In this episode, we explore St Thomas Aquinas' Second Way, also known as the Argument from Efficient Causality. This is a classic cosmological argument for the existence of God.Aquinas begins with a simple observation: everything we encounter in the world has a cause. Houses are built by builders, paintings are painted by artists, and trees grow from seeds. But if every cause depends on another cause, where does the chain ultimately begin? Aquinas argues that there must be a First Efficient Cause that gives existence and causal power to everything else.In this episode, we discuss: What an efficient cause is Why nothing can be the efficient cause of itself The difference between temporal and hierarchical chains of causation Why Aquinas rejects an infinite regress of essentially ordered causes Peter Kreeft's "borrowed book" analogy How the Second Way differs from the Argument from Motion What Aquinas means by a First Efficient Cause Why this argument points toward God's existence without yet establishing every Christian belief about GodThis episode is part of our series on St Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways and the classical arguments for the existence of God. Whether you're interested in philosophy, Catholic theology, apologetics, metaphysics, or the relationship between faith and reason, I hope these episodes help make Aquinas' thought more accessible and encourage you to explore these remarkable arguments for yourself.SUPPORT THE PODCASTThis podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Juan Verhook, founder of Tender Market, for a second conversation that ranges from the mechanics of European public tenders to the future of how we organize digital information. They cover how Tender Market helps smaller companies work around barriers like SOC 2 and ISO certification requirements, the surprising scale of public procurement (roughly 20% of GDP), and how AI and machine learning are reshaping the bidding process. From there the conversation opens up into bigger territory: the changing tolerance for being wrong in an AI-saturated information landscape, how language and culture shape perception, the reverse Turing test and the challenge of verifying human versus AI identity online, and Juan's daily workflow running eight or nine MCP servers through Claude Code. They close out talking about whether the folder and file system will survive the shift to AI-native interfaces, tying back to Stewart's own Stewart Squared episodes on the history of the PC. You can visit Tender Market at tendermarket.eu.Timestamps05:00 — Tender Market's origin story and how they help smaller companies work around SOC 2 and ISO certificate barriers.10:00 — Public procurement and its scale, roughly 20% of GDP, plus a look at public-private partnerships.15:00 — Local LLMs on a plane with no Wi-Fi, and comparing local model performance to frontier models.20:00 — Supply versus demand in AI infrastructure and whether hyperscaler token efficiency is quietly improving.25:00 — Whether AI will replace knowledge work tasks, and the shifting reality of what lawyers and other professionals actually do.30:00 — Reverse Turing test, digital identity verification, and the idea of a "pre-AI internet."35:00 — Model poisoning, RLHF, and the difference between pretraining and post-training.40:00 — Interleaved tool calling and how Tender Market ties pricing to task deliverables instead of billable hours.45:00 — RAG versus fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and when context windows actually matter.50:00 — Deterministic programming versus probabilistic agents, and when to build custom tools versus buy existing ones.55:00 — Juan's daily MCP stack (Supabase, GitHub, Calendly, CRM), and whether the folder-and-file system will survive the shift to AI-native interfaces.Key InsightsCertification requirements aren't dead ends—they're routing problems. When smaller companies got rejected from tenders for lacking SOC 2 or ISO certificates, Juan didn't turn them away. He found that EU procurement rules allow bidding as a consortium or subcontracting to a certified partner, turning a disqualifier into a workaround that builds trust with clients.Public procurement is a massive, underexamined market. Roughly 20% of GDP flows through public purchasing of private-sector goods and services, yet most people have no visibility into how tenders work or how governments post and award these contracts.Being wrong has become more socially acceptable. Juan traced this shift to the falling cost of information: in the Stack Overflow era, giving a wrong answer was costly, but now that answers are instant and abundant, both mistakes and corrections happen faster, changing how people learn and communicate.Task-based pricing beats hourly billing for AI-era services. Rather than charging per hour, Tender Market prices around the deliverable, winning a tender, which avoids the perverse incentive of hourly billing to be inefficient and instead rewards actually solving the client's problem.RAG and fine-tuning solve different problems. RAG helps a model reference large documents without hitting context limits, while fine-tuning changes a model's internal weights so it learns new behavior or style. Juan noted that true RAG use cases needing thousands of pages of context are rarer than the hype suggests.Deterministic code should replace repeated LLM calls once a pattern is found. Stewart described his own workflow: solve a task with an LLM a handful of times, then convert the repeated pattern into deterministic software so tokens are no longer spent on it, freeing the model for genuinely new problems.AI agents are never truly autonomous. Both hosts agreed that no matter how many steps an agent chains together, a human operator always initiates the first prompt, meaning accountability and intent trace back to a person even in multi-agent systems.
