This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Top Tier Solar Solutions DM me "Top Tier" on IG at https://www.instagram.com/therealbradlea to get in on this gold rush LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Sam Van Wynen — the 28-year-old founder who built a nine-figure residential solar and battery company from the ground up, with no outside funding, and landed #4 on the Inc. 5000 with over 41,000% revenue growth in three years. Sam breaks down the brutal $11 million loss that almost killed his company before it took off, the pivot he made within weeks of Trump eliminating the solar tax credit, and why the battery market is the biggest gold rush in home services right now. He also gets into what real masculinity looks like, his MMA record training alongside former UFC champion Chris Weidman, and the faith journey that turned a lifelong skeptic into a proud Mormon. There's a gold rush happening right now in home services and most people are completely asleep on it. Sam breaks down exactly where the money is and how to get in. Don't sleep on this one.
Welcome to Money 911… where we talk about health, wealth, and peace of mind. Today's guest has spent over four decades watching money move, markets shift, governments pivot, and gold quietly hold its ground through all of it. While most people react emotionally to headlines… he's spent a lifetime studying what happens underneath the headlines. Our guest today is one of the most respected voices in precious metals… Founder of American Gold Exchange… former President of the Professional Numismatists Guild… and someone who has literally worked with Homeland Security and the Secret Service fighting counterfeit bullion. But today is not just about gold. It's about wisdom. Timing. Human behavior. Fear. Freedom. And what smart people are quietly doing with their money while everyone else is distracted. This is going to be fascinating, eye-opening, and probably a little surprising. Please welcome the legendary Dana Samuelson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, host Steve McAllister welcomed Dwain Powell, the Online Director, Sports Betting for Goldrush Gaming – the owners of the BetNova brand. BetNova entered the highly-competitive Ontario sports betting and igaming market this spring, so McAllister asked Powell about both the challenges and opportunities that have come from being latecomers to the province's regulated industry. Powell also addressed Goldrush's relationship with both the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and iGaming Ontario when setting up shop in Canada's largest province. Goldrush is one of the 45-plus operators which have registered to do business in Alberta when the proverbial puck drops on its regulated gambling marketplace next month. Powell answered our questions on Goldrush's road to Alberta so far and addressed the advertising and marketing strategy for BetNova, what makes the brand unique competing against established operators in Canada, and about responsible gaming. Powell told the story of his early days in the gambling business as a casino tables supervisor, moving into the online space, the legal gaming landscape in South Africa, and, of course, the World Cup of Soccer.

Tanner Mullen (founder of DripJobs) returns to the Painter Growth Podcast for one of his most tactical conversations yet. Mike Workman and Tanner dig into why software is becoming commoditized, why education and service are the real moats, and how AI is reshaping what it means to run a painting business in 2025.Tanner breaks down his new product, Routimize, a route-optimization booking system that lets customers book themselves directly from Facebook at peak intent, eliminates wasted drive time, and is already live in 36 beta companies. He explains why he's "done with leads," how the illusion of choice drives take rates, and how the same engine now powers an AI voice agent that books appointments end-to-end on nights and weekends.If you're a painting contractor trying to build an income-producing asset instead of a job, this episode is your playbook.⏱️ Timestamps below.00:00 Intro: Tanner Mullen returns00:32 Why it's the best time ever to be in business01:17 Using AI to automate the boring stuff01:52 Building an income-producing asset02:46 Risk-takers vs. people who wait04:03 The guy who asked for a free trial 4 years apart04:29 Developing the investor mindset05:13 Why DripJobs killed free trials05:33 Software is becoming commoditized06:24 Why education & service are the real moat06:53 Knowing the problem vs. implementing the change07:37 Building a department just for free training07:59 The four quadrants: urgent vs. important09:06 Time management is the #1 scaling skill09:26 Five recommended CEO calendars by business stage10:31 How AI changed software development for DripJobs11:37 Differentiating yourself in a gold rush12:13 Early-mover leverage & filing the patent13:18 Trust as a moat: protecting customer data14:13 Personal brand leverage in software15:02 Killer AI use case: instant custom proposals16:30 Staying focused as a product leader (no shiny objects)17:03 DripJobs' biggest bottleneck: offline mode & V217:41 What Routimize actually does18:03 The origin of DripJobs & speed to lead18:51 Why request systems still create friction19:42 How Routimize filters territory & enables VAs20:37 Building friction to get the right bookings20:58 Booking direct from Facebook with an AI chatbot21:46 "I don't want leads anymore"22:40 36 companies in beta23:14 The illusion of choice & booking rates24:17 Live demo: booking inside the service zone25:34 Propagating the best appointment time26:24 How much time it saves per salesperson27:00 The Calendly for service businesses27:20 Bulk routing for project managers28:19 Tanner the "time dealer"28:37 Customer experience & shortening the buying cycle29:55 On-the-way texts with real drive-time ETAs30:47 The Google Maps API cost reality31:05 Voice AI: booking calls on nights & weekends32:37 Why callers prefer to book by phone33:36 Reassuring admins this won't replace them35:10 Solving a problem that shouldn't exist35:38 Will Routimize beat DripJobs?

