Michael Pettis joins Alan Dunne for a wide ranging conversation on trade imbalances, globalization and the future of the world economy. Drawing on decades of research into China, Europe and financial history, Pettis argues that persistent trade surpluses are ultimately rooted in domestic income imbalances rather than national competitiveness. The discussion explores why China struggles to rebalance, why Europe may face its biggest challenge yet, and how US reindustrialization could reshape global trade. From Bretton Woods to modern tariffs, this episode offers a provocative framework for understanding the forces driving the next phase of the global economy.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Michael on X.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Michael Pettis warns that the real trade reckoning may still lie ahead01:07 - Introduction to Michael Pettis and his background in finance and economics06:34 - Why trade imbalances are ultimately driven by income imbalances09:59 - Germany's Hartz reforms and the roots of European imbalances17:22 - Competitiveness versus productivity and the hidden costs of wage suppression27:48 - China's growth model and why rebalancing has proved so difficult35:54 - Who will absorb China's trade surplus if the US closes its deficit?40:24 - Can the United States successfully reindustrialize?45:31 - Why Europe may eventually turn toward protectionism52:17 - The US deficit, global capital flows and the burden of dollar dominance01:01:50 - Why the renminbi is unlikely to replace the dollar01:10:45 - Historical trade imbalances and how painful adjustments unfold01:16:21 - What Japan's experience reveals about China's future01:21:02 - Final reflections on debt, globalization and economic adjustmentCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso explain that they sold their house in the US so they are now finally living full time in bel'italia.  They also share that the Italian summer season is off to a slow-ish start and offer travel insights and essential tips for anyone planning a summer trip to Italy. Key Points: A New Chapter in Italy: Kimberly and Tommaso reflect on their move to Italy, which began in late January. They describe the process of selling their home in America and the effort of downsizing 19 years of possessions. The couple shares their experiences adjusting to Italian life, including the pleasure of a relaxed pace and the genuine friendliness of locals. Italian Hospitality and Culture: Kimberly and Tommaso highlight the authentic warmth of Italian people, especially in service settings. They note a cultural difference where Italian service workers, who do not rely on tips, show genuine friendliness. This genuine nature contributes to a pleasant atmosphere in cafes and restaurants. Summer Travel Trends in Italy (2026): There are fewer American and Canadian tourists in Italy this year. European travelers are exploring destinations within Europe, often by car or camper van. Smaller, less-known Italian destinations are gaining popularity over major cities like Rome and Venice. Tourism statistics in Europe offer clear insights into these trends, showing shifts in visitor numbers and travel patterns. August Train Travel Tips: August brings track maintenance and updates to Italy's rail system, especially on high-speed lines (Frecciarossa). This means fewer fast train options and potential delays, with “No Travel Found” messages indicating unreleased timetables. Regional trains may be the only option. They can be slower and more crowded. Italian Work-Life Balance: August is a popular month for Italians to take vacations. Many hospitality workers take a break. Italy mandates a minimum of four weeks of paid leave for employees. This policy supports employee well-being and contributes to a happy workforce. Quirky Beach Rules in Sardinia: The village of Villasimius on Sardinia has implemented new rules for Punta Molentis beach due to overtourism and a recent wildfire. New regulations include an entrance fee, parking limits, and mandatory reservations. Umbrellas are banned for most visitors, with exceptions only for children under 10 and adults over 65. These rules aim to manage crowds and protect the ecosystem. Dress Codes and Civility: Strict dress codes are in place in historic centers. Fines apply for walking around in swimwear or shirtless. Proper attire is required when using public transportation or entering establishments like cafes and gelaterias. This reflects Italy's emphasis on respectability and civility, even for a culture known for its style and allure. Summer Weather and Sightseeing: Europe is experiencing active warming, with Italy often having warm, dry summers from mid-June to September. Kimberly recommends an early start to explore cities, followed by a late, light lunch and a “bel riposo” (nap) during the hottest part of the day. Evening strolls offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, providing a pleasant way to experience Italian cities. Join Kimberly and Tommaso as they navigate their new life in Italy, sharing practical advice and engaging stories to make your Italian travels memorable.