In this episode of The Agent of Wealth, co-host John Williams speaks with Phoenix Hafen, Partnerships Manager at UI Charitable, about the growing world of crypto philanthropy and the broader strategies that can make charitable giving more tax-efficient.Phoenix explains why appreciated assets — including Bitcoin, publicly traded securities, private business interests and real estate — can sometimes be more advantageous to donate than cash. He also breaks down how donor-advised funds (DAFs) work, why charitable bunching can be useful, and how donors can separate the timing of a charitable tax deduction from when the money is ultimately granted to a nonprofit.In this episode, you will learn:Why appreciated assets can be more tax-efficient to donate than cash.How Bitcoin is treated for charitable giving purposes.How donor-advised funds work and when a donor-advised fund may — or may not — make sense.How charitable assets can be invested and grow tax-free.Examples of unconventional philanthropic strategies.And more!Whether you regularly give to charity, hold highly appreciated assets or are simply looking for more strategic ways to approach philanthropy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on charitable giving.Resources:Episode Transcript & Blog | uicharitable.org | Bautis Financial: 8 Hillside Ave, Suite LL1 Montclair, New Jersey 07042 (862) 205-5000 | Schedule an Introductory Call
Wasim Osman: The Scrum Master as a Router, Redefining Success Through Efficient Communication Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "A big part of the Scrum Master role is to work as a router—handling a lot of conversations with a lot of different devices, even though the internet is coming in through one cable." - Wasim Osman For Wasim, success as a Scrum Master looks like a router in a house: many conversations, many stakeholders, all flowing through one point that has to prioritize, schedule, and stay on time. If the router slows down, everything downstream stalls—and the Scrum Master becomes the blocker. Early in his career he was overwhelmed juggling three or four engineering teams, so he built himself a personal Kanban board and ran his own quick standup every morning and again at the end of the day, just to see what moved, what stalled, and why. Getting organized with himself is when the work started to feel satisfying, because he stopped being the bottleneck. But he's honest about the hardest part: people rarely tell you to your face when you're slowing them down. The feedback is already there—you're just not hearing it. So you have to ask for it, react well when you get it (or people stop offering), and sometimes name the awkward truth first: "Our meetings used to be better—what happened?" That opening gives everyone permission to be honest. Self-reflection Question: If you're the "router" for your teams, where are you quietly becoming the bottleneck—and who would tell you if you were? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: What Went Well / What Went Wrong / Outliers + Open Discussion Wasim's go-to retrospective is deliberately bare-bones: what went well, what went wrong, and—the part that makes it his own—what were the outliers, followed by open discussion. He added the "outliers" question years ago after noticing that team members kept raising points that weren't clearly good or bad, but were still significant enough to discuss. Outliers give people "a bucket for sharing information that has no polarity"—an early signal about the future, a quiet concern, something that doesn't fit the other two columns but matters. He sometimes pairs it with lightweight metrics: sprint completion rate, or tickets that sat too long in review or QA, surfacing patterns the team wouldn't otherwise notice. Self-reflection Question: What "outlier" signal has your team been sitting on—neither a win nor a problem yet—that deserves an open conversation before it becomes one?

