We dig deep into Don's business philosophy—why branding matters, how focusing on your target demographic leads to agency growth, and the importance of building a culture that puts employees first.

Jason Kosec, the new Chairman of Minera Alamos (TSX.V:MAI) (OTCQX:MAIFF), joins me to unpack the key takeaways from news announced on July 7th about their acquisition of Calibre USA Holdings Ltd from Equinox Gold Corp. for total consideration of US$115 million, subject to adjustment. Calibre USA holds a 100% economic interest in the producing Pan Gold Mine, development-stage Gold Rock Project, and exploration-stage Illipah Project in Nevada, USA. We start off discussing how this is a truly transformational transaction for the Company, in that it brings in the producing Pan Gold Mine, doing about 35,000-40,000 ounces of gold production annually at the heap leach operations. This mine is generating strong cash flows given the current record gold price environment, and Jason outlines how these revenues can be used to organically grow and develop the other pipeline of low-capital intensity, quick-build, high-return, gold development projects like the past-producing Copperstone Mine in Arizona, the Cerro De Oro Project in Zacatecas, Mexico, the Gold Rock Project in Nevada, and the Fortuna Project in Mexico. Jason also reiterates that this is not the company loosing interest or pivoting away from Mexico, but making an acquisition that brings in revenues and changes the valuation metrics while they await the permits in Mexico that the team still believes they will receive from the new administration. This transaction immediately strengthens their production profile, beyond just the residual leaching at the Santa operations. More importantly, bringing in a larger production profile should improve their valuation multiple with a likely rerating over time that is more in alignment with junior producing peers. Operating a solid production asset in Nevada will also lower their future cost of capital for advancing their other development assets, without as much equity dilution moving forward. There is also the benefit of minimizing future risk by diversifying their assets into one of the strongest jurisdictions there is in Nevada. We also discuss how the recent financing has attracted a much stronger institutional investor base that wants to see the pathway to multiple mines in multiple jurisdictions. We go on to discuss the exploration upside both around the Pan Mine and at the Gold Rock Project, not to mention across their whole portfolio of projects. Now there will larger incoming revenues to truly intensify exploration efforts at multiple projects. One can also see the pathway to future production growth and into a mid-tier producer with the Copperstone Mine slated to produce roughly 40,000 ounces of gold per year, and with both Cerro De Oro and Gold Rock each estimated to produce ~60,000 ounces of gold per year. After those 3 mines have ramped up to commercial production, alongside of the Pan Mine, then there is also the development-stage Fortuna Mine in Mexico that will move into position as mine number 5. If you have any follow-up questions for Jason regarding Minera Alamos, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com. In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Minera Alamos at the time of this recording. Click here to follow the latest news from Minera Alamos

Amy Rigby has established herself as one of America's enduring underground/cult/indie artists, combining the insight and humor of country and folk songwriting with classic rock craftsmanship and punk DIY spirit. Raised in Pittsburgh, schooled in late 70s lower Manhattan, she formed pre-Americana country band Last Roundup and Richard Hell's favorite girl group the Shams in NYC's East Village before launching a solo career with 90s classic album Diary Of A Mod Housewife. Amy's honest, kinetic songwriting has earned her praise from critics (“pithy wisdom, acerbic pen and sterling American guitar classicism” MOJO) and other artists: “Think Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright, at their best,” says Steve Earle. Her songs have been covered by Laura Cantrell, Ronnie Spector and John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants. Her 2019 memoir GIRL TO CITY was called “an instant classic” by The Big Takeover. “You can smell the damp, see the clothes, hear the guitars!” says Goldmine. The follow up, GIRL TO COUNTRY, comes out later this year.New album Hang In There With Me (2024), eleven up to the minute songs written by Amy and recorded by husband Wreckless Eric, is a bracing look at mortality, aging and youthful missteps, refracted through Amy's insightful lyricism. Some people turn to the moon and stars for inspiration while Amy Rigby looks to creative heroes like Bob Dylan and Mike Leigh. She finds poetry in haircuts, live chat boxes, bartending, and bookselling. Her music is the sound of everyday people getting by, just like the classic country artists she loved and learned to write songs from.Amy tours regularly in North America, the UK and Europe.

The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine is one of the most enduring legends of the American Southwest. Said to be hidden somewhere in the Superstition Mountains east of Apache Junction, Arizona, this mythical mine is named after Jacob “Dutchman” Waltz, who supposedly discovered a rich vein of gold in the 19th century and concealed its location before his death in 1891. Over the decades, thousands of treasure hunters have searched the rugged terrain of the Superstition Wilderness in hopes of finding Waltz's fabled treasure. The legend blends fact and fiction: Waltz did exist and was known to carry gold, but geological evidence casts doubt on the existence of a true vein of precious metal in the volcanic range. Which begs the question: Does the lost mine really exist, or is it just another tall tale of the Old West?

The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer. On Friday last week they pulled off the acquisition of the year, acquiring Windsurf, following their licensing agreement with Google. Previously a world-class competitive programmer, he was a gold medalist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and a member of the U.S. Math and Physics Olympiad teams. Before Cognition, he was a founding engineer at Scale AI, helping shape the early AI infrastructure stack. AGENDA: 00:00 – Why are founders walking away instead of going down with the ship? 01:05 – How did Cognition pull off the $220M Windsurf deal in just 72 hours? 04:45 – What really happened behind closed doors the weekend Windsurf was acquired? 07:15 – Did Google overlook a goldmine in the Windsurf team and IP? 09:00 – Who are the 100 people that secretly shape the future of AI? 12:30 – Can application startups ever gain leverage over foundation model giants like Anthropic? 14:15 – Is coding about to be replaced by simply describing what you want? 17:30 – 50% of new code is AI-written. Where does that go next? 20:45 – “We've gone from 0 to $80M ARR in 6 months. Quietly.” 25:00 – Are IDEs and agents just the training wheels for the real future of software engineering? 28:20 – If you could only back one—OpenAI or Anthropic—who's the better bet? 30:00 – Why has Cognition kept its insane growth a secret… until now?
