My guest today is Gavin Baker, founding partner and CIO of Atreides Management, and this is our sixth conversation. The central theme is watts and wafers, the two physical constraints that in Gavin's view will dictate the next phase of AI. On power, he thinks the near-term shortage starts to ease in 2027 and 2028 as new sources of energy come online, and that orbital compute solves it in the long term. On wafers, he explains what is different this time from the dotcom bubble and why TSMC's capacity decisions may be the single most important variable to watch. We also discuss Elon's Terrafab, the disaggregation of GPUs, the role of new chip companies, and whether the economic value of AI will keep accruing to frontier models.

The number of hot, dry, windy days is increasing, setting the stage for fires. Wildfire season is off to an awful start. In March, Nebraska had its largest wildfire in state history. Right now, a fire outside of LA is forcing evacuations. While the federal government spends about $3 billion on wildfire suppression each year, most of that is being spent, and states are having to fill the gaps. Also: why Google is "leading the way" in the AI race.

Investors have been souring on bonds. To entice them back, bond yields have been rising. The yield on the 30-year bond yesterday hit 5.2%, the highest rate since 2007; 10-year yields are about as high as they've been in more than a year. Many people have exposure to bonds in their retirement accounts. Bond yields also impact the rates on mortgages and business loans. We'll explain. Then, Google's search revenue remains strong — thanks in large part to AI.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Steven Johnson, co-founder of Notebook LM, not about AI but about his book, The Infernal Machine: A True Story of Dynamite, Terror, and the Rise of the Modern Detective.  They start with the story of how the Swiss dominated the watch industry for over a century, thanks to a highly decentralized network of cottage laborers in the Jura mountains. The culture of autonomy in the industry was so strong that it turned Swiss watchmakers into some of history's first anarchists, which in the 19th century simply meant self-organization. The movement became associated with disorder and violence after many anarchists adopted Nobel's invention of dynamite as their weapon. The public outcry against their violent attacks on heads of state and industry led to many modern surveillance techniques, including wiretapping and fingerprinting..  Steven and Kim speculate that some approaches to company-building in Silicon Valley have embraced bottom-up self-organization principles of the Jura mountains. They explore how we might have a viable alternative to capitalism and socialism today if anarchists had not embraced dynamite. They agree it's not too late to imagine that viable alternative–maybe one of them will write that book.  Guest Background: Steven Johnson is the Co-Founder and Editorial Director, NotebookLM; Author of 14 books on science, technology, and innovation; co-creator and host of BBC/PBS series How We Got To Now and Extra Life. He is the host of the podcast The TED Interview and the author of the newsletter Adjacent Possible. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and Marin County, California, with his wife and three sons.

One of the biggest mistakes I see real estate investors make is ignoring SEO because they think it's too complicated or doesn't work anymore. But in this episode, I sat down with Caleb Luketic, and he completely changed the way a lot of people are going to think about free leads online.Caleb shared how he generated a 36x ROI from organic SEO leads without spending crazy money on ads. And the cool thing is, he breaks it down into really practical steps anybody can start doing today, even if you're brand new.We talked about why your website still matters, how to build trust online, and why your personal brand is more important now than ever before. Caleb also explained how social media, Google reviews, AI-generated content, and simple storytelling can help sellers find you and choose you over your competitors.One of my favorite parts of the conversation was hearing how investors can use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to create blog posts, social media ideas, and SEO content in minutes without sounding robotic.If you want more inbound leads, better credibility, and a long-term marketing strategy that keeps working while you sleep, you're going to love this episode.What's Inside: —How Caleb gets a 36x ROI from organic SEO leads—Why branding and trust matter more than fancy websites—Simple ways to use AI for SEO and content creation—The importance of reviews, testimonials, and social proof

