Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible.1920 MARS

At The Mining Event of the North conference in Quebec City, MSE host Bill Powers interviews strategic resource investor Michael Gentile about his long-term, venture-capital style approach to junior mining. Michael says that 90% of his net worth is currently in junior mining stocks and he is still deploying cash into new positions. Gentile says his major win in Northern Superior Resources and a takeout of Arizona Sonoran validated and de-risked his process, and he plans to redeploy the gains while maintaining a 5 to 10-year horizon and diversified portfolio of about 35 companies, with deeper involvement in 15–20 issuers. He explains his risk control (starting with ~1% positions, adding to ~5% if aligned), the importance of management, cap-table quality, infrastructure, and disciplined technical due diligence via expert networks. Gentile discusses financings (holds vs “life” deals, avoiding life-with-warrant fast money), common retail mistakes (impatience and poor timing), commodity preferences (mostly gold/silver, some copper), and how his faith influences his work and charitable plans through the Apostles Fund. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Northern Superior Win 01:24 Venture Capital Playbook 04:30 Hands on Value Add 05:51 When Management Fails 08:19 Cap Table 09:46 Life Financing Debate 12:38 Process Refinements 14:36 Site Visits 16:35 Network Driven Due Diligence 19:54 Protect downside or seek upside? 22:26 Retail Mistakes Patience 25:18 Thinking Like a Major 27:24 Commodity Mix and Cycles 29:57 Can He Ever Quit? 31:45 More Precious than Gold: Faith and Giving Back Sign up for Michael's weekly email: www.SaturdayMorningMining.com Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Banks have built trillion-dollar empires on a very simple business model: borrowing money at a low rate and lending it out at a higher rate to pocket the spread. In this episode, we break down how everyday investors can replicate this exact framework using the cash value of their life insurance policies through a strategy known as policy loan arbitrage.By borrowing against a well-structured life insurance policy at a lower interest rate, investors can deploy that capital into higher-yielding vehicles like senior secured private credit funds. This allows your capital to compound in two places at once, generating true passive income and building wealth without relying on stock market volatility.Key Topics DiscussedThe core banking business model of pocketing interest rate spreadsHow to leverage life insurance cash value for policy loan arbitrageMaintaining uninterrupted compound growth inside a life insurance policyInvesting in first-lien, asset-backed private credit fundsCalculating the net income spread between loan costs and investment returnsUtilizing the Amagos Income Fund for consistent monthly passive incomeBuilding a patient capital engine for long-term generational wealthKey TakeawaysWealthy individuals build systems that allow their capital to work simultaneously in multiple places.You can borrow against your life insurance cash value without triggering a taxable event or surrendering the policy.Deploying borrowed capital at a 10% return while paying a 5.5% loan rate creates a highly effective 4.5% passive income spread.Senior secured private credit prioritizes downside protection and capital preservation over high-risk equity plays.Successful policy loan arbitrage requires discipline, a well-structured policy, and a reliable high-yield investment vehicle.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

In this episode, I take you through how I set up a Cardano node at home using a low-cost HP Elite mini PC, why I decided to do it this way, and how I'm thinking about turning it into a machine that can help pay for itself over time.The main goal here was to reduce the cost of running relay infrastructure for my Cardano stake pool, but in doing that, I can also use this node for other things, too, like a private submit API and other services that may earn rewards over time.I walk through the full setup flow I followed, including installing Ubuntu, enabling SSH access, hardening the server using the CoinCashew guide, deploying the Cardano node with Guild Operators, setting it up as a background service, using Mithril snapshots to speed up sync, and checking everything with gLiveView.If you've been thinking about running your own home relay, or you want to understand how a low-cost machine can fit into a wider Cardano infrastructure setup, this one will help.Tutorials and references used in this setup:CoinCashew Cardano stake pool guideCoinCashew Ubuntu hardening guideCoinCashew topology guideGuild Operators node setup guideTimestamps0:00 Why I bought this mini PC1:02 Turning it into a profitable machine2:08 Reducing relay costs for my stake pool3:24 Whats a Cardano submit API does5:10 Other services this node can run6:22 Installing Ubuntu on the HP Elite mini PC8:40 Switching Ubuntu to command-line boot10:12 Enabling SSH and remote access12:08 CoinCashew server hardening guide13:35 Setting up SSH keys properly15:22 Configuring SSH and changing the port17:48 System updates and fail2ban19:42 UFW firewall rules and opening port 600021:18 Chrony time sync setup22:44 Guild Operators install and dependencies26:10 Choosing binaries and Mithril tools28:34 Deploying the node as a systemd service30:12 Setting CPU cores and installing htop31:40 Configuring gLiveView and mempool tracing33:26 Mithril snapshot setup35:14 Downloading the Cardano DB snapshot37:08 Starting the node and checking status38:20 Topology configuration and relay peers40:05 Final checks in gLiveView41:22 Final thoughts and next stepsIf you want, I can also turn this into a shorter, tighter Spreaker version with less SEO language and more natural podcast copy.DISCLAIMER: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or legal advice.

