Private capital is flowing into all types of energy infrastructure—but where? And why? In this episode of Morning Energy Live, Andrew Gillick of Enverus Intelligence® Research sits down with Jack Howell, co-president of Stonepeak, to discuss its recent acquisition of a 40% stake in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure, how they are thinking about power demand growth in North American as well as how they view their early move into data centers paying off.Together, they'll explore key questions investors are asking right now:What drove early data center investments, and what does CoreWeave's IPO mean for the sector?With surging global demand for energy and connectivity, how do you prioritize capital allocation, from LNG to fiber networks?How does Stonepeak balance its $5.7 billion Louisiana LNG stake with its renewable investments like Madison Energy, and what's its long-term vision for navigating the shift to a net-zero grid?Whether you're deploying capital or tracking where it's going, this conversation will offer insight into how institutional money is reshaping energy from the Gulf Coast to global markets.

The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World hosted Digital Authoritarianism and Strategies to Promote a Democratic Digital Future, on Monday, April 28, 2025 from 4:00 – 5:30 PM PT in the Shultz Auditorium, George P. Shultz Building.    The People's Republic of China is collecting and analyzing unprecedented volumes of data from both public and private sources, within and beyond its borders, for social control. It is leveraging advanced data-centric technologies such as artificial intelligence, neuro and immersive technologies, quantum computing, and digital currencies to enhance and export its authoritarian governance model. This has led to an erosion of privacy, personal freedoms, and a climate of fear and self-censorship within the PRC. As the PRC exports its technologies to other countries, these authoritarian practices may spread globally. What are the most effective strategies for democratic societies to prevent the misuse of emerging technologies for surveillance and control by authoritarian regimes? How can we effectively track and monitor the global spread of data-centric authoritarian practices? What approaches can democratic governments and civil society adopt to develop and promote privacy-preserving solutions that offer viable alternatives to authoritarian methods, while ensuring accountability, transparency, and the protection of human rights? How can we engineer democratic values into the architectures of our technology platforms? In this event, our panel will examine the unique aspects of the PRC's approach to digital authoritarianism and the opportunities for a democratic response.

Chuck Todd begins with a critical assessment of the Democratic Party's first 100 days under the Trump administration, noting widespread discontent among Democratic voters with party leadership. He examines the positioning of potential 2028 contenders, with AOC emerging as Bernie Sanders' heir apparent, Buttigieg and Pritzker carefully laying groundwork, and Gavin Newsom attempting to distance himself from his progressive reputation. He highlights Arizona's Ruben Gallego as a potential breakthrough national figure while acknowledging the Democratic brand remains problematic with many voters despite individual politicians' popularity.Then he dives into a fascinating conversation with "Black Mirror" creator Charlie Brooker, who discusses his dystopian anthology series through the lens of human response to technology rather than the technology itself. Brooker reflects on social media's evolution from optimistic beginning to profit-driven outrage machine, and shares insights on artificial intelligence's most pressing concerns: job displacement and algorithmic management. The conversation covers wide-ranging topics including healthcare differences between the US and UK, AI's impact on education and emotional connections, and the accelerating pace of technological change that feels increasingly destabilizing. Throughout, Brooker maintains his characteristic blend of dark humor and thoughtful analysis about our relationship with technology, even touching on how the COVID pandemic influenced his creative perspective. The episode concludes with "Ask Chuck," where Todd addresses listener questions about the potential echo chamber effect in local news, the potential fracturing of the Republican Party, and speculation about Trump's relationship with stock market fluctuations.00:00 Introduction02:15 The first 100 days report card for the Democratic Party03:00 Democratic voters are not happy with party leadership04:30 Which democratic leaders have performed well?07:20 AOC has become the heir apparent to Bernie Sanders10:30 Pete Buttigieg, JB Pritzker teeing up a 2028 run?12:45 Gavin Newsom is trying to distance himself from his progressive brand15:00 Ruben Gallego could break through on the national stage16:30 The Democratic brand is still toxic with voters18:25 Charlie Brooker joins the show! 18:45 Is Charlie the 21st century George Orwell 20:25 Is Black Mirror meant to be a warning? 22:25 The show isn't about technology, it's about the human response to these tools 25:25 First episode concept came from a podcast Charlie listened to 28:25 The concept of paying for healthcare is foreign outside of America 29:55 Facebook and X were fun at first, but then they turned up the dials for anger and grievance for profit 31:55 How long did Charlie have Black Mirror as an idea before it came to fruition? 33:55 Parallels between Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone?36:00 We thought social media would be great for society… then it turned out quite differently 37:00 How worried should we be about AI? 40:15 The worry with AI will be two things.

In a world where digital transactions are the norm, why are many insurers still processing paper checks for claims settlements?

