Today we're breaking down Databricks, a $130B private company that helps companies collect, store, and process very large amounts of data, and then use that data to run analytics and train machine learning models. Databricks sits in the middle of modern data systems, connecting raw data pipelines to the tools teams use to analyze information and build AI. If you've worked on large-scale data or AI projects, there's a good chance Databricks was part of the stack, often operating behind the scenes. My guest is Alan Tu, portfolio manager and analyst at WCM Investment Management, which invested in Databricks in late 2024. Alan explains what Databricks actually does for customers, why it remains one of the least understood large private software companies, and how its academic origins and founding team shaped its evolution from an early data-engineering product into a broad commercial platform. We also discuss common misconceptions about the business, how Databricks fits into the modern AI stack, what has changed since the last time we covered the company, and how its scale, product strategy, and capital position differentiate it from competitors. Note: This conversation was recorded on December 10, 2025, so all numbers are reflective of what was publicly available on that date. Please enjoy this breakdown of Databricks.

Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg analyzes the recent U.S. invasion of Venezuela, noting that while the event disrupted predictions, its global significance ultimately depends on the subsequent U.S. decisions regarding regime support and governance in Caracas. Turning to domestic politics, Sternberg predicts the 2026 midterms will be unusually significant as both parties face internal identity crises, with Democrats torn between centrist and socialist wings and Republicans struggling to define their future path as the Trump era eventually concludes.1900 Venezuela

How can AI actually help construction teams make better decisions (without adding complexity or losing the human element)? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd Weyandt sits down with Shelley Copsey, CEO of FYLD, to explore how AI-driven insights are transforming safety and decision-making in construction. Shelley shares how FYLD helps teams move beyond lagging indicators and manual reporting by turning frontline data into actionable intelligence, right when it matters most. The conversation dives into why predictive safety is the future of construction, how real-time insights empower workers instead of policing them, and what it takes to build trust when introducing AI on the jobsite. In this episode, you'll learn: How AI turns frontline construction data into real-time, actionable insights Why predictive safety beats reactive reporting every time How to introduce AI in a way that builds trust with field teams What “human-centered AI” really looks like in construction MEET OUR GUEST Shelley Copsey is co-founder and CEO of FYLD. In her role, she leads a scaling company empowering major infrastructure companies to drive highly efficient field workforce operations, driven by data and enabling each and every day's operations to be safely delivered to plan. She has over 25 years of experience in the intersection of physical infrastructure and digital technologies, as well as the human transformation required to deliver on the promise of emerging technologies. TODD TAKES Digital Powers Better Job Operations Technology isn't just about automating tasks—it's about creating smarter, safer, and more productive job sites. With real-time data, teams can anticipate risks, streamline workflows, and deliver higher quality outcomes without the traditional trade-off between speed, safety, and cost. Tech Supports, Not Replaces, People AI and digital platforms work best when they elevate the workforce, not replace it. Technology puts power in the hands of field teams, giving them visibility, communication, and support that strengthens trust and culture across the organization. From Blame to Lessons Learned Construction has often defaulted to a blame game when delays or incidents happen. But the real transformation happens when mistakes become learning opportunities. By capturing and analyzing data, companies can reframe setbacks into insights that improve planning, execution, and safety for the future.   More Resources Thanks for listening!

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered what it really takes to turn a dream into reality, and sustain it with grit and determination, you've got to hear this episode!  Maria is with the one and only Anastasia Soare, iconic founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and author of her new memoir Raising Brows, for an honest about leadership, discipline, health, and legacy. Anastasia is living proof that when you believe in yourself, you can be more powerful than the money, connections, or privilege you may or may not have. Anastasia opens up about immigrating to the U.S. as a single mom after escaping communist Romania in search of freedom, opportunity, and a better life… and how that journey shaped her unshakable mindset. She gets candid about the tough sacrifices and even tougher decisions that came with building her empire (including firing her own daughter from the company!), whether she would ever consider selling her billion-dollar brand, and the health non-negotiables that protect her mental and physical stamina. At its core, this conversation is a reminder how success comes from leading your life with discipline and intention. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS Choosing uncertainty over comfort: Anastasia made the life-altering decision to escape communist Romania, immigrate to the U.S. as a single mother, and bet on herself with no money, no language, and no safety net…prioritizing long-term vision over short-term security. Protecting her health while building success: Anastasia decided early on to manage her emotions, release past trauma, and refuse burnout as the cost of success, focusing on discipline, presence, and health non-negotiables so she could sustain both her empire and her well-being.

