Podcasts about Goldman Sachs

Oil prices are expected to fall further following news that the US and Iran agreed to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But oil is unlikely to return to pre-war levels for some time, according to Goldman Sachs Research's Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research and head of oil research. Struyven says that oil is still at risk of rising because of lingering effects from the conflict, persistently low inventory levels, and the possibility that the Strait of Hormuz never fully reopens. Goldman Sachs Research projects Brent oil will average $75 per barrel next year, down from about $80 at the time the podcast was recorded.    The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change without notice, and may not necessarily reflect the institutional views of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.

What if everything you're optimizing for in marketing — attention, clicks, engagement — is a proxy for the one thing that actually drives action? Pranav Yadav is the Founder & Global CEO of Neuro-Insight, the world's largest measure of memory. His company maps brains to determine what advertising actually does to people — second by second — with an 86% correlation to real-world sales. In this conversation, he makes the case that memory is the only metric that matters, explains why hyper-personalization is destroying culture, and breaks down exactly why Budweiser's most iconic Super Bowl ad failed at the brain level while Samsung's Wallhuggers became their most successful campaign ever. Pranav Yadav is a former Goldman Sachs trader turned neuroscientist, Forbes 30 Under 30, and Ad Age 40 Under 40. He created the Neuro Impact Factor — the brain-based metric that all Australian out-of-home media is now traded on.   Key takeaways • 90% of all memory is subconscious — brands have been measuring the wrong 10% • $750 billion in annual marketing spend is wasted because recall ≠ memory • The brain is a pattern-seeking storytelling device — personal relevance opens the door to memory • Hyper-personalization destroys the shared cultural memory that makes marketing work • The #1 rated Super Bowl ad (Budweiser Lost Puppy) placed the brand at the exact moment the brain stopped encoding memory • Samsung's Wallhuggers hid the brand for 45 seconds and became their most successful campaign   Follow Pranav on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pranavyadavpy Learn more: neuro-insight.com   Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:31 The Urdu Couplet That Opens the Conversation 2:28 Marketing Has Been Leaning on Pseudoscience for Decades 5:09 Why Memory Is the Only Metric That Matters 8:32 The Shirt Test: Recall vs Memory 12:23 How to Get Into the 90% — Story Is the Boat 15:17 What 5,000-Year-Old Vedic Rituals Teach About Memory 19:41 Alexander the Great vs the Naked Wise Man 24:28 MasterCard's Priceless: Finding the Core Truth 27:29 Why Brands Don't Do This (It's Hard) 32:23 Brain Mapping: How Neuro-Insight Actually Measures Memory 39:26 Brand Architecture: The Formula Every Brand Needs 43:48 Why Hyper-Personalization Will Destroy Society 50:54 Why 90% of Super Bowl Ads Fail at the Brain Level 54:17 Budweiser's Lost Puppy: The #1 Ad That Failed 58:04 Samsung Wallhuggers: Genius at the Memory Moment 1:00:25 Why LLMs Are Trained on the Shadow of Thinking 1:07:41 Vows, Not Values: How Neuro-Insight Stays Creative 1:15:51 The Neuro Impact Factor: Changing How Australia Trades Media 1:19:57 What Makes a Great Billboard 1:20:23 Where to Find Pranav   ----Mission.org is a media studio producing content alongside world-class clients.

On June 12, 2026, SpaceX completed the largest initial public offering in history, raising $75 billion and officially debuting on the Nasdaq. This monumental financial event propelled Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire as the company's valuation soared to $2.1 trillion by the end of its first trading day. Investment experts and analysts highlight that while the stock saw a nearly 20% surge, the listing was characterized by unprecedented scale and strategic scarcity engineering by lead underwriters like Goldman Sachs. Beyond the financial figures, the sources emphasize how SpaceX's affordable launch costs and Starlink satellite business are establishing the critical infrastructure for a new era of space-based innovation and AI data centers. While the debut was a massive success, market commentators warn that historical data suggests long-term volatility for high-valuation IPOs once initial investor lockup periods expire. This historic milestone reflects a significant shift in global capital markets and solidifies the company's dominance in the burgeoning commercial space industry.

Der DAX kämpft um die Marke von 25.000 Punkten, während der Euro Stoxx 50 bereits neue Rekorde markiert. Gleichzeitig fällt der Ölpreis deutlich, nachdem sich Hinweise auf ein Abkommen zwischen den USA und dem Iran verdichten und die Straße von Hormus wieder geöffnet werden könnte. Im Fokus dieser Ausgabe steht jedoch der Trade der Woche: Die Porsche-Aktie bricht nach einer positiven Analystenstudie von Goldman Sachs aus einer zwölfmonatigen Seitwärtsbewegung aus. Sind jetzt 54 oder sogar 60 Euro möglich? Welche Chancen bieten Porsche AG und die Porsche Holding? Und warum könnte eine überraschende Erholung der europäischen Autoaktien gerade erst beginnen?

