Natalie shares her journey from professional bodybuilder and pipe fitter to health entrepreneur, explaining how her early awakening to medical system corruption—influenced by voices like Ron Paul and G. Edward Griffin—led her to create a functional sweetener that supports gut health rather than destroying it. The conversation covers the devastating effects of sugar on immune function, hormones, and metabolic health, with Natalie revealing shocking research about sucralose causing insulin resistance in teenagers within days. She breaks down Dulsa's unique formulation combining prebiotics, probiotics, organic monk fruit, and allulose to support natural GLP-1 production without pharmaceutical side effects. John and Natalie discuss the challenges of bringing clean products to market in a system designed to favor big food and pharma, the importance of elimination diets like carnivore and keto for therapeutic purposes, and why sustainable lifestyle changes beat quick fixes. The episode concludes with practical advice on sunlight exposure, honest self-evaluation, and building habits that restore metabolic function rather than creating dependency.

Autonomous logistics continues to advance as cities seek safer, more efficient ways to move goods. Neolix Technology focuses on driverless vehicles designed for intracity delivery, offering a full solution that includes hardware, algorithms, and operational services. The company has deployed a large fleet of autonomous vehicles operating on public roads, supporting daily logistics needs across multiple regions. This approach reflects a shift toward automated systems capable of maintaining consistent service even in challenging conditions.The vehicles are designed to support e‑commerce, grocery delivery, retail replenishment, and warehouse‑to‑store transport. By removing the driver's cabin, the internal cargo space is expanded significantly, allowing more goods to be moved per trip. This design increases efficiency while reducing the operational costs associated with traditional delivery fleets. The technology supports continuous operation, including during extreme weather events, which helps maintain supply chains when human drivers may be unable to reach affected areas.Scalable Vehicle Platforms for Urban TransportNeolix offers a portfolio of autonomous vehicles ranging from compact one‑cubic‑meter units to larger models with twelve cubic meters of internal space. The mid‑sized platform, comparable in size to a traditional van, provides roughly fifty percent more cargo capacity due to the absence of a driver compartment. This range allows the system to support a variety of commercial applications, from small parcel delivery to larger retail and wholesale distribution.The vehicles are designed for intracity environments where frequent stops, short routes, and dense traffic patterns require precise navigation. The autonomous system manages routing, obstacle detection, and real‑time decision‑making, enabling consistent performance across diverse conditions. The technology is intended to support both scheduled deliveries and on‑demand logistics, creating flexibility for shippers and fleet operators.Global Expansion and Market PrioritiesNeolix focuses on regions experiencing driver shortages and strong interest in autonomous technology. Expansion has already begun in markets such as the United Arab Emirates, with additional pilot programs underway in Europe and Latin America. The long‑term vision includes widespread adoption of autonomous logistics across global urban centers, supported by both Neolix vehicles and similar systems developed by industry peers.The company's strategy emphasizes collaboration with shippers, fleet managers, and logistics providers. Partnerships with major delivery organizations support large‑scale deployment, while smaller fleet operators can integrate the vehicles into existing operations. The technology is positioned to support industries where hazardous environments, high labor demands, or extreme weather create challenges for traditional delivery methods.Maintenance, Support, and Operational InfrastructureA key component of Neolix's approach is the development of a support ecosystem that ensures reliable operation. The vehicles are designed with modular components, including a head module that can be replaced quickly by local service partners. Remote monitoring and teleoperation teams provide real‑time oversight, allowing issues to be diagnosed and addressed without requiring on‑site intervention in many cases. When physical support is needed, local partners are dispatched to perform repairs or maintenance.This infrastructure enables continuous operation and reduces downtime, which is essential for commercial logistics. The combination of modular hardware, remote diagnostics, and local service partnerships creates a scalable model that can be replicated across new markets as adoption grows.ConclusionNeolix Technology advances autonomous intracity logistics through a fleet of driverless vehicles designed for retail, e‑commerce, and warehouse distribution. With expanded cargo capacity, modular hardware, remote support systems, and global pilot programs, the company demonstrates how autonomous delivery can enhance reliability, reduce operational costs, and support safer logistics environments. As cities continue to modernize their transportation networks, autonomous delivery systems are positioned to play a central role in the future of urban logistics.Interview by Scott Ertz of PLUGHITZ Live.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

