According to the International Energy Agency, around 25% of the world's seaborne oil trade is transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, and the options to bypass it are limited. According to the UN Trade and Development Organization, around 30% of global seaborne fertilizer volumes pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Both have been significantly impacted by the US-Iran war.

AI is not hype — it is the most consequential economic shift since the Industrial Revolution, and it is rewriting the investment playbook. Lance Roberts and special guest, Blackrock's Brian Dunlap, break down the full AI and tech stock story: how we got here, where the money is flowing, and what investors need to know right now. From the infrastructure build-out and enterprise adoption to physical AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, we walk through the entire investment cycle — including the IDGT and BAI ETFs, the hyperscalers driving capex, and why data centers are the revenue-generating factories of the AI era. (More information may be seen at iShares.com). We also tackle the hard questions: Is this a boom or a bubble? Are debt concerns valid? What is circular financing, and how does it affect long-term sustainability? And what does the road ahead look like as we approach the critical inflection point from training to inference?

This is a Q&A session from the Soul Searchers Retreat. Acharya das delivers a comprehensive discussion on spiritual life versus material life, emphasizing the fundamental distinction between material consciousness (identifying with the physical body) and spiritual consciousness (recognizing oneself as an eternal spiritual being). He explains that material life is founded on the belief that "I am material," while spirituality recognizes "I'm an eternal spiritual being." A wide range of topics were addressed (as you can see from the chapters listed below) including the concept of karma yoga which was introduced as a process of integrating life activities with spiritual practice by offering all actions as service to a higher spiritual reality. **************************************CHAPTERS 00:00 Distinguishing Material and Spiritual Life02:39 The Concept of Karma Yoga 04:09 The Bhagavad Gita: Arjuna's Dilemma05:42 Arjuna's Breakdown and Krishna's Response08:24 Krishna's Teaching on Duty and Nature09:46 The Radical Teaching of Spiritual Action11:23 The Lesson of Utilizing Our Tools12:42 The Fundamental Shift in Consciousness14:06 Two Schools of Thought: Traditional vs. Advaita15:43 Critique of the "I Am God" Philosophy17:05 Qualitative Oneness vs. Quantitative Difference18:31 The Complete Whole Principle21:40 The Appeal of False God-Realization22:58 Three Aspects of Self-Realization23:56 The Inevitable Fall from Impersonal Realization25:37 Three Features of the Absolute Truth27:30 The Nature of Transcendental Connection29:40 Comparing Levels of Transcendental Happiness31:27 Rejection of Blind Faith32:42 The Problem of Consciousness Filters33:26 Indescribable Spiritual Delights34:52 The Importance of Questioning35:46 Proper vs. Improper Questioning37:07 The Problem of False Self-Importance39:32 Three Authorities in Vedic System41:00 Internal Spiritual Guidance43:17 Alignment of Spiritual Authorities45:13 Universal Accessibility of Spiritual Realization46:19 Divine Assistance for Sincere Seekers48:05 Recognition of Spiritual Truth49:30 Encouragement and Final Thoughts50:35 Kirtan Meditation**************************************

Only a few years ago, Uber was losing a couple of billion dollars each year, had billions of dollars in debt, and needed an actual path to profitability. I thought Uber was going bankrupt. But things have changed! DRASTICALLY! Uber is profitable and generated almost one billion dollars in free cash flow in a quarter. The company is also expected to join the S&P 500 index on December 18th, 2023, and things are looking GOOD on the financial statements. In today's episode, I dig into what has changed inside Uber's financial statements and discuss whether Uber is a buy now. Resources:

Episode Table of Contents[00:43] Unpacking the Biggest Headlines in Cybersecurity News [08:21] Major Catastrophe [16:03] Cybersecurity News Highlights the Highest Level of Vulnerability [23:59] A Quantum Shift in Cybersecurity News Episode Links and Resources Unpacking the Biggest Headlines in Cybersecurity NewsCarolyn: Today we talked to https://www.linkedin.com/in/williehicksee/ (Willie Hicks), Dynatrace public sector CTO. He'll unpack some of the biggest headlines of late from the Executive Order on Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Log4j. I know Willie, you're so sick of this topic, but we're going to cover it anyway, and then Zero Trust Thunderdome Awards. I want to go first to the Executive Order requiring improving the digital government experience. Willie, will you give us the big takeaways from this Executive Order? What does it mean for our agencies? Willie: First of all, I think that the Executive Order on Transforming is transforming the federal customer experience. It is going to impact the agencies, but I also think it's going to impact the digital citizens of the day, the real customers of the federal government. I think President Biden reiterated this, it's supposed to be a government for the people, by the people. We're trying to put people back into the equation. I think the big takeaway for me is that the federal government is coming back into or getting to a point where they're really understanding that customer experience, well, they already understood it. But they're really starting to internalize and figure out how to make customer experience like the customer experience most citizens expect to see with anybody who shops on Amazon, anyone who does a Google search.A Fundamental Shift in Customer ExperienceWillie: They expect, with the push of a button, that they got all the groceries shipped to them the next day or the same day. That kind of experience you do not get with the federal government today. I think that we're seeing a fundamental shift now, not just that kind of digital experience, but I think across the board. Like when you even walk into a brick or a mortar building, when you interface on the phone with a government employee, I think we're going to start, hopefully, seeing more customer-focused, customer-centric type attitudes. This is really long overdue. I've been in this business for many years. I remember one of my early visits to a federal agency that will remain nameless, but I was speaking to this agency about what we call our digital user experience. How we need to focus on the real metric who's the end user. Right now, you are focused on the back end. You're focused on, is the server up or down? Is this process running? Do I have availability for this device? No one's actually really looking at the end user. So how do you know they are getting a good experience? Not only are the systems running, but are they running efficiently? Are they getting transactions back in a timely manner, or are they frustrated?I remember one engineer saying, "Well, why does that matter?" I'm like, "It does matter because they're your number one responsibility. That is who pays your salary." This person, an engineer, actually said to me, "Well, there's not another X agency. It's not like they're going to go somewhere else. This isn't Amazon or another commercial entity. If it doesn't work, they'll come back later." That was the response. And I was like, wow! Smooth Government TransactionsCarolyn: It makes me think of when my dad died a few years ago. We wanted to give him a full military burial, but we couldn't find the papers that we...

