The conversation explores the evolving perception of wealth and meaning, highlighting a shift towards purpose-driven initiatives among wealthy individuals like Musk and Gates. Taken from the article in the Economist, entitled the Ultra-rich Are Giving Up on Luxury Assets, it discusses how traditional symbols of wealth are losing significance as people seek deeper meaning in their financial pursuits. Takeaways People are starting to think differently about what is meaningful. Owning luxury items does not equate to personal meaning anymore. Wealthy individuals are focusing on greater purposes for their money. Musk and Gates exemplify this shift towards purpose-driven wealth. The current transitional period is reshaping our understanding of wealth. Eradicating world hunger and space exploration are new priorities. Meaning is becoming more important than material possessions. The conversation reflects a broader societal change in values. Wealth is being redefined in terms of impact rather than ownership. Purpose-driven initiatives are gaining traction among the wealthy.

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen dive into a massive week across fighting, comedy, and culture — starting with Islam Makhachev's dominance at welterweight and why nobody in the top 10 can solve the problem at 170. From Shavkat, Ian Garry, Michael Morales, and Belal Muhammad to Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria potentially moving divisions, the boys break down every realistic path to beating Islam.Brendan also recaps Tiger's elite Texas flag football team — a squad of freak athletes, former NFL-dad genetics, and opponents who look “twelve going on Saquon Barkley.” They talk youth sports intensity, insane matchups, and playing at Dallas Cowboys facilities.Then the guys react to UFC 322: Shevchenko vs Zhang, JDM vs Islam, the wild grappling chess match, Craig Jones' prep, and what it really takes to close distance on a Dagestani wrestler.The episode takes a hard turn when Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk over his wealth. Brendan and Bryan break down why “fixing world hunger” isn't as simple as writing a check, the realities of global infrastructure, and how celebrity activism often oversimplifies complex issues.Finally, they cover the Aakash Singh situation — viral clips, oversharing, backlash, Myron Gaines' response, and why internet dog-piling is brutal for comedians.One of the most packed TFATK episodes of the year — fights, drama, comedy, and chaos.

Economy EU cuts economic growth forecast for 2026 The European Commission has cut its forecast for the bloc's economic growth in 2026 amid risks posed by US tariffs and geopolitical tensions. In its twice-yearly outlook released on Monday, the European Commission said it expects the eurozone to grow by 1.2% next year, down from 1.4%, and the broader EU to grow by 1.4% instead of 1.5%. It added that the downgrade reflects higher-than-expected US tariffs on EU exports and uncertainty over possible further US moves.

Extrapolating with some simple math that implies a monthly drop of 10,000 jobs... While job growth is admittedly sluggish, ADP reports that new hires are on the upswing: In October, new hires accounted for 4.4 percent of all employees, ADP payroll data shows, up from 3.9 percent a year ago. This growing share of new hires would seem to run counter to the slowed pace of hiring. That contradiction tells us a lot about today's jobs market. New hires typically fluctuates with the business cycle, but the aging U.S. workforce means that demographics have begun playing a bigger role in hiring decisions.

WOTUS defines which waters fall under this federal jurisdiction—things like rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands. The definition has been contentious for decades because a broader one means more federal oversight (e.g., requiring permits for development, farming, or industrial activities near those waters), while a narrower one shifts more control to states and reduces regulations on private land use. What is the Sackett decision?In the 2023 Supreme Court case Sackett v.

What is the greatest sentence ever written? According to Walter Isaacson — former editor of Time, ex-CEO of CNN, and the acclaimed biographer of Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, and Jennifer Doudna — it's this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yes, it's eloquent, but more than that, it gave the United States a mission statement, one that we are still striving — fitfully, imperfectly — to meet. Walter's new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, unpacks that mission statement: how it came to be written, what it meant to the founders, and why it matters today. We're pleased to announce that we've chosen it as our latest selection for the Next Big Idea Club. That means current members will receive a copy in the mail any day now, along with a digital reading guide, the opportunity to discuss the book with fellow members in our WhatsApp community, and an exclusive invitation to a live Q&A with Walter in December.

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.