In this episode of Rethinking Leadership, Roemer Visser speaks with Christopher O.H. Williams, former Fortune 500 executive, advisor, speaker, and author of C.O.U.R.A.G.E.: Seven Choices for Living a Life Without Regret. Williams held senior roles at Nike, Adidas, and VF Corporation, after earlier working at Gap, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers. By most conventional standards, he had built an exceptionally successful career. And yet, in 2018, he stepped away from the corporate world. That decision becomes the starting point for a thoughtful and personal conversation between Roemer and Christopher about success, freedom, purpose, and courage.

My Guest: Scott Harrison is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit that has raised over a billion dollars and funded tens of thousands of water projects to bring safe drinking water to millions. He previously spent a decade as a New York City nightclub promoter before a dramatic career shift led him into humanitarian work. Key Learnings Scott started a charity: water with $20 from a birthday party. Then $15,000... Twenty years later: over a billion dollars raised, 21 million people served. He says it should be 10 to 100 times more. The cure for water already exists. We're looking for water on Mars while 700 million people drink dirty water on Earth. We solved this hundreds of years ago. We just haven't implemented it. 25% of the money sitting in American donor-advised funds would give every human on Earth clean water. That's parked philanthropic capital. Already tax-benefited. Just waiting. The goal is always 10X what you're doing. If we raised a million last year, we want ten this year. If we raise $100 million, we should raise a billion. The opportunity is always orders of magnitude larger than the moment. Show, don't bullet. Scott shows 210 photos in a 45-minute keynote. No PowerPoint. Single images. A story unfolds frame by frame. Be early to the technology. First charity on Instagram. First to hit a million Twitter followers. First to use VR. The question is always the same: how does this new thing further the mission? The 100% model: solve for the cynic.  Public donations go to one bank account that funds only water projects. Overhead is raised separately from entrepreneurs and business leaders. Then track every donation to a specific village. Don't be mid. Scott's 11-year-old daughter says nobody wants to be mid. Excellence is a core value. There's a lot of mid out there. Design everything. The fact cover sheet. The PowerPoint. The website. The package. "We're always dating." If the message comes in an ugly package, you're at a disadvantage before you start. Treat the donor like a Michelin three-star guest. If a restaurant can think that carefully about a meal, you can think that carefully about a donor who can save a million lives. The Goldman Sachs partner who changed Scott's paradigm. Before making an eight-figure ask, Scott asked a partner: "How does it feel when people ask for a lot more than you expected?" The expected answer was irritated, offended, put off. The actual answer: "I feel flattered that they think I would be that generous." People are generous. The well is there. You just have to drill deep enough. Scott has spent 20 years asking for too little. That might be his next obsession. People give to people, not causes. A dynamic leader who transfers their enthusiasm gets the donation. The cause doesn't. Most of the donations Scott and his wife give are to people, not topics they were already passionate about. Talk 10% of the time. When Scott meets a donor for the first time, he wants to know their whole life story. Their marriage. Their kids. What they wanted to be when they grew up. Be genuinely curious or don't bother. Hire for integrity, humility, curiosity, and energy... 16,000 applicants for 36 roles last year. Energy matters most. Someone who can get you fired up about pickleball, Patagonia, or a new running shoe is exactly who you want on the executive team. The dinner test for hiring: Can you imagine having this person at your home for two hours at dinner? And wanting to keep them for another hour? Get the whole life story. Scott wants the arc from the beginning to the present in an interview. If someone can't tell their own story coherently, they probably don't know themselves yet. The 11-year-old with the piggy bank. He told his parents he was going to fund a whole village. They told him to set a realistic goal. He went knocking on doors. He came back with $10,000. Scott's experience lab in Nashville. A 60-minute immersive tour. A 100-degree room with a treadmill where you carry a 40-pound water vessel. Microscopes that show you parasites. A VR film that ends in celebration. The "give shop," not the gift shop. 53% of visitors donate. 10,000 visitors. $3.9 million raised in year one. Scott's champagne moment: a single billionaire who picks water. The water sector doesn't have one. Republicans and Democrats agree on it. Atheists and people of faith agree on it. Everyone has to drink. Reflection Questions What is the 10X version of your current goal? Where are you asking for too little because the smaller ask felt safer? Who in your work or life is the Michelin three-star guest, the customer, donor, or partner who deserves your most thoughtful experience design?  When was the last time you went 10% talking, 90% genuinely curious about someone else's story?  More Learning:  #290: Scott Harrison – Redemption, Compassion, & The Transformative Power Within Us #680: Scott Galloway - Don't Follow Your Passion, Follow Your Talent #682: Will Guidara - Adversity is a Terrible Thing to WasteAudio Chapters 00:00 The Price of Becoming - Pre-Order Now! 01:18 Welcome Back, Scott Harrison 02:56 From a $20 Bill to Over $1 Billion Raised 04:59 Why the Goal Should Always Be 10X (or 100X) 07:54 Storytelling: How to Get People to Care About a Problem They Don't Feel 10:30 Being Early to Instagram, Twitter, and VR 16:10 Radical Transparency: The Bank Account That Built Trust 19:51 The Beauty of a Healthy Obsession 21:22 Drilling Deep for the Artesian Wells of Generosity 25:04 What It Feels Like in the Room When Generosity Breaks Through 27:01 "Nobody Wants to Be Mid." 30:56 Design Everything: We're Always Dating 32:13 Treat Your Donor Like a Michelin Three-Star Guest 35:39 Selling With Integrity: Talk 10%, Listen 90% 39:15 16,000 Applicants for 36 Jobs: What Scott Looks For 43:12 The Power of Vulnerability in Hiring 45:39 Inside the Nashville Experience Lab 50:34 The Champagne Question: A Billion-Dollar Vision 52:10 The 11-Year-Old Who Raised $10,000 Door-to-Door 54:25 EOPC  