Interior designers often find themselves defending beautiful, well-considered ideas to hesitant clients. But what if that hesitation isn't resistance—it's biology? In this episode, Kimberley Seldon speaks with designer and BOD™ Member, Martha Lowry about neuro-aesthetics and how the brain responds to space long before logic or language catch up. This conversation reframes how designers understand client reactions, decision-making, and emotional buy-in. You'll learn why a room can be technically perfect and still feel “wrong,” how colour and materials trigger powerful subconscious responses, and why deeper, more thoughtful client questioning leads to smoother projects and fewer revisions. By understanding how memory, emotion, and lived experience influence perception, designers can reduce friction, build trust faster, and create interiors that feel as good as they look. What You'll Learn in this Episode: - Why clients respond emotionally to space before they can articulate preferences - How neuro-aesthetics explains hesitation, resistance, and indecision - Why “good design” doesn't always equal emotional comfort - How memory and lived experience shape reactions to colour and materials - The role of biophilia in creating calm, restorative interiors - How deeper client questioning builds trust and reduces revisions

Spending decisions aren't just financial—they reveal what, and whom, we value. That was the central insight Dr. Kelly Rush shared in today's conversation on Faith & Finance, where she unpacked the Old Testament story of Jonah through the lens of money and stewardship.Dr. Rush, Professor of Finance and Financial Planning at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, explained that Jonah's story isn't only about a prophet running from God. It's also a revealing case study in how financial choices often mirror the condition of the heart. Her core conviction is simple but challenging: every spending decision is a spiritual decision.According to Dr. Rush, money functions like a mirror. It reflects what we care about, what we trust, and what direction our hearts are moving. That principle, she noted, is woven throughout Scripture—and Jonah provides a surprisingly clear example.Many readers miss the fact that money appears twice in Jonah's short book. The first instance comes right at the beginning. When God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah runs in the opposite direction. Scripture tells us that he paid the fare to board a ship to Tarshish. Dr. Rush noted that this is one of the few passages in the Bible where the cost of travel is explicitly mentioned. The detail matters. Jonah didn't just flee spiritually—he financed his rebellion. Running from God came at a financial cost.That decision didn't affect Jonah alone. When God sent a storm, the sailors were forced to throw their valuable cargo overboard to save their lives. Dr. Rush emphasized that poor stewardship rarely stays contained. Our financial and spiritual misalignment often impacts others—families, churches, workplaces, and communities. At the same time, she noted, faithful stewardship creates ripple effects of blessing.The story then turns. In Jonah chapter two, inside the fish, Jonah repents. He cries out to God and vows obedience. This time, Dr. Rush explained, Jonah's “payment” isn't money but repentance and follow-through. When Jonah's heart is realigned, his response changes as well. Repentance redirects both priorities and spending.Dr. Rush connected that pattern to modern life. Faithful follow-through today, she said, looks like honoring a budget, keeping commitments to generosity, giving as worship rather than obligation, and acting with honesty and integrity in saving, investing, and repaying debt. These practices aren't merely financial—they're spiritual expressions of trust and obedience.Budgets, Dr. Rush explained, tell a story. They put dollars and cents to what we prioritize and reveal whether we're seeking God's Kingdom or quietly running from Him. That can be uncomfortable—but it's also hopeful. Jonah's story is full of second chances. God didn't give up on Jonah, and financial mistakes don't disqualify us either.Dr. Rush closed with a practical starting point: begin with prayer, intentionally place generosity at the top of the budget, invite wise counsel, and remember that spending decisions are always spiritual decisions. Money tells a story—but by God's grace, it can be a story shaped for His glory.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:When I think of investing, I think of putting money into something that helps it grow. If I buy a stock that doesn't pay dividends, it can feel more like a speculative bet—just hoping the price goes up. Even if I'm a passive investor and don't benefit until I sell, does owning that stock actually help the company grow in a meaningful way, making it more of an actual investment rather than a bet?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