U.S. Navy E/A-18G Growler jet collision, Boeing's China order, the new target for air traffic controller staffing, new United flight attendant contract, domestic flight lengths, Boeing civil suit award, and a tribute to a flight instructor. Aviation News Growlers Collide at Air Show, Four Good Chutes Two U.S. Navy E/A-18G Growler jets collided midair during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. All four Washington-based pilots ejected. The jets exploded upon impact with the ground. The Gunfighter Skies Air Show (May 16-17, 2026) was a free event open to the public and featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The Growler is a variant of the Super Hornet with advanced sensors and jamming pods. The VAQ-129 “Vikings” EA-18G Growler Demo Team showcases the platform for tactical jamming and electronic attack. Video: Deep Intel on the Growler Midair at Idaho Airshow https://youtu.be/eR6yXoyaarY?si=o_ZO4iqfplgNIfNG Boeing China Order Disappoints, Stock Falls Last week, we reported that Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg was joining President Trump on his visit to China. There was anticipation for a 500-airplane deal, but it appears the negotiation resulted in a 200-airplane purchase. No other details were available at the time. FAA cuts target for air traffic control staffing The FAA has a new target for air traffic control staffing: 12,563 certified controllers. The previous target was 14,633 controllers. That's a reduction of 2,070 controllers, or 14%. Controller overtime costs have gone up more than 300% since 2013, according to a National Academies of Sciences report. Air traffic is up, but time spent on position managing air ⁠traffic has gone down. The ​FAA said, “Deploying modern staffing models and scheduling tools will improve controller staffing efficiency and reduce the need for excessive overtime.” The FAA said about 11,000 certified controllers are deployed, 4,000 are in training, including 1,000 who were previously fully certified and are training ‌at new air traffic control facilities. United Flight Attendants Ratify Contract — Top Pay Will Exceed $100/Hour, $740M Lump Sum Payout United Airlines flight attendants ratified the tentative agreement that was reached in March. Almost 89% of eligible union members voted, and of those who did, 82% approved the contract. Flight attendants get their first raise in 5.5 years, almost 20% over the life of the contract. Short flights are popular. Will they last? There are many more scheduled short domestic flights in the U.S. than long ones, but over the past 10 years, the number of flights of 500 miles or less has decreased, while the number of longer flights has increased.  Jury awards $49.5M to family of Boeing 737 MAX crash victim Samya Stumo was a 24-year-old who was killed in the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, in 2019. Like other victims' families, Stumo's family brought a civil suit against Boeing. Most of those other suits were settled out of court. Stumo's family did not reach a settlement, and the case went to trial focusing on compensation. Boeing had previously admitted liability. A federal jury in Chicago awarded $21 million for Stumo's death, $16.5 million for the family's loss of companionship, and $12 million for the family's grief. 4 killed in medical plane crash in Capitan Mountains identified The Australia News Desk Steve Visscher's tribute to Gary Bittle, his flight instructor and friend.