Yesterday SpaceX became the largest company ever to go public, in an IPO that values Elon Musk's rocket-and-AI conglomerate at $1.78 trillion. But SpaceX is just the first. Anthropic and OpenAI have both filed to go public, Alphabet has just raised a record $85 billion in new stock, and Meta is reportedly considering doing the same. Goldman Sachs expects as much as $675 billion of new equity to hit the market this year.For two decades the stock market did nothing but shrink — companies stayed private, bought back their own shares, and got taken private by private equity, leaving less and less stock to go around. That era is now over. In this video I look at why all of this is happening at once, what the AI buildout has to do with it, why the SpaceX deal has been such an awkward experience for Wall Street, what the prospectus actually reveals about where the $75 billion is going, and whether any of it is a good investment — with a look back at what happened to people who bought Cisco at the top in 2000.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Im April 2005 nannte der damalige SPD-Chef Franz Müntefering Finanzinvestoren „Heuschrecken" – auf der internen SPD-Liste standen elf Namen: KKR, Apax, Goldman Sachs, BC Partners, Carlyle, Permira, Blackstone, CVC, Advent, Saban und WCM. Münteferings Lehrstück war die Grohe AG. Einundzwanzig Jahre später ist Grohe globaler Marktführer im Sanitärbereich, Hauptsitz Düsseldorf, mehrere tausend Beschäftigte. Bei Grohe ist die Heuschrecke zu einem Aufbauhelfer geworden.Im Juni 2026 fand in Berlin die SuperReturn International statt – das weltgrößte Branchentreffen mit über 6.000 Investoren aus 80 Ländern und rund 50 Billionen Dollar Anlagevermögen. Die deutsche Realität dazu: Jedes vierte Startup erwägt laut Digitalwirtschaftsverband Bitkom, das Land zu verlassen, weil es hier keine Wachstumsfinanzierung findet. Über 75 Prozent des Wagniskapitals im ersten Quartal 2026 kamen aus dem Ausland. 2,8 Billionen Euro Anlagekapital liegen in deutschen Versicherungen, Pensionskassen und Stiftungen. 14 Milliarden Euro davon könnten jährlich in deutsche Wachstumsunternehmen fließen – wenn die Regeln passen würden. Die deutsche Wachstumsfrage ist eine deutsche Kapitalfrage.Daniel Stelter spricht darüber mit Ulrike Hinrichs, Hauptgeschäftsführerin des Bundesverbandes Beteiligungskapital (BVK), der sich selbst als Stimme der Venture-Capital- und Private-Equity-Branche in Deutschland bezeichnet.Hinweis ABSTURZ – So retten wir Deutschland: das neue Buch von Daniel Stelter.