In this mid-year edition of This Year Next Year, Kate Scott-Dawkins unpacks a forecast that has been significantly upgraded since December — not in spite of geopolitical turbulence, but in some ways because of it.

He explained how AI has significantly reduced the need for expensive software and development labor that was previously required for e-commerce operations. Randy and Bubba compared how AI tools could have dramatically simplified their business operations when they were starting their companies, noting that current software solutions are still clunky and expensive despite technological advances. AI and Retirement Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed their experiences working with AI, noting how conversational AI has become and how it can help maintain mental engagement in retirement. They also talked about the physical activities they engage in to stay active, such as yard work and running a book business. The conversation shifted to discussing Elon Musk's net worth and the valuation of SpaceX, with Randy sharing insights from a discussion with Grok about SpaceX's plans for AI data centers in space. Alaska Summer Travel Planning Bubba and Randy discussed their summer travel plans and potential Alaska trip. Randy shared his research on visiting Alaska's national parks, considering flying instead of driving to reduce logistics complexity and cost. They explored options for visiting different parks, including those requiring plane access, and discussed potential itineraries that could be tailored to their availability and preferences. Alaska Winter Trip Planning Bubba and Randy discussed planning a winter trip to Alaska, with Bubba suggesting visiting during winter when there would be fewer people and colder temperatures. They explored potential locations including the Bering Strait area and discussed visiting national parks like Kobuk Valley and Gates of the Arctic. Bubba mentioned his interest in the Discovery Channel show Gold Rush and expressed hope of meeting some of the gold prospectors during the trip. The conversation concluded with Bubba hinting at an upcoming announcement about their travel plans for next year. World Cup Tourism Impact Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the positive impact of the World Cup on Route 66 tourism, noting increased international visitors and activity along the route since its inception in February. They highlighted the unique American experiences, such as visiting Buc-ee's, and reflected on the country's 250th anniversary celebrations. The conversation also touched on potential reuse of abandoned malls and the challenges of modern retail. Spielberg Movie and Film Discussion Bubba expressed disappointment with the new Spielberg movie Disclosure Day, stating that while the director's craft was impressive, the script did not work well and the film received mostly negative reviews. He compared it unfavorably to other recent releases like Masters of the Universe and The Mandalorian And Grougu movie, while expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming Toy Story 5 film. The conversation then shifted to discussing the re-release of Cars on Route 66 and the importance of road trips for family bonding, with both participants sharing personal experiences of traveling with their children. Generational Perspectives and Future Challenges Bubba and Randy discussed generational differences in life experiences and perspectives, particularly focusing on how younger generations are approaching life differently than previous generations due to economic challenges and changing circumstances. They explored topics including the impact of COVID on children's development, the potential effects of AI on future generations, and space exploration plans including lunar missions.