This week, we kick things off with the successful Freedom 250 celebration at the White House. Patriotism, festivities, and enough red, white, and blue to make Uncle Sam ask everyone to tone it down a notch. Apparently, America knows how to throw a birthday party.Speaking of parties, Barack Obama casually revealed that there were some pretty wild gatherings during his White House years. Which naturally leaves us wondering: were these classy soirées, or was somebody playing beer pong in the Lincoln Bedroom? We discuss the comments and speculate on what exactly "wild" means when you're living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.Then we head to the golf course, where Phil Mickelson reportedly found himself in the rough after allegedly behaving inappropriately with a woman and getting shown the clubhouse door. Apparently, "playing through" doesn't apply to personal conduct.Finally, across the pond, thousands of people in the United Kingdom took to the streets to voice concerns about immigration, national identity, and the future of their country. We break down the protests, the reactions, and why Europeans seem to have mastered the art of expressing frustration while standing in the rain.From White House celebrations to presidential party stories, golf course drama, and political unrest overseas, this episode has more twists than a British roundabout.So grab your favorite beverage, avoid getting kicked out of any country clubs, and remember: if someone says there were "wild parties" at the White House, everybody immediately starts wondering who was in charge of the playlist.

We've all been there: you look at the clock, convince yourself you have "plenty of time" for one last thing, and end up sprinting frantically through a crowded terminal. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on a painful, frustrating, and incredibly embarrassing mistake I made on our recent weekend trip to Madrid. It cost me $120, three hours of precious time, and a heavy dose of parental pride. We're diving into the psychological trap of "Time Optimism," the hidden anxiety of arriving early, and the strict reality of European train travel.I hope you enjoy it!

The future of market access belongs to organizations that plan years in advance. In this episode, Steve Mather, Global Practice Lead of Strategy and Insight at Lumanity, explains why pharmaceutical companies must prepare now for major market access changes coming in Europe and beyond. He highlights that Joint Clinical Assessments for rare disease assets, beginning in 2028, will require earlier planning, stronger governance, and more integrated evidence-generation strategies. Steve also discusses the complexity created by varying country-specific care pathways, limited comparators, and the growing importance of real-world evidence in rare disease development. Across policy shifts like JCA, IRA, MFN, and new European pharmaceutical legislation, the central message is clear: organizations that anticipate earlier will be better positioned to succeed. Tune in to hear how the future of rare disease market access is being reshaped, and why companies that prepare earlier will have a major strategic advantage!