In this discussion focusing on global legal expansion, special guest Robert C. Bata, Founder and Principal of Warwick Place Legal, joins CM Murray LLP Partners Corinne Staves and Zulon Begum to explore what drove global expansion in 2025, the challenges, lessons learned and what law firms should expect in 2026 and beyond. In particular, Corinne, Zulon and Robert discuss: Global Expansion Trends in 2025: - Middle East and Latin America emerged as major growth hotspots. - Disputes work fuelled much of the international expansion. - Firms focused on domestic consolidation before going cross‑border. What Enables a Successful Expansion or Merger? - Clear strategic purpose and partner alignment. - Early preparation on governance, liabilities and due‑diligence issues. - Upfront planning for tax and regulatory hurdles. Cultural and Remuneration Compatibility: - Culture = collaboration and integration, not “nice chemistry.” - Remuneration models must align or be phased carefully. - Headline PEP isn't the real story; long‑term value is. Beyond Full Merger: Alliances & Other Models: - Alliances can work, but only with strong quality control. - Networks offer reach, not integration. - Verein models remain useful but face growing pressure to evolve as firms seek deeper integration. Outlook for 2026 and Beyond: - Expect continued expansion into the Gulf and Latin America. - More UK-US merger interest on both sides. - Realignment in Asia, with shifts away from China. - Greater pressure for deeper financial integration globally. If you have any questions arising from this recording, or would like to discuss international expansion in more detail, please contact Partners Corinne Staves and Zulon Begum of CM Murray LLP or Robert C. Bata of Warwick Place Legal. Robert C. Bata is the Founder and Principal of WarwickPlace Legal, LLC, a consultancy specialising in cross‑border expansion strategies for leading law firms.

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news that the Company's recently completed acquisition of KraftyLab is already accelerating its global footprint, highlighted by the launch of in-person experiential offerings and a major rollout of AI-driven platform automation. The initiatives mark an important evolution in KraftyLab's business model as it scales to meet rising enterprise demand for immersive, hybrid engagement solutions. Gappelberg explained that KraftyLab has initiated a dual-stream strategic expansion. This includes the nationwide launch of its highly anticipated in-person event catalog, alongside a comprehensive, AI-powered technology overhaul designed to support scalable global operations. Together, these developments are intended to address strong and growing demand from enterprise clients seeking meaningful, human-centered connection, while also establishing a high-margin, B2B growth foundation heading into the 2026 fiscal year. As part of the expansion, KraftyLab has significantly increased its physical presence by enabling on-site team-building experiences across the mainland United States. Enterprise customers can now access professionally hosted, in-person events in more than 20 major metropolitan hubs nationwide. Offerings include premium experiences such as Canvas Painting and Card Decorating sessions, as well as interactive formats like Team Trivia and Feud Night, all designed to strengthen collaboration, morale, and engagement among distributed workforces. To support the rapid expansion of its experiential catalog, KraftyLab is executing a major technical transformation of its platform. The overhaul is focused on eliminating manual processes, streamlining booking and fulfillment workflows, and increasing operational intelligence through AI-driven automation. These enhancements are expected to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enable the platform to scale seamlessly as demand continues to grow. Gappelberg noted that the combination of in-person experiences and intelligent automation positions KraftyLab—and Nextech3D.ai—at the forefront of the evolving enterprise events and engagement market. By integrating physical experiences with AI-powered infrastructure, the Company aims to deliver consistent, high-quality experiences at scale while driving stronger margins, customer satisfaction, and long-term global growth. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets #kraftylab

Cleveland Whiskey was my first-ever equity crowdfunding investment (May 16, 2016), and founder/CEO Tom Lix has sent detailed quarterly updates ever since. In this episode, we cover 00:00–03:03 why Tom built a technology company in spirits—not just another craft label; 03:03–06:09 how pressure-aging in stainless tanks unlocks flavors from non-oak woods (black cherry, hickory, apple) and produces great whiskey in hours not years; 06:09–09:27 the pivot to concentrates and why India's “Indian-Made Foreign Liquor” niche is a game-changer for price and margin; 09:27–12:47 the new 45,000 sq. ft.

Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight the company's strong Bitcoin production performance in December 2025, underscoring significant year-over-year growth, continued quarter-over-quarter momentum, and consistent month-over-month operational strength, despite seasonal weather challenges affecting parts of the Northern Hemisphere. During December, HIVE produced a total of 306 Bitcoin, representing a 197% increase compared to the same period last year. This achievement came even as global Bitcoin mining difficulty rose approximately 40% year-over-year, emphasizing the company's operational efficiency and expanding mining capacity. HIVE also delivered solid sequential growth, with production increasing 6% month-over-month and 23% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting rising hashrate levels and continued improvements in fleet efficiency. The company averaged approximately 9.9 Bitcoin per day during the month, supported by an average hashrate of 23.3 exahash per second, with peak performance reaching 24 EH/s. While extreme cold weather in certain Northern Hemisphere regions temporarily constrained peak hashrate availability, HIVE's geographically diversified operating model helped mitigate these impacts. With operations spread across three continents, nine time zones, and five languages, the company was able to maintain high uptime, operational resilience, and consistent production levels. Looking ahead, Holmes also outlined HIVE's plans for further expansion of its renewable-powered infrastructure. The company intends to develop an additional 100 megawatts of hydroelectric-powered data center capacity at its Yguazú campus in Paraguay, with full commissioning targeted for the third quarter of calendar year 2026. Long-lead-time substation components have already been ordered, positioning the project to stay on schedule. HIVE plans to deploy the new capacity under a disciplined return-on-invested-capital framework, with a focus on optimizing free cash flow from its green-energy-powered data center assets. Upon completion of the Yguazú expansion, HIVE's total renewable energy footprint is expected to reach approximately 540 megawatts across its operations in Paraguay, Canada, and Sweden, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainable, large-scale digital infrastructure growth. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BuzzHPC #AIInfrastructure #NvidiaH200 #QuebecDataCenter #SustainableTech #GPUCluster #TorontoTech #AITraining #HiveDigital #LiquidCooling #Supercomputing #GreenEnergyAI #Exahash #HighPerformanceComputing

In this episode, Wendy sits down with John Saylor, a seasoned international business leader, to explore what it really takes to succeed in global markets. Drawing on real-world experience across Europe and beyond, John breaks down common misconceptions about international expansion and explains why cultural nuance, local insight, and strategic patience matter more than speed or scale. The conversation dives into how companies often underestimate regional differences, over-rely on English, and miss critical opportunities by treating “international” as a single market. John shares practical examples, lessons learned from market entry wins and failures, and advice for leaders who want to build trust, relevance, and long-term growth across borders. Whether you're just beginning to explore international markets or looking to refine an existing global strategy, this episode offers grounded, actionable insight from someone who's been there. You'll learn: Why “one-size-fits-all” global strategies fail — and how cultural, linguistic, and regional differences directly impact growth and trust How to approach international market entry more strategically, including where companies commonly go wrong when expanding into Europe and other regions What global-minded leaders do differently, from adapting messaging to building local credibility and long-term relationships