Our Summer in the Cities tour rolls into Toronto, where streetcars hum past glass towers, lake breezes slip between neighborhoods, and the music feels as cosmopolitan as it is stubbornly local. From jazz‑brushed confessions to molten metal anthems, Don and Dude drop the needle on two records that channel Toronto's coffeehouse introspection, blue‑collar grit, and noisy club‑scene swagger into city‑sized sound.The AlbumsJoni Mitchell – Court and Spark (1974)Court and Spark finds Joni Mitchell parlaying her Yorkville folk‑club roots into an elegant, jazz‑tinged song cycle about love, freedom, and the emotional static of city life. Short stories set in parties, hotel rooms, and Hollywood offices unfold over sophisticated chords and glassy arrangements, turning a Toronto‑born songwriter's gaze on fame, romance, and the uneasy balance between independence and connection.Anvil – Metal on Metal (1982)Metal on Metal captures Toronto's early‑80s metal underground in all its sweaty, denim‑and‑leather glory, as Anvil welds booming riffs, proto‑thrash speed, and monster‑movie mayhem into a raw, no‑nonsense statement of heavy‑metal faith. Recorded in their hometown just as traditional metal was mutating into something faster and meaner, the album plays like a beer‑soaked club set where double‑kick drums, shout‑along hooks, and cult‑movie nerdery collide.Diggin' AlbumsPaul McCartney – The Boys of Dungeon Lane (2026)Late‑career pop from a songwriting legend, revisiting post‑war Liverpool memories with warm, Beatles‑y melodies and polished, nostalgic storytelling.Neil Young – After the Gold Rush (1970)Classic Laurel Canyon‑era folk rock that marries fragile ballads and ragged guitar workouts in a reflective set about love, conscience, and a changing world.Brigitte Calls Me Baby – Irreversible (2026)Modern guitar pop where crooner vocals, retro romance, and road‑tested indie rock tunes meet in a sleek, heartfelt package.Old Crow Medicine Show – Union Made (2026)Lively string‑band Americana that salutes work, community, and country‑wide stories with fiddle‑powered sing‑alongs and a loaded guest list.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."...Full of life and motion, bustle, business and improvement.

For our "Should Have Seen" series, we explore King Kong's pioneering stop-motion and in-camera compositing techniques, compare them to later VFX innovations, and note moments that feel dated in scripting and representation while emphasizing the film's emotional impact and sympathy for Kong. For Chaplin's Gold Rush, we both admire the film's pristine restoration, large-scale production, and silent-era storytelling conventions.

What happens when two experienced television producers decide to leave the traditional TV industry and build a digital-first business from scratch?In this episode of TellyCast, Justin Crosby sits down with Pete Campion, Co-Founder of Indy Studios, to explore how he and former BBC producer Matt Ramsden have made the leap from broadcast television into the creator economy.Pete spent more than two decades producing large-scale international factual series, including the hugely successful Gold Rush franchise. But as the economics of traditional television became increasingly challenging, he saw an opportunity to apply those storytelling skills to YouTube, digital channels and AI-powered content.The conversation explores the realities of building a digital-first production company, why TV producers should have confidence in their storytelling skills, how Indie Studios is developing original YouTube channels, and why AI is creating entirely new opportunities for factual storytelling.Pete also discusses audience behaviour on YouTube, the importance of owning intellectual property, collaborating with creators, working with brands, and the lessons traditional production companies need to learn if they want to succeed in the new production economy.Elsewhere, Justin and Pete discuss the future of reality television, duty of care in content production, the opportunities for experienced TV producers in social video, and why storytelling remains the most valuable skill in any medium.Whether you're a producer, creator, commissioner, studio executive or media entrepreneur, this episode offers a fascinating insight into how one production company is navigating the transition from television to digital-first content.Key Topics• Building Indie Studios after redundancy from traditional TV • Why experienced TV producers are moving into digital-first content • Gold mining channels and niche audience strategies • Working with creators and athletes • The opportunities and risks of AI-generated storytelling • Legends of Gold and AI-powered factual content • What TV producers can learn from YouTube creators • Audience-first storytelling versus commissioner-led development • Duty of care in digital production • The future of independent production companiesEpisode Highlights• Pete's journey from Gold Rush to founding Indie Studios • Why “storytelling will win” regardless of technology changes • How AI is unlocking previously impossible factual stories • Building owned IP instead of relying on commissions • Lessons learned from publishing on YouTube • The biggest mindset shifts TV producers need to make • Why collaboration is essential for traditional indies entering digitalVisit Tubular Labs Sign up for The Drop newsletterSupport the showEnrol on the TellyCast Digital BootcampBuy tickets for the Digital Content ForumSubscribe to the TellyCast YouTube channel for exclusive TV industry videosFollow us on LinkedInConnect with Justin on LinkedINTellyCast videos on YouTubeTellyCast websiteTellyCast instaTellyCast TwitterTellyCast TikTok