Episode 4144 │ June 13, 2026 Xi named America's decline. Trump called it an honor to be his friend. China has been building to this moment since the first panda sent West in 1869. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Part Five of the Panda Gambit series delivers the series finale — and the series close Scott Kesterson has been building toward since La Pine, Oregon said no to a data center. The episode opens with an honest corrective: this series has documented Western imperial actions against China and China's strategic return to global power, but the evidence does not support a simple story of deserved Western punishment. Mao Zedong killed between 40 and 80 million of his own people — one of the largest self-inflicted death tolls in human history — and the question of what the Han resistance networks did or did not do to stop it remains unresolved and must be asked plainly. Scott then delivers the Iran campaign weapons math that explains why Trump flew to Beijing rather than the other way around: 45% of Precision Strike Missile stockpile burned, half of THAAD interceptors gone at a production rate of 96 per year, over 1,000 Tomahawks expended representing ten years of production — all while a $50,000 Iranian drone forced a $3.4 million THAAD intercept at a 68-to-1 cost ratio that emptied American magazines. The Beijing summit of May 13-15, 2026 is examined in full: Xi's opening sentence naming the Thucydides Trap and framing China as Athens and America as Sparta, Trump's response calling it an honor to be Xi's friend, the Truth Social post six hours later in which Trump accepted Xi's framing of American decline, the room full of US corporate titans whose primary interests are already shaped toward accommodation with Beijing, and an outcome Goldman Sachs described as deal momentum becoming managed coexistence — with no rare earth deal, no AI framework, a Boeing announcement China never confirmed, and a beef agreement reversed within hours. The 157-year arc from the panda's 1869 Western introduction through the Beijing summit is mapped through the Pixiu cosmological lens. The episode closes with the sharpest distinction the series can offer: China's Mandate of Heaven flows downward from emperor to people — the American republic was founded on the structurally opposite principle that rights flow from God to each individual person, and governments are instituted to protect what each person already holds. The oligarchs operating across all three systems — Chinese, Russian, and American — are behaving as if they hold a mandate the American founding never granted them. La Pine gets the last word. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What does the Iran campaign weapons math reveal about why Trump flew to Beijing — and what does it mean that the US military cannot rebuild Tomahawk and THAAD inventories without Chinese rare earth materials? What did Xi say in his opening sentence at the Beijing summit — and what did Trump's response, both in the room and on Truth Social six hours later, reveal about the negotiating position America arrived with? Who was in the room with Trump in Beijing — and when Elon Musk sat across from Xi with Tesla's primary manufacturing base on Chinese soil, who exactly was he representing? What is the 157-year arc from the panda's 1869 Western introduction to the May 2026 summit — and how does the Pixiu cosmology explain what actually crossed the border after two days of summit diplomacy? What is the sharpest distinction between China's Mandate of Heaven cosmology and the American founding principle — and why does it matter that concentrated oligarch power is claiming a mandate the republic never granted?

This forced major investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to act as glorified order-takers without even knowing their exact compensation beforehandSaudi Aramco $1.7T; Alibaba: $237B; Facebook $118BNasdaq aggressively pushed through "fast-entry" rule changes specifically to allow mega-caps like SpaceX to bypass the traditional year of seasoning and enter the Nasdaq-100 in just 15 trading days.

Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcThe Space IPO story keeps getting more suspicious… and at this point, this channel may officially be the number one hater channel for this IPO.In this breakdown, we react to a video asking whether the Space IPO is a scam, and the concerns are hard to ignore. Space is reportedly preparing to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPF, raising around $75 billion at a valuation near $1.75 trillion. That would make it the biggest IPO in history… and also one of the strangest.The biggest issue is the valuation. Space is reportedly being priced far above recent private-market valuations, despite losing billions, burning cash, and trading at a revenue multiple that makes even the biggest tech stocks look cheap by comparison. Then add in underwriters leaking extremely bullish projections, index providers changing fast-entry rules, and billions in passive money potentially being forced into the stock early.That's where retail investors need to be careful. The FOMO story is everywhere: “buy the IPO or miss the next Amazon forever.” But if the real reason for going public is to give early investors an exit, regular investors could end up being the bag holders.✅ Space IPO, Nasdaq ticker SPF, and $1.75 trillion valuation✅ Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, underwriters, and bullish projections✅ Index fund rule changes, passive investing, and forced buying✅ Retail FOMO, exit liquidity, and IPO bag holder risk✅ OVTLYR discipline, trading plans, and avoiding hype trapsIf you're thinking about chasing the Space IPO just because everyone online is talking about it, this one gives you several reasons to slow down first.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Drawing on her decades of experience, and a manufacturing mindset rooted in Quality Assurance, Denise shares a practical perspective: AI isn't something you fear or blindly chase—it's something you use intentionally. Join us as she discusses: The delicate balance between opportunity and risk. Real-world productivity gains AI can deliver vs. the critical need for human oversight. Data security, privacy, and long-term platform stability. The promise (and creepiness) of hyper-personalization. Why choosing the right tools matters more than trying every tool.  If you've been wondering how to adopt AI without getting lost in the hype—or building your business on shaky ground—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward thoughtfully. About Your HostDenise Cagan has been working with small businesses for 25 years.

Private markets have stalled since interest rates started to rise in 2022, even as public markets have climbed to new highs. But a period of sustained economic growth along with rising liquidity and AI-driven innovation could help private markets rebound, according to Goldman Sachs' Pete Lyon and Michael Brandmeyer. Despite longer private equity holding times and mixed performance from private credit funds, they remain cautiously optimistic, projecting that distributions will gradually return to 15%-20% and that deal activity could exceed its 2021 peak within two to three years.

