In this sponsored episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis welcome back Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO Network, a project first featured on the show back in the ICO days of 2018. Unlike many projects from that era, XYO is still building. The conversation centers on a huge problem in both crypto and AI: digital systems are often blind to the real world. Smart contracts, AI agents, apps, and autonomous systems can process data, but they do not automatically know whether that data is true, where it came from, or whether someone tampered with it. That is where XYO comes in. Markus explains how XYO has evolved from a proof-of-location network into what the team describes as a truth layer for real-world data. Using devices, mobile phones, sensors, NFC tags, cryptographic proofs, and its own data-focused Layer 1 blockchain, XYO is working to verify events, actions, assets, and real-world information so AI systems and blockchain applications can operate with greater certainty. Joel, Travis, and Markus also dig into the COIN app, which allows users to earn rewards for contributing real-world data, and the broader XYO ecosystem, including the XYO token, XL1 token, proof of origin, zero-knowledge privacy protections, and the newly announced AI infrastructure verification partnership with Setter Labs. The big idea: as AI becomes more powerful, the question may not be whether a model can generate an answer. The question is whether it can prove where that answer came from. Topics Covered Why AI agents and smart contracts are still “blind” to the physical world How XYO began as a proof-of-location project in 2018 Why GPS and location data can be spoofed The role of blockchain in verifying real-world events What “proof of origin” means and why it matters How XYO collects and verifies real-world data Why bad data may be one of AI’s biggest problems How verified data could reduce AI hallucinations The COIN app and how users can earn rewards for data collection XYO’s Layer 1 blockchain and the XL1 token The difference between XYO, XL1, COIN, and other ecosystem assets How zero-knowledge proofs help preserve privacy Why decentralized physical infrastructure networks may become increasingly important How XYO is moving into AI infrastructure and AI agent verification The new XYO AI SDK and what developers can build with it Why long-term survival matters in crypto Joel’s reminder that sponsored projects must still pass Bad Crypto vetting Featured Guest Markus LevinCo-founder of XYO Network Links Mentioned XYO Network: https://xyo.networkCOIN App: https://coinapp.coBuild with XYO: https://xyo.network/buildPartnership inquiries: partnerships@xyo.network Disclosure This is a sponsored episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Most pharma launch frameworks don't fail because they lack structure; they fail because they become rigid checklists that kill strategic thinking. In this episode, Lumanity's Business Development Director, Jeff Hart, and Launch Excellence Principal, Kirsty Tait, talk about how pharmaceutical companies can scale launch excellence as pipelines grow and complexity increases. Kirsty and Jeff explain that rigid, one-size-fits-all frameworks lead to inefficiency, slow decisions, and misalignment across global and local teams. Instead, organizations need a standardized operating system with built-in flexibility to tailor strategy by asset and market. Ultimately, success depends not just on process, but on strong governance, a single source of truth, and a winning culture that drives execution. If your launch process feels slow, inconsistent, or overly complex, this conversation will help you rethink how to scale without losing speed or impact.