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.In today's episode, we dive into the “new gold rush” of health marketing: AI search. Joining us is Vincent Grippi, founder and CEO of Grippi Media, a seasoned expert with over sixteen years of experience crafting digital marketing strategies for both startups and Fortune 500 brands. Featured in AdWeek, Business Insider, Fierce Healthcare, and Marketing Dive, Vincent has become a key thinker on the future of marketing, especially as AI rapidly reshapes the landscape of how consumers find and trust information.As AI-driven search tools become more prevalent, marketers face a barrage of new acronyms, shifting priorities, and a swirl of tools promising the next competitive advantage. But is all this hype justified or is confusion clouding marketers' judgment? Sara Payne and Vincent Grippi discuss the challenges, myths, and real strategies for thriving in the world of AI search, uncovering what businesses should and shouldn't be chasing in the age of rapidly evolving algorithms.Key Takeaways:1. SEO Fundamentals Still Rule Ignore the Hype Around New AcronymsDespite the explosion in AI search tools and terminology, Vincent stresses that marketers don't need to throw out their SEO playbooks. Google has clarified that AEO and GEO are myths; strong, traditional SEO remains the foundation for ranking and discoverability in AI search results (03:02, 06:23). Chasing new acronyms or unproven tools is likely to waste time and resources.2. Chasing Hacks and Tool-Based Shortcuts is Risky (and Costly)Vincent warns against “hacks” like AI-generated spam content or gaming platforms like Reddit, which may yield short-term wins but almost always backfire, leading to plummeting rankings or even platform bans (04:09, 04:41). Many popular tools are simply wrappers built on top of existing AI like ChatGPT and charge steep fees without meaningful results. Marketers should be wary of proprietary “visibility” scores or brand metrics that vary wildly between platforms (16:05).3. Discoverability is the New Visibility: Focus on Meaningful PresenceAI search changes how users access information summaries, replacing ten blue links, and click-through rates on web content are falling fast (20:12). Marketers must go beyond surface-level “visibility” to focus on discoverability: mapping high-value, original content to the specific prompts and research needs of their ideal customer profiles. This means prioritizing non-commodity content, such as unique research, proprietary data, case studies, and expert perspectives (08:46, 12:26).4. Thought Leadership and Digital PR Are More Important Than EverAI search doesn't just reward what's published on your site it pulls in podcasts, videos, ratings, reviews, and third-party features. Sara and Vincent emphasize the necessity of digital PR, proactive reputation management, and strategic media placements to build both authority and trust (23:26, 25:26). Genuine originality and credibility whether in written articles, public speaking, or interviews set brands apart in both the algorithm's eyes and consumers' trust.5. Marketers Must Reframe Success Metrics and Build Trust, Not Just TrafficThe AI search landscape demands new thinking around measurement: instead of obsessing over conversions or clicks, marketers should triangulate traditional SEO metrics with AI visibility, share of voice, and brand sentiment. With fewer referrals from search, ultimate success is about influencing perception, discovering new audience touchpoints, and fostering trust by surfacing reliably credible, compelling information where it matters (19:01, 36:07).Thank you for joining us for this conversation on staying grounded and staying ahead amidst the noise of AI search.

