Points of Interest00:00 – 01:38 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes agency legal specialist Sharon Toerek, highlighting her long track record in the industry and setting the stage with a discussion about how quickly the agency world is changing.01:38 – 02:45 – Framing the AI Legal Conversation for Agencies: They position the core topic of the episode as the legal implications of AI adoption inside agencies, especially when serving enterprise clients with sensitive data and heightened risk concerns.02:45 – 05:03 – The Two Biggest AI Risk Buckets: IP and Data Privacy: Sharon identifies intellectual property and data privacy as the top two legal risk areas agencies must consider when using generative AI in strategy, creation, and data manipulation.05:03 – 08:11 – IP Infringement, Ownership, and Contract Clarity: She explains how generative AI can inadvertently infringe on others' IP, complicate ownership of deliverables, and increase the need for explicit AI usage and ownership language in MSAs and SOWs.08:11 – 10:23 – Agency-Created IP and Contractor Use of AI: Sharon explores the risks of building agency-owned IP with AI when ownership is uncertain, and stresses the importance of knowing how contractors use AI so their work aligns with promises made to clients.10:23 – 15:11 – The State of Case Law and Fair Use Signals: They discuss how little case law exists around AI, what early decisions suggest about training data and fair use, and why we still do not know how much human contribution is needed to secure protectable IP.15:11 – 18:26 – Blurring Lines Between Human and Machine-Created Work: Marcel and Sharon reflect on how modern creative tools embed AI in everyday workflows, making it harder to distinguish human-made from machine-generated content for legal and practical purposes.18:26 – 22:40 – A Practical Playbook for Reducing AI Legal Risk: Sharon outlines concrete steps agencies can take now: have AI conversations with clients, update contracts, understand tool terms, set internal and external AI policies, and right-size risk based on audience scale.22:40 – 26:05 – Where Insurance Fits in the AI Risk Equation: They examine how general liability, E&O, and cyber policies currently treat AI-related issues, and why insurers are likely to carve out or slowly add AI-specific coverage as risks and profits emerge.26:05 – 30:31 – Market Volatility, AI Shock, and Rising Agency M&A: Sharon connects AI disruption, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tension to a surge in small and mid-size agency deals, noting many founders are simply tired of reinventing their businesses again.30:31 – 35:40 – IP as a Lever in Exits and Next Career Moves: She makes the case that agencies who develop and package their own IP create more options in M&A, whether selling IP separately, splitting the business, or using it to launch the next chapter of their careers.Show NotesInnovative Agency PodcastWebsite: legalandcreative.comLinkedIn - Sharon ToerekM&A Webinar Replay with SharonLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

Today's Headlines: The Epstein files were legally due to drop on Friday — and instead, the DOJ punted. Rather than releasing everything as required, the department said it'll roll documents out gradually because it “ran out of time,” and posted about 13,000 heavily redacted files. Some documents then mysteriously vanished from the DOJ website, including a photo from Epstein's apartment that showed Donald Trump, prompting Democrats to demand a timeline and an explanation for what's now very likely an illegal partial release. DOJ leadership insists nothing — and no one — is being protected. Meanwhile, the New York Times filled in some gaps the DOJ didn't, publishing extensive reporting that describes Trump and Epstein as close friends, citing more than 30 former employees, victims, and witnesses. The report alleges Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell introduced Trump to at least six women who later accused him of grooming or abuse, including one who was a minor at the time. Trump has denied the allegations. In other news, authorities say the suspect in last weekend's Brown University shooting — now deceased — may have targeted MIT fusion researcher Nuno Loureiro, whom he reportedly knew from an academic program in Portugal. The motive remains unclear, but the case has raised eyebrows amid Trump Media's sudden merger with a nuclear fusion company and new reporting that Putin heavily influenced Trump's Ukraine envoy. Add in fresh revelations about Stephen Miller pushing for military strikes wherever he could find a target, murky inflation data thanks to shutdown gaps, Trump rescheduling marijuana (and nodding off while doing it), and Elise Stefanik abruptly dropping out of New York's governor race — and yes, it was another very normal news week. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: NYT: What to Know on the Initial Release of Materials From the Epstein Files CNBC: Epstein files: A number of documents, including Trump photo, reportedly removed from DOJ release site Yahoo: Trump's FBI Spent Nearly $1 Million on Redacting Epstein Files The Independent: Epstein files live: Whistleblowers could hold key, says Democrat, while Bondi tweet provokes fierce backlash ABC News: Top DOJ official denies there's any effort to redact mentions of President Trump from Epstein files NYT: ‘Don's Best Friend': How Epstein and Trump Bonded Over the Pursuit of Women WaPo: Brown, MIT Professor Shootings linked, suspects found dead The Guaardian: Why is Truth Social owner Trump Media merging with a fusion energy firm? | Mergers and acquisitions Substack: The Russia-adjacent “connective tissue” points that are real, documentable, and potentially problematic if Trump Media (TMTG / Truth Social) is merging with TAE.