Jean-Baptiste Wautier spent nearly thirty years in private equity, including over two decades as Partner and CIO at BC Partners, one of Europe's leading buyout firms, where he helped manage approximately forty billion euros in institutional capital. Today he runs a consumer-focused family office and sits on the boards of Pershing Square Holdings and Howard Hughes Holdings.In this episode, JB breaks down what the best deals have in common before anyone knows they are great, why he believes diversification is insurance for investors who don't understand what they own, and how moving from institutional capital to family capital fundamentally changes your relationship to time, risk, and opportunity.We also get into the Iran war, volatile markets, and the S&P rallying twenty percent in a single month. JB makes a convincing bear case and an equally convincing bull case — and then tells you exactly what he is doing with his own capital right now.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comKey topics discussed:- From institutional PE to family capital: how removing mandate constraints and preset timelines changes the way you invest- The three ingredients every great deal has in common: moat, management, and optionality- Why diversification is insurance for investors who don't understand what they own, and why concentration is how alpha gets generated- The Iran war, volatile markets, and why you can never time the market — including JB's case for and against deploying right now- Buy well, own well, and the ancient Greek concept of Kairos as the art of knowing when to exitLinks:Wautier Family Office - https://wautier.co.uk/Connect with Jean-Baptiste Wautier - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jean-baptiste-wautier/Connect with Prashant: https://linkedin.com/in/choubeysahabSubscribe to VC10X newsletter - ⁠https://vc10x.beehiiv.com⁠Subscribe on YouTube - ⁠https://youtube.com/@VC10X ⁠Subscribe on Apple Podcasts - ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vc10x-investing-venture-capital-asset-management-private/id1632806986⁠Subscribe on Spotify - ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7F7KEhXNhTx1bKTBFgzv3k?si=WgQ4ozMiQJ-6nowj6wBgqQ⁠VC10X website - ⁠https://vc10x.comTimestamps:(00:00) - Preview(03:06) - Introduction to the guest, Jean-Baptiste Wautier (JB), and episode overview.(04:53) - The biggest change in private equity over the last 20 years.(06:56) - The three common traits of the best investment deals.(09:38) - Where private equity genuinely adds operational value.(12:42) - How investing family capital changes your relationship to time and risk.(16:50) - Are constraints helpful or harmful to an investor's performance?(20:48) - The biggest mistake investors make with consumer companies.(22:45) - Lessons for PE investors from Bill Ackman's public market style.(26:44) - The governance approach for a high-conviction, concentrated fund.(28:13) - Why the Berkshire Hathaway holding company model is so difficult to replicate.(31:04) - What an effective board does that shareholders never see.(32:49) - Early warning signs that a board is becoming ceremonial.(34:13) - A deep dive into the current investing environment and geopolitical risks.(37:30) - The detailed case against deploying capital now.(39:20) - The detailed case for deploying capital now.(42:19) - Is investment success from buying well, owning well, or behaving well?#PrivateEquity #FamilyOffice #VentureCapital #VC10X #Investing

What does thoughtful philanthropy look like when the ambition is to deploy $6 billion over the next 35 years in support of girls' education? In this episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji speaks with Dana Schmidt, Program Director at Echidna Giving, about the realities of large-scale grantmaking, the responsibility that comes with stewarding significant philanthropic capital, and why supporting girls' education remains one of the most evidence-backed pathways toward long-term social change. Echidna Giving is expanding rapidly, with annual grantmaking projected to grow from roughly $50 million to $200 million. Dana explains why giving money away well is far from straightforward. The conversation explores how funders can remain responsive to grantees, learn continuously, and avoid becoming disconnected from the communities they seek to support. Central to Echidna Giving's approach is a commitment to listening to those closest to the problems, investing in long-term relationships, taking measured risks, and embedding clear values into day-to-day decision making. The discussion also examines how philanthropic organizations can preserve culture and effectiveness while scaling. Dana shares how Echidna Giving formalized guiding principles for its work, used independent grantee perception surveys to gather honest feedback, and saw stronger results even as the organization grew and expanded geographically. A major theme throughout the conversation is proximity. As Echidna Giving has built teams closer to the regions where it works, including East Africa, its grantmaking has evolved. The organization has increased direct engagement with locally led institutions and is supporting efforts to strengthen African-led education research, with the aim of shifting who produces evidence and shapes educational priorities. Dana also outlines the areas where Echidna Giving concentrates its funding, including early childhood, foundational learning, and adolescent girls' education, recognizing these as pivotal moments that influence whether girls remain in school and thrive over the long term. The conversation considers how philanthropy can complement, rather than replace, public systems, acknowledging that governments remain the largest investors in education worldwide. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of effective philanthropy, trust-based grantmaking, systems change, and the challenge of turning substantial resources into meaningful, lasting impact.