In this powerful episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, host Simma the Inclusionist sits down with Emmy award-winning journalist and author Dion Lim to confront a question too many are avoiding: "Why has the conversation about anti-Asian hate gone silent"? Dion takes us behind the headline-making DM that changed her career — an anonymous video of an elderly Asian man being brutally beaten in San Francisco — and reveals what it took to bring stories like his to light when her own newsroom resisted. From the murder of Vincent Chin to COVID-era scapegoating, she traces the deep historical roots of anti-Asian racism in America. She explains why the silence after the peak of BLM and Stop AAPI Hate is not just disappointing — it's dangerous. Topics in This Episode: Why anti-Asian hate is "as old as the Gold Rush" — and why we're erasing that history The cultural shame that keeps Asian American victims from speaking out The death threats and hit pieces Dion faced for reporting the truth How DEI rollbacks are affecting communities right now What Black-Asian solidarity actually looks like on the ground The role food, music, and pop culture play in bridging racial divides Dion's new book Amplify: My Fight for Asian America (foreword by Olivia Munn) You'll hear: The anonymous 12-second DM that changed everything — a video of an elderly Asian man being attacked while collecting cans in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood Why Asian American victims often don't come forward: cultural conditioning, family shame, distrust of media, and generational silence Anti-Asian hate isn't new — from the Gold Rush to Vincent Chin to Yik Oi Huang and Vishal Ratanapakdee How COVID gave people permission to blame Asians — and how "kung flu" and "China virus" language fueled violenc The backlash Dion faced: a Washington Post hit piece orchestrated by a former DA's team, death threats from people who denied anti-Asian hate was real Why the Asian American community isn't monolithic — income inequality, cultural differences, and the "model minority" myth The connection between Black and Asian communities — shared history, manufactured division, and what solidarity actually looks like on the ground Grassroots response: patrol groups, the Blue Angels in Oakland, and the role of everyday people showing up for each other Simma's own history with the original Rainbow Coalition — The Young Patriots, the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and Asian groups working together in the late '60s and '70s The immigrant parent dynamic: silence as survival, pride as a long time coming, and what it meant when Dion's father finally expressed pride after her 20/20 appearance What Dion wants for the next generation: be loud, find your community, take care of your mental health, and don't be afraid to take up space TV recommendation: Warrior — the series about the rise of the Tongs and how Chinese workers were treated in California The ask: get Amplify on the New York Times bestseller list — and why it matters beyond sales Key Learnings: Silence is not safety. When institutions stop talking about race, hate doesn't disappear — it goes underground and grows. The rollback of DEI programs and race coverage in newsrooms makes communities more vulnerable, not more comfortable. Anti-Asian hate has deep American roots. This isn't a COVID story. It goes back to the Gold Rush, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the murder of Vincent Chin. Understanding that history is the first step to not repeating it. Cultural conditioning keeps people quiet. Many Asian Americans are raised to not cause a fuss, not draw attention, not inconvenience others. That silence protects no one — it protects the people doing harm. Division between communities is often manufactured. The tension between Black and Asian communities didn't come from nowhere. It was seeded deliberately, and it dissolves quickly when people actually get to know each other. You don't have to share someone's experience to show up for them. The people who moved Dion most weren't Asian — they were people from every background who said "I didn't know, and now I do."

Venture Unlocked: The playbook for venture capital managers.
Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked.

Steven Johnson dreamed of building the ultimate research assistant. Now he's doing just that at Google, where he's the co-founder and editorial director of NotebookLM.It's one of the most interesting AI products out there. It radically changes how we learn, research, and remember — and the "notebook" itself is becoming a standard unit of knowledge across Google, rolling out in more and more places where AI needs to reference a body of sources.In this episode, the author of _Where Good Ideas Come From_ explains how AI is making him a better researcher and writer — and why tools like NotebookLM are so powerful when you're trying to make new connections, remember what you've already found, and figure out what's missing.There's a lot of fear right now that AI is making us dumber. That by relying on it too much, we're engaging in "cognitive offloading" and stunting our learning. That's a real risk, especially in schools.But Steven says we should also be talking about what you can gain from AI — and the power of something he calls "cognitive uploading."Resources:* Google NotebookLM: https://notebooklm.google/* Steven Johnson: https://stevenberlinjohnson.com/Support Future Around & Find Out:* Follow Dan on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dblums/* Get the free newsletter: https://www.futurearound.com* Become a paid subscriber and help future proof FAFO! https://www.futurearound.com/upgrade(00:00) - If you are interested in truly understanding something, this is the greatest time to be alive (01:25) - Steven's controversial NYT piece and the cold call from Google Labs (02:55) - Who NotebookLM's power users are (04:40) - The notebook as a new format for knowledge (06:20) - Featured notebooks: earnings reports, Shakespeare, and Dungeons & Dragons (11:00) - Writing a book about the Gold Rush with NotebookLM (13:20) - Four weeks of research in 14 minutes (16:30) - Following serendipitous connections through the source material (17:50) - Cognitive offloading and the illusion of understanding (21:00) - How Steven actually writes with AI (24:30) - Paragraph by paragraph: a new kind of writing (26:55) - Do readers need to know AI helped write it?