____________Guests:Suzy PallettPresident, Black Hat. Cybersecurity.On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzy-pallett-60710132/The Cybersecurity Community Finds Its Footing in Uncertain TimesThere is something almost paradoxical about the cybersecurity industry. It exists because of threats, yet it thrives on trust. It deals in technical complexity, yet its beating heart is fundamentally human: people gathering, sharing knowledge, and collectively deciding that defending each other matters more than protecting proprietary advantage.This tension—and this hope—was on full display at Black Hat Europe 2025 in London, which just wrapped up at the ExCel Centre with attendance growing more than 25 percent over last year. For Suzy Pallett, the newly appointed President of Black Hat, the numbers tell only part of the story."What I've found from this week is the knowledge sharing, the insights, the open source tools that we've shared, the demonstrations that have happened—they've been so instrumental," Pallett shared in a conversation with ITSPmagazine. "Cybersecurity is unlike any other industry I've ever been close to in the strength of that collaboration."Pallett took the helm in September after Steve Wylie stepped down following eleven years leading the brand through significant growth. Her background spans over two decades in global events, most recently with Money20/20, the fintech conference series. But she speaks of Black Hat not as a business to be managed but as a community to be served.The event itself reflected the year's dominant concerns. AI agents and supply chain vulnerabilities emerged as central themes, continuing conversations that dominated Black Hat USA in Las Vegas just months earlier. But Europe brought its own character. Keynotes ranged from Max Meets examining whether ransomware can actually be stopped, to Linus Neumann questioning whether compliance checklists might actually expose organizations to greater risk rather than protecting them."He was saying that the compliance checklists that we're all being stressed with are actually where the vulnerabilities lie," Pallett explained. "How can we work more collaboratively together so that it's not just a compliance checklist that we get?"This is the kind of question that sits at the intersection of technology and policy, technical reality and bureaucratic aspiration. It is also the kind of question that rarely gets asked in vendor halls but deserves space in our collective thinking.Joe Tidy, the BBC journalist behind the EvilCorp podcast, delivered a record-breaking keynote attendance on day two, signaling the growing appetite for cybersecurity stories that reach beyond the practitioner community into broader public consciousness. Louise Marie Harrell spoke on technical capacity and international accountability—a reminder that cyber threats respect no borders and neither can our responses.What makes Black Hat distinct, Pallett noted, is that the conversations happening on the business hall floor are not typical expo fare. "You have the product teams, you have the engineers, you have the developers on those stands, and it's still product conversations and technical conversations."Looking ahead, Pallett's priorities center on listening. Review boards, advisory boards, pastoral programs, scholarships—these are the mechanisms through which she intends to ensure Black Hat remains, in her words, "a platform for them and by them."The cybersecurity industry faces a peculiar burden. What used to happen in twelve years now happens in two days, as Pallett put it. The pace is exhausting. The threats keep evolving. The cat-and-mouse game shows no signs of ending.But perhaps that is precisely why events like this matter. Not because they offer solutions to every problem, but because they remind an industry under constant pressure that it is not alone in the fight. That collaboration is not weakness. That sharing knowledge freely is not naïve—it is strategic.Black Hat Europe 2025 may have ended, but the conversations it sparked will carry forward into 2026 and beyond.____________HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

【聊了什么The What】 本期节目，小蓝和小杨将自己“逼到墙角”，聊一聊让我们甘心情愿入坑的国际K-Pop女团KATSEYE。这个由六个截然不同的文化背景、肤色成员组成的团体出道曲成绩优异，而且靠hyperpop单曲“Gnarly”迅速出圈，已经成为美国炙手可热的新人偶像。她们身上那种“全校最漂亮的mean girls跟你天下第一好”的鲜活与“有病又有梗”的魅力与以往的女团相比更松弛、自由。 但同时，KATSEYE也代表着K-pop全球扩张战略“质变”的一个成功样本——HYBE和Geffin Records强强联手不仅是韩美资本的一场盛大联姻，更是一个将K-pop工业化造星体系移植到美国本土的庞大实验。我们跟随着出道纪录片《Popstar Academy》，见证这场巨大的“楚门秀”如何将活生生、充满棱角的女孩们锻造成精美的商品。在这套精密运作的资本逻辑下，“人”与“商品”的边界变得模糊，友谊、梦想与自我认同被撕裂，作为娱乐献祭给全球观众。从成员选拔中无法掩盖的地缘政治与种族“拼色游戏”，到闵熙珍与HYBE的冲突所揭示的平台垄断与创作者困境，我们探讨K-pop这套“反人性”却极致高效的体系在全球复制时，究竟是在输出文化，还是在输出一套更精密的规训与控制？ In this episode, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yang dive into KATSEYE, the international K-pop girl group that's completely hooked us. This six-member group debuted to chart success and broke into the mainstream with hyperpop single "Gnarly." They radiate a chaotic, meme-able charm—"the prettiest mean girls who are also ride-or-die for you"—that feels more relaxed and subversive than previous girl groups. But KATSEYE also represents K-pop's global expansion "qualitative shift." The HYBE and Geffen Records collaboration transplants K-pop's industrialized star-making system onto American soil. Their Netflix documentary Popstar Academy was a "Truman Show" forging strong personalities into polished products, where the line between "person" and "commodity" blurs. From market-driven diversity in member selection to Min Hee-jin's conflict with HYBE exposing creator struggles, we ask: is K-pop exporting culture—or a sophisticated apparatus of exploitation and control? 【时间轴 The When】 02:32 - 04:55 - KATSEYE 是个什么样的女团？ 04:55 - 10:49 - Gnarly歌曲制作中加入不雅声音引发的巨大争议，行业应该如何对待未成年偶像 10:49 - 13:30 - KATSEYE成员台上和台下的反差魅力，“发疯”的Gen-Z女团来整顿韩娱了 13:30 - 18:47 - 纪录片《Popstar Academy》的“楚门秀”式选秀、K-pop严苛的训练体系如何与美国文化碰撞 18:47 - 28:31 - Manon的角色弧光与争议：不努力是偶像最大的原罪吗？ 28:31 - 45:19 - 选秀的残酷本质、地缘政治与种族配额：国籍、市场等因素如何决定谁能出道 45:19 - 53:37 - HYBE x Geffen资本联姻背后的商业模式、全球扩张野心 53:37 - 59:19 - NEWJEANS 的官司里闵熙珍与HYBE的争议是创新、复制与控制权的根本矛盾 59:19 - 69:54 - K-pop的造星方法论走向世界的过程中会去芜存菁吗？ 02:32 - 04:55 - Who is KATSEYE?