Graham, Kevin, and Phil discuss Phil's new book "Human First Marketing", which aims to address issues like ad desensitisation, homogenised content, and the modern consumer's desire for authenticity. Phil explains his motivation for writing the book and the key principles behind the "human first" approach.Summary of PodcastComparing old vs. new marketing tacticsGraham, who has been in marketing since the 1970s, acknowledges that some of the issues Phil raised have been around for a long time. The group discusses how marketing has evolved, with AI and automation playing a bigger role, and the need to find the right balance between efficiency and maintaining a human touch.Implementing "human first" marketingPhil outlines three key steps for implementing a "human first" marketing approach: 1) Deeply understanding the target audience, 2) Making the company's leadership and team more visible and accessible, and 3) Deploying an "employee advocacy" program to leverage the reach and influence of a company's own employees.Debating the marketing "funnel" vs. "pinball" modelThe group debates the merits of the traditional marketing funnel model versus Phil's "pinball" concept, where customers bounce around non-linearly. They discuss the pros and cons of each approach and how to best adapt to the reality of modern, fragmented customer journeys.Recap and next stepsThe group wraps up the discussion, acknowledging the value of the "pinball" concept and the importance of challenging assumptions. They express interest in exploring the ideas further, potentially by bringing in other marketing experts like Flint McLaughlin.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Pressure reveals who you really are as a leader. Brian Aquart, Vice President of Workforce and Community Education at Northwell Health, shares how a defining moment during the first wave of COVID reshaped his understanding of purpose, responsibility, and ethical leadership. Deploying staff into high-risk areas forced him to wrestle with the weight of decisions that could either expose people to harm or help save lives.  You'll hear how Brian moved from chasing titles to chasing impact, why principles at the top prevent chaos across 100,000+ employees, and how values must be embedded—not just stated—to withstand pressure. From education initiatives that change life trajectories to his belief that compassion drifts first when guardrails disappear, this conversation will challenge you to examine how you show up when it matters most. Brian Aquart is a healthcare executive, advisor, and storyteller whose work sits at the intersection of leadership, workforce development, and human transition. He currently serves as Vice President of Workforce & Community Education at Northwell Health, where he helps design and scale education-to-career pathways that strengthen communities and future-ready systems.  He is also the creator and host of Why I Left, a podcast exploring the pivotal moments when leaders choose to evolve, and the founder of Storyline by Kingswood, where he works with executives and organizations to develop narrative clarity, strengthen leadership presence, and align how they show up with the impact they want to make. Across all of his work, Brian is driven by a core belief: when leaders change how they show up, they change what's possible for the people and systems they serve.You'll discover:How ethical leadership becomes clear when lives are on the lineWhy principles at the top determine culture at scaleWhat happens inside an organization when values aren't reinforcedHow showing up physically signals integrity and careWhy purpose, not prestige, sustains leaders long termConnect with Brian on Social MediaLinkedIn YouTube Websites Why I LeftWebsite: https://whyileft.co/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whyileft Storyline by KingswoodWebsite: https://www.kingswoodforestllc.com/storyline-by-kingswood/  Check out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedIn

On this episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, cohosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence sit down with Abhishek Garg, Senior Real Estate Development Manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and an Nomad Futurist Foundation Ambassador. Abhishek shares his journey from a curious child in a small Indian border town to designing and building massive AI-ready data center campuses that power the cloud. Along the way, he explains why digital infrastructure and the skilled trades that support it are the unsung backbone of the AI era. Abhishek describes his role at AWS as his “dream job”, combining engineering, finance, and real estate to deliver the physical foundations of AI. His non-linear career — from engineering in India to real estate strategy at Ernst & Young — taught him to value power, kilowatts, and infrastructure in addition to traditional square footage: "The coding you are doing, the software development you are creating, that's going to be stored somewhere, and that's the physical infrastructure I'm there to provide." Curiosity shaped Abhishek's path from an early age. Watching his father develop properties, he became fascinated by turning empty land into buildings. Although he first pursued engineering, he later returned to real estate, earning a master's degree at Arizona State University for hands-on development experience. Throughout the episode, he stresses that the cloud is physical: concrete, steel, and power. Building AI campuses is a complex, multi-year process requiring vast land, utilities, and coordination. Many underestimate the scale behind tech infrastructure: "I believe a lot of people think cloud is abstract, but it actually requires millions of square feet of land and building. I help build cloud and provide it a home.” Recognizing the human capital gap in digital infrastructure, Abhishek encourages valuing the transferable skills of electricians, engineers, and construction professionals. He advocates for short, intensive programs to expose students and mid-career professionals to the industry and its high-paying opportunities: "No matter what degree or background you have, if you are curious and willing to learn, you can definitely get into it. There's no stopping you." He stresses the importance of educating communities about the critical role of data centers and AI in daily life and uses platforms like Nomad Futurist to bridge knowledge gaps. While optimistic about AI's potential, he reinforces that human intelligence remains essential: "AI is the groundwork for everything. Help build it and get excited about it… This is just the beginning." Abhishek's journey shows that building the future of technology requires vision, persistence, and a willingness to embrace unconventional paths. His story reminds us that the most powerful innovations are grounded in curiosity, human skill, and the infrastructure that makes it all possible. Connect with Abhishek Garg on LinkedIn and carry forward his final piece of advice: "Curiosity will lead you everywhere. Your career is not linear. Stick to your path and stay interested in the world."