The Financial Model Every 7–8 Figure Business Needs for Predictable Profit with Salvatore Tirabassi   Most business owners don't lack data. They lack clarity.   They have a P&L, a balance sheet, maybe even a dashboard. But when a real decision shows up—Can I afford this hire? Should I scale marketing? Why did margins drop again?—the numbers don't give a clear answer.   That's where growth starts to feel chaotic.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani sits down with fractional CFO and former private equity investor Salvatore Tirabassi to unpack what separates "clean books" from a finance function that actually drives predictable profit.   The core insight is simple but uncomfortable: bookkeeping is not finance. And confusing the two is one of the biggest reasons growing businesses stall, leak cash, or scale problems instead of profit.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why clean books and tax-ready reports are not the same as decision-ready financials How a single, integrated financial model replaces disconnected spreadsheets and gut decisions What driver-based forecasting looks like and why it creates predictable profit at scale How funnel math, capacity planning, and cash flow must work together to support growth Why tracking customer acquisition cost by channel matters more than obsessing over lifetime value How private-equity thinking exposes hidden profit leaks in people, process, and culture   Key Takeaway: If your financial reports are technically accurate but not helping you decide what to do next, the problem isn't effort—it's the model. Upgrade from bookkeeping to real finance, and your numbers will finally start working for you instead of against you.   Bio: As a seasoned finance professional with over 24 years of experience, his journey began with a passion for helping businesses thrive. After earning his degrees from Harvard and Wharton, he spent 15 years in venture capital, where he learned the ins and outs of what makes businesses successful. This experience provided him with a deep understanding of the challenges entrepreneurs face, especially in emerging and family-owned businesses.   Transitioning to the role of CFO in a high-growth company, he discovered his true calling: empowering business owners to take control of their financial futures. He founded CFO Pro + Analytics to provide virtual and fractional CFO services that demystify finance and make it accessible to all. His approach is built on a business owner-first mindset, where he prioritizes the unique needs of each client, helping them see their financial data not just as numbers, but as powerful tools for growth.   Throughout his career, He developed a methodology that combines strategic financial modeling with actionable insights. His goal is to simplify complex financial concepts so that entrepreneurs can make informed decisions confidently. Whether it's guiding them through capital raising or enhancing their operational efficiency, he strives to provide clarity and direction that drives real results.   He believes that every business has the potential to reach new heights with the right financial strategy.   Links: Website: https://cfoproanalytics.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SalvatoreTirabassi  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stirabassi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salvatoretirabassi/   Substack: https://salvatoretirabassi.substack.com/   Conclusion: Chaotic growth is rarely a revenue problem. It's a clarity problem. As this conversation with Salvatore Tirabassi makes clear, most businesses don't struggle because they lack effort or ambition. They struggle because their numbers are built for compliance, not for decisions. When financial reports are shaped by tax rules instead of business drivers, owners are left guessing, reacting, and hoping growth will eventually smooth things out. Predictable profit comes from upgrading how you think about finance. One integrated model. One source of truth. Clear drivers that connect marketing, sales, capacity, and cash. When those pieces line up, the noise disappears. Decisions get easier. Teams align. And growth becomes intentional instead of exhausting. Whether you plan to sell or simply want a calmer, more profitable business, running your company with CFO-level discipline gives you options. And options are what real freedom looks like.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessFinance #FinancialClarity #CashFlowManagement #Profitability #FractionalCFO #FinancialModeling #DriverBasedForecasting #PredictableProfit #MarginManagement #BusinessGrowth #ScalingBusiness #RevenueDrivers #CEOInsights #7FigureBusiness   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

"The dysregulation in our body is information about the congruency of our decisions." – Lisa Dion How do you know if a decision is truly aligned with who you are? In this episode, Lisa explores how our nervous system offers critical information about the congruency of our choices. Moving beyond logic alone, you're invited to integrate left-brain reasoning with right-brain awareness to make decisions that feel grounded, authentic, and whole in this New Year. This episode isn't just about therapy—it's about learning how to plan, reflect, and choose in ways that honor both the mind and the body. Lisa unpacks how to recognize when a decision is aligned, why discomfort doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, and how releasing the idea of "good" or "bad" decisions can open the door to greater clarity and self-trust.

