and action is visible. Along the way, we share a framework for people-first AI strategy: educate users, co-design with business owners, choose use cases where automation is safe and useful, and require explainability where stakes are high. The through line is constant: human judgment at the end of the loop, with AI as the force multiplier.If you care about ethical AI, public sector innovation, and data that leads to better outcomes—not just faster reports—you'll find practical steps you can apply today. Subscribe, share with a colleague who wrangles dashboards for a living, and leave a review with one question you want AI to help your community answer next.Send us a textCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

Roundhill Investments' Dave Mazza offers a wide perspective on the market moves seen over the last week. He believes investors in high-flying stocks tied to A.I., quantum, and nuclear are reassessing the current economic environment and taking chips off the table until there's more clarity. That said, Dave says "under the radar" plays have seen huge upswings, pointing to healthcare stocks as beneficiaries. He later looks ahead to Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings later this week. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Today's @CharlesSchwab Big Picture panel turns to the slew of economic data that will trickle into markets now that the U.S. government has reopened. Kathy Jones makes the case that the September jobs report expected Thursday will see heavy revisions due to the risk of it already being outdated. She also explains how "too high" inflation doesn't give the FOMC "room to run" for a December interest rate cut. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Lucinda speaks with data protection expert Sarah Hodgkin-Bates about the critical overlap between HR and compliance, specifically regarding the handling of employee personal data.  They examine the importance of setting a company culture of transparency and cooperation by properly managing data protection, and discuss the legal frameworks governing data (GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018), how to manage access to different types of employee records (e.g., payroll vs. disciplinary), and the challenges organisations face with complex areas like Subject Access Requests (SARs) and the proper retention of sensitive data. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being transparent about how employee data is used, often via separate employee privacy notices, builds a positive, co-operative company culture and a better employee brand. A core principle of data protection is to minimise access. Access should only be given to individuals who strictly need it for their job or role (e.g., payroll staff, but not the whole accounts team). Subject Access Requests (SARs) are often raised during complaints to create stress. Organisations must have a clear procedure and recognise that a SAR must be fulfilled within one month, as failure to comply could lead to regulatory body involvement. Data protection classifies certain types of personal data (like protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 or biometric data from CCTV) as 'special category data,' requiring elevated security measures like encryption and limited access. BEST MOMENTS "If you get your data protection right, you are creating a spirit of transparency and cooperation." "A basic principle of data protection is to minimise access. So you would only give access to people that strictly need it for their job or role." "Subject Access Requests... are usually raised because someone has a complaint or a grievance and they're looking to gather evidence or to create stress and hassle." "If you are challenged by an employee, you must be able to give them an open and honest answer about how you're using your data and why you're using it."

The future of AI may be decided in backyards. Data Centers—the sprawling facilities designed to support the massive computing required to train and run AI models—are being built across the country. One estimate sees more than $1 trillion dollars in capital spending on data centers in the next four years. And they use electricity—a lot of it. While data centers can bring construction jobs,  tax revenue, and economic development to their communities, they also bring complaints about power and water usage, noise pollution, and architectural blight.Debates are raging from town halls to the halls of Congress. Yes, politicians want the US to lead the world in AI, but elected officials, particularly local ones, are hearing from constituents concerned about data centers, including the potential to raise electric bills. The decisions being made right now in places like Northern Virginia, Umatilla, Oregon, and Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, will determine whether AI infrastructure is scaled quickly, or whether a backlash slows it down. If done right, data centers can bring world-class tech capabilities, lower electricity prices, energy abundance, and local tax revenue. Done poorly, we see working class Americans paying more for power, the electric grid struggling, and the potential for the American public to turn sour on data canters en masse.So what do people need to know about data centers to make informed decisions? What really is the impact of data centers on water and electricity? What should policymakers in Washington do, if anything, about these debates? And are there ways to balance legitimate local concerns without hamstringing a strategic imperative?Evan is joined by Asad Ramzanali, Director of Artificial Intelligence & Technology Policy at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator. He was previously Chief of Staff at the White House Office of Science and Tech Policy under President Biden and Legislative Director to former Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA). You can read his recent op-ed on data centers here. Evan is also joined by Daniel King, Research Fellow at FAI where he focuses on the energy and security dimensions of artificial intelligence. Daniel completed Master's studies in Statistics & Data Science at Yale University and earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from Brown University.