In 2025, over one-third of U.S. households skipped or cut back on medication, food, or other necessities to pay an energy bill. A quarter were unable to pay an energy bill in full, and in 2024, 2.7 million households had their utility service shut off due to non-payment.A lack of affordable housing, rising energy bills, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions threaten the health and wellbeing of all Americans.These interconnected problems won't go away on their own. Energy prices are likely to keep going up. But despite volatility and upward pressure on energy prices, there is still a lot that Minnesota's decision makers can do to keep bills from skyrocketing.One of the best policy tools we have to address these problems is the energy code: by making our homes more energy efficient, we can also make them more affordable and emit fewer climate-polluting gases.In this podcast episode, Eric Fowler and Isak Kvam go deep on why efficient homes are affordable homes and what role the energy code has to play.Additional reading from the Fresh Energy blog:Efficient homes are affordable homes, Pt. 1Efficient homes are affordable homes, Pt.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is on trial for three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity — severe postpartum psychosis, made worse, he says, by psychiatric overmedication.Today moved fast, and not because the details got smaller. Clancy stipulated to a batch of facts — the kind of move that saves the prosecution from parading witness after witness just to establish a chain of evidence nobody's actually disputing. Efficient. Doesn't mean easy to sit through.Dr. Cristina Carpio, a general surgeon at South Shore Hospital, testified about treating Clancy for the fall and the spinal injury that followed — the injury that's left her paralyzed from the waist down. Then Massachusetts State Trooper Joseph Rabbitt took the stand and walked the jury through what investigators found in the kitchen that night: medication bottles. Multiple. He testified that Patrick Clancy brought additional bottles into the house in February — and detailed exactly how much medication was left in each one when police counted.That's not background noise. That's the defense's whole architecture, one pill bottle at a time.Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened. He's since relocated to Manhattan and spoken to The New Yorker about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court, expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when every silo optimizes itself but nobody optimizes the whole system?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick unpack the central paradox of construction AI: if 500 AI estimating tools, AI scheduling tools, and AI design tools are all saving contractors 20-30% in their respective silos, why aren't buildings getting cheaper? The answer: all the waste lives in the interoperability, not the individual workflows. Walmart didn't get cheap by optimizing their suppliers in isolation. They engineered the entire supply chain to comply with their rules. Until someone does that in construction, everyone just gets more profitable in their own lane.The conversation covers DroneDeploy's $800M acquisition by Procore (good outcome for the industry, bad news for customers who loved the product), why reality capture might actually kill BIM by creating a historical archive of actual buildings that AI can train on to design new ones, and why the SaaS pricing model is quietly breaking apart at the feature level. KP is currently negotiating enterprise software, named the AI-native competitor, and the incumbent offered practically free. The switching costs that kept SaaS sticky for a decade are gone. AI agents migrate your data now. No Deloitte implementation required.Key questions answered:If AI makes everyone more efficient, why aren't buildings getting cheaper?Why does all the waste in construction live in interoperability, not individual workflows?Who will be the first contractor to defect from the prisoner's dilemma and price 20% lower?What does the DroneDeploy acquisition mean for Procore's hardware ambitions?Could reality capture kill BIM by training AI on 20,000 actual scanned buildings?Why is the SaaS pie shrinking for the first time in tech history?How do AI-native companies use incumbent software against itself in pricing negotiations?Why did the AI-native competitor quote five years of service for what the incumbent charges in one year?Why are switching costs gone when AI agents migrate your data in minutes?Are public companies structurally incapable of innovating anymore?What happens to Procore and Autodesk now that they've both made major acquisitions?Why does Microsoft keep trying and failing to enter the AEC market?If you're a construction company wondering whether AI savings will ever show up in project costs, a founder trying to understand the exit landscape after DroneDeploy, or negotiating a software renewal and wondering whether to name drop an AI competitor, this episode will show you exactly where the leverage is and why the pricing power that built SaaS is gone.Listen now.