(4) Bob Zimmerman recounts how, during the critical Lunar Orbit Insertion, the crew fired the SPS engine behind the moon with no communication and no backup; failure meant certain death. Upon arrival, the astronauts were initially disappointed by the moon's skull-like, colorless appearance, comparing it to a barren sandbox. However, the guest notes that their observations settled a decades-old scientific debate by confirming that lunar craters were the result of impacts rather than volcanic activity. This successful orbital maneuver demonstrated the power of the Saturn 5 to reach anywhere in the solar system, mirroring modern goals for space settlement.1940 GODDARD AT ROSWELL

The Two-Engine System That Turns Chaos into Control Show Notes: Most founder-led businesses don't struggle with vision. They don't lack ideas, talent, or even strategy. What they struggle with is consistent execution. In this episode of the TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott and Jeff break down the real reason businesses feel stuck—even when everything looks like it should be working. The problem isn't effort. It's not intelligence. It's not even discipline alone. It's that most companies are trying to run on one engine instead of two. What You'll Learn: 1. Why execution breaks down (even with good people and meetings) Many founders have strategy sessions, smart teams, and clear goals—yet still experience inconsistent results. The missing piece? A system that bridges vision to execution in a scalable way. 2. The Two Leadership Engines every scalable company needs To move from founder-dependent to system-driven, your business must run on: Execution Discipline Engine The system that drives action—priorities, meetings, accountability, scorecards, and follow-through. Strategic Intelligence Engine The system that captures thinking—insights, decisions, focus, and organizational alignment across your leadership team. Most companies only install the first—and wonder why growth stalls. 3. Why systems—not talent—determine your ceiling Your strengths as a founder got you this far. But without the right systems, those same strengths become constraints. Growth requires evolving how the business operates, not just working harder. 4. The hidden bottleneck: “thinking trapped in the founder's head” Early on, everything works because the vision lives inside you. But as the business grows, that becomes the bottleneck. If your team can't see what you're thinking, they can't execute at a high level—no matter how capable they are. 5. A simple way to instantly improve team alignment Imagine starting your week already knowing: What each leader is focused on Where priorities may be off Where to step in as CEO When your team's thinking is visible, alignment becomes faster, cleaner, and far more scalable. Key Takeaway: If you feel stuck in your business, it's likely not a motivation issue—it's a missing system. You don't just need better execution. You need both: A system that drives action A system that captures and aligns thinking That's how you move from: Chaos → Clarity → Control → Freedom Practical Exercise: Take a sheet of paper and divide it into two sides: Write “Leadership” on one side Write “Management” on the other Define each separately. If they look the same, you've found a gap. Clarity here is the starting point for building real executive performance. Next Step: Want to see where your biggest constraint is? Take the assessment and turn your score into a plan:
What starts as a review of Hathaway's Heroes IPA from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery quickly turns into a time capsule of hockey playoff anxiety, craft beer nostalgia, cigar festivals, brewing science, and one surreal story about unknowingly hanging out with Sam Calagione years before realizing who he was. Recorded during intermission of a Flyers vs. Penguins playoff game — immediately after Garnet Hathaway scores — this may be the most emotionally compromised beer review I've ever done. Inside the episode: A full BJCP-style breakdown of Hathaway's Heroes IPA Live playoff energy and Flyers fandom chaos Stories from early-2000s cigar festivals and discovering Dogfish Head A nostalgic dive into the lost brewing TV series Brew Masters Brewing talk about stalled fermentations, oxygenation, specialty malts, and resin-heavy IPAs A review that openly admits the score may have been influenced by hockey emotions This episode is part beer review, part brewing rabbit hole, part sports panic attack — and somehow it all works. If you love Dogfish Head, craft beer history, brewing process talk, or hearing someone try to professionally judge a beer while distracted by playoff hockey, this one's for you.
Most people quit their podcast right before it starts working. Not because the content was bad… because they couldn't see the compounding happening under the surface. Today we break down the one thing that has shaped everything BIZBROS has built... endurance. From three seasons of the 45 Live challenge to 700+ episodes of Content Is Profit, to $1M+ in services sold through relationships that started with a single conversation. But here's what took too long to learn: patience alone isn't the strategy. Content builds trust. Outreach closes deals. Run both engines at the same time… and your content becomes a real business tool, not just a brand builder. You'll hear real stories from this week: a studio referral that became a meeting, a cold Google call that became a closed deal, and a doctor on X who attracted the attention of Mark Cuban just by staying authentic and consistent. Don't quit at episode 50. The door opens! you just have to still be standing when it does.