OpenAI confidentially filed for an IPO on May 22 and announced it publicly on June 8. The valuation: $852 billion. The catch: the company loses $1.22 for every dollar it earns, and internal documents project a $14 billion loss in 2026 with no path to profitability until 2029.This episode breaks down the filing and the math behind it. Revenue is running around $2 billion a month, tripling year over year since 2023. The March funding round closed at $122 billion. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan are leading the deal, and Sam Altman is targeting a September listing, which would put OpenAI at 34x to 40x revenue at a price between $852 billion and over $1 trillion.Then there's the competitive context. Anthropic filed its own confidential S-1 a week before OpenAI, at a $965 billion valuation, which now sits above OpenAI's. SpaceX starts trading Friday at $1.75 trillion. Three of the largest IPOs in history are landing inside a month, and the order they go matters: if Anthropic prints a profitable quarter before OpenAI lists, the market gets a benchmark for what a "good" AI company looks like, and OpenAI has to clear it.The filing also became possible because of one ruling. Two days before the confidential submission, a jury dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI on a statute of limitations technicality. That was the single biggest legal obstacle to going public, and it was cleared first.We cover what the numbers mean for developers and businesses building on the API, why a public OpenAI optimizes for margins instead of developer experience, what the tender offer for employees signals about liquidity pressure, and whether public market investors will actually pay a premium on a company burning $14 billion a year.OpenAI IPO, OpenAI S-1, Sam Altman, $852 billion valuation, AI IPO 2026, Anthropic IPO, SpaceX IPO, AI bubble, AI stocks, ChatGPT, Goldman Sachs, September IPO.

"We try to take sustainability to every aspect of what we do, because when you build a company, you have impact." —Karen Behnke In this episode of Essential Ingredients, Justine sits down with Karen Behnke, a serial wellness entrepreneur and a true pioneer in the clean beauty movement long before it became mainstream. From co-launching Goop Beauty with Gwyneth Paltrow to being recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the most innovative entrepreneurs, Karen's journey is anything but ordinary. But this conversation goes deeper than accolades. Karen shares the moment everything shifted—when she realized that despite her background in wellness, she had never questioned what she was putting on her skin. That realization sparked a mission to challenge the beauty industry and rethink how products are made, sourced, and experienced. You'll hear how her work now blends organic farming, biotech innovation, and sustainability, including growing rare grapes on her own certified organic vineyard and developing plant-based exosome technology. It's a powerful look at how beauty, health, and the planet are more connected than most of us realize. This episode is for anyone curious about what's really in their skincare—and what it means to choose better. In this episode, we cover: • The turning point that changed Karen's view on the beauty industry • Why clean beauty is about more than just ingredients • The connection between farming, skincare, and environmental impact • How innovation is shaping the future of beauty • What consumers should start paying attention to today • If you've ever wondered what you're really putting on your skin, this conversation will shift the way you think.

Bill Lenihan is the Founder and CEO of ZOLA Intelligence (ZOLAi), a company delivering AI-driven enterprise technology solutions that are transforming energy infrastructure in emerging markets. Under his leadership, ZOLA has expanded across multiple countries, supported hundreds of thousands of off-grid facilities, and secured over $25 million in Series A funding. Bill has held operating and private equity roles at Goldman Sachs, Bain & Co., Calera Capital, and Switch Lighting, shaping his expertise in business expansion. He holds a BA in business and economics from UCLA and an MBA from The Wharton School.  In this episode… Across much of the world, access to reliable energy is still expensive, fragmented, and heavily manual. Communities and businesses often rely on outdated systems that are difficult to scale and maintain. What would it take to transform this broken infrastructure into an intelligent, connected energy network? According to Bill Lenihan, an entrepreneur and operator focused on energy access in emerging markets, the key lies in turning inefficient, fragmented systems into streamlined, intelligent platforms without needing to fully replace what already exists. He highlights the evolution from distributing solar-powered hardware in remote regions to building a data-driven, software-enabled model that improves deployment, maintenance, and financing. A major turning point came when large-scale operational challenges revealed the limits of manual coordination, accelerating a shift toward automation and intelligence. This approach has enabled more scalable, affordable, and sustainable energy access while improving outcomes for end users and operators alike. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Bill Lenihan, Founder and CEO of ZOLAi, to discuss building an AI-native enterprise to solve global energy challenges. They explore the shift from hardware to software-driven energy services, how automation and AI scale infrastructure in emerging markets, and how data unlocks financing and access. Bill also shares insights on enterprise sales, telecom partnerships, and building a board with relevant operating expertise.