At Google I/O 2026, Phillip sits down with Suresh Ganapathy, Senior Director of Product Management for Consumer Shopping at Google, to unpack the day's announcements: Universal Commerce Protocol's expansion into new verticals, agentic payments arriving in Gemini Spark, and the debut of Universal Cart. We trace what these foundational pieces mean for how a billion daily shoppers, and the merchants serving them, will operate in an agent-mediated economy. Enter the Delegation Era Key Takeaways: Universal Cart maintains shopper state across Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail. The cart works on your behalf: tracking prices, flagging restocks, and catching product incompatibilities. Agent Payments Protocol's (AP2) tamper-proof contracts make agent purchases verifiable and accountable to shopper intent. Merchants remain seller of record, preserving customer relationships inside agentic flows. Gemini Spark becomes Google's first consumer agent with purchasing authority this fall. Key Quotes: "We're laying the foundational building blocks of agentic commerce." — Suresh Ganapathi "People come to shop at Google over a billion times a day, and we want to make sure that we're delivering the best experience to them when they do." — Suresh Ganapathi "We want to make it really simple for shoppers to enjoy the fun parts of shopping and then delegate some of these more tedious aspects to agents." — Suresh Ganapathi "Spark is the agent. AP2 is the payments protocol. Universal Cart is the ability for consumers to have less friction." — Phillip Further Reading: More on Google's AI play: Insiders: Google Solidifies Its Place in the AI Race More on agent-mediated commerce: Member Brief: Agentic Commerce and the eCommerce Site's New Existential Crisis Our 2026 Predictions: The Age of Autonomy Learn more about Google I/O Google's Universal Cart Announcement Our Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Chiropractors get targeted by bad SEO pitches constantly, and most of them have no way to tell the difference between a legitimate offer and a scam. Not because they're not smart, but because they don't know what they don't know. And the people running these pitches are counting on exactly that. In this episode, Jerry shares two real examples from actual clients in the past week: a fake SEO grade scanner that gave a client a C based on information that was completely fabricated, and an AI-generated personalized video that appeared to show serious problems with a client's website but was showing a site that wasn't even theirs. Both were designed to do one thing: make you panic and sign something before you think it through. From there, Jerry walks through five red flags you can use to spot a bad pitch before it costs you six months of fees and zero results. The 5 Red Flags Panic and urgency: SEO is a long-term relationship with Google, not a fire drill. Anyone trying to make you feel like you need to act right now is working the pressure angle on purpose. Ghost evidence: If someone tells you something is broken on your site, ask them to show you how to verify it yourself. If they can't or won't, that tells you everything. Generic grades: The grade is the gimmick. Ignore it. The only thing worth reading is the fine print, and if there is no fine print explaining why you got that grade, throw the whole report out. Secrets and hacks: There are no secrets in SEO. When someone positions their approach as a missing piece only they know about, that is either dishonest or ignorant, and neither one inspires confidence. Technical mumbo jumbo: Some complexity is real. But if someone makes no effort to explain what they are doing in terms you can follow, ask yourself whether that is because it is complicated or because they need you confused.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role).  Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did." Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission? That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem. Once I did, I wanted every woman to experience that same freedom. I'm now on a mission to silence self-doubt in 10 million women in 10 years by giving them simple strategies to speak up and ask for what they want in the boardroom and beyond, resulting in more clients, job promotions, and negotiation wins.

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Jim Lecinski, the marketer behind the “Zero Moment of Truth” framework during his time at Google and now Clinical Professor of Marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, about how AI is reshaping consumer discovery. From search and social to retail media networks and AI assistants, Jim explains why brands must rethink how they influence decision-making before the point of purchase.The conversation also explores how AI is influencing both consumers and marketers, and what CMOs should prioritize as discovery becomes increasingly fragmented across platforms and channels.Key takeaways:The “Zero Moment of Truth” is expanding across AI, social, retail media, influencers, and search-driven discovery.Brands should start with understanding consumer questions and behaviors before determining where to invest media dollars.AI is reshaping both consumer decision-making and how marketing organizations structure teams, strategies, and customer insights.