Matt Dalio, founder and CEO of Endless Studios, joins host Mike Palmer to explore the profound connection between games, technology, and workforce development. Matt, who grew up with an early global perspective—including a transformative year in China at age 11—brings his philanthropic drive to the world of scalable tech solutions . We dive into how Matt's company, Endless, initially focused on providing computers in emerging markets, realized that skills are what truly pay the bills. A simple math game, Tux Math, engaged students in a way traditional instruction could not, with classrooms full of kids shouting multiplication tables . The even bigger revelation? Many top tech entrepreneurs, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, started by hacking their games . Matt asserts that the goal is to transform kids from consumers to creators. We discuss how game creation, using tools like Unity and GitHub, develops five core, high-value disciplines: coding, design, digital art, management (product/project), and marketing/business analysis . These skills translate directly into a modern, AI-augmented workforce, where the ability to architect and validate production software is crucial. Key Takeaways: From Consumption to Creation: We need to move young people from passively using smartphones (consumption devices) to actively creating with devices that have a keyboard and mouse (creation devices), fostering a "lean forward" mindset . The Power of Hacking and Games: Learning starts when it becomes more fun to hack your games than to play them, leading to the development of deep, technical understanding. Five Core Disciplines: Game design is a launchpad for learning highly employable, durable skills in coding, design, digital art, management, and go-to-market business analysis . A New Model for Learning: The future of education involves immersing students in real projects on collaborative platforms like GitHub, replicating the workforce environment to teach mindsets like autonomy, agency, and teamwork . AI and the Future Developer: AI is a powerful tool, but it demands new skills: prompt engineering, chaining agent tools, and knowing how to architect, read, and debug production-level code to avoid technical "slop" and security issues. Why You Should Listen: The gap between traditional education and the demands of the AI-driven workforce is wider than ever. You'll hear Matt's global perspective on the rising number of high school students choosing not to pursue costly college degrees and the hunger for education in emerging markets. We discuss how the allure of video games—where the average kid spends 10,000 hours by graduation—can be channeled into productive, skills-building creation time . Matt shares an example of a Peruvian student who used his new skills to build a video game for rural communities to preserve their local language, illustrating the real-world, positive impact of this new educational approach . Listen to understand the model that could prepare the next generation to be "superhumans empowered by AI" .

What if changing what kids eat at school could transform their behavior, boost learning, and even save lives? Studies show that when kids swap junk food for real, nourishing meals, behavior problems drop, focus improves, and learning soars—with one study finding a 100% reduction in suicides among youth simply by changing their diet. Across the country, schools are proving that scratch-cooked, colorful meals made from whole ingredients can fit tight budgets, reduce waste, and make kids excited to eat. By putting nutritious food at the center of education, we can help raise a generation that's healthier, happier, and ready to learn. In this episode, Jill Shah, Sam Kass, Kimbal Musk, and I talk about the powerful connection between nutrition and education, showing that healthy school meals can transform not just kids' diets but their futures. Jill Shah is the President of the Shah Family Foundation, which drives innovative work at the intersection of education, healthcare, and community in Boston. Her leadership focuses on improving access to healthy school food, supporting neighborhood food equity, and fostering collaboration between schools and healthcare to strengthen children's physical, emotional, and social well-being. Before launching the foundation, Jill was a successful entrepreneur involved in several internet startups, including iXL, RxCentric, and Mercator Software, and later founded Jill's List, which she sold to MINDBODY in 2013. A graduate of Providence College, she now serves on the boards of the Red Sox Foundation, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Museum of Fine Arts, Belmont Hill School, and the Winsor School. Jill's commitment to community innovation has earned her honors such as the Boston Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Bostonian Award and the Playworks Game Changer Award. Sam Kass was senior policy advisor for nutrition policy in the Obama Administration and is currently an investor in several food technology start-ups. One of Michelle Obama's longest-serving advisors, Sam was the executive director of her Let's Move initiative and helped create the first major vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and was trained by one of Austria's greatest chefs, Christian Domschitz. Kimbal Musk is the co-founder of The Kitchen, an American bistro with restaurant locations in Boulder, Denver, Chicago, and soon Austin. Now marking its twentieth anniversary, The Kitchen serves thoughtfully sourced, Seasonal American Shared Plates with global influences. Musk is also the co-founder of Big Green, a philanthropic organization devoted to getting every American growing food. His personal mission is to empower and invest in the next generation who are building a healthier, happier future. The Wall Street Journal has called him a "cheerful crusader for real food," and The Guardian has lauded how he “takes the tech entrepreneur ethos and applies it to food.” Musk has been named a Global Social Entrepreneur by the World Economic Forum. Musk currently sits on the board of Tesla Inc. and formerly served on the board of Chipotle Mexican Grill and SpaceX. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Senator Bernie Sanders joins Ben Meiselas to issue a stark warning about the accelerating AI revolution and how it could upend America as we know it. From the loss of tens of millions of jobs to the unchecked power of tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, Sanders breaks down the catastrophic risks that politicians and the media refuse to confront. He explains why working people across the country, young and old, are sounding the alarm long before Washington does, and what solutions we must fight for now to prevent an era where billionaires prosper while everyone else is left behind.