In this solo episode of 365 Driven, host Tony Whatley pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood topics in entrepreneurship: private equity, mergers & acquisitions, and what "exits" really look like in the real world. Tony starts with hard data that every founder needs to hear—how many businesses actually survive 5 and 10 years, how few ever sell, and why the "big exit" stories on social media distort expectations. He then breaks down how businesses are valued (including multiples and transaction realities), why the median business sale is far lower than most entrepreneurs assume, and what makes a company truly attractive to buyers. From there, Tony shares his perspective on the private equity business model—why firms sometimes "overpay," how roll-ups work, what changes after an acquisition, and why founders should think carefully about transition timelines once they suddenly have a large payout and a new boss. He also addresses the criticism founders often face when they sell, how to think about exits through the lens of business cycles and personal goals, and why complaining about industry consolidation is never a strategy. If you're building with the hope of one day selling—or you want to understand how to increase your valuation, protect your team, and position yourself for a smart exit—this episode delivers the real talk most entrepreneurs don't get until it's too late. Key highlights: Why exits are rarer than entrepreneurs think   The reality of business survival rates (Year 1, 5, and 10)   How many businesses actually sell—and why the number is so low   The truth about average business sale prices   Public reactions to acquisitions: sellouts vs success   How private equity roll-ups really work   The hidden downside of staying on post-exit   Choosing the right buyer vs the highest multiple   Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

However, his comeback could be short-lived. The character is being pushed towards Hope for the Future, but this could be a false start.  B&B spoilers reveal Thomas Forrester's return was announced by Casey Kasreke, who mentioned that Atkinson was back filming for a week, leading to speculation about the longevity of his return. Thomas' reappearance at Forrester Creations has created a stir, particularly with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) who doesn't want to work closely with her ex-boyfriend. This discomfort is further amplified by the fact that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is ready to fire Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) to make room for Thomas. Spoilers for Bold and Beautiful indicate showrunner Brad Bell's reluctance to have Thomas back full-time adds another layer of uncertainty to his return. Despite fans' desire for Thomas' permanent return, it seems likely that his reappearance is designed to reignite the rivalry between Hope and Steffy. The fashion house's decision to sideline Katie Logan (Heather Tom), Hope's sister, has also added fuel to the fire, potentially setting the stage for a significant shift in the storyline. More B&B spoilers highlight the ongoing struggles within the Logan family. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is caught between her happiness with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and the family drama unfolding around her. Meanwhile, Katie has decided to leave Forrester Creations and pursue her own fashion house.  This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for the #1 Soap Opera Channel, Soap Dirt.

Scrutiny intensifies over the still-unsolved shooting at Brown University, as investigators face criticism for missteps, missing evidence, and unanswered questions about motive. A separate killing of an MIT professor raises speculation about possible foreign intelligence interests, while Rep. Ilhan Omar faces renewed investigation over alleged immigration fraud tied to marriage and citizenship laws. The episode turns to broader concerns about the rule of law, including revelations that wealthy Chinese nationals are exploiting birthright citizenship through surrogacy arrangements in the US. Bryan examines growing voter frustration over congressional inaction, the Senate filibuster, and whether the system can still respond to what many see as national security threats. He also reflects on President Trump's controversial remarks following the murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, arguing that both moral clarity and compassion can coexist. Abroad, Australia grapples with deep divisions after Muslim communities condemn the man who stopped an ISIS attacker from killing more Jews. In Ukraine, Congress approves another 800 million dollars in defense funding amid corruption concerns, even as drone warfare rewrites the future of naval combat. Germany and France discuss deploying troops to Ukraine despite limited readiness.