Episode overview In this episode of Investments Unplugged, hosts Macan Nia and Kevin Headland discuss the investment implications of the Middle East conflict that began in the first quarter of 2026. Rather than forecasting geopolitical outcomes, Macan and Kevin focus on how shocks in energy-producing regions can transmit quickly into oil and natural gas prices, consumer costs, inflation expectations, and market volatility.  The discussion is framed around:  The context of today's macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop Historical lessons from past geopolitical events (“disruptive” vs. “destructive”) Key factors to watch amid the current conflict , particularly the Strait of Hormuz  Practical portfolio considerations, including: Volatility management Deploying cash assets Fixed-income duration Emphasizing quality and diversification o   Key topics & insights 1. Why energy is the fast transmission mechanism Oil & gas move quickly into day-to-day costs: Higher energy prices pressure consumer budgets and can reduce spending elsewhere (they note consumption is ~two-thirds of the U.S. and Canadian economies). Real-time examples of price impacts: They cite U.S. average gasoline prices around $3.60/gal, up ~27% since early March (also noting seasonal “summer blend” effects). Europe's sensitivity to natural gas: They highlight that gas matters particularly for Europe and can drive equity volatility there. 2. The conflict's nuance: scale of regional supply + chokepoint risk Middle East production concentration: They estimate roughly ~20% of global oil production comes from the Middle East. Strait of Hormuz as a chokepoint: They emphasize the Strait's importance, noting ~20% of oil flows through it daily and also referencing natural gas flows. Operational disruption risk vs. outright closure: Even if ships have legal right of passage, they discuss how slower traffic, inspections, and higher insurance costs can still disrupt supply and risk sentiment. 3. Disruptive vs. destructive: what history suggests Most geopolitical shocks are “disruptive”: They describe internal research showing many events historically have short-lived market drawdowns, with returns often positive 3 months and 1 year later. When it can turn “destructive”: They reference the 1973–74 oil shock/Yom Kippur War framework—where sustained high oil contributed to recession—arguing the duration of elevated prices is key. Catalyst vs. cause: They note recessions typically aren't caused by one event alone; timing and existing fragilities matter. 4. Inflation, central banks, and why bonds may not hedge the usual way Energy can re-ignite inflation fears: If high energy is not transitory, they suggest inflation could remain sticky or reaccelerate. Policy uncertainty: They discuss the challenge for central banks balancing inflation control vs. growth risks, and note market expectations for 2026 rate cuts shifting (from multiple cuts expected to potentially far fewer). Fixed income positioning: They express preference for higher-quality credit and caution against taking too much duration risk in a volatile inflation backdrop; fixed income is framed as a patience game. 5) Portfolio discipline in fast-moving headline markets Don't invest emotionally: They stress not letting emotions drive decisions and reiterate diversification's role. Cash deployment needs a plan: Because markets can move sharply on ceasefire/headline risk, they advocate “staging in” with predefined triggers rather than trying to time a single entry point. Volatility as an opportunity indicator: They cite research that investing when the VIX is above 30 historically led to stronger forward returns (e.g., higher 6-month and 1-year returns vs. average conditions), while noting VIX was around the mid-20s at the time discussed. 6. Second-order impacts beyond oil and gas (food inputs) Fertilizer/food linkage: They highlight the Strait's relevance to seaborne sulfur trade (a fertilizer input), raising the possibility of food-price implications—especially relevant for emerging markets and policy paths. ·   Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors Separate geopolitics from portfolio process: Don't make large, reactive shifts based on fast-changing headlines; keep decisions anchored to your plan and time horizon. Watch energy as the key macro variable: Monitor whether oil and gas remain elevated for longer—that's the difference between a short shock and a broader inflation/growth problem. Be intentional with cash: If you have cash to deploy, use a staged plan with trigger points (rather than waiting for “all-clear” news that may already be priced in). Revisit fixed-income risk (duration and quality): In an energy-driven inflation-risk scenario, consider whether your bond exposure is taking more duration risk than you intended; emphasize quality and recognize bonds may not cushion equities as reliably if inflation expectations rise. Stay diversified and avoid concentration: Use this as a reminder that diversification across geographies and asset classes matters—especially when a single risk factor (energy) can dominate outcomes. Use volatility constructively: If volatility spikes to extreme levels, history (as discussed in the episode) suggests those periods can be better long-term entry points—provided you can stay disciplined.   Links & Resources Listen to the episode:Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments:Manulife IM Canada   Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.   For informational purposes only.