Starlink: Funding the Mars Vision through LEO Constellations. Eric Berger discusses Starlink, a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites designed to fund Musk's Mars vision. While the idea wasn't new, deploying thousands of satellites for global internet was previously viewed as impractical due to manufacturing and launch rate limitations. Starlink, now highly successful with about 7,000 operational satellites, minimizes lag compared to geostationary systems like Iridium. This revenue stream is critical to supporting the company's goals, although the work environment demands extreme dedication from employees who often sacrifice personal lives. Guest: Eric Berger.
Achieving Reusability and Navigating Launch Failures. Eric Berger reports that in December 2015, SpaceX demonstrated reusability with the successful launch and vertical landing of the Falcon 9 Full Thrust at Landing Zone 1. The launch utilized densified propellant, requiring a tight launch window. The risky landing involved the Air Force approving a rocket with fuel returning over expensive real estate, despite concerns from groups like the National Reconnaissance Office. However, three weeks before his Mars speech, the Amos 6 satellite was violently destroyed during fueling in September 2016. Elon Musk favored an unfounded "sniper theory" to explain this failure. Guest: Eric Berger.
Dragon Spacecraft Development and Reusability Focus. Eric Berger explains that SpaceX needed NASA contracts to fund its Mars ambition. NASA provided critical funding in 2006 and 2009 for the Dragon spacecraft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station, replacing retiring vehicles like the Space Shuttle. Dragon was designed for recoverability and reuse, incorporating propulsion into the capsule itself, which increased complexity. Under pressure from Musk's impatience, SpaceX combined two critical test missions, C2 and C3, in 2012, ultimately succeeding due to a brave decision by a NASA flight director to allow on-the-spot software changes. Guest: Eric Berger.
Developing and Launching the First Falcon 9. Eric Berger recounts the difficult summer of 2009 preparing the first Falcon 9 booster, featuring nine Merlin engines housed in an octagonal web. Engineers endured intense 100-hour weeks handling complex wiring and propulsion plumbing. The subsequent road trip from Texas to Florida was arduous, including crashing the rocket's interstage into a building. Despite severe issues, like storm-fried antennas, an impatient Elon Musk pushed for a successful launch in June 2010, securing potential NASA contracts. Guest: Eric Berger.
Musk's Audacious Mars Colonization Vision. Eric Berger discusses Elon Musk's remarkable September 2016 speech in Guadalajara outlining the colonization of Mars. Musk proposed building a self-sustaining colony requiring landing a million tons of equipment using a fully reusable massive rocket. This vision, described as audacious and like science fiction, revealed the company's true intent: establishing a second civilization to prevent species extinction, informing every subsequent step taken by SpaceX. Guest: Eric Berger.
Patrick weaves together commentary from Elon Musk on humanoid robots and their impact on society with listener questions about Catholic practices, exploring everything from the future of AI in healthcare to personal tales of spiritual encounters at home. Questions on confession, salvation, forgiveness, and the meaning of faith ripple through. Tension hums beneath the surface as Patrick challenges outside perspectives on Church tradition, technology, and what it means to live with meaning in a rapidly changing world. Audio: Elon - Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon and will end poverty (00:19) Angela - Is it okay to use the 'peace sign' at mass? (05:51) John - Our Parish priest used blessed salt to bless our house. Can you explain blessed salt? (10:55) Bill (email) - During the communion rite at Mass, the congregation recites a short passage, "Lord, I am not worthy....." just before the priest consumes the bread and wine. What is the origin of that passage? (21:34) Todd (email) - How does someone outside the catholic faith that can’t go to confession receive forgiveness after committing a mortal sin? If they are sorry for that sin, is that enough or are they destined for hell? (25:59) Mark - Do you believe that the Protestant request for forgiveness is rejected? (37:48) Wally - I was in line for Communion. I dropped the Eucharist and picked it up. The priest took it and ate it and gave me another one. (48:40)

130 IPOs from over 400 startups. IVP is now in its 18th fund, with companies like Perplexity, Glean, Slack, Figma, Twitter, Uber, and Abridge in its portfolio. Somesh Dash, general partner at the 45-year-old firm, has been part of IVP for more than 20 years.We start with something we are both passionate about, building in the US-India corridor. Somesh talks about the group of people who put the silicon in Silicon Valley, the immigrants. From Andy Grove to Elon Musk to Chennai-born Aravind Srinivas.He recalls the first time he met Aravind at a WeWork, when Perplexity had just 20 employees and a beta product or how Dylan (Founder of Figma) had the vision nobody else had on the future of design, way before ai. The early signals Somesh saw in these founders, long before any signs of massive success were visible. He also talks about the companies they missed, giants like DoorDash, OpenAI, and Anthropic.Though this seasoned investor truly believes in AI, he says the sector is due for a correction. The bubble will burst. Most Gen 1.0 AI companies are unlikely to reach billion-dollar valuations or go public. But as always in tech, the lessons from this first wave will shape Gen 2.0 companies. And the teams that understand and adapt from this early wave will build the next generation of successful AI companies. Also, when the bubble bursts, that's the time to invest.