In this episode, we sit down with Marius Smyth of the Digital Irish Venture Fund (DIVF) for a follow-up to our earlier conversations with Marty Loughlin. Where Marty walked us through how DIVF picks founders and the realities of pitching the fund, Marius zooms out to the layer underneath: how DIVF is building the Irish diaspora into a working venture ecosystem rather than relying on it as a goodwill network. He is leading the build-out of a physical “Green Room” for Irish founders in New York, architecting the fund's co-investment strategy, and thinking hard about where a fund of DIVF's size best fits in an industry increasingly polarised between mega-funds and solo angels.In this conversation, we get into:Why the Irish network is a sourcing engine, not just a hospitality network — and what DIVF is building to keep it commercial rather than a mutual appreciation society.How DIVF co-invests alongside other funds without becoming dependent on whoever is leading the round.Why the right place for an Irish venture fund right now is not at either end of the cheque-size spectrum, and where DIVF deliberately sits.The most practical first step for a founder coming out of Ireland with no US network, plus where the gaps still are in the Irish ecosystem itself.If you're an Irish founder building for the US market — or thinking about the next layer of infrastructure the diaspora needs — this episode is the strategic counterpart to Marty's tactical advice from the earlier episodes.About the Digital Irish Venture Fund (DIVF)DIVF is an early-stage venture firm focused on Irish and Irish diaspora founders building for global markets. The fund operates as “friendly operators” rather than traditional shark VCs — providing hands-on operating help, warm introductions, and access to a diaspora network across New York, London and Dublin after the cheque is written. DIVF co-invests alongside other funds and works alongside the broader Irish ecosystem — Enterprise Ireland, universities, accelerators, and angels — to bring strong Irish companies into the US market.Want to get in contact with the Digital Irish team?

Send us Fan MailEpisode 369: This conversation with Daimler Truck's Mike Young explores the Detroit Gen 6 engine platform and how it prepares fleets for the EPA 2027 emissions standards by building on nearly 20 years of proven aftertreatment technology. Young explains that the Gen 6 engines focus on reducing NOx through improved thermal management, a new pre‑SCR system, as well as incremental enhancements carried over from Gen 5. These changes aim to maintain or slightly improve fuel economy depending on idling habits, reduce maintenance surprises, and ensure technicians and parts suppliers experience minimal disruption. With millions of test miles already accumulated and careful planning for dealer and service‑network readiness, the Gen 6 platform is positioned as a reliable, efficient evolution rather than a disruptive overhaul.Links· Detroit Gen 6 Engine Gen 6 Engine | Demand Detroit· Daimler Truck North America Start | Daimler Truck North America· Daimler Truck (global) Home | Daimler TruckSponsors of this EpisodeThe Hub Corp: Introducing the new standard in wheel-end protection: The Hub Corp's revolutionary XTRACTOR™.

The study you should read this weekA new paper from Christensen and colleagues asks one of the most practical training questions there is. When you add a block of high-intensity work, what should happen to your easy volume? Cut it back to recover better, or protect it? They tested both. The results change how to think about the volume vs intensity tradeoff for serious amateur cyclists.Both groups got fitter. But what they got fitter at was different. The group that kept their volume up improved the foundations. The group that cut their volume improved the sharp end. Volume isn't the cost of intensity. It's the thing that decides what your intensity becomes.Study: Christensen, P.M. et al. (2024).

In this episode, we kick things off by examining autonomous trucking's major geographic expansion as Einride deploys cabless electric trucks in Ohio in partnership with EASE Logistics. This proof-of-concept deployment represents a significant shift beyond the Sun Belt, bringing SAE Level 4 autonomous technology to the industrial Midwest for the first time. Operating between warehouses in Marysville, the project is part of Ohio and Indiana's Truck Automation Corridor initiative to evaluate real-world impacts on safety and freight efficiency. Next, we explore the equipment sector where Volvo Trucks North America has unveiled a completely redesigned D13 engine engineered to meet 2027 EPA standards taking effect January 1st. The next-generation powerplant slashes nitrogen oxide emissions by a staggering eighty-three percent and particulate matter by fifty percent, making it Volvo's cleanest engine ever. With compacted graphite iron block construction, a higher compression ratio, and innovative fourteen-wave piston design, the engine delivers up to 540 horsepower while fundamentally redefining heavy-duty performance and environmental compliance. Finally, we cover a sudden leadership shakeup at the western Class I railroad as BNSF's chief operations officer departed after just five months in the top operations role. Matt Garland, a twenty-five-year BNSF veteran who took the COO position on January 1st, has been replaced by Craig Morehouse, who will now oversee the entire operations organization. The abrupt transition comes as Berkshire Hathaway's new leadership pushes BNSF to further improve its operating ratio and operational performance.