Anthropic raised $65 billion last week making it the largest funding round in AI history. It also filed for an IPO days later. So did OpenAI and SpaceX after its merger with xAI. Three of the most powerful AI companies in the world are heading to public markets in the same window. They're flush with capital but burning through more than they earn. Meanwhile, the startups that were supposed to be the next wave are being quietly absorbed. The funds that would have backed them are drying up. So what exactly does the future of AI entrepreneurship look like from here on?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

“Gold is having a moment,” writes New Yorker staff writer Jennifer Wilson. Earlier this year, it traded as high as $5,500 an ounce as an unstable economic outlook has central banks and investors buying gold to hedge their bets. Gold has been embraced by the far right, reality TV, and hobbyists and full-time prospectors headed up to the foothills where the California Gold Rush began. Wilson explores all these angles in her latest piece “How Americans Caught Gold Fever Again.” We talk to Wilson and experts – and a gold prospector – about the legacy and future of this precious metal. Guests: Jennifer Wilson, staff writer, The New Yorker - her recent article is "How Americans Caught Gold Fever Again" Albert Fausel, owner, Placerville Hardware; part-time gold prospector Quinn Slobodian, professor of international history, Boston University Brian Wallace, executive officer, Indigenous Futures Society Learn more about your ad choices.

Berkeley's waterfront has undergone many transformations. For millennia, the shoreline was dotted with Ohlone village sites, thriving amidst an abundance of fish and fowl. In the decades following the Gold Rush, factories and neighborhoods sprouted up, clogging the former wetlands with human and industrial waste. Over the past century, the waterfront transitioned into a place for recreation and nature, thanks to the creation of a marina, parks, and restoration projects. Today's episode was inspired by “On the Waterfront: The Other Side of Berkeley,” an exhibition currently on display at the Berkeley Historical Society and Museum. The first segment features stories collected by Camille Antinori as part of the Berkeley Fishing Oral History Project, which gathered memories of local anglers who grew up fishing at the Berkeley Pier. The second segment includes an interview with Berkeley Historical Society co-president Mitchell Fleischer. If you really want to the full experience, listen to this podcast while taking a stroll along Berkeley's waterfront trails.

AI was supposed to cure disease, solve climate change, and usher humanity into a futuristic utopia. Instead, some people are now asking ChatGPT if they should cheat on their spouse with their Pilates instructor. In this episode, I dive into Alessandra Ram's incredible Wired article, “Meet The Sad Wives of AI,” and explore the strange psychological fallout of the AI boom: founders treating chatbots like children, relationships collapsing under nonstop “vibe coding,” and people outsourcing emotional intimacy to machines that endlessly validate them. We unpack why this tech boom feels different from the Gold Rush or dotcom era, why AI may be more psychologically dangerous because it talks back, and what happens when the people building “human connection” tools stop connecting with actual humans.Subscribe to The Zach Show 2.0 to gain early access to all future episodes, exclusive AMAs, the ability to suggest guest questions, bonus content, and more: https://thezachshow.supercast.com/The Zach Show Links: The Zach Show 2.0: https://thezachshow.supercast.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3zaS6sPYouTube: https://bit.ly/3lTpJdjInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/auxoro/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zachshowpod Website: https://www.auxoro.com/Substack: https://thezachshow.substack.com/If you're not ready to subscribe to The Zach Show 2.0, rating the show on Spotify or Apple Podcasts is free and massively helpful.

They lied about Benghazi. They lied about MAGA being dead. They lied about what's happening to your wallet at the pump. And the Marc Cox Morning Show spent four hours this Wednesday morning making sure you know the truth. Donald Trump is 8-for-8 in Senate endorsements after Ken Paxton's Texas blowout turned John Thune's $100 million gamble into the most expensive political miscalculation in recent memory — and Marc Cox called every bit of it. Senator Eric Schmidt came to St. Louis to set the record straight: Operation Viper just put 91 criminals behind bars including 17 illegal immigrants headed for deportation, the Senate nominee bottleneck is broken, and this president will not repeat Obama's Iran disaster. Heritage Foundation's Nicole Huyer exposed New York City's full communist playbook — property seizures, $30 million fake grocery stores, and rent control strangling the life out of the city one landlord at a time. Dr. Jeremy Levin dropped a national security bombshell: China could own America's medicine cabinet by 2035 if Washington doesn't act now and the FDA is already crumbling from within. Charles Payne revealed that America's manufacturing renaissance is just getting started and the AI gold rush is minting winners in corners of the market nobody's even watching yet. Jimmy Failla brought the unfiltered truth about New York's $6,500 rent nightmare and why Spencer Pratt's LA campaign is the most important outsider race in the country. Marc Cox and Kim took on the health maxing obsession killing common sense in America, QT's gas price shakedown of hardworking Midwest families, and LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt's brutally honest truth about homelessness that every politician in America needs to hear. And Jeanine Pirro closed it all out with the bombshell conservatives have waited years to hear — drone footage proving the government watched Benghazi happen in real time and sent Susan Rice out the next morning to lie to your face. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — four hours of truth, common sense, and the conservative firepower that the mainstream media prays you never find.

