Send us a textIt is an absolute pleasure to have Dr Maurice Turmel on the show for a candid, relatable, and inspiring chat. Dr. Moe's path wasn't a straight one—it was hard-won. His father was physically abusive, and he grew up surrounded by strict Catholic indoctrination. Emerging from a childhood marked by emotional trauma, religious repression, and self-doubt, he forged a transformative journey of healing and self-emancipation. His life's work is a testament to the power of the human spirit to rise. Over the decades, he broke free from harmful early programming and came to embrace a simple, liberating truth. Turmel spent more than 25 years in clinical practice, counselling individuals, families, and organizations. His message pulses through his writing, music, and teachings. Dr. Turmel has authored numerous books including his latest, Breaking the Spell of Religion & Healing the Trauma. Thank you Maurice!

The 1990's in Moscow were the glory days of Russian organized crime. Emerging out of the downfall of communism, wannabe oligarchs and gangsters turned the country into a free-for-all as they fought for control. And no where, is more deadly than Moscow. In 1992, there was 2,500 murders in Moscow alone. There's a lot of action, and everyone wants a piece of that action. Problem is, sometimes two people wanted a piece of that same action. In Moscow, in 1993, they didn't go to the courts. They went to the hired killers. And the most infamous of those hitman was Alexander Solonik. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Chris Brimsek, Managing Partner of Cab Advisory, for a deep dive into how investment managers can build enduring businesses in an increasingly complex private markets environment. Drawing on experience from advising GPs across asset classes and stages, Chris outlines the major strategic and operational challenges facing fund managers—from firm structure and team composition to incentive design and succession planning. The conversation explores why many firms stall out at the mid-market level and what it truly takes to scale. Chris shares a four-part framework he uses with clients to create “operational alpha,” emphasizing the importance of vision, actively managed teams, properly structured incentives, and founder delegation. Whether discussing fundless sponsors, the future of sports investing, or the commercialization of GP stakes, Chris offers a pragmatic and unvarnished view of where the industry is headed. They discuss: How the “mutual fund phase” of private markets is driving the need for new content and strategies The rise of fundless sponsors and how they're shaping deal flow, team structures, and fundraising models Why founders must choose between staying boutique or scaling—and how that choice affects team dynamics and enterprise value The case for sports franchises as analogs to deal teams and what private equity can learn from talent management in professional leagues Why delegation, succession planning, and intentional incentive design are key to sustainable firm growth This is a must-listen for investment managers navigating scale, succession, or strategic reinvention in today's private markets.