If you showed the same bitewing to 10 dentists, would they all agree on whether to pick up the drill? Why does the word monitoring mean nothing to a patient — and how does swapping it for active surveillance change everything from your notes to your indemnity to your government policy meetings? Is it overtreatment to act on an E2 lesion — or is “watch and wait” actually the lazy answer dressed up as minimally invasive? And what should you actually do with AI caries detection that flags shadows your eye doesn't see? In this episode, Professor Avijit Banerjee — Professor of Cariology & Operative Dentistry at King's College London, Honorary Consultant at Guy's & St Thomas', and First Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the College of General Dentistry — sits down with Jaz for what is genuinely one of the most important caries conversations on the podcast. Part one of two. Avijit doesn't do soft answers. The drill-fill-bill model is broken. “Monitoring” needs to go. “Treatment planning” is antiquated terminology medics dropped twenty-five years ago. And AI in caries diagnosis? Useful — but the moment it gets things wrong, you are the one with indemnity, not the software. What you walk away with is a framework (MIOC), a decision filter (three factors that decide whether to pick up a bur), and a vocabulary shift you can implement tomorrow. Part two covers peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite, stepwise excavation, and managing caries in xerostomia. https://youtu.be/YriLo8_hXNw Watch PDP268 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Delete the Word “Monitor” from Your Vocabulary Stop saying monitor. Start saying active surveillance. ⚠️ Active surveillance must not mean passive delay — document your reasoning, risk assessment, and what would trigger intervention. ✅ Explain it to patients as structured, proactive care: clinical checks, radiographs, risk review, behaviour support, and timely action if things change. Key Takeaways Minimum intervention oral care is bigger than minimally invasive dentistry. MIOC is prevention-based, person-focused, susceptibility-related, and delivered by the whole oral healthcare team. MID is only one part of MIOC: operative dentistry when a tooth actually needs intervention. The four MIOC domains are: identify the problem, prevent lesions and control disease, provide minimally invasive operative care, then reassess. A care plan is more useful than a treatment plan because it includes justification, prevention, behaviour change, and review. Ask patients what matters to you, not just what's the matter with you. Cavitation, cleansability, and lesion activity should guide whether to intervene operatively. A cavitated lesion that cannot be cleaned is much more likely to remain active. Smooth surface lesions may sometimes be made cleansable without conventional drilling. Restorations are not just about filling holes; they help recreate a cleansable tooth surface. There is no single perfect caries detection technology — clinical examination and good radiographs remain fundamental. If using NIRI, fluorescence, scanners, or AI, understand how the technology works and where it fails. AI should support diagnosis, not replace clinical judgement. For uncertain early lesions, triangulate: clinical findings, radiographs, risk, technology, and patient factors. Proximal resin infiltration has a role in the right patient and situation, especially as part of a wider prevention-led strategy.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to manufacture luxury watches that cost tens of thousands of dollars? This is the episode to find out! Last week I reconnected with Josh Shapiro to tell him about a used Willemin 408MT Graff-Pinkert had for sale. He told me that he was extremely excited for his new line of watches coming out that he has been working on for years. He is finally going to be producing the entire movement in his watches. Please have a listen to one of our most popular interviews on the show! Our guest on the podcast today is a machinist, entrepreneur, and master craftsman. Josh Shapiro is the owner and founder of JN Shapiro Watches, one of the few high-end luxury wristwatch makers in the United States. His latest line of watches will be priced at $70,000 dollars and up. His operation uses the most state of the art CNC Swiss and turn mills, as well as manual turning technology developed as far back as the 1500s! Listen to the podcast or read the highlights to learn how Josh is producing