In this third episode of our season-long exploration of Quakers and Money, Peterson Toscano and Diana Yañez turn toward one of the largest and most difficult questions of the series: How do Friends live with integrity inside capitalism? Last month, we explored relational finance and asked whether taking responsibility for our money and institutional assets can lead to deeper integrity and more equitable power-sharing. This month, Peterson names the friction many Friends feel: the sense of being trapped in a massive economic system built on extraction, inequity, colonialism, and environmental harm. Through conversations with Lisa Graustein, Nathan Kleban, David Watt, and Traci Hjelt Sullivan, this episode examines the spiritual dissonance between Quaker values and capitalist structures. We hear about stolen land, inherited wealth, paternalism in charitable giving, the legacy of slavery in Quaker history, and the denial made possible by class and racial privilege. Rather than offering easy answers, Peterson and Diana ask what it means to stay on a journey with truth. If capitalism harms people and the planet, how might Friends move beyond individual purity or denial and toward mutual aid, community wealth-building, repair, and solidarity? In This Episode The Dissonance: Peterson reflects on the gap between Quaker faith and a global economy built on extraction and inequity. Capitalism and White Supremacy: Lisa Graustein names capitalism and white supremacy as forces that keep the here and now from becoming the realm of God. Stolen Land and Reparative Responsibility: Lisa shares the story of New England Yearly Meeting selling property after repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery and raises questions about what should happen to profits from land acquired through colonization. From Charity to Right Relationship: Nathan Kleban of Right Sharing of World Resources challenges paternalistic models of giving and asks who the economy is actually for. Quaker Wealth and Enslavement: David Watt, professor of Quaker studies at Haverford College, reminds us that some early Quaker wealth in Philadelphia was tied to Barbados, sugar plantations, and the labor of enslaved people. The Wealth of Not Having Debt: Traci Hjelt Sullivan expands the definition of ancestral wealth, naming the opportunities that come from beginning adult life without student debt. The Inner Capitalist: Diana reminds us that the Quaker belief in “that of God in everyone” also extends to capitalists, and to the parts of ourselves that continue to benefit from extractive systems. Our Guests Lisa Graustein Lisa Graustein is a Quaker educator, activist, and writer whose work often explores money, power, race, and reparative justice. In this episode, she reflects on inherited wealth, stewardship, and the responsibility to repair harm caused through the accumulation of resources. Nathan Kleban Nathan Kleban works with Right Sharing of World Resources, a Quaker organization that supports women-led economic projects in the Global South. Nathan brings a relational and community-centered lens to economics, asking how people get their needs met and how communities express their gifts outside extractive systems. David Watt David Watt is the Douglas and Dorothy Steere Professor of Quaker Studies at Haverford College. In this episode, he offers historical context about Quaker wealth, including the connections between early Philadelphia Friends, Barbados, sugar plantations, and slavery. Traci Hjelt Sullivan Traci Hjelt Sullivan is the executive director of Right Sharing of World Resources. She brings decades of nonprofit leadership and international experience to her work. In this episode, she reflects on truth, denial, race, class, debt, and the spiritual work of recognizing our own responsibility. Resources and Recommendations QuakerSpeak: “What If Wall Street Were Honest?” https://quakerspeak.com/video/what-if-wall-street-were-honest/ North Carolina Quaker Mark Hulbert has tracked investment advisors since the early 1980s. In this QuakerSpeak video, he talks about how his Quaker background and commitment to integrity led him to ask whether Wall Street advisors were telling the truth. Spent https://playspent.org/ Diana recommends Spent, a free browser-based survival game that places players inside the poverty trap. You begin with $1,000 and try to survive for 30 days while making impossible choices: pay rent, fix the car, buy medicine, or keep the lights on. It offers one way to better understand how expensive it can be to be poor in the current economic system. Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1575 Diana references Federici's work while discussing the relationship between capitalism, labor control, gendered violence, and colonialism. The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374157357/thedawnofeverything/ Diana also points to this book while reflecting on European colonialism, the construction of human hierarchy, and the ideas that shaped the modern world.

Earth Quaker Action Team: https://eqat.org/ A grassroots Quaker organization that uses nonviolent direct action to challenge systems of economic and environmental injustice.