In this solo episode, Maribel breaks down Cisco's systematic approach to workflow redesign, why visibility into how work actually gets done is the missing first step, and what enterprise leaders need to change about their leadership culture and talent systems before AI adoption will deliver real results.Key Topics Covered•  Why AI tool adoption without workflow redesign fails to deliver ROI•  How Cisco's Atlas AI agent system maps work across the enterprise•  The digital workflow canvas that lets leaders redesign processes systematically•  Results from Cisco's pilot: 60% of activities AI-augmentable, 28 transformational use cases• Why framing AI as augmentation rather than headcount reduction drives adoption•  The leadership and talent system changes most companies missKey TakeawayThe technology exists. The use cases are proven. What's missing is the organizational discipline to redesign workflows before deploying more tools. Start with your data and your processes, not your tools.Resources & Links Blog post: Why AI Tool Adoption Without Workflow Redesign Is a Waste of Money [Lopez Research] Related: Five Steps to Follow for Successful AI Deployments [Lopez Research]Related: Three Shifts in AI-Driven Labor That CIOs and CEOs Can't Ignore [Lopez Research]Subscribe to AI with Maribel Lopez on your channel of choice here.

Kevin Wolf, CEO and Co-founder of Wind Harvest, has been working to make this vision a reality. His team has developed vertical axis wind turbines that harvest turbulent winds near the ground, a resource previously considered unusable.The idea isn't new; vertical axis turbines have been attempted for decades but failed to overcome engineering challenges. “The turbulent wind has stopped all other technologies from being able to make use of it,” Kevin explained. “It took a long time, a lot of money, and a lot of prototyping of full-scale prototypes…to finally have this product ready for the market.”The key innovation is a patented hinge system that solves a critical weakness of vertical axis turbines—mechanical stress on the blades. “Vertical axis turbines have failed for decades,” Kevin said. “The problem is they rotate 15 million times a year…every rotation, there's a pull with a blade like an airplane wing and a push as it comes around the other side. That connection point breaks…[but] if you put a hinge, all that micro movement is taken up in the hinge.”The potential impact of Wind Harvest's turbines is enormous. By placing them on existing wind farms, they can double the energy output per acre in ideal locations without requiring new infrastructure or land. “We can double the wind farm energy output with our turbines,” Kevin emphasized. He noted that this approach also avoids the costs and environmental impacts of developing new wind farms. “It's a much faster way of developing new wind farms…as opposed to taking raw land, new habitat, and converting that into a wind farm.”Wind Harvest is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. This effort allows small investors to support clean energy innovation. Kevin explained the unique challenge of funding such groundbreaking work: “There is a lot of doubt at the level of the venture capitalists…they want us to finish the third-party certification.” In the meantime, crowdfunding has allowed Wind Harvest to bridge the gap and move closer to commercialization.You can find more about their campaign on StartEngine (Top 15 in amount raised on StartEngine.) and be part of an investment opportunity to drive clean energy forward.tl;dr:Kevin Wolf's vertical axis wind turbines harvest turbulent winds near the ground, doubling wind farm efficiency.Wind Harvest's patented hinge system solves a key flaw in traditional vertical axis turbines.Deploying these turbines on existing wind farms reduces costs, accelerates permitting, and avoids new land use.Kevin attributes his success to persistence, flexibility, and consensus-building skills honed over decades.Wind Harvest is raising capital via crowdfunding to finalize certification and commercialize their turbines.How to Develop Persistence and Flexibility As a SuperpowerKevin attributes his success to persistence and flexibility. “I do not like to not have something succeed,” he shared, adding, “I've learned over time that big things take a long time to do.” His training as a river guide and evolutionary ecologist shaped his ability to adapt. “You learn to take new data, change your mind, adjust your hypothesis,” he explained. By pairing this adaptability with relentless persistence, Kevin has overcome significant obstacles in his career.Kevin shared a story from his days at Wolfen Associates, where he helped the city of Sausalito reach consensus on a fire department expansion. After the city's initial proposal failed, Kevin facilitated community meetings, allowing dissenting voices to be heard and their concerns addressed. By incorporating feedback and revising the proposal, the city council gained overwhelming public support in a re-vote. This experience highlights Kevin's ability to persist through challenges while remaining flexible to new perspectives.