He's possibly more content currently than he's ever been, working a team of just thirty horses at the widely lauded Pakenham training centre. Half the team are pre-trainers for good friends, the other half racehorses owned by valued clients old and new. It hasn't been all beer and skittles for the Terang born trainer with recurring bouts of depression and one unfortunate run in with a senior steward during the infamous Aquanita Racing scandal that came to light in 2017. That misdemeanour cost John six weeks on the sidelines. You'll hear his side of the story on the upcoming podcast. John begins by acknowledging the merits of the state of the art Pakenham training precinct. He talks about his team of thirty horses and the pre-training support given him by fellow trainers. The veteran horseman talks of life on the farm at Terang in the 1950's. John talks of Terang's history in both thoroughbred and harness racing. He pays tribute to his remarkable parents Lindsay and Mary. His father died in 1993 at 95 years of age. His mother stayed around for much longer. John remembers friendships formed in schooldays that would introduce him to the racing game. He talks of the modest start he made as a trainer on the small property he'd purchased at Colac. John reflects on his very first win as a trainer and the unforgettable thrill of his maiden metropolitan win. You'll enjoy the trainer's reminiscences about the ageless Pressman's Choice and the betting plunge he landed with the horse in the 1991 Hamilton Cup. Few knew what dire financial straits he was in at the time. John fondly remembers his very first Gr 1 win with Jolly Old Mac. The trainer acknowledges the talents of Kenvain and Lady Jakeo, a star two year old filly of the early 90's. He hasn't forgotten the surprise phone call from jockey Greg Hall which led to an exciting overseas training stint. On returning to Melbourne after his 4 year Dubai experience, John received an unexpected offer from leviathan owner Lloyd Williams. He became private trainer for Williams from Flemington to begin with, and later from the owners' lavish Macedon Lodge training operation. John has one small regret about the Macedon Lodge experience revolving around Melbourne Cup winner Efficient. When his arrangement with Macedon Lodge ran its course, John opted to team up with young trainer Troy Corstens at Flemington under the Malua Racing banner. The four year partnership was both successful and harmonious. John relates the amazing story of a new Swedish owner and the acquisition of Linton, a horse he knew well from the Macedon Lodge days. A Gr 1 success would follow. He was more than happy to talk about his recurring battles with depression. He was able to bounce back from several low periods. Today, with the right advice and continued treatment he's on top of the problem. John looks back on the infamous Aquanita Racing scandal which resulted in multiple disqualifications. His horses were stabled in the same barn which would later bring him unwanted “fall-out”. It all came to a head when a senior steward scratched one of John's horses from a Gr 3 race. His subsequent outburst resulted in a six week suspension. He talks of two marriages and seven children, two of whom are heavily involved in racing- Tom as a jockey and trainer, Edward as race caller and TV presenter. We conclude the podcast by pressuring John to nominate a horse or two from his current team likely to visit the winner's circle in the near future. He suggests two mares who are already multiple winners, but far from finished yet. An enjoyable chat with one of Victoria's most respected horsemen. John Sadler tells it as it is.