How to Grow a Flower Shop from 600k to 9 Million with Michael Jacobson   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   Most business owners think their profit problem is a sales problem. It often is not. More often, the real issue is waste, weak systems, and not knowing where margin is leaking out of the business. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani talks with Michael Jacobson about how he took a struggling flower shop and transformed it into a multi-location business by focusing on supply chain, technology, and operational discipline. This is not just a story about flowers. It is a lesson in how small business owners can increase profit, improve cash flow, and scale without chaos.   In This Episode: How Michael bought a failing flower shop and turned it around Why supply chain optimization improved both quality and margin How predictive data helped reduce waste in a perishable business Why guardrails can make creative teams better, not worse The difference between growth mode and profitability mode Why some business owners should pay key employees more than themselves Rocky's take on hidden waste and margin erosion   Key Takeaways: Waste is one of the biggest profit killers in any business. Data-driven systems help owners stop guessing and protect cash flow. Standardization and creativity can work together when guardrails are clear. Hiring stronger people is a growth strategy, not just a staffing decision. Sustainable growth requires knowing whether you are optimizing for profit or scale.   Money Lesson from Michael: Profit improves when you stop guessing. Michael explains how direct sourcing, better inventory forecasting, and tighter operational systems helped reduce waste and improve margins in a business where spoilage can destroy profitability fast. He also makes the case that the right investments in technology, talent, and systems may feel expensive upfront, but they often pay for themselves many times over when they eliminate inefficiency and protect cash flow.   Why This Conversation Matters: Too many business owners are growing revenue without building the systems needed to keep that growth profitable. Michael's story shows what happens when an owner moves beyond instinct and starts using data, guardrails, and better people to scale the business. Rocky brings it back to the real issue business owners face every day: if you do not understand where waste is hitting your margins, growth alone will not fix the problem.   About Michael Jacobson: Michael Jacobson didn't walk into a flower shop expecting anything. It was a favor, helping his uncle sell a business most people would've driven past without noticing. The kind of place with dusty corners, a poorly-lit sign, and just enough life left to survive. For Michael, standing there, looking around, it sank in.   This was how America gave flowers now. Flowers were rushed, impersonal, and often treated as just a transaction. No ritual. Just product moving through a pipeline. And yet, this was how people were trying to say "I love you." "I miss you." "I'm sorry." The most emotional gesture in human history had been flattened into a transaction. And no one seemed to notice.   It began with a refusal to accept that this was good enough for flowers. He stripped the entire system to its studs and rethought everything. Every process, every touchpoint. He built a new system from scratch.. One that cut out the noise. One that honored the hands, the farms, the designers, the clients giving and receiving. Because when people send flowers, they are trusting us with their heart. And that should never be taken lightly.   To Michael there's a permanence in flowers that goes much beyond how long they last. The blooms eventually experience their circle of life, but the feeling stays. The moment they carry becomes part of us.   Inspired by the European tradition of living with flowers daily, Michael wants to shift how Americans see them—not as a luxury, but as an essential meaning they bring to life. Flowers are love, and they are how we know that life can be beautiful. Everyone deserves to feel that.   Today, French Florist has grown from a quiet neighborhood shop into a rising national brand, expanding across the country. But to Michael, scale was never the point. The point was to protect a standard.   In a culture addicted to efficiency, French Florist is building something a little more human. Every stem is placed with intention. Every arrangement is an offering. Every delivery is a quiet rebellion against the idea that love and beauty are optional.    For Michael, it's always been about the flowers. And through them, a more loving world.   Links: www.frenchflorist.com  www.frenchfloristfranchise.com       Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Bukovina, when it has existed on official maps, has always fit uneasily among its neighbors. The region is now divided between Romania and Ukraine but has long been a testing ground for successive regimes, including the Habsburg Empire, independent and later Nazi-allied Romania, and the Soviet Union, as each sought to reshape the region in its own image. In this beautifully written and wide-ranging book Bukovina: The Life and Death of an East European Borderland (Princeton UP, 2025), Cristina Florea traces the history of Bukovina, showing how this borderland, the onetime buffer between Christendom and Islam, found itself at the forefront of modern state-building and governance projects that eventually extended throughout the rest of Europe. Encounters that play out in borderlands have proved crucial to the development of modern state ambitions and governance practices.Drawing on a wide range of archives and published sources in Russian, Ukrainian, German, Romanian, French, and Yiddish, Florea integrates stories of ethnic and linguistic groups—rural Ukrainians, Romanians, and Germans, and urban German-speaking Jews and Poles—who lived side by side in Bukovina, all of them navigating constant reconfiguration and reinvention. Challenging traditional chronologies in European history, she shows that different transformations in the region occurred at different tempos, creating a historical palimpsest and a sense among locals that they had lived many lives.A two-hundred-year history of a region shaped by the conflicting pulls of imperial legacies and national ambitions, Bukovina reveals the paradoxes of modern history found in a microcosm of Eastern Europe.