We're on the cusp of the 2025 edition of Art Basel—the flagship fair held each June in Basel, Switzerland. More than 200 galleries from around the world gather to present works spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Art Basel is both a bellwether and a battleground. Participation is prestigious—and costly. It's competitive, and it's high-stakes. That's always been true. What's newer is the softening of the art market. Sales are down. Demand is cautious. Buying patterns are shifting. “Uncertainty” was the word last year—and it still is. Much of the focus tends to fall on the top of the market. But what about the emerging tier? The galleries selling works under $250,000 and $100,000? The ones spotting and raising new talent, pushing aesthetics forward? What does a “win” look like for them in this moment? What does growth mean now—and how do they survive in a contracting ecosystem? To unpack these questions, Senior Editor Kate Brown is joined by three dealers whose programs I've followed closely over the years. Their perspectives offer a real-time snapshot of what's at stake. On the podcast with us is Robbie Fitzpatrick, of Fitzpatrick Gallery, a dealer who has operated galleries in Los Angeles and Paris, and who recently decided to take his gallery program nomadic. Robbie also founded Art Basel Social Club in 2022, an annual event that has become a defiant and central alternative during the week in Basel. This year, the edition is bigger than ever and takes place in a formidable location of a former bank in the center of the city. Kate is also joined by Lisa Offermann, founder of the gallery LC Queisser. Lisa opened the gallery in 2018 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and launched a second location in Cologne earlier this year. She's participated in several editions of Art Basel and is part of its newest sector, Premiere, this year. Freddie Powell, founder of Ginny on Frederick, is also on the show—Freddie opened in London in 2020. With a sharp program and quick ascent, the gallery is making its debut at Art Basel this year, in both Basel and in Paris in the fall.
Microsoft 365 Copilot has been identified as having a significant security vulnerability known as Echo Leak, which allows hackers to access sensitive information without user interaction. This zero-click exploit was discovered by AIM Security after three months of reverse engineering the software. Although Microsoft claims the issue has been addressed and no customers were affected, experts warn that this flaw reflects deeper security concerns in AI systems, reminiscent of vulnerabilities seen in software two decades ago. The incident raises critical questions about the security of AI agents that have ambient access to data and the need for rethinking endpoint protection and trust boundaries.OpenAI's latest threat report reveals that state-level actors, including those linked to North Korea and Russia, are exploiting ChatGPT for cyber operations. The report outlines ten operations that were shut down, including the generation of fake job applications and social media content aimed at spreading disinformation. Notably, some campaigns were traced back to China, showcasing the use of AI in creating deceptive online personas. This highlights the strategic use of AI by malicious actors, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and security measures.ConnectWise is facing scrutiny over its recent digital certificate updates, urging customers to update their ScreenConnect, Automate, and ConnectWise RMM solutions. The company is attempting to distance itself from a previously disclosed nation-state breach while addressing concerns raised by a third-party researcher regarding configuration data handling. The rushed certificate rotation has led to reduced confidence among customers, especially given the recent history of exploitation of ScreenConnect. This situation underscores the importance of transparency and trust in vendor relationships, as well as the need for managed service providers to audit their update processes.New tools from Huntress, Netgear, and Varonis signal a shift towards more automated and resilient security solutions. Huntress has launched a Threat Simulator to enhance user engagement in security training, while Netgear's acquisition of Exium aims to simplify networking and security for managed service providers. Varonis has introduced a Model Context Protocol Server to integrate AI tools into its data security platform. These developments reflect a growing trend in cybersecurity towards realism, automation, and simplification, emphasizing the need for IT service providers to adapt and align with these evolving security landscapes.

This episode delves into the intricate dynamics of transitioning from independent artist management to operating within the confines of a larger agency, elucidating how such a shift can diminish one's initial passion for the craft. We explore the journey of an artist who, while initially motivated by a desire to foster and promote musical talent, found that the structural limitations of a corporate environment stifled creativity and personal connection. The discussion further emphasizes the paramount importance of understanding the business aspects of the music industry, positing that knowledge in this realm is essential for artists to safeguard their interests and navigate the complexities of their careers. We advocate for musicians to cultivate their unique identities, rather than merely being perceived through the lens of their collaborations with established artists. This episode serves as a compelling reminder that while technical skills are crucial, the necessity of strategic self-promotion and market understanding cannot be overstated in the pursuit of artistic success.Takeaways: The transition from managing artists independently to working within a larger agency can significantly alter one's passion for the music industry. A profound understanding of the business side of music is essential for musicians to avoid exploitation and foster their careers effectively. Emerging musicians should prioritize developing their unique identity rather than solely being recognized through associations with established artists. It is imperative for artists to cultivate their own following and market presence before seeking managerial assistance to ensure sustainable growth. Learning how to strategically promote oneself is crucial; merely releasing music is insufficient without a comprehensive marketing approach. Incorporating personal creativity into business practices can lead to fulfilling careers that resonate with one's true artistic identity.