In this episode of Built for the Edge, Kehla G names a quiet tension many entrepreneurs are feeling but struggling to articulate. They're visible. They have leads. They've built funnels, offers, systems, and pathways that look “right” on paper — yet conversion feels heavier than it should. Momentum stalls. Decisions slow. And passive strategies that once worked now require constant effort to sustain. Rather than diagnosing this as a messaging or positioning issue, Kehla points to something far less discussed: orientation. This episode explores what happens when businesses are built to move people toward outcomes without accounting for how people are actually arriving — emotionally, energetically, and neurologically. It challenges common assumptions about “meeting people where they're at,” questions the confusion between attention and readiness, and examines why pressure-based funnels no longer land in a more discerning market. Through a vivid highway-under-construction metaphor, Kehla invites listeners to consider how the quality of movement through their business — not just the destination — may be shaping client behavior, hesitation, and decision-making. This is not an episode about fixing funnels or optimizing copy. It's an invitation to notice what becomes visible when those explanations stop working. The conversation closes at the threshold, opening into a deeper inquiry around timing, inner authority, and what it takes to build a business that can actually hold the level of discernment present now.

Decisions are like dominos. And here we are—2026—standing in front of the next domino.In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how your life hasn't been shaped by big moments as much as by little choices. This message is called "Last Year's Choices." This isn't to give you a hard time about what you did last year—we all made good decisions and bad decisions in 2025. This is to help you understand how you got where you are and how to use the domino effect for your good.Our current lives are the sum total of our decisions. Some choices were intentional, some reactive, some made under pressure, and some dominoes were knocked over by others. I'm not saying you chose everything that happened to you, but you did choose how you responded."We are all born looking like our parents, but we all die looking like our decisions."If decisions brought us here, decisions can take us somewhere new.Where you are didn't happen all at once. It happened one choice at a time, one habit at a time, one reaction at a time. Last year's choices produced this year's realities, and this year's choices will produce next year's reality.You really do have a choice.Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us God sets life and death before us and calls us to choose. You can't control your upbringing or circumstances, but you do control your decisions. You can't rewrite yesterday, but you can redirect today.When it comes to decisions, your default is not good.Joshua 24:15 shows that if we don't choose God, we don't choose nothing—we choose what's familiar. If you don't choose what's godly, you'll choose what's comfortable.You are good at making bad choices.Jeremiah 17:9 says the human heart is deceitful. Your heart doesn't just feel; it steers. That's why Proverbs 4:23 says to guard your heart, because it determines the course of your life. Good intentions don't stop bad decisions—good decisions do.Your choices begin as thoughts.James 1:15 shows how desire becomes action. A thought isn't a sin, but when desire meets decision, it produces direction. Philippians 4 reminds us to think on what is true and right, then put it into practice. Your thoughts are practice for your actions.Your choices are not private.Every decision affects someone. Numbers 32:23 reminds us what we repeat privately becomes who we are publicly. Personal choices become public patterns.Today is next year's "last year." You can start now.Is the domino effect working for you—or against you?

The DU Crew is back together to discuss Illogical Start/Sit Decisions, Navigating The Emotional Rollercoaster, & Dynasty Trades!

I know technically last week was Ep. 49 1/2, so we should be at Ep. 50 — but in order to keep things on track with when we actually started putting the podcast out, I made this week's episode Ep. 51. We're kicking off the new year with a brand-new intro for the show! You'll hear a version of it here, and if you want to check out the full intro, head over to our Patreon page. Elle and I are around the table for Table Talk, breaking down some of the poker action kicking off the new year and discussing Bryn Kenney becoming the first player ever to surpass $80 million in live tournament cashes. In Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a situation where a player failed to make their larger denomination chips visible — a reminder that you need to keep those visible at all times. Patrick and I battle it out in Hand of the Week, playing A♠ J♠ from middle position, and talking through the decisions that come with it. I wrap things up with Joe's One Outer, focusing on the decision we all face this time of year — what to carry forward into the New Year and what's better left behind.

Learn how to move beyond emotional impulses and use critical thinking to evaluate opportunities, align them with your long-term vision, and assess hidden costs and consequences. Gino walks through a real-life case study of a failed partnership to show you how to avoid costly mistakes and make empowering decisions that scale your business.

2025 was a big year for the Supreme Court, as it repeatedly handed win after win to the Trump administration. Emergency Orders, also known as the shadow docket, let President Donald Trump keep his tariffs in place, withhold foreign aid and conduct immigration raids largely based on racial profiling. But lawsuits filed by complainants mean that many of these cases will be ultimately decided in the new year. Hot button issues such as transgender athletes in sports, whether birthright citizenship is a constitutional right and if redistricting efforts in Louisiana have effectively disenfranchised voters are among many impactful decisions we expect to hear in 2026. USA TODAY Justice Department Correspondent Aysha Bagchi joins The Excerpt to share how these cases and others might impact life in America.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.