watches like nobody else has in United States for last 50 years. You can also view the podcast in video form on our YouTube Channel. Highlights from the Interview Noah Graff: First, explain your company, JN Shapiro. Josh Shapiro: We make high-end luxury wristwatches. We’re one of the very, very few companies in the United States that manufacture watches. We started out just making the faces of the watches. Our expertise is with something called Guilloche, which is doing engraved geometric shapes on the faces of watches, and that’s done using non-motorized, very old school machines. They’re really special. From there we moved on to making our own cases. Now we are very close to having our first prototype completely in-house movement done. Graff: How much do the watches cost? The price was $30,000 to $40,000 depending on the case material. The new series that we’re going to launch soon is $70,000 up to about $85,000, depending on material and customization. JN Shapiro Watch So they’re very expensive, but we put in about 400 to 500 hours on each timepiece. So much time goes into making each one of those watches. Graff: How did you get into watchmaking? Shapiro: I just had a love of old things, so I ended up becoming a history major and then becoming a teacher. I walked into a local watch store here in Los Angeles called Feldmar when I was about 25, and just fell in love with watches. One of the first watches I saw was a Skeleton Chronograph watch. There was just so much going on there. It was so fascinating to me. Watches are mechanical. Watches are a really beautiful thing. It’s wearable jewelry that’s functional. It’s fascinating how the gear train flows together. How the escapement functions, the pendulum, just the whole interplay of all the pieces. While I was a teacher and principal, I was doing watchmaking as a hobby. Then around 2015, I purchased a really nice set of Guilloche, or engine turning machines, and that allowed me to do professional level work. I started producing watch faces, watch styles for other watchmakers, and started thinking in the back of my head of launching my own brand. Around 2018, I launched my first series, and that’s when I started really reducing my role as a principal, until finally leaving completely two years ago. Graff: Explain engine turning Shapiro: The concept is there are cams made out of bronze on the spindle of the machine, and those cams are rocking against the stop. As the spindle is turning, it’s creating these geometric patterns. Then you can phase the cam, independent of the workpiece, and you can create these really beautiful geometric shapes. It’s an old art. Engine turning machines have been around since the time that lathes came into existence, around 1500. I have a number of them. The first one I bought, I scraped together every cent I had to afford it. Then, then I ended up selling that set of machines and buying another set of machines. The second set of machines cost me around $30,000. I didn’t have that much money, so I had to sell my 67 Mustang Fastback to afford it. Graff: How many staff do you employ for making the watches? Shapiro: It's me plus seven. I’ve taught everyone in the company how to do engine turning. I have one trained CNC machinist. I have another watchmaker who is turned into a CNC machinist. I have three other watchmakers who are doing various watchmaking tasks and manual machining tasks. I have one person who’s a trained jeweler, who has pursued a whole career in hand engraving, and one admin. So everyone has a really great skillset and really enjoys making things. Graff: Tell me about the various machines in your shop. Shapiro: My first big CNC machine, which we still have, is a Haas office mill. That’s actually a great watchmaking machine, and there’s a lot of people in Switzerland that have these Haas office mills because they’re really, really accurate. Then we got a Hardinge, HLV, which is like the premier tool room lathe. And then we picked up the, the (Citizen) L20 from you that was to practice on before we got our new shiny L12, which is getting here Wednesday. The big machine that we got this year was a Kern Evo. Kern makes the most accurate milling machines on the planet. It’s a sub-micron machine. We can’t measure sub-micron here in our shop, but it’s nice to know that we’re working with the machine that accurate, that precise. It’s the first Kern Evo used for watchmaking in the US, which is really exciting. JN Shapiro Watch Parts Graff: Explain the watch movement