Mariam Naficy is the founder and chairman of Minted — the online marketplace where independent artists around the world sell everything from cards to wall art to home decor. She's also the founder and CEO of Arcade, an AI platform reimagining how physical products get designed and made.But before any of that, Mariam was the child of immigrants who fled Iran after the revolution and rebuilt their lives from scratch. Watching her family lose everything left her, by age ten, with one conviction: she would have to take care of herself. That drive carried her through Goldman Sachs and Stanford — where she became one of the only MBAs in her class to skip the corporate path and bet on herself, back when entrepreneurship wasn't really a thing.In 1998, she co-founded Eve.com, one of the first online beauty retailers — back when investors told her women would never buy makeup online. It sold for over $100 million, just two weeks before the dot-com crash. Years later, she launched Minted. And it nearly broke her. Zero sales for months. Critics who dismissed the idea. A newborn at home. And the fear that her first big win had just been luck. The turnaround came when she stopped guessing, and started asking artists and customers what they actually wanted — and built one of the earliest creator-economy success stories.In this episode, Mariam shares how fleeing Iran shaped her relationship with risk and money, what her mother meant when she said "beat all the boys," and why she bet on herself with no family history in business. We get into building Eve in the earliest days of e-commerce, selling a company before 30, and the darkest stretch of Minted — when she was ready to give her investors their money back. She tells us how she got through those dark times, the mindset that kept her going, and the advice she'd give other founders. She also opens up about motherhood, self-doubt, the pivot that saved the company, and what she's building now with Arcade.In this episode, we'll talk to Mariam about:* How fleeing Iran shaped her relationship with risk and financial independence. [03:24]* Why financial security became a driving force. [04:20]* Choosing entrepreneurship over the traditional corporate ladder.

Before founding Barebone he came up through elite finance: a summer analyst stint at Warburg Pincus (2019), then Goldman Sachs — starting as an IB summer analyst (2020) and spending roughly three years on the Hybrid Capital team. He left that institutional track to build a consumer fintech company, splitting time between Hong Kong and San Francisco.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-yu-fung-tam/

In this episode of Retail War Games, I am joined by David Heacock, the founder and CEO of Filterbuy, for an absolute masterclass on what it takes to disrupt a commodity category. David walked away from a career as an options trader at Goldman Sachs to buy a struggling industrial supply house in Alabama, eventually pivoting it into one of the largest direct-to-consumer air filter manufacturers in the United States, on track to clear over $300 million in revenue. David pulls back the curtain on why he views Filterbuy strictly as a logistics business rather than an air filter brand. Because air filters are incredibly expensive and bulky to ship, David solved the scaling equation by building a massive manufacturing and fulfillment network. Spanning nine facilities across the US and Canada, his infrastructure allows Filterbuy to produce 150,000 filters daily and achieve next-day delivery to 80% of the country. We also break down the broken realities of the retail shelf space landscape, why the omnichannel strategy of matching online and in-store pricing is pricing major retailers completely out of the market, and how Filterbuy uses granular zip-code purchase data to prove exactly why traditional big-box stores are stocking the wrong sizes. From expanding into commercial B2B spaces like hospitals and hotels to their massive new push into mini-splits and air purification verticals, David's framework is a masterclass in scale, operational moat-building, and engineering an unbeatable consumer advantage.

Kathryn “Kathy” Ruemmler's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became a major reputational crisis because it was not presented as a brief, distant, or accidental association. Newly released DOJ Epstein files and prior reporting showed that Ruemmler, a former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer and general counsel, maintained friendly contact with Epstein years after his 2008 conviction. The communications reportedly included warm personal language, gifts, career discussions, and advice about how Epstein could handle media scrutiny over his crimes. Ruemmler has said she never represented Epstein as a lawyer, did nothing wrong, did not know about ongoing criminal conduct, and regrets ever knowing him, but the released material badly undercut any attempt to portray the relationship as minor or incidental.The problem for Goldman Sachs was obvious: Ruemmler was not just another executive, she was the bank's top lawyer and a senior figure responsible for legal, regulatory, and reputational judgment. Once the Epstein communications became public, the optics became untenable for someone whose job was to help safeguard the institution's integrity. Ruemmler announced she would step down as Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer and general counsel effective June 30, 2026, saying her responsibility was to put Goldman Sachs' interests first. Her resignation became one of the most significant U.S. professional consequences tied to the latest Epstein file releases, showing again how Epstein's network did not merely stain reputations by association, but exposed the judgment of powerful people who stayed close to him long after the public already knew what he was.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A Victoria's Secret Angel and a Goldman Sachs investor built one of the most talked-about luxury body care launches in recent memory without raising a cent or paying a single influencer. Jasmine Tookes spent two decades on the world's biggest runways turning down incubator deal after incubator deal, waiting to build something real. When she finally met Sabrina Carstensen—who spent years evaluating consumer brands at Goldman—they launched Brunel bootstrapped, profitable, and with a two-person team that pushed their chemists harder than any brand they'd ever worked with. In this interview, the co-founders of Brunel break down how they built a luxury body care brand from scratch on a lean budget, why organic community came before paid ads, and what it actually takes to get suppliers and manufacturers to take a self-funded brand seriously. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why Jasmine turned down 15 years of incubator deals before building her own brand • How they kept capital in reserve for collection two before collection one ever sold • Why word of mouth and organic TikTok drove their entire early growth—no paid influencers • Why the three-oil bundle outsold every individual product on launch day • The packaging crisis four months before launch—and how sheer persistence solved it • Why they stayed fully organic for six months before turning on paid ads • How Sabrina's investor background shapes every capital decision at Brunel • Why they didn't hire until they were ready—not desperate • Why their chemists said no brand had ever pushed them this hard • What Miranda Kerr's 11 years building Kora taught Jasmine about legacy brands If you're building a beauty or lifestyle brand, trying to grow profitably without burning cash on paid ads before you're ready, or just want the real story behind what luxury brand building looks like on a bootstrapped budget, this conversation will change how you think about product standards, community, and building something that lasts beyond the founder's name.