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Embrace persistence by committing to long-term goals, even when progress feels slow.Stay flexible by adapting to new data and revising plans when necessary.Practice active listening to fully understand others' perspectives.Help others clarify their thoughts by rephrasing and restating their concerns.By following Kevin's example and advice, you can make persistence and flexibility a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

I sit down with Cody Schneider, growth engineer and co-founder of Graph, for a live, hands-on crash course in GTM (go-to-market) engineering powered by Claude Code. Cody walks through how he runs multiple AI agents simultaneously to handle everything from bulk Facebook ad creation and LinkedIn outreach to cold email campaigns and live data analysis — tasks that used to require a team of dozens. By the end of the episode, you'll have a full understanding of how to set up your own agent workflow, the specific tools involved, and why domain expertise paired with AI is the real competitive advantage right now. Cody's GTM Toolkit: AI/Agent Tools: Claude Code, Perplexity API, OpenAI Codex Marketing & Outreach: Instantly AI (cold email), Phantom Buster (LinkedIn scraping/automation), Apollo API (data enrichment), Million Verifier (email verification), Raphonic (podcast host scraping): Advertising: Facebook Ads API, Facebook Ads Library (competitor research), Nano Banana Pro (AI image generation), Kai AI (bulk image generation), HeyGen API (UGC/video generation) Infrastructure & Deployment: Railway.com (servers, on-the-fly databases/Postgres), Vercel (deployment) Data & Analytics: Graphed / Graphed MCP (data warehouse, live data feeds), Google Analytics 4 CRM & Communication: Salesforce (mentioned as comparison), Intercom, SendGrid API, Slack, Cal.com API Productivity & Design: Notion, Super Whisper (voice transcription), Claude Code front-end design skill, HTML to Canvas (for converting React components to PNGs) Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:02 – What Is GTM Engineering? 05:12 – Setting Up Your Agent Workspace & Environment File 07:54 – Live Demo: LinkedIn Auto-Responder 09:56 – Live Demo: Bulk Facebook Ad Generator 12:31 – Live Demo: Cold Email Campaign Automation (Raphonic + Instantly) 14:47 – Live Demo: Creating Notion Documents via Claude Code 16:46 – Live Demo: Bulk Ad Creative Generator 26:05 – Live Demo: LinkedIn Engagement Scraper to Cold Email Pipeline 28:16 – Context Switching Across Tasks 29:19 – Live Demo: Bulk Ad Generator 31:41 – Live Demo: Data Analysis: Turning Off Low-Performing Ads 35:28 – Summary of GTM Engineering Workflow 37:48 – Deploying Agents and On-the-Fly Databases with Railway for Data Analysis 41:28 – The Dream of Autonomous Marketing 48:50 – Building API-First Products and Agent-Native Infrastructure Key Points GTM engineering has evolved from Clay-style data enrichment workflows into full-stack agent orchestration — where one person running multiple Claude Code agents can replace the output of a large team. The practical setup starts with a single folder containing your environment file (API keys for every tool in your stack), transcription software like Super Whisper, and Claude Code. Cody demonstrates running seven or more agents simultaneously across LinkedIn outreach, Facebook ad creation, cold email campaigns, Notion document generation, and live data dashboards. Code-generated ad creative (React components exported as PNGs) costs nearly nothing to produce at scale and allows rapid testing of messaging variations before investing in polished visuals. Deploying proven workflows to Railway turns one-off agent tasks into always-on, autonomous processes that run 24/7. Domain expertise is the real multiplier — the vocabulary you bring from your field determines the quality of output you can extract from these tools.
