How To Build a Capital-Efficient Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors look for capital-efficient businesses to invest in. Founders looking to raise funding should first consider building a capital-efficient startup. Here are some key steps to building a startup that is capital-efficient: Look for a business opportunity that generates good revenue from the customer. The customer will pay a high price for the product. This often comes from a good product-to-market fit. The business runs efficiently and doesn't need a great deal of money to provide the product or service. Businesses in this category are considered frugal and spend carefully. Salaries are kept low, which raises the value of the equity of the business. The startup is in a high-growth market segment generating organic growth. The startup is highly scalable and doesn't need a great deal of capital to grow. Capital-efficient businesses in the long run should do better because they don't have to raise capital as often. Investors should look for these drivers in potential startup investments. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Efficiency is one of the most common goals financial advisors share, but very few can actually define what it means—or measure it. In this episode, Libby challenges the traditional metrics advisors often use to gauge success and introduces four simple KPIs that provide a much clearer picture of productivity, efficiency, and scalability. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly building a business that gives you more freedom, more impact, and better results without simply working longer hours, this episode will help you start tracking what really matters.In this episode, you'll learn:How to calculate your revenue per hour and why it's a more meaningful metric than revenue growth aloneThe client-facing ratio that reveals where your biggest opportunities for efficiency are hidingA simple framework for evaluating the impact of your value-add activities and client experience initiativesWhy tracking referrals can uncover the health of your client experience, service model, and planning processWhether you're a solo advisor or leading a growing team, these four KPIs can help you shift from working harder to working smarter. By focusing on the metrics you can actually influence, you'll gain clearer insight into where your time is going, what's creating the most value for clients, and how to build a more scalable practice.

In 2025, Cannes Lions was dampened by controversy after three awards were withdrawn over fabrication of case studies and concerns around their legitimacy.DM9's “Efficient way to pay” was retracted after the DDB agency was caught using AI to fabricate news coverage and misleading the jury. Two others Lions were also removed from the agency. In response, Cannes Lions updated the entry process and introduced a set of "integrity standards" to ban agencies for up to three years that submit "wilfully false" campaigns.Campaign's UK editor Maisie McCabe recently spoke to Cannes Lions on the new awards process and "necessary" reset to the standards. In this episode, Campaign's editorial team discuss how the awards will be different this year, both for those that have entered and the juries that are judging them, and what the industry makes of the changes. Plus, the team reveal how the Cannes Lions is making efforts to reduce bias in the judging rooms. Hosted by tech and multimedia editor Lucy Shelley, this episode includes McCabe, creativity and culture editor Gurjit Degun and reporter Eszter Gurbicz. It was edited by Haymarket's producer Inga Marsden.Further reading:Cannes Lions retires Creative Company of the Year AwardDecade-old Sainsbury's ad used in Gut's 2024 Media Grand Prix-winning case studyCannes Lions entries rise 'reflecting strong global participation'Icaro Doria steps down as co-president and CCO of DM9 following Cannes controversyAdland's ‘New Year's' resolution should be to revive its integrity at Cannes LionsMaybe Cannes Lions isn't capable of picking all of the best work Hosted on Acast.

Hello! This is Episode 407. This is Way #7 of the 44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home series, and we are continuing through Section Two: Sustainable Design Strategies. The ways in Section Two are about the bigger-picture decisions that shape a project from a strategic level, before we get into the detail of specific systems, materials, or construction. Way #7 is Creating an Efficient Structural Design, Collaboratively. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/407] In the last episode, we covered the importance of choosing an aligned team. This episode is about something that your aligned team needs to do together: create a structural design that is genuinely efficient. This Way #7 tends to surprise homeowners, because structural design often feels like something that happens in the background of a project and rarely gets discussed with the client directly. But the decisions made around your home’s structural design have direct consequences for cost, material use, durability and longevity, and consequently, the sustainability of your finished home. Whether those decisions are made in the most efficient way usually comes down to one thing: when and how your designer or architect and structural engineer collaborate and integrate their work. In this episode, I take you through what structural efficiency actually means, why it typically doesn’t happen by default, what collaborative structural design looks like in practice, and the questions worth raising with your own team. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/407. Now, let's dive in!