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan speaks with Russell Laplante, Chief Financial Officer of Convergent Energy and Power, one of the leading battery storage developers and operators in the United States. Russ shares his nearly two-decade journey in renewable energy from his Goldman Sachs training program to becoming the first employee at wind startup Own Energy in 2007, through utility-scale solar at Tradewind Energy and Savion, and now leading the financial strategy at Convergent's distributed and utility-scale battery storage platform. The conversation covers Convergent's business model working with commercial and industrial customers on behind-the-meter battery and solar-plus-storage projects, how they save C&I customers up to 40% on their energy bills, and how batteries help utilities defer costly transmission and distribution upgrades. The episode dives deep into the financing of battery storage, including tax equity, portfolio debt financing, partnership flip structures, and why distributed generation requires a fundamentally different capital strategy than utility-scale projects. Russ also shares his perspective on the massive opportunity around data centers, AI-driven load growth, speed to grid, the Big Beautiful Bill, ITC extension for storage, and what Foreign Entity of Concern(“FEOC”) compliance means for the battery supply chain.

You can earn half a million dollars a year and still have nothing left by the end of the month. That's not a theory. A Goldman Sachs study found 40% of people making over $500,000 are living paycheck to paycheck. The income isn't the problem. The identity is. George Kamel, #1 national bestselling author of Breaking Free from Broke and co-host of The Ramsey Show, has taken thousands of calls from people who earned great money and lost it all. People who confused looking rich with building wealth. Couples who kept separate bank accounts right up until the marriage fell apart. His take: debt is never just a math problem. It's a behavior problem. And no budget in the world sticks until you decide what kind of person you're going to be with money. In this conversation, George breaks down why buy now pay later apps are engineered to increase your cart size by 40%, why prediction markets like Polymarket are doing to young men what gambling apps did to the last generation, and why the moment someone calls a financial decision an "opportunity," they've usually already started justifying a terrible one. The path to financial peace is simpler than you've been told. And it starts with creating friction, not removing it.

June 3, 2026: Most people use a data center dozens of times a day and have no idea what it is. Today I'm changing that. I break down exactly what data centers are, what "compute" actually means, why every new AI model needs exponentially more of it, and how short we currently are as a country — using real numbers from Goldman Sachs, FERC, RAND, and others. Then I take on the five biggest myths driving the backlash: that new data centers waste water, that they're an energy disaster, that they kill jobs, that taxpayers are funding Big Tech, and that they destroy communities. I debunk every single one with sourced data — because the misinformation around data centers is doing real damage to America's AI future. These buildings currently account for 80% of US economic growth according to S&P Global, they're funding the nuclear renaissance, and they're the front line in a race with China that we cannot afford to lose. This is the episode I'd send to anyone who thinks data centers are the enemy.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Dr. Nomi Prins to the show. Dr. Nomi Prins is Founder of Prinsights Global and Substack. The discussion opens with a broad assessment of global economic headwinds, including the ongoing blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and rising bond yields. Dr. Prins explains that even a hypothetical resolution to the strait crisis would not immediately ease supply backlogs, keeping oil prices elevated and contributing to persistent inflation. She notes a significant dislocation between struggling economic confidence and stock markets reaching all-time highs, fueled by large asset funds and cash waiting on the sidelines. The conversation shifts to the beneficiaries of supply disruptions, where Dr. Prins sees value in oil producers outside the Middle East, such as those in Colombia, which can bypass the strait. She then highlights uranium as a critical, underappreciated story, emphasizing that nuclear energy's role in powering data centers and AI creates surging demand against a backdrop of severely constrained supply, with new mines taking up to 18 years to develop. This supply deficit, she argues, makes current uranium prices appear very low. Addressing inflation and central bank policy, Dr. Prins anticipates that while short-term rates will likely remain unchanged, the Federal Reserve may increase long-term bond purchases, effectively reawakening quantitative easing to manage debt servicing costs. She believes this will not significantly stimulate the broader economy but that real growth will come from hard assets and commodities like copper and silver, which are essential for electrification and in structural deficit. On gold, she remains bullish, citing its stability and the fact that central banks now hold it as their top reserve currency, viewing it as a long-term diversifier. She maintains a year-end gold price target of $6,000. The interview concludes with Dr. Prins pointing to significant investment opportunities in junior mining, particularly in copper, uranium, and rare earth elements, for investors who can look past current geopolitical volatility.