The leap from Richard Branson to crypto isn't that big, as it turns out. For venture capitalist Mags Kala, all it required was quitting her day job. Kala used to work at Bain Capital, helping out big brand names like Shea Moisture and Virgin Voyages. But one day she decided to leave it all behind and strike it out on her own. After about a year of going solo, she's become especially keen on the Web3 space. On this week's episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, Kala explained how and why she made the jump. For her, as a consumer investor, she wanted to be on the ground floor of the biggest changes in regards to how regular people spend their time and money. That's what initially turned Kala on to the world for crypto. What was it that made it click? According to Kala, an expensive digital avatar of an ape. “Joining the Bored Ape NFT craze was very eye-opening for me,” Kala said. Here, she was describing the company Bored Ape Yacht Club, which auctions off pixelated pictures of apes using blockchain-based contracts and cryptocurrency. While it's a phenomenon mostly for people online (with a lot of money to spare), Kala said the rise of these NFT artists made clear many other things as well. At its core, these types of new programs hit at a base-line question she's always trying to answer as a consumer investor, Kala said: “What's truly next for the consumer economy?”

Dr. Andreas Weber (he/him) is a Berlin-based book and magazine writer and independent scholar. He has degrees in Marine Biology and Cultural Studies, having collaborated with theoretical biologist Francisco Varela in Paris. Andreas' work focuses on a reevaluation of our understanding of the living. He proposes to understand organisms as subjects, and hence the biosphere as a meaning-creating and poetic reality. Accordingly, Andreas holds that an economy inspired by nature should not be designed as a mechanistic optimization machine, but rather as an ecosystem that transforms mutual sharing of matter and energy in a deepened meaning. Andreas has contributed extensively to developing the concept of enlivenment in recent years, notably through his essay Enlivenment: Towards a Fundamental Shift in the Concepts of Nature, Culture and Politics (Berlin 2013; published in expanded and rewritten form as Enlivenment: Toward a Poetics for the Anthropocene, MIT Press, 2019). He has also put forth his ideas in several books and is contributing to major German magazines and journals, such as GEO, National Geographic, Die Zeit and Greenpeace Magazine. Weber teaches at Leuphana University and at the University of Fine Arts, Berlin. He is also part of the staff of und.Institute for Art, Culture and Sustainability, Berlin, which is devoted to link the fields of art and culture with the field of sustainability, and to develop exemplary models of productive exchange; and was named the 2016 Jonathan Rowe Commons Fellow, Mesa Refuge, Point Reyes, CA, USA. In this episode, Andreas and Brandi talk about the intersections of Love + Death, including: How one of his books helped Brandi fall back in love with the world a handful of years ago. The first time they both remember death becoming real in our lives, not just conceptually, but somatically. How our world is in a century-long struggle against death. The physical experience of aliveness. What biology has to say about purpose. How you can’t just be concerned with your own aliveness at the expense of others and your community. What fermentation and composting have to do with community and healthy ecosystems. How Andreas is trying to make himself more edible. How he’s leaning further into more animistic thinking. The challenge of institutionalizing these ideas at scale. Or, how we might “organize” aliveness. How Dr. Weber practices love in his life practically. Listeners can find Dr. Andreas Weber at his website, https://biologyofwonder.org/ and on Twitter @biopoetics.

This is a special presentation of Day 2, GeekWire's podcast about everything Amazon. For more episodes, see geekwire.com/day2 or subscribe to Day 2 in Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. Direct retail sales are poised to represent less than half of Amazon's business for the first time in its history — a fundamental shift that reflects the e-commerce giant's expansion beyond its roots as an online store. Revenue from Amazon Web Services, Amazon Prime, third-party seller services, online advertising and other services added up to 49.3% of Amazon's business in the second quarter. It almost matched the company's revenue from online and physical stores, and appears to be on a trajectory to surpass them in the future. That's one of several takeaways from Amazon's second-quarter earnings report, released Thursday afternoon. On this episode of Day 2, GeekWire's Podcast about everything Amazon, we nerd out over Amazon's numbers. Joining GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop for the discussion are two online retail industry veterans who pay close attention to Amazon's business: Our podcast collaborator, Jason Boyce, former Top 200 third-party seller, founder of Avenue7Media and co-author of The Amazon Jungle. Andrea Leigh, vice president of strategy and insights at Ideoclick, a Seattle-based e-commerce technology and services firm that works with vendors to Amazon's first-party retail sales, and third-party sellers. Leigh was an Amazon general manager and retail category leader for nearly 10 years. Coverage of Amazon earnings: Amazon sales of $113B disappoint Wall Street but profits of $7.8B exceed expectations Amazon's advertising business is surging amid industry-wide ad sales boom for tech giants Amazon boosting wages and hiring incentives to keep up in competitive labor market See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob is a coach and philosopher who has developed a powerful philosophy on living that he calls "The Fundamental Shift." It involves stepping outside of the lenses of our thoughts and how they shape what we see and achieve a greater awareness on how we shape what we see and how we can use that knowledge to adopt more functional lenses that allow us to get a more optimal grip on our relationship with the world.