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman is joined by David Bertoli (aka “Davide”) for a deep, visual-first breakdown of how the golf swing actually works in 3D—not as frozen “positions,” but as moving phases driven by what the body is doing internally. David shares how his team built a 3D system that reveals the skeleton, muscles, and fascia in motion—so golfers and coaches can stop chasing a Rory/McIlroy “look” and start optimizing their movement pattern. A major focus is David's framework: the Six Phases of the Golf Swing, built around Center of Mass (COM) movement + Anatomy Trains / fascia chains. They explore why the pelvis is the engine, how COM moves (horizontally and vertically), why maximum unweighting matters for speed, and how “carefree” phase-based movement beats “careful” position-chasing every time. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why 3D changes everything: stop studying the club “outside,” start understanding the body “inside” ✅ The difference between positions vs phases (and why a golf swing is a “moving sculpture”) ✅ What Center of Mass actually is, where it sits, and why the pelvis is so tied to it ✅ How COM moves in an “almost infinity-sign” pattern (and why it anticipates the club) ✅ Why elite players get lower than address in transition (and how that fuels speed) ✅ What fascia is (and why the body is a “full web”) + how anatomy chains store/release energy  ✅ The Six Phases: from address → shaft parallel → pelvis rotation → top → max unweighting → impact → hands chest-high ✅ A huge myth at impact: why you should not try to open shoulders as much as the ribcage, and ✅ The “eccentric load” trio: core stretch, lead-shoulder stretch, lead-wrist stretch (and why thoracic rotation matters.)  Key Takeaways Stop copying positions. Many great swings look different—but the best swings move through similar phases. Pelvis movement predicts swing quality. If the pelvis (and COM) moves well, the rest organizes more naturally.  Speed requires going down before going up. The best players drop lower than address, then push up fast into impact. Fascia matters. Efficient golf is stored energy → redirected forces → released energy, not “hit the ball harder.” Carefree beats careful. When golfers chase positions, they get tense; when they move through phases, they flow.  After you have listened to this podcast, go to YouTube, search and subscribe to Mark Immelman and watch the show to see David's graphics and presentation of his golfswing research and how his "Phases of the Swing" work.

Kevin Mack, the new president of Via Licensing Alliance, joins Eli for the Clause 8 season finale.Kevin talks about Via's plans to build its next patent pools around "de facto" standards — technology the market adopted on its own, with no standards body behind it — which would push collaborative licensing into territory it has never touched. Mack also takes a hard look at the royalty-free models spreading through tech and AI, from AV1 to the new Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), argues that "free" rarely stays free, and explains why he's optimistic about where the patent system is heading.Kevin and Eli also discuss:*Via's model and the "tipping point" that turns a pool from a few licensors into thousands of licensees*"De facto" standards: pooling patents for technology no standards body ever blessed*Leadership turnover at Via, the HEVC pool's move to Access Advance, and a new strategy-and-growth group*The push into semiconductors, including a new DRAM memory program*AV1, SAIL, and why Mack thinks royalty-free rarely stays free*Whether AI patents are as "foundational" as advertised — and why "AI is not new"*Efficient infringement, patents as property rights, and why companies ultimately take a license*The mood out of Via's Rome summit and a US patent system tilting back toward ownersNotable names, companies & standardsPeople: Kevin Mack (president, Via Licensing Alliance); Heath Hoglund (former Via president); John Amster (Jamster Capital; RPX co-founder)Organizations: Via Licensing Alliance (Via LA), MPEG LA, Dolby, Access Advance, Alliance for Open Media, Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), WIPO (PatentScope), DOJ, USPTOSAIL founders / board (public): Anthropic, Genentech, IBM, Meta, Microsoft; board observers eBay and TD Bank Group; members include Block and FigmaStandards & technologies: AAC, AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), AV1, MPEG-2, Qi wireless charging, DRAM memory, SEP / FRANDDisclaimer This is a public episode.

MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. This series emphasizes productivity, provider performance, and team optimization to ensure we are at our best during high-pressure situations. In this episode, host Dr. Mark Ramzy chats with special guests and master educators about the concept of human factors.Dr. Chris Hicks is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and co-founder of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a physician-led simulation and design group. Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital, and Medical Director of the Unity Health Toronto Simulation Program. He’s an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto where his research focuses on simulation for systems and design improvement and optimizing the care of the bleeding patient. Along with Dr. Hicks, he’s also President of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a consulting firm that works with high-performance teams and uses simulation to enhance and design better healthcare spaces Cognitive Question How can the integration of human factors improve decision-making and performance in emergency medicine and critical care environments? ️What are Human Factors? In the context of healthcare, human factors encompass the interplay between humans, the systems they work within, and the effectiveness of their interactions. It includes elements like communication, system design, environmental conditions, and behavioral patterns affecting individual and team decision-making processes. It’s the collective impact of individual behaviors, team dynamics, and the physical environment on performance and outcomes. The aim is to eliminate issues arising from human error by creating systems and environments that naturally guide and support optimal performance. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? Efficient integration of human factors in high-pressure settings like the Emergency Department (ED) or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) helps mitigate the risks associated with stressful and chaotic environments. By focusing on system designs that account for human behavior, healthcare professionals can reduce errors, enhance team coordination, and ultimately improve patient care. This is crucial as teams are often required to make rapid, life-saving decisions in these environmentsThe design of clinical spaces can either hinder or help efficient care. Poorly arranged equipment or cluttered workspaces increase stress and impede decision-making. Implementing structured design principles, such as dedicated equipment zones and clear visual cues, can streamline workflows and enhance team coordinationIt actually helps pave the way for more efficiency because you end up “working smarter instead of harder”.It speaks directly to the Daniel Kahneman’s theory of Type 2 Thinking – which is a slow, analytical cognitive process requiring deliberate thoughtWe’ll likely create a whole dedicated episode to this but if you want to read more ahead of time on it, check out his book Thinking, Fast and Slow ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Assess Your Environment**: Take note of any clutter, noise, or layout issues in your workspace that could hinder optimal performance. Identify problem areas that could be optimized.**Recognizable Hard-Stop** – Implement a “Stop-Point” Check for areas or issues that involve more than just patient safety (ie. workflow inefficiencies, sign-out, throughput, etc). Use predefined benchmarks during procedures to ensure clarity and efficiency.**Foster Open Communication** – Encourage an environment where every team member feels comfortable discussing their thoughts and decisions without fear of judgment.**Prototype Solutions** – Work with colleagues to identify problems and brainstorm quick, cost-effective solutions that could be tested in your department.**Role Clarity and Preparation** – Ensure roles are clearly defined and team members are prepared with necessary resources readily available during high-stakes scenarios.**Test and Refine** – Conduct quick pilot tests of new setups or processes during quieter times and gather feedback from your team. Conclusion Human factors play a critical role in shaping healthcare outcomes. Through structured system designs and attention to team dynamics, it is possible to reduce inefficiencies and enhance both patient care and provider well-being. It requires a shift in perspective from seeing design and systems as separate from human behaviors, to seeing them as intricately linked. By incorporating these principles, healthcare professionals can create environments that inherently support better, safer, and more effective patient care. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Incorporating human factors into healthcare isn’t just about preventing errors—it’s about creating an ecosystem where the healthcare team is empowered to perform at their best, even under the most challenging conditions. Implementing small, iterative changes can create a meaningful impact, paving the way for improved systems and processes. This starts by redesigning systems and environments with human factors in mind, which can significantly improve both the efficiency of care delivery and the safety of the healthcare environment.

Java's use of memory, often chided for being excessive, is actually a strength as it trades more memory use for fewer CPU cycles. Java can only make this tradeoff due to its moving garbage collectors, something more memory efficient platforms often cannot. But what's the point in leaving available memory on the table if using it makes your program run faster? Efficient use of that resource wouldn't be to leave it untapped but to use it to speed up the program. In this "Ask the Architect" episode of the Inside Java Podcast, recorded during JavaOne 2026, Nicolai Parlog talks to Ron Pressler, Java Architect at Oracle.