I was walking my dog, talking to my dad on the phone, and he mentioned this thing he'd heard about on NPR - some AI tool where you could just type any question and get an answer. My reaction? "Huh. Why would I need that when I have Google?"That was not that long ago. Wild.Just a couple of short years later, and AI is literally everywhere. But a lot of photographers I talk to are genuinely conflicted about using it - and I think that conflict is worth taking seriously! So in this episode, I'm sharing the framework I personally use to make sure the work I do with AI tools feels aligned with my values.Here's what I'm covering:  Why I think of AI the same way I think about switching from auto mode to manual on your camera (and why that analogy actually holds up)  The three things you need every single time you sit down to work with AI  Where AI genuinely moves the needle... and where it needs to stay out of the way  The real gift AI gives you (which probably isn't what you think)If you've ever gotten AI output that felt like beige content that could have come from anyone, this is for you.Resources:New to the podcast?

Ceci est une extrait de l'épisode 308 avec PhD Anne Laure Le CunffJe ne sais pas vous, mais j'ai la sensation que dans cette société on nous pousse à chercher les bonnes réponses, à sécuriser nos choix, et donc à éviter l'échec. Sauf qu' à force, on a désappris quelque chose d'essentiel : expérimenter.Anne-Laure Le Cunff est docteure en neurosciences au prestigieux King's College de London, entrepreneuse et chercheuse. Ancienne cadre dans l'équipe santé digitale de Google, elle a fondé Ness Labs et a quitté une carrière classique dans un des GAFA pour explorer une autre manière de vivre et de penser, plus alignée avec la curiosité. À travers son travail quotidien et son livre “Petites expérimentations pour vivre en grand" elle défend une idée simple : avancer ne passe pas par la certitude, mais par l'expérimentation.Dans cet épisode, elle explique pourquoi notre cerveau préfère la sécurité à l'inconnu, pourquoi les transitions de vie — ces espaces “entre deux” — nous déstabilisent autant, et comment on peut apprendre à naviguer autrement. On parle de prise de décision, de peur, de changement d'identité, et de cette tendance à vouloir que tout fasse sens immédiatement.Elle propose aussi des outils concrets, notamment avec les enfants : transformer le quotidien en laboratoire, tester, observer, ajuster, sans jugement. Parce que c'est comme ça qu'on apprend vraiment.Un épisode pour sortir du besoin de certitude et réapprendre à explorerAu programme :

BYU football head coach Kalani Sitake recalled his talks with Penn State to On3's Pete Nakos. In Sitake's commentary, he noted, "It all works out the way it's supposed to." How critical was it for BYU to retain Sitake? KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper explores that. Sitake turning down Penn State led to the Nittany Lions hiring former Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. Campbell's old employer, ISU, made some headlines when AD Jamie Pollard said the SEC/Big Ten should break away. Would that be a good thing? Athlon Sports has Bear Bachmeier on the cover of the 2026 preview on the West Coast. They rolled out their preview, and Mitch shared some initial thoughts. Then, finally, some news and notes from the basketball recruiting trail, as BYU basketball was well-represented at various Live Period events on the circuit over the weekend.

Pinterest has changed a lot over the years, and if you still think of it as the place where people save wedding inspo and recipes, it may be time for a little refresh.In this episode, I'm joined by Kate Ahl of Simple Pin Media to talk about what's actually working on Pinterest in 2026. We get into why Pinterest is still one of the best platforms for cold traffic, how users are searching and saving content right now, and what business owners need to know before adding Pinterest to their marketing strategy.Kate breaks down why Pinterest is a slower-moving platform, what metrics matter most, and how to think about images, keywords, video, and ads without turning this into a full-time job. Bless.We also talk about the AI situation on Pinterest, including AI-generated images, Pinterest's AI labels and filters, and how AI is being used more thoughtfully inside ad tools and product visuals. Plus, Kate shares how she's using AI in her own agency while still protecting the human strategy, creative judgment, and experience that make her work valuable.In this episode, we talk about:Why Pinterest is a strong cold traffic platform in 2026How Pinterest users behave differently from Instagram and TikTok usersThe two Pinterest metrics Kate recommends watching closelyWhat makes a strong Pinterest image todayHow often business owners should actually be pinningWhere keywords matter on PinterestThe current role of video on PinterestHow Pinterest is handling AI-generated contentWhat to know about Pinterest ads and Performance PlusHow Kate is marketing her own business through Google, YouTube, Pinterest, email, and podcastingWhat marketers can learn from choosing the platforms that match their energyKate's quick action step is a good one: open the Pinterest app on your phone and use it like an actual person. Notice what catches your attention, what annoys you, what makes you click, and what makes you immediately back away from a website because there are approximately 175 pop-ups trying to ruin your day.Because yes, sometimes the best marketing research is remembering that real humans are on the other side of the screen.