If you want to know where America's economy is really headed — Charles Payne is the man to ask. The Fox Business host and Making Money star joins Marc Cox to break down a manufacturing renaissance that most of the mainstream media is completely ignoring. The Big Beautiful Bill is already delivering, drug production is coming home, data centers are the future whether your city council likes it or not, and the AI revolution is minting millionaires in corners of the market nobody's even looking at yet. Charles explains why Micron just hit a trillion dollar valuation faster than any company in history, why SanDisk went up 1,000%, and why the real AI money isn't where you think it is. Plus — Ferrari's electric car just cratered its own stock, Pope Leo is weighing in on artificial intelligence, and the SpaceX IPO might be the biggest market event in years. This is the financial conversation every conservative investor needs to hear — only on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Matt and Doug discuss signs of consumer strain in the U.S.—record-low sentiment, rising delinquencies, and high prices—alongside a stock market at all-time highs, comparing the disconnect to historical episodes like Germany's 1923 hyperinflation. They argue official inflation measures are unreliable, deficits and money printing persist, foreign holders are cutting U.S. Treasuries, and gold benefits while mining stocks remain cheap; Doug remains long gold, oil, and commodities and warns the AI/data-center boom may be a debt-fueled bubble. The conversation turns to widening inequality, debt-based consumption tools, weaker job prospects even for top graduates, and fears of social unrest and potential civil conflict. They criticize what they describe as escalating corruption under Trump, including a DOJ settlement structure and extensive trading disclosures suggesting insider activity, then discuss elections, AIPAC/Israel influence, speech taboos, and rising generational and ethnic tensions. 00:00 Everybody Wants Love 00:08 Economy vs Market Highs 01:34 Sticker Shock in America 04:28 Inflation Numbers Doubt 05:57 Treasuries to Gold Rush 07:12 Mining Stocks and ESG 08:36 AI Data Center Bubble 10:32 Haves and Have Nots 12:08 Buy Now Pay Later Living 13:23 Decades of Debt Warnings 17:10 Trump Corruption Claims 17:50 DOJ Settlement Slush Fund 24:25 Insider Trading Allegations 25:50 Epstein and Ukraine Talk 28:59 Elections and Voter Trust 32:17 Israel Influence and AIPAC 36:38 Hate Speech and Taboo Topics 40:32 Tribalism and Protected Classes 44:22 Civil War and Generational Rift 47:22 Wrap Up and Next Guest
There are 48 data centers currently in operation across Utah. Few of them received public attention as they went through the public planning process. But the data centers currently in development are being put under the public's microscope. Deseret News reporter Art Raymond and New York Times reporter Karen Weise join us to help understand why that is.

This week, we're sharing an episode of another podcast we like — from another journalist named Amy.Award-winning climate journalist Amy Westervelt returns with a new season of Drilled, a true-crime podcast about the deception, disinformation, and power structures standing between us and real climate solutions. This season is called “Carbon Cowboys,” and exposes how Republican corn ethanol mogul Bruce Rastetter sold his “sustainable aviation fuel” to world leaders, from North Dakota to Brazil.The problem? His “clean energy” project does nothing to help climate change. “Drilled: Carbon Cowboys” follows the land grabs, pipelines, and political power stopping real progress from being made.Here's episode one. Find “Drilled” wherever you get podcasts, and hear episodes early and ad-free with a Pushkin+ subscription. Sign up on the “Drilled” show page on Apple Podcasts or at pushkin.fm/plus.
As his American company Summit Carbon Solutions struggles with backlash to a carbon capture pipeline linking corn ethanol plants across the Midwest, Bruce Rastetter is not slowing down. Instead, he’s celebrating some big wins for his Brazilian company, FS Fueling Sustainability, from new ethanol-friendly climate policy to government funding for their carbon capture project. Pushkin+ subscribers can hear episodes early and ad-free. Find Pushkin+ on the Drilled show page on Apple Podcasts or at pushkin.fm/plus.