What if more "me time" isn't about finding more time - but using the time you already have, more intelligently? Michelle says this facial experience was truly different and relaxed her from head-to-toe. She loved that this facial experience, which incorporates a massage, had no packages, resulting in no pressure and no wasted time. We explore the rise of "efficient wellness" - a growing trend designed for busy professionals who want meaningful recovery without spending half a day at a spa. Michelle speaks with Sandra Chua, Founder and Head Therapist at House of Wellness, about combining face and body treatments into one customised session, and rethinking wellness around outcomes rather than routines. Drawing on her own experience of burnout as a former teacher, Sandra shares why stress relief is becoming just as important as beauty treatments. Michelle also reflects on her own experience with the service.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tackle priority and Blake Miller's floor The Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on why offensive tackle felt likely going into the NFL draft. The class at tackle was top heavy. Options like Morgan Freeling and Proctor were in the mix. Detroit landed Blake Miller. Miller brings more than 50 plus starts. He shows lateral quickness for a big frame. The question is ceiling. Can he become a dominant force or is he a steady pro? The discussion leaned toward a very respectable starter. Solid baseline. Reasonable risk. Clear need met. Derek Moore's motor and rush upside Derek Moore drew differing opinions after Senior Bowl looks. The tape shows a high motor. Power at contact. Strong, active hands. He finishes when he wins early. The rush potential pops more than the all around game right now. That profile still checks Lions boxes. Effort. Physicality. Inside hands. Moore fits the rotation and can scale up if the pass rush package tightens. The bet is on juice and refinement. The value aligns with where Detroit picked. Nickel value, late finds, and roles Keith Abney was the surprise slider, landing at 157. Short, not small. Instinctive. Natural mover in coverage. Some label him a nickel only. That role matters. In today's NFL, the nickel is a twelfth starter. Detroit's corner group has battled injuries. There are questions about Branch health. The pick matches need and value. Jimmy Rolder brings Michigan production despite a short starting run. Efficient and smart. A clean GPS to the football. That helps special teams and depth right away, with room to grow on defense. Kendrick Law offers a defined path. Many of his catches came behind the line. He is a YAC threat. He did not always maximize his gifts, but the special teams prowess can track a roster spot while the route tree expands. Inside, Tyree West arrives from Tennessee at defensive tackle. The room adds a penetrator type in Skylar Gil Howard out of Texas Tech. That pairing gives the front more get off and disruption angles in sub packages. This Detroit Lions draft matched the board to the blueprint. Tackle security with Miller. Rush traits with Moore. Nickel utility with Abney. Role clarity for Law, West, and Skylar Gil Howard. A respectable class that fits how the Lions want to play. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #2026nfldraft #blakemiller #ericedholm #lionsdefense #ennisrakestraw #benjohnson #nfcnorth #nflpowerrankings Learn more about your ad choices.

On December 5, 2022, researchers at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a landmark breakthrough in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF), producing an energy output that exceeded the laser input for the first time. The success of an ICF experiment hinges on multi-stage lapping and polishing of fuel capsule shells to nanometer-scale finish and devoid of major surface defects. This talk presents our work with LLNL on assuring surface quality of the fuel capsule shells. Rare surface defects, such as deep pits, can severely degrade ICF performance. Exhaustive inspection across multiple finishing stages to detect these defects is both cost- and time-prohibitive. Conventional scalar surface quality quantifiers fail to capture the manifestation of rare surface pits. We investigated novel inspection strategies that substantially reduce measurement burden while retaining confidence in defect-risk estimation. Here, we impose a multivariate probabilistic bound on pit distribution estimation error to determine the minimal number of surface scans needed to guarantee a specified confidence level. This enables reliable assessment of deep pit risk using approximately 5 – 6 scans (a 5- to 10-fold reduction), thereby substantially reducing the inspection time per shell at each finishing stage. These challenges also motivate the need to move beyond reactive, post-process inspection toward proactive, process monitoring methods that can detect and mitigate the process anomalies that lead to these defects. In this context, we leverage generative machine learning methods conditioned on polishing process parameters combined with shell tracking to identify deviations from expected motion patterns that may lead to surface defects. We also introduce a deep learning model that can track the evolution of pit populations across the polishing stages, capturing rare-event manifestations that scalar surface quantifiers miss. Predictive insights from these models inform possible triaging of at-risk parts and more informed process planning decisions. Taken together, these contributions illustrate how integrating inspection efficiency, process understanding, and predictive decision support can advance manufacturing quality control in settings where rare anomalies and high-consequence requirements demand more than conventional approaches.