Trump's Oval Office Meltdown, Bongino Exits FBI, and UnitedHealth's Deadly Denials Last night's Oval Office address from Donald Trump was meant to reassure the nation—but instead became an awkward, rambling spectacle that many are calling an international embarrassment. Trump insisted the economy is “fine,” listed supposed accomplishments, and brushed off serious problems as minor issues he alone can fix. The result was painful to watch—and deeply revealing. Was it incompetence, denial, or something else entirely? And does it explain why Dan Bongino abruptly stepped down as FBI Deputy Director? Plus, a major reckoning for UnitedHealthcare. After years of denying and delaying critical care, the company now faces wrongful death lawsuits following the deaths of three nursing home residents who were blocked from emergency hospital treatment. Is accountability finally coming—and how many more cases are waiting in the shadows?

On this episode: President Trump addresses the nation and announces a sweeping blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, escalating tensions and sending shockwaves through global markets. We break down what the blockade actually means, how it could be enforced, and why the administration moved thousands of troops and nearly a dozen warships — including an aircraft carrier — into the region. We analyze Venezuela's furious response, the legal questions surrounding blockades as acts of war, the impact on oil prices, and what experts say a long-term blockade could trigger for both migration and inflation.Then we turn to Dan Bongino, who announced he is stepping down as FBI Deputy Director in January. We cover his statement, Trump's reaction, the internal tensions surrounding the Epstein memo, Bongino's clashes with Attorney General Pam Bondi, his obsession with the January 6 pipe bomb case, and the speculation that he may return to broadcasting. We also look at how his departure fits into the broader turnover inside the administration.Finally, we dive into the explosive Vanity Fair / Susie Wiles story. The reporter, Chris Whipple, doubled down and revealed that every interview — including candid remarks about Trump — was recorded, even as Wiles called the article a “disingenuously framed hit piece” that stripped out context. We lay out what Wiles actually said, how the administration pushed back, and why this story is causing such a political and media firestorm.#Venezuela #DanBongino #SusieWilesGet more AoA and become a member to get exclusive access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOfx0OFE-uMTmJXGPpP7elQ/joinGet Erin C's book here: https://amzn.to/3ITDoO7Get Merch here - https://bit.ly/AnthonyMerchSubscribe to the Anthony On Air Podcast here:Facebook - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirFBYouTube - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirYTApple Podcast - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirAppleSpotify - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirSpotTwitter - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirTwitterInstagram - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirInstaTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@anthonyonairpodDiscord - https://discord.gg/78V469aV22

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show I sat down with David Royce because his story is completely different from the typical online marketing path. He did not build funnels first or chase trends. He built real businesses in the real world, scaled them with systems, sold them, and then did it again… And again… And again. What fascinated me most was not just the money or the exits, but how intentional he was about learning, focus, culture, and fulfillment along the way. David started knocking doors with zero sales and turned himself into a top performer by obsessively studying sales. That obsession carried him from managing college sales teams to building and selling multiple pest control companies across thousands of cities. In this conversation, we dig into what actually made that possible, the unsexy work most entrepreneurs avoid, and why success without systems eventually collapses. Key Highlights: ◼️How David went from early rejection to elite performance by studying sales daily and treating selling like a craft you train for ◼️Why systems are the real secret to scaling and the simple test he uses to know if a business can grow without the owner ◼️The mindset shift from manager to operator and how he prioritizes tasks so the important work does not get buried under urgent noise ◼️How he built culture intentionally, protected core values while scaling fast, and used outside influences to shape how he led teams ◼️Why his greatest advantage is focus and obsession, how he trains it, and the books he credits for sharpening his thinking across sales, systems, and leadership David also opens up about happiness, obsession, and why the goalpost always moves if fulfillment is tied only to money. We talk about work seasons, choosing the right partner, and why knowing when to step away can be just as important as knowing how to scale. This is a conversation about building something real, learning deeply, and designing a life you actually want to live. ◼️You can find David on LinkedIn if you want to follow what he does next. ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

The signs are all around us. The climate cult is losing its grip on our politics and culture. The UN's climate conference, COP30 in Brazil, was a flop that even the alarmist cheerleaders in the legacy media could not ignore. A major paper justifying radical climate action was just retracted. The Sierra Club is shedding a shocking number of members.