In Part 2 of this conversation with Conor Heaney, founder of Optical Success Academy and owner of Jones & Co. in Manchester, Harbir and Conor continue their discussion on what it really takes to grow an independent optometry practice. Picking up from Part 1, they explore the difference between being efficient and being effective, and why some of the most meaningful improvements in a practice come from slowing down, becoming more intentional, and focusing on the experience you actually want to create for patients.Harbir shares more of what he has implemented at Clarity Eyecare after a year inside Optical Success Academy, including better team meetings, improved phone conversations, stronger follow-up, more Google reviews, and a clearer focus on attracting the right clientele. Conor explains why practice owners need a “North Star”: a clear understanding of who they want to serve and what kind of practice they want to build. From there, decisions around pricing, service, marketing, team training, and patient experience become much easier to align.The conversation also dives into team development, delegation, and the shift from doing the work of the optometrist to doing the work of the business owner. Harbir shares a valuable lesson about putting the right person in the right role, while Conor explains how developing your team can create more freedom, better service, and a stronger business. For practice owners who feel busy, stretched, or stuck in the day-to-day, this episode offers practical insight into how small habits and consistent implementation can create meaningful change.Key TakeawaysEffective beats efficient.The fastest or most efficient option is not always the best one. Sometimes slowing down, adding thoughtful service touches, and creating a better patient experience leads to stronger relationships, better word of mouth, and a more successful practice.Your ideal client should guide your practice decisions.Conor explains that when you are clear on who you want to serve, it becomes easier to make decisions around pricing, service, marketing, appointment flow, and team behaviour.Team development creates freedom.Harbir and Conor discuss how putting the right people in the right roles, trusting your team, and delegating more effectively can help both the practice and the practice owner grow.Free Report from Conor HeaneyConor is offering listeners access to his report, The Nine Keys That Unlock the Hidden Profits in Your Practice.

In what may be our last quiz, ever, Tom turns the tables and puts Don in the hot seat with a Wall Street Journal high-school personal finance quiz—covering the Magnificent Seven, Roth IRAs, TIPS, efficient markets, yield curves, market risk, and dollar-cost averaging. Don does reasonably well, but not without protesting a dubious “debt avalanche” question and getting tangled up in a couple of accounting and risk terms. After the quiz-show nonsense, the guys tackle a listener question from Joseph in Pennsylvania: should your stock/bond allocation be based on a fixed percentage of your portfolio, or should it be driven by how many years of spending you want buffered in safer assets? Tom and Don explain why the answer depends on more than just income needs—it also depends on your emotional tolerance for volatility, your need for growth, and the role fixed income plays in helping you stay invested when markets get ugly.0:22 Tom becomes quizmaster and introduces the Wall Street Journal high-school personal finance quiz2:12 Question 1: Which stock is not part of the Magnificent Seven?3:47 Question 2: Which retirement account does not require withdrawals at a certain age?5:09 Question 3: TIPS, STRIPS, Series I bonds, and inflation-adjusted principal6:58 Question 4: Debt payoff strategies and the disputed “debt avalanche” answer9:13 Question 5: Efficient market hypothesis10:12 Question 6: What an inverted/downward-sloping yield curve says about future rates11:25 Question 7: Return on equity math and a heavily leveraged company12:56 Question 8: What it means when net present value equals zero14:44 Question 9: Why putting your emergency fund in stocks creates market risk16:52 Question 10: Unsystematic risk versus broad market risk18:57 Question 11: Dollar-cost averaging20:06 Tom and Don wrap up the quiz and revisit the “debt avalanche” controversy21:11 Listener question from Joseph in State College, Pennsylvania21:34 Should bond allocation be based on a fixed percentage or on years of spending?22:07 Risk tolerance vs. risk profile: why income needs are only part of the equation23:26 Why a 5-year spending buffer in safer assets can make sense in retirement24:13 The emotional role of bonds and fixed income during market declinesQuestions?