Gideon Williams remembers his entrance into the aftermarket world, initially viewing it as a lucky accident. Since then, he has risen to head the Aftermarket Division at Revolution Parts. His experience, he noted, has given him a bird's-eye view of the industry, which he describes as a blend of “blue-collar grit and white-collar strategy, driven by technology” and a relentless focus on innovation. Revolution Parts is carving out a unique space in the industry by providing digital solutions that act as the connective tissue between manufacturers, distributors and sellers, Williams said. The company's tech stack is designed to eliminate friction points within the supply chain, offering a seamless integration of OEM and aftermarket parts through advanced e-Commerce platforms. This approach addresses a critical need in the market: enhancing the connectivity between various stakeholders to optimize the delivery and availability of parts, ultimately serving the end customer better.As the aftermarket continues to evolve with the digital age, Williams emphasized the importance of meeting the new, tech-savvy generation of technicians where they are—online. He forecasts a significant growth in digital commerce, predicting a two- to four-times increase in market activity as the industry continues to adapt to new buying behaviors. For Revolution Parts, the ultimate goal is to provide an end-to-end solution that reduces friction, boosts market share and aligns with the evolving needs of a digitally driven industry.Williams' outlook reflects a broader trend in the aftermarket: a commitment to leveraging technology to not only keep pace with industry changes, but to actively shape its future. Episode Overview:How Gideon Williams ‘lucked' into the aftermarket (0:47)RevolutionParts and company culture (4:14)RevolutionParts and selling online (6:49)Future roles for the company (9:24)e-Commerce and parts stores (12:31)Lightning Round (16:48)

In this special election episode, we sit down with Gov. Rick Snyder, an entrepreneur, a former VC, and a leader whose career is unique in depth and breadth, spanning both the public and private sectors. Rick Snyder initially made his mark as COO of Gateway, where he helped the company grow revenue from $600 million to $6 billion to IPO. He then co-founded venture firm Ardesta, which stands for “spark” in Greek. After two fund cycles, he transitioned from business to politics, serving two terms as Governor of Michigan. Post-governorship, Rick Snyder returned to the entrepreneurial world, co-founding SensCy, a cybersecurity company focused on helping small and medium-sized businesses defend against growing digital threats.Drawing from his experience in both public office and tech entrepreneurship, our episode with Rick Snyder brings unique insights into the intersection of technology, government, and cybersecurity. We speak with Rick about cybersecurity, its importance in elections, and what startup founders need to keep in mind when selling to the public sector. In addition, we cover the importance of securing small and medium-sized businesses, and what startup entrepreneurs should do to develop personal resilience.

Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective! Today, I'm tuning in from (cloudy!) San Diego, where I'm speaking at the Future Conference. I'll discuss a topic we've championed for years: the critical need to upskill and re-skill the workforce. While en route, I listened to Gigatrends by Thomas Koulopoulos and Nathaniel Palmer, which shed light on seismic workforce shifts. Here are the stats: Over 14% of today's workforce must pivot to new jobs or industries as existing skills become obsolete. And with automation on track to impact 50% of jobs worldwide, 77% of CEOs feel their teams lack the skills to work effectively alongside AI. This challenge—and opportunity—extends to multifamily, where every role, from leasing consultants to property managers, needs an upgrade in digital literacy and an understanding of AI-powered tools. The skill of the future? Learning to prompt and collaborate with AI to drive data-backed decisions in everything from strategy to creativity. Leaders, 2025 is approaching, and the time to prepare is now. If you found this helpful, like it and subscribe for more insights. Let's build a digitally fluent workforce ready to lead multifamily into the future! https://www.multifamilycollective.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-brewer/support

Llama is Meta's Large Language Model trained on over 15 trillion tokens of publicly available information. It's available to anyone – from people making custom fan-made entertainment on a smartphone… to, potentially, complex projects that may not have the public's well-being in mind. So if Llama is such a widely available and powerful product, why is Meta releasing it – for free? Bilawal chats with Meta's own Vice President of Product, Ragavan Srinivasan, to discuss the pressing questions around Llama's benefits and risks.For transcripts for The TED AI Show, visit go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts

Brad Berens wears a few different hats: he's a strategic advisor and senior fellow at the Center for the Digital Future at USC Annenberg, Principal at Big Digital Idea Consulting, serves on a variety of boards, and has spent many years working in digital media. He's also a science fiction novelist and writes a weekly newsletter, The Brad Berens Weekly Dispatch on Substack, and also on LinkedIn. He has a Ph.D. in Shakespeare studies from U.C. Berkeley, where he was an award-winning teacher.Brad joined me to discuss Dr. Jonathan Haidt's newest book, The Anxious Generation, How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Brad is a longtime friend and colleague from my time in the world of advertising. And over the years, he has made it clear that he is “Less than impressed” with Dr. Haidt's many books and conclusions in the field of social psychology. In today's chat, Brad quickly points out that Dr. Haidt's title alone is flawed - because there is no “Epidemic of Mental Illness” nor is there any causal data to back up this very controversial claim. During our time together, I admit my biases… and do my best to defend my years-long intellectual crush on Dr. Haidt…in spite of Brad's cogent and valid concerns about the book's lack of unidirectional causality, specific to its title and theoretical positioning in the field of social psychology. As usual with my time with Brad, I had a blast, and learned a ton. I hope you enjoy this episode, too.  Brad Berens' Socials:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradberens/And The Brad Berens Weekly Dispatch: This is a public episode.

The African continent faces several unique challenges that increase its vulnerability to cyber-attacks: a shortage of cybersecurity professionals, outdated software, lack of digital literacy among individuals, and struggles with personal data protection. While digital accessibility is on the rise in Africa, 60 percent of Africans (about 700 million people) remain unconnected to the internet. Digital literacy is the first step in tackling this challenge as connecting people is essential for improving education, job opportunities, and healthcare, as well as economic growth. However, Africa innovation and solutions show promise in ensuring the continent will overcome these hurdles and actively participate in the “digital revolution”. Fran Katsoudas, Executive Vice President and Chief People, Policy and Purpose Officer at Cisco, joins Mvemba to share findings from Cisco's recently launched report “Elevating Africa's Cyber Resilience: Unveiling Regional Challenges and Charting AI Solutions.”