Part I: The Architecture of the Guest ExperienceLa Bottega Collective designs and produces the physical and sensory touchpoints of the luxury hotel stay, from bathroom formulations and textiles to amenities, gifting, and retail, working with 15,000 properties across 117 countries, from the world's most recognized hotel groups such as Aman and Four Seasons, to the finest independent properties such as Passalacqua and Il San Pietro di Positano. Tommaso Pacini, CEO of La Bottega Collective, argues that the guest experience is not a collection of amenities but a coherent sensory language, and that the hotels who understand this are the ones building something guests cannot find, replicate, or buy anywhere else.In Part I of this episode, Tommaso walks through how La Bottega Collective reads a property before designing a single touchpoint, why the choice between licensed and fully custom product programs is ultimately a question of time and conviction rather than budget, and how the most effective guest experience artifacts extend the emotional memory of a stay well beyond checkout.Thank you La Bottega Collective for making this episode possible.

His recent projects include the Edition Lake Como, W Rome, which he credits with catalyzing what W Hotels internally called its 2.0 positioning, and the Hotel Bauer Venice, acquired out of a bankruptcy process in partnership with Mohari Hospitality and flagged with Rosewood. He is currently developing a proprietary hotel brand, with a Paris property featuring Pharrell Williams as creative director serving as its first expression.Omnam operates across the full development stack, from site identification and capital structuring through to brand selection, design intent, and operational oversight. Omnam's LPs include institutional investor Bain Capital, and Mohari Hospitality, with whom David has built a partnership centered on a shared conviction about where luxury hospitality is heading. Omnam has worked with several major third party operators, and that breadth of exposure now informs both its underwriting discipline and its decision to build its own brand from a position of genuine industry knowledge rather than ego.In this episode, Nadine sits down with David to explore what it really takes to build a multi-billion euro development platform in luxury hospitality, from navigating fundraising from institutional capital and large family offices to acquiring one of Venice's most storied hotels out of bankruptcy.INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTSDavid's deal framework, and why any project where success is contingent on factors outside Omnam's control is a passHow the Hotel Bauer acquisition came together out of a bankruptcy process, with competing global bidders, layered political dynamics, and a timeline that tested everyone involvedUltra-luxury brand dilution and which operators are most exposed as generational wealth transfer acceleratesDavid's view on ADR stabilization, total in-hotel spend capture, and why the P&L conversation that matters most is not the one most investors are havingWhy David believes hotel operators should exit F&B operations, and what a properly aligned fee structure looks like from an owner's perspectiveThe tension at the center of building a scalable brand from a singular, heritage-driven flagship assetWhat David learned from managing institutional capitalLearn more about Omnam's portfolio ⁠here⁠.Follow Omnam on Instagram ⁠here⁠.

What if one proven methodology could turn B2B market share from stagnant to soaring, with a track record of guaranteed growth, yet almost no U.S. company has heard of it? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we speak with Hugo Van Den Biggelaar, a former Nike brand strategist turned evangelist for Bitsing, a 33-year-old European methodology that has fueled BMW, Shell, HP Enterprise, and thousands of organizations, with no failures on record. Hugo, now based in Brooklyn, New York, challenges core assumptions about B2B growth. He says most companies aren't failing because they do the wrong things, but because they do the right things in the wrong order and at the wrong time. What is the hidden sequence behind sustained revenue, and why is “brand awareness” sometimes a death trap? Hugo reveals why even the most successful B2B teams often aim at the wrong goals, how to build a “golden egg” competitors can't copy, and why emotional preference, not rational decision-making, drives billion-dollar deals. Why your growth efforts stall or how sales, marketing, and product can actually align, this conversation will leave you rethinking everything you know about predictable B2B success. Some topics we explore in this episode include: The Bitsing Methodology: Origins, proven track record, and impact on companies worldwideRight Actions, Wrong Sequence: How companies undermine growth by doing the right things in the wrong orderFinancial Goal Setting: The necessity of clear financial (not just KPI) goals: continuity, ambition, and dreamOrganizational Alignment: The need for unified goals and eliminating departmental silosThe Seven Principles/Steps: The stepwise framework that drives predictable growthData-Driven Focus: The Pencil Method: Using facts (not gut) to determine where revenue actually comes fromThe Golden Egg: Emotional Differentiation: Creating an emotional, uncopyable reason for customers to choose your brandStrategies vs. Goals: The common mistake of confusing means with ends 17:12.Driving Preference and Loyalty: Preference as the key to growth and how to create genuine, unconditional loyaltyPlan Execution & Guaranteed Results: The phases of implementation and what “guaranteed growth” means with Bitsing