Law firms everywhere are debating private equity. Sir Nigel Knowles has already lived the full arc, from global expansion to IPO to take-private. Joining hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg, the former global managing partner of DLA Piper and former CEO of DWF unpacks a career built on bold growth and tough calls. He shares how a 90-person practice in Sheffield became DLA Piper through disciplined strategy, relentless execution, and a shift from territorial “country barons” to one global firm. He walks through the three-way merger that hit at exactly the right moment, the lessons he carried from mentors like Senator George Mitchell, and why real leadership means setting direction and sustaining momentum long after the headlines fade. Sir Nigel also pulls back the curtain on DWF's public listing and why the market ultimately couldn't support a professional services model. Taking the firm private with Inflexion unlocked capital, agility, and focus — a path he believes more firms will follow as technology, talent costs, and scale demands collide. His message to law firm leaders: build a coalition, define where you're going, and act. Consensus can come later. The firms that act with clarity and conviction will own the future of the profession.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 From Sheffield Practice to Global Expansion at DLA Piper   05:01 Taking DWF Public: Why the IPO Model Fell Short   08:07 Private Equity vs. Public Markets in Law Firms   15:17 Leadership Lessons from Senator George Mitchell and Other Mentors   15:10 Strategy, Culture, and Conviction in Firm Growth   22:08 The Future of Law Firm Consolidation and Capital Models   28:30 Sir Nigel's Advice to Managing Partners, Act Before Consensus   Connect with Sir Nigel Knowles: Connect with Sir Nigel on LinkedIn Sir Nigel's Website Bio Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Rene Federico, US Head of Marketing at Primark, joins Future Commerce to discuss the international retailer's first major marketing push in America after a decade of organic growth and physical retail expansion. Drawing on over 20 years at heritage brands like Nike and Converse, she shares insights on building brand relevance in a performance-obsessed era, translating the "joy of shopping" to different US markets, and why the customer should always be the hero of the story.Stat Chasers Never WinKey takeaways:Brand relevance makes you less interchangeable with competitors in the marketThe marketing funnel has collapsed—social media now operates across all stagesInnovation thrives under constraints; limited resources drive creative solutionsTrue brand equity isn't measured on a 30-day dashboard; free yourself from over-measuring creative campaignsCustomers deserve brands that enable participation, not just transactions[00:12:28] "You can stat chase or you can build strategies that help you win as a team. The outcomes will be different depending on your approach." – Rene Federico[00:33:06] "Consumers don't shop your org chart, they shop your brand. Business models don't shop—customers do." – Rene Federico[00:45:31] "When you get someone to buy something, that is an exertion of power.