Ravens video reveals a Lions trade that vanished Ravens Wired captured a draft-night framework between Baltimore and the Detroit Lions. The Ravens held pick 14. Detroit explored jumping from 17 to grab their guy. In the room were Eric DeCosta and Ozzie Newsome. As the board shifted, you can hear DeCosta say, “the deal's off.” The Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down how it unraveled and why Detroit stayed put. Picks 12 and 13 scrambled the board Action accelerated at 12. Miami and Dallas swapped. Dallas took Caleb Downs. Miami slid back and selected Caden Proctor. The Rams at 13 then grabbed Ty Simpson, a move that stunned more than Baltimore. That flurry reset expectations at 14. Detroit, according to Brad Holmes' explanation, believed no one ahead would take Blake Miller. That confidence held. The Lions did not move. What Detroit kept by not moving The reported framework from Ravens Wired: the Lions would have sent 17, a fourth-rounder at 118, and a 2027 third. Earlier in the process, Detroit also discussed offering two fourths plus 17 to the Rams at 13. None of it proved necessary. Pick 17 became Blake Miller. Pick 118 became Jimmy Rolder. Baltimore, once the talks died, drafted Venga Venga Iwanee, the guard from Penn State. Would he have been there at 17? Maybe. Unclear. Rolder projects into the linebacker rotation battle. He will compete with Malcolm Rodriguez for the third or fourth linebacker snaps. Others will factor in as well. The 2027 third remains in Detroit's pocket. Next year's value in that range looks stronger, and the Lions tend to move third-rounders when the board dictates. Standing pat preserved options. Smoke, targets and positional fit There was league chatter about Detroit and Caden Proctor. The Dolphins are playing him at guard. The sense here: the Lions were not targeting a guard at 17 and certainly not trading up for one. That tracks with how Detroit operated when the board broke. One trusted voice had also relayed pre-draft that Detroit looked at moving way up for Reuben Bain. Whether that ever truly materialized is unknown. What is clear from the NFL tape on Ravens Wired and the cadence of picks at 12 and 13 is simple. Detroit held its water, landed Blake Miller at 17, kept Jimmy Rolder at 118, and retained a future third. Efficient. Calculated.

Are you stuck screening endless compounds in biosimilar development and still not hitting your quality targets? Efficient compound screening is one of the toughest bottlenecks in biopharma, with outdated methods slowing progress and risking critical quality attributes in monoclonal antibody development.David Brühlmann breaks down a practical, parallel framework for rapid compound screening that addresses interaction effects, masking, and data quality. Methods proven in challenging biosimilar development programs.Topics discussed:The historical bottleneck of one-at-a-time screening in drug discovery and the impact of high throughput methods (01:04)Problems with both one-factor-at-a-time and large design of experiments approaches when handling many variables (02:10)Description of the parallel group method: splitting 17 quality modulating compounds into five biologically relevant groups and running experiments in parallel (06:09)How grouping compounds by biological mechanism improves interpretability and experimental design (06:43)Strategies for minimizing dilution effects, toxicity risks, and masking in multi-factor screens (08:24)The importance of multivariate analysis: using principal component analysis (PCA), Mahalanobis distance, and decision trees to interpret and select optimal experimental conditions (10:31)Real-world outcomes: identifying optimal compound combinations in just two rounds of screening (15:20)Reflections on the evolving role of hybrid modeling and machine learning in biosimilar process optimization (15:54)In Part 2, the focus shifts to a hands-on approach, covering how to design compound groups based on biology, set concentration ranges without compromising data quality, and execute a 96-well screen with the rigor the method demands. It also highlights three key aspects that would be approached differently if the study were conducted today.Strategic insight:Effective compound screening shifts from one-at-a-time testing to biology-driven parallel grouping combined with multivariate analytics, enabling faster identification of optimal combinations while preserving data quality and capturing interaction effects.If you want more detail, you can read the full article “Parallel experimental design and multivariate analysis provides efficient screening of cell culture media supplements to improve biosimilar product quality” published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, which outlines the methods and findings behind this approach.If you're interested in hybrid modeling, here's what previous podcast guests have shared on the topic, offering perspectives from fundamentals to real-world applications.Episodes 05 - 06: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael SokolovEpisodes 99 - 100: From Raw Data to Actionable Insights: Unlocking the Power of Process Models with Fabian FeidlEpisodes 137 - 138: Skip 90% of Bioreactor Runs: The In Silico Revolution in Bioprocess Development with Yossi QuintEpisodes 173 - 174: Mastering Hybrid Model Digital Twins: From Lab Scale to Commercial Bioprocessing with Krist GernaeyNext step: If this was useful, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