As retail leaders prepare for Shoptalk Europe 2026, the conversation is no longer centered on what AI could do. It's shifting toward what AI in retail is already doing, where it is creating measurable value, and what it takes to move from pilots to profit. In this episode of the RETHINK Retail Podcast, Jeremy Goldman, VP of Insights at RETHINK Retail, sits down with Joe Laszlo, Head of Content at Shoptalk, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the Shoptalk Europe agenda is built, and why this year's program reflects a more execution-focused moment for retail. The conversation explores: → Why the Shoptalk Europe 2026 agenda moves beyond theory and into real-world retail AI application → How European retail leaders are navigating AI, customer connection, and physical retail reinvention → Why agentic commerce is being approached with both excitement and scrutiny → What makes the European retail conversation distinct across markets, regulations, and consumer behaviors → Which sessions and speakers are set to shape the biggest retail conversations in Barcelona With leaders from Vestiaire Collective, Arc'teryx, Christian Louboutin, Zalando, Estée Lauder, Sephora, L'Oréal, Google, and more taking the stage, Shoptalk Europe is bringing together the people defining what retail execution looks like next.

$60,000 in 4 days from ONE hotel. That's what Benjamin Gregory pulled off — and he didn't get the job from Google ads, yard signs, or door knocking. He got it from LinkedIn.In this episode I'm breaking down a real commercial pressure washing job from a real student. Benjamin packed his rig, traveled from his home market down to the Carolinas, and walked away with a $60K invoice in 4 days of on-site work. Most pressure washers will go their entire career without seeing a single check like that — and the reason isn't talent or equipment. It's where they're looking for customers.LinkedIn is where hotel general managers, facility managers, property management regional directors, and commercial real estate decision-makers actually live during the work week. They're not on Nextdoor. They're not searching Google for "pressure washing near me." They're scrolling LinkedIn between meetings — and almost nobody in our industry is showing up there.Tonight I'm walking you through:▸ The exact $60K / 4-day job — what was cleaned, how it was priced, how the crew pulled it off▸ Benjamin's LinkedIn playbook — who to connect with, what to post, the DM that opens the door▸ Why the buyers you actually want are on LinkedIn (and why your competition isn't)▸ How to price a commercial hotel package the right way (don't itemize, sell the outcome)▸ The 4-zone execution plan for big multi-day commercial jobs▸ Your this-week LinkedIn punch list — what to do tomorrow morning to start building this pipeline before summer fills upThis is for the pressure washing business owner doing $80K–$200K in residential who's ready to stop chasing $300 driveways and start landing real commercial work. The play is open. The window is mid-May. Your competition isn't paying attention.

Blackstone, the world's largest private owner of data centers, will invest $5 billion in equity capital in a new artificial intelligence infrastructure company with Google, the New York-based asset management firm announced Monday.Google will supply the new U.S.-based company with its tensor processing units — chips purpose-built for processing artificial intelligence computations — bringing the first 500 megawatts of compute capacity online by 2027, with “plans to scale significantly over time,” Blackstone said in a statement.“This new company has enormous potential as it helps to meet the unprecedented demand for compute,” Jon Gray, President and COO of Blackstone, said in the statement.The unnamed company will be helmed by Benjamin Treynor Sloss, who most recently served as Google's chief programs officer. A Google spokesperson declined to comment on whether Google would retain a direct leadership role in it.The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the joint venture before Blackstone's official statement, said the private equity giant would hold a majority stake, citing sources familiar with the matter.Blackstone did not disclose the venture's ownership structure in its statement, and did not respond to CNBC's request for comment by publication time.The Journal also reported that the joint venture has already identified likely data center locations, some of which are under construction.Blackstone, which manages more than $1.3 trillion in assets, has invested aggressively across the AI ecosystem and, earlier this month, established a similar venture with Anthropic.Shares of Alphabet and Blackstone rose by about 1% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