Housing markets are constantly evolving, and success often comes down to adapting to changing conditions. While today’s environment looks different than it did just a few years ago, builders who understand local demand and make strategic decisions continue to find ways to grow. On this week’s episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio, Host Carol Morgan welcomes Geoff Deckelbaum, principal of SRP Lending, to discuss why disciplined planning and private lending continue to help builders and investors succeed in today’s Atlanta housing market. Private Lending Creates Opportunities in a Changing Market As traditional banks tighten lending standards, private lenders are giving qualified builders and investors another path to financing. Atlanta-based SRP Lending evaluates each project individually, helping clients move forward when conventional financing may not be the right fit. That relationship-driven approach allows experienced builders and investors to pursue projects that make sense for today’s market while maintaining sound underwriting standards. Demand Still Exists for the Right Product Many large production builders continue navigating slower sales and growing inventory, while buyer demand remains strong in established neighborhoods. Smaller builders are capitalizing on that demand by purchasing vacant lots or older homes and replacing them with new construction or thoughtfully renovated homes. “The opportunity is to go into a market where you can see that there’s pent-up demand,” Deckelbaum said. “If you deliver the right product, there are buyers for it.” Those trends reflect changing buyer preferences. Homebuyers increasingly seek move-in-ready homes and are willing to pay a premium for updated properties that don’t require immediate renovations or repairs. Let the Market Determine the Price Successful projects begin with the market, not the budget. Builders must first determine what buyers are willing to pay in a neighborhood, then evaluate whether construction costs support a profitable investment. Comparable sales, future competition and local demand should shape every project before construction begins. “You can’t price your end product based on your cost,” Deckelbaum said. “The market dictates your sales price.” By understanding both current inventory and upcoming competition, builders can better position their homes to sell while protecting their margins. Affordability Remains Front & Center Affordability continues to influence nearly every segment of the housing market, especially for first-time buyers. While Atlanta remains more affordable than many major metropolitan areas, the gap has narrowed considerably, which makes attainable housing increasingly important. Smaller builders often cannot offer the financing incentives available through national builders, so competitive pricing becomes one of their greatest advantages. Efficient floor plans, practical finish selections and thoughtful budgeting can help deliver quality homes at attainable price points. Pricing Realistically Protects Profitability Homes are taking longer to sell than they did just a few years ago, making carrying costs an increasingly important consideration for builders and investors. Interest payments, maintenance expenses and extended market time can quickly reduce profits. Pricing appropriately from day one not only improves the likelihood of a faster sale but also helps avoid the perception that something is wrong with the home after extended time on the market. “If you overprice it when you first list a house, buyers are almost going to penalize you until you drop the price below where you should have initially priced it,” Deckelbaum said. Looking Ahead to 2027 Market conditions are expected to remain relatively stable through the rest of 2026. If inflation eases and consumer confidence improves, lower interest rates could help accelerate housing demand in 2027. Until then, builders who understand local demand, price projects realistically and deliver move-in-ready homes will be best positioned for success. Even in a challenging market, thoughtful planning and disciplined execution continue to create opportunities. For more information about SRP Lending's financing solutions, visit www.SRPLending.com.

In this episode, the conversation focused on the transformative potential of quantum networks alongside the ever-prominent quantum computers. A key theme that emerged was how curiosity—rather than just advanced degrees—can open doors in the quantum industry. The discussion explored the path from complex mathematical curiosity to a career in quantum information science, highlighting how quantum communication is emerging as a crucial counterpart to quantum computing.Listeners will learn about the threats and opportunities presented by quantum technologies, including the significance of quantum key distribution (QKD) and the coming era of "Q Day," where classic cryptographic systems may become obsolete. The episode provides insights on the unique challenges of quantum networking infrastructure, the role of satellites, and why quantum communication remains an underappreciated area with immense potential. Several points were raised, including the tension between post-quantum cryptography and QKD, the fragmented approach to quantum infrastructure across nations, and the key industries that will drive adoption. If you're quantum-curious—whether you're a technologist, executive, or just fascinated by the future of secure communications—this episode breaks down the stakes, the science, and the paths forward in quantum networking.LinksCarlos on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlos-pascual-garc%C3%ADa-ph-d-8469b216b/Watch on YouTube - https://youtu.be/ohDtnOwYpHgTime Stamps00:00 Choosing a PhD in Quantum Communications06:44 Satellite communication and defense strategies10:03 Introduction to quantum cryptography11:27 Post quantum cryptography explained14:26 Challenges in communication authentication17:51 Quantum communication projects in the EU23:35 Efficient energy solutions for data centers27:18 Challenges of scaling quantum networks29:39 Challenges in Quantum Device Commercialization34:02 Challenges in setting tech standards35:57 Fragmentation in global security tech40:23 Challenges of microscale computations42:58 Julia's role in data science45:49 Quantum podcast with Candace and Frank
What if I told you the reason your practice isn't growing isn't your marketing, your team, or your patients—it's your systems?In this Five Minute Friday, I'm challenging orthodontists to take an honest look at their operational efficiency. Too many practices assume their systems are working simply because the practice is surviving. But surviving is not the same as scaling, and “good enough” might be exactly what's keeping you from building a more profitable, less stressful practice.I break down why bringing in the right technology and expert support early—whether it's remote monitoring, financial systems, scheduling, or front desk workflows—can save you time, reduce staffing dependency, and make your practice more profitable. This episode is a reminder that being penny-wise and pound-foolish with technology can cost you far more than the investment itself.