Shapiro: A movement is the guts of a mechanical watch. It’s everything inside of it, just like a car engine and transmission. There are some [watch] brands in the United States that do cases and dials, and some purchase everything from Switzerland. They're just designed in the United States, like Shinola watches. You know they’re importing a good chunk of all their stuff. They got in trouble with the FTC for saying it was American made. Slowly more is being done here. Our watch that we’re working on is the first time since the sixties that all the parts, all the little parts, everything are made in the United States. The old series, the Infinity series, that we sold out on, we were making the case, the hands and the dial. So not the movement of the watch. That was according to plan. I did the Infinity Series to have the funding to grow the company enough to be able to make the movement. Some people make the mistake of trying to do the movement, which is the most difficult thing, right off the bat. And if it’s not a critical success, then they’re out of business. Graff: Why do people buy expensive watches? Shapiro: I guess the best example is if you look at the car world. You can buy a Toyota or Honda, and it’ll get you from point A to B, and you can also buy McLaren and it’ll get you from point A to B. From the outside observer, they say, okay, the McLaren looks cooler and rich people buy it. But then you get into the engine. You know the car goes fast—very, very fast. There’s a ton of engineering that goes into the car to make it be able to do that. The quality of the parts that are in the car are produced at a much higher level than in a car that’s mass produced. It’s the same thing for a watch. It tells the time, but the quality and time that we put into each and every one of the parts is astronomic. [A watch] is something that’ll last hundreds of years. It’s a piece of art, and it’s functional art that you can wear on your wrist. Art is the spice of life. It’s not something that’s necessary for you to eat, or live. But it’s what makes our civilization special beyond just being a toy for wealthy people. When someone sees a work of art it’s inspiring, and that’s what we do with our watches. They’re more than just time telling devices. Question: What is your favorite watch?
In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Kurtis Kemple, Senior Director of Developer Relations at Slack (Salesforce), joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how Slackbot is evolving into a full agentic platform for human-AI collaboration in the flow of work.Kurtis shares his extraordinary personal journey, from growing up in poverty in Northern New Jersey, dropping out of school, struggling with addiction, and spending over six years incarcerated, to teaching himself to code in prison with nothing but a textbook and a computer with no internet. From there, he built a career in tech that has taken him to one of the most prominent roles in developer relations at Salesforce.The conversation dives deep into how Slackbot is becoming far more than a simple assistant. Kurtis demonstrates how skills, canvases, and MCP connectors transform Slackbot into a powerful orchestration layer where multiple agents and humans collaborate in threads, channels, and workflows. He explains how Slack is positioning itself as the interface for agentic AI, whether that means connecting to Agentforce, GitHub, PagerDuty, or custom-built tools.Boaz and Kurtis explore the concept of bounded autonomy, the idea that agents should earn expanded capabilities through demonstrated consistency, much like onboarding a new employee. They discuss how ambient agents, gamified learning experiences, and personal productivity skills are already transforming day-to-day work for teams using Slack internally at Salesforce.This episode is essential listening for developers, team leads, and anyone building or deploying AI agents who wants to understand why the orchestration layer matters more than any single model, and how the future of work is being shaped inside the tools we already use every day.Chapters[00:00] From Poverty to Prison to Tech: Kurtis's Journey[04:28] Learning to Code Behind Bars with No Internet[06:39] Landing at Salesforce and Second Chances in Hiring[07:11] First Job: The Kemple Kids Shoveling Snow[08:48] The Role: Slackbot, DevRel, and the Agentic Platform Vision[11:35] Multi-Party Collaboration: Agents and Humans in Threads[12:43] Why Slack Is the Orchestration Layer for AI[15:25] Skills