The Global AI Summit just happened in New Delhi, and the message from India was clear: this country is no longer just writing code for the rest of the world. It's becoming an architect of the global AI order. Ivana Bartoletti, Chief Privacy and AI Governance Officer at Wipro and Council of Europe advisor, joins Craig Smith to unpack what that shift actually means. Her frame is the sharpest line of the episode: Europe writes the rules, the US writes the checks, and India is writing the code, in 22 languages. But she's careful to add that the AI race isn't just a technical one. It's about institutional capacity, the ability to absorb AI capability and drive it into real applications that serve real people at scale. The conversation ranges across the full landscape of AI's global moment: why companies that announced 100% AI replacement in customer service quietly had to rehire the humans they let go; why the popular narrative of "Europe regulates, America innovates" is a myth that doesn't survive contact with California's actual AI rules; and why India's strategic choice may prove to be the most durable positioning in a field where trust is becoming the scarcest resource. Bartoletti speaks from a genuinely rare vantage point: a European executive, sitting in Germany, working for an Indian company, advising the Council of Europe, watching the geopolitical AI order reorganize itself in real time.

Denmark is often celebrated as one of the world's most LGBTQ+-friendly countries. It was the first nation to legally recognize same-sex unions and remains a leader in many measures of equality. But does that mean the work is finished?In this Pride Month episode, Derek speaks with Steve Taylor, Head of Secretariat at Copenhagen Pride, about Denmark's LGBTQ+ journey—from trailblazing victories to the challenges that remain today.Together they discuss Denmark's place in European equality rankings, ongoing debates around conversion therapy, protections for transgender and intersex people, LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, and why progress can stall when societies assume the job is already done. They also explore the importance of Pride beyond Copenhagen, the role of community, and what recent events in places like Hungary reveal about the need to defend rights that many people take for granted.Whether you're celebrating Pride, curious about LGBTQ+ life in Denmark, or interested in how social progress happens, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at where Denmark has been—and where it still has room to grow.

Dorian also breaks down the differences between American and European basketball development systems, explaining why international players continue to make a major impact at the highest levels of the sport. Whether you're a coach, player, parent, basketball trainer, or simply a fan of the game, this episode provides invaluable insight into modern player development and the future of basketball. Topics Covered:

Lili Hellriegel is head of enterprise solutions at Cherry Servers, a Lithuania-based bare metal cloud provider that pitches itself as a sovereign, Web3-friendly alternative to the US hyperscalers. Before joining Cherry, Lili was head of infrastructure at staking firm Blockdaemon, where she built out data center partnerships, network architecture and the server specs behind validation workloads — work that left her unusually fluent in what crypto teams actually need from their infrastructure. Why you should listen The pitch for European infrastructure has rarely been louder, and Lili makes the case with the confidence of someone who has lived on both sides of it. Every major hyperscaler — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, even Oracle — is a US company, and for a growing cohort of Web3 teams that is no longer a neutral fact. Cherry Servers sits under European jurisdiction, runs its own facility in Lithuania, and operates data centers across Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Chicago, Singapore and a newly opened site in Tokyo. Some of Cherry's customers come for hard compliance reasons; others, Lili says, come for ideological ones, wanting the chains they help secure to live beyond the reach of any single government. The conversation lands at a moment when data sovereignty and distrust of concentrated American cloud power have moved from fringe concern to boardroom agenda. The sharper argument is about economics, and here Lili thinks the industry is approaching an inflection point. She describes a shift from "cloud-first" to "workload-first" thinking: instead of defaulting to a hyperscaler and accepting whatever T-shirt-sized instance you're sold, teams running archival nodes, validators or other niche workloads are discovering they pay more and perform worse than they would on dedicated hardware tuned to the job. Cherry's answer is granular customization — choose your disks, your storage, your RAM, and pay only for what the workload demands — backed by account managers who architect the build rather than just sell a box, with human support that answers in well under a minute. For staking-heavy customers, the model is almost self-funding: a large share pay in crypto, drawing on staking rewards to cover their infrastructure across some thirty different chains. Her forecast for the next eighteen to twenty-four months is the part worth sitting with. Lili argues the era of free cloud credits is ending — she doubts AWS will keep handing startups six-figure credit grants for signing up to an accelerator — and that founders, newly disciplined about runway, will increasingly treat optimized bare metal as a way to extend it. In the closing hot-take round she plants her flag as a multi-chain "Solana maxi," names Bitcoin as the enduring store of value while backing the smaller chains' upside, and offers a builder's creed: the market ultimately rewards people who make useful things on-chain, not those treating tokens purely as speculation — which, she adds, is also why she thinks people should run nodes with smaller providers. The desert-island sci-fi pick, naturally, is Star Wars. https://www.cherryservers.com/

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) US President Donald Trump keeps repeating that the Strait of Hormuz — through which one fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies normally flow — will reopen by Friday.But on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, where Iran likely dominated Monday’s dinner conversation, it’s clear that his European allies don’t share his optimism. They disagree that trade can resume by week’s end, like Trump promised, and have practical questions about what exactly was agreed before they can commit to de-mining missions and patrols.2) The UK announced new sanctions on what it said was a Russian intelligence network that has been acquiring Western technology for its military to use in Ukraine, as well as a further clampdown on its shadow fleet and illicit finance programs. Britain’s Foreign Office said it was exposing a front company called LLC Neptune Co Ltd, which it said was controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, and was involved in covertly procuring Western technology for the country’s military.3) SpaceX shares surged in premarket trading, putting the stock on track to extend a rally following its blockbuster debut last week. The shares rose 11% in New York, poised to build on the more than 40% gain across SpaceX’s first two sessions as a public company. The gains have lifted the market value of the rocket and AI company founded by Elon Musk above $2.5 trillion as of Monday’s close, bringing it within striking distance of Amazon.com Inc.’s nearly $2.7 trillion valuation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

H.W. Brands explains how, following the massacre in Poland, Roosevelt sought to modify the Neutrality Acts—laws passed in the mid-1930s specifically to prevent the types of economic and travel entanglements that had drawn the U.S.into World War I. Roosevelt argued that providing weapons to Britain and France would allow them to defend themselves, thereby keeping American troops out of the conflict. Lindbergh and anti-interventionist Senators like Burton Wheeler and Robert Borah remained deeply skeptical, believing Roosevelt was being "transactional" and dishonest about his true intent to lead the U.S. into a new European order. Roosevelt countered by attacking his critics early, using the word "isolation" like a "plague" and characterizing their views as well-meaning but ignorant. While some suggested Lindbergh as a potential 1940 Republican presidential candidate, he refused to enter politics, preferring to challenge the president through the airwaves. Roosevelt carefully shaped public opinion, fearing the type of backlash Woodrow Wilson faced for getting too far ahead of the populace. When France fell in just six weeks to the German Blitzkrieg in 1940, Lindbergh felt vindicated, arguing that American troops would have merely been trapped on the beaches. Meanwhile, Winston Churchill manipulated Roosevelt with warnings that a falling British government might surrender its fleet to Germany, successfully pressuring the president to send American destroyers to Britain.