She has spent decades analyzing and investigating economic and financial events at the ground level and meeting with those that shape the world’s geopolitical-economic framework. She continues to break stories by conducting independent research, writing best-selling books, and traversing the globe to share her knowledge and demystify the world of money. Before becoming a renowned journalist and public speaker, Nomi reached the upper echelons of the financial world where she worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs, ran the international analytics group as a senior managing director at Bear Stearns in London, was a strategist at Lehman Brothers and an analyst at the Chase Manhattan Bank. During her time on Wall Street, she grew increasingly aware of and discouraged by the unethical practices that permeated the banking industry. Eventually, she decided enough was enough and became an investigative journalist to shed light on the ways that financial systems are manipulated to serve the interests of an elite few at the expense of everyone else.

She left Goldman Sachs, moved to Mozambique for a year, and came back to build one of the most distinct wellness brands in America.  Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures and co-host of The Story of a Brand Show, sits down with Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Apothékary, for a masterclass in what it really means to build a brand system not just a product line. From a New York City billboard to a Series A close, Apothékary is proof that deep roots and radical clarity can outpace any amount of paid media spend. * Three iterations before liftoff. Apothékary started as a pop-up store rooted in Ayurveda, evolved into powders, and eventually landed on liquid supplements, a format Shizu now considers a near-monopoly position. The lesson: your first product is almost never your final one. * Heritage as an operating system, not a mood board. Shizu's Japanese roots show up in how the company hires, iterates, and moves; guided by the principle of Kaizen, continuous improvement. It's not packaging. It's how the business runs. * TikTok crossed a million dollars a month and here's why. Apothékary's TikTok success isn't about chasing the algorithm. It's built on 20,000+ affiliates creating education-first content around a visually distinctive blue liquid dropper that stops the scroll and earns the click. * Retail forced brutal clarity. Entering Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe forced Apothékary to put ingredient benefits bigger than the brand name on packaging. The consumer doesn't have time for your founder story in the aisle and that discipline makes the brand stronger everywhere. * Distribution is the moat. In a category where products get copied, Shizu's sharpest insight is that the real defensibility is distribution,  the ability to play in grocery, health care, and beauty simultaneously, backed by proprietary formulas and Shiseido as a strategic investor. Join us in listening to this episode for one of the most intellectually rigorous and practically useful brand conversations we've had on the show.

The economics of artificial intelligence are more questionable today than two years ago, says Goldman Sachs Research's Jim Covello, as enterprise buyers, model companies, and hyperscalers have yet to show returns on their spend. In a conversation with Alison Nathan and George Lee on Goldman Sachs Exchanges, Covello discusses where we've seen economic value accrue to date and why semiconductor companies can't continue to be the sole beneficiaries of the AI buildout.

On today's episode of The CLS Experience we have a transformational conversation with the brilliant Marcus Weston, diving deep into Kabbalah, ego mastery, conscious leadership, and building true wealth consciousness. Marcus shares his powerful journey from Goldman Sachs and Citibank into becoming a global thought leader helping people reconnect to purpose, soul alignment, and fulfillment. Together, Craig and Marcus unpack why stress is often created by the gap between who we truly are and who we think we need to be, and how Kabbalah offers a lifelong path of awakening deeper desire, consciousness, and meaning. Marcus reframes ego not as something to destroy, but as an “energy intelligence” designed to strengthen us through challenges and resistance. They discuss comfort versus growth, why most people unknowingly make “bad trades” for temporary certainty, and how slowing down reactions creates freedom and power. The conversation also goes deep into money mastery, wealth blocks, receiving and sharing, and why wealth cannot shrink itself to meet your current identity - you must rise energetically to meet it. From purpose and wholeness to pain, leadership, sports psychology, and spiritual tools like Zohar practice and service, this episode is filled with wisdom for anyone looking to elevate their consciousness, leadership, and life.6:19 Awakening Big Desire14:20 Ego Defined by Kabbalah24:32 False Battles to Freedom41:02 Money Mastery Myths45:57 Hidden Wealth BlocksCheck out Marcus on Instagram HERE:Check out Marcus HERE:Check out this podcast live on YouTube:Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE:To join our community click here.➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X