Hello! This is Episode 413. This is Way #13 of the ‘44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home’ series. And we’re still in Section Three: Sustainable Services and Infrastructure, and reviewing our hot water supply. For many homeowners, their decisions about their hot water unit can come in a flurry, and simply be based on what they know. Sometimes it can be handed to the plumber, as they recommend a system, you go with it. However, your hot water unit is a product that can last ten to fifteen years, and the selection you make locks in a significant amount of energy use and money each year you live in your home, so it’s worth considering the options before you specify. Way #13 is: Select an Efficient Hot Water Unit and Get the Plumbing Layout Right. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/413] Hot water accounts for approximately 23% to 25% of your home’s total energy use. That makes it the second largest energy consumer in your home after heating and cooling. In this episode, we’ll talk about the key differences between the main hot water system types, what to consider and avoid, why heat pump hot water units sometimes get a bad reputation and what the reality actually is, the plumbing layout decisions that can significantly reduce hot water waste, and the specific discussions to have with your team.

LIL #004: How the Ultra-Wealthy Actually Invest Their MoneyThe stock market isn't their strategy. It's their holding tank.

After a couple of months away from the podcast, I'm back behind the mic for a listener Q&A. In this episode, I talk about why I took a break, what I've been up to, and what's next for the podcast. I also answer questions on my return to BJJ, how my training has changed, getting great workouts in when you're short on time, and what parents can do to help maximize their kids' athletic potential without becoming overbearing sports parents. Plus, I share my thoughts on the UFC White House card and a few other topics along the way. Questions on the show: Q1: Hey Kyle, I really miss the podcast. Where have you been? I keep checking my feed, hoping for a new episode. Is the podcast done for good, or are you planning to bring it back? Q2: On one of the last podcast episodes, you mentioned getting back into BJJ. How has that changed the way you're training these days? Have you had to adjust your lifting, conditioning, or recovery? Q3: Hey Kyle, my life is busy right now, and most days I only have about 30 minutes to train. If you were in my shoes, how would you structure those workouts to get the best results possible? Q4: I recently reread your article on Long-Term Athletic Development. I don't want to be one of those over-the-top sports parents, but I do have a 10-year-old son, and I want to help him reach his potential. If you could give one or two pieces of advice to parents, what would they be? Q5: Did you watch the UFC card at the White House? If so, what did you think of the fights?

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor took the Consensus mainstage to unveil what he calls the killer app for Bitcoin: digital credit. Saylor explained how his company's STRC instrument, now the biggest and most liquid preferred stock in the world after just eight months, strips yield from Bitcoin's volatility to create an 11.5% tax-deferred return with near-zero volatility. He argued that digital credit is the missing bridge between Bitcoin and crypto, TradFi and DeFi, and that it opens the door to a new generation of yield coins that could transform the $350 billion stablecoin market and beyond. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Michael Saylor at Consensus Miami 2026 01:28 - How Digital Credit Works 04:47 - Bitcoin vs MSTR vs STRC Performance 07:27 - STRC Becomes The World's Biggest Preferred Stock 12:55 - The Bridge To Digital Money And Yield 18:27 - The DeFi Opportunity For Builders 19:46 - How Yield Coins Are Replacing Stablecoins 22:34 - Building The Future Of Digital Credit