Blatant theft and an act of piracy. That's what Venezuela is calling the actions of the United States in the seizure of an oil tanker. The ship was leaving Venezuela when US Marines and Special Forces dropped down from a helicopter and took the tanker. It's the latest in a string of actions, including blowing up so called "drug boats", escalating a possible confrontation between the US and Venezuela. We'll discuss whether it was piracy or lawful with former federal prosecutor David Katz.

What if losing your life savings on your first investment at age 27 became the catalyst for understanding why 90% of startups get stuck for the same psychological reasons? That's exactly what happened to Dave Hersh, founding CEO of Jive, board partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and author of Reignition. Dave grew Jive from an open-source project to a NASDAQ IPO, bootstrapping to $12 million over five years before raising venture capital. But when he watched Atlassian, a comparison company that started at the same time, stay on their original trajectory and become worth over $20 billion while Jive eventually died on the public markets, he realized fear and insecurity had driven his capital decision rather than genuine strategy. That painful lesson shaped everything Dave now teaches as an executive coach and General Partner at Metamorph Partners. After working with hundreds of stuck companies, he discovered that 90% of failures trace back to the same psychological patterns. Not cash. Not product market fit. Not competition. Subconscious patterns driving decisions without founders knowing. The statistics are sobering. Between 80 to 95% of founders suffer mental health issues while running their companies. Even successful founders have an 85% chance of experiencing depression or struggles for up to 10 years post-exit. Only 15% are truly thriving after they sell. Dave introduces his inner board meeting framework, which helps founders identify the internal parts driving major decisions. The child wanting safety. The hero wanting to save everyone. The warrior that cannot let go. When you understand these patterns, you can work toward compromises that break through stalemates. The conversation covers when and why to raise capital versus bootstrap, the transition process between identities that most founders skip, and the human-first competitive moats that will define success in the AI era. For founders navigating capital decisions, stuck companies, or the complex terrain after exit, this episode offers a different lens on what actually determines outcomes.

Today's guest is Jaclyn Johnson, a serial entrepreneur, investor, and the founder of Cherub, a new platform reimagining how early-stage founders and investors connect. Before Cherub, Jaclyn built and exited Create & Cultivate, leading her to over $25M of exits and cementing her as one of the most influential builders in modern women's business culture.In this conversation, we get into the real stuff behind the highlight reel, from navigating divorce and dating in the middle of a very public career, to the unsexy realities of selling a company, starting again, and figuring out what you really want your life to look like on the other side. We also talk about how she thinks about modern entrepreneurship, where the creator and founder worlds are colliding, and why building a brand that actually means something has never been more important.

As 2025 comes to a close, our editors had the difficult task of selecting their picks for the best moments of the year in culture. We invited Taylor Antrim, Deputy Editor at Vogue, and Marley Marius, Features Editor at Vogue, to run through the year's best film, television, music, theater, books and plenty of miscellaneous pop culture gems. We also tapped the rest of our Vogue editorial team to share their top culture moments of the year. Big favorites include Sentimental Value (starring The Run-Through alum Renata Reinsve), Marty Supreme, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Rosalia's new album Lux, and so much more!Plus, we get into all the news of the week, including Dario Vitale's exit from Versace less than a year after he was hired in March 2025, and just two days after Prada Group's acquisition of the brand for $1.25 billion. Also top of mind are Matthieu Blazy's Chanel Metiers d'art show right here in New York City, the Gotham Awards, and the British Fashion Awards.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about the CFDA banning the use of fur in shows on its official New York Fashion Week calendar, following similar decisions by fashion weeks in London, Copenhagen and Berlin. We also discuss the U.K. banning ads from brands like Nike, Superdry and Lacoste over misleading sustainability claims. Lastly, we discuss the Prada-Versace deal, which officially closed this week, just a day before creative director Dario Vitale departed the company. Vitale served as Versace's creative director for only nine months. Later in the episode, Zofia is joined by Leanne Elliott Young, CEO of the Institute of Digital Fashion, to discuss the growing use of digital passports in the fashion industry. Digital product passports, or DPPs, embed product data into a scannable code that lets both retailers and customers track an item's provenance. The idea is to make authentication easier and keep a record of the chain of possession of an item, particularly a luxury item, over the course of its life. The E.U. recently passed a regulation requiring all products sold starting in 2027 to have a DPP, forcing brands to start thinking about implementing this feature.