Wayne tested flight insurance over a single weekend with a WordPress site and Google ads. When people tried to pay, he showed a fake error message. The result: 15.9% conversion.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the implementation of tax payer funded government grocery stores proposed for all boroughs of New York City by newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani. This proposal is not new. It has been promoted by the World Economic Forum for over a decade and previously as we reported 2 years ago, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called for government run grocery stores as well. This is the introduction to a technocratic system of governance where one is not just dependent on grocery stores for food which is dangerous already, but people will be dependent on the government for food. Part of the normalization of food dependence on the state as we walk in unison towards a technocratic food rations system based on social credit scores via digital IDs. It is not a coincidence that inflation has made food unaffordable, programs have been cut, desperation is high and there are shortages across the board. It's also not a coincidence that governments are cracking down on both farmers and truckers, devastating the supply chain. None of this is coincidence. For them to come in with this government grocery store system is all too convenient. In New York City, there are already stores where you have to tap your credit card and pay just to enter. Biometrics are being rolled out across the board. NYC has even proposed food police to restrict what people buy based on the government's standard of "health" which we all know is backwards on purpose. As we see food lines, it is also convenient that one year ago, 193 countries signed onto the UN Pact For The Future which allows the government to shut down your bank account if you say something they don't like and it also can force you into a social credit system with food rations. All they need is an "emergency order." Add in the recently mandated digital IDs in the UK as well as the digital ID and biometric rollout in over 100 countries at the same time, if this doesn't seem nefarious to you yet, give your head a shake... Zohran Mamdani who promotes socialist policies and was literally an actor is all just part of the theater. This goes for the left and right sides of the pepsi-coke paradigm. President Trump is rapidly pushing technocratic policies. As is Elon Musk. They're utilizing manufactured crises on both sides to push this anti-human movement on you, out of desperation. They're dependent on your dependence and most people are incredibly dependent. Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience so that is what they're offering. At your own peril. Prepare yourselves.

As Elon Musk edges toward an eye-watering new milestone, the idea of a trillionaire sparks more fear than fascination on the left. But what if extreme wealth could accelerate progress rather than hoard it? In this essay, James Price, Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute, argues that visionaries like Musk and other billionaire entrepreneurs reinvest their fortunes in projects that governments could never deliver—from AI-driven education to medical breakthroughs and space exploration. The result, he suggests, is a private sector more capable of solving humanity's biggest problems than any public institution.

Elon Musk is brilliant, erratic, obsessive—and, yes, deeply human. In this episode of The MISOGI Method, Jody B. Miller unpacks Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography and the audiobook that reveals Musk's true mission: not fame or fortune, but the survival of our species. From rocket launches to personal failures, this is the story of a man who pushes limits for one reason—he cares about humanity.Please note: I recorded this while on a 3 hour walk and after I finished the book.@elonmuskAudio BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-misogi-method-experience-a-new-comfort-zone--2910681/support.

Wer kennt sie nicht: die Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia mit ihren über 60 Millionen Beiträgen in über 300 Sprachen. Sie verspricht, neutral und objektiv das Wissen der Menschheit zu sammeln. Nicht alle glauben an das Versprechen. Elon Musk hat mit «Grokipedia» vor Kurzem ein Gegenprojekt lanciert. Jimmy Wales liebte schon als Kind Enzyklopädien – und er war ein Computernerd. Mit viel Wagemut, Know-how und «pathologischem Optimismus», wie der US-Amerikaner und Wahlbrite von sich sagt, hat er das grösste frei zugängliche Online-Nachschlagewerk der Welt geschaffen, mit dem heute auch viele KI-Modelle trainiert werden. Für Wales gibt es nichts Grossartigeres, als die Welt zu verstehen und das Wissen zu bewahren und um möglichst viele Perspektiven zu erweitern. Deshalb arbeitet das Unternehmen nicht kommerziell und unabhängig von Werbung. Doch der «Tempel für den Geist» wird immer wieder attackiert – nicht nur von Elon Musk, sondern auch von seinem ehemaligen Mitstreiter Larry Sanger, die Wikipedia eine linksliberal geprägte Voreingenommenheit nachsagen. Jimmy Wales glaubt dennoch an sein Werk und wirbt in seinem soeben erschienenen Buch «Die 7 Regeln des Vertrauens» für den Glauben an die Kraft der Kooperation.
This week: FHFA director Bill Pulte convinced Trump to back 50-year mortgages with some posterboard and a photo of FDR. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck, discuss why Trump's post about 50-year mortgages angered conservatives – officials and voters alike – and why they're more of a hindrance than a solution to the housing crisis. Then, the White House is considering limiting the power of proxy advisers and index-fund managers on shareholder voting. The hosts explain what this would mean for shareholders and how billionaires like Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon, vocal opponents of these firms, stand to gain even more power if they do. Then finally, Robinhood has announced a new service that delivers cash to your door and the hosts ponder the use cases and mechanics of such a thing.
