On Downstream this week is Myriam François, a […]
Today's Todd Huff Show is hosted by former Indiana State Senator John Crane, who reflects on his journey in politics and why he chose to voluntarily term-limit himself. Drawing from nearly a decade in public office, Crane explains why politics is always downstream from culture—and why the real battle lies upstream in the war of worldviews.Crane shares candid insights from his time in the Indiana Senate, including his conviction that Christians are called to be a catalyst for redemptive good in politics. He challenges the Church to stop treating politics as “too dirty” for engagement and instead equip the next generation of biblically grounded leaders to step boldly into the arena.Drawing on Romans 12 and his personal prayer life while serving in office, Crane emphasizes that leadership is intentional influence—and every believer is called to shine light where darkness seems strongest. He urges the Church to take political discipleship seriously, raising up leaders who are thoughtful, principled, and courageous.If politics is downstream, the Church must go upstream to shape culture with truth, conviction, and biblical clarity. As Crane makes clear: the mission field of politics desperately needs faithful leaders.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

Dr. David Stubbs talks about companies that can use AI to drive margins, like JPMorgan (JPM), as the next level of the AI boom. He discusses the supply/demand levels of computing power, which he thinks will remain unbalanced for at least the next 18 months, and what happens when it stabilizes. He thinks AI is best played in private markets using “derivative” companies down the supply chains. He also covers bonds vs equities and compares the U.S. to international markets.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Consider The Downstream Effects - Mike CohnHave you ever looked at the pipes under a bathroom or kitchen sink?If you do, you'll notice that the pipe doesn't run straight from the sink to the wall. Instead the pipe from the drain goes down farther than necessary, curves right back up and then heads into the wall.This little extra bit of pipe that goes down farther than necessary and u-turns back up is called a P-trap. That's because it looks like a P turned on this side.Why do plumbers install P-traps? They must cost more to manufacture, so it increases their costs, which they may or may not be able to pass on to customers. They're a little harder to install, so they cost the plumber time, too.So, why? Plumbers install P-traps because they prevent downstream problems. A P-trap under your sink traps gases that would otherwise rise back into the house. They also catch small items that fall down the drain.And good plumbers care about this even though they know they may not be the plumber to return to fix the problem.Good plumbers care because they're good plumbers. Installing a P-trap under your sink is simply the right thing to do because it prevents downstream problems. We want agile team members who behave the same way. Good agile team members care–not just about their own work but also about the work of everyone downstream of them. OK. Back to the example. A while back, I helped a team incorporate more automated testing into their work. Some programmers, who viewed their job as nothing more than writing what they considered good code, balked at the idea of altering their code to make future testing easier. Code testability, they argued, was not their problem; it was the testers' problem.The situation came to a head during a sprint planning meeting, when the testers were giving some really large estimates for testing code that was going to take only a fraction of that amount of time to program.The programmers were asked if they could do anything to make the code easier to test. And it turned out there were some things they could do, but some of the programmers didn't want to do them because they felt it would make their code less elegant.They had defined their jobs as merely writing good code. Who cared if that code was hard to test?Why Do Something If It's Harder?Act Like a Good PlumberI'm going to give you an example of why this matters, but first, I need a favor. Would you take this short AI survey?We want to learn more about how Agile teams are using (or thinking about using) AI in their work. Your input will help us better understand current practices, opportunities, and challenges—and we'll be sharing the results with the community.Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZJY2SXY“They had defined their jobs as merely writing good code. Who cared if that code was hard to test?”If my plumber had done that, I would have had a fully functional sink, perhaps for years. But eventually enough debris would have made it past where a P-trap should have been installed and deep into my plumbing. This would have led to an expensive--and easily avoidable--repair.When team members accept responsibility for issues caused downstream of their work, that team can begin to grow from good to great.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Can Mexico hold American gun makers accountable for cross-border violence? In this week's Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes Jonathan Lowy, an attorney and Founder/President of Global Action on Gun Violence. Jon is here to unpack the groundbreaking Supreme Court case Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson. Jon explains how guns trafficked from US gun dealers are fueling cartel violence in Mexico and how US legal protections shield the gun industry from accountability. Jonathan breaks down what the Court's 9-0 ruling really means, why the door isn't closed for future lawsuits, and how legal strategies are evolving to tackle global gun violence. If you're passionate about stopping gun violence while respecting lawful ownership, share this episode, join the conversation at actiononguns.org and be a part of the movement for common-sense solutions! What to expect in this episode: Inside the Case: What the Mexico v. Smith & Wesson Supreme Court ruling entails Targeting Manufacturers: Why the lawsuit focused on illegal sales, not Second Amendment rights Cross-Border Trafficking: How over 200,000 American guns flow into Mexico every year “Bad Apple” Dealers: The small group responsible for most illegal gun trafficking Legal Shield: How PLCAA limits accountability for gun manufacturers SCOTUS Verdict: What the unanimous 9–0 decision confirmed (and left open) Global Action's Fight: Ongoing legal efforts in the US and Canada to curb gun violence Take Action: How listeners and lawyers can help stop illegal gun sales Bipartisan Ground: Unexpected agreement on the need to end gun trafficking Key Actionable Takeaways: Dig Into Supply Chains: When investigating liability, always trace the product's journey. Downstream actions and knowledge can make or break “aiding and abetting” arguments. Monitor International Litigation: Cross-border cases are rising, and strategies used internationally can circle back home, opening new avenues (or defenses). Be Agile in Complaints: A higher degree of specificity may now be required… Detailed allegations tying manufacturers to specific dealers and sales are critical post-ruling. Bridge the Political Divide: Litigation and reform around gun trafficking can be nonpartisan; framing your approach this way may engage wider support both inside and outside the courtroom.