Dr. Nicholson details the high points of his presentation, including a milk price outlook, implications of changes to milk and milk component pricing that will take place in June, and changes in butterfat value over time. As a result of the pricing changes, milk component values are expected to decrease. (3:15)Net impacts on milk prices for a dairy will depend mostly on where they're located, but also a little bit on how their milk is currently priced. Dr. Nicholson expects a decrease of around $0.32/cwt for dairies in his area. The panel discusses how a dairy might shift management and feeding to try to increase milkfat to recoup that loss. Dr. Zimmerman asks if the pricing changes will affect fat and protein pricing equally or differently. Butter and other non-fat solids are all going to have the same impact every month. But protein is slightly different because the formulas for protein pricing use both the price of cheese and the price of butter, and those factors interact. Brian comments the impacts for a cheese and powder type of dairy stand to be quite different from a fluid milk dairy. Chuck talks about some of the background as to why dairy cooperatives and dairy producers voted in favor of the milk pricing changes. (8:16)The panel discusses the impact of cheese demand on component pricing and production. Billions of dollars worth of cheese processing capacity are coming online in the next couple of years, so demand should remain strong. Tariffs are definitely bringing a lot of uncertainty to the market. Some of the new cheese plants have a lot of whey processing capacity on the back end to add value. Whey products are one of our major exports. (13:54)Brian talks about the shift in what's considered an acceptable butterfat percentage over the span of his career. The panel talks about the influence of genomics and feeding management on that trend. Dr. Lock talks about a recently completed study in his lab feeding fresh cows two different levels of metabolizable protein and supplementing 0%, 1% or 2% of a 60:30 palmitic-oleic fatty acid blend. Cows fed a higher level of metabolizable protein and a 2% fatty acid blend produced 9.5 kilograms more energy-corrected milk in the first three weeks of lactation. He mentions the protein had more of an impact on milk fat than he had anticipated, that protein and fat supplementation showed additive positive effects, and there was a carryover effect after supplementation ceased. (21:04)Dr. Lock summarizes some recent work on feeding high oleic soybeans to lactating cows. The panel chats about roasting vs. not roasting soybeans, transportation costs and economics. Dr. Lock's group is now looking at feeding the oil from high-oleic beans to see how the response differs, if at all, from feeding the beans. (25:42)Dr. Nicholson predicts a pretty good margin year for 2025, forecasting about $3 above the average long-term margin, even with the upcoming milk pricing changes. The big wild card is exports and trade policy, which could have a significant impact on what margins look like going forward. (31:32)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Krishna Mohanraj is International Portfolio Manager at Diamond Hill Capital Management, a $30bn asset manager headquartered in Columbus Ohio. Prior to joining Diamond Hill, Krishna spent time at Sanford C. Bernstein and Exelon corporation and prior to that was a product manager and solution architect. We start by discussing Krishna's background, starting in South India, how he moved to studying engineering in the US, and working in software and consulting during the .com bubble. He pursued finance in London, covering European equities, before returning to the US to manage a global equity portfolio. He reflects on the role of chance in his career, noting that while he made decisions along the way, crucial jumps happened by accident. Moving to this current role at Diamond Hill we discuss the importance of teams, and how this is often an overlooked aspect of portfolio management. We look at how he nurtures a team – even from a largely remote base – and how autonomy is key to agency and empowerment.

Load and lock, Void! This week we dive into the dense jungles of Hollywood while speakers blast Credence Clearwater, Rolling Stones, and Buffalo Springfield. Is this a Vietnam movie? No, it's a movie about people who tried to make a movie about Vietnam! It's TROPIC THUNDER, starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Brandon T. Jackson, and Tom Cruise. We double down on the ridiculous nature of Hollywood; the insincerity of the industry to promote diverse stories while only casting certain people. But really, we spent the whole movie laughing at the absurdity of this story! Nick Nolte impressions, pandas, TeeVo saving the day, Satan's Alley, and the sheer number of big-name actors they got for this movie. Now, let's do the torture scene!

The coalition's ultra-Orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism and Shas, announced they will join the opposition to vote in favor of dissolving the Knesset due to its failure to pass a law exempting the ultra-orthodox from serving in the IDF. If a simple majority votes in favor of dissolving the Knesset, it would force parliamentary elections.As if the news pouring out of Israel wasn't enough, major developments are also taking place in Gaza. The food-aid program, run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, is showing signs of success in circumventing Hamas, weakening its political power of Gaza's population. This food aid program is not just a humanitarian endeavor; it is part of a larger strategy that was developed over the past year, referred to as humanitarian bubbles, in which Hamas-free zones are intended to be administered by vetted local Palestinians unaffiliated with Hamas. Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed today that Israel is providing weapons to an anti-Hamas militia, led by Yasser Abu-Shabab. The rise of Israel-backed Abu-Shabab, along with the weakening of Hamas' political and military power, has prompted a conversation about whether we are witnessing the early stages of the day after Hamas in Gaza.Our guest today is Joseph Braude. He leads the Center for Peace Communications (CPC), a nonprofit that amplifies Gazans who oppose Hamas, and has been active inside the Gaza Strip throughout the war. If you've seen a video of Gazans speaking out against Hamas, chances are they came to you through the CPC.It is the first time we will be speaking with someone who has been in close contact with direct sources inside Gaza's population. In fact, Joseph has helped us receive audio to questions that the Call me Back podcast sent directly to Gazan civilians.