This podcast audio was accidentally posted yesterday, so you might want to listen to our 4/29 episode, if you've already heard this one.A listener-inspired revisit of emerging markets investing—sparked by the legacy of Mark Mobius—highlights why most investors are dramatically underexposed to this critical asset class. Don and Tom explain that while emerging markets bring higher volatility and currency risk, they also offer diversification, access to faster-growing economies, and exposure you simply can't get from U.S. multinationals alone. The conversation reinforces a core principle: proper global diversification matters more than chasing returns, and for most investors, owning a broadly diversified fund is far more practical than trying to build a perfectly balanced portfolio piece by piece. Listener questions then tackle currency risk (don't worry about it) and expose the dangers of “hodgepodge” portfolios built from random ETF ideas—ending with a strong case for simplicity, discipline, and knowing the purpose behind every dollar invested.0:05 Long-forgotten topic returns: emerging markets investing0:26 Tribute to Mark Mobius and his emerging markets legacy1:00 Why most investors have never heard of him2:02 What emerging markets actually are (and why they feel risky)2:43 Franklin Templeton era and historical performance claims3:26 Efficient market skepticism vs. boots-on-the-ground investing3:42 The real issue: investors massively underweight emerging markets4:59 Long-term returns and the case for inclusion5:57 Volatility, crises, and why diversification still wins6:53 Portfolio reviews reveal almost no EM exposure7:25 The S&P 500 problem: what you're missing globally8:29 Why all-in-one funds (AVGE, DFAW) simplify everything9:40 Listener question: currency risk in international investing11:04 “We own international… right?” portfolio reality check12:16 Currency swings explained (and why you shouldn't obsess)13:55 Japan's lost decades as a diversification lesson15:24 Why global companies ≠ true international exposure17:53 RV nostalgia and listener banter19:21 $17K “play account” turns into portfolio chaos21:55 ETF overload and CNBC-driven investing behavior23:35 Why the portfolio has no coherent strategy24:36 Simple fix: target-date or total market approach25:13 The myth of “play money” in investing26:01 Complexity makes bad portfolios worse over time26:53 Why Talking Real Money stays audio-only27:33 Growth update and listener appreciationQuestions?

ENCORE CC469: An article about a mom asking for extra gifts for the birthday kid's sibling has left a bad impression on Kail and Lindsie. They talk about what they'd do and what they usually do when it comes to birthdays with multiples and during the holidays. A video of Bethenny Frankel saying she sometimes has to use curse words in an efficient way with her kids sparks an interesting conversation around why this generation of kids doesn't listen like previous ones.Also, a listener asks if she's wrong to feel upset after her step kids asked to bring food to their mom's house only to find out that the mom got mad and threw it away.For full videos head to patreon.com/kaillowry To send in your Foul Plays email us at info@coffeeconvos.comGet your Kitty Gang merch hereThank you for checking out our sponsors!RoBody: Find out if you're covered for free at ro.com/coffeeconvosProgressive: To get your auto insurance quote head to progressive.comZocdoc: Stop putting off those doctors appointments and go to Zocdoc.com/CONVOS to find and instantly book a doctor you love todayShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at SHOPIFY.COM/coffeeconvosSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