Deep Dive: Building and Using Custom Skills[18:32] Context from Conversations: Slack as a Living Repository[20:29] Canvases, Writing Styles, and Seamless Workflows[22:08] Customer Success Stories: Linear, Engine, and Design Partners[25:22] Human-Agent Orchestration vs. Agent-to-Agent Orchestration[28:45] Ambient Agents: The Tidy Skill and Chief of Staff[33:06] Building Trust Through Bounded Autonomy[34:22] Design Partners: Linear, GitHub, and Graceful Degradation[39:11] Slack Platform Power Up: Gamified Learning with Skills[42:37] The Future of Work: Boundedness and Agency[45:04] AI for Everyone: Small Models, Big Access, Edge Intelligence[47:08] What's Next: Slack Developer Day (May 20) and BeyondConnect with Kurtis KempleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurtiskemple/Email: curtiskemple@gmail.comGitHub: https://github.com/kurtiskempleConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm
Peer-to-peer fundraising continues to hold a meaningful place in many organizations. But as revenue strategies diversify and new channels emerge, it's facing fresh scrutiny, often from leaders who haven't grown up in the P2P space. That shift is prompting important questions about where it fits and how its value is defined.In this episode, Marcie Maxwell sits down with Kathe Goller, Senior Director of Community Fundraising, and Mike Lamma, Executive Vice President and COO at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Together, they share the journey of building one of the most recognized walk programs in the country and what it took to move from early skepticism to sustained growth and long-term impact.Kathe and Mike reflect on the key decisions and moments that helped establish peer-to-peer as a vital part of their organization's success. They unpack how to communicate value beyond revenue, especially in times of increased pressure, and what it means to truly know your worth as a P2P leader. The conversation also explores how internal perspectives shifted from competition to collaboration, helping peer-to-peer earn its place alongside more traditional development strategies.Together, we'll explore:How peer-to-peer evolved at AFSP from uncertainty to a core driver of growthWays to communicate value beyond dollars and strengthen leadership confidenceWhat it takes to build internal alignment and position peer-to-peer as a strategic partnerMentioned LinksAFSP.org@AFSPnational on IG@AFSPnational on XStay Connected on LinkedInConnect with KatheConnect with MikeConnect with MarcieConnect with the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum (00:00) - Welcome to The P2P Soap Box (02:58) - Introducing Mike Lamma and Kathe Goller (06:16) - When is the Walk a Walk?

How do you reinvent a TV series without breaking its engine? Jacob Krueger breaks down Beef Season 2 to explore one of the most difficult balancing acts in screenwriting: evolving a show's engine without alienating your audience. At first, the second season of Beef appears to deliver the same escalating conflict that powered Season 1 — a small, petty squabble spiraling toward violence. Yet episode by episode, creator Lee Sung Jin subtly shifts the rules of the game until the show operates on entirely new terms, feeling less like a repeat of Beef than the inspired love child of Beef and The White Lotus. Along the way, Jacob explains how metaphor can function as a creative North Star, and why your narrative becomes stronger when you stack the deck against your central argument rather than in support of it.
The development of the B-29 Superfortress began in 1939 following a clandestine meeting between General Hap Arnold and Charles Lindbergh, who warned of Germany's growing bomber fleets. The project aimed for air supremacy through a four-engine, high-altitude strategic bomber that far surpassed the capabilities of the B-17 or B-24. However, the B-29 was incredibly complex and "buggy," featuring new technologies like pressurized cabins and digitally controlled gun turrets. Production was plagued by technical failures, including engine fires and stall-outs that claimed the life of a leading test pilot. Bill Knudsen played a critical role in the "Battle of Omaha," driving the assembly lines forward and insisting on modifications as the planes were finished. By 1943, nearly 40% of the workforce at these plants consisted of women. Ultimately, the B-29 became the most expensive project of the war, carrying the atomic bomb to Hiroshima and ending the conflict in the Pacific. (3/4)