Who actually owns data protection in a nonprofit? In this fast-paced conversation, host Julia C. Patrick sits down with Taysha Adams, Manager Technology Support at JMT Consulting, and Josh Fricovsky, Engineering Director at Cortavo, to tackle the uncomfortable truth: cybersecurity is no longer “someone else's job.”Taysha starts with a reality check: most vulnerabilities don't begin in a server room. They start with everyday behavior. From checking work email on public Wi-Fi to logging in on a friend's device, casual habits open doors to attackers. As she explains, “Everybody's responsible for data security and protection… most vulnerabilities do come in from the end users.” JMT has spent more than a year realigning internal processes, tightening device controls, and partnering with Cortavo so their own team—and their clients—are better shielded.Josh builds on that by showing how fast the threat landscape is evolving. Cortavo's job as a managed service provider is to sit on the “bleeding edge”: endpoint protection, email security, MFA, VPNs, and now mobile device management for a workforce that increasingly works on the move. He notes that “the cost of inaction is going to be 10 to 100 times more than” the investment in proactive security. It's not just about tools; it's about culture, education, and leadership setting the tone.The conversation then moves to the devices we use every day. Laptops, tablets, and phones are cheaper and more plentiful than ever, but every extra device is another front door. The guests stress that nonprofits need clear policies for using personal phones for work, along with mobile device management to protect company data without “controlling” the phone itself.AI takes the discussion to another level. Both guests are enthusiastic users, but they warn that unregulated use is dangerous. Taysha urges organizations to set guardrails and favor licensed or enterprise tools so prompts, donor details, and templates aren't quietly training public models. Josh goes further, recommending offline or private LLMs for sensitive data and pointing out that attackers are already using AI for sophisticated social engineering, including voice cloning and real-time credential theft.Finally, the trio frames cybersecurity as a governance and financial issue, not just an IT problem. Data loss can mean lost clients, destroyed reputation, and even the end of an organization. Partnering with firms like JMT and Cortavo, building internal awareness, and treating security like an essential protection policy—not a luxury—are presented as non-negotiable steps for modern nonprofits.This episode is a must-watch for executives, boards, and staff who touch data in any way—which is everyone.#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitCybersecurity #DataProtectionFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Long time lurker, first time poster - be nice please! :) I was searching for summary data of EA funding trends, but couldn't find anything more recent than Tyler's post from 2022. So I decided to update it. If this analysis is done properly anywhere, please let me know. The spreadsheet is here (some things might look weird due to importing from Excel to sheets) Observations EA grantmaking appears on a steady downward trend since 2022 / FTX. The squeeze on GH funding to support AI / other longtermist priorities appears to be really taking effect this year (though 2025 is a rough estimate and has significant uncertainty.) I am really interested in particular about the apparent drop in GW grants this year. I suspect that it is wrong or at least misleading - the metrics report suggests they are raising ~$300m p.a. from non OP donors. Not sure if I have made an error (missing direct to charity donations?) or if they are just sitting on funding with the ongoing USAID disruption. Methodology I compiled the latest grants databases from EA Funds, GiveWell, OpenPhilanthropy, and SFF. I added summary level data from ACE.

The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity.

COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

What happens when the data goes dark, yet markets barely flinch? In this episode, Niels and Katy unpack the month of October defined by missing economic releases, relentless equity strength and three extraordinary days of Liberation Day turbulence. They explore why price often tells the truest story, how total portfolio thinking could rewrite the role of trend, and why short term strategies faltered while precious metals surged. The conversation then shifts to the coming wave of alternatives in private wealth and the silent risk inside target date funds, asking how managed futures can reshape retirement outcomes when timing paths go wrong.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction and catching up from Boston02:00 - Life without economic data and what markets really need04:20 - Price as the only truth and the limits of official data05:45 - CalPERS, total portfolio thinking and what it means for trend08:20 - AI, data centers and the inflation story hiding in electricity10:30 - Inflation regimes, unstable prices and why trend cares about change12:40 - Year to date trend review across equities, metals, FX and bonds15:10 - Why short term traders struggled in a headline driven year20:00 - Picking “the best strategy” and why robustness matters more than Sharpe24:10 - Parameters, speed of response and treating markets differently26:20