The industry faces ongoing pressure to innovate, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, while still ensuring robust and reliable results.In this practical, energetic episode, host David Brühlmann welcomes Scott Wheelwright, Chairman, CTO and Co-Founder of BioChromatographix International (BCI). With a career spanning continents - Asia, Europe, and North America - Scott's perspective is forged from hands-on manufacturing, technology transfer, and building high-growth companies from scratch. He's not just innovating the science behind chromatography; he's lived the manufacturing realities, spanning everything from precision antibodies to complex gene therapies, and now leads a team solving the tough purification puzzles holding progress back.Here are three reasons why this episode is a must-listen:Continuous Innovation in Chromatography: Despite a hundred-year legacy, chromatography still holds tremendous untapped potential, especially with new materials and continuous processing, as Scott highlighted with real examples from gene and cell therapy applications.Bridging Lab to Market Needs Customer Focus: Getting new technology into commercial use requires not just technical innovation, but deep user engagement, robust feedback loops, and iterative improvement, plus ongoing education to help users understand new benefits.Embrace Experimentation and Global Collaboration: Whether building companies in Asia, Europe, or the U.S., Scott reminds us that learning from failure, being open to international collaboration, and not being afraid to try new things are essential for long-term growth (and enjoying the biotech journey along the way!).If you're passionate about downstream processing, tech innovation, or just want to hear inspiring leadership lessons, check out the full episode and connect with Scott Wheelwright or visit the company's website to follow his team's advancements.Connect with Scott Wheelwright:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/scottmwheelwrightWebsite: www.biochromatographix.comCurious about chromatography?

Skip ahead to 9:30 for Robin Williams content. We dive headfirst into the lightning-fast, unfiltered mind of Robin Williams's 2002 stand-up special, Live on Broadway. After a 16-year hiatus from major touring, Williams stormed the stage like a human cyclone. Was it improvised? Was it structured? This episode dives into whether the sheer volume of material and the relentless pace overshadowed the strength of the jokes themselves. Was it a brilliant display of Robin's unique mind, or did the "stream of consciousness" become a bit more of a facile chaotic torrent?So grab your water bottles, prepare for rapid-fire associations, and listen in as we try to keep up with the one, the only, Robin Williams.